well...not slipping cause I would never go into a thread titled "GRIME DUBSTEP BASSLINE FUNKY 2008 THREAD"....and ever since that "Grime vs. Def Jux" I've kept my distance from such things.

Love this album. Pussy'ole and the UGK track are great.

Wait this is kinda crazy, so that album never came out in the US?

i liked this more than his other 2... but for various reasons.

i just thought he was best balanced on this.

but feel what you want, it's a free country (for now)

Definitely his most accessible album to US fans, this should actually do pretty well in the US indie scene. I love this album and would definitely buy it if I could find it in a store.

I heard that joint "paranoid" at burning man while I was royally fucked up. shit was blaring out of some ridiculously large sound system. interesting hook.
the UGK song is nice. he was featured on their album as well.
hasn't this album been released already? its all over the net.

have never heard a dizee rascal song, whats a good joint to check out

battlecatmeowstab212 · Fri Jan 25, 2008 7:57 pm

Save for "Fix Up Look Sharp," I HATED his first album, and the grime scene as a whole.

That being said, the Def Jux-cosign is enough for me to give this album a listen.

Dizzee is that dude. Can't wait til I hear this.

battlecatmeowstab212 · Fri Jan 25, 2008 11:26 pm

I really liked "Sirens," but nothing else from this album that was posted. Still, I'm curious to hear UGK over an El-P beat.

I Luv U is that jam.

Boy in da corner is an amazing record, and the production scared the crap out of me when I first heard it. Some of the beats make me want to punch people in the face.

So Def Jux is going to be able to push his record better than who ever's been pushin it thus far?

LONDON · Post by **LONDON** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 9:49 am

Its good to see that Def Jux are trying to help the UK an bus though some artists from over here over your sides of things, break the barriers so that artists from the roads over here can make them real p's you know, its a big market over there an shit you know, big up Def Jux for that,

Its just I feel like there picking the wrong artist to do this wit, an I always believe in promoting, you should say shit to people's face, not on no stupid little geeky, internet boards, I ain't a gangsta or a badman or anything like that, truss me on that, I'm a average brare(guy) out here, I'm a average nobody like, truss me, I don't need to front, its just I know I would say this shit to his face an plus most importantly, I don't want anyone wasting there hard earned money on no fucking wasteman.

Dizzee Rascal is a sell out, fucking shook, little pussyhole, everyone out here on the roads knows this, truss me on that, labels need to get behind real artists for real, that have lived what they chat on records an represent it at least on some level, on both sides of the atlantic, true fucking stories

The album was never released in North America, it was only out in Europe. It's nearly impossible to find in stores over here.

Dizzee needs to speed up his flow - why is he rapping so slowly. We could understand what you were saying before!

Still, 'I Luv U' is a defining moment of the decade, so this guy deserves to sell a shitload of records.
