"German Whip" is great, I won't stand for it. Dan made better grime than Big H ultimately would, and he used to only be able to rhyme his name repeatedly.
The Big H era was a dark phase of Grime. Not his actual peak MCing which obviously Skepta and JME would ravage and harvest for their own success away from him, but that ugly cynical 2nd phase of his career that was celebrated on this very board! One flow, relentlessly rambling about the cocaine he didn't sell, bleak negativity after his failed turn into road rap "MY CATS PIPES SNIFF... Nahnahnah they ain't ready for this one, they ain't ready... I SAID MY CATS PIPES SNIFF".
Awful music, beloved by white university nerds but with none of the valour of Tempa T. Tempa T at the absolute worst was a grime MC even at his worst periods whereas Big H returned to grime knowing his past in grime would undermine his attempts at rap (which unlike other grime MCs who transferred to rap like Youngs Teflon, he was awful at) and turned in blatantly morose and self-defeatist music.
Dan, even at his worst, definitely couldn't function in grime the way he should've. But there was no cynicism in his music. There wasn't the blatant self-loathing and mercenary mentality of Big H, nor was it the blatant hucksterism of your Stormzys and Daves who successfully pimped out the last wave of grime enthusiasm only to return back to the rap scene they couldn't impress as rappers in the first place! But "Grime" celebrated them for it, and so it deserved it.
