    A thin and innocuous stretch of yawners. [#22, p.97]

    Lady Sovereign is the most courageous singer I seen in a long time. The album is one of the bests in the style I ever hear. Loved her!

The result was a blatant "meh". She's good and funny but her songs sound like Eminem material. Even if she claims she isn't to be compared to him, she plays the exact same role he does except more rashly and more teenagery. I know she's 24 or something but she really acts like a teenager. Probably uses this for her image or from her image. Her lyrical prestations are okay. Nothing grand. I don't think she should've aimed for a world-wide market. Probably just stayed in England.
