UK Grime is actually really good!!

[Elevated ATLien]

Welcome to the genre friend . Here's another grime classic, skip to 1:55 for the song



And yeah Boy in Da Corner is the GOAT grime album to many. Unfortunately Dizzee switched to a more pop music style for a while. But now it seems like Dizzee's stopping with the pop records, thank god. Skip to 0:35 in the vid

[Kendrick Llama]

Boy In da Corner is classic album


and you nikkaz discovering it in 2015


well Ye did good job I guess

 

[dirty_yo]

I dunno breh album left me bare disappointed when it first dropped, Playtime Is Over on the other hand had BANGERS!!

I don't necessarily disagree. I probably played Playtime is Over alot more and even listening to it now it sounds way more fresh but I can't really deny the impact that Treddin made on the grime scene. That sound and Boy In Da Corner pretty much defined the genre.

fukked with this heavy when it dropped


Can't have a grime thread without

 

[mortuus est]

 

[Dynasty]

Too many banger in this thread

 

[Grizzly]

 

[Dynasty]

I lurk on this shyt, thought I'd sign up because it's annoying when these threads pop up and people who probably werent even into Grime like that start giving these strange examples of Grime.

The other day I saw a don try post a Choong Family track as a Grime example



People need to stop posting bait Channel U tunes/trashy "Grime" mixtape tunes as examples, the real essence of Grime comes in the form of a radio set, shout out the people posting Channel U tunes talking about "real Grime" but have never locked pirate radio in their life

If you wanna know what Grime sounds like, listen to...





^^ Those are from the "golden years" the ones below are from recent times





OP if you really want to be able to get Grime and hear it in it's purest form, you need to be listening to pirate radio sets from the early to mid 00's.

But tbh Grime aint a thing no more anymore though, black UK music goes through an identity crisis every 5 or so years, we should have just stuck with Grime as it was the realest musical representation of young black britons, but whatever.

The only crew in grime right now keeping the essence of grime alive is Slew Dem and these younger guys like



the energy, the way everyone knows each other lyrics and the way they know which bars deserve a reload at the time. that is pure energy.

Have to admit I find the sudden 'rebirth' or lets say acknowledgement of grime in the mainstream very strange tbh because the bars at the moment do not match the pedestal it's been placed on by Kanye/Drake or whoever. Skepta stumbled upon his current aesthetic, Stormzy isn't all that and generally the work rate in grime is poor as fukk. Gucci Mane releases like 5 albums from jail in the time it takes a grime mc to vocal an instrumental. It's all weird as fukk to me rn.

Maaaann, these days i lock onto rinse fm and all these stations that back in the day KNEW what grime was ... and now days they just playing TRAP music in 140bpm form and the guys lacing the lyrics over it are just chatting in a US flow and using drake style punchlines and i think WTF ..... the only difference between these guys and american hip hop is the accent SMH



the beats are 70% what makes grime what it is, and this is grime all day everyday. TRY and spit some trap style lyrics over this and youll sound like a dikkhead

There are some interesting instrumentals floating around but no one ever vocals any of em.
