grime in 2004

?

the background tune in problems is v similar to my favourite dub that used to get played on the last few roll deep shows on rinse.

my favourite bits
1)wiley and jammer go to the urban music conference. wiley saus to camera
'now, let's find some yoots and make them clash'
they find the yoots and make them clash. they're really good as it goes. i like the one with the big afro and the one in the blue tracksuit and cap who's veins pop out.
2)crazy titch being crazy.
3)wily in the studio with his hats and his trainer collection.
4)ruff squad doing flying kicks and showing off 'the whips'

other highlights-
skepta and jammer both totally wrecked, jammer on the high-grade, skepta on champagne.
the comedy DTI video.
shifty's hi-top
davinche's afro
doogz' addidas ensemble.

everyone is VERY camera shy and i have to warn you the prodcution values aren't that high, ahem, ok sometimes the interviewees get drowned out by the sound of traffic, ha! but, what do you expect, look what it says on the box
IN DA STREETS FOOTAGE

here's all the people on the DVD
crazy titch, d.e.e, doneao and crew, doogz, east co, essentials, j.me, skepta, more fire, ruff squad (and extended devons road crew) wiley, NAA, and a cameo from davinches afro.

Wiley's hats crack me up. Also D Double on his bike, JME, Jammer, and Skepta drinking champagne in the studio for Skepta's birthday. I'm still getting through it all, but it's gold and it makes me homesick for some reason. :( Haven't heard so many London accents for a while...

i'd love to place problems, as soon as i get 10mins i'll do an mp3 of the dub i'm talking about from the rinse shows last year.

yes! wtf is it??

I might be able to put some stuff off of the DVD online...

Toby, La Regle Du Jeu is f***'in murky, believe.

i hereby confess to never having heard problems.

i have heard a doogz tune about the desirability of going back to school though.

HEY!!! i NEVER said i don't like MCs, i'm just fussy because there are so many shit ones out there. standards are no bad thing.

Jean Renoir! 1939! Not so grimey on the beautiful superblazo BFI DVD you need this fucker in your lives. It fucking roxx. Renoir: pioneer of street level realism: obviously ardkore.
