5.0 out of 5 stars A song that says EVERYTHING, September 3, 2002

This is one hell of a song. Ms Dynamite has her finger well and truly on the musical pulse here. This is a song about real Black British urban life, and the lyrics are pulling no punches and taking no prisoners. The tune is totally addictive, it bounces around in your head long after the CD has finished, and you can dance, sway or just foot tap to an incredible funky beat. The first few seconds of the track "it takes more" has an old-fashioned dance hall quality to it, but that is where the similarity ends.

This is a strongly worded song that punches you right in the gut. Lyrics like, "You leave this world alone," and "You're just a racist man's facet" make you realise quickly that this girl knows what she is rapping about. Rap music isn't all about sex, guns and glory, this song puts that all into perspective and what is even better it is FROM a woman's point of view.

Ms Dynamite is simply DYNAMITE. That girl is going places in the music industry, if she doesn't, then there certainly isn't a God! It's great to have a female rap star especially one as smart as this young woman. I like some rap but I hate how a lot of it portrays women as being just sex objects to use and abuse. Like "Gangsta Paradise" this is a song you will never forget.

Her debut single was an amazing one when it came out! When I first heard it, I thought it was an average cuz I wasn't takin' such a good listen to it. But man, it's one of the tightest songs I've heard in quite a while from a female singer/rapper! Personally, she is better than Missy Elliott to me cuz she gives more of a message than what Missy does. I mean this single is hot! I like the lines in her songs "The things that you promote, fightin' violence, like you don't want to grow" and of course the last lines of the chorus "cuz while you braggin' 'bout your badness your just, avoidin' addin' to the reel s**t that's happening to us" It's a hot tune! The B-side "Dy-Na-Mi-Tee" is a also a nice reggae garage track. Ms. Dynamite is da BOMB baby!
