Grime is not an island.

[noel emits]

Obviously the main grime thread needs to be kept pure from diversions and digressions. Tunnel vision and all that.

Talk about surrounding and related concerns here if you like. Or not as the case will probably be.

 

[Sick Boy]

I second this.

 

[Logan Sama]

Discussing "no music day" is neither Grime gossip, rumour nor slander, I am afraid.

 

[DJ PIMP]

Imagine if it was though. The island would make a great setting for a dystopian urban-sci-fi novel.

 

[Sick Boy]

I like the direction this is going in.

i think there's a movie in this. rapid global warming swamps all of london save e3. iguanas everywhere.

ominously titled 'boy better know'

...a small group of MCs take refuge on Canvey Island....even though nearby districts ominously call it 'The Island of Lost Souls'...

 

[gumdrops]

grime headwear. i dont think the levels have been sufficiently raised since the hats skeptas was wearing earlier this year. dissapointing.

...a small group of MCs take refuge on Canvey Island....even though nearby districts ominously call it 'The Island of Lost Souls'...

...as lurking deep in a network of caves and tunnels beneath the surface are a tribe of feral psy-trancers who conduct elaborate ceremonies, sacrificing the unwary under UV lights to the sole glowstick still in existence.

That discussion we were having about violence has now been linked to by both The Guardian and Pitchfork. I wish I'd been wittier now.

 

[DJ PIMP]

...after they abduct his lover (Chantelle Fiddy?), the chief protagonist (Dizzee?) must enter the labyrinth on the island and battle the trancers.

Cameo from Mixmaster Morris as the High Priest of the Psy Klan.

"Your puny lyrical stylings are no match for my powers of Mind-Arpeggiation!!! weewoo weewoo weewoo"

"I'll murk u blud brrrraap"

Could go on a Theseus/Minotaur parallel... or for the downer-ending Orpheus/Eurydice.

Or they ride off down the beach together on the back of some mutated quadruped, before coming to a half-buried signpost that says "Welcome to Ibiza".

YOU FOOLS! YOU DAMN FOOLS...

 

[DJ PIMP]

Would also make a great title for a 50s style propaganda movie on personal hygiene.

"...and we must all do our part in the war against bacteria. Because GRIME... IS NOT AN ISLAND."
