Advantages: Catchy, Variety of songs, Great beats, lyrics which make sense. Disadvantages: the adlibs might drive you crazy.
This is the first album from the young threesome act who come under the ‘hip-hop and RnB’ genre of music, although they could squeeze into garage and even a little bit of grime if you want to max it as much as possible. Or in other words Pop with a street smart style (as N Dubz themselves put it)
N Dubz consist of three young people from London, two males and one female who have worked hard to make it in the very hard music industry and I would ... ...of them or their music… if you have heard of them to the point that you have an opinion then they have achieved more then many others trying to represent this kind of music at the moment. The album is a little bit focused on their ‘hard’ life and how they have had to learn from ‘the streets or the slum’ as they put it. But many people don’t realise that some of London’s suburbs are pretty bad and what they talk about it a normal day of life for many ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Too many to mention
N-Dubz are a MOBO award-winning trio of London-based musicians. The 2008 release "Uncle B" is the debut album, after a couple of years of street hype. They perform what is said to be a mix of UK Hip Hop and R&B, but is nothing more than "urban Pop" for the youngsters who follow that sort of music. I haven't enjoyed any of their six singles, and wouldn't considerbuying this, however I did buy it for someone elese, and thought I should share my opinion ... ...looking into individaul tracks since it is all of a geneal poor quality, and any of the tracks share similarities in their arrangement. The whole thing has the same basic form where Nappy, thefrontman raps in a very simplistic way, and attempts to depict several views on the poor sitation which they are faced with when appartently being brought up around Camden Town, and then the singer of the giroup, Tulisa struggles her way through the songs by ...

Advantages: Catchy, well put together, fine example of a good British Group Disadvantages: long time coming
Being a massive hip-hop fan and a Sky user, I was one of the lucky folks to witness the rise in popularity on the British-dominated music channel "ChannelU" (370) of the group known as "Ndubz". Unlike the average UK rap artist(s) they aren't irritating or the sort of fast rappers that grate your brain with their annoying voices (Dizzee Rascal?!). Much more refined and refreshingly catchy, Ndubz are not just a tale of success but a pleasure to listen ... ...some of their more famous tracks and makes them instantly recognisable, but not to the level where it might get annoying.
This, their debut album, contains all the songs we know and love from ChannelU days, like "I Swear", "Ouch", "Better not waste my Time" and the more recent "Papa can you hear me?" which are now lucky enough to be gracing the slightly more popular MTV Base.
The album is very good, in my humble opinion, on those songs alone. Everything ...

Quick review of Uncle B - N-Dubz
N-Dubz is a very cool band, the main singer is cousins with the girl, which makes them one big family!
My favourite song on his new album
Uncle B - I believe referring to his dad, from the cousins POV.
is 'Papa can you hear me'
I strongly recommend listetening to that, if you like that
then you will like 'I swear' and 'Defeat you'!
Which are equally good songs, one of them feauturing Chipmunk!
All by N-Dubz of course!
I would say buy this album and download the music onto your phone MP3 player, etc.
Because the songs have such steady beat-z that they can create a beat and a pulse!
Just by listening to them!
If you like N-Dubz listen to Eminem!
Hope you enjoy their new album and I would recommend buying it and other albms! ...

Advantages: Great songs, both old and new, great vocals Disadvantages: I dont really like the album cover.
I absolutely love this album! I was listening to N Dubz long before their album was even mentioned, so as you can imagine i was extremely excited when the album came out and rushed out to buy it. The album has lived up to all my expectations and more. Its got some of their original tracks such as "I swear" and "Better Not waste my time" as well as their new and unreleased tracks such as "papa" and "secrets". The vocals from Tulisia, Dappy and Fayze, ... ...can listen to them over and over again. I would definitely recommend buying this album, its got some excellent songs and i expect we'll be hearing a lot more from N dubz in the future! . Great for teenagers who love r'n'b, hip hip, grime. Even if you dont like this sort of music, give it a chance, you could be pleasantly surprised :) ...

Advantages: Refreshing combination of singing and rapping, and very good value for money. Disadvantages: It took very long to compile, so how long will it take to make their second?
The Camden based MOBO award winning trio have finally released their first studio album entitled 'Uncle B'. The Album even features their first UK smash hit 'I Swear' that had been the main cause of their success. 'Uncle B' (dedicated to Dappy's father and former N-Dubz manager) combines Rap, singing and unique singing from dappy that creates a music smash. The production of the music and even the album cover is ever so professional, as to why i ... ...old songs on the album such as 'ouch' and 'i swear' is the main reason as to why i have knocked of a star. There is nothing i can say against them because i have liked them since secondary school, as to why i have given it a good rating and not a five as it is not the best album that they could have produced. ...

Advantages: Lyrics are incredible Disadvantages: NOTHING
N-Dubz are an awesome hip hop group from camden I have been waiting for this album for ages litrally since start of 2007 when I frist heard "I Swear" I was blown away by the incredible lyrics. Ever since I have kept well up to date with everything they have recorded such as "Ouch", "Papa (Can You Hear Me)", "Better Not Waste My Time" and Dappy's incredible song "Love For My Slum". I could not believe it when I heard they finally had decided to put ... ...be a very important album for the hip hop world! N-Dubz are the best Hip Hop I have heard in the last couple of years, absolutely excellent. I would advise everyone to pre-order this album and get it the day it comes out because every song on this album is top class.
Features all there songs that have been featured on music channels (through sky) including the song "Defeat You" performed with Chipmunk.
I cannot over emphasise how important this ...

Advantages: Great Sounding Tracks - Very catchy tunes , impressive for a debut album Disadvantages: a couple of tracks are quite same sounding - some tracks are more for teenagers than anyone else!
An amazing debut album from N-Dubz! This is a must have for anybody who is into new modern music it is URBAN music and is also in a Pop music style! so original! They are very good and have a keen sense on what the youth of today will enjoy listening to! A real PARTY ALBUM! I loved it! In my opinion - they are a phenomenal group who produce high quality - original - uk music! there is no stopping them! Very catchy music - and they came from completely ... ...and other awards! The lyrics are of their own life experiences and some are quite personal - they really make you feel as if you know the real them "behind the scenes"! compared to many urban/uk-hiphop albums - this one is fully original i can guarantee you have never heard anything like it before ...
