The Streets

[Caro]

So to all of you in the UK - is this group huge over there? I saw them on MTV once, like six months ago, and couldn't remember the name, finally found them again. So do you like them?

Sounds so different than american hip hop - I love the British accent (of course then you'd probably think I have a Seattle accent - how strange!~) but anyways, they sound so hot.

And a question: what does it mean "when shit goes pear"?

Thanks

Its a him, just one guy, Paul someone or other. Yeah, hes pretty big over here but its garage not hip hop which is why it sounds different
I quite like it but recently hes spawned a load of annoying rip off groups who are a very pale in comparisson plus the over the top forced Saaarf LAndan accent gets right up my nose.

It means when shit goes pear shaped. When things go pear shaped it means they've gone wrong. Not quite sure why but I always like that saying.

Ah, the accent is exaggerated?

[Weedguru Anex]

Yeah, its now 'cool' to talk like you can't actually speak english properly coz di bad bwoys is doin it on da tv so I is gonna do it too etc. etc.
Nah, the streets guy isn't forcing his accent really but some of the rip off type acts are really over doing the london thing. London bites, everything that comes out of it is the same.

Like Ali G?

[Weedguru Anex]

Yup, thats exactly what Ali G is taking the piss out of, I just wasn't sure if you'd have heard of him or not.

Caro not to seem like I bein bitchy but I am patriotic as an Englishman the accent is English not British. British Accent covers Scottish, Welsh, Scouse, Cockney, Geordie, Irish etc... At least sayiong English accent would narrow it down but b4 I say I am British I say I am English, you would never hear of a Scotsman or Welshman or even Irishman say they were British...they are always their true nationality.

Oh and have you noticed that HollyWppd movie makers always are willing to cast Irish/Scot/Welsh people in leading roles and as good guys but Englishmen are always made to be bad guys??

You would be right in thinkin I could be OTT not that I feel I am but I hate the way on all online forms for country you never see England, Scotland, N.Ireland, Wales seperately they are all referred to as United Kingdom although that isnt a country? Msn Refers to our countries in the UK as areas or states or sumthin like that. I could rant on but I'll leave it there cos I cant be assed sayin anymore cos u prob wont even read it all ahh well bye

The Streets rule, I saw them at Werchter, Skinner is such a weirdo. appeared on stage in knee-high trousers, a weird shirt and his hat worn on the back of his head.
