"A Grand Don't Come For Free"

How does it compare to Original Pirate Material?

I just heard another track off it - can't remember the name, but he's talking about pills, being in a nightclub and getting a signal on his phone.

Sounded OK, but something's holding me back from buying the Album - perhaps it's the fear that it won't be as good as OPM.

Yeah, what's the new Dizee Rascal album like? Anyone got it?

A Grand Don't Come For Free is "different" from OPM, but it is very very good.

Fit but you know it isn't really that great though, the tracks on the rest of the album are by far superior.

Still not heard the full album. My housemate got OPM to bug me cos I normally abhor anything vaguely rap or garage or hip-hop related. Well...I do if he likes it (as he seems to listen to bad noise). But OPM was corking, as was the 1st Dizzee Rascal album.

So I take it the general consenseus of A Grand...is that it's good?

I tend to like the videos, but I can't stand the "music". Just not my cup of tea.

I like it a lot more than OPM personally.
Had no idea at all it's a concept album until I read some reviews on it.
And to me, if you can write a decent, coherent & funny concept aged 22-22 or however old he is then that's damn impressive.
There isn't a track I skip, wheras there are a few on OPM that don't tickle my fancy, even after all this time.

And I've been trying to see the video for "You're Fit" for a bloody age now, caught the end months ago on some channel and it made me laugh.

It's called 'Blinded By The Lights' and yeah it's quite good. I think OPM is the better album but A Grand... is still pretty good.

At least your not one of these idiots who buy it based on Dry Your Eyes. My dance and pop loving mate bought it a month or so ago saying how much he liked them. I sensed trouble the moment I asked if he had the first album and he gave a blank no. Next time I saw him I asked what he thought of it. He didn't like it much as it turns out "most of it is just talking".

It's a song called "Blinded by the Lights"

AGDCFF is good. Get it.

Not GNE then.

Don't know tbh, just heard it on the radio this morning while driving.

He was saying stuff like "Making my way to the main doors to get bars on my phone" and "the pills are dissolving now"

I think.

Oh and Bullet could this be "Geezers Need Excitement"? Or is that on OPM?
