Post by: bez on May 16, 2004, 08:57:18 AM: I loved "Fit but you know it", hella good song. All my mates hate it but I think its an quality tune. I can understand how they don't feel em tho, they into all that rappy gangsta shit, this is just straight up telling shit like it is.

I would love to give the album a listen.

Post by: Kill on May 17, 2004, 12:37:50 PM: the one parallel i can see is they use garage beats, but seem to be influenced by hiphop pretty strongly..............i've seen that comparison a 1000 times

Exactly. The only similar thing is that they are both huge mainstream artists.

yeah we get it alright - enough people over here use that slang from time to time and we get plenty of shows/movies using that slang so its nothin really new
