WildWildWillennium Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Yo this track is just crazy!! I love it! Beat kinda sounds like Jill Scott's Golden! 'Don't Talk' ain't bad either!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Brakes Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 This track is quite new in the UK here as well! I love Estelle and I am so looking forward to hearing her album drop! She has done various collabs and is now ready to drop her album. In my opinion she is Britains Premiere female emcee. She did a great song with Blak Twang (Britains best male emcee) called Trixstar! Its about the troubles with boys and girls! When her album drops I'd advise anyone to check it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Julie Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 i think its kinda so so, i dont think it was hugely sucessful either. Im not really into UK hip hop much, so she is the best ive heard, apart from da brakes of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Daedalus Mortality Posted August 21, 2004 Members Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Wowow, when you said UK hiphop I was expecting that Garage type, wich I dont like at all but this is really great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny 5 Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 I think it's cool, it's often on the radio at work and they play it in between the games on Match of The Day, I like it. I thought she mentioned the Fresh Prince in the song, I was gonna check out the lyrics sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevTastic Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Yeh it is an ace song. I like songs about grwoing up and stuff. I think it reached top 20 in the UK, still in the charts right now i think. It also mentions about learning the dance steps for Kid n Play. :switch: Got these lyrics off the net, think they are mostly correct yo..yo..yo.. I grew up in the 1980's in a 4-bedroom house my family my Grandma 3 or 4 Aunties Uncles and Brothers in and out of prison daily at certain times when there was no heat we stay under covers there was life like u never seen Daddy taking extra people in come dinner time It was tippin' 18 boil a big pot of water and the soap to take a bath with my face in Olive Oil all my mates used to laugh And my Cousin's moved out And we all got divided as i started to get older I seen god providing I've seen £50 last 3 months solid I got my first pair of 'Nikes' we were still eating porridge me and my cousin used to play 'Mel & Kim' practising dancin' coming down the stairs and ting I touched Africa and came back darker knowing myself feeling my roots a little bit harder [Chorus] 1980 year that God made me 89 i started to get mine 99 i started to write rhymes come, walk with me baby this were my life 1980 year that God made me 89 i started to get mine 99 i started to write rhymes come, walk with me baby this were my life So then we moved up thought i was the 'Fresh Prince' 'Dynasty' was re-runs and 'Dallas' was faded with 3 beds this time and 6 kids still we got a doggy (Does that dog 'ave to bark) A proper butt is for a pair of 'LA Gear' he thought it was for taking pictures of his belle's rear, we started hanging out my jeans got tighter my weird neighbours set their own house on fire Church was All day every day and every week that's where i learned how to sing hearing that Master Preach Benediction was all we went for so we could run home and play 'connect 4' Mum worked late and we learnt to cook so i started doing stew pea soup In the room watching Kung-Fu films and Cleopatra films..... [ Repeat Chorus] the man downstairs was dead for 3 weeks his own cat started eating him, the house starts to wreak that's when we moved out, our house was bigger we had the large garage and the __ we used to pray for 3 hours in the morning sitting on the school bus believe we was yawning all our hair was stuck down to our forehead sexy boys walking round showing interest in what i don't know coz we all had flat chests don't think we never mastered the 'Kid n Play' steps doowop for days in the bogle yep but this is just the beginning of my life right, 9 kids a house in one life time yo, the beginning of my life right 9 kids a house in one life time......

Da Brakes Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Only top 20!! I know it might sound a bit big headed of me but I would so much love to get a deal because I truly believe 'Understand' and 'Make Noise!' would reach top ten!! Thats just how i feel!
