Garage is basically house music. I notice the newer stuff even starting at the early 00s has a more shuffling type of percussion and breakbeat style to it.

I've listened to some UK garage records from the 90s and it just sounds like that soulful Chicago/New York stuff that was coming out back then...

one of my favorites...


Compare that to American garage (Greg Cash from my hometown of Pittsburgh PA...before he moved to the GO)

I remember this tune, thought it was garbage then and still think it's garbage now. Does he have any other song worth listening to?

Grime is usually 140 bpm, and is basically a mix of MC'n and a shyt load of music styles that were popular in the UK. Like drum n base, UK garage, jungle.

Old school grime.

Was this the response or stimulus to that Southside song?

Those two are similar garage though. We call that vocal/4x4 or Sunday morning garage, as it was a lot smoother.

These are another type of garage which is no where near what you posted (no hate), skip through, you'll hear how it changes:

They trolled him to death in UK and the style of music he was making(which I forgot the name) fell off.

Not house.

But he was a Garage/Rnb singer, couple of his tracks on his album are what we would describe as Garage.

And this was the song which got him his breakthrough.

HnG/UK Garage. Same shyt, its semantics. UKG faded and that "What's you flava" single was corny. Didn't really come with much that captured the publics imagination after the first album.

He (or whoever was managing him) made some really boneheaded decisions (not releasing his third album in the US despite it being tailor made for American R&B listeners, his shytty fourth album, greatest hits, releasing an album full of Motown covers when his fans were begging for new material).

Shame. He was one of the few R&B dudes that I really liked at the time, but he just wilfully turned it off.
