Do you like it at all? What do you think are the best acts? Is it going to be big this year, next year, or is it going to die? Tell me what you think! Me, personally i love it, especially for the beats. Most grime lyrics i've heard are stupid, but thats not really the point. I love the energy. My personal favourites: Lethal Bizzle/fire camp: Really, some of the worst lyrics in grime, but excellent beats. Forward riddim (Pow) is a grime classic already. I really like his stuff. Heres a vid for forward riddim 2. Really weird beat, needs to be listened to loudly: Reallion: Fresh beats. Lethal B also has his hands on this Dizzee rascal: I think "boy in da corner" is a great album. The quiet moments are really good at times as well. Link to one of my favourite tracks with dizzee: Thats enough for now. Let me hear what you think. |

Thats dancehall |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that fire camp thing... they really should have turned the tempo down about ten bpm, because they couldn't keep up with the beat. that's really annoying. |
||||||||

grime = crap end. |

I heard theres actually a french grime scene. What that about? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
these rappers all have annoying voices and suck at rapping. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah there's a french grime scene, it sucks a lot as well ! they rap nonsense, that could be funny but they are wack mc's and their beats are not very good imo check TTC - "dans le club" though, it's good and the lyrics are very funny ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just think, for people who like electronic music, grime has some cool beats compared to a lot of music out there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're right about that. but they ruin it by rapping in high-pitched yapping puppy voices about lizards and stupid shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Its an acquired taste i guess, the british accent. Its also works great live i think. Check out this clip from Kano live. Craaaaaap sound qaulity, but you get the idea: Its starts of with a different track, and gets into some hard stuff, that really explodes at a point. Checkit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also, notice in that clip, theres a guy with a white cap who is completely glued to the ground. Hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't even know what grime is :-/ |
||||||||
|
|

And check out the clips |

"The grime scene is growing in France as well. The major UK players started coming in for some hectic sets during the end of year 2005. Some crews initially from the hip hop and the garage scene are producing tracks & releasing mixtapes: EGO6 , Audiomicid , ResoFantom/Dj Absurd , DJ Alsott, [[]]. RAW-T are massive in France compared to their home town." I wonder if their howetown has more than 110 inhabitants cause I've never heard of them ! |

Anyway I don't know if what i like is called grime or if it's called 2 steps or whatever, but i like emalkay, kode9.....and ESPECIALLY toasty |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Toasty & emalkay are both awesome, that bassline on "the knowledge" is fucking monolithic. Nice vex'd remix too. Kode9 i'm not so into, not the tunes he's done with the space ape anyway... that herby-mysticism patois he does gets right on my nerves. I don't think any of them are really grime though, dubstep really. I'm not quite sure how to feel about a lot of "proper" grime stuff, it's really in-yer-face but quite subtle at the same time. Beats-wise i think it's a bit like electro, in that it's easy enough to pull off something that "sounds grimey" but really hard to find that special something to set it above the rest: point being, there's a lot of really mediocre 8-bar sine-wive bassline cack out there that sounds like it's being played through a phone speaker. But i don't think Production Values or whatever are the point... Just listen to something like "anger management" by d double e. Mostly unintelligible, overdriven and clipping to buggery, but there's something just really, really heavy about it. I think accusing grime of being shite because the rhymes fall out of time is kind of silly too, it's the raw energy driving the track forward that really matters. Maybe it is something that has to grow on you. Is it going to "be big"? I think it already is in a lot of places, it's just not that visible. The growth of the mixtape seems to have kinda put grime out of chart circulation, stuff just doesn't get a proper release. I mean, there's more of a vinyl culture to dubstep, but a lot only comes out on dub or test pressing... i'm hoping it doesn't go the same way as grime, where everyone's stuck listening to the same tunes on channel u and only a few djs get access to the newest stuff. Anyway, personal favourites? Virus syndicate, slew dem, ironsoul, mr keas, geeneus, trim, devlin, d double e, blackmass plastics, warlock... tons of gems once you start looking. Wow, that's a ramble and a half, sorry :) |

I liked your ramble, and virus syndicate are awsome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm digging the instrumental stuff, i guess dubstep and stuff like vexed. i think that most of the time grime emcees are annoying. then again, i'm an american and i don't really understand wtf they're saying. it's probably not that important anyways. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
is grime just some new rap bollox ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never got into it. I don't "get it" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Have you heard the (I think it's by Tinchy Strider) parody of "Just a Rascal", called "Just and Arsehole"? Grime is good, but it ruins a track for me when lyrics sound like a motivational speech from a call centre team leader. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I heard that one, but i thought crazy titch made it? At least, Wiley, Lethal B and Dizzee are all hating each other apparently |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeh it was crazy titch, didn't he get arrested for murder fairly recently? Over a diss track i think, i mean, grow up. Never thought much of his stuff anyway... i'll say one thing though, dizzee can't freestyle worth shit, it's embarassing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats true. Crazy titch just uses the other peoples beats, to make shit. He's really not good. And no, dizzee cant freestyle at all. Have you seen the clip, where he's almost fighting dizze? Pretty funny actually. Very Grime. But i really love "Boy in da corner" i have to say. Really excellent beats. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nah not seen it, got linkage? Agree totally about boy in da corner though, "i luv u" was the track that turned me on to all this stuff in the first place. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The beat they are using is pretty neat as well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bahahaha, christ. Grime so silly. And dizzee's especially cack on that vid... at least open your eyes when you're battling, man! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't get it. Is this really a "movement"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i enjoy about 40% of the tracks i hear, but its still pretty sweet. sometimes i have issues with the production, but i feel like in the last couple of years they've really started to get their act together... its not that i don't like it raw, its just that there's a fine line between good-raw and lazy sophomoric shit. that said, some of the tracks on this new Sway album are waaaay too clean. still, charismatic guy. |

He's actually coming to roskilde. Skal man vel checke ud. |

|

The swedish can certainly produce, no doubt about that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Grime? It's a hell of a lot better that crunk I'll tell you that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

grime is big, ok some of the mc's are idiots and aint really saying anything, but there are some good mc's. for me grime is about the energy and the beats, nothing else like it. at the minute. If you looking for some decent tunes let me know and ill be happy to recomend you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Burial album is excellent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Same for me. Please, reccomend away. |

Just dug up this clip I'm guessing its not a cigarette he is smoking |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Ha ha, I love that look on his face right before he starts spitin... |

Cheers for bringing this up, dirty. Yeah, it's a shame grime hasn't really exploded the way drum and bass did. Fucking hell, this decade sucks. Have you heard Muscial Mob 2002 track "Pulse X"? It's meant to be the "seminal" grime instrumental. My favorite thing about the sound is those big, dirty gabba kicks as featured on Dizzee's I Luv U. |
||||||||

it's kinda dancehall i bought a used copy of The Bug Cd on rephlex i knew it was similar to dancehall...but i tought the tracks were without any fuckin lyrics so it's kinda dancehall so i can lsiten to it only for 10 minutes per week i prefer ragga jungle 10000 more...and i really enjoy it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You've got it all wrong, the bug doesnt make Grime, he in fact makes sort of "distorted dancehall". Also cool enough, but grime is a different thing. An easier listen, i think. And Swears, i noticed you and i are often into the same stuff. I like that about you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i opened one of your suggested links and it sounded like that probably i didn't pay attention ps: i love your avatar |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hehe. Thanks. I actually like the bug. Saw him live, and it was madness! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey i really like TTC :/ gotta find some i like bits and pieces of grime, but i am a fan of big wobbley bass and dirty cheap beats! |
