d double's flow doesn't fit with that hip hop tempo. ears seems more adaptable. did anyone check that thread on the fwd forums about MCs that can flow over both hiphop and grime tempos? it's seriously a challenge to be that flexible.. harum scarum

coop, please do! definitely interested as i have always thought of soca and grime as kinda like light and dark musics.

This has happened to me a bunch of times in a live setting when everything is "clicking" and it seems like we are reaching some new collective understanding. The only single track that comes to mind right now is Nas "One Mic." Something about the "i shot back / fuck gettin hit / this my hood /...

Oi, get me, DJ'ing is okay as long as you wear Ecko but not Rocawear, innit blud?

I'll get photos back tomorrow and post a link. There were mad cameras up on that show.. at the outset, more cams than mics. At least 3 video cameras and many more still photographers. It was more like a press conference than a rave.

Yeah ~12. You got there as things started to really pop! Listening to the records from last night.. what's up with Black Ops? "Champagne Hoe's" has a ridic beat but the lyrics feel like a half-assed attempt at a US rap topic.

I was trying to keep my expectations low so I was fully prepared to be let down. However, it was definitely a good show with potential for improvement. The first half of the performance felt like a blind date with both performers and audience visibly self-concious. Once things started to...

i second the reggaeton traxxx bootlegs.. seriously great. i've also been getting them from turntablelab.com are DJs in puerto rico all spinning CDs ?

Nike is certainly a circus of contradictions. Regardless, they are always a step (pun intended) ahead of the curve.

I have a DVD-rom and a playstation 2.. can't get the Risky Roads DVD working on either. Anyone have suggestions? I think I need a "region free" player but not sure..?

Finally got my hands on some non-wiley/diz grime vinyl and it's like I am hearing this music for the first time. I had no idea how how how BIG the bass on forward really is. Plus, the b-side to RD's "let it out" is seriously great.. so busy and hectic. I like to imagine mp3 being less lossy...

My only real issue with MIA is that miauk.com charged my credit card back in January but I have yet to see the vinyl in my mailbox!

It's getting into US Weekly (ummm... Mirror?) territory to discuss sex & romance between dip and mia. I still haven't heard the MIA album but several folks mentioned that the baile connection is all but non-existent as it was one of Diplo's contributions to the PFT mixtape.

invalid link?

I'll definitely be at the Enormous room jam. Can you hold a CD for me?

Don't forget R Kelly's <i><a href="http://crashingjets.nu/blog/?p=191">Sex in the Kitchen</a></i>! The Amerie track hooked me when I first got it but I change the station when it comes on lately. In rewinds, I'm all about Aaliyah's "Miss You" lately for a variety of reasons.

'Those who champion her new efforts haven't been turned off to grime/dancehall/etc. - they have not been exposed to it.' This is so patronising! I was unclear. I meant to indict those MIA supporters who seem to irritate Diss. posters. Does this require full disclosure? I totally bumped the...

Grime people: The next time you look to our shores, throw on "Crunk Music" or "Put Your Hood Up" at +8 and go nuts. on dogs, truer words never spoken! although, that quick take of aaliyah's "miss you" on the RD creeper mixtape is tiighhht.

i'm one of a type [...] of person who are incredibly uncomfortable with who they are, or at least tries to figure out ways of being that arent contradictory I believe this to be the crux of the MIA debate. Those who champion her new efforts haven't been turned off to grime/dancehall/etc. -...

i just read about megatron on ripley's blog. who is this? i'm definitely interested in hearing someone cut up the grime tracks that are flowing faster and faster across the US borders..
