The streets - what is it?
a method of payment for drugs in prison that involves no money changing hands in the prison system, the buyer has someone outside of prison (on the street) pay the seller's business partners outside of prison (on the street), thus payment goes street-to-street
“How do prisoners pay for drugs?” Gemma asked.
“The dealer may be paid in store items, you may have someone put money on his books, or street-to-street.”
“What’s street-to-street?”
“Street-to-street means your friends on the street pay his friends on the street, so the money doesn’t even have to enter the prison system. You should hear some of the stories prisoners make up to their family members and friends as to why they need to pay some stranger hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars. Which reminds me, another way prisoners get drugs in is they put up ads at writeaprisoner.com, get women writing to them, develop relationships, sometimes even marrying them, and then sweet-talk them into keystering drugs in to visitation. Books, legal mail, and food visits are also other ways.”

What does "the streets" mean?
AKA Mike Skinner, jumping on the 'grime' bandwagon with his new record label -' the beats', home to the mitchell brothers. Original Pirate material is aaaammmmmmaazing,
But as for 'a grand dont come for free'
It sounds like someone in his management has said;
"Mike, can you make possibly the most Geezerish album ever to hit the shelves, and use fictional scenarios to promote how blokey you are, doesnt matter if you make some shite songs" Due to this album sales of tennants super have risen dramatically and armies of middle class wanker kids, have started fights with TV repair men.
In all fairness 'blinded by the lights' is amazing, i just hate the fucking story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The streets - what does it mean?
Do you remember the song Park Life by Blur? Its got this guy talking over it about everyday life. Quite original wasn't it, a breath of fresh air.
What now happens if you take Blur's Park Life and copy it again and again. The Streets is what happens.
Some brummie(?) with his stupid accent talking again and again about buying the paper and the boring lives we lead over crappy garage style beats.
In the perfect world, this sort of man would be shot, or at the very least, beaten with big sticks. However, this is not the perfect world, and instead of receiving a beatdown, critics laud him, instead of shoving a double barrelled shotgun to his face, they shove awards at his face.
This sort of behaviour has to stop. The Streets are the most overrated thing to besiege mankind since Jesus. I'd rather listen to David Dickinson talk about his crazy antiques than The Streets talk about anything, you should too.
You like the Streets because you're stupid, you're stupid and you smell.
The streets - meaning
in jail, a place less commonly referred to as 'the outside.' apparently where you lived before you came to live there, whether you lived in a house or not.
"yo nigga, i used to know yo ass on the streets"
The streets - definition
A made-up place that was needed for the look of "toughness" in rap songs.
"Yo, nigga, I live in the streets!"
"No, you don't. You live in Narnia or something."
The streets - slang
i really like the rip off of parklife definition but i think its completely untrue.
there are similarities to parklife in the streets but very few. well theres one really, the fact that he talks over a beat, usually a garage style one rather than indie-britpop. and maybe the fact that he talks about everyday life. i really doubt, however, he based his whole career on that one song (but maybe based fit but you know it on parklife)
mike skinner is also an amazing lyricist. he not only talks about everyday life, but talks about everyday life in a really really well written way, especially on a grand dont come for free, which is wonderful and should be studied in schools like shakespear. he manages to write a story about the occurances of an average 20 something man and makes it so gripping you want to cry with happiness at the end.
his music is so down to earth, most people can relate to at least one of his songs.
the streets can lick my arse-not really.
The streets
I often tell my friends there are only two good rappists (sic). "Who, Vanilla Ice and Eminem?" "No, Weird Al and The Streets." There's just something uniquely amazing and beautiful about rapping in proper English.
"Cuttin' the finest cuts of chicken from the big spinning stick"
"Oh the pizza's here, could someone let him in please?
We didn't order chicken.
Not a problem we'll pick it out.
I doubt he meant to mess us about.
After all, we're all men here, not louts."
The streets
most innovative amazing urban artists to come out of the UK for a long time. not many people can relate to their music purely because it is aimed at us working class 18-30 year olds who have tried illicit substances, drank to the brink and got in fights. however Could Well Be In is my fave off the second album and its me and my bfs "Song"! something a bit different, eh???
"i saw this thing on ITV the other week, that if she plays with her hair shes probably keen, shes playing with her hair well regularly, so i reckon i could well be in" Could Well Be In from A Grand Don't Come For Free
The streets
The brit Mike Skinner's group that consists of talking/rapping about everyday problems and life. If you have any depth at all, you'll appreciate the rhymes and content of this music.
But there is just one little thing that's really really, really really annoying me about you, you see, yeah yeah like I said you are really fit, but my gosh, don't you just know it?
