I don't pretend to know much about hiphop history (or much music history in general), but this I know: Roots Manuva is a giant figure in the development of British hiphop, because he was the first to find success whilst being distinctively *British*, not following American styles. Raps filled with British-Caribbean slang, talking about cheese on toast, the poll tax, or in this track, buying a pint at the pub with five quid burning a hole in your pocket.
Writing this has reminded me how much I loved Roots Manuva back then (I did buy the album eventually). Should listen more often.
