Hold On is just such an amazingly amazing tune.
I got talking to the Indian dude in Foreign Beggars after the gig, he's a pretty cool guy... He came and sat next to me to watch the Scratch Perverts do their thang. And it's actually quite nice to have an artist say 'yeah, I saw you down there, seemed like you were really enjoying it' to you. Adds a really nice touch...
Task Force/Skinny/Foreign Beggars.. Where was this?
I thought it was 50 cent but i listened to his outta control song its not that one as far as i can tell.

Heh, sounds familiar. Foreign Beggars were there too last week, and played "Hold On" as the last song of their set. Skinnyman burst on the stage for the last verse and just set the place alight. He did his set after that, but I only saw half cos it was getting to nearly 3 am and it was a school night :(
Very cockney and sounds good. You even get a sample of her calling him a "w***a" with an essex accent. :-)

Didn't picture you as a hip-hopper :P
I saw Foreign Beggarz a while back, they're fooking amazing. Their main dude (Orifice Vulgatron) is an amazing rapper, and they have some decent production on their album, too. Called 'Asylum Speakers'. They have on tune on there called 'Hold On' with Skinny.
Anyway, back to when I saw them live, I was right at the front. Then suddenyl out of nowhere Skinny jumped out of the wings, and did his thang. I've never been so squashed against a barrier in my life, the rush that ensued skinny coming on was phenomenal.
Gotte get a task force album of sort soon, I keep hearing their name being thrown around...

I saw Skinnyman last week, was really good. Taskforce stole the show tho.

I was there ;)

That's fair, but a lot of rappers aren't putting on accents, which means that people into their US-shizzle find the accents wierd. Recently I heard an American hip-hop journalist describe UK hip-hop as 'US hip-hop before all the bling bling stuff ruined it'.
Niddle, anything with Jazzy Jeff involved is going to be pure gold :D I saw the repeat of the Urban Music Festival on T4 recently and him and Will Smith completely stole the show!
As for Sway.. Slick Rick and Roots Manuva are the only English rappers I've been able to bear to listen to. The accents everyone else put on while they're rapping just sound so weird.

Yes its more than solid, its a classic! I think you unfortunately listened to the only weak track (Hot Sex) on the whole album. For a sneak preview try listening to (downloading) Steve Biko (Stir it up), electric relaxation or God lives through.
