The Ms. Dynamite Poll

In November 2006 she took part in a television show called The Race on Sky One. This was a week long event in which ten celebrities had to compete against each other on the track in different races building up to a thirty lap Formula Ford race on Sunday 12 November 2006. After about ten laps into the race disaster struck, and Ms. Dynamite hit the wall on the pit straight at about 100mph. She was air lifted to hospital for overnight observations but later released.

Ms Dynamite; Mike Skinner; Jamie T - these are the voices that social historians will turn to in their accounts of Britain under New Labour.

Rafael Behr was the same guy who wrote this classic:

uhhh i can do mp3s maybe tonight but 'deal with the matter' with ed case and 'don't stop' off the illa state mixtape a couple of years ago are essential

nb yes isn't it hilarious that her mainstream career failed!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL etc

there i've saved you the next 50 dom/nrq posts

i would actually choose 'don't stop', it's ferocious. or 'dy-na-mi-tee'

RAMP.

always thought boo would have been better without her off key singing. still classic though.

still one of the best UK female MCs evaaaa but shame that didnt translate to her own records. i wonder what shes doing now. i need to see i theres any old pirate radio mp3s of her around.

actually I've got that Ed Case record! erm somewhere.

mp3 titchy! (or release info if it's something proper.)

only got it on vinyl.

I've got Ramp somewhere, will dig it up...

'Don't Stop'
'Deal With The Matter'

listening them back to back is kind of poignant!

told ya i'm a bad gyal soldja

yeah, this was cold. abortion causing distortion to yr bodily fau...cets

funnily enough i listened to her doing the breakfast show with trevor nelson this morning; she has a thing for eating the green brillo bit off new sponges apparently.

Ta folks - never heard Ramp before, really want to hear it with decent bass now! Don't Stop ID3 - so did A Little Darker really come out in the end?!

yeah it did. she was on most of the best songs. akala isnt bad at all himself, he just needs better beats for his own albums. some of her best emceeing in years though.

Listening to Envy by So Solid for the first time ever, this is ace!

I saw her in a shop buying fistfulls of chocolate bars the other day. It was around midnight.

i liked Put Him Out

Put Him Out was great! And pretty much killed her singles trajectory dead!

Wow, there's a video for Boo!

post mp3s or GTFO Steve and Ed!

post chocolate chap.

Just listened to the two poll options back to back and can't decide, incidentally.

i wasn't nominating it

okay, you can stick around

youtubing Put Him Out now, it's not bad but only about as good as Dy-na-mi-tee

guy knows two songs and gets bolshy abt mp3s?

->

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ha ha 'bolshy,' I just hoped to provoke more discussion by people having something to listen to and talk about! as it was I already owned, for real cash money, one of the two and later found the other was already on my ipod.

I think Ms Dynamite might be the best thing England ever produced. She makes everyone else look like little kids who shat themselves. Her and Durrty Goodz should get married and have a lyrical baby. They could call it MC God.

so her comeback single with sticky is actually...REALLY FUCKING GOOD!

now that's what a comeback from a former uk garage star should sound like, alesha dixon.

^^^ that was exactly my thoughts upon hearing this. If Alesha Dixon's current stock is so high that she can get to top 3 with "Breathe Slowzzz", imagine what she'd be able to do with something actually good.

I like Ms. Dynamite, but that's fucking awful (and not even in the same GENRE as her album).

I LOVE THIS. Heard it on Marcus Nasty and thought "fuck that sounds like Ms Dynamite but... surely not!"

This is like a massive career reset button. Well done Dynamitee.

Also, I hope this becomes a chart hit for funky.

Mr. Snrub, this is closer to her very first single "Boo!" than anything on her album was.

Snrub reliable as ever!

This rip sounds better than the Heatwave one but it's still not quite... something. With bass and not on laptop speakers though...?

Yeah, I know. This is "UK Garage," right? Not my thing.
