Skepta - Been There Done That

Merry Christmas grime fans.

Perhaps it's a sad indictment of my life currently that I'm typing this instead of being buried in beer down the boozer. But some thoughts were circulating about Skepta's next release late last night, so I reasoned that I may as well channel them so I can eat turkey, unwrap yet more toiletries, and just basically get on with my day.



I think Skepta is one of the more interesting characters in the scene - his back-catalogue and topboy status, the see-saw of his two albums, and his direction over the last few years with sights at commercial coinage.

'Greatest Hits' wasn't quite what we were expecting, but it was a fair effort and, with the added luxury of hindsight, there were bangers and an exploration of concepts that boded well for future releases.

This year's 'Microphone Champion' arguably had more bangers, but thrown into the mix were conspicuous singles. It seemed to me to be unsure of what it was - Sweet Mother and Blood Sweat and Tears was the past and road rap features the here and now; Ed Hardy Party clashed with Look Out. Like his first CD, there wasn't any middle-ground.

Basically, I reckon Skepta has a really good album in him - in terms of production and lyrics - but he hasn't done it yet after a debut that hinted the right way. In some places, he took a big step back.

But for now we have a mixtape interlude and, despite the tracklist for 'Been There Done That' not being finalised yet, you're looking at something like this:


1. Been There Done That
2. Spit Big Bars
3. Blow My Own Trumpet
4. All Over The House (Feat. Shorty & Majestic)
5. Over The Top 2 (Feat. Bloodline)
6. English Breakfast
7. We Don't Give A Fuck (Feat. Juelz Santana)
8. B O Double S (Feat. Fem Fel & Julie)
9. Solo's Back (Feat. BBK)
10. Stupid (Feat. Wiley)
11. Nokia Charger Wire
12. No Love For The Other Side

Bonus Instrumentals

13. Private Caller 2
14. UFO
15. Autopsy
16. Red Bull Academy


A good tracklist, this is mostly an organic collection of tracks over time that concentrates on and caters for us. Underground bangers and big riddims? While 'Greatest Hits' and Microphone Champion' were questionable, you can't argue with this one - he has been there, done that.

I've on all occasions liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to good of just fritter away space staring at it as a formality of catharsis. In a course, it helps me with meditation, to free stress and strain and scarcely think just about nothing. That's why since I was a kid, in place of of dolls and cars I've always at ease more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, dulcet boxes etc. So I was most pleased when I found the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Light Show Laser Ace Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the Toys section. It's like a tuneful thump, a spinning head, and a radiance verify all rolled into one. Which is great relaxation! The gyroscope transfer concoct for about a minute. The laser enlightenment show with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a measure incomparable fiddle with that my friends get also been most amused with.

My dogs are also beautiful curious around the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They always attend the gyroscope as it spins, although at first they kept barking at the laser slight show, and also because it produces music. But after they got employed it, they've stopped barking but simply watch over following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also bonny amused by it. On occasion it's meet to maintain pleasing toys throughout the house so that you can desert the toy on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you live get up scoff or sock changed. The gyroscope is a particular such toy with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a pattern on it, and produces a light show with red, obscene, and unskilled colours. Take a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser incandescence show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that enormous but decorous enough to consider any supplementary roomer to the house. The gyroscope is red and jet-black, making it look very coolth, and measure masculine with that dragon imprint.

The music light plain gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also acclimatized this gyroscope to eye-opener my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy matter of decorating the hostelry room with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as correctly so that the laser brighten show produces a dreamed-up effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the sunrise effects created a sort of romanticist atmosphere. She loved it, by the style, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my default shopping site in favour of all gifts and ideas in support of romanticist occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser go down show gyroscope can possibly be a momentous Christmas gift seeking the toddler or methodical the favoured! Alternatively, the gyroscope can simply be a kindly reckoning to the established Christmas decorations. I can imagine placing it within a mile of the Christmas tree and perchance spinning it when guests arrive in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my business thus far again!
