grime in 2004

there's a jammer remix of the new roots manuva single by the way. roots redoes his vocal so he sounds kinda like a grime MC in how he spits on it.

demon does the armshouse lyric.

Talking about new Rolldeep stuff, what's that mad riddim that has a classical string sample on it.

-- 3underscore (tripleunderscore__...), December 1st, 2004.

The Kode 9 10"s are totally amazing, but probably dont get a mention here because this is a grime thread and they're more part of the dubstep scene.

out of interest where did you play them tripleunderscore?

Think of all the new Roll Deep stuff, aside from Shake A Leg, Back In The Day (produced by Target, nice piano sample, featuring Wiley) is one of the beautiful pieces of music I've heard in ages.

after that horrendous band aid 20 thing, where he ruined an already shit remake and this, im starting to wonder about his taste and judgement.

i hate doogz so im not gonna mention anything by him cos hes too irritating and gimmicky. im sure other people could mention more than me.

just heard some audio of d double e MCing over jungle, and he sounded 359084958396895068396839056490584590386908690368903683906890383906839 times better than when trying to spit at slower tempos or trying to do more hip hop style MCing. amazing!!!!!

comb. form meaning "Chinese," 1879, from L.L. Sinæ (pl.) "the Chinese," from Ptolemaic Gk. Sinai, from Arabic Sin "China," probably from Chinese Ch'in, name of the fourth dynasty of China.

theres the d-double on jungle audio from radio. i dunno how anyone can hear that and then think that he should be making hip hop tracks. he sounds so incredible and right at home on 160bpms.

lol grime

how has this aged for yall half a decade later??

pretty well tbh! another song that was played at the protests so the kids haven't forgotten it either.

we have "pow! 2011" doing the rounds now too (with jme, wiley, kano, p money, 2 face, ghetts & chipmunk)

Fwd 2011 isn't very good really, someone needs to take Kano and Chipmunk to the knackers yard really. I'd argue that grime probably means more and is more relevant in Britain in 2011 than it was in 04-05, ie premature internet hype phase.

Also, Flockaveli is basically a grime album.

wish there was more Run The Roads tbh

like i always enjoyed grime, but not nearly enough to do the actual homework on cobbling all the rando singles and YouTubes and radio shows that fueled it.

Does Spotify work in the US yet? There are a load of grime playlists on there, although that's obviously a bit selective.

i wish the bit from Lord of the Decks w/ d double e riding his moped around Newham was on youtube. classic material

"how has this aged for yall half a decade later?"

High points of grime (of which "Pow" was one) still sound really good to me.

Admittedly I probably (like with jungle, garage, well anything UK continuum related) have way way too many discs which lean more toward the mediocre than the sublime, but that's sort of how this works isn't it?

I'm really excited by stuff going on here atm.
Marger & Rival were set to be a major team, - as demonstrated by this absolute boy of a first set on Logan:

but now Margs has gone ego nuts & has basically told Rival to go home and get his fuckin shinebox- "sent to the shop, sent to the shop, Rival use to get sent to the shop". The dub also featured a little send for MIK, who's certainly got a reply. It's not likely Rival will reply- he seems really upset on Twitter.

Instrumentals are v. v. strong at the minute. I love the Spartan meme. the newest remix basically made me dash all my stuff across the room:

these are all amazing in sets:

Oil Gang, Butterz & Pitch Controllers are now doing the releases thing properly, which is great to see.

Trim is back at his best after being in a weird memory crisis last year. It seems that war keeps him going:

Chronik is out of jail, and sounds terrifying these days, and of course Wiley after the avalanche of new music last year has reached an apex of creative zen:

marcus nasty needs to slap kano's mum again for that fw2011 verse. "oh what big bars you have!" guhhhh

Also, Flockaveli is basically a grime album.
