GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

[Pearsall]

I've never been a huge fan of 'Dream' actually! I did use 'Trapped', which was on the flip

Looks like most of the bloggers in this article didn't get started till after Grime's arguably most exciting moment had already passed, if you take the peak to be around 2003/04 or thereabouts.

boring point but the fact that’s 20 years ago is a wee bit nauseating

I knew Simon was big in that game but didn’t realise @luke was doing grime blogs too?

Everyone's very positive about Stormzy etc. I suppose it's nice on one level to be glad people are doing well, but it would have been good to see someone say that's it's all been debased since then and what we have now is watered down shite

I've never seen that blog but he was one of the first wasn't he?

first person to talk about grime on the Internet no doubt

I came very late to it myself but I remember seeing links to silverdollar and heronbone on woebot all the time (no mention of him either, though obviously he wasn't a 'grime blogger'') and they definitely predate most of the ones in this article

i literally was ask anyone.

 

[luka]

ive never heard of any of the people in that article

 

[luka]

i used to make up stories about grime people and prancehall would copy them as if they were real. i made one up about discarda snatching someones starter cap and chucking off a block of flats and he put it straight in his blog like it was the gospel truth lol

Just listened to this while mopping the floor, it's moderately interesting

JP wasn't around till grimeforum days and seemed to coincide with bassline more than anything, so makes sense that he doesn't know the minutae of early bloggers.

He did run one of the very few good grime raves of the late 00s in Chockablock, though, so not all bad

Shame grime is shit now really but nothing lasts forever eh

The first ten mins or so of this with the New York stuff is cool too.

Stumbled across these investigating wileys connections to dnb, some pretty interesting/funny convos to be listened to

 

[Corpsey]
