Pick Ten Grime Records

Darned cockwombles.
After seeing Simon's great article on a neophyte's guide to grime-

http://www.stylusmagazine.com/feature.php?ID=1211

I thought I'd add my own ten (granted, from a position of knowing only about a tenth of the records of most people round here), and ask for more informed opinions on the ten records that have rocked your world since 'I Luv U' blew up.


Sharkie Major - This Ain't A Game (how was this not number one? Oh yeah, it was good.)
Nasty Crew - Cock Back
Dogzilla/Target - My Side of the Story
Roll Deep - Shanghai riddim
Riko - Chosen One
Ruff Sqwad - RU Double F
Lethal B - Forward Riddim
Dizzee - Strings
The Endz - Are You Really From the Endz (all mixes)
Jammer instrumentals on that Deuce magazine CD last year

davinche + kano- ps + qs
davinche, kano, wiley- baby
wiley- ice cream man
mr wong- orchestra borough
kano + demon- gangsta toys
p-jam + female singer who's name i've forgot + frisco- 'can't hold it in'
eastwood + oddz, 'the coalition'
d double, riko, wiley, trim-'boogey man'
trim + lewi white, 'hugs + kisses'
trim + jammer- 'time's ticking away'
d double's freestyle over the 'slowjamz' instrumental [may be called 'bare different colours'?]
liberty- not sure what this track is called, but it's the one with the female singer going 'we can make loooooove', and liberty goes 'urghh' a lot. mackie used to play it a lot]

that's more than 10, but my mother always said; fuck the rules.

East Connection ‘wonky’
Jammer ‘destruction vip’
Crazy Titch ‘I can cu’
JME ‘serious’

Cool - lots of stuff I haven't even heard of there. That Roll Deep track with the UR-ish riddim sounds amazing, s'pose someone'll catch the name of that soon (that seems half the problem in getting hold of this stuff). I love the way grime is incorporating bits and pieces from anywhere and everywhere, reminiscent of the 'magpie music' aspect of 'ardkore - having just started to pay attention to the scene again after about a year, it's about ten times more exciting now than it seemed back then

yeah we're ready. thats it. thanks. nicky slim ting. the wiley mix was better but it was just eskimo with the we're ready vocals on top so it loses points for originality. there was a hiphop mix too with a shit beat and face from so solid on it.

Reading that reminds me that the Devil's mix of Eskimo was out there - more twisted and therefore better than the original imo

This Is It
ignorant american knows nuthin about nuthin

grimers,

sir and madams,

could someone venture a trackllist for the Slimzee + Blive Mix (july?) on Darksideriddems.com/.org? Actually just the first ten songs would do. I've been blasting this on my subway ride to work, and there is a string of three tracks near the beginning of the mix that just kill me.

Oh thanks mate, just a few things that sprung to mind, not saying they're the best, just representative of the whole field sort of thing.
