Yup I've personally distributed Beats & Bars and Home Sweet Home to many heads...as well as a couple of Klashnekoff, Jehst, Skinnyman and Genesis Elijah joints to heads to open their eyes to the talent across the water. Jay's gonna have to do some serious work to sell Sov to an urban audience. One.

Village Voice (NY) article about Kano Here's an article printed in the NY paper The Village Voice on December 30th about Kano and the Grime scene in general. One. I'm not quite sure how this happened, but I guess Lady Sovereign is the one, the first UK rapper with a legitimate shot to cross...

Happy New Year!!!! Happy New Year and a prosperous new year to all of the users on Dissensus! Look out for Hellfire Club Inc./Hellsenda Productions in 2006!! One.

That's the problem... Yes, they usually gravitate to the baser side of the culture and think that represents the culture as a whole...that pisses me off. One.

Kinda sorta.... Light Touch wrote: All of this hyperanalytical nonsense about cultural differences and socioeconomic conditions is really a bunch of bullshit, and is irrelevant to the success of music. The success comes from intelligent and consistent marketing of a clearly-defined product...

Late Pass It's been common slang now for about 12 or 13 years...watch Belly...they say it about 50 times...there's even an imDb.com thread about on the Belly page. The Wu used it to death. One.

Same Shit, Different Country A friend of mine from the UK emailed me this article: Too fast, too furious Grime is one of the most exciting sounds since punk in the 1970s: it should not be silenced Natalie Hanman Tuesday December 27, 2005 The Guardian It has been the year of live music -...

Hey (i find it kind of annoying that you close all your posts with ..One)- Cooper. It's short for One Love. It's what we say here in the Northeast US at the end of conversations/letters. Happy Holidays To One And All! One.

Corporate Influences.... People inside hip hop showed other people who were in other underground worlds/cultures/movements outside of hip hop the culture, but they didn't do it to make it commercial. Even when Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant stumbled across graffitti and b boying they didn't...

Exactly!! You win a big ass teddy bear for that one!

Absolutely! Stezo's Crazy Noise was a classic. Ludacris was TRYING to make every song a single on his albums to get airplay and spins. He worked in the radio industry so he knew what to do. The business changed the music...in many ways for the worse. One.

Because.... Because after Hip Hop became popular and mainstream it became watered down and began to suck. I'd like to see Grime be incorporated into the underground scene in America. Right now, Grime is still evolving and is in essence pure because it hasn't been co opted by outside influences...

Ah well If you didn't start listening to rap/hip hop until '96.......One.

Yeah, but.... I heard David Banner's album "Mississippi The Album AND MTA 2: Baptized In Holy Water..I was a David Banner fan back when he was in Crooked Lettaz on Penalty/Tommy Boy records with Kamikaze. He is an educated man who is conscious and he used to make songs about it....recently in...

Easy answer! I PERSONALLY find substance in Grime. I PERSONALLY find substance in Anime/cartoons. I PERSONALLY like porn...not much redeeming social value or substance in it, is there? Why do I like it then? Because I JUST DO. People are complex creatures, with ideosyncrasies and multiple...

He's back! I do love those AV8 records, Fatman Scoop/DJ Riz and The Crooklyn Clan, Stick E. & The Hoods, Dope On Plastic, Franchise Records, DJ Mark The 45 King's Breaks & Instrumentals, etc. I ALSO said that I love all different forms of HIP HOP..that includes HIP HOP/RAP FROM ALL REGIONS OF...

Here To Save You All.... Exactly. You're right. It doesn't have to be deep and introspective to be liked or be successful. We DO need variety in music. I like a variety of hip hop acts and music genres. I just don't like Crunk...it doesn't appeal to me on any level. Early hip hop was...

Read 'em. I read 'em both thoroughly....I still like Grime and I still think Crunk sucks...let's all agree to disagree on that subject and focus on the question the thread poses....do you feel that the US is willing or will they EVER be willing to embrace a music genre that originated in...

I do. I do have a problem with 50 Cent, Fabolous, Snoop Dogg, Paul Wall, Lil' Wayne, Mike Jones, Ying Yang Twins and the list goes on because of their content and message (moreso the LACK of a message) in their collective music. To find someone who loves Showbiz & A.G. AND Project Pat is a...

Damn it! I typed up an answer to this that was so long that I lost my connection after the message that my post was 3x too large to post...I have DSL so that is indeed a feat. I lost my entire message, damn! Well, I'll try to summarize: Crunk isn't important to Hip Hop. It moves units so it's...
