The Streets sound NOTHING like Blur. Blur are / were good. The Streets sound tone deaf and have absolutely NO musical talent or timing.

But his lyrics are genius

The Streets are superb...

 

no musical talent? Have you listened to his beats?

 

I can understand why you might not like him, but ginge the comments you have said have no basis in fact...

 

So he talks rather than sings... so what?

 

Rappers don't exactly sing do they and even if you don't like that kind of music you can't deny that it has musicality to it...

 

 

Also read the comments- LE was saying that one track sounds a little like one Blur track, and though I hadn't noticed it I can see what he means.

Mike Skinner is a post-modern Lou Reed.
