jasontSep 18, 2004What's the big deal??? Showtime, like it's predecessor, is NOT a revolutionary album by any means. Dizzee does NOT break new grounds lyrically, and his delivery is derivative of better british emcee's such as Roots Manuva. The beats are clunky and obviously made with a Korg triton. boo.

AdamXSep 24, 2004The last British hope... Showtime expands on Boy In Da Corner lyrically but not in innovation, but how can we expect so much in a sophomore release? Dizzee's talent is still astonishing and he will only grow better with forthcoming albums... nuff respect to the guy... "Imagine" is a absolute masterpiece

AndreasApr 23, 2005The boy is crazy, but the result is awesome music. Dizzee is 10 years ahead off the rest, and this is as future as you get it. The beats is off the hook, and you will discover many different layers in his lyrical universe as you explore it. My favorite songs is "Face", "Respect me" and "Learn".

Logan"3Gs"CaptainAhabDirtyBirdEsqSep 14, 2004Boy in the Corner is still his best, but Showtime is still a very strong album, & one of the best of the year. Dizzee's flow is fantastic, & there are plenty of excellent songs.

SGoldMar 24, 2005Best rap album of 2004, no question. All people can talk about is Mike Skinner but Dizzee is twice as talented and this album is as good as his debut if not better.

Entertainment WeeklyThese barren videogame shoot-out beats and textures don't do him justice. [17 Sep 2004, p.76]

Aside from a couple of hiccups (the clunky R&B of "Get By", the silly call and response of "Knock Knock"), it's every bit as good as Boy in da Corner, and sometimes even better.

Alternative PressIt's the urgency of [Dizzee's] brash Brit patois that dares you not to decipher it. [Jan 2005, p.114]
