Whats going on, Grime?

Aint listened to any grime for time, last thing i got was Skepa which i rather like after a few listens.

I dont have much time to check 2 hour shows or decipher RWD, so thought i'd make a post on a more mature/serious forum....

in my opinion this is what grime is about. grime works soo much better when its 6 MCs passing round a mic spraying 8s and 16s over dubplate selection on a pirate radio station than full sturctured tunes. the hype is lost alot i think. 'boy in da corner' worked really well, along with a few others.

have you got any old grime sets from radio? if not i can up some.

not even too sure about new stuff...

i rate ghetto in a big way. "top 3 selected" especially.

mainly for his delivery over his lyrics. he has that controlled fury which reminds me of old school hip hop mc'ing.

Tron, yeh sorry mate.

I love 2 hours sets of grime, but i dont really know what sets there are. what i ment was i dont have time and knowledge to find sets, and listen to them to see if they are good. If you could sugggest some that would be great.

I was also wondering about releases though, not 12's, but mixtapes and albums if there are any worth any note.

Seckle, yeh alot of people rate ghetto. Personally i dont really like him, or durty goodz. I think they are too fast, and often a little too Hip Hop.

soul food vol. 1 was BAAAD. vol.2 less so but still decent.

some of ghetto gospel is really good, some not so much.

i dont rate really rate wretch. he does one tune about punctuation and grammer or something which i rate but otherwise im not feelin.

i like scorcher but he's more on a grimey hip hop ting than GRIME if you get me.

i think skepta's album is a lot. the rebound x tune i spy is tooooooo much.

i agree with t.man about the 2 hour thing. but sometimes its long when u hear the same bars being spat for 2 hours but when energy levels are high and everyones spittin on point its the best live radio there is imo. check the logan sma show with ghetto, badness, skepta, wiley, jme, maybe flo dan there too. have a search its about on here somewhere.

basically it depends on what you like and what you call grime, because 2004 slimzee is very different from most 2007 beats although clearly linked together.

i rate devlin a lot.

I love it on that Xmas Roll Deep Rinse session when Badness comes on the Mic and screams something and there's an instant rewind

Think its from last year yeah, Skeppy and JME go b2b for ages and JME is pretty awful lol

Matter of fact it's not that great a show, they're all faded so its funny tho.

Agreed on grime being best as a live/radio thing, the ghetto vs. skepta thing on kiss was the most exciting thing I've heard in ages.

Grime right now is doing really, really well. The levels are very high. The mixtape game has sorted itself out and raves are getting thrown a bit more frequently and DJs have a new enthusiasm for the genre. You've also got a new generation of MCs and producers coming into the game with a lot of talent and hunger.

For mixtapes:
Skepta - Greatest Hits
Tinchy Stryder - Star In The Hood (and his forthcoming 'Cloud 9')
Trim - Soulfood 1 and 2
Badness - The Lava Continues
Little Dee - Don't Let The Name Trick You
Chipmunk - League of my Own
Durrty Goodz - Axiom EP
P Money - Coins 2 Notes (download only I think)
Young Dot - This Is The Beginning (definitely download only)
Ghetto - Ghetto Gospel (and his forthcoming 'Freedom of Speech')
Frisco - Back To The Lab vol. 2 (and his forthcoming 'Peng Food')

There are loads more.

For radio:
Logan Sama
Maximum (Boy Better Know) to hear members of O.G. crew (featuring ex-members of Essentials) who are doing some of the most fucked sets right now
Fuck Radio 5 (Ghetto's b'day party)
All the sets surrounding the Ghetto/Skepta clash this year
Recent Westwood sets featuring grime artists, particularly the one with Chipmunk, Shalo Kid, Ice Kid, Brutal, Maveric and Griminal.

the deja nasty b2b roll deep set was sick, not sure when its from tho

tronman · Post by **tronman** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 11:35 pm

cant find the christmas day one but i came across this Eskimo Dance live set from november 2004.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/6lbrf0

its pretty good apart from donae'o with his sound effects lol and some of major ace's screamin. theres bare hype, especially when tinchy comes in around 6 mins.. and when wiley drops in after donae'o kinda deads it. instant reload. flowdan also fucks the set up. also got part of the wiley v doogz clash + baare sick slimzee dubplates.
