Looking back, where do you think it could have gone?
london's pretty much rejected auto-tune other than in a very derivative afrobeats context (in the music it produces, not in its listening habits). it hasn't gone for any the vocal dada either in terms of young thug-style verbal absurdism or in terms of that cyborg-kate bush dancehall.
i suppose on a more ideological level it hasn't let go of "the streets". it's social realism, not only lyrically and visually, but sonically whereas rap and dancehall are going through the star gate in 2001.
