Sharp as a splinter indie hip-hop in unreleased Dizzee Rascal-sampling version.
Indier-than-thou lyrics, fucked-about beats and Dizzee Rascal yelping - what more do you need?
This version was circulated before their album came out and features a sample from 'Fix Up Look Sharp' by Dizzee Rascal. Presumably he wouldn't give them clearance as this isn't the version that appears on their debut album 'Angles'.
Given that they pretty much diss him for cosying up to the "pop charts" maybe that's not such as surprise. Lord only knows what Scroobius Pip made of 'Bonkers' if he thinks that 'Fix Up Look Sharp' is commercial!
Dizzee-baiting aside, Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip represented a fresh sensibility in 'UK Hip Hop' - in the same vein as Ruthless Rap Assassins - fusing thoughtful lyrics with an eclectic sample pallette, taking in indie music influences like Radiohead's 'Planet Telex'.
It's also pertinent to point out that 'Fixed' also sampled 'The Big Beat' by hair-toting rock monster Billy Squier.
Good value.
