i went back to these to see if i dismissed them too easily (i do think about what other people on this board say and consider the possibility they are right and im wrong) But i still think these are bad albums/mixtapes.
tinchy's album's the worst. whoever says this is brilliant either hasnt heard it or shouldnt be allowed to voice his opinion on music. the first track is bearable, the rest is utter shite. words that come to mind are girly, poppy, carribean, 2 unlimited (all meant in a bad sense). i dare whoever disagrees with me to name a track on this album that's brilliant
skepta's slightly better. duppy and single are nice but old. i really dont care for the rest. in all the reviews of this album ive read it's all about how great a guy skepta is, nobody talks about the tracks on this album, and for good reason.
i very much get the idea that people who say that all these mixtapes/albums are great, never really listened to them. They like the artists and want the albums to be great. I do too, but unfortunately they arent.
