The article looks a bit bland. I'm looking to add a picture(s). Any suggestions??

Here's the link, in case you haven't already seen it

it's a grime thing, so not very relevant to the wikipedia entry.

it's a reference to Jamaica's notorious Shower Posse that got adopted by Roll Deep and then everyone else in grime.

I really don't like the article so much.

Don't want to bring up the dead horses (break/half/dubstep) again, but parts of the article seem to me more attention to providing a normative, actually excluding definition of dubstep (how it should sound in order to be dubstep) rather than describing the plurality and richess of the sound in an inclusive manner.

Which is a pity, as for me this remains one of the most promising aspects of dubstep.

No doubt. The article is by no means perfect, but Martin was kind enough to provide the bulk of the text. If you think something has been overlooked, then by all means edit it :D
