	The Streets: Original Pirate Material (2002): Reviews
		Original Pirate Material, to put it plainly, is the most vivid evocation of life as a young person in the UK since Blur's Parklife, and yes, even The Clash's first album.
		What 'Original Pirate Material' makes abundantly clear though, is that - whilst Skinner may not be at the very cutting edge of Garage's club soundtrack - he's a man blessed with an astonishing aptitude for pop and a mainline into the Zeitgeist.
		Original Pirate Material is truly one of the most groundbreaking debut LPs released in the last decade and the mainstream success of its successor, ‘A Grand Don’t Come For Free’, is a testament to the impact it had.

	The Streets - Original Pirate Material (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		South London's pirate radio waves are crackling with energy as they disseminate new strains of dub, hip-hop, techno and house all mashed together and united under the irresistible syncopations of 2 Step.
		Original Pirate Material is only a garage record in the way that Paul’s Boutique is a hip-hop record or Bringing It All Back Home is a folk record or the Mona Lisa is an oil painting.
		The relentlessly smart Original Pirate Material blends two-step garage beats with conversational rapping, low-key in effect but bold in content: "We first met through a shared view/She loved me and I did, too." Skinner is from Birmingham, England, which means that some of his monologues sound like Ozzy Osbourne, only with better beats.

	The Streets: "Original Pirate Material" - Salon
		The Streets' debut, "Original Pirate Material," is a blend of garage beats and rhymes delivered in such heavily accented British slang, they require a glossary.
		"Material" is the brainchild of Mike Skinner, a pasty 23-year-old Brit who wrote and recorded it in his bedroom.
		Loaded with social commentary, "Material" paints an honest picture of modern working-class England, a country struggling with "deep-seated urban decay," in the form of high unemployment rates and rising cases of youth violence.

		Had I written this when 'Original Pirate Material' first came out I'd be talking about the from-out-of-nowhere genius of Streets frontman Mike Skinner.
		Original Pirate Material is his 'day in the life of a geezer' album that explores everyday places and situations with an incredible level of detail and familiarity.
		'Original Pirate Material' is pure fucking genius through and through - the most relevant record of our generation.

	BBC - Urban Review - The Streets, Original Pirate Material
		Despite an early passion for hip hop and house Mike was never embroiled in the London's pirate radio scene, in fact he was working in Australia when the UK garage cemented its position in the mainstream.
		By his own admission Original Pirate Material is the "day in the life of a geezer" yet amongst the bitter sweet, inner city anecdotes of drugs, violence, playing computer games, trips to the garage and going clubbing, Mike's best punches are pulled when he is at his most sensitive.
		OPM is an audio snapshot of British Youth Culture (and 4 any others who can relate).

	The Streets: Original Pirate Material - PopMatters Music Review
		A self-described "day in the life of a geezer", Original Pirate Material, to put it plainly, is the most vivid evocation of life as a young person in the UK since Blur's Parklife, and yes, even The Clash's first album.
		With the exception of three short, but creative, interludes, the sound on Original Pirate Material is decidedly minimalist, with bare-bones musical accompaniment that is unobtrusive enough not to distract from the subject matter, yet still manage to provide quality pop hooks throughout.
		To hear Original Pirate Material is to be led through Mike Skinner's neighborhood: past the tenements, the drug addicts, the thugs, the men and women on the dole, the clubs, restaurants, and living rooms where people like Mike bide their time, hoping for their one chance to transcend this scene.

	The Streets - Original Pirate Material - ZeroGain Forum
		Yeah - I knew he was originally from Brummie land, but his accent (thankfully!) doesn't have a trace of the West Midlands in it - it really is quite "London".
		Haven't listened to Pirate material for a while either.
		Pirate material was great because it just described things honestly that many can relate to.

	Virgin Megastores : Original Pirate Material (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Recorded almost entirely on a home studio in his mum's house between 2000 and 2001, 21-year old, 45th generation Roman Mike Skinner grabs hold of the beats and MC-ing conventions of UK garage and twists them into a picaresque epic of breathtaking diversity.
		Rising organically from the streets of Birmingham (and sometimes Brixton) Original Pirate Material is made up of a series of snapshots from the life of an ordinary geezer.
		Using the sparse syncopation of garage as a starting point, the album is fleshed out with great doses of old skool hip-hop, minimal funk, and ska.

	IGN: Original Pirate Material Review
		There is nary a dud amongst the 14 tracks contained on Original Pirate Material, which is something of an accomplishment for a debut album.
		But the preeminent joy in Original Pirate Material is listening to Skinner's melange of Brit slang delivered in his crisply smooth tenor.
		His is a newfound niche of the MC, one that falls somewhere between classic NYC delivery and the rich storytelling spoken word ramblings of such folk legends as Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Arlo Guthrie, counter culture icons like William S. Burroughs, and too many other sonic poets to begin listing here.

	Original Pirate Material Music at Shop Ireland
		Mike Skinner has produced a remarkable antithesis in his Original Pirate Material album.
		Finally, there is someone who speaks about things that the British listener can relate to, namely what it's like in the suburban world of "the geezer." His style is more poetic than anything else, but without dressing up his experiences to be something that they're not.
		Final Word: "Original Pirate Material"'s high points make up for it's (few) low points.

		With sharp rhymes, tongue-in-cheek lyrics and impressive arrangements, Original Pirate Material defines a whole new dimension in urban music.
		The street poet turns to fonk a la James Brown and the Birmingham geezers swing and shake for two and a half minutes.
		Already a strong contender for end of the year accolades, Original Pirate Material has all of a landmark album.

		For starters, most American rap as of lately is sampled hits of the 70's or 80's (sung by a female) with a male rapping over the verses.
		(I know that is a gross generalization, & there are plenty of original rappers, but sadly there's a lot of truth to my statement).
		The Streets' lyrics are brutally honest- mostly the life of a young working class bloke from Birmingham- without a sampled retro melody to be found.

		This band is long gone,but you can find various samplers,EPs,and a Greatest Hits Album only throught OPM Records.

		The Irony of it All is, as you said, amazingly well written; the guy (Mike Skinner, I think hes called?), I've heard him called "The Poet Laureate of London Town", and I think he deserves that, but the lyrics booklet alone isn't worth the price of the CD.
		If Original Pirate Material were a book of a poetry or something similar, it would be top of my list, but its not, and on record it doesn't work.
