I predict grime will soon be officially dead. Thanks to Roll Deep, Kano, and the whole crossover grime lot (who knew it would catch on?).
So I would like to say an early "Thanks" and "Farewell" to Grime. I want to be able to predict the death of a genre before anyone else and jump off the good ship grime before it gets too full or uninspiring.

Come on. Roll Deep's hit was a Northern Soul track, Kano's was nu-metal. I'm pretty sure neither mark a SIGNIFICANT SEACHANGE in teh grime world. You can still buy white labels of acts nobody gives a shit about until your heart's content, don't worry.

Roll Deep had a hit?

i hope chantelle will release an official statement with audio to go with it because she has a very dulcet nearly-posh-totty type of voice when she speaks and it makes her sound like a proper buff ting and if anyone is the gatekeeper to grime on the net it is her and no one else

Number Eleven, if I recall correctly. "The Avenue".
