Big Dada (Audio CD) - March 22, 1999 |
Amazon.co.uk Review
For a long time, it seemed like any sort of hip-hop that came from Great
Britain was immediately labelled "trip-hop." But it's impossible to
pigeonhole crews like Black Twang and London rapper Roots Manuva into
that category--and sometimes it's tough to slot Roots Manuva into any
category.... |

From his idiosyncratic delivery and leftfield lyrics to his rootsy

Deep Down & Dirty is the Stereo MC's fourth album though it could

I remember loving this when it came out (in 1993), and it still sounds
great - it's funny, clever, politically concious and catchy, and also
very British, rap/hip-hop - which is, unfortunately, much thinner on the
ground than it should be. That gets five big, well-deserved shiny ones

An original sound for all music lovers
This is a brillaint piece of original sounding music. I think that it is
classed as hip hop but theres an element of drum and bass in there. Put
this track on and you are taken on a journey, its a very chilled out
song but it also makes you want to go out clubbing. I didnt know much
about Roots... |
