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 know they are worth millions and have all the great stuff that goes with. Their beats have an assured sound, there's no fragmentation or edgiess. But grime Mc's aren't that successful. They live real lives; They struggle, grind, dilly-dally, waste time, struggle some more, get lean, eat, laugh, watch money draining out of their bank accounts and so grind some more. And so they sound fake when they try and pretend to be this assured guy on this assured beat.
Grime is nasty, pissed off and above all hungry.
That is what makes it the best music to listen too at the moment.

I ramble, sorry. Im gonna shut up and take a walk.

Motivation music Vol 1 and 2 is on all those guys myspace's for free download.
And there ain't too many hip hop forays!

Imagine you gave Wiley the wrong change or something in a shop. I swear he'd take it as a personal rebuke! He'd be like
'Oi Oi Oi London. I swear this yute owes me another 10p.'
The guy is hooked on it.

'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 well. With Little Dee and Maniac.

Black The Ripper is

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 guys?

that set from fwd wth footsie etc is pretty great. that beat that comes in around 19 mins (kinda musical mob/2steppy) is just insane.

Oh yeah..i had only listened to the Kano version. Guess they aren't too up on grime.

I would like a repress of the original 2x12"s though. I can't imagine who it would be doing it, Logan said he was going to repress some old Eskstrumentals.

^Definitely! Icerink kinda sums up that whole era of eskibeats for me. And the vocals of it are so raw and incredible. I love the idea of multiple vocalists versioning stuff too. I have 3 records of that 'PumPum Riddim' with 4 vocals on each and i think there was a 4th done - 16 version! Sick.

And yeah 'Stageshow Riddim' is one such beat just crying out for multiple versions.

Though "Eskimo" was bigger and earlier, "IceRink" definitely was a turning point for grime too, as with the versions it so clearly outlined the influence and link with dancehall.

For sure.

Looks like Boomkat must have unearthed some stuff in a warehouse. They also have Boogieman with the amazing Trim slew on Fire Hydrant of Sniper, Fumin and Cell22 (i think) on the back. Time to invest me thinks!

I always get confused cos didn't Jammer do a Fire Hydrant EP but the original beat was built by Wiley...

wiley and jammer have done a couple of things like that, where they nick each others ideas. the one that springs to mind is a track on (i think) the hard times ep by jammer which is later improved upon by wiley on the cuts n paces ep.
