Mike Skinner's recordings as the Streets marked the first attempt to add a degree of social commentary to Britain's party-hearty garage/2-step (and later grime) movement. Skinner was initially an outsider in the garage scene. Although his initial recordings appeared on Locked On, the premiere source for speed garage and 2-step from 1998 to the end of the millennium, he listened first to hip-hop, then house and jungle.
The Streets biggest hits include “Blinded By The Lights”, “Dry Your Eyes”, “Don’t Mug Yourself”, “Fit But You Know It”, “Let’s Push Things Forward” and “Has It Come To This”. The iconic Streets catalogue also includes the albums “Original Pirate Material”, “A Grand Don’t Come For Free”, “The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living”, “Everything Is Borrowed” and “Computers and Blues”.

Lyrics:
This ain't the down, it's the upbeat, make it complete
So what's the story? Guaranteed accuracy, enhanced CD
Latest technology, darts hit treble twenty
Huge non-recoupable advance, majors be vigilant
I excel in both content and deliverance
So let's put on our classics and we'll have a little dance, shall we?
No sales pitch, no media hype, no hydro, it's nice and ripe
I speak in communications in bold type
This ain't your archetypal street sound, scan for ultrasounds
North, South, East, West and all round
And then to the Underground
You say that everything sounds the same
Then you go buy them
There's no excuses, my friend
Let's push things forward
You say that everything sounds the same
Then you go buy them
There's no excuses, my friend
Let's push things forward
As we progress to the check point
I wholeheartedly agree with your viewpoint
But this ain't your typical garage joint
I make points which hold significance
That ain't a bag, it's a shipment
This ain't a track, it's a movement, I got the settlement
My frequencies are transient and resonate your eardrums
I make bangers not anthems, leave that to the Artful Dodger
The broad-shouldered fifty-one percent shareholder
You won't find us on Alta Vista
Cult classic, not bestseller, you're gonna need more power
Plug in the three phase and the generator, crank it up to gigawatts
Critics, ready with your pot shots, the plot thickens
Put on your mittens for these sub-zero conditions
But remember I'm just spitting, remember I'm just spitting
Once bitten, forever smitten
You say that everything sounds the same
Then you go buy them
There's no excuses, my friend
Let's push things forward
You say that everything sounds the same
Then you go buy them
There's no excuses, my friend
Let's push things forward
Spit jewels like Eastern riches, junkie fixes
Around here we say "birds", not bitches
As London Bridge burns down, Brixton's burning up
Turns out you're in luck, 'cause I know this dodgy fuck in the Duck
So it's just another show flick from your local city poet
In case you geezers don't know it, let's push things forward
It's a tall order but we're taller, calling all maulers
Back street brawlers, corner shop crawlers, victory's flawless
Love us or hates us but don't slate us
Don't conform to formulas, pop genres and such
Sharp darts, double dutch, parked cars troubles you much
With more bud - let's push things forward
You say that everything sounds the same
Then you go buy them
There's no excuses, my friend
Let's push things forward
You say that everything sounds the same
Then you go buy them
There's no excuses, my friend
Let's push things forward
I’m 45 now and I’m just crying and this tune came up in my ❤and mind ?
46 before the year is up, I hear you brother. 😃
This bloke never got the recognition he deserved.
yea and now look at the amount fo shit talking he is getting on this and other videos since he finally uploaded the full HQ music videos
he did but underrated or not that famous like. only in the UK in the early to mid 2000s
Sean Baggen the imperial Dragon no. Fuck off
@@pyeltd.5457 this shit garbage
Get da fuc out of here
Mike Skinner is one of the great modern poets
A tricky beat...but he slaughtered this. Unpredictable lyricism. That boy good
I remember being in awe, watching this in 2002 on TV
I’m still in awe. 👏🎶
Original Pirate Material- definitely one of the most criminally underrated albums in modern British music
Really just hip-hop it’s so good
It’s a masterpiece for the come down of the 90s
Easily one of the greatest electronic albums ever produced.
Most definitely my friend
Your opinion is very good, for me it's got too be in the top 25 👍🏻
This sounds better now than it ever has.
...as good as ever!
2002: You won't find us on Alta Vista
2021: This song is the only evidence Alta Vista ever existed.
I was 14 in 2002 what was Alta Vista again ?
@@martinomalley6129 it was an online search engine in the vein of Google and Yahoo but nowhere near as popularly used. I believe it didn't last much longer than this song to be honest.
@@shawnmcloughlin42 lol cheers
🔥🔥🔥
Funny thing is that I probably downloaded this song off of there after I heard it for the first time at 14
Who’s listening in 2024
Me, pure British talent
Always ❤
No
Forever!
Yass!!
2024 this was the shit back in the day ❤
When this first came out I was like bloooooown away! The beat is so damn catchy and that accent, I can’t get enough.
You know how old this song is I was 15-16 when I first saw the video. That was almost 2 decades ago. It started my love for British rap and hip hop. And 19-20 years on i still love this stuff.
I wasn't that keen on The Streets when I first heard them, but I can't think of any other artist that has grown on me so much over time. The tracks seem to have stood the test of time and it's sometimes hard to imagine that Original Pirate Material was released 20 years ago! Mike Skinner seems to have captured the essence of England's working class youth, in a way that no one else has been able to, before or since.
STILL SOUNDS GREAT DON'T KNOW WHAT'S TAKEN ME SO LONG TO GET the streets back
I'm proud to say I never lost the faith in Mike its just such an original vibe with lyrics that are straight out of a normal every day man in the street.
Think he's back on the road as the streets again so am hoping to hear some new tunes.
Keep on keepin' on Mike.
DirtyPoochRacing I was too young to listen at the time of release, saw him at a festival last summer and can’t stop listening since
Check out his new song with IDLES
2005, first year of college, playing soccer, Ireland born teammate, opened my ears to The Streets. Never turned back.
If the streets came out in the last couple of years he would be GIGANTIC.
it will take off once someone makes a meme or two
I find this deeply inspiring, even moving. Mike Skinner made art out of the substance of the daily life of so many of us, with wit and humour he came up with something fresh and unique.
I was a Streetie from 15-22 years old, a friend gave me your album ‘original pirate material’ it was so ausum. felt like you could relate with me and helped me so much with my transition into a brand new lifestyle. Thank You so much for everything.
Na Na Na. This tune is straight gutter and criminally underrated. Listen to the bars Mr Skinner is spitting. Damn I miss those days. 👊💯
I remember first watching this video on MTV2. Where the music went
Still listening to this 2021.love it.
Listening to this again, I'd forgotten how awesome it was. Raw and real.
Yank here, everybody says “underrated” but he calls it in the middle there “cult classic”. I was a college radio DJ when a friend of his handed me the record. Still ranks as one of my Top Hip Hop records ever, #1 for that year, and a top 10 on the decade.
Still quality content this many years later. I’m playing this video game (Evony, server 1062, HammerChuck) and my teammates are talking about all the “birds” and I just chuckled and started singing this whole album from the beginning
This ain't a track, it's a movement. YES.
Im a fan of all genres and have no favorite. But I can easily say that Original Pirate Materiel is easily one of my top albums! Genius,!!
Always worshipped this brother - damn ✌🏻❤️🌳😘
the true classic!
this brought me to Mike back then when MTV still played music!
been hooked to the streets ever since!
sad that this true poet stopped making tracks like this!
HenryManson mtv brought me here
That's how I discovered him!! With this song....
Still class in 2018
Hell yeah
Fucking right. I'm 32 now. I used to sit on my bed smoking a phat joint listening to this. Those were the days.

Rumour has it one time Oloff was sat next to Jar Jar Binks on a flight. Jar Jar kept kicking the chair in front of him and generally being obnoxious, nobody knew what to do. Eventually one of the flight attendants came over and asked Oloff if he would perform one of his songs to calm Jar Jar down, and when Oloff began rapping the first verse to Doing It Stealthy, Jar Jar immediately relaxed. To this day the two are still close friends.
This whole album was nice!
TY
This came out to early for its time even if it came out today it would bang
A seriously great rap classic. Especially in Brixton.
I hope you geezers know it! Don't bitch out.
Visionary
I'm a 300lb biker from Texas, I've never cried at a song before but Doing It Stealthy turned me into a blubbering mess.
The first time I heard this I was dumbfounded. Def Jux. This cat was exactly the flow like. Not bitches.
Love this episode of Dr. Who!
CLASSIC!
Still blaze to this choon
Still here.
SOUTHEAST LONDON!
Keep it real
Best ever I love this song so much
I miss the feeling when I first heard you, shit😢😢😢😢
A, for effort. I could never do something like this. Brave...Keep it up, pal.
This is a classic from 2001, he had great recognition back in the days, this clip is just a recent reupload
i heard this on the belgian radio the other day.
