Has anyone heard the British hip-hop/rap group named The Streets? I got into them not so long ago and I must say they are one of the freshest sounding groups i have heard in a long time.

YzermanS19 · 08-30-2003, 03:08 PM

On the advice of a friend I downloaded a few songs from them.

They are quite unique, but I haven't quite got into them yet. Its not bad music, just different to what I'm used to.

Word....a little too weird for me. If you like them you'd prolly like Aussie hip-hop as well. Same shit ya know....accents n what not. I heard Push Things Foward...and it's not so bad that I have to change the channel...but it's also not so good that I gotta go out and buy their CD either.

Asta!!

At first I wasn't sure about them.. but the more I listened.. the more I liked.. I'm a fan.

coke babies · 08-30-2003, 06:53 PM

I absolutely LOVE that album. I listen to it at least a couple times a week.

THey fucking rule, Hes such a geezer.
I read that at a gig in new yourk he poured beer all over the crowd & they didnt like it much!

good stuff...this guy (Mike Skinner, I think) recorded it in his brixton flat and hit it big....

I really dig the streets.

Thank God some of you listen to The Streets. Stay Positive is one of the most hardcore, fucking amazing songs I have ever heard. It's one of my top 10 most influential songs ever.

yeah the streets are good. taking the piss a bit with there name though.
If you like that shit listen to mud fam.

The Streets is just one guy (Mike Skinner) who produced it all himself in his apartment in england. If you like him another awesome british rapper is Dizzee Rascal ... crazy accent as well :P

YaWhateva · 09-03-2003, 05:39 AM

cool i will check those people out.

saut · 09-03-2003, 09:57 AM

Downloaded a few of the songs and I like em. It's a different sound and the lyrics are occasionally very funny.

stinkynutz · 09-03-2003, 02:03 PM

A friend of mine got me into them. I only got several of their songs. Pretty dam good, imo.
