Dizzee Rascal has beat off Coldplay and Radiohead to win the Mercury music prize in the UK. Thank the lord, the album is amazing!

― Matt In Middle England (silver_rocket89), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 20:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't have much to add -- don't know anything, really, about the Mercury Prize, and I just bought "Boy In Da Corner" last week, so it's brand spanking new to me. But I love it.

― mte, Tuesday, 9 September 2003 21:21 (twenty-two years ago)

this is some sort of queer justice, but naturally it will backfire for poor dizzee.

especially now that he's left roll deep, i can't imagine this will endear him to the underground anymore than, say, ltj bukem even they are worlds apart in terms of outlook, sonics, and positioning.

basement jaxx feat diz... oh wait

― Chip Morningstar (bob), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 08:33 (twenty-two years ago)

oh shut it the lot of you - why does this have to be a bad thing for dizee, why is this to be worried about. if you're being serious, you really need to sort your position out, jess - are you a rank populist or an indie boy? do you want great music to be popular and critically acclaimed or do you want it to remain obscure, for "real" music fans? as an argument against this, a girl i know bought dizzee's album on the strength of it being nominated for the mercury a couple of weeks ago (she never listens to my tips abt music) and phoned me to say, "wow, you were right, this is amazing". this is a good thing and what music should be about. the bukem comparison is just plain off the planet as far as i am concened, they're not even vaguely alike in ANY way and i think you may well have finally gone completely off your rocker if you can even attempt to justify this. anyway, i'm glad he won - the best album of the year took the prize, as it should be and into the bargain i won £150, so i'm happy...

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 08:37 (twenty-two years ago)

dave how is anything i posted to this thread indicating that i feel that dizzee shouldn't reach the broadest audience possible?

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 08:39 (twenty-two years ago)

the fact that i dont think it possible for him to reach as broad an audience as, say, JT or fitty doesn't mean that i wouldn't wish for it in a better world.

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 08:40 (twenty-two years ago)

especially now that he's left roll deep, i can't imagine this will endear him to the underground anymore than, say, ltj bukem even though they are worlds apart in terms of outlook, sonics, and positioning.

obviously that should be "endear him to the underground anymore than, say, ltj bukem to people going to awol in 96" or whatever

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 08:42 (twenty-two years ago)

in other words, massive reading comp breakdown there

also, so solid to thread

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 08:43 (twenty-two years ago)

this is some sort of queer justice, but naturally it will backfire for poor dizzee.

well this can be read like that very easily... acclaim backfiring on him, better not to win stuff... no breakdown in comprehension whatever, just a very slight misunderstanding of what you *actually think*. and many of the other responses here are exactly the sort of snarky, pompus guff i would have expected. "oh he's won something so he's gonna go all shit and collaborate with 'real' artists"... what if he does - here's where you can all learn a thing or two from simon r, re his idea of the alternative mainstream... this matters not an arse as he is already a pouular artist - plus didn't he actually say "being a celebrity don't mean shit to me"... guess we'll see if he meant it

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 08:50 (twenty-two years ago)

So Solid didn't give props to the underground and donate money to youth clubs, did they? And I doubt that Dizzee will go straight hiphop on his next album.

― Keith McD (Keith McD), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 08:51 (twenty-two years ago)

dave i think your sarcasm receptors have been forcibly removed in your sleep.

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 08:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Dave in fairness I don't think anyone was saying that really.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 08:52 (twenty-two years ago)

dave if you expected ILM to be snarky & pompous (not that gabbo's response was either of those things AT ALL), why are you so pissed?

also, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE IF YOU HAVE 150 POUNDS TO BURN??? GO BUY MORE RECORDS!!

― Dave M. (rotten03), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 08:53 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm at work!!! and i didn't say jess' responses were snarky and pompous, i said the others were. what the fuck is wrong with dizzee working with basement jaxx, what the fuck is wrong with him hitting the top of the charts week in week out for a while, what the fuck is wrong with him winning stuff and why does this have to be negative? if the darkness/the thrills (who i actually thought might get it, not that i like them or anything) won we'd all be wallowing in how right we are and how wrong the judges were - but as it stands, people are still grumbling whan there's nothing to complain about - this is a VICTORY, be HAPPY!!!

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 09:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Eh? Who's grumbling? I think it's great that Dizzee has won (even though I pretend that the Merc Prize is pointless and irrelevant it isn't and I generally DO care about who wins).

Actually, I have a vague recollection of going "YES!" in the pub last night when Stevem announced that Dizzee had won.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 09:08 (twenty-two years ago)

plus didn't he actually say "being a celebrity don't mean shit to me"... guess we'll see if he meant it

I seriously can't imagine Dizzee hanging out at the Met Bar with former Big Brother contestants and glamour models.

I'm pleased he won. I'm less pleased that I told myself to put a fiver on him winning, the day the nominations came out, and then promptly failed to do so. I hope this gives him Ms Dynamitee-hee-style fame, but I fear BIDC is, as mentioned elsethread, too outre for yr average casual 5 CDs a year buyer. "That's not music, it's just noise, why doesn't he sound like those nice Black Eyed Peas" etc.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 09:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I wonder whether we are underestimating the 5 CD-a-year buyer. I have a feeling a sizeable proportion of them will love it.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 09:51 (twenty-two years ago)

but they are idiots! for starters they probably only own 20 cds or so

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 10:06 (twenty-two years ago)

joking aside, I doubt they'll love it, too fucked and angry.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 10:07 (twenty-two years ago)

it's also funny and whimsical

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 10:09 (twenty-two years ago)

On the rare occasions that the Mercury have actually gone for a non-famous already act (when I say "famous", I mean with at least some record of crossing over to the mainstream), there's either two options. The Badly Drawn Boy switch to the mainstream, or the Talvin Singh not even getting a chance to go mainstream.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 10:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah I agree, I do want people to like it and though I am positive sales will go up after this award, there will still be plenty of haters. Anything that sounds as new and radical as Dizzee is going to attract criticism from people whose kneejerk reaction to something new is to complain about how it's different from the old in some roundabout way.

Like what happened with the New Radicals, for example.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 10:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah it is Dave but it's musically quite unrelenting and much more minimal than is the current fashion - I think even if you listen to quite a bit of hip-hop this will sound fairly fucked-up. I find it a hard album to get all the way through myself to be honest, though pretty much every track sounds great in isolation.

I would imagine we'll be seeing a lot of 'emperor's new clothes' stories from would-be daring journos in the papers over the next few days. :(

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 10:14 (twenty-two years ago)

We must carefully consider the Talvin Singh's album was total and utter shite equation before proceeding though.

I was sure Dizzee would win, even if they didn't totally get it, there was no chance Boy In Da Corner would fail to get them.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 10:16 (twenty-two years ago)

by which I mean it just sounds too radical not to be given the award aswell.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 10:16 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah to, i think the humpur is pretty well buried, too, if i'm being perfectly honest. i should imagine we will see many of those stories, too. i bet one will be in jockey slut, by chris blue or jim butler

How can dance be dead if they praise Dizzee!

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 10:29 (twenty-two years ago)

It comes into what I was vaguely hinting at in my Stylus article, before I started holding the entire black populace of the world down: garage music has never really take as strong a hold on the charts as it would seem. Ignoring the 2-step pop explosion of a few years back (and we're still getting the final dribs and drabs of that now), and So Solid's exploits into the top ten (a perfect example of how the broadsheets shitting themselves at the sight of a bunch of black guys together can be so much more effective than any street team (the only good thing Q magazine ever did was the headline "Up Middle England")), garage has still always remained on the outskirts really. With all the best will in the world, I can't see how DR will become a bona fide top 20 artist.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 10:33 (twenty-two years ago)

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 10:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I am intrigued by this "garage music has never taken that strong a hold on the charts", but I have a feeling it is utter bollocks... two or three years ago I didn't even LIKE garage and thought it was everywhere in one form or another.

Of course Dizzee isn't going to be a regular Top 20 SINGLES artist (although I reckon Jus A Rascal has the potential hit the top 10), but the album could well do very well indeed, especially now.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 10:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Garage has always seemed more popular than it actually is, there's no way you can argue against that point.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 10:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't understand how you can overlook the 2-Step pop explosion in all this. It's like you're saying "if you overlook all the really big hits, it's not really that popular."

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 10:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I always saw 2-step as different to garage. Now, maybe I'm just clueless, but 2-step seemed to me a lot more pop orientated, kinda like the R&B to garage's hip-hop (crap analogy I know, but the meaning's clear).

However, you speak to the average person on the street, they'll know what garage is ("Oh yeah, So Solid"), but not 2-step.

Of course, maybe I'm just taking grime to represent all garage, but, eh.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 10 September 2003 10:53 (twenty-two years ago)

i think this idea is hugely simplistic and the most important thing abt garage is that, particularly up until a couple of years ago, it was (and still is to a certain extent) a very broad church mashing all varieties (2step, breakbeat, dub, blah, blah, blah) into one evening/set. plus 2step was pretty damned broad in itself , ranging from sweet female attitude to groove chronicles...

― The Ghost of Dan Perry, Professional Cure Fanboy (Dan Perry), Thursday, 28 October 2004 17:40 (twenty years ago)

no, on that track youre talking about, i think he sounds pretty bad. it doesnt even sound like he wrote it, and far as i can tell, dizzee is pretty damn bad at freestyling, especially over hip hop beats. actually, hes bad over straight hip hop beats in general. i have that first mixtape he did with semtex and some of the freestyling on there just sounds, i dunno, 'wrong'. stick to the grime dizz!

maybe he had a few okay one liners, but overall, i cant say it was very good. either way, titch MURKED him ridiculously. of course dizzee will just say something like 'im bigger than him, who cares' but thats taking the easy route. he thinks hes better than the grime scene now.

then again, the day more than 2 or 3 people say anything slightly bad about grime in general is the day ILX stops in time. its like all the blogs about it - they see no wrong! theyre so gushy, i imagine their keyboards have slippery surface warnings over them.

― titchyschneider (titchyschneider), Thursday, 28 October 2004 17:45 (twenty years ago)

I just like the track Dan! If you want me to list the Dizzee tracks I don't like, I will.

BTW, I just listened back to the Wiley response to Hype Talk - sure, good story, and very 'intense', but you don't think he sounds a mess on that? I dunno, maybe we're both looking for different things here.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 28 October 2004 18:37 (twenty years ago)

I like Crazy Titch heaps so I could imagine him beating out Dizzee on a freestyle but titchy schneider's main beef with dizzee at the moment seems to boil down to slow beats and sleb rhymes - and i just think both are flawed premises on which to attack dizzee b/c a) all grime MCs rap over slow beats, and b) all grime MCs make sleb rhyhmes, the difference being that they're rapping about sleb MCs within the tiny context of the grime scene.

I don't have a problem with that - it works fine, especially once you start to get a sense of who and what they're talking about - but it just seems strange to attack Dizzee for eg rapping about money which *all* the grime MCs do this.

xpost- as far as titch, regardless of his attacks, as far as actual music, his diss track was just plain better than dizzees. its like canibus' 2nd round KO vs. that embarassing answerback record that LL came out with.

(me neither, fwiw.)

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 29 October 2004 10:52 (twenty years ago)

Singles just came out here. "Trapped" is great, awesome galloping beat, comparable to the faster more insane Showtime tracks. Production-wise it should be on the album I think; the lyrics though are very focused (albeit about how dizzee's moved on while everyone's still stuck on a lower level, so fitting thematically) in such a manner that I can sorta imagine it disrupting the flow of the album a bit.

"Is This Real?" - sounds like a BIDC track, nice emotive synth pattern but everything about this track sounds like a practice run for "Brand New Day". Which means it's still really ace but again I can see why it was left of the debut.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 29 October 2004 13:08 (twenty years ago)

is this real, to me, sounds like dizzee doing a proper dirty south song (albeit with subtler synths). everything from the heavy bass tones to the claps and the drum patterns scream out DIRTY DIRTY!

trapped is the hardest, toughest thing hes done this year, i think. it would sound really rough compared to most of showtime.

It is quite funny to read about this here. I was listening to all the disses the other night with a guy who is friends with Crazy Crazy Titch, along with some other stuff. Told a lot of stories - had the 1Xtra diss and stuff - Titch's is so much better, and funnier.

kind of a shame he already went thru with the album cos the trials and tribs of the uk industry game has been bubbling under for a while now with him and is probably the last true personal ~artistic~ avenue available (obv i don't mean like the dogeared successful musician makes song for The Haters type thing)

as it is he's quite mistaken if he thinks anyone gonna play any violins now cos he miscalibrated his cynicism. "Make up your fucking minds!!!"

ha yeah loath as i am to side with the Industry Establishment on this one, all this tells us is that *even* Radio 1 can tell that dizz's trend-chasing is misguided pony

Rapper Dizzee Rascal has been charged with assault, following an incident in south London.
The 36-year-old whose real name is Dylan Mills, was charged after police officers visited an address in Streatham on 8 June.
A woman at the property had suffered minor injuries, but did not need hospital treatment, police said.
Mr Mills, from Sevenoaks in Kent, is due to appear at Croydon Magistrates' Court on 3 September.
The rapper, who was awarded an MBE in the Queen's birthday honours in 2020 for his services to music, is due to perform at South Facing Festival, Crystal Palace Park and Lydiard Park on dates in August.
