The streets biography movie

Clicka qua per la versione Italiana Streets, the project of Mike Skinner, a white British rapper who jumped on the bandwagon of the dance fads of the late s "garage" and "two step" and turned them into tools to construct generational anthems, such as his debut single Has It Come To This On, Despite being frequently tedious and monotone, Original Pirate Material Atlantic, turned Streets into the English equivalent of Eminem , despite the fact that he was not rapping but simply reciting his verses in an ordinary register, and despite the fact that the beats were not exactly groundbreaking.

However, his down-to-earth lyrical prose struck a chord with an entire generation the way punk-rock had done in the late s. It was a documentary art just like punk-rock had been. It radiated a calm desperation, a sense that everything is hopeless, just like the nihilism of punk-rock. But, being colloquial and subdued, it lacked the violent edge of the punk era.

Songs like It's Too Late even sound melancholy and nostalgic, engaging in a call-and-response with an uplifting choir.

He opens the album, in Turn The Page , spitting out his dark vision of England with the tone of the Biblical preacher in a regional pub. Secondary elements are often more important than his spoken word, like the robotic backing choir that weakens the momentum of Don't Mug Yourself and the sense of tragedy that emanates from the beats of Geezers Need Excitement.

He ends up dueting with a shadow crooner and a chopped orchestral sample Dvorak's "New World Symphony" in Same Old Thing a song about boredom with which thousands of young people identified. His talent shines in absurd frescoes of humanity like Weak Become Heroes , in the ability to make you feel that you are walking with him in drug-infested streets into alcohol-fueled pubs.

The album ends with the funereal Stay Positive , which celebrates his overcoming heroin addiction but sounds like an ending, not a beginning.

A Grand Don't Come For Free Atlantic, is a sort of hip-hop opera, all the songs being related to each other by the story of a some lost money. The plotline is only a pretext for a Kinks -style sociological analysis and diagnosis of British society at the turn of the century. The music is more adventurous than on the debut: the bombastic orchestral sample of It Was Supposed to Be So Easy , the Frank Zappa -esque choir of Not Addicted , and the melody sung by the female singer in Blinded by the Lights are calculated moves that greatly enhance the show although they may detract from the lyrics.

All songs are half sung, and the singing is not always an attraction robotic and zombie-like in What Is He Thinking?
