Skinnyman, not to be confused with Skinner (Mike),

Skinnyman, not to be confused with Skinner (Mike), who also produced a UK rap concept album this year. Council Estate Of Mind is a huge worthy polemic on the opportunities available to youths on inner city council estates which comes bundled with a pretty well argued essay in the sleeve notes. Unfortunately for Skinnyman his raps are bookended with rather large excerpts from the soundtrack of Made In Britain, included to help emphasise Skinnyman?s point. The excerpts are far too successful at this, after a couple of listens I wanted to hear Tim Roth’s anti-social anti-hero more that Skinnyman?s raps. So I put the Made In Britain video on instead.
