Backing this yout' to the fullest, caught him on tour with Adele and he killed it, kid's the real deal... <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value=""></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"...

no really - i know what that track is, its the one before it, think its a supercat but not sure - isn' all the musical knowledge in the world stored on dissensus?

Speaking only for the Ghanaians - I can say that the above description doesn't fit the ghanaian music they would have grown up with Ben Brako, Kwadjo Antwi etc... ineresting adjectives: chaos, harsh, raw.. there are many other things that the above description fits but we won't get into that...

as i said above there will be those you can tell - but answer this: can you tell Ras Kwame is from Ghana?

I'm telling you that you can't listen to Trim, Demon and Akala withou seeing them and tell where there parents are from - the difference is less pronounced between west indians and africans,

Not being very clear in a forum of journos, what I am saying is that you are looking for things that are not there. For example, take the following artists: Foxy Brown, Seal, Dizzee, Kano. You cannot tell me that by listening to their voice you can pinpoint the coutry their parents came from...

What's the tune that gets played a all the sound clashes that goes: I say tribute to selassie the great emperor... Sounds like a supercat, does anyone know?

Jungle also had many African MCs and producers as did UK garage. Cant see what is different about grime. Dont see wha point was originally being made. UK dancehall and Jungle were probably equally as successful as grime if not more so (Sweetie Irie, General Levy). BV and Logan said it: nothing...

Seems to me this whole "discussion" is based on trying to read into an observation that has absolutely nothing to do with anything. What point are you trying to establish? Grime is better for it? Worse for it? or just different? there have been equal amounts of Afro-caribs and africans in UK...
