LADY SOVEREIGN "Public Warning" Reviews

LADY SOVEREIGN 'Public Warning' cover art
AZRating: 6.4
Users rating: 8.1
(65 votes)
Release: 31 Oct 2006
Label: Def Jam
Genre: Dance Music, Hip-Hop

Jam! Rating: 8.0

Combining Beastie Boys brass with the offkilter delivery and twisted humour of Eminem, the vertically challenged 20-year-old ladette spits rude rapid-fire rhymes over bumptious bottom-heavy grime beats supplied by longtime DJ Frampster.  Full text...


Entertainment Weekly Rating: 7.5

The diminutive rapper's rubbery rhymes and punky energy are definitely entertaining, and well worth sampling in moderate doses.  Full text...


AllHipHop.com Rating: 7.0

No inane skits, corny intros or guests. This album is 12 songs of solid music that showcase the charm and humor that got her a gang of exposure before she even had a record in the states.   Full text...


RollingStone Rating: 7.0

Meet Lady Sovereign, whose frenetic flow and Eminem-like sass have already won the diminutive twenty-year-old a dedicated following in her native U.K. Despite the sponsorship of label boss Jay-Z, Sov doesn't have much in common with most stateside rappers.  Full text...


Slant Magazine Rating: 7.0

The slick, flashy façade that renders tracks like the predictable "Love Me Or Hate Me" and the bland title cut seemingly hollow detracts from the obvious skill of the self-proclaimed "biggest midget in the game," making Public Warning less of an instant classic and more of a promise of things to come.   Full text...


Sputnikmusic.com Rating: 7.0

Did Mike Skinner get a sex change and develop an attitude? No he did not (as far as we know) seeing that this is Lady Sovereign's debut disc, hard beats and fast vocal licks make this, as well as it being enjoyable and its collection of wealthy club hits  Full text...

StylusMagazine Rating: 3.3

It's a relentless parade of botched jokes, awkward choruses, and shiny, peppy synth-pop beats that don't particularly evoke hip-hop or grime.  Full text...

Wow, this is very worth listening, it has original ATTITUDE in the lyrics. Another little angry female Eminem, should I say?


Kat Rating: 10.0

She is an orignal rapper, she aint no eminem! she has one heck of an attitude that rocks and wicked flows. Blah Blah says she isnt '' People wanna classify me as an eminem, but here what im a different kinda specimen, just because i be a white caucasian doesnt mean that me n him are the same, cause 1 im not american and 2 im not a man 3 im coming through with a different kinda plan

She is the best rapper there is. She might be white but that doesn't stop her from being a rapper.For a 21 year old gurl she can rap the hell out of a song!


[[.gangsta gangsta.]] ; ] Rating: 10.0

this album is the best! well it is in my opinion.she really knows her raps and the beats and all that shizznet.lol.but "yayer"[[in her words.means YES.i dunno if i spelled it right]] she is really focused on this rapping stuff and you can tell in her music.she is really,really koo and you can tell she doesnt care what people think."Go on then, go on report me,
I'm English, try and deport me!" oh ya and this too.."Go on then, come on support me,
I'm English, try and deport me!" haha koo koo. lates!!

Ha, I guess I'll be the first user to leave a negative comment. Well, I give credit to Lady Sovereign (sp?) for being original and wanting nothing more to be than herself. I also think that it's great that she raps about something else besides the usual: money and sex. On the contrary, the choruses are pretty weak, and her songs seem to contain the same rhyming schemes and topics. She mentions drinking and her rhyming skills in almost every song! She's young, so maybe her lyrics will expand and mature. We'll see in a year or two when the next CD comes out...

~*DeVoN*~ Rating: 10.0

lady sovereign is one of the best artist's ive heard in a while. She has talent and attitude, and she just is good! no not just good, i think shes one of the best! the only downside is not that many ppl no of her, at least ppl i know. The look at me and say lady who? they havent heard of her, yet. and they dont no what there missing.


A Guy Who Know His Music Rating: 8.0

It's different and a bit refreshing in an industry where all things sound the same. For anyone else the beats and lyrics alike wouldn't mesh well but it seems tied together perfectly by her English accent. Although she hardly rhymes about anything relevant her flow is pretty interesting. Her Eminem-esque humor is good for a laugh. Overall its a solid album and good things are sure to come.

Roxie Rating: 5.0

its okay but too many bad words. i was goign to let my kids listen but after i heard i said forget about it!!!! this was a very bad cd for kids. i like it but not for the kids


maxine Rating: 0.0

no offence "roxie", but obviously u dont no much about kids today. they noe more bad words then you could ever wish to noe and u wouldn't believe the curses that come outta kids mouths at school. its BEYOND ur every day vocabulary. so do u think they care if a CD has swears? hate to be the one to tell you but they probably dont care, hearing the words all the time. anyway, bac to my rating which is 0 but thats becuz i havent bought the album YET so i cant rate it. but lemme say, she's one fisty woman. she's not a "girl", she's 21 and to me thats defently considered a "woman". as for her music, i like the songs blah blah, love me or hat me, public warning, hoodie, random, 9 to 5...yea. my only problem is some of her music videos are too similar such as random and blah blah. Her musics good but less of the "it's lady soveriegn time!! uh uh uh uh's" and more actual content. she's defently entertaining though..


christine Rating: 10.0

She's just awesome!i love her!(and she thank's me for that!(love me or hate me))!I hope she keeps on with the good work!


Raven Rating: 8.0

I've gotta say, I'm no hip-hop/rap fan by any stretch of the imagination, but Sov's definitely got something going on here. Tango, Hoodie, Love Me or Hate Me... she doesn't just sing those, from what I've seen of her she LIVES those philosophies, unlike other female musicians in popular music. You've got women like P!nk who say that hypersexuality is the driving force in a female musician's fame, and yet look at her single's covers (even the cover for the Stupid Girls single!) and there she is exposing herself in a sexual manner... doing what she says females shouldn't have to do to get attention.

Sov, she defends the hoodie, and it shows in her styles and her image. She's grungy and lively... and a fresh idea in a genre that I feel has stagnated since the mid 1990s.

While her wording is similar in many of her songs, I'm more than willing to stay tuned, because she really does have something big to say beneath all of those verbal pauses. I must say, Lady Sovereign's given me hope for this style of music, and I only hope that she can hone these lyrics of hers into something revolutionary.


Val Rating: 9.0

its sad that some don't recognize talent i female rappers, give her som credit!

I never heard of Lady Sovereign up until April 30th When she opened for Gwen Stefani. I was there with two of my friends. My one friend didn't like her at first(but changed her mind after the second song) me and my other friend fell in love with the girl instantly!Her attitude is real and her music is all her... she is original and knows how to keep it real! She is amazing ! She threw everyone when she did Public warning... It was amazing. I bought her album and have been rocking it for the past three days!! Loves her!!!
