TSJ: FRIENDS OF THE STARS
Speech Debelle, on July 13th, 2009 at 11:46 pm Said:
listen folks…this song is banger! Im not one to go on about how good I think my music is because it should speak for itself and with all the good press etc i been gettin I shouldn’t really have to. On this occasion though I will. See if I wasn’t rapping on this song I would still like it, this producer Plutonic Lab is a genius I know this because I was in the studio with him. Theres not many producers that can programe drums on a hip hop beat and make it sound as live as the rest of my album. I would be the first to admit this isnt my strongest lyrical song but I dont care, it doesnt need to be. Its about changing your life and turning negative into postive. This song is for anyone who knows what that feel like…road man, road gyal, shotters, bun and cheese…BANG YOUR DOORS!!!…yes fam..you know it feels good to say “mum, I kept my promise” x
And a mere two months after turning up in our comments section, Speech has just scooped this year’s Mercury Music Prize.
Jesse McCartney: the 2010 Grammy awards take place on the 31st January, and I do believe the ball is in your court.
Just sayin’.
On the one hand, definitely not what I would have picked. On the other, I was afraid it was going to be fucking Kasabian, so congratulations are in order.
