grime in 2004

No.

it's like ok, but considering how much i loved it as an instrumental... it's disappointing.

i'm offically disappointed. i would have been more disappointed had i not expected to be disappointed. igloo is so amazingly good that you can only conclude that wiley's vocal sucks all the life out of it. which is a sad conclusion to have to come to.

i hereby confess to never having heard problems.

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

okay i like "what do u call it" 2000% more after playing it loud in the car today

did he reproduce "igloo" for it? the whub-whub-whub in the lowend sounds kinda gentrified

>even guys like martin clark who don't like the MC stuff like target

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.

yeah, it does sound a bit gentrified doesn't it, meddling cuntbags

perfect for dinner parties and gallery openings now

and anyway martin you should be proud, i jst mentioned your wiley cover story on my blog, what more recognition could a man want?

oh i'm honoured ;)

wiley beats regle de jeu! (haha is tht godard? um, or melville? no... no? no, tht's le cercle rouge, 'it's all french' innit.)

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.

due for release Feb 16th (I think)

mmm looks good.

Chosen One!

Nice to see Flow Dan on there, too.

Tim's 03 round-up, so good I read it twice over.

It's funny. The backing track for R.U.F.F. (which I really like)reminds me of nothing so much as early Mu-ziq.

Strange you say that, because Problems instantly reminded me of a few tracks off of Royal Astronomy.

Hmmm....

whoops...
this is the correct link:
RealPlayer-N.A.S.T.Y.

this doesn't work anymore... does anybody have a new download location? thnx...

more lotd2 comment: that wiley tune, bastard, sounds rubbish on the cd! he keeps on going, we're gonna push the bass up, push the levels, but the sound gets quieter! vocals too high in the mix!

my new best tune on there is the ears freestyle. mainly cos he uses so many silly grammatical tersm. go linguistics! "adjective and a full stop!".

also, i'm into the essentials tune. who the fuck are ears and essentials? luka? anyone?

essentials are some boys from new cross/deptford. there's quite a few of them. they did a tune called 'get over it' (i think) that did alright. they were on the young man standig show too, one of them can be heard saying (something along he lines of)
'oi, it' not fair, pass the mic, you mans are big already'
they're also featured on the dvd.

dunno who ears is.
i like the dancehall mafia one too, though ghetto is now in nsaty as i'm sure you already know.

few thoughts on lord of the decks 2:
- doogs sounds like a Eastend version of Bounty Killer (especially when she shouts "IT'S REEEEEAL!! THEY DON'T KNOW!”-stylee)
- wiley/kylie 'skit' – what's that all about? I mean, doogs said (on DVD) that the beef is squashed so why diss?
- Kano is a godawlful MC. Dizzee blasted his freestyle!
- too much wack hip hop titles in the second half of the compilation
Conclusion – 'Street Beats' comp. is much better. The best moment on 'LOTD2' is still NASTY 'Cock Back' (tha booomb!)
And yeah – was it a big problem to write the names of the riddims on the sleeve?

NdoubleA

*revive*

am back on slsk (fucking finally!) and d/l a bunch of wiley tunes as well as the lord of the decks 2 comp. anything else around recently.

Julio, get all the Ruff Sqwad you don't have NOW (if you don't have it all). You can get it from me. Use the 1st part of my email addy.

Grime thread needs love!

nordics I don't quite know how to search for an user name so I'm searching ruff sqwad instead.

Julio click anywhere on your user list, and a little tab will appear up top saying 'add user', and then you can add him.

thanks tico.

nordics where is yr ruff sqwad folder.

ummmm, all over the place. I will compile it for you when I get home. But you're tight with Toby, right? ;) ;)

heh, not yet in my user list on slsk but soon enough *triple winky*

thanks adam.

I'm just listening to Armour by Ruff Squad and I am totally hooked. Can anyone else hook me up with shit like this???? My slsk is choking_tara, choking_tara. Thanks

i keep hearing loads of total shite hiphop stuff. i blame dj samurai for encouraging them. lewi white's doing it, g-force is doing it, loads of people going that route. the new ones coming through seem to being going down a straight hiphop path. hopefully thats just a blip cos the results aren't promising. the scene does need new blood though.

P Jam

Producer of N.A.S.T.Y's track "War Talk".

Think he's from North London, maybe something to do with Double O Squad.

i was in jammer's studio the other day and him and lewi are making lots of US-style hip hop inc a cut up of Minnie Ripperton. no more sinogrime (from what i heard)...

oh fucking hell

Was it any good?

I feel like I put up with grime. It seems transitional and doesn't excite me at all. Where is a new hardcore-continuum dance genre whose aim is make me dance?!

Have patience!

I hope it's not a long wait like with DnB *ducks*.

spencer otm :[

I'd rather be in denial, darlings.

But ask me again in say, 6 months time.

holy shit! I just watched ashman's 'how it is' video on tht channel spizzazzz likes. he's like 14 or something!

Exactly! And who says grime doesn't have potential? Just wait until his voice breaks and he gets into Marillion. Then he'll really be on some next level shit!

seriously tho, he looks like a 'little sprites cheat' biggie!
