Opinion/Review/Notes
Dan le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip - Angles, was one of my favourite albums for quite some time, so I had high hopes for Pips solo work. His lyrics and how they're delivered are flawless as ever, and his content has a bit more substance than most claim-to-be Rappers, but the album as a whole is just not for me, or is it?
A second listen to the album whilst writing this nonsense, has led me to a less critical opinion, his lyrics alone automatically qualify for a second listen
Pip is very angry, and the beats seem to mirror that, my fiancee walked in the room, and asked "What the hell are you listening to?" The first track on the album is the best for me, the remaining tracks contain a LOT of repetitive chorus's. However, the lyrics to Death of the Journalist should be listened to (Video Below).
Doubt you would want to listen to this during a romantic meal, but need some motivation, then that's another story
