Article in Time

Pretty decent write up on Dizzee Rascal in the Jan 26th edition of Time magazine.

I hate Time. I despise it. But at the doctor's office it's either Time, Woman's Day, or Golf Digest. Which would you pick?

Time says that the least appealing thing about DR is that he uses local idioms quite often that are either misunderstood or foreign to people listening to it. Frankly, I think that's a positive aspect that separates him from the kitschy hip-hop sound that's so easy to spot.

I'd like to hear b-sides from the album if there were any. Anyone know?

Yeah, his localism makes his songs... I bought the full length yesterday and fell in love with it... So different from what's out there in the hip-hop world as we know it today...

So, thank you Matador... And I hope you guys/gals will be signing more hip-hop acts to the roster soon...

So far I like track 4 the best!

We need a Dizzee Rascal mini-site.

What... these 3 aren't enough for you!

Granted, they could all use some new content...

dizzeerascal.com just needs something more than what is currently available.

I'm thinking that I need to put a fansite together.

Where can get the "Ho" 12 inch? Sorry, I have always wanted to say that.

Put a fansite together!! That would be great.

I've heard that "Ho" and "Go" are still available in the UK, though there are conflicting reports on this.
