I like (actually love) her singing on Boo (especially intro section "and you know").

I find it really grating and horrible.

she's about as good a singer as estelle.

Whatever happened to her? She was alright.

she wanted to be the UK's lauryn hill. but something went wrong so now she just appears in lots of newspapers for worthy causes and in TV programmes/talent shows.

anyway, estelle is 2004/2005's new UK lauryn hill.

Kids happened to her from what I understand (anybody want to confirm/deny this).

She sounds like M.I.A.!

How can you say anything bad about this track?

I once had a company mobile phone with "mp3 storage" but this was the only track I could ever fit on there! I think I may have once switched it for a Deftones track!

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

this track is the best!

It is a great track. Did Sticky ever release anything album-wise because I've got a few of his/hers/theirs on MP3 and they're pretty damn good too?

i like this track lots, and have no problems with her singing. she was still called 'lady dynamite' at this point right?

but something went wrong

She got pregnant.

I actually love her R&B voice, it's very... unashamedly hard, forthright, no melisma at all. (whereas Estelle I feel makes too many concessions to US R&B, which wouldn't matter except she doesn't sound very comfortable with it.) Most of the R&B songs on her album are a different matter but when she worked with good material ("Dynamitee", "Put Him Out", "Boo!") it was fantastic.

Sticky's crowning glory was "Dollar Sign" though, LADY STUSH WHERE DID YOU GO.

i know!! please come back!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 10 January 2005 22:43 (twenty-one years ago)

PLEASE DON'T BE PREGNANT STUSH

IT'S ALL ABOUT STUSH!

I remember hearing "Boo" for the first time at UK Garage club night here in Melbourne in January 2001 and just been blown away. I think they mxied it straight into my first exposure of Cleptomaniacs' "All I Do (Bump & Flex Dancehall Dub)", and "midnight garage" was born!

"Ramp" (the track Dynamite did with Menta) was pretty ace too - those blocky beats and booming bass sounded awesome over a sound system.

one month passes...

So did Sticky ever release anything? Or was it all white label stuff?

― Nick H (Nick H), Friday, 4 March 2005 15:18 (twenty years ago)

No album, but regular 12-inches. Mostly on his own Social Circles label.

― JoB (JoB), Friday, 4 March 2005 17:05 (twenty years ago)

Shame really, because his stuff is ace. What about a mix tape of some sort. Is it worth me enquiring in a local dance shop?

― Nick H (Nick H), Friday, 4 March 2005 18:57 (twenty years ago)

could someone pleeeeaaasse gmail me this song? it's very hard to come by in a hard version, esp. in australia.
