Council Estate of Mind

[Stumasta]

You thoughts please

[dj fu]

heavy and long over due. i actually had a few tracks of this a year ago that weren't gonna make the album cos of sample clearance, but now seem to be on it. odd

[Mantmast]

HEAVY and well worth the wait. Nice motown-inspired beats thanks to Baby J bringin an NY flavour to the production, and Skinny's lyrics are as sharp and venomous as ever. All about that picture of him in the bath tho: Jokes

[rogue]

yes you know this album is heavy!!

[rogue]

oh, and apparently he's appearing @ Brookes on 4th OCtober supporting Goldie Lookin Chain

[bryn]

yeah its a bad album and i know it's called council estate of mind but every track on there is about ghettos, guns, how hard his life is etc. just gets a bit repepative after a while

[Gem04]

Yeah I love this album..and i dont usually listen to much UK hip hop

[Roscoe]

Production is NICE. Subject matter gets a bit repetitive. Skits are kool but too many used IMO. Solid Lp tho.

there are far too many skits on there.

Yeh its like the hole movie! There taken from the old BBC movie "Made in Britian" (i think thats the name) directed by the same guy as Scum.

I reckon it's probably one of the best albums I've ever heard.

Production is sick, the lyrics are even sicker.

Heavy, heavy album

[Geemac]

heavy album, the beats in uk hiphop are defintly improving, whereas before they wernt on a par with the beats in american hip hop, big ups to skinny!

LOL - wouldn't go that far!

[Jibba]

Not heard it yet but everyone is talkin about it so i'm assuming its worth the hype.

Hasn't he been homeless for 14 years? Read this in a magazine....

I heard he still lives on the same estate in North London that he grew up in.

How 'street' can you get?

[rogue]

i thought he was from Leeds originally?

[Mantmast]

He is, but he moved South when he was a nipper. Mud-Fam all originate from there.

By the way, does anyone know what a 'Javadeacon' is??
