I've been listening to hip-hop since 1985. I've been listening to Grime lately, and am confused by those people who tell me that Grime is not rap/hip-hop, but something totally unique and original.
I understand that the sonics and influences and beats are different, but to me it's the same head-noddin groove... just different sonics. Well, not that different if you have ever heard underground hip-hop.
Now 2-step totally twisted my world, like nothing I had ever heard before. So did 2-step "evolve" into grime? or did it just dissipate into rap?
Please educate me.
