The Streets - Crap or genius?

What does everyone else think of the Streets? I personally think he's a pile of shite, but I seem to be the only one! He's being nominated for awards and recieveing critical acclaim left right and centre! I can't be the only person who can see he's crap?

I dunno, i think they're borderline. Sometimes i think the music is infact quite insightful, melodic, tuneful etc, but then sometimes i think well, there are a lot of contrived lyrics, and all the songs sound the same really.

They're a lot better than a fair few chart acts tho, but i'm gonna need to hear their next album before i fully make up my mind, see if they just rehash this one or not!

The UK eminem he certainly isnt

I think they are a pile of shite too. I saw Don't Mug Yourself on MTV2 yesterday and I nearly burst out laughing at the fact that they thought it is worth releasing

Load of Bollocks. A Brummie pretending to be a Cockney is not cool. And for him to get nominated for a Mercury is an insult to the music industry.

Whoa, not especially constructive criticism there!

Who else should have been nominated? steps? tweenies? liberty x? at least the guy is doing something new and away from the norm

I think they're great - quite an original sound and good lyrics.

Doesn't mean it's good though does it

As for who else could have been nominated, theres plenty. Elbow, Dirty Vegas, Charlatans, Starsailor to name but a few.

Sorry - not convinced (are you their agent ?)

Been on TV twice today and I can safely say it has not improved

Video is not bad but I cant help feeling that muting it gives me the same pleasure

He was born in Birmingham but moved to London as a child.
Mike Skinner is shite. Can't flow his beats are terrible and his lyrics are disgracefully bad.

Mike Skinner has invented a unique style of music, and has done it all off his own back at home. His music might not be to everyone's taste but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be nominated for awards. No music is to everyone's taste.

Personally I like The Streets - I find the lyrics an interesting insight into a very real British lifestyle. The music is funny and expresses emotion in a very original way.

The guy deserves recognition! Well done matey

Yup, that's me. Just don't get me started on Limp Bizkit - my opinions won't be so favourable.

I think you guys should point your ears towards Ballsack Redemption Curse - a fine band that also deserve some recognition. Unfortunately they haven't hit the big time but they so so should! MP3s are on the web somewhere.

I think they are brilliant, don’t really go much for the stuff they've released but the album is genius, just waiting to see how mike and the boys are going to follow it up.

...If you don't like them, that's cool. But they are innovative and not simply re-hashing old guaranteed sellers like some other "PopStars"
