so. the RWD area was the highlight for me, shame about the amount of noise from the main stage. roll deep were on top form, nice to see them pulling out a good performance after some patchy ones - scratchy d particularly. donae'o did his thing, and a nice blend with 'lovers and friends' too...

yeah that jay-z blend is hot. the sampled meters track, if anyone's interested. <a href="http://s47.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2ODU0DOLEFD7504NZ846QKIZPR">Oh Calcutta!</a>. i guess the break must be the one at 1:41...

davinche's pretty buff. non vocal role obv

re-up plz?

are we talking about popworld? this isn't rwd forums you know... ;)

looks like i'll still have time to call into rhythm division and uptown, but independance is a trek and a half when you're not going south of the river. for anything from them, if you're prepared to pay the UK postage, then just the cost to ship to me i guess. the other two, well, whatever...

hah, thanks dominic. you sure you don't want anything? there isn't just one 12 you have to have? well, let's at least get together and chat grime at some point. due to the overwhelming response to this, i'm a little worried about being beaten down with responses, but anyone fancy going...

heh. just spoke to RWD. they have 65 performers to fit into 7 hours. should be absolute chaos, and all the better for it. i'm wondering if the q&a thing will get dropped though, since it's intended to be before or after each PA, and i'm not sure that'll work on the day if people are really...

Fairly awful commercial line up on the main stage - Will Smith? Xzibit? - but the saving grace has to be the RWD AAA area. Thank god for RWD. Over the two days we bring you the cream of the UK – Kano, Nasty Crew, Roll Deep, Wiley, Jammer, Shola Ama, Bruza, Lethal B, Firecamp, Mitchell Brothers...

just found out i'm off to NYC in two weeks, and here's a chance to help out you US grime heads if you're interested. i'm coming to pillage your stores for tech shit, so will have any empty suitcase on the way across. what i'm proposing is taking orders, via private auctions on ebay, for any...

The foremost figure in British hip hop did not achieve his status, record sales, and numerous awards without putting on first-class gigs, and last night was no exception. Few in this eminent venue would have felt comfortable at a typical Dizzee Rascal show. But as he began his set in...

fair enough. i think the jargon and term coining puts me off, but i recognise that there's an audience for this discussion. i'll just stop reading, and let you get on with it.

why can't people just focus on the music? why does this anthropological stuff have to creep into everything? bunch of white guys talking about the relative qualities of african vs. afro-caribbean communties, no matter how informed, comes across as a bit off.

nah, wiley was at fabric, as was most of east london...
