At some point, I will either get why they're good, or, more likely, have a massive rant about why The Streets, or, more specifically, the song Dry Your Eyes is a total sham. A couple of wee comments to be going on with:

1. Rhymes must rhyme
2. Lines must scan
3. The word order should not be perverted to serve the rhyme
4. The imagery shouldn't be created purely to serve the rhyme

I know that these are not hard and fast rules in art... but the more they are ignored in a single song, the more they get in the way of the message. The above song goes on forever, and I've heard DJs cooing over it... so far it's just annoyed me.
