Please introduce a latecomer into the world of UK Grime

Ok, so I finally decided to venture into this genre...Of course, I started w/ Dizzee's "Boy in da Corner", which I absolutely love! "Showtime" is rather excellent as well. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find anything else that even comes close to those two albums (Roll Deep Crew's "Rules and Regs", More Fire Crew's "C.V." and Wiley's "...Thin Ice" were all pretty "meh" IMO. So instead of continuing to throw darts blindfolded, I could really use some direction! I know there's got to be something out there in the same league as Dizzee, so please, educate my Yankee ass. Thanks!

I have been doing a search for an S&D thread on this (which I remember seeing) and it isn't turning up in my searches. It was called Dubstep and Grime S&D or something like that but it's gone (maybe it was in the sandbox...).

TS: grime vs. dubstep - which is the best of these UK garage offshoots?

Am I searching some weird way? I just hit search in ILX and enter in my search term. Am I now a confirmed idiot? Actually I don't think this is the exact thread anyway (convinced it was sandbox now) but (1) thanks for it and (2) please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

I have since checked it out and found that I don't really like most of the dubstep and grime I have heard but I do like what Wiley does a bit on some of his instrumental Southside records 12" joints that I Oinked to check out. once they start talking, I'm out usually.

I am very into a lot of the propa hip-hop that is bangin outta Croydon now tho...

Thanks again for the help.

The less I understand Dom's posts, the more disconnected I realise I am becoming from modern Britain.

He's not covered in incongruous dayglo colours like everybody else?

― admrl, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:25 (nineteen years ago)

i don't get dom's post.

― That one guy that quit, Friday, 27 April 2007 20:31 (nineteen years ago)

He doesn't like a band called Hadouken! (one of my current faves actually). Not sure why it's on this thread.

there was a rumour that Paul Scholes was manager of some grime crew in Oldham, but i think it got exposed that they were his niece and nephew

― 600, Friday, 27 April 2007 21:02 (nineteen years ago)

He's far too modest and unassuming to have a grime crew. No airs and graces, any of that.
