I don't hear smoothness to him, I hear abruptness and a punchiness. You can hear the effort everything he does, there's a muscularity to it I find absolutely unbecoming. He's an absolutely unnatural man on mic he's just blessed with charisma and an incredibly clear and distinct voice. He has the...

The gap between him and people in his camp like Hyper is more vast in my mind than the gap between him and Discarda. Genuinely.

He's not smooth at all, it's baffling to me honestly. He's definitely pretty though and maybe this is what it comes down to.

"It's a trap!" I wail, tears rolling down my cheeks as he sails towards the falls obliviously. I see the rocks that will dash him to pieces, the impossible to survive plummet stories through the air. Shaking, I scream "You'll die, please! Stop!" as my voice shrills itself into a rasp. But he...

I wish you could understand how bad Kano is. He's actually worse than Ghetts. I'm screaming to someone with soundproof earmuffs. This, this is the real UK/US divide.

To be fair I'm deliberately challenging and provoking here on the Kano topic as much as I do feel there's an intelligent way to say "Kano never should've been let into Grime". It's less to do with slickness and that sense of cynicism.

People are talking about swords in relation to war whereas I'm saying "There were a lot more weapons than swords." Especially the Liquid ones.

I'm talking about hereditary techniques. Schools of thoughts. Systems. And I'm talking about how A lot of comprehension of rap is taught around one system that's v. beloved but applies to a specific group of people in America based on geography and how and where that actually using comprehension...

There's so much Eminem in "Boys Luv Girls" lol. It's just that What he's rapping too Eminem would never have the courage to touch. If anything Dizzee is Jay and Kano is Em. Interesting they never had a "Renegades" moment.

Not at all because Mr. Wong isn't important and Terminator is too pure for this world.

OK I've definitely scoured some of these posts and I wanna touch on something third was expressing frustration about translating elsewhere... Proper Rappity Rap is a strange thing because it goes in relation to the sounds of organic drums. The sampled drums, the loop. This sort of cyclical...

Luke will go on endlessly about how Eminem ruined things meanwhile Kano, who raps EXACTLY like Eminem, always gets a pass. The eternal forgiveness to anyone from East London...

Kano was always shit it was never about the slickness but again, I gotta save my energy b/c Third wanted me in the deconstructed rap thread and I'm getting distracted.

Also while I'm catching up by going backwards and in a pedantic mood: Kano's "Typical Me" is actually better than "Jus A Rascal". An obvious attempt of duplication, and totally cynical, but it's better. I do want to just go in endlessly on Kano here because he's worthless but I'm saving my...

Lethal's definitely made some of the worst moves, including that "Staring At The Rude Boys" cover with Gallows. He was definitely one of the worst cases of selling out when it was clear he was going to have to. But he also has the rare distinction of having underrated crossovers.

Lethal B's made more quality grime singles than a lot of people aforementioned. And he might be a worse artist than a lot of them.

Honestly what I said about Donae'o could apply to Maxwell D too and he was def. guilty of some bizarre affectations.

IDK if you even can count Donae'o because he's been written out of things and had to force his relevance back based on his successes elsewhere. There's def. a period of Grime's audience where nobody knew they should care who Donae'o was.

The variability in quality of Flow Dan's put on Yardie vox is fascinating to hear over the course of the years. All his bizarre tics and affectations. <iframe width="511" height="409" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TuBR_QpCw9o" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay...
