[yoda you can call me]

Dizzee's first album was some classic ish man. Really dark beats

His second album Showtime was nice as well.

Pretty decent for a british emcee

It's pretty cool US rappers know of Boy In Da Corner so well... just shows how amazing of an album it is, to travel that far when it's so weird and... it's grime, and so small commercially-speaking.

You can definitely hear the influence on Danny, if from there.

Boy In Da Corner is definitely a brilliant album. It's like organized chaos, I love the manic, intense and complex feel to the production and Dizzee's style, shit's just like an explosion.

Everything about the visual and feel to the album is just perfect too... like MMLP. I'm not saying it's as good as MMLP, but I just mean it's one of those magic albums where every element meshes ingeniously.
