you need to go way back before the re-emergence of Big H to pinpoint when grime moved away from its traditional sound and towards a more polished american hip-hop sound..
i mean when was The Movement cd? 2007?
Well, polished American-style sounds and Trap aren't exclusively hand-in-hand. But yeah.
It doesn't count for the Movement though, because aside from Scorcher and maybe Wretch, that's a crew of rappers pretending to be grime artists, because they think grime is just a 'sound' of hip-hop. For christ's sake, people in GrimeForum still cry about Crazy Titch making hip-hop records, but enjoy "Freedom Of Speech" as if that isn't as Eminem-indebted as a Hopsin song.
I mean, you can go back to the battle w/ Napper; there is nothing garage-influenced about that flow, he's not EVEN paying attention to the beat, he's just spitting a whatever bar written that seems like grime because it's in double-time and has the skippy flow.
