Old Skool
I'm loving Maths & English by Dizzee Rascal at the moment.I was a big fan of Boy In Da Corner, but wasn't particularly impressed by Showtime I think Maths & English is a return to form, and both of the singles released to date - "Sirens" and "Pussyole (Old Skool)"; - are crackers. Dizzee has a deft turn of phrase and is about the only UK rapper that I can listen to these days. "Old Skool" has that great James Brown "whoo yeah" sample from "Think" by Lyn Collins, which you can't go wrong with. It's actually a toned down version of the song "Pussyole" off the album -- a song apparentlyl telling the story of Dizzee's falling out with Wiley, who abandoned Dizzee when he had been stabbed. "Last one swinging, first one running...".
