Roots Manuva - UK Rap.....(it is Thursday)

Posted over 2 years ago
Witness..Roots Manuva (born Rodney Smith, 1972) is a rapper from Stockwell, South London. The lyrics of his songs are usually known to take a distinctly British edge, with many critics highlighting his references of eating cheese on toast and drinking bitter as examples of this. His warm and easily recognizable voice can be heard on many songs he performed with other artists such as Chali 2na (of Jurassic 5 & Ozomatli), DJ Shadow, U.N.K.L.E., Nightmares on Wax, The Cinematic Orchestra, Beth Orton, Leftfield and most recently Coldcut. He also made an appearance on the Gorillaz latest album, Demon Days, lending his distinctive vocals to the track, "All Alone"..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots_Manuva.http://www.rootsmanuva.co.uk/rootsmanuva/.Too Cold..Filling in the gaps. No.98http://mog.com/Neill/blog_post/29537.Thanks to ciaran, Timbo, cubikarubik, cipha and Kate.

  1. Kate says I'm a little confused as to the meaning of "Filling in the Gaps." Do you just call all your posts this, 'cause I know of a ton of posts about Roots Manuva, so what gaps exactly are you filling? By the way, I am not trying to be rude, just wondering how exactly this works.

  2. Neill says What I usualiy do is a search in the Artists at the top right of this page and if no one has posted or the is little or no video or music examples, I will do a post. Sorry Kate, but I can't see anything from you although you have posted a few comments. Anyway, RESPECT has been given! LOL!

  3. Kate says Oh, no, I wasn't saying I made a Roots post, just confused as to how you determine whether or not to call something "filling in the gaps." Thanks for clearing that up.

  4. Kate says And I didn't mean to say you need to give props to everyone who posted about him, I guess I was just interested in your criteria. So RESPECT to you for taking it upon yourself to fill in the gaps!

  5. mickimicki says Love that guy. Great rapper. I have only 2 of his albums and some miscellanous tunes, but these I love. (_Multiplycation_ might be in order... I got Dub Come Save Me and Run Come Save Me, and a version of him doing "The Message"... ;-)

  6. Anna says For the record, I think Kate was trying to be rude, and she did mean that you need to give props to everyone who posted about them.
