    A young boy in Richmond, Virginia discovering this song via Limewire in 2003. STILL BANGS. The wormhole that got me to UK garage, 2 step, jungle, dub, grime, and UK Hip-Hop. Peace to Mike Skinner! Shouts BBC 1Xtra, (ChoiceFM RIP) and CapitalXtra.

    Love how music can put you right back in a moment from years gone. Grew up with The Streets and rediscovered them again 10 years ago. Used to drive to my ex girlfriend uni in Brum, park up with a few stellas and some bud and listen to the The Streets with her. Thought we were untouchable and our love would never end. Still listen to The Streets now. Timeless

    First time I listened to this tune it stuck with me for years, ever since I was young I got bullied and I was so scared of being disliked, all I wanted was someone to say something nice to me but my parents were so busy at the time, I was alone.And so I stuck to standards set by people so much that I wasn’t myself anymore. by the start of my teenage years, I completely broke to pieces, no one knew exactly who I was. And after failed a possible attempt, I lost empathy for everyone. I’m a bit older now, I’m still listening to The Streets, this song has been with me since recovery. Thank you Mike Skinner so much.

    I'm a kid, well 20 and whilst for many of you the streets is about nostalgia of old times for me their tunes, especially this one, is a little different. For me when I'm going out down the high street with my headphones on or something like that, this song is like the perfect "feel" for it. To me the streets is just London grey moody weather, everyone doing their thing but kinda being somewhere in between annoyed and chilled out vibes, all summed up musically. In other words, the music is literally the sound of the streets no pun intended.

    Mike was so beyond his time. Phrases you hear loads these days were first used by him. His album paved so many genres, even paved the way for D&B in dont mug yourself and that’s why his strange mix was so loved

      It is more about the context, I am assuming UK/British censoring (along with USA censoring) omits any use of drug usage, most likely for the sake of it being the habits 'misused'.

    Found The Streets "browsing" for music back in the Napster days. It was 5th grade when I accidentally found Irony of it All. Consequently discovered Original Pirate Material, I was 12 then in Buffalo NY. Still blasting Skinner 15 years later on my way to a Buffalo Bill's game. His music makes up some of my favorite bangers of all time. Always wondered what kind of impact The Streets had in the UK because virtually no one knows them in my area
