Original Pirate Material is the debut album by the English rapper and producer Mike Skinner, under the name The Streets. The album is a unique take on UK garage and has lyrics dealing with everyday circumstances and occurrences. The album originally rose to #12 on the UK Albums Chart in 2002, and then peaked at #10 in 2004 after the release of the second Streets album A Grand Don't Come for Free. The album received critical acclaim; in March 2003, NME placed Original Pirate Material at number 46 on their list of the '100 Best Albums of All Time'.[1] They subsequently placed Original Pirate Material at number 9 in their list of the '100 Best Albums of the Decade'.[2]Observer Music Monthly ranked it as the best album of the 2000s.[3]
In the United Kingdom, four singles were released from Original Pirate Material: 'Has It Come to This?', 'Let's Push Things Forward', 'Weak Become Heroes' and 'Don't Mug Yourself'.

Background[edit]
Skinner has stated that his main early influences were from the United States, in particular Wu-Tang ClanMCs such as Raekwon and RZA, as well as east coast rapper Nas's album Illmatic. However, Skinner attributes the album as emerging from the UK garage scene of the late 1990s.[4] His stance when making the album was to combine the UK garage sound with a lyrical content about 'all the little adventures you go on' rather than the style of UK hip hop, which he accused of being 'someone from Reading pretending to be Biggie or Q-Tip'.[5]
Journalist Simon Reynolds identified the album's lyrical content as capturing UK Garage's 'submerged reality' as a genre not based in nightclubs. Outside of London in the late 1990s, UK Garage was rarely played in clubs but was instead found on pirate radio stations, reflected by the album's title.[6]
Recording[edit]
The recording of Original Pirate Material lasted over a year, with Skinner recording the bulk of the album in the room he was renting in a house in Brixton in south London.[7] The instrumental tracks were created on an IBMThinkPad, while Skinner used an emptied out wardrobe as a vocal booth, using duvets and mattresses to reduce echo.[8] Direct influences on the album included the 2000 film Gladiator which spawned the lyrics to 'Turn The Page', the opening track to the album.[9] He eschewed analogue recording equipment and recorded and mixed the album entirely on Logic, a digital audio workstation.[10]

Skinner and Original Pirate Material were hailed by the British music press upon release. NME claimed the album 'represents a brilliant break with cliché... he's one of the most original pop voices for years... By turns dark, funny and heartbreaking, the songs on Original Pirate Material are snapshots of ordinary life as a young Midlands resident, set to innovative two-step production: tales of love, going out, being skint, getting drunk, and eating chips. It's Streets by name, and streets by nature, and it's great.'[17] Calling Skinner a 'vital new voice' and describing Original Pirate Material as 'starkly observed vignettes', Q said that 'this debut wittily and wisely documents young lives spent in piss-poor pubs, estate bedrooms and kebab shops... It could easily, but somehow never does, degenerate into the kind of 'street poet' blather TV news editors think spices up election coverage.'[23]Mojo said that Skinner 'favours a winningly downbeat brand of urban realism, set to minimal, pounding drums... A lot of his urban vignettes fall somewhere between 'The Message' and The Specials' 'Ghost Town'. But their very ordinariness and the brutish, unadorned simplicity of the music is part of their appeal, evoking the everyday tedium of real 'youth culture'... A uniquely British voice.'[24]
Spin stated, 'Mike Skinner, a.k.a. the Streets, could be the most gifted rapper London has ever produced, except that he doesn't really rap – he pontificates, spins spoken-word yarns, and kicks running commentary. Hip-hop – and Britain's equally bling-fixated 2-step-garage scene – has shaped Skinner's sound, but he's too earnest to reproduce their bluster. He's an observant, asphalt-level 'geezer' – Brit slang for everyman – set apart by the sharpness of his lens, not the force of his flow. On Original Pirate Material, Skinner nails the quiet desperation of the white working class like a pub-hooligan Marshall Mathers, with all of Slim Shady's good humor and none of his insanity.'[20]
Contemporary reviews for the album commented on its DIY aesthetic and lyricism. A review in Stylus Magazine stated that the album 'combines the boy-next-door DIY of US garage rock with the sound of UK garage and displays an alchemic ability to turn the humdrum of everyday life into a record that is at times empowering, hilarious, melancholy, awkward, and charming.'[25]
