That sounds the same as Skeng..And Ganja..And Warning...And Jah War.
It obviously doesn't otherwise it would be called Skeng...or Ganga...or Warning....or Jah War.

If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it unless you have more to back up your opinion.
Listen to them, there is now denying they sound extremely similar.
Similarities - but not extreme ones at that. Wouldn't dare say they are the same either. Maybe you should open up to a deeper understanding of music.

Haha, I listen to a lot of music. Even non dubstep

Then why be so broad on generalising one artist and an mc?

Err, because all of those tracks I listed sound the same to me. Flowdan seems to only have one flow, and the actual backing tracks use very similar elements and have an almost identical rhythmic structure.

I'm kinda on the fence

I fucking love the tune & always will do

the video is quite cool in parts..the skeleton bit is good...it's obviously going to help the bug sell records if it you know...appeals...hence it is a little cliche

and stampin' has a totally different feel to it...this is far more brooding whereas stampin' is up front & well..bangin'

@ datura...do you honestly not like the drums & overall space of this tune?

I understand if the vocals annoy you as I can see why they would (although I just think it sounds cool) but the production is amazing...do you like the kode9 mix?

I am not even being smart but isnt that poison dart with a diff vocal.

Once again not being smart just think there is a mixup with this being a "new" tune.

Yes it is. But I prefer the vocals on this one.

Nah not feeling this video at all, it is boring and cliche. With the backing of ninja tune would have hoped for something more creative to match the music.

you forgot

5. Dazzle audience with array of gold teeth

Hmm, very shitty video, pointless making it aswell, it's been out for ages.

i've imagined better music videos whilst listening to this track walking through town in a daze.

anyone notice how big flowdans fingers were?

you must have a lot of opinions and nothing to give.

i am sorry you felt alienated by the content, maybe they'll put some morris dancers in the next one to reach out to the other half of the fan base.
