So Solid Crew - They Don't Know

2001 debut album for UK act glibly tagged the Wu Tang of garage. A hard, rough mixture of garage, drum & bass & hip-hop with deep, dark beats for the in-your-face lyrics of their small army of MCs (the group has 30 members). Highlights include their number one hit, '21 Seconds', 'Oh No' (Remix) & 'Woah'. 20 tracks from one of the UK's most ambitious young urban groups. Album Description

What a joke!

This band is a total joke! There are about 30 people who think they are 'solid' that sing about a load of rubbish. Their music is repetitive, predictable pop/rap/garage... whatever crap genre you want to call it. These are the kinda people (bands) who are just wrecking music history in general. Buy it if you want a good laugh. June 20, 2004

I don't get it.

I didn't see any bad reviews by Americans on this CD. However, as an American I can say that this CD has a lot of appeal. I'm actually a West-Indian-American so there's something about the the Caribbean tinge to some of the tunes that appealed to me. Their slang is similar to that of American Hip-Hop, yet placed in their own wicked stylee. 'Nuff props to the So Solid Crew. Big up to the GT posse reppin' in the UK...big up to my cousins dem, I hope to see and meet y'all at the Notting Hill Carnival this year. "Buyackasha!" as Ali G would say. May 6, 2003

I got 21 seconds to write a review.

Actually, there's no way that 21 seconds would be enough time to describe how talented these guys are. The Crew is definately number one as far as all UK Garage / 2 Step artists go. Songs like Ride Wid Us, 21 Seconds, They Don't Know, and Haters blaze with fury... This group will take any Rap lover, and even some Rap haters like me, absolutely by STORM~! Buy this album. Trust me. April 15, 2003

this is horrible

Woke up one morning, brushed my teeth, had a shower, and off i went to town, picked up the new so solid crew cd, merrily went off home to go and listen to it. Got home fed the budgie went upstairs and put the cd in the cd player.
I was shocked, I was flabbergasted, the cd player wasnt working. After a couple of minutes i realised it wasnt plugged into the mains. Anyway off i went listenin to the cd.
It started off with a song called haters. By the time this song ended i had gone from liking this group of wanabee gangstas to hating them myself. Terrible song.
Then there was "oh no". Yep thats exactly what i was sayin wen i heard the remix to it. OH NO WHAT THE [HECK] IS THIS ***!!!
Then the 21 seconds song. Now picture this i have been tortured for 35 minutes so far by listenin to this cd. Then im given this song. ive tried being patient and ive tried being reasonable but this song made me lose it.
This cd should be used for boxers at the start of their fights cos it would really get them wound up or maybe instead of the electric chair put the criminal in a room wid this cd playing.

worst album ever December 4, 2002
