Lady Sov

Lady SOV
I don't know either.

Most disappointing album in awhile, well since the new Killers, which I guess isn't really a while. Anyhoo, this is the wonderkid signed by Jay-Z after one freestyle? Well it turns out that she's only got one good line in her. Yeah, she's short and English, that does not a whole album make. Every effing song is one strung out MC battle rap about how she's not pop, she's short and she's got rhymes.

People want to make it sound like Lady Sov is the female the Streets, but she's totally not. Mike Skinner's Britishness didn't make his albums great, his storytelling did. He's got characters and plots and drugs and sex and clubs and actual emotion. And he happens to talk funny. Lady Sov is just short and doesn't even talk that funny. She's not grime, Dizzee Rascal is grime, he talks reeeaaalllly funny.

This is Sporty Spice backed by Jay-Z and Missy Elliott and it's boring.
