Ok, I thought the Grey Album guy was American. But I'm not sure if it's the same person. Kano's "We Have A Problem" features a guy called Danger Mouse, and when I saw Kano at the Vice party in Stockholm a few weeks ago I think he introduced his backup rapper as Danger Mouse, although it was...

This is a question that almost belongs in the "questions I'm scared of asking because of music nerd cred"-thread: I'm confused, isn't there also a UK MC, somewhere between uk hip hop and grime that calls himself Danger Mouse? And the two got nothing to do with each other, right?

I'm so frustrated, I've been listening to Skepta - "The End". http://s18.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1XD5ONSO5M6C20Z8JIEZQDQA6R It mixes a lot of riddims and I can't figure out which riddim it is that starts 20 seconds into the song when he's saying "Bare wasteman wanna dis my tune, Same wasteman...

Ok, thanks! But is this really what he says? I doesn't sound like it to me.

This is the thread for you. A good thread idea, well deserving a bump: "questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?" http://www.dissensus.com/showthread.php?t=2349

Seriously? Nah... GBH? What would that mean? And he rhymes it with words like "great" and "weight"... I'm pretty sure it's something that ends with -ate. Bruza's "Get me", JME's "Serious", and Scratchie's warrior cry are among my favorites too. But... I thought there would be more? If you...

I don't think most of the things mentioned so far are real catchphrases, at least not in the sense I mean. A catchphrase should be something specific to one MC. It doesn't have to be a unique phrase, sometimes it can just be the way it's pronounced. Jammer's "Neckle" is an example of a...

Yeah, the Backyard riddim! Had forgotten about that That's in the same vein as the Cobra tune I mentioned, Not really jungle but still based on a fast breakbeat. I remember Baby Cham's "Boom Tune" being the version I liked best on Backyard.

I got a 7inch with a tune that could be considered a part of this obscure genre, "Slam Good" with Cobra. It's not exactly jungle, but it's definitely influenced by it. The beat just consists of a speeded up breakbeat loop repeated over and over again. Not very refined maybe, but still kinda...

Then it was grime related... I bow my head in shame... Still, thanks!

Okay, I was bragging about my vast knowledge of all things grime to this friend, and he asked me if I could name a tune he had been wondering about. Off course I said, so he sends me this snippet and it's some dubstep tune from a radio show or something. If I told him that "I don't know what...

There's a tune in this set that I can't stop listen to. It's 33 minutes into the set. I don't know much about dubstep, so it's probably nothing obscure. it sounds more like a hit to me. There are voice samples from Doctor Alimantado's "Poison Flour" on it, like "12 o' clock natty" and some...

Absolutely, don't get me wrong, it's not that I mourn this lack of grime tunes about THC consuming. I just think it's very odd. MC's pretty much chat about what's going in their everyday life (a tired old cliché, I know, but which still holds pretty true I guess), and they all seem to be...

Sino- is a prefix that can be used in any context (not just music) and it means that something has asian influences. The word is ethymologically connected with the word China. So sinogrime is tunes like Wiley's "Avalanche", "Icepole", "Shanghai" and Jammer's "Vice Versa" and Ruff Sqwad's "R U...

Well, the oldest song I could remember that uses the word "bashment" (with a little help from the excellent site www.reggae-riddims.com) is Bashment Girl from 1996 (Joyride riddim). So the term has definitely been around before 2000. As for the meaning of the term, it seems confusing. I like...

Another thread in the same vein as the one about political grime... I've been thinking about the fact that there is very few grime tunes that talk about smoking weed. Isn't that weird, considering how much US hiphop artists and Jamaican dancehall artists like to talk about this subject, and...

I was just going to drop this one, thought it was strange that the thread went on for so long before someone mentioned it. That really was the tune that drew my attention to how little grime MC's chat about politics, since it felt so unique when Bashy & Bruza all of a sudden did it on this one.

I've been fanatical about grime for a few years now, pretty much since music was starting to be called grime actually, but very sceptical against dubstep. A pretty common standpoint among grimeheads, I know. My first contact with dubstep was, of course, Rephlex Records "Grime" compilation. My...

To me, looking at the matter from an outside perspective (living in Sweden), it seems clear that although the word "ragga" (derived from "raggamuffin") exists in the Jamaican vocabulary, it is only in UK that it refers to a specific musical style. That musical style is exactly the same as what...
