― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:39 (twenty years ago) link

and if i stopped downloading nu-dnb tracks like a chump.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:40 (twenty years ago) link

i'm d/ling from you now adam :-)

jess - do you have the latest version of slsk?

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 21:24 (twenty years ago) link

i think so. i'm actually on now, so if anyone wants to msg me (dubplatestyle) and point out the riches, i'd be much obliged (winky winky.)

(the perils of 500 mb hard drive...)

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 21:52 (twenty years ago) link

Everybody DL from me because as long as you are all still getting a connection I know that someone hasn't seen my Powerbook lit up through the front window and burgled us while I'm at work.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:01 (twenty years ago) link

ah fair enough jess. i'd share the other 8 gigs or whatever of grime i had if i had a bigger hard drive.

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:31 (twenty years ago) link

can anyone tell me anything about mucky wolfpack btw?

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:33 (twenty years ago) link

yeah, it's god's gift's crew, stamina, all-in-one, a white guy whos name i always miss, i think rigby's in there too, i'm sure i'm forgetting some people, all competant but no one really stands out, double g aside naturally. dunno if they've realeased anything as a crew but stamina and all-in-one appear on most of the riddims, pied piper, icerink etc

toby wasn't kidding about that vocal version of "ground zero". wiley's kind of an underrated mc, isn't he?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 22 January 2004 03:31 (twenty years ago) link

Heh I was waiting to disagree with you, but that is nice. He's still a bit weak lyrically, though.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 22 January 2004 04:56 (twenty years ago) link

the thing about wiley is, he was the hottest, he was one of the first to step up lyrically, his flow was sharp everything, then, i dunno if he was partying a bit hard or what, but his voice got fucked, started all cracking and going warped, his lyrics got lazier, timing got lazier all at the same time as the new generation were coming up and raising the levels again, so he got a bit left behind basically, but now he's a bit focussed again, still not back to where he used to be in about 2001, but just about up there with the best of them again. still definietly one of the best writer

'38 bus, thats where you saw me on the 38 bus
nah, thats what you saw you saw the 38 bus
i'm long like the 38 bus cos i never turn up'

'i know trouble, trouble said he don't know you
i know crime, crime said he don't know you
i know hard times. hard times said he know you
i know hustler hustler said he don't know you
i know whos who and whos who don't know you'

just cos you sport pink velour, that's your problem mate

― ', Thursday, 22 January 2004 11:52 (twenty years ago) link

haha yeah toby come tell him how i sport pink

― prima fassy (bob), Thursday, 22 January 2004 12:02 (twenty years ago) link

Who does the beats on Tinch's "It's Real"? (thanks, toby!)

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 22 January 2004 15:14 (twenty years ago) link

yeah, toby is the fucking don.

haha i know this is seriously old school at this point but dee's lines in "cock back" still make me tear up

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 22 January 2004 15:47 (twenty years ago) link

Interesting stuff up on Femme and Richie - streaming video of Doogz from Maida Vale/Wiley's "What Do You Call It?" (haha)/Sticky and Wonder in the chart/PAUG with Wiley and Dizzee-"Watching You" - what is this? anyone?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Saturday, 24 January 2004 09:20 (twenty years ago) link

Doogz is great and everything but I am not really planning to sit through a half an hour of video of him in an empty studio.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Saturday, 24 January 2004 09:25 (twenty years ago) link

But synthetic-apparel-fuelled breakdancing isn't enough for this generation. Oh no, they want grime. These days the average teen is busy "throwing up gun-finger", risking life and limb to dangle a coat-hanger from the 38th story of a council block in Hackney (something to do with pirate radio) or attending raves where people enthusiastically fire bullets into the ceiling - but only if a tune is particularly "nang". Which means good. Apparently.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Saturday, 24 January 2004 12:48 (twenty years ago) link

I just read that. It's a rubbish article. ("surprisingly enough" haha)

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Saturday, 24 January 2004 13:22 (twenty years ago) link

No, it's funny. A somewhat clued-in older person (i.e. over 22) not trying to pretend she's part of it. I can relate, to a certain extent. Unless she is actually taking the piss.

― JoB (JoB), Saturday, 24 January 2004 14:17 (twenty years ago) link

so am i the only person still getting last week's femme fatale show (starting with 'battle'), then? i want to hear 'bastard'!

'what do you call it?' is a shit vocal version of ice rink then. that's pretty disappointing.

― toby (tsg20), Saturday, 24 January 2004 17:14 (twenty years ago) link

Hmmm, that's weird Toby. Sounds like Tim was having some of the same problems. I haven't got to "Bastard" yet...

Whether black, white, Asian or other, all one needs is to be "from road" (have street-cred), not be too old and have "skills".

haha!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Saturday, 24 January 2004 17:38 (twenty years ago) link

Shystie has N.O.R.E. on her album?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Saturday, 24 January 2004 17:39 (twenty years ago) link

i hope lotd 2 is mixed a bit better than the first one...it sounds like they were making pause-button tape edits in their bedroom.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 24 January 2004 21:59 (twenty years ago) link

thank you for that. now I might have to start going to record shops other than improv and jazz ones.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 24 January 2004 22:20 (twenty years ago) link

don't do it julio, it's a trap!!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 24 January 2004 22:47 (twenty years ago) link

next thing you know you'll be wondering where ten years of yr life went

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 24 January 2004 22:47 (twenty years ago) link

haha no chance of that.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 24 January 2004 22:57 (twenty years ago) link

Julio don't forget to put your southeast london face on when you go to these record shops. You know, the one you used to walk through Woolwich at 1am after that improv gig in Hackney.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Saturday, 24 January 2004 23:23 (twenty years ago) link

will do.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 25 January 2004 13:35 (twenty years ago) link

(ie. NOT from the jammer mix)

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 26 January 2004 03:04 (twenty years ago) link

lotd 2 is pretty hot, actually, isn't it?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 29 January 2004 03:04 (twenty years ago) link

particularly doogz "can't hold me down". but "bronx tale" is straight up hip-hop pastiche in the worst possible way, from the title on down.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 29 January 2004 03:05 (twenty years ago) link

*salivates*

plz tell me someone is sharing it.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 January 2004 03:07 (twenty years ago) link

I mean, I looked into ordering it and getting it delivered to my parents house then over here but...

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 January 2004 03:08 (twenty years ago) link

Haha! Ummm, never mind.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 January 2004 03:10 (twenty years ago) link
