"When I ask Wiley and fellow Roll Deep members to describe the meaning behind their name and the phrase Deep Roller (for those who don’t know) they colourfully explain that it means being low key, minding your own, not being inna peoples business and following your own trail and that’s exactly...

yep! Hey it's not so bad! How bout this weather! :p :cool: We should meet up and exchange music. I've been thinking about inviting all Melbourne grime fans over to watch Lord of the Mics and the Dizzee v Crazy Titch video

My housemate says that 'Street Fighter' samples the Chun Li level but I haven't played it in a long time. Can anyone confirm that? And like, what is the deal with grime and video games anyway? [cue 200 posts]

It's me Keith, Luka. What's up? childoftheblogosphere is my little bro. My pseudonym doesn't suck too bad does it? Do any non-Australian grime fans actually get the joke?

Hierarchies are actually quite redeemable, as long as you take their inherent and obvious flaw for granted. They're only always wrong and bad if you think power is, and you don't need to read Foucault to know we're all complicit. See, often what gets people to the top of the cool ladder is not...

mpc otm about goosebumps. the only rival grime goosebumpage for me comes courtesy of sharkie's this ain't a game/so many days (when I finally found the mp3, i recommended it to nick k on soulseek and he listened and said "I'm melting!") although diz's brand new day & do it, and other ruff sqwad...

It was my dad's birthday yesterday and I had probably the best time with him I've had in months or years..... while still kinda under the influence of great acid. Is that slightly pathetic? Nah, because everything I said and did was totally genuine and I made him so happy he cried. Aaaaaah :D...

i'm a bit confused because i haven't been able to Luca's sample yet, and the track on the Outbreak Cru thing doesn't sound like Misty Cold at all, (never got into Misty Cold much despite being smitten with Ruff Sqwad) and I'm pretty sure that on Ruff Sqwad sets I heard them saying "this is a...

Idunno Simon, doesn't not caring about looking ridiculous make you cool? Isn't it sort of semi-pseudo-quasi-egalitarian because there can be an infinite number of cools and hierarchies? I mean, the more exclusive and underground you are, the less people think you're cool, but the cooler you...

not a slang term, but it deserves mentioning: on the great Lord of the Mics DVD, in all the bits between the battles where MCs say 'yo i'm whoever, this is lotm' or advertise record shops and Garvey's Barber shop, everybody ends half their sentences with ", yeah?" I love it, it seems like a...

are you in Melbourne?

The Wiley Story, in vocal tracks: pre-LP United Grooves Collective - Wind Down Low Pay As U Go Cartel - Know We, Champagne Dance I Will Not Lose, They Don't Know, Take Time Roll Deep - Roll Deep Regular, You Were Always, Terrible, Wickedest Ting, Bounce Streets - Let's Push Things Forward (Roll...

Aren't the biggest hipsters the biggest nerds? Aren't the coolest people the most downtrodden? I see being cool as a way of finding a different hierarchy that you can sit at the top of when you're at the bottom of the dominant one. Maybe it goes back to the Romantics, or maybe it's part of...

"Whereas Dizzee's I'd recommend to anybody, I think with Wiley you need to know where he's coming from. Anyone else feel this same strange sense of liking the album, yet having to explain it to people?" OTM, my love for Treddin is inextricably tied to its place as a chapter in Wiley's story, in...
