They're like bastard children.... The DIY ethic, the attitude, the core audience creating their own culture and being dissaffected by popular culture and society shunning the artists and the music but music journalists and photographers writing about the scene and making it the "new big thing"...

Nope! The BEST Gangsta Grillz CD hands down was DJ Drama & Little Brother's "Separate But Equal"...the most FAMOUS and POPULAR one is Young Jeezy's "Trap Or Die". It made him into a star overnight, damn near. One.

Three 6 Mafia The best thing about them is the OCCASIONAL classic beat made by Juicy J and DJ Paul. They aren't NEAR touching the catalogues of other great Hip Hop crews or producers, but they have many crews and groups in the South/Midwest owe them a debt of gratitude since they influenced...

Ehh... I'm STILL not sold on The Source as a serious hip hop publication as of right now. I'd rather read Mass Appeal, The Ave, XXL, Vibe, Elemental, Insomniac, Scratch, Don Diva or HHC. I prefer serious hip hop news...underground hip hop news. I get a lot of it through online sources. One.

Fuck Benzino. One of my cousins is Twice Thou aka E. Devious of the former Almighty R.S.O./Made Men crew and owner of Antonio Ansaldi Gear (leather goods for celebrities, athletes and wardrobe for films "Shaft"). He was in those groups with Benzino BEFORE he was ousted for being a bastard. He...

Huh? I find it scary that with all of the great Hip Hop that's been coming out, it's been four days since someone even COMMENTED on a song or an artist...anyways, here's a link to the new joint by Jin "The Ambassador" http://xxlmag.com/online/?p=2138 Also check the following joints: The...

One In the Northeastern part of the US (where Hip Hop culture originated and the aesthetic that hip hp purists refer to as "real hip hop" was formed) around 15 or 16 years ago, cats started saying "One Love" (like the Bob Marley song) at the end of songs or messages or letters and it soon...

NAaah, man. Chedda is slang for money. Since they always have a hell of a lot of money or project that their doing well financially, they're referred to as "Chedda Boys". One.

Nope! It refers specifically to the paint job/customization job done on the cars/vehicles that artists from the South/West drive in. It's prevalent in Atlanta, Memphis, Houston, and parts of California...not done on the East Coast that often except for Miami/FL. One.

The Trap The spot that you sell drugs from is called a "Trap" or "The Trap" if it's a strip that contains a bunch/crew of trappers or D Boys aka Dope Boys . The act of selling drugs is called "Trapping" and when you become popular/rich you become a "Trap Star" or a "Ghetto Celebrity". It's...

The Phrase Of Doom!!! "There's something for everyone on this album!" It's the kiss of death in 80% of the cases I hear that phrase used...worked for Kelly Clarkson, though. One.

Oh man... I'm American and you're entitled to your opinion (it's your right as an American...for now). I think you are ABSOLUTELY wrong. I think the problem is that we as Americans are too damed arrogant and think that just because someone has an accent that they're morons, retarded or weird...

New Roots Banger! "It Don't Feel Right" The Roots (alleged) first single of the new Game Theory LP: http://xxlmag.com/online/?p=1689 One.

Naaah, man. I read it the first time...I was actually agreeing with YOU and talking about the "hipsters" and "scenesters" that I ALSO derided in MY previous posts...in retrospect my post looked like it was talking to YOU instead of the jackasses talking about "Grime's rubbish now!" and all...

Beware The Ides Of March!!! Grime is in a TRANSITION PHASE...all young forms of music go through this...Hip Hop has been through about 8 or 10 in my LIFETIME...Stop running around and screaming like it's the Grime Apocalypse or the damned Garage Ragnarock...Grime is not going to die soon...

This is more brilliant! A thread where people in the UK are wondering where Grime went wrong...meanwhile in the US, MTV2 is running a special talking about how Grime is the future of Hip Hop.....that's just smacks of irony, does it not? One.

All forms of music go through this... Grime is in a transition phase right now...that is all. One.

Goodness! To further push the point of the parallels between the two styles of music, here's a link to a thread about what's causing the downfall of Rap/Hip Hop nowadays (on the commercial side, the music is sad, but on the underground the music are culture is in NO DANGER WHATSOEVER! Just look...
