yes both of those tempa t tunes are off a compilation someone did on some grime forum in anticipation of a mixtape, can upload if you like.

i think tempa t is the strongest link between punk and grime at the moment, watching him perform is something else - you get a sense of it if you check out some of his youtube videos, the guy is so hyped, relentless.

and there are still so many people out there who think he's got one one-line flow and that's it.. these people are BEHIND. tempz' marching/boxing thing he does when spitting live is so captivating - i agree, watch all the youtube vids you can find of him. if he's punk (and i totally see what you're saying), is ghetto prog rock? that would explain why i ain't feeling his stuff so much, haha.

'skepta how did you kill him like that when he's skipping all over the riddim like that?'

Yeah, Ghetto when he gets too much really does feel like a Rick Wakeman keyboard solo.

That Tempa T comp is great; does he have anything coming out properly, does anyone know? Mixtape/Vinyl wise?

LOL at the Rick Wakeman thing.

Re: Tempz, I thought he was supposed to have a legitimate mixtape out, but haven't seen any sign of it lately..?

So having thought it was no longer available, and had it (very conspicuously) missing from my collection forever, i finally got hold of Slimzee's Bingo Beats CD off Amazon today. Wwwow.

Btw I definitely think there's a future for grime albums, even if Skepta's is not dazzling me in the way I had hoped. There aren't many truly great ones to point to, it's true, but there's not a very large pool to judge them by - maybe ten or so 'grime albums' from the last few years? Of course when they do come out they are always hampered by the problems Blackdown talks about in his blog post.. but Tinchy's album was a good pointer to how it can work. It's a grime album with range, without resorting to skittish crowd-pleasing, or Dizzee's new, ill-defined goal: 'entertainment'. If you compare Tinchy's 'Star in The Hood' to his 'I'm Back U Know' mix CD, the difference in quality throughout is just astronomical.

Phew, someone talks sense. I think that's album's fucking great, to have "now look I've done my first album, no features from Rascal or Wiley, it's fucked" as the last line of a debut album is just heartbreaking.

Most early hiphop albums were shit as well. It took til 'radio' really for them to get it right.

Good to fill that hole! Volume II is quite good too though nowhere near as futuristic sounding. Lot's of elastic-y, broken, bouncey garage beats like Artwerk's Red. Not heard the first one which is mixed by Zinc.

I have grown to like the Tinchy album quite a lot. I never listen to I'm Back U Know or Lost and Found from start to finish but the album flies past, which says something as I have never listened to Playtime is Over through either. Poppy in a good way. He made some varied beats without going as far as Roll Deep did with their car-crash terrible In At The Deep End. So fair play to him.

A good example of this is Chipmunk's new mixtape/album League Of My Own which is ridiculously ridiculously ridiculously good. Three times better than Whatever The Weather Vol. 2 and that is saying something in itself.

Your opinion could be no less factually incorrect than if you had proferred to me that you were of the belief that the sky was in fact Green. Although you would be equally as rightful to hold said opinion as you are that 'Movement need to do more Ruff Sqwad beats', despite saying the only two tracks you liked from them were.... not any of the Ruff Sqwad produced offerings.

At least you are amusing yourself. And me. But the latter is clearly not intentional. :)

I was going to leave this alone since Wolverine started posting about t-shirts rather than chatting shit but yo, I just was listening to Ruff Sqwad on Rinse 12/15/06 where Slicks EXPLICITLY says that he produced Weighty. And I swear that Rapid produced Good Old Days. I guess the sky is green huh? I would expect you to be on top of your facts, of all people... Best at what you do? If you weren't so rude and dismissive I wouldn't be motivated to take time and post these things but as it stands its just too annoying to leave alone.

That's all, sorry to garbage up the thread everyone else but I just couldn't help it.

And listening back to this show I've got 'I'm from a place' on repeat. What a tune.

i dont think you can use the analogy of early hip hop albums with grime albums. grime has all those years of hip hop to build on as a guide. when those early hip hop albums came out, that was when rapping was still new as a vocal style - youre not going to get amazing albums when something is in its infancy. obv theres the thing of there not being anyone like a rick rubin figure to show these guys how to make the transition from radio/rave mc to songwriter/artist (most of them just arent that good at it) but the main reason grime albums are such mish mashes or missed opportunities is cos hip hop albums have also been using that 'something for everyone' model for years. and for some reason, people seem to think home sweet home is a better album to aspire to than boy in da corner.

dubplate net has some good mp3s from wiley and terror danjah for sale - i think theyre new. the terror one especially is pretty hardcore.
