Tinie Tempah uses his aunt's place as a wardrobe
Hip-Hop Isn't Dead, Up-And-Coming Acts, Video
Braggage is an accepted part of the rap “game”, but it tends to be much more compelling when it’s done with a subtle sense of humour. Tinie Tempah seems to recognise this, as he shows in his soon-to-be-sizable-if-it-isn’t-already-I-dunno-I-don’t-keep-track-of-the-charts-these-days tune, “Pass Out”.
“I got so many clothes I keep some at my aunt’s house” is probably my favourite bit, but there’s a pleasing rags-to-riches feel to “now I drive past the bus I used to run for”, as well.
Love the track too, although in my ‘umble I think the hook/chorus/whatever - sung by a chap in a fetching checked jacket - interrupts the songs’s momentum a bit. The drum n’ bass outro suggests there should be some decent remixes out there as well…
