   About The Streets

About

The Streets has been going for 7 years, i think. I've made 4 albums and they are...

ORIGINAL PIRATE MATERIAL
This was an album of rapping that was more like talking, about being young over kind of indie garage beats. It was different at the time because it was so normal and not glamorous in any way. It got me a lot of respect at the time and really allowed me to chase my dreams, which I'd dreamed of doing all my life, which is what Im still able to be doing, if that makes sense.

A GRAND DONT COME FOR FREE
This was a concept album about a young man trying to make it in the world, trying to find something or someone to depend on. It featured my biggest hit, Dry Your Eyes, and was quite down tempo and darker sounding than previous stuff.

THE HARDEST WAY TO MAKE AN EASY LIVING
A piece of truth served up on a platter of pop culture. You may not be able to identify with some of it, but if you want to know what it's really like then this is it. Despite political perception, this is the bravest of my albums.

EVERYTHING IS BORROWED
This will be out on September 15. It's the sound of an inner monologue and imagined beach-like new horizons. It has 11 songs on it which, of course, is the number that solves life itself. Not sure whether 11 is in the Fibonacci sequence but it should be.

THE BEATS
Is dead.

BEAT STEVIE
Is alive. Wayne's World on racket. 3 million hits on YouTube. 2 million viewers on Channel 4. Can't say fairer than that. Short film next. Then a feature.

Dear Skinner of the Streets,
I have a problem I'm hoping you can help me with. For a few weeks now I have been attempting to have sex with this girl in her bottom. Last night I put on ur Love U More song really fucking LOUD to "get her in the mood" and then I asked her if we could try some butt love. And she was like "absolutely NO fucken way man" and I was like "why not? it MIGHT be fun?" and she was like "fuck OFF. i KNOW it will hurt like flaming fuck" and then I was like "well, what if we try some lube or I spit on my dick like those smooth dudes in the pornographic cinema that I make you watch?" and she was like " how about I spit on this dildo and shove it up YOUR arse then??" and I was like "no way man that would be fucking gay" and she was like "so why do you wanna shove your dick in MY arse?" and I was like "im not gay im not fucking GAY not gay not gay" and she was like "yes u fucking are!! ha ha ha you're a repressed homo! you're a repressed homo! ha ha" and I was like "shut up SHUT up SHUT UP YOU FUCKING BITCH" and then I started crying and crying. big heavy deep throated sobs with massive intakes of breath and i was screaming "DADDY DADDY!! WHY? FUCKING WHY????" anyway, Mr Mike Skinner of the Streets. What more can I do to convince girls to do sex in the bottom with me? being a rock star you MUST have anal sex all the time right? with models and homeless people? or would it be better if I asked that Lady Ga Ga bloke because he looks like he sees a lot of rear end action? FUCK it man. Have you got ANY advice? Please?
