Yeah I have to agree with everyone. So you ever have that thing where people ask you with incongruity 'How can you like THIS music!?' It's funny: today I had a telephone interview for a sales job and the guy said to me that he was looking for 1)Articulation 2)Determination and 3)Focus... I...

I know is like an episode of Trisha in here at the moment! I was a bit pissed last night when I wrote the rambly bullshit post. I'll try and be more considered :o But I must admit that when I listen to Grime, and I don't know if it's the same for others, I do listen and try to figure out the...

Yes Trim is not deep down a nasty bloke, but that is too simplistic to be blatantly honest. But life forces him to bring out his worst. But of course people that spit aren't evil or nasty guys down to their souls, but what you can't dispute is that they are guys who have had harsh and...

This is it with Trim. It's all good being able to hype and go a bit nuts in a tune, spitting the most gutter muckyness you can muster and making it sound poetical and venomous in a mix that holds weight. But after a certain while it just sounds tired, lost and degenerated... Trim seems to me...

I do think that at first listen through you are likely to be slightly, very slightly disappointed, only because of your awareness of just how able and considered Trim can be with words ( and how funny and odd he can be -- Don't tick Trim...

What links the two genres, apart from the technical similarities, is this sensation of tension beneath both and I would add dissatisfaction. I agree that the 'harsh reality' tag that goes with Grime and Dubstep is cheap and boring. This music is not great because it's made by, on the whole...

I agree. I think that pushing it too hard is wrong and would be dry. Music is generally a sideshow in books and I like it when it's mentioned as it somehow concretes and adds a layer of sensation ( for the same reason that I like reading about food in books) But there is a deeper sense to Grime...

There's a vocal of it on Little Dee myspace with Wiley, Scorcher and Little Dee. "OI LONDON THIS AIN'T NO FOOTBALL TUNE YOU KNOW!"-----HA! I think it's alright. Bouncy and funny.

I agree completely with you. All I'm saying is that imagine, irrespective of the reality, that the energy was just allowed to build and vibrate and flow, it would lead to insane levels which in turn must translate into more interest, sales, media reportage and general happiness to all those...

Why the fuck is it that there is this fear of overexcitement. It doesn't happen at a football match or at indie gigs ( but the same levels aren't reached I suppose.) The same thing happened when BBK played at canterbury uni. They played Duppy and wiley, skepta and Jme destroyed it and the...

'I MAKE MOTIVATION MUUUSIC I DON'T NEED MOTIVATING STUUUPID' Chipmunk is a dan. I think he's better than icekid and most of roll deep. He's got that kinda D Double and scorcher charisma thing. That Apocolypto freestyle is wicked as well... He's part of Wiley's Eskibeat collective I think as...

Dubstep people tend to be more obscure characters than the grime ones. Although the grime people are more homogeneous in a weird way. But I'd bet they'd be more of a laugh than say spaceape. He'd just drone on and on and on and Gaviscon... It is pretty stupid when you deliberately hide away I...

There was some international coverage in the US around the time of Boy In Da Corner, I think the New York Post even. I think that D Double has been in the NY times as well. He's got this bar when he goes: D Double impression (I been Amsterdam pure times, I been america two times, The second time...

Anyone reach to FWD last night?? Heard a bit of the stream of rinse and it sounded flipping massive. What MC's/tunes smashed it??

Yeah. I was just looking at what that is on google. It looks interesting. Does it incorporate the tone of the music with the words? I did have a outlandish, dream-like idea that when I've finished writing this book I could include a chapter by chapter Dubstep/Grime soundtrack. But that is a...

Yeah that was a thought that I had. But really it isn't a traditional detective story. (i.e. hard bitten detective is sought out by a willowy blond to solve a case of intrigue) It's about this layabout kid whose into dubstep and grime who follows the trail of his recently disappeared uncle...

I agree with Logos. JME is excellent as a organiser, ideas, business and just general enthusiasm. But as an MC I just think he is too basic, both content and flow. When he does tunes about Big Brother Britain he just sounds a little forced and cliched. Go on my Own is ok, but it never makes you...

I agree it is kinda bait when he goes over Hip Hop. Why do the Grime guys do it?? It almost always sounds shit; like bad karaoke. embarrassing almost. I don't think that it's because they can't flow over it but I think it has to do with the sound. American Hip Hop is successful and rappers...

Anyone heard Black the Ripper and Cookie 'Look Around'? It's on his myspace. It has some good bars in it. What does it sample? I really rate Black the Ripper. This movement of him Cookie and Chipmunk is definitely one of the top collectives after BBK and The Movement. Any one else feeling these...
