I've recently come across "A Grand Don't Come For Free" from The Streets. The group is actually a guy. He's from England, and the album is rap. But it's good. From start to finish, the album tells a story. There's a word for that, the story-telling on a disc, but I don't know anything about anything.
i think it's two separate guys from england, but i forget. i remember listening to them the last year of undergrad.
their sound is rather jarring at first since it's british rap, but the cadence is soothing after awhile.
Pretty sure the Streets is just one guy, Michael Skinner.
Glad to see you're going back through the Black Keys' catalog. Those guys are the real deal. You've got to check out Rubber Factory if you haven't yet. The track "The Lengths" is reminiscent of the Stones' Moonlight Mile, one of my all-time favorites.
I stand corrected. i had no idea. it sounds like two completely different people rapping.
