**Three Stars**
To kick us off, we ... ...males in the UK that they have to realize that the world is bigger than the area that they live in , because this is what s letting them down. If
these people expand, then they can move on from the detrimental things which are holding them back in life.
I like that he was doing something in order to spread his experience to people who perhaps wouldn't realize this otherwise. As it is an inspiring track, it is quite uplifting when you listen to ...

You Dizzee Blud? Review ofMaths And English (Parental Advisory) [Digipak] - Dizzee Rascalby
nathaninnit
Advantages: Fans should appreciate it Disadvantages: Not a step forwards
...with a powerful track, and Maths & English begins with a sound that sounds like a hoover gone wrong. About 30 seconds in, Dizzee's destinctive voice kicks in, and whilst the beat does not vary at all throughout the song by changing the tone of his voice the song gets slightly more interesting around the chorus. The track is about, you guessed it, the world outside of the 'hood'. Anyone who's not a fan will not be pursuaded to be a fan by this track, ... ...or should I say the maths and english. THREE STARS.
FLEX - "I love it when you move like that."
Track Seven - 3mins 31secs
The album is really in a happy mood at this point and the song is all about watching your girl flexing, and how inviting and exciting it is. Another feel good song, and seems quite uninteresting however about half way through it tries to regain your interest again and does it quite well. A semi-romantic song. THREE STARS. ...

Background information on Dizzee Rascal:
Dizzee Rascal is ... ...much varitey, such as eclectic mixture of garage and hip-hop beats with an extremely broad palette of influences, ranging from metal guitars to found sounds, drill and bass synth lines, eclectic samples and even some Japanese court music.
This album is my favorite album by the rapper, because it includes the track "Bubbles" I love the beat, and the lyrics within this track:
"I like money money money, girls girls, cash cash, I'll let the champagne ...

Advantages: Lyrically and musically diverse. Disadvantages: some weak songs. not as good as showtime.
...On the other hand Maths and English still retains Dizzees distinctive offbeat sound and well delivered interesting lyrics detailing his life and the lives of those around him. I think that Dizzee was attempting to do what Mike Skinner and the Streets achieved with a Grand Dont Come For Free. Trying to widen the fan base dramatically after the underground success of Pirate Material.
I think it is clear that Dizzee has not succeeded yet. But the album ...

Additional notes
Album Notes: Nearly a year after it was released in the U.K. to substantial commercial and critical praise, MATHS + ENGLISH, the third full-length studio album from East London MC Dizzee Rascal, appears stateside thanks to Definitive Jux. Dizzee's rapid-fire rhyme acrobatics remain as fierce as ever over a slew of frenzied, neck-snapping garage tracks. MATHS & ENGLISH sees Dizzee collaborating with Lily Allen, Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys, and Houston rapegends UGK. This U.S. release on Definitive Jux also features an exclusive El-P remix of "Where's Da G's."
Album Reviews: Alternative Press (p.137) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[B]acking up his double-time vocals are sparse, bass-heavy beats full of electronic elements..."
