I hate all of The Streets' music, if you can even call it that. He just speaks. Many people will find his urban "cool" but I for one do not. Give me expensive recording equipment and I could make a "conceptual album" (like his new one) about my life and speak through it. I don't see why people think he is amazing because his songs are samey shite. Give me Dizzee Rascal any day.

I think he's ace. He's ace and he's fit. What's there to hate?

he uses the guitar riff from David Bowie's "john, i'm only dancing". so all in all he is ace.

The Streets aren't bad, but I must admit, I don't get all the hype over them. I don't think Mike is a lyrical genius, urban poet or whatever. But they're all right. 'Dry Your Eyes' is so overrated though.

Your Eyes' is so overrated though. It's just talking. And the lyrics are horrible.

I wouldn't go so far as to call the guy a genius, but what he does is so very much better than anyone else in his field.
