I can understand how some would rate Dizzee Rascal above Wiley as being the greatest MC in grime (although I don't), but I think when it comes to the greatest grime artist on the whole, it is almost indisputably Wiley, and will likely be seen that way in years to come. He never made an album better than Boy In Da Corner, but on the other hand he has embodied the spirit of the genre consistently from the very beginning (before the beginning even), and set most of the levels for what it was to be a grime MC and producer. Wiley IS grime, he is grime incarnate, and that's why he sits, never to be moved, in my number 1 spot.
YES! Couldn't have put it better myself. Just listened to 'Crash bandicoot freestyle' 3 times in a row. That track alone is proof that Wiley is an untouchable MC when he's on form. Total authority on the mic, and he's the funniest by far too. Not really feeling 'Rolex' yet though.
