    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    I've been listening to RIP Young Dot for a few days, really enjoying it. Interesting how he is quite monotone in his bars, then harmonizes his music with bits of humming, singing and sampling. Production is good, as expected. I also bought Rotten Riddims Vol 1-6 off of emusic.com, paid about 14...

    grime tapes upload thread

    Sets are absolutely sick, gave me flashbacks to scouring Kazaa light and the old rwd forum for sets (checking every Monday mornings for the uploads of Sundays).

    Grime unplugged...

    Kinda remembers me of his version of Pulse x (jammer remix), you know the beat is only two BOINGS a bar, and he pulls it off purely for his flow. Too much production would take away from his vocals, same here. And this has nothing to do with grime really. More of a...

    Grime unplugged...

    Marijuana is absolutely SICK. How is it not a good song? The lyrics are deep and meaningful. How can a song about marijuana be meaningful? Listen to it again, coz he's talking about spirituality and oppression. It's one of my top five songs for 2007 (I ripped it from a semtex show before last...

    I enjoyed reading this piece, it's quite in depth first hand experience of the development of house coming from disco. http://www.livingart.com/raving/articles/housemusic101.htm

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    I know what you mean. Plastician was touching on that a while ago, saying grime producers keep to a pretty linear format to their songs. He also used Joker as an example to producers of whom you can play a whole instrumental without it becoming boring. http://www.myspace.com/guidoproductions...

    ruff sqwad

    I've been able to not start on Wiley's releases and other essentials. Ruff Sqwad has been my only weakness, though I didn't buy all the Pied Piper vocals (that always seemed a bit pointless to me..). I do need Havana/Funktionz from Xtc though, I'll pay you better than Mos Dan / BokBok :p ;)

    Dancing in the service of thought

    I usd to be well into housedancing (examples of really good dancers: & ). The effect it had on me was bringing me into the present (here & now). Not thinking about what happened earlier or what happens next, but being very aware of the present. It's a similiar state meditation achieves and...

    The Record Industry's Decline

    But music has been made for thousands of years, it has been recorded for approx a hundred years. For the largest part music has been much more of an experience, an event rather than a tangible product. And it's only in the last few decades that records have been produced for a market, with all...

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    Durrty Goodz on Logan's show last night, he has a real talk version which is just impressive....real talk, real thoughts/emotions to and about Titch. Rip on rwd forum. Looking forward to the Exiom ep.

    dancehall artists agree to reduce homophobic content

    Don't believe the hype, this "act" is just for politics. Sizzla performed "Nah apologize" last Thursday, which is probably the most unambiguous anti-gay song he has. Beenie man signed a similar letter not too long ago.....

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    The flow does nothing to support him, but there are a lot of mc's with worse lyrical content. Check out this rwd thread: http://www.rwdmag.com/community/showthread.php?t=63757&highlight=monkstar He's not that shabby?

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    I wouldn't say his lyrics are unimaginative, that's probably the only thing he's got going for him! But he's very hard to listen to, no excitement what so ever. He's like a more intelligent, less entertaining Terminator. His productions on the other hand, are very underrated. In the generals...

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    Good for you! It's a great record, got it myself only a month ago. I went to see Wiley on Saturday. He came over to Holland and 'performed' at the Melkweg. :mad: Sjeez, he came on with Ny --> she did two songs (and impressed with her voice, she did a lot more vocal acrobatics than on her...
