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.

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]
