MattPSep 5, 2005May be the most refreshing debut album of the new millenium.

kanderseJan 22, 2004Don't believe the hype. Cheap beats and high-pitched British accent to not mean innovation. As bad as 'The Streets'.

AKAshFeb 22, 2009For this album to rated higher then classics from Nas, 50 Cent ( I dont want to even mention other names). I cant belive that true hip hop fans would even rate him in the same categroy . Lyrics are very average and his voice makes us (uk) sound like are voices aren't broken. Not a Hater just a Truth Teller.

overratedNov 8, 2003Okay, but nothing special. Who are these critics, and why do they love rapping w/ a British accent so much?

Apr 16, 2016Just because it's one of the first if it's grime genre doesn't mean it is good. This album is good but brings nothing new or better to the table. If there is another album to listen to i wouldn't listen to it but if you have nothing else to listen to, give it a try, you might like it.

Q Magazine[A] strikingly stark and innovative debut. [Sep 2003, p.102]

It all makes for a bleak spread, but Rascal rises up as a singular musical presence too brimming and perceptive to let the coarse world around him pass by untouched.

BlenderHis hard-edged, dance-inflected debut makes East London sound like the new Dirty South. [Jan 2004, p.108]
