See, for STEREOTYPICAL Grime beats there is a clearly definable sound. Something like FWD riddim really doesn't sound like Big Pimpin. Something lik eEskimo really doesn't sound like What's Your Fantasy.
But not every Grime beat is a stereotypical Grime beat and not every Hip Hop beat is a...
Cultural aspects, while important, do not in any way allow you to identify a Grime production by ear.
And I agree PD, the Lily Allen collab with the Bugsy sample makes baby Jesus cry.
You cannot gather any of that information from listening to an instrumental piece of music, ergo it has no place in a description of what a Grime record sounds like.
Sir.
Me saying Wifey riddim may or may not be Grime for example is COMPLETELY different from me saying Kano's Cd isn't Grime. Listen to it. Even Kano will tell you there is only 2 Grime tunes on there.
There is NO WAY that a bunch of American hip hop instrumentals, and Mikey J hip hop beats...
Hook line and sinker into proving you actually don't know much about the music? Ok. Cool
I don't really mind how I come across. I merely come here to state facts about Grime music, and my opinions on other things.
If you would like a definition of exactly what Grime is then I shall do my best...
You know what I really enjoy? And the first example of it was Anti War Dub. I really am enjoying these steppers style tracks with skippy drums like Benga & Coki - Night. It really appeals to my ignorant Grime ears.
You really have no grasp of what Grime is. At all.
Garage is a bpm. Grime is not a bpm. I dropped the bpm restriction 4 years ago when I got the 1st Dizzee album. I've said it in many many interviews as well. So educate yourself.
If you were implying that Kano was appeasing his Grime fans with...
The entire mixtape bar 2 tracks is not Grime.
I can do a tune by tune breakdown for you if you like? You must have FWD flyers in your ears if you think those American hip hop instrumentals he is spitting on are in any way Grime.
I find it difficult to accept you are actually being serious when...
Grime MCs will never be big in Bassline strictly because the crowd do not like MCs spitting all over the tunes. Even when MCs like Jamakabi or Footsie have featured on Bassline tunes, they have been dubby mixes using only one or two lines of lyrics interspersed through the tune.
If it finishes, which I can't see happening because there is now an entire generation of young people MCing in London and around the UK, then I will have to do what many people have done before me and submit to the banality of a 9-5 and admit defeat.
You know, for me, I understand how certain people want to play other types of music because you can get more bookings and make more money. But if I was doing something just to make money I would be in an office. It would be easy for me to play old school, funky house, bassline. Anything else...
That is becaus the audience is ignorant of how music works as a business and just go by what they are fed. And people get fed first week sales numbers. So when someone does less than stellar first week numbers they are widely viewed as a flop. It's ridiculous. It was the same with Wiley and...
