Probably OG Season. Great tape that.

The original piece isnt really about this supposed grime 'resurgance'

while the proliferation and popularity of grime has without question been a dominant narrative of 2014, it cannot in itself be taken as a cultural rejuvenation of the genre

the titles a bit misleading

Thanks for sharing.

Just be good if the music is reviewed on individual merit rather than its relation to anything else that came before it.

Like any other genre

all the resurgence stuff is just for people who either didnt care about it to begin with or cared some point in the past and lost interest/lost touch.

there is something about the instrumental stuff though that i think is kinda like grime for people who never liked it to begin with, maybe cos they just dont like MCs (something people have said at all points of london dance music), or they didnt like what the MCs represented. either way, sometimes i do hear a lot of this stuff and think its not really grime, its just made by people associated with it. which still doesnt make it grime imo. eg - most of that mr mitch album.

this is definitely the case although I'd say the group of people this applies to tend to idolise a very small group of MCs (DEE, Wiley, Riko and a few others).

the ones who used to do jungle maybe

 

[rubberdingyrapids]

like 'yeah ___ and ____ and ___ are okay but everyone else is terrible'? yeah i dont really have time for that as there have been too many good Mcs in grime and that sort of statement just reveals their own biases/tokenism.

Reduce it further to "The ones who they know from cheap website 'Essential Grime Tune' lists."

You can take 100 of the current grime fans, start asking them MCs beyond members of Roll Deep, Ruff Sqwad and Slew Dem and they'll start to sweat.

This made me picture someone on Mastermind with their specialist subject as "Active Grime MCs 2002 - 2006"

Or Jeremy Paxman playing a clip of Swarvo on University Challenge and shouting "Come on!" at some hapless UCL graduate.
