woah, a few years behind the times are we leslie?

 

[Les Biehn]

I know but saw it on TV 3 times this week and it always makes me laugh, especially when the kids go mental at the end.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

aye i agree, i like a bit or ROOTS i do


and he mentions BITTER in there, top man

 

[Les Biehn]

Bitter! Yeah, I noticed that for the first time today. And I'm sure he uses the word splitter.

 

[enigma]

Wicked tune. The instru to that is unbelievable.

Saw him live last year- very good. Would reccomend his show to anyone.

[Les Biehn]

How come he is not bigger than the streets? They are shit hop he is the rizzal.

How come he is not bigger than the streets? They are shit hop he is the rizzal.

He doesnt appeal to as many people- simple. Roots is more conscious. which people dont always like, bit too intelligent for some peoples likes. Not having a pop at the Streets, I like him. T

oooh- you might have started a "streets- good or shit" argument

 

[enigma]

oooh- you might have started a "streets- good or shit" argument

Lets hope not- I have heard too many of those.....

I remember seeing the video at the end of december 2001, and have been a roots fan since.

saw him at wireless festival in hyde park last summer and he is a legend.

he also mentions cheese on toast in that song too

 

[Silent Bob]

Neevr seen the video.

Did see ROOTS live at the CONCORDE though.

like the way he incorporates that easy to ryhme footballer Jimmy Flloyd Haisselbank into one of his songs

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

I've supported Roots Manuva a couple of times. Very good, but sometimes a little "out there" for my liking.

"I hassle banks like Jimmy Floyd" or something wasn't it?
