Boy In Da Corner

Not a fan

I know almost nothing about grime as a genre, so I didn't really know what to expect, but I am very positively surprised. Creative, incredibly fun beats, paired with some very unique flow. It does overstay its welcome by just a bit, though. Favourite track: Fix Up, Look Sharp

More rapping about girls and guns but with a different accent. Ok, it's slightly more interesting than that in the production but it hasn't aged that well.

Música de autista que escucha mago de oz y también rap

Producción impecable.

its not the artists fault but I really hate this genre. I'm giving up halfway through. whether its 1 star or 2 depends on if I get through it by tomorrow.

HE'S JUS' A RASCAL, HE'S JUS' A RASCAL, HE'S JUS' A RASCAL, DIZZEE RASCAL Cracks me up every time. I didn't mind this. Took a couple of goes to get myself in the right mood for it, but definitely some worthwhile stuff on here. Not my bag, but good quality nonetheless. Grime is a tricky genre and Mr. Rascal does it well. If you like this kind of music, you should probably listen to the song "Selekta" by Kyle Gordon feat. Albie Wobble, Trixie B & SIDEQUEST, and if you hate this kind of music you should DEFINITELY listen to it. (It's comedy, trust me) Genuinely, I didn't hate this. It won't go into my regular rotation, and I wouldn't seek it out often... but the odd song here or there would be fine.

Don't like

Really? Bad hip hop meets bad electronica. Definitively not for me. I added “Hold Ya Mouf” to my Generator playlist. It was the shortest track.

Interesting work here. I didn’t particularly like it, but it is very important to grime and the fabric of UK music in general.

English rap. Not too bad, backing music was interesting.

Absolutely not my style.

Wasn't into this at all. Especially for nearly a fully hour. Weakest track is the hit "Fix Up, Look Sharp" which turns back the clock on hip-hop but in a really boring way.

Bom. Não é meu estilo de música, mas tem uma boa qualidade.

This has to be a joke

No. 1/5

Too repetitive and electronic for me. I almost liked the 4th cut "Brand New Day" but not enough to listen to it again.

I thought the opening track was really unique and interesting. The samples and beats on the album are interesting and varied. I liked that the lyrics were the focus and sat audibly above the beat. Overall didn’t enjoy but respect it for what it is.

Not the biggest grime fan, but it has its moments ⭐⭐⭐

He’s so British to the point where I didn’t even realize he was rapping in English until track 4.

Bruv what is this madness ?? 😭😭😭😭 The Godfather of Yuno Miles… also I swear dizzee put a spell on me or something because on the first track I was like “my first 1 star album…” and then at some point I started thinking “This isn’t SO bad. And it’s funny and entertaining, I haven’t been bored a single second” and then I got a little sad that the album was ending bc Bro Dizzee js my friend now he’s so funny and goofy what is he on man. Anyway I thought “I luv u” was the worst track ever when I first heard it but low-key it’s an earworm like the beat is horrendous but oh my god

I’m certainly no fan of Grime and this has done nothing to change my mind on the genre, was very happy for this one to be over and done with.

I remember being very excited by this album when it came out -- it just sounded so *different* from all the other hip hop that was popular at the time. More than 20 years later, this album holds up. Everything about it is so strange, from the beats to the lyrics to the flow.

Didn’t see the appeal.

Liked this.

I wanted to like it. While I can't stand American hip-hop, I have a slightly softer spot for the British variation (particularly The Streets), but alas, I couldn't get into Boy In Da Corner. It sounded cringe to my ears.

Eh. Not my thing.

There were flashes of brilliance here, but sadly they were few and far between. Dizzee Rascal is definitely one of the most talented UK rappers, but the material left a lot to be desired. This album felt long. Songs went on much longer than they needed to and the beats droned on. I was leaning towards giving this 3 stars, but then “Jezebel” came on, and it was so offensive and honestly just bad that it tanked the album at that point and never recovered. I appreciate that this is something different, both for the list and the UK hip hop scene at the time, but overall it’s just not a good album.

The novelty wore off quick and the tracks I did like here were not enough to warrant a repeat listen let alone interest me in revisiting this. Highlights: Jus' a Rascal

A millennial voice that crashed the era.

QUE CAPA LINDA... FAVS (top 3): i luv u, round we go, jus' a rascal mençoes honrosas: fix up, look sharp; wot u on?; seems 2 be; eh gente... que album é esse... hypei mt pela capa KKKKKKKKKKKKK muito repetitivo as musicas, boas batidas, o background é bom, mas a letra repetitiva nao combina de jeito nenhum, gastaram toda a verba de fazer algo bom tudo na capa to achando! acho q pra epoca (2003) deve ter sido revolucionariossasso mas agora em 2026 é um album bem comum; no final ficou mais legal ngl nota final: 2.5/5

Most annoying fucking use of loop pedal and sampling ive heard

I appreciate how different this sounds and I am sure it was considered a very unique at the time. The idea of using dance beats for rap songs is also pretty cool which is way ahead of its time. At the same time I hate it.

3.5 this was pretty good i really enjoyed it

Absolutely dreadful. I already can’t take British hip hop seriously. These beats were whack, all over the place. The “rapping” was a joke.

Boy in da Corner is the debut studio album by English rapper and producer Dizzee Rascal. It was first released on 21 July 2003 by XL Recordings in the United Kingdom before being released the following year in the United States. A widespread critical success, Boy in da Corner became one of the most acclaimed records of 2003 and went on to win the Mercury Prize for best album from the UK and Ireland. It also peaked at number 23 on the British albums chart and sold over 250,000 copies worldwide by 2004. With the album's success, Dizzee Rascal gave mainstream exposure to grime music while becoming the UK's first internationally recognised emcee. Boy in da Corner received widespread acclaim from critics. At Metacritic, the album received an aggregate score of 92 out of 100, based on 28 reviews. NME called it "one of the most assured debut albums of the last five years". Entertainment Weekly stated that, "Combining U.K. garage beats and a distinctly British sensibility, Rascal spits out phrases with the energy and finesse of a championship boxer". Rolling Stone wrote, "If you want a vision of the future of hip-hop and techno, get this record"

From the Vault #5 (February 21, 2026) The end of the hip-hop desert I've been crawling through is closer than expected. I've just counted my remaining hip-hop albums and I have 17 to go. Once I escape these dunes, I'll likely never have to listen to another one of these again. Feels good. I've, predictably, never heard of this album or artist before, and I'm not sure what to expect going off of the cover. Probably another pseudo-humble, grandiose album similar to that of Jay-Z and The Notorious B.I.G. Here goes. Oh, God. It's a British rap album. The whole aesthetic of UK Hip-Hop and the general roadman subculture depresses the hell out of me. To think that England was once romanticised as the high point of human culture and achievement. I really didn't jive with this one. The songwriting and instrumentals all revolve around the cockney accent of Dizzee Rascal, which is the most aggravating shit in the world to me. The vocals are aggressively airheaded and guttural, which makes me want to reach down this guy's throat, pull out his voice box and spend a night repairing it in the lab. The instrumentals were admittedly competent at first. There's a decent level of variety and some of the creative decisions worked. I particularly liked the strange, jangling sounds on "Brand New Day". However, the album quickly becomes oversaturated with the same, repetitious treble-y electronic tones, which I'm less enthusiastic about. This change in direction results in the second half of this album sounding noticeably flat, one-dimensional and lethargic. Overall, yeah, I kind of hated this one. Book time. Pioneered grime. Sold well despite having a noncommercial sound. A wide range of influences. Sounds alien. Won the 2003 Mercury Prize. Wikipedia says that this album was "...one of the most acclaimed records of 2003...", was a hit with critics and has received enduring praise for having an ongoing influence in grime as well as a generally timeless sound. I'm normally in favour of the list including niche and unconventional picks, but I'm not so sure about this one. Grime, trap, drill and all of the phenomenally shitty hip-hop offshoots that were popularised in the 2010s are creatively bankrupt to me. Of course, that's me talking as a hip-hop non-fan, and I suppose a similar comment can be made about butt rock albums and other commercialised forms of rock, but at least those albums don't offend my sensibilities and are backed by chart success. Yeah, fuck this album. I'm not feeling charitable today. In place of this album, I humbly submit "We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service" by A Tribe Called Quest for inclusion on the list (granted, I haven't listened to it, but I recall hearing it was good and I think they've earned a third list album).

This album actually slaps and I think it needs more than the 1 listen I gave it

Brilliant.

Found it a bit monotonous - had enjoyed the album with bonkers on, but this did little for me

Got somewhat better as it went along. 2.5

Album 1071 of 1089 Boy In Da Corner - Dizzee Rascal (2003) Rating : 2 / 5 This album is supposedly considered a landmark in the UK grime scene and has had a big influence on British hip-hop and electronic music that followed. It’s raw, energetic, and very much rooted in the streets and culture it came from. One thing that immediately stood out to me was simply hearing rap delivered with a strong British accent. That was a new experience for my ears. I’m so used to American hip-hop rhythms and vocal delivery that the accent and phrasing here felt very different. Not bad but just different. It definitely gives the album its own identity. Musically, the production is pretty stripped down and gritty. The beats feel sharp and electronic, almost industrial at times, which fits the aggressive delivery. That said, this one was a little harder for me to connect with personally. British rap just doesn’t quite hit a chord with me the same way other styles do. Between the vocal delivery, the accent, and the style of the beats, it kept me at a bit of a distance as a listener. But one of the things I’ve enjoyed about this 1001 Albums journey is hearing music that comes from completely different scenes and cultures. Even when something isn’t totally in my wheelhouse, it’s interesting to hear how those musical worlds sound and what made them important. This one may not have fully landed for me, but it was definitely a unique listen.

No. 1.2

This album was bad from the very first song. By the half way point I didn't even bother skipping songs and gave up on it altogether.

Started out as a 1, slowly got to 2 as I got used to this style. The mixing is a little weird in my earbuds, but I respect the effort put into these beats. Gonna file this under not for me.

I can dig. As far as pop instrumental music goes, I'd say this is pretty good.

Niet mijn ding

The beats within each song was pretty repetitive but overall the album grew in me.

I’m not expecting anything going into this. I’ve heard of Dizzee Rascal, and I know he’s a rapper. This is his debut album, and the genre is grime, which is rap over electronic dance music that originated in the United Kingdom. Dizzee Rascal is kind of the first of the grime rappers to really break out. This album was huge in the UK and was named the best album of 2003 in the UK and Ireland. Not sure I’ll go track by track as I have lately. I will say, so far, the electronic dance music isn’t bad, but we’ve come almost 15 years since the KLF. Dizzee isn’t a bad rapper, but his English accent and English slang can be tricky. Track 3, I Luv U, was the first single off the album. Dizzee produced this single at the age of 16. It was a top 30 hit in the UK and probably his most popular song. I’m not really getting into this so much. I guess I’m just set in my ways. I gave up on hip-hop many years ago. The music is a lot of computer noises that isn’t altogether bad, but it’s a lot of pounding in the old earholes. This album makes me think of the movie Attack the Block. It’s set in the UK, in the projects, as aliens invade and the tenants of the project have to fight them off. It’s such a fun, exciting movie with a lot of heart. I’d probably recommend watching that more than listening to this, but I’m just four songs in, maybe this will get better. Track 6, Fix Up, Look Sharp, starts off with the drum beat from John Cougar Mellencamp’s Jack and Diane. No, I’m wrong, it samples the beat and vocals from a Bill Squier song called, The Big Beat. I recognized Squier’s voice, but not sure I’ve ever heard the song. Fix Up, Look Sharp was released as a single and got to 17 on the UK charts. This song is very old school. I love it, but it may be because of nostalgia. So far, this album is just there for me. Nothing that makes me stand up and take notice…well, except for this song. Track 10 is Jus’ A Rascal, and it’s an old school rap song about who Dizzee Rascal is. You know, how all the rappers had a song boasting about how they’re the coolest, baddest dude on the block. That was a fun song. The first song since Fix Up, Look Sharp that made me stop and take notice. And, no surprise, it was a single off the album. So far, the singles have been the best songs on the album. Whoever picked them to be the singles did a great job. I’m sure hip-hop fans love this album, and I’d recommend it to hip-hop fans. Dizzee Rascal can rap, and the beats are worlds better than what was being produced ten years before. However, this album just wasn’t for me. I think it has historical qualifications, and that plays a part in it being a must-listen. But, I think most could skip it and not be lesser for it. Though if you’re a hip-hop fan, I’d highly recommend it.

njae

I bused to like his music when I was younger. Now I can’t stand it anymore. Maybe that’s growing up?

Decent 3

The music itself was very cool, but I was not especially fond of the rapping. I did enjoy though, will definitely come back to it

Is this album as good as Wiley, Ghetts, Kano, even Bizzle? To stand against the best of grime this album needs to offer something. To be so critically lauded for what is quite a mediocre album with 2 good singles simply because this was the first time anyone had seen grime in the mainstream was a mistake. Im more of a UKHH head so I struggle with an implicit bias against grime, but this album is not the one to bring to a fight.

I very much enjoyed this debut album from Rascal! I haven’t listened to much British rap/grime music so this album was very exciting to listen to and I had a great time with it. Overall, I dug this album listen and I would definitely listen to this album again!

I couldn't tell you anything about what grime is or why this album just works for me, but it does. I love that dirty, lo-fi type of electronic beat, I guess? I didn't even care that it was almost an hour long!

Takes me back to my youf

The British rap flow always felt a bit clunky to me. But this was alright.

The British grime scene managed to differentiate itself from the american counterpart with this record. Not all the songs work as well and the raps aren't fully refined but it features a diversified enough array of themes and experimental sounds. Rascal would go on to inspire Bob Vylan, one of my favorite artists. So if you wish to see this kind of music evolved with more punk and politically conscious elements I recommend you give them a listen too.

wouldn't listen to the whole album often, but the good tracks are already on my playlist.

bello, diverso dal solito

An album I totally missed at the time, but very solid throughout. Favourite track: Stop Dat

Big-time hiphop fan. Hated it

Now, I can appreciate that this kid could rap, but I don't see why I would have to listen to his repetitive "one sample per song" style for an entire album. Some songs even have the same drum'n'bass base in them...interesting for 2 minutes, then a sound sleep comes in.

This is realllyyyyy not up my alley. I can appreciate the passion and the energy and as another review said, this really isn't hip hop - it's something else and much more dance beat based. That being said, I am so far removed from any of the subject matter it's like seeing an exhibit at a museum. Kind of a tough listen honestly.

What is that?

You get a lot of words for your buck - and not one of those is the 'n' word This is surprisingly listenable, although gets a bit repetitive and is a tad too long (a side effect of being made for CD release). But it makes a nice change to hear hiphop/rap/grime (or whatever you want to call this particular flavour of talking on top of music) without endless profanities and offence. 2½

noup

Stand-out tracks: I Luv U, Fix Up, Look Sharp, Hold Ya Mouf, Jezebel Really not my type of album. A few tracks save it from going on my worst albums list unfortunately. Rap is really hit or miss for me and this one is truly a miss. Tracks like Brand New Day and 2 Far use ear numbing clips that keep repeating throughout the song and make those honestly unlistenable at times. Other tracks are either good enough because of the beats or just not my thing. Most of the lyrics are also quite dull and just explicit nonsense. The only track I feel like tries to be a bit more serious thematically is the closer.

Highlights: Stop Dat, I Luv U, Brand New Day, 2 Far, Fix Up Look Sharp, Hold Ya Mouf, Round We Go, Jus' a Rascal, Seems 2 Be, Live O God damn, this was fresh! I'm not that deep into grime so this was new to me, but it's dope. His technical ability is top notch, and the production is also great and just so original and timeless. It's 20 years old but still sounds fresh af. Banger after banger. Truly an unexpected gem. Production kinda sounds similar to later alternative hip hop like Danny Brown because of the constant use of distortion (the vocal style is pretty close too). Songs do get kiiiinda samey when I think about it for a bit, but I liked the style. It stands out from the grime I've heard so far precisely because of the beats. Lyrically it's full of social commentary and criticism which was interesting. The rapper also plays this gangsta figure as well but I didn't find him to be very convincing because of his funny vocal style (combination of voice and London slang). Overall very dope, no issues with the record.

5⭐️/5 02.21.2026

Would have preferred Dizzy by Vic Reeves

What the hell did I just listen to? It was harsh and frantic. Gave me a headache. It took everything for me not to turn off.

These beats are awesome. I bet the instrumental version is solid. But I didn't enjoy the rapping by this dude at all. No flow, no style, super generic. If this dude made his own beats, I hope he just kept doing that

This is a weird one. I enjoy Dizzee's rap game, his flow, accent and inflection are really interesting. But the frantic, chopped and off-kilter drum patterns is anxiety inducing at 5am. Even though this isn't my bag I think it's good, it's difficult to be new and original in an oversaturated genre. Extra stars for the reviewers that used words I had to look up. Knowledge is power.

Like the beats.

Парадокс Слушать это невозможно. Но из этого дерьма в итоге выросли цветы (грайм) И как теперь относится к этому?

I must say… freaking awesome

one of the coolest albums ever!! it's so formed and amazing, crazy he wrote a bunch of these songs as a teenager... what the heck

Grime might not be my new thing.

The worst, most annoying rap album I've ever heard, and I feel confident in saying that

Sittin' Here 2.7 Stop Dat 1.7 I Luv U 1 Brand New Day 1.3 2 Far 0.5 Fix Up, Look Sharp 2 Cut 'Em Off 1.5 Hold Ya Mouf 1.4 Round We Go 1.1 Jus' a Rascal 2 Wot U On? 1.4 Jezebel 1 Seems 2 Be 0.6 Live O 1.2 Do It! 1.7 Score: 1.406666667

Never heard of grime as a genre before today and I wish I hadn’t. Not really sure what is going on or why someone would enjoy this. Definitely not for me. Got about 5-6 songs into this and stopped. 1/5

Was definitely my introduction to grime back in the day still a great album.

I've seen Mr Rascal in a few UK TV programmes, he seems like a very nice chap with a good sense of humour ( for my American friends, that is the correct spelling of humour ). This sense of fun obviously leaks over into his musical offerings, to present this absolute shite as music suggests a deep sense of irony. Well done. And then to make it nearly an hour long, absolutely hilarious. One star for the joke.

I found this quite hit and miss really, but the hits did work for me. Dizzee Rascal is a talented dude. Favourites: I Luv U 2 Far Fix Up, Look Sharp

Rap crap Nothing special Fast forward every song Strike out

Saved? ❌ Would listen again? ❌ Would recommend to anyone? 🤔 Would buy on Vinyl? 🤔

1/10 Yea nah this shit was ass. The beats are decent but overall this shit ain’t it.

My first experience with grime. It's definitely something, when the first song was going I thought it wasn't too aggressive, then the next song turned the aggressiveness up like 20 notches. I wasn't too receptive to it within the first couple tracks, but gradually the aggressive production started to grow on me. The rapping was quite well done. This was one of those albums that is between a 3 and 4, if there were half stars, this would be easy 3.5/5.0. But alas there isn't so I'll round up to 4.0 as I feel it's more accurate than a 3. Highlight Song/s: "Sittin Here" and "2 Far"

2/12/26. It was something different at least. 5.5/10

Not the vibe… 1.5

Cool but soo tiring and longggg

Hard pass

Right now I really envy deaf people. Zero stars.

not for me

Beans, right, innit?

Tragiški beat'ai. Nuoširdžiai blogi. Tekstas gal ir geras. Ir nieko čia nėra rasistiško, žinau dizee rascal, mam patinka jo muzika, bet šitas albumas blogas.

Impressive throughout. I really like his delivery. Not really my style but I respect this being included in the 1001

Couple good song but it's not great. I don't even think it's a particularly good example of grime.

It was alright I guess. I wasn't a fan of it but he has some talent. I think the weird electronica mix he was over is what killed it for me. I think I will listen to it later with the lyrics up and see if I like it more that way.

unlike most British rap, this manages to not only not be downright embarrassing, but actually fairly enjoyable! there are some weird, cool, inventive beats on display here, especially considering it came out smack in the middle of the worst (in my opinion) era for beats. the flow is pretty angular in a way that doesn't work great for me but i think it's at least partly intentional, and partly just what it sounds like when an english person tries to rap (Little Simz being maybe the only english rapper with a voice/flow that's actually pleasant to listen to). overall it's pretty good and much better than what i typically expect from British rappers, although it does have some pretty bad low points, particularly the one-two punch of Round We Go and Jus' A Rascal, which are two of the most absolutely horrendous songs I've heard in a while

Some of the beats were cool. I guess I’m not a grime fan cause mostly I found this not great. Some songs were decent but a lot of it was annoying.

Really need to do some reading on this topic. Not a 1,001 album ever created in my humble opinion.

Interesting, but not subverting that resonated with me. It feels proto glitch, even maybe its own sound altogether, but it’s not the sound for me. I like off kilter songs but this one isn’t so great

There were a few tunes that were alright, but this ain't my jam.

A bit too raw and chaotic for me

Okay then. Once more out of my comfort zone. Skittering beats that seem to be on the verge of falling apart under a UK rapper. Held my interest.

Not bad, not my favorite. There’s a lot going on in the background and it sometimes distracts from the tracks. Notable tracks include Sittin’ Here, Fix Up Look Sharp, Jezebel.

This is definitely the sort of album that makes me particularly appreciative of committing to three-plus years of random music selections. I don't think I'd ever heard anything from this album (maybe "Fix up, look sharp"? but probably that's just because it borrows from Billy Quier's "The big beat", I suppose), and certainly never heard of "grime" as a music genre, nor any of the esoteric rabbit holes I followed from the Wikipedia entry for the album (Jamaican sound-systems, Windrush Generation in London, etc.). It's probably not an album I'd listen to frequently, I'll admit, but I'm really impressed that this is a debut album, and largely a one-person production, and that it managed to win the Mercury Prize despite falling *very* far from any mainstream music tradition. This felt so much like the soundtrack to some dystopian cyberpunk vision of the near future.

not enough variety, not enough musical interest for me

Nicht schlechter Rap.

I could never take Dizzee seriously. Maybe it was because of hearing Beardyman recreating spot-on impressions of him, morphing into chicken noises. "Fix up, look sharp / bok bok, Bok BWOK". But really, Beardyman was just validating my own opinions of Dizzee. To be fair, I'm very much not into grime, or Dizzee's brand of hip hop. I do respect that he made some of this music by himself as a teenager, but everything on this album has that same teenage energy - it feels quite vapid. Lyrically it feels quite juvenile, with themes of boastfulness and bravado, and not much else. And musically, it's not my scene at all. I didn't really connect with any of the songs, and I did find it quite a slog to get through an hour of this. But, to be fair, I did like the most famous song on the album "Fix Up, Look Sharp". Probably because it doesn't really sound like anything else on the record. With a huge Bonham-esque beat, that unmistakable chicken bwak rhythmic intonation, and some interesting structure and melody, it's a good tune. But ultimately, everything feels a bit empty. Scroobius Pip used Dizzee's beat and melody to make a point in the song "Fixed", an interpolation of "Fix Up, Look Sharp". His lyrics echo my feelings towards this album: "Hip hop is art / Don't make another pop hit, be smart... / All a lot of shit with profit in mind, not heart / Prancing about like they're the next big thing / 'Cause their cousins got an eight track and their mate Darryl can sing". After finally getting through "Boy In Da Corner", I still can't take Dizzee seriously. That Beardyman can parody Dizzee simply by repeating his lyrics word-for-word in a deliberately formal English accent says everything: strip away the beats and bravado, and there isn't much substance left.

Great mellow rap/beats, some Jay-Z vibes, very enjoyable

Loved this album back when I discovered it online in the mid-2000s. 20 years or so later and it still bangs.

I enjoyed a good bit of this, interesting beats

stay in the corner

Reminds me of Danny Brown. Decent Bri'ish rap 3.5

not at all my vibe

It was not terrible, but not memorable either. Am I going to listen to it again? nope, was it unlistenable? nope. 2.5 stars

Being from the south bronx Igrew up & love hip hop. But I have to admit that this the first I've heard of this artist. Maybe because at the release of this album I was on my own musical ventures. This album is really good. His flow definitely His own thing. The beats are great. My only complain is that in some tracks the music takes over & the MC gets lost in the mix. I read up on this album & it has review. Considered the best British rap album. I'll definitely will be giving this & his over album more listens.

I think I like Grime music more as a concept than when listening to it, it had a couple of catchy tracks and I dig the beat production. I just can't take British rap, sounds like they're trying to rap with something in their mouths.

"Ahead of its time" insofar that it resembles modern UK rap, mediocre insofar that it resembles modern UK rap. But that's just these humble ears; fans of the British hip hop can fully relish!

I liked the album. This is my first approach to this musical genre, and I like it. I also like that the guy doesn't invent everything he says about having a difficult life like so many other artists. (stupid fact: this music always reminds me of GTA: San Andreas, that's how uneducated I am)

Why do I need to listen to this before I die? Maybe it's just me - BUT I don't find this an enjoyable listening experience at all. One surprise - in the song "Fix Up, Look Sharp" - he heavily samples a Billy Squire song called "The Big Beat" from 1980 - both the drum beat and some of Billy's vocals. It's basically the only listenable song on the album for this reason. "Jus' a Rascal" is probably the 2nd most listenable song. It actually looks like those are the 2 most popular songs on this album - makes sense. In the 1830's in Denmark, a tale was written about a king who pretended to have beautiful clothes but he was actually naked. All the people didn't want to mention he was naked - for fear of seeming foolish. But then one kid spoke up and shouted that the king wasn't wearing any clothes. In my opinion, this album is like that- only 160+ years later. Liked songs on Spotify: 0/15 Rating: 1/5 (should be zero)

actually bad

Fire beats

58/100. As an early grime record, you can really hear its foundations being laid here. The delivery is strong and confident and Dizzee’s presence is undeniable. Grime is a genre I’ve enjoyed at different points in my life and I honestly think I would’ve enjoyed this project a lot more if I’d heard it when I was younger.

Not really my thing, but I get it

Boy in Da Corner sounds like music to get lobotomized to. It's annoying, extremely repetitive, and barely even passes as music. To top it off, I can't hardly even understand what he's saying over the racket. Seeing that the genre it's considered "grime" music, I assumed it would be some sort of grungy lo-fi hip-hop or something, not this weird amalgamation of rap and abstract electronic sounds. If this "sounds like the future" like I keep seeing people say, then I couldn't care less for it. I try to find redeeming factors in albums, even ones I dislike, but I can't find anything in this one. It's a lost cause. Boy in Da Corner has the honor of being my first 1 star rating, I don't know how I made it through the whole thing. Favorite Song: None

Got tired of this pretty quickly.. probs won't be returning to it.

I fully admit I am no fan of hip hop but this is particularly cacophonous. No hyperbole, I would lose my mind of I was locked in a room with this.

SQUIER!! I didn't know anyone actually sampled the vocals on The Big Beat, the most-sampled rock song ever, which is funding Billy Squier's retirement in the Hamptons. My father would have been endlessly amused that there are musical subgenres called grime and grunge and they have nothing to do with each other. I know nothing about British hiphop but I think this is pretty good. 3.5

2000s hiop hop, grime. Made grime mainstream. Interesting samples, cool edge. Very distinct. Some tracks are kind of abbrasive. Struggle with the complete lack of melody.

I love the British take on rap but this isn't a repeat listen for me.

I don't even know. I tried to like it, but it was really long, the lyrics were mostly laughable, and it was often irritating to listen to. There were moments that I didn't mind. I think "Fix Up, Look Sharp" was decent. But I mostly didn't like this album.

This was an interesting blend of rap and techno (and let's be honest, a london accent rapping doesn't hurt for an anglophile like me). Still, not something that resonated deeply for me so I don't see myself listening to it much, but I appreciate what it brings to the table.

This isn’t hip hop

I liked this one. It wasn't quite sticking at first, but it's endearing overall and worth a star more than my initial feeling.

Better than I remember it

Hm

It's refreshing to hear rappers from different countries!

To my ears it just sounds like American gangsta rap that is filtered through East London; a hypothesis which seems to be borne out by the American Nike trainers Mr. Rascal is wearing on the album cover. I've never been a fan of gangsta rap, so it is really not my thing. Having said that I appreciate that Dizzee Rascal did not include the stupid skits that most hip hop albums from America were doing all through the 90s and into the early 2000s. On the other hand, he still went and made an album that is way too long at 56 minutes. Nice Billy Squire sample in "Fix Up, Look Sharp", but that is the only thing that makes that track bop. I would prefer more internal and less external lyrics.

The music had no rhythm, and that made this dude's voice even more obnoxious.

Flatten this Rascal That Danny Brown/Jpegmafia album from a few years back feels like the perfected version of this album.

I find British hip-hop/wrap to be incredibly grating, even when they are talented.

Grime genre doesn't work for me. No sound all lyrics.

Not my usual, but liked the British vibes.

i respect this as a record but unfortunately grime just isn't my thing

Dizzee Rascal appears to be a UK-Drill rapper, which is a genre of music I have little exposure to. Unfortunately, I wasn't grabbed by the music and I wasn't able to connect with his lyrics, but I can certainly acknowledge that that disconnect could just be attributed to my lack of context and intimacy with UK culture.

I'm a big rap fan, but this ain't it. The music and the vocals distract from one another instead of flowing together. Listening to this hurt my brain.

Thought this has held up reasonably well. I dont think I'll ever sit through a full double album of grime but can see why this cut through to the mainstream at the time. Probably a 3 for me

6.5/10

No era para mi hace más de 20 años y ahora sigue sin serlo.

Really enjoy a lot of this album but some songs are a very uncomfortable listen.

A harsh 3 but a 3 nonetheless

I’m not familiar with grime so it’s hard for me to judge, but I did not enjoy this. Many of the beats sound like someone played random sounds on a drum machine and cheap keyboard and just went with it. The vocals are sometimes hard to understand and I’m not a big fan of his delivery - it’s often overly shouty. The rhythms are decent, but everything is secondary to the lyrics, which are alternately too difficult to understand or not that interesting to me. Not an essential album at all, except maybe to those into this particular style. This may have been pioneering in its own way, but that doesn’t make it good.

Intriguing to see where now famous artist debuted, pioneering a new genre. Truly unique for the time, not my cup of tea

Grime ahead of its time, but not very refined. Listening is exhausting, bordering painful. For choosing those beats, Dizzie rightly belongs in the corner. Could have seen this working if the tracks were either full speed in your face, or chill head-nodders, but they're all just lost somewhere between.

Like some of the tracks but overall there are some awful parts of this album, and much better grime albums out there

thought i'd like this more but just not feeling it. some of the music's ok, i really am not crazy about the vocals

This I actually enjoyed.

I remember this voice from "Bonkers" (not on this album though). This genre is called "grime". (British?) Rap with electronic sounds.

This album was not good. If this is the best rap that Britain has to offer then no wonder rap is not a British export.

Who thought British rap was a good thing

The beats were at least creative and different sounding. His delivery though is so spastic and I couldn't understand most of what he was saying. It was fine although slightly interesting and I was very glad it didn't have any of the stupid skits that bloat most rap albums.

so he was the UK's 1st international rapper? is that why he's on the list?? apart from that, it's a boring listen. musically it's nothing but loop tracks & sounds. lyrics are boring

No. 344/1001 Sittin' Here 3/5 Stop Dat 2/5 I Luv U 2/5 Brand New Day 3/5 2 Far 3/5 Fix Up, Look Sharp 2/5 Cut Em' Off 2/5 Hold Ya Mouth 3/5 Round We Go 3/5 Jus' a Rascal 3/5 Wot U On? 3/5 Jezebel 3/5 Seems 2 Be 4/5 Live O 2/5 Do It! 4/5 Average: 2,63 Was quiet surprised to find an early grime album on the list. Was really influential for the genre. It was alright to listen to but has aged a bit.

This is what it would sound like if Big Shaq was serious

What kind of Soundcloud rap is this? Couldn’t even listen to the first three songs without skipping. It’s terrible.

early 2000s british rap right right

each song has a high point and also a low that makes me physically wince . only found one song that i think i would return to for casual listening. that being said some super interesting flows and production so it’s like . i dunno how to feel.

Tricky one to rate. I don’t love grime. I find some of the beats repetitive and some of the sound effects obnoxious. But the highs, like Fix Up Look Sharp, Wot U On and Do It are really good.

Excellent album, I havent listened to much Grime but really enjoyed this.

This was my first exposure to grime, and I fucking loved it.

good for rap, which is not something that i typically listen to!

this falls into the category of 1001 albums never to listen to before I die. not one song i can say i even quasi-liked.

I'm sure there's a lot of talent here and it's great for what it is, but this is my least favorite kind of music.

When I think of "Rap" and/or "Hip Hop" this is the stuff I think of. Not really music in my opinion

Two words “Just Bad”!

Not my favorite 1/10, would give a 0/10

I don't generally comment on album covers, as I don't really care...but this is a particularly good one. This album sounds like it is made by a teenager, just an incredibly talented and confident one. Over a dozen hip hop albums in and I think Beastie Boys and Public Enemy are the only artists I have gotten with comparable energy. I may never listen to another grime album in my life but I am delighted to have heard this one, it is great.

Dafuq was this

Really expected to hate this. Didn't. He's got a decent flow. I'm not sold on the EDM-y production, which is too clubby for me.

Rap? Nein!

Not my type

7/10… grime / uk hip hop / *2007

Interesting

dnf

8 / 10

I could tell from the first 30 seconds of the first song that I was going to hate this. I like hip hop, but this was unremarkable hip hop.

Why couldn’t he keep making albums like this.

I'm torn between loving and hating this. Is it cringy or hard? Is it obnoxious or sonically pleasing? My opinion bounced back and forth as I listened through the tracks. I think if I focus on the dubstep and let the vocals fall into the background I like it. Then it's the opposite of I try to focus on the vocals/lyrics first. I think if this was a 35-40 min album it would get 3 stars but it overstayed its welcome a bit too long.

Fix up, Look Sharp pulling from Billy Squier: respect!

British rap

London rap, fast vocals

Boy in da Corner was my first grime album and I enjoyed it a fair bit! I was on the fence at first, but Dizee Rascal just kept reeling me in with solid flows and unique beats. I was surprised to find several proto-dubstep tracks (such as “Stop Dat,” “I Luv U” and “Seems 2 Be”), many of which could honestly hold their ground next to any number of UK revival tunes being released today. There were a couple of notable stinkers (“Jezebel” certainly hasn’t aged well) and the LP felt slightly bloated, but I’d say most of the tracks that I didn’t consider to be highlights were still perfectly listenable. Overall, Boy in da Corner is a worthy addition to my four star club and just might be one that I look out for at record stores to potentially add to my CD collection! Highlights: Stop Dat, I Luv U, Hold Ya Mouf, Round We Go, Jus’ a Rascal, Wot U On, Seems 2 Be, Live O

Not too bad

He's dizzy, he's a rascal - not much else to say. I probably won't listen to this again

I expected nothing and got something pretty decent. Not sure if I'd want to return to it really often but I liked it

I just really don't get UK Hip-Hop, I guess.

I can't say I would listen to this all day, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Dizzee have a strong delivery and fucked-up beats. It's like a Danny Brown before its time.

First 30 seconds of each song was interesting, then just felt like monotony until the next song.

Bunch of nerds hating this. I love when somebody has a unique take on something. This kid from East London heard hip-hop and just warped it into his own bizarre, regional creation that has spawned a litany of imitators in its wake. I somehow heard "Fix Up Look Sharp" as a little kid, and it had a hold on me. A jumpy, insane beat that immediately appealed to my developing brain. Now, my developed brain hindered by microplastics can appreciate the tracks that dare to delve below the surface, into the "grime" dare I say. Is this juvenile at times? Sure. Is it also pioneering and years ahead of its time? I fully believe it is. It's also just a blast to listen to. Unique voices have always drawn me into records, and Dizzee Rascal's is insane. I love darker, older rap from the east coast of the United States, but this scratched a different itch that I wasn't even aware I had. Fun doesn't begin to describe it. Bonkers. 3.5 HIGHLIGHTS: Sittin' Here, 2 Far, Hold Ya Mouf, Jus' a Rascal

Brit rap

Pretty neat. Definitely dated as all early 2000s rap sounds but the beats are cool and I could see this being really ahead of its time at release. The beats are crisp and though i'm not generally a fan of grime, the fact that this sounds so close to little simz and co is a good sign.

"Fix Up, Look Sharp" - I remember listening to this song way back and never listened to the rest of the album. His voice is annoying in some of the other songs.

Grime is hit or miss for me but I liked this one. Dizzee has always been one of the greats, and this album is really only possible because of the scene in the UK at the time. American hip hop doesn’t really incorporate a bunch of the electronic music stuff in to its beats (or they choose different styles, and would only do it 10+ years later) but you can hear the jungle, garage and drum and bass throughout this. It’s a nice switch up from the usual stuff we hear in the states. Dizzee’s rapping isn’t as good as it would be later but I still like it and the accent alone gets him a long way. His skill would improve later in his career. I liked most of this but I think it carried on a bit too long. It’s good fun and I’m glad this was in this list.

It's not really for me but I was fascinated by it. The low-end is so spare here that I thought there was something wrong with my headphones, yet the music doesn't necessarily lack "oomph" because the rest of the beat is so jagged and the vocal delivery is so passionate. I'd never heard of the grime genre before so I got a little bit of an education in listening to and reading about this album...it was eye-opening for sure, but I probably won't listen again any time soon.

This is not available on Youtube Music.

I tried to approach this album with an open mind, I really did try. But, by Christ, I hated it. Sounded like a teenage boy let loose in a fully equipped music studio. "What does that button do?...Ooooh. Yeah". Gave up before the end., before I lost faith in modern music completely.

Just not my type of music.

I’ve never heard of Dizzee Rascal or this album before, but I’m excited that this will be my last album to review from 2003, which happens to be the year I graduated from high school. I see that this album is considered grime, which is a genre that I’ve never heard of before. After reading about it, it sounds interesting though, so hopefully I’ll enjoy Boy in da Corner. Boy in da Corner wasn’t really my speed. I don’t think it’s a bad album, but I didn’t enjoy listening to it. I think DR did a great job of crafting a dark atmosphere to match the dark tone of his lyrics, but I really didn’t care for the way that this album sounded muted and muffled in its overall sound. Musically, this album was fine, but I wasn’t really into the beats or production work, except on a few occasions. As far as Dizzee’s rapping was concerned, I thought he was fine, but I didn’t find his flow, vocal style, or lyrics to be particularly noteworthy. I thought “Sittin’ Here” was pretty good from a lyrical standpoint, because it gave some good perspective into the world and experiences that Dizzee was rapping about, but those themes were a bit scant throughout the rest of the album. Musically, I thought “Fix Up, Look Sharp” was really good. It had a strong beat, and the Billy Squier sample was excellent. Other than that, there’s not much for me to praise about this album. As a final note, I will say that hearing the P. Diddy reference on “Stop Dat” made me audibly ‘oooh’ like I’d just watched Joe Theisman get his leg snapped by Lawerence Taylor.

Not for me.

Very cool album--a bit too unnecessarily heavy on violence, but the fact these tracks started when he was 14 years old is wild. Has a real knack for planned rhymes and the synth and beats are unlike a lot of rap I've heard. All around dope.

Uwielbiam głos Dizziego, jest niepowtarzalny. Inna jakość w świecie rapu. Chłopak w dużej mierze wprowadził brytyjski rap na salony, jednocześnie będąc pewnie jedną z pierwszych, jeśli nie pierwszą nie-białą gwiazdą muzyki z Wysp. W treści to dosyć typowy debiutancki album - bóle dojrzewania i wchodzenia w dorosłość, dorastanie na marginesie, zmagazynowana złość, pierwsze poważne zawody w relacjach z ludźmi, troska o kasę i przyszłość. To bardzo fajny album, ale mam jakieś opory przed daniem mu czwórki, bo to po prostu nie do końca moja bajka, mimo mojej sympatii do Dizziego. I pewnie nie będę raczej za często słuchał. Solidne 3,5, tho.

Is it groundbreaking? No. But Dizzee Rascal has enough rizz to convince me that 3,5/5 is 4.

Ülimalt põnev kõla. Ma kujutan ette, et sellist Grimes räppi ma väga pikalt ei saa kuulata, aga ühe albumi kaupa oli see päris hea kogemus. Revolutsiooniline saund.

Not that up on my British rap but this was enjoyable.

Just gets more irritating as it goes on, I just don't see what the appeal is here 1.5*

I'm aware of this artist, but haven't ever listened to an album of his. I'm just not feeling this one.

Boyyy, chum us dim corner und zeig dich! Hemmer alli freud! Perfekti fliisarbeit-musig mit motivation boost. Gibi gern vierizzle puntizzles vom Timonizzel

Was ganz neus. Irgendwie 1vibe. Aber au grenzwerttig ahstrengend. Grad au na mit 3 puntitos durecho. Cu

Wow actual good British rap

Not my kind of rap. Couldn’t understand half of what he was saying.

You can see how Dizzee’s lyrical style was the inspiration for many who came after him. But on this album his beats are wildly chaotic that it made several songs difficult to enjoy.

Instrumentals are good. Would be at least four stars if there were no words.

It's okay. I'm not a huge hip hop fan, but I've founds things about the other ones on this list. This one isn't really doing much for me.

Decent listen.

This is like Rap met Trap. Not my thing, but actually I can see it being good for small hype Reels.

Sometimes is better to be deaf...

‘Queen Elizabeth don't know me, so how can she control me, when I live street and she lives neat?’ Wow, a lot of hate here for poor Dizzee Rascal. I’d never heard of him before, but this totally amped up my morning.

2/5. Alkupuoli jepa, sitten pakka hajosi kummallisiin biitteihin, jotka pilasivat paljon.

This is what happens when music manifests into a physical form, gets drunk and falls down stairs. I really tried but made it just under half way. Now cleansing with some Ill Communication.

If you can't find this album fun, then you must have a big 'ol dump in your pants because this is so damn fun Best Song: Jus'a Rascal Rating: 7.5/10 Stars: 4

I’m not averse to a bit of grim but I find the strident hectoring tone of this annoying after a while. A short while. The overall vibe just ain’t it

Yall have fun with your 100th insignificant britpop album I'll be listening to this instead

I enjoyed this one. British hip-hop certainly has its own sound, and it was fascinating to hear one of the early progenitors of that sound. Not all of the tracks hit for me, but I enjoyed the ones that did. The samples are for the most part very sparse and focused on the rhythms, which feel aggressive and choppy.

So much modern UK Rap/Grime etc can be linked to this album and the scen it helped birth. It’s so modern british/dare i say english in such a great way. Remember finding it so interesting when i first heard it, which wouldn’t have been when it actually released but was soon after. A great album. 4.8/5.0 Best Song: Wot U On?

Defined an era, defined a sound. One of the most English sounding albums ever. It’s so good, the beats are all insane and he is well funny. Best track: fix up look sharp

a scoundrel

There are a lot of good rap albums on this list, but this is not one of them. Most of the tracks just did not land for me at all, and the production felt messy in a way that did not help anything. The only thing keeping this from being a one star is “Jezebel.” That track is actually catchy and shows what the album could have been if the rest of it had the same energy. Outside of that one song, though, this just was not it.

WTF is this? It’s not MUSIC.

I surprised myself by actually kind of enjoying this! It's a different sound than what I'm used to in hip hop

Interesting and pretty unique (to my ears at least) but the music is too spare and repetitive. 3.2

Aggressively british

To many E's

Wow, I didn't think I'd like a Grime album but here it is. Hard to believe that Dizzee started recording this album when he was just 15. This project is just full of energy, every song is a hard hitter. Sometimes the songs start out with a gentler sample or beat but there's always a big beat and some quick, almost shouty deliveried verses in there. I really like just how bombastic and energetic it is. This album also sounds way ahead of it's time, 10-15 years later and this sounds seemed to be everywhere. Pleasant surprise. Biggest British rap artist since Slick Rick as well.

Oh no. I've got no issues with the rapping, it's the EDM half of the "grime" sound that's nooooooot working for me. Yeesh.

wtf?

This is the first rap album that has come up for me on this list. It's also the first British rapper I've ever heard. He has quite a different sound than the stateside variety I'm most familiar with. I've also never heard of "grime rock." In other words, I just don't listen to rap. It's not really a go-to genre for me. I do enjoy the some of the beats and I always play "name that tune" when it comes to identifying famous samples. In the case of Dizzee, it was fun to hear Billy Squire rocking out in the middle of this album. I also got a kick out of the 8 bit Atari sounding electronic music and beats. All in all, I'm not a good judge of this style of music. So, rather than rate the album based on its importance or whether it's best of its class. All I can do is rate whether or not I'm likely to give it another listen. I am not.

Kind of like dubstep before dubstep.

Favorite Track: Fix Up, Look Sharp

I thought it was cool, but not really my thing.

Awesome Standout songs: Stop Dat Fix up, look sharp Do it!

Some truly original music full of clockwork synths, bangin' beats and infectious storytelling. If I had one criticism, it's all a bit overwhelming, like it's too much to take in. Take a breath mate!

Quite abbrasive and a bit grumpy still some good tunes like thr sparse brutal soundscapes he creates. He definitly cheered up after this album.

Does this belong on this list? Undoubtedly yes. Do I like it? Mostly. It has some great moments but some parts drag.

Rude boy massive. Enjoyable jangly grime, shame about the misogyny.

I'm sure there is talent here, but this ain't for me! Got annoyed with the background samples/loops, far too repetitive, gave me a headache.

++: I Luv U, 2 Far, Hold Ya Mouf, Jus' a Rascal, Do It! +: Stop Dat, Fix Up, Look Sharp, Round We Go, Seems 2 Be, Live O +-: Sittin' Here, Brand New Day, Cut 'Em Off, Wot U On? -: Jezebel 5,4/10

Pretty solid

Not my thing

Good but british rap is fine

Not sure why this is here.

This was not an amazing record, but I at least get why it was included on the list. The rapping style is cool and the beats had some originality to it. In other words, it wasn't mundane. I liked Fix Up, Look Sharp the best - the sampling of Billy Squier an unexpected twist. Overall good, not great. Worth a listen.

surprising how modern this still sounds for a 22 year old album. good stuff

Vamos hoy martes nuevamente con alguien que desconozco por completo. Se siente un poco más darkie que otros proyectos o músicos del género que han aparecido en éste reto, así que de entrada me llamó más la atención. Sin mucho más para agregar ya que se trata de un género que no me convoca mucho, me despido. Hasta mañana

Stop Dat! No, really... please stop...

Some of the beets were interesting enough. Some of them were irritating. It’s not bad enough for a one, but there was nothing remarkable enough to make this album a “must listen”. This was dumb choice for this list.

This album is covered in what sounds like digital farts disguised as bass lines and warped digital effects. This is shit garbage.

I'm really not sure what is up with British musical tastes. It's completely whack a lot of the time. This album is just straight awful. I really couldn't find anything enjoyable about this in any capacity. I wish I could regain the little part of my life I wasted on this garbage.

Decent but not my style.

Surprisingly good

British black people should not be allowed to act American black. Feels like I am listening to an unironic Politikz. 1/5

This is one of the albums that reminds you that a British person made this list. This album seems to have made no impact outside the UK. This random mumbling is really necessary to listen to? Really? Admittedly I’m not a big rap fan but I can still find stuff to appreciate about it. I couldn’t find anything here

Decent rap album - overall good time

Inte hunnit skriva riktigt men kul val av skiva. Albumet som tog grime från underjorden till listorna. Såg honom på Nef förra våren, makalöst bra. Andra hälften av albumet är bättre än första, anthemet "Jus' a rascal" och "Seems 2 be" är femstjärniga. Dom strippade hårt digitalt processade beatsen låter lite daterade, men det ligger också i sakens natur. Stark trea till Topboy

Jag har inget emot det och Dizee är en bra rappare. Men den här typen av hiphop - grime? - är inte min musik.

Bra driv även om det blir lite tungt med en hel timme grime. Finns inga andningspauser. Trea i de nedre regionerna.

Har inte riktigt tagit mig tid till att lyssna ordentligt. En genomlysning har det blivit och det är tungt, minimalistiskt och väldigt mycket London-förort. Helt klart godkänt, men för många låtar som är aldeles för lika varandra.

Yep, nope.

This is a brilliant album and people need to hear this regardless if whether they like it. Why? I hear you ask. Well, here goes. Uk Rap before this was piss poor, it imitated american rap but worse, had no identity and never made it anywhere near relevance. The boy in the corner changed that. He gave voice to London's streets in a unique and original way. You cant say he invented grime and uk rap, but he is the 'jesus' who brought it to the masses compared to the predecessors who were more 'john the baptist'. Regardless of his seminal cultural impact, this album still slaps and displays talent coming out of every pore. The production is top tier with scuzzy crunchy bass and beats, beautiful string arrangements and delicious pop hooks as well. My only complaint is it could be 20% shorter but who am i to argue. While most boys (including this writer) were doing nothing more than furious wanking in their bedrooms at 15, it is nothing more than spectacular that Dizzee produced this album in his bedroom that spawned a whole genre and still sounds fresh today.

Could’ve done without this

One of the UK's greatest contributions to the arts in the last quarter century.

Nah

I like his sound but I think I connect it too much to his really famous songs that I was then disappointed when I didn’t know any of the songs

I have heard a few songs from Drizziee and in the grime genre before and its not anything I enjoy at all. It has interesting parts and learning about the origins and evolution of the genre can be interesting but I would rather read up on it than listen to this again.

Not really my type of music🫤

I would never include this album in a list like this. It's not my taste at all.

Love it

Nice to see some more diverse rap on this list. Overall this album was fine, nothing really stood out but the music wasn't all that bad.

hard

Langt síðan ég henti í tvist. Ekki algjörlega óþolandi, en oftar en ekki fráhrindandi hljóðheimur. Það detta inn áhugaverðir og töff bútar, en það er of langt á milli þeirra fyrir mín eyru.

I liked this quite a bit, just not enough to break the 3 star ceiling

Um starts out a little rough but grew on me for sure.

I liked it overall. A couple tracks made me question things though. Update: on repeat listens this shit actually super annoying.

Really all over the place in a good way, although the beat selection was awful. 2,4,15 Rating: 2.55

Why isn’t there more UK rap. I likee.

pretty mid record. i enjoyed some specific songs, but for the most part, the beats are beyond ass and makes it borderline unlistenable sometimes. as a whole, i can pretty clearly see what some people might like about it, but i just don't think i'd ever wanna come back to this one other than a couple tracks. standout tracks: i luv u, seems 2 be
