Chronik is blatantly underrated. And I actually think he does some of the best hiphop tunes in the grime scene. Iron Eye and that one where he's talking about 'my mum hugged me/felt the bullet proof vest and she cried' with the Ooooh sample in it. Stiff. Too many good real grime tunes on...

I've had some people tell me that only hi and mid range frequencies cause hearing loss, and that sub is not as/non-damaging. Anyone care to verify, disprove this hypothesis which I very much want to believe in?

America is still very racist, as you can see. I do think it's a bit weird though how surprised people act when something like this happens though. It's not as if the apartheid era of American history is in the distant past. Many many people who remember drinking from colored drinking...

A lot of passion aroused by this one. To anyone responding to swears: try drawing up a list of his recent posts, you'll see he fires off these kind of hateristic rants pretty often. I haven't heard it, only heard the Clouds remix which is absolutely sick. I agree that the wobble bass is...

Badman, truly. Heard a great clash tape of him, I think against Bass Odyssey in Brooklyn. Absolutely sick, they pulled every single insult against him they could and he just counteracted them blow for blow. And as far as him being a mentalist, I think that's a pretty good term. It's one of...

can't speak for the 83 berlin vibe but berlin has just passed through an exciting 2-3 yr period and seems to be re-trenching for something else, quieting a bit. I left, I'm back home in NYC now.

people need to distinguish between breakbeats and breakbeat. One is a category of samples, a clean piece of drums without any other instruments on a record, the other is a genre of boring rave music that has very little to do with the former. Do they even use breaks in breaks these days...

here today gone tomorrow - marxmen (mop) full clip - gang starr

I think that background info is important. That this guy died is tragic, but it's clearly not a case of 'innocent guy gunned down'. If anyone shows up at my mom's house with guys and threatens her a lot is gonna happen, and I'm not a violent person. I think many many people, given the same...

I know that discussing this stuff on the net is a bit bait, however, since we are discussing it already, who can lay out the most widely accepted version of events as to how this happened exactly? Is there a printed account somewhere that you've all read? I had it explained to me by someone in...

You forgot TIMEBLIIIIIIIIIND!

Ghettos tune was boring and he did it over a bad rearrangement of a Wiley beat. I saw Ghetto live and he was great but I have yet to hear much recorded from him that I want to hear more than once. Wiley summed him up pretty well when he called him an angry kano. It's definitely personal...

Yeah I think this direction has proven pretty much a cul de sac by now. Even the high priests of beeping and chirping autechre backed away from it. I'd much rather hear 16 year old musically-uneducated kids on fruity loops expressing themselves. I think more music is always better, it allows...

UTTER MADNESS. Wiley's 6 minute war dub for the movement is easily the best, craziest, most exciting thing he's done in years. Riddim, singing, bars, all at a ridiculous high level. I don't even listen to the movements dubs for him now I just listen to that tune again and again. FIYAH!! And...

Fruity is actually a sick program, people just don't think so because of it's shareware history. I'ved used most if not all of the major sequencing suspects and when I buy my PC one of the main reasons for it will be to run Fruity. If you like 16 step sequencing it's a very nice interpretation...

yeah, ignore the boneheads. Being GOOD at performing as a DJ or electronic musician is far from easy or lazy. If you think so, go make a living doing it and let me know when you do. It's easy to do anything in a half assed lazy fashion. I'd sign up for this in a second. I'm a composing and...

I agree that some of Wiley's beats, especially on Tunnel Vision 1 are a bit 'normal' and not that crazy, esp for Wiley. There are still enough to keep me interested though, 'North London' the 6min beef riddim (got a name logan?) and the Bad Em Up beat are all sick. And his bars are WAY up...

yeah good set, bossman is shower as usual, I like that guy Little Dee as well, he's got good energy. Couple different riddims I haven't heard yet too, always nice.

Watch JME and Skepta's Tropical thing as well. Definitely reacting to this kinda stuff.

I know what Hyphy as a movement is Poison, where it comes from, etc. And the idea that it couldn't affect/infect the rest of hiphop I don't agree with. Look what Crunk did to the game. I know you don't think that was a good thing, but you can't deny that it happened. I don't actually expect...
