...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?

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...

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.

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...

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

Dem2 Mix Can someone re-up the Dem 2 mix as well?

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.

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...

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...

Skepta - Greatest Hits Went down Uptown today. Skepta's 'Greatest Hits' release has been postponed till next week apparently. Shame after the big deal he made about it being released on his birthday...

The loop on the run out D.J. Polo & Kool G. Rap* - It's A Demo / I'm Fly Label: Cold Chillin' Catalog#: CC 101 Country: US Released: 1986 Notes: Pre-Warner Brothers, independent Cold Chillin' release (with black center label). 'It's A Demo (Dub - No End)' has Kool G Rap repeating...

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...

It was released on vinyl as a 'Run The Road' promo with Plan B's 'Cap Back' on the flip. 'Unorthodox Daughter' is a classic.

There are times though, when a peice of music has haunted you, that when you actually bring it to the realm of the living it's ultimately disappointing. Some ghosts are better left in the spirit world.

Anyone here heard Wiley's 'Apocolypto' off TV6? It's one of those far out ones that come out of grime occasionally, like Terror Danjah's 'Green Street' or Wonder's 'Asia'. It's like what you'd imagine Wiley would sound like if he was from Detroit and made techno. Anyway, it's different and I...

Great selection of music. I'd like to say that in the UK the concept of black people actually liking white music isn't so shocking but then you only have to see how journalists wet themselves when Dizzee Rascal says he likes Nirvana or Goldie declares his love of Brian Eno that this wouldn't...

I think I should've found a place for Lethal B some where on my original list. He brought a lot of energy to grime even if his lyrics could be embarrassing some times. Riko & Flow Dan? Well, I think Riko has his moments, but I find all those Yard-isms a bit grating (though I do love the Ragga...
