Amazon.co.uk Review
Dizzee Rascalrsquo;s career has been on the rise since it started. After winning the Mercury Prize with his brash debut emBoy In Da Corner/em, the rapper's brand of edgy council-estate rap has increasingly become aware of mainstream tastes, and his fan base has grown wider accordingly. On emTongue N Cheek/em, Dizzee finally does way with the gnarly 8-bit bleeps of his album Showtime and the swagger of emMaths+English/em to reach fully for the pop crown. Fun, infectious singles "Dance wiv Me"--featuring RB singer Chrome and disco don Calvin Harris, "Holiday" and "Bonkers" (featuring Armand Van Helden) have all landed high in the UK charts, and are solid indicators of the rest of the album. Slick production, catchy hooks and a mainstream club atmosphere are in abundance here as the rapper delivers a relentlessly upbeat mix of street tales and good, dirty fun on "Road Rage", "Money Money" and the stomping "Dirtee Cash", (which utilises 1990 hip-house smash "Dirty Cash (Money Talks)". While itrsquo;s true that a certain amount of Rascalrsquo;s former complexity has been sacrificed to achieve this new feel-good sound, he thankfully goes beyond girls, money and video games, delivering constant witty wordplay and talking about politics and the recession on tracks like the Aswad-sampling tune "Canrsquo;t Tek No More". Slower jams like "Freaky Freaky" (about having sex on council estate landings) and "Chillinrsquo;wiv da Man Dem" (which has a laid-back G funk feel) are there to provide respite but this is unapologetically a party record--and a flippinrsquo; great one at that.

Most excellent album by Dizzee. All the No. 1 singles are on it, plus a load more No. 1`s! Fantastic songs. I like the `Dirtee Cash` cover. Road Rage is brilliant too. All in all a really good album. Anyone who disagrees needs their brains examined big time!

Great album - much anticipated and well worth the wait. Tried and tested hits like Bonkers, Dance Wiv Me and Holiday - and some on there waiting to drop that will surely be huge too.

You know you're in for it when an album starts with such a huge club favourite as `Bonkers', and so it is with Dizzee Rascal's 4th album. Mr Rascal was the leader of the British grime scene winning the Mercury Music prize with his debut `Boy in da Corner'. It seems appropriate then that he is the first to graduate to the mainstream so successfully. The opening track, `Dance Wiv Me' and recent single `Holiday' all dropped straight into the No. 1 spot in the charts and yet throughout the album Dizzee's recognisable style holds firm on tracks like `Road Rage', `Freaky Freaky' and `Money, Money'. Pop sensibilities are laced throughout it all and are perfectly balanced. Other than the hugely successful singles further highlights come from `Can't Tek No More' and `Dirtee Cash'. This is a solid album which nicely balances pop influences and Dizzee Rascal's grime roots. It should keep long term and new fans pretty happy.
