Juggle Tings Proper [12" VINYL]

Search: Juggle Tings Proper
by: Roots Manuva

Release Date February 22, 1999
It's hard to pick fault. UK hip-hop is so so underrated. UK hip-hop is the hip-hop that was bullied as a kid and locked in the cupboard. These are probably the two best cuts from a great album. "Juggle tings proper" has a beat and hook that will have you hooked on the first listen and playing it until your friends lock you in your room. The lyrics are tight, on point and a healthy mix of humour and depth. "All these, ugly mans on my Tv screen/Wrap my head in foil-so i don't catch their beams" - How can you not love that? "Strange behaviour" has a good storytelling theme behind it, and the story is as easy to follow as the American story tunes that every actually recognises like "Children's Story" (Slick ...

Brand New Second Hand

Search: Juggle Tings Proper
by: Roots Manuva

Release Date March 22, 1999
This is definitely one of the most original albums produced in the history of UK urban music and for this reason I don't think it received the wider exposure it deserved. It's an comforting deep bassy sound, which is almost unique in my experience, one which completely mesmerized me 8 years ago, and still does today. I don't think he ever really improved on this personally, though others may feel the album is a bit disjointed. I have to say the second track 'dem phonies' does my head in and is probably worth 1 star at best, but the rest is fantastic, especially 'Inna', 'Strange Behaviour', 'Motion 5000' and 'Oh yeah'. It's getting on a bit now, but classics never really age and this certainly hasn't. It will always be one of my favourite ... Read More:

Peace Not War

Search: Juggle Tings Proper
by: Various Artists

Release Date June 02, 2003
I was so glad to see this album when it came out. I bought it straight away. I was becoming increasingly frustrated at the music industry shying away from political lyrics. In the eversince the end of the Thatcher era, policital music had all but died out of the mainstream, and yet there has so much to write about, regardless of your political idealogies.
So, like I said, when this came out I lept onto it, and was pleased to see so many new and old faces that I liked. You couldn't get more of a mix of genres. It's not just Billy Bragg-esque folk/pop/rock, but hip-hop and rap, dance, in fact most areas are catered for, so in that sense, it might not be to everyones taste, but for me, it was a breath of fresh air!
