    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    ...and Sharky Major...? N.A.S.T.Y. is like the West Ham of Grime: if they could've kept all that talent...they could've had some Brando business: Ferdinad, Carrick, Cole, Lampard, Defoe...

    That's brilliant! Please post here more often; maybe you could contribute to the rolling Grime thread?

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    Come on, Skepta doesn't have a great voice? He's like a classic Jungle MC but with a flow - he's like MC GQ but with bars. Skepta voice gives you that sense of his authority through it's timbre. Granted his voice doesn't stand out immediatly as distinctive but once you recognise it you don't...

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    I really don't want to join the bandwagon of people dismissing your opinion but I really got to stand up for these albums because I actually cherish them both as artifacts and for the music they contain and I'd hate to think you might put people off buying them. Both 'Star in the Hood' and...

    Yeah, Skepta seemed rather wooden and his flow pedestrian. Those same bars are beginning to seem a bit tired now as well. Still a top five MC in my opinion though.

    Rapping 'Flow' Analysis

    I don't think that when you're talking about MCing you can look at rhythm in isolation from things like inflection and intonation. I'm ignorant of this type of thing in terms of any technical understanding but my instinct is that analysing this would be alot more complicated than analysing...

    The Roots

    Clones 'Clones' - the 12" off 'Illadelph Halflife' is a mid 90s hip hop classic: weird pitched down steel pan drums and snappy verses.

    more fire crew's debut - the best grime album ever?

    My copy of 'Still The Same' has an Eski Remix on the flip - is that the tune you're thinking of? I think 'Oi!' is one of the greatest tunes of the decade.

    New Grime Mixtapes

    I'm buying Skepta's 'Greatest Hits' today but was wondering if anyone has any other recommendations for Grime CDs that have come out recently? The thing with mixtapes is it's not like vinyl where you can easily get a preview of what they sound like. I've already picked up recently (and can...

    The Movement For me Wiley finsihed his burial of The Movement with his monologue at the end of 'Nightbus Dubplate': "...about The Movement is like D-Block...why are you like D-Block? You're from England you batty!!! Who are these pricks meant to be really though? What is that about? What's...

    Bun-U's Grime label

    Fully Grown 'Fully Grown' is one of my favourite Grime tunes of the last couple of years & I thought it would never get a release on vinyl - so nice one for that. Now all we need is for the vocal version of 'Xtra' to get a release...

    Grime Top Tens

    10 Grime LP Tracks (not released on vinyl) The downside with the recent Grime Mixtape boom is that a lot of great music isn't getting released on vinyl. Here are ten mixtape tracks that I really wish were released on 12": 1. 'Xtra (Vocal Mix)' Ruff Sqwad (Guns & Roses Vol.2): possibly Ruff...
