MAWR synth MAWR beat. Dizzee's bringing itt.

#1 written all over it.

 

Whilst I love the song, I would definitely say it's 'MARS' for the mainstream audience. It reminds me of Mars so much.

FOOK. Completely forgot to listen. Guess I could 'listen back' or whatever it's called. No doubt it'll be uploaded somewhere soon anyway I suppose.

This is bit too good :o

So much better than I'd even imagined

This will be HUGE

Indie/Rock/Alternative = Dizzee Rascal???

 

Ummm dance/©rap/pop maybe...generally musically/lyrically inept.

 

Disclaimer...that isn't to say that I think rap = crap ... there is an abundance of decent rap music available ... I'm referring to Dizzee's material to date.

 

Edit: Having heard it, I think it's OK, nothing great though, I don't get all the hype over it at all.

Is it really released in June? Because it was played on R1 today. Even on a bus on FM radio, twas amazing.

wtf is this doing here?!?

I guess some people are referring to it as "alternative"...maybe, I dunno...

 

I was reading the CoolClarity thread in The Lounge earlier and reminiscing over the time that I stood-in and compiled the Indie/Rock/Alternative chart there, a number of people were charting Jamiroquai. It's one of those subjective things, I suppose.

 

Personally, I wouldn't (as is evident of my earlier post in this thread!). Might be interesting to "sound out" why people think it fits here?

This well and truly is 'Bonkers' :mellow: It's... weird...

 

I'm not sure if I like it or not...

 

Hmmm... :thinking:

I see no reason why it shouldn't be here, really.

Dizzee's always been more alternative to other similar artists and this new direction could certainly be considered alternative (?)

I can move it if people think it suits dance/ rap more, but at this moment I think this is the correct place for it.

Tbh i think it fits in Hip Hop, even 'Alternative' Hip Hop should go in the forum imo.

We have two threads. One in Hip-Hop one here. Which is more successful? That's the best judge of where something should be imo. It's all good and well putting a thread somewhere based on technicality but what's the point if it garners no proper responses?

 

I think sometimes "scene" has to be considered. Particularly somewhere like BJ where no alternative forms of Dance or Hip-Hop and RnB are particularly explored. I think it makes the "alternative" in Indie and Alternative a genre within itself but also an umbrella for alternative Pop, Hip-Hop and Dance. If it isn't then it doesn't really get discussed and ends up shunned?

Not really. The only reason I'm replying to this thread about it is that I next-to-never visit the Hip Hop/RnB forum (or whatever it's called). It's grown on me slightly, but I still don't think it's that good.

Which is essentially what I'm saying :huh: No point posting a thread somewhere on a technicality if it'd garner more responses elsewhere...

OFFICIAL VIDEO:

 

 

Good video, even if slightly "Bonkers" as the title suggests :P

My favourite video of the year.

 

SICK doesn't describe it.

ADORE. The song is fantastic. The video is weird though :heehee:

 

This song is in my head for already 3 days. I can't get it out of it. :(

What a fabulous video / song. :wub:

This just sounds like noise to me. I've never understood the appeal of Dizzee Rascal. I think this rips off Middleman a bit as well.
