Its the same old story though isn't it... lack of infrastructure controlled by people who actually believed in Grime as a sound, rather than just hype of the month, which meant that artists either weren't pushed enough (still don't know why Kano didn't break) or badly A&Rd (ie Roll Deep trying waay too hard to get a "cross over" hit, and throwing the baby out with the proverbial...)
How/why did Dizzee blow-up ahead of any other grimers?

Roll Deep aren't Grime. Well at least that's what Breeze said on the advert they've been showing on MTV regarding their MOBO nomination
I feel that this only further illustrates my point.
a story
i was djing at a bar on tuesday, playing disco and electro, and a drunk sorority girl came up and asked for "beast of burden" by the rolling stones. i didn't have it, so she asked for any rock. i played "bang a gong" by t.rex and then "big beat" by billy squier. when it came on, she yelled "oooh, this is dizzee rascal!"
draw your own conclusions.
