I've only heard one Dizzy Rascal album but honestly I could never really get past his flow.

so i finally bought untrue after wasting my money on burial's boring first album. untrue at least has a couple songs that are, no doubt about it, the shit.

HOWEVER, charles' praise is overkill.

dizzee is the shit. sirens is an amazing video.

Dizzee Rascal is one of the most brilliant and unique MCs of all-time, and his live presence is jaw-dropping, even if Maths + English, an album that's a year old, is dead weight.

To use him as another reason to prop up dubstep is odd, too. Which is a genre that's already in self-admitted mid-life crisis -- the sound of transition, not the future.

All fair and good points, Charles, but one thing remains: "Fix Up, Look Sharp" is THE JAM.

i read an interview with dizzee where he claimed to self-produce all the sounds on his first album, despite the fact 'fix up, look sharp' (yes, the jam) is obviously a sample of billy squier.

kano > dizzee rascal. all day, every day.

kano's album output is pitiful, but i'm still feeling his stop gap, unattainable white labels that pop up on uk record sites every so often. even though it came out two or so years ago, 'gansterz' was included on the latest dj yoda mix for fabric and it's STILL fire.

the mitchell brothers need to get out from under mike skinner's wing. they seemingly get the throw away beats from the streets and still shine on them.
