Non-Urban Music Dizzee Rascal

[Stred]

Does anyone actually rate this dude as a rapper?

I haven't heard a lot of his songs but "Bonkers" is a awesome club track

I rate him, not as a top rapper but his albums are listenable. Bonkers is a good track, but I prefer his older stuff.

 

[S O F I]

yeah is that the track with techno-ish beat? it's tight

 

[Stred]

^ yahuh. the Grovedale hoodrats go crazy for it

 

[Bobby Sands]

the other song was pretty good as well. Dance Wit Me was it?

he is decent. has been around for a while now.

Bonkers is the song of the summer so far, gonna be big in Ibiza.

/\ agreed, Bonkers is killing it.

It's funny because Semtex was bigging it up for a few months before anyone even heard it (obviously cos he's Dizzee's tour DJ and whatnot).

I was almost sick of hearing ABOUT it, them BAM, it hits and I was fucking impressed. I understood why Sem was wilding out about it for so long.

I didn't know before I heard it that it was produced by Armand Van Helden though. I've been a fan of his music since the late 90's, so if I had known beforehand I would have predicted that it would be a sick track. I remember buying his singles of "You Don't Know Me" and his remix of "Professional Widow" back when they came out.

Any links to some of his older songs?

Another great Dizzee song is 'Flex', the Dave Spoon remix is class.

 

[Casey]

I dont see how you can like that 'dance with me track' either, its fucking awful.

I rate Calvin Harris, but that track is pure cheese.

I rate Calvin Harris, but that track is pure cheese.

Thats what it was intended to be though, it got both of them recongised by people who normally wouldn't have given their music a chance.

Calvin Harris is pretty cool, something slightly different in the electronic scene.

dizzy's first single was called 'think sharp, look sharp', his new song playing on the radio now a lot is called 'holiday', it's a good track too
