grime

enough of this mixtape nonsense, let's have a proper album. they should have released it ages ago. i feel like things are being put on hold indefinitely, it's depressing. by the time they release an album all the hunger, subtlety, experimentation of their music may have disappeared. groups...

lets face it, grime is shit. it didn't used to be, it probably doesn't have to be, but it is. what went wrong? was it MCs realising there wasn't millions to be made? that the scene wasn't going to break through en masse and revolutionise the british music industry? that beleif they could make...

i was talking about grime with a friend the other day and he was saying that, compared to hip hop, the 'mixtape culture' (if it can even be called that) in grime is incredibly slow moving- apparently even really big hip hop artists like g unit bring out around 5 mixtapes a year or something...

all 'old' but unreleased, to the best of my knowledge. enjoy! ruff sqwad - untitled 1 [dirty danger production] ruff sqwad - untitled 2 [??????? production] ruff sqwad - untitled 3 [rapid production] untitled 1 & 2 - january 5th 2004, deja vu fm untitled 3 - may 25th 2004, raw blaze -

there's obviously a lack of proper grime raves at the moment, and has been for at least a year. now, it seems that the only places that grime artists get to play is more middle class, studenty nights- stuff at 333, 93 ft east, the aborted vice-pub grime project- even FWD is pretty studenty and...

cuz i'm one of the worst offenders in starting loads of little grime threads, i thought i'd start this thread, as a place where people can post little titbits of grime info. a little like those 'rolling threads' on ILM. so, to kick things off: YOU MUST get the young.dot EP. the best grime...

-who's the MC on wiley's 'yr not real' who chats about getting mugged outside stratford rex? -is zimbon now in roll deep? thanks in advance

thinking today about the grime MCs that there was loads of hype and expectation around late last year, but haven't really made it- fumin bashy purple slk, as a collective but why? may be the power's shifted back towards E3 a lot more- especially now that Rinse is the only reliable grime...

obviously his beats are good. but his MCing? there are def. two schools of thought there. me, i reckon he's got nice lyrics, quite funny, quite elaborate, but he has such a disappointing, boring voice- this monotone drone. he's like the new footsie. mpc/prancehall and any other skepta fans...

Does anybody knows how many white labels the Eski-boy released to this day ? Is there someone, somewhere collecting, working on a grime discography yet ?

who heard their rinse set last night? good gosh- one of the most intense pirate sets i've heard. it had the energy of those old deja-vu specials where they piled as many MCs as they could into the studio and everyone really went for it.

what do people think of this then? it's not the all-time classic i was expecting- i think they've kept a lot of their best tracks for the forthcoming album- but it's still an excellent record. the first 7 tracks in particular are some of the most exciting stuff i've heard in a while. it also has...
