Personally I don't really think so, despite what the believers feel or think. I'll tell ya why. Old Dirty Bastard did a neo-grime album nearly 7 years ago called 'Nigga Please' - maybe not as frenetic as 'grime' but defintely glimpses of the genre. especially vocal-sonics. Sure there are some sonique breakthoughs in the grime sound, but just as DnB didn't make it coz the yanks were already doing the Florida Bass sound 5 years before.
Maybe the Rolling Stones need to endorse grime, but Mick is still shaking his ass to NY house, so maybe the next genre will cut it. But really, who cares if it blows in the US, really? Does it need to?
