Exaggeration and extrapolation of a comment to the point of ridicule is the easiest retort to conjur up.
Public Enemy and NWA were charicatures of themselves. If you find that point to be beyond your comprehension then fair enough.
My first point in this topic is that Kano and Roll Deep's...
Of course Public Enemy were a gimmick act. Just as NWA were a gimmick act.
Just because they didn't believe they were one, doesn't mean they weren't marketed as or considered one by the label which released their material.
And on a seperate note, Grime is a sound which is quite limited within...
You must remember that the average young MC is writing mythical bars about his strap and shank and how he runs his manor aged 16.
And then he gets on pirate radio and is going back to back with a dozen other mcs all saying the same thing. And there are a dozen pirate stations. So it ends up...
Public Enemy were a gimmick act signed up by an established label which dealt exclusively with Hip Hop. There are no Grime labels.
The Roll Deep and Kano albums, if we are going to use Hip Hop parallels are akin to Sugar Hill Gang and Grandmaster Flash. So wait a few years before you can shift...
Grime can be moved into an album format but you need a handful of tracks with a far less abrasive sound and therefore a more widespread appeal.
It is a softly softly process.
The side with 2 instrumentals are both by wiley.
Murkle Man instrumental and a tune called Tunnel Vision.
The other side is produced by Lewi White and vocalled by Ruff Sqwad and guests.
