And thus, the creature christened 'Nu-Rave' made it's first tentative steps onto the muddy river banks, with it's newly formed flipper-legs struggling to propel it's gasping body through the silt.

Big shout out to the Younger Sick Man

I knew he was Dr Venom from ages ago. I never minded him back in the day because he seemed genuinely interested in the music and even made a handful of good beats. I have no problem with any individuals. Just the final group project.

I have three outifts Hoody, Jeans and trainer with cap, swap jeans for shorts and hoody for t shirt/vest as weather applies Shirt, jeans, shoes and smart-casual jacket Suit Go to town.

Is it bad if I wish death on anyone I see wearing skinny jeans, shit-stained Chucks and a shemagh when I am walking round Old Street/Brick Lane?

If you actually take the time out to embrace the music and the culture and give it respect rather than send it up in some sort of ironic mockery, then you could be wearing leggings and a tutu and you'd be cool by me

Bit of both. Vinyl slowly. CDs more notably alongside an actual organised release schedule. It took me a while to find out who made the tune myself, I thought it was a Danny or Target production cos it had that summery vibe to it that I get from Target tunes.

Sorry but the "oh well at least it isnt....." argument doesn't hold weight.

This may be so, but they do not do it in such a way which separates them from the rest of the scene, not really being any part of it at all, to the point of saying you make "nu-rave" instead of Grime.

You mean that pretty poor bootleg of Montel Jordan's "this is how we do it", with Badness from Aftershock spitting some of his reload bars on it?

And they have a chip about that. They want to prove to these UKHH artists and Hip Hop artists in general that they "got the mad skilllz, yo!" It gets on my tits.

It is relevant to Grime though, even if you are discussing hip hop. I mean, most of the artists do either slow 70bpm sample heavy original productions, or just spit on any American beats that they listen to in their own time.

Beastie Boys came out on a hip hop label making hip hop music that was endorsed by the hip hop community. Hadouken came out in Old Street on some faux-indie label I have never heard of and get write ups in the NME and from Jo Whiley. It is just further fucking proof that labels in this country...

Because it is drummed into their head from an early age that hip hop = content, grime = hype.

It is a tough situation. Because while you can argue that the influx of turgid hip hop sounding sanitized 'Grime' being made by 'artists' is done so as to please a faceless mainstream consumer, and you can suggest that perhaps the MCs should stop making music to please other people and just do...

The Hadouken beats are turgid intentionally poor sounding immitations of those weird LOK type of beats that got played on Deja in 2003. Listening to them and being convinced i recognise half the melodies and ALL of the sounds used from back then annoys me even more. And to be honest, the only...

"Work" with the Barrington Levy sample? I think it's a great prodction. I've not heard the Aftershock album in full yet, so I can't comment, but I know there isn't a huge amount of hype on it's imminent release for whatever reason. It is a shame because Terror Danjah has always been very...

Saying people appropriating the music helps is spread is one thing. But Lady Sovereign's album doesn't sound like Grime. This is a mis-appropriation and the big acts within the scene are responsible for it too. The mainstream has no idea what Grime is. To them it is just UK Hip Hop. British...
