    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    While we are at this subject: I got this old tune called "Pulse Eskimo II", with vocal samples from Austin Powers in it ("Oh behave", "Yeah baby"). Is that a Wiley tune or not? I have also seen it credited to someone/something called Chain Reaction.

    Digi Dub

    It's really a bad genre name, since it's so confusing and unclear what it means exactly. I'd say that theoretically it means dub that is produced as modern dance music is produced. Thats is: totally or at least mainly programmed instead of made with live instruments. When it's partly...

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    Oooh my good gosh. I've never EVER heard this one before. It gave me a flashback to the days when I first found this stuff on the net (June 2003 - I'm lookin at the creation date of the Eskimo mp3 on my harddrive) and thought "What the hell is this music? This is brilliant!" I really thought...

    That's very sweet of you. Downloading it right now, it will be interesting to see if I really managed to miss this one or if I've got the wrong name on this one too.

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    Thanks, but... the track you've uploaded is exactly the one that Brokeman in his original question had realized wasn't "Shanghai", and then Logan confirmed that this is indeed not Shanghai but a track called "Before This". So I guess you are under the same misconception as I and Brokeman was...

    Modern Dub

    I've been deeply into this sound, although I haven't kept myself up to date the last two years. You'll probably get far more knowing answers soon from other Dissensians, since this is mainly a British phenomenon that I've only studied from afar, living here in Sweden... although that has never...

    At his website http://www.ewenspencer.com/shop/index.html you can see some of the photos from the book. They don't look bad, but they don't make me wanna buy the book either.

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    Since you're sad the clip was so short, here's a 3 min 40 sec radiorip of Wiley - WD25. http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2GPUQ3HGAK2L237C16GQ1UNGK7 I think this one is great. It may not be the greatest lyrics ever written, but they're good and I love the flow and the beats. Flow-wise I'd say...

    I also thought that this was "Shanghai"! So how does the real "Shanghai" sound? Can someone upload a snippet of it, or is there any online store with soundclips where it's still for sale?

    questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

    This is something I've really been wondering about: Why is Jay-Z often mentioned when Dizzee Rascal is discussed? Is Rascal somehow considered to be "the Jay-Z of grime" and if so, why?

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    I think the "thing" with this tune is that it's a cut up version of, not just any piece of classical music, but actually "God Save The Queen". You can hear this better if you listen to the clip on http://www.independance-records.co.uk/ug.htm because here you get the intro of the tune, which you...

    questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

    The reason why I think people say your comment as containing latent, maybe not self-admitted, homophobia, is because you at first talked about "having a disgust for the intimate physical acts homosexuals carry out" and then when questioned said that it was a purely medical/hygienical issue. The...

    questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

    If this is your reason, then why would you be talking about "the intimate physical acts homosexuals carry out"? Why not just say "anal sex and oral sex"? And why even bring up this question in this discussion? These acts ought to be just as disgusting to you when performed by a man and a woman...

    hip-hop, where to begin?

    I'm just dying to know where you have lived and what you have listened to before. Can't you please tell the readers of this thread a little bit about your self and your musical background? No offense, but to me it's just unimaginable that ANYBODY could be this clueless about hiphop in the year...

    questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

    Wow, that's just great. So if we would agree that Jamaican dancehall artists don't literally want to kill homosexuals, it's would all of a sudden be totally okay for them to say that homosexuals are the scum of the earth in a lot of their song lyrics?

    questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

    I'm not sure that I get the difference here. Is your point that if for example Capleton says "Slew all battyman", he isn't literally ordering his listeners to go out and kill all homosexuals, but just telling that the way he sees things, it would be nice if all homosexuals got killed? But then...

    questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

    I'd say that the word "slew" is used in two contexts: the term originated among Jamaican rastas and was popularized by militant rastafarian dancehall and new roots artists in Jamiaca, first and foremost by Capleton. In this context it refers to the righteous killing of anyone that is considered...

    Someone over at RWD forum said it's a Chunky B tune called "Sweets". I've never heard before that he ever made a tune by that name, and I can't find any info on it, so I don't know what to think...

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    I'll try not making this a habit, pestering you with "name that tune" questions, but this one I've been wondering about for year now. Anybody knows what riddim this is? http://s61.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2ALF5OEBB7YIG20L9RRA5X1YXV The clip I've put up consists of two parts. The first part is...
