Mike Skinner is the personified proof, you can be a funny and friendly person and stil be succesful in musicBiz. that´s the best thing you can do i would say.
Is it bad that I actually LIKE this song? I think the sampling from Bloc Party is very well done... the way that bass hits is cool. I'd honestly love to have this on a CD!
I too am an American and think Mike Skinner is very talented! I like him because he's NOT singing about drugs and gangs and cars. His beats are excellent and his lyrics are second to none!
it really shouldn't matter where an artist comes from. it just shows that mikes a legend, that people in america have heard of him, takin in account all the music they're kickin out. mike's not the most perfect person in the world, we can't deny it. but he's still a fuckin good artist
He isn't a very good singer, but he sings when it does fit and thats nice. I don't have say that he is a dope mc, because everybody know. Streets 4 ever
I don't know where you get that impression, there are lots of British songs over here from time to time that are really big. I don't know anyone who would knock a British song just because of where it comes from but I guess there probably are some people who would. I just listen to music if it sounds good, it doesn't matter where it comes from.
Yes, you are right! I never really thought about it. I suppose it's just because he does it in a more subtle, "classier" way, if you will. For example I've never heard him say "patron" or "dom" or any ridiculous reference like American rappers do. Can we import some of that talent from the UK??

I'm not gonna let you have the last word, so you know. Ohh no, the bad man on the internet said he's going to beat me up, I have to stop. Seriously, I haven't seen a more idle threat this side of the cold war.
