It's not rap so much as it is spoken word over garage beats. I've never heard Mike Skinner refer to himself as a "rapper".
I don't like "Original Pirate Material", but "A Grand don't come for free" is a pretty decent album. What impresses me is the way Mike manages to take the ordinary and mundane and put it into a song. These are everyday songs for everyday people, stuff about your phone battery dying, flirting with girls or arguing with someone in the pub about the dangers of cannabis against the dangers of alcohol.
