I found this transcript on a blog. Large parts will read like gibberish, bare jokes still... I'll happily straighten out any beffudlements . This is an old track by Wiley aka Eskiboy, originally of UK garage crew Pay As U Go Cartel, later founder of Roll Deep (and arguably grime itself). **LYRICS** Yeah Big up msm in the building Eskiboy 2 6 Tunnel vision volume one You know who I am Big up all my roll deep thugs Boy better know thugs North south east west We're doing this thing Big up everyone inside the uk Eskiboy Running the show Listen My names eski if you don't know me Eski if you don't know me The way I stay live on the daily's crazy I get short tempered, Don't talk, pay me Turn to the darkside if my days ever get rainy Drain me? never not maybe Yeah I do know Jamie And I know Sadie Her she's a cool young lady Back to the way I live daily Had bare dough but that didn't change me Yeah I got a daughter Newborn child but her name aint Amy I aint got a winnie the pooh scarf But you can bet I'm getting one So stay away from me I'll spray three eighths and I'm not even crazy Not even lately Don't **** about cos you can't irate me Wile out one don't know how to take me Take out crews on a daily I said I take out crews on a daily standard I done the dance more than your whole gang could I swing through man just like Flowdan would I aint from brentwood, I come from danwood Straight from man a bad man wood Stand in flames you could not Cos you aint from danwood You're whole plan would flop If you come across me and got lary, standard The bars are right they're like scriptures I'm famous and everybody takes pictures I had faith since decks and mixers And you're a non believer So I can't see you in the distance Picture the game as a whole Healthy like the boy better know tee business J's my witness I'm a musician ask Skepta Three of us talk We make a decision You know me I got good vision Rude boy listen Don't f about There'll be a rude boy missing When the goons start fishing I'm a L O N kid I got the hood snakes hissing Me, the shotter that you couldn't really see Made the dream come true after years of wishing After years of dissing Years of swinging I still do the crime and walk No singing See the level I'm at, they wanna be at The brake horse power's like a 20 valve fiat There aint a club you won't see me at Cos I'm a street star Theres no set time I have my tea at You might see me draw a g at HSBC at Canary Wharf retail therapy's me all week shot a key at 28 g at 20 past 3 27 big achiever E2 weaver Had the first sega Blood I emerged out of jungle fever Volume one Creeper Roman street sweeper Don't get gash by the hour rudeboy I get gash by the meter Wilehouse senior Them all lean yeah E3 teacher UK speaker L O N preacher Trinidad bloodline Eastside thats where I ride I'm a leader East London advertise a reader Redwood bluewood I'm a light sleeper Stepney green geezer Aint had shisha I know Caroline but I don't know Alisha I don't really care if either one of them Done a thing with Josh Perry or Peter My love for them's nowhere on the meter Eskidance keeper Get the weed cheaper Quantum leaper The Tottenham high streeter Eskibeat beater A star reader 4 times community service breacher Back to court Facing jail Case beater Robbery, burglary Dad got nicked cos of me The police thought I was a phone shop dealer Back in the day I was a wheeler and dealer Fly to west where the sky is blue and grass is greener Paul Smith jeans suit air max typhoon Tchung gash greeter Yeah I know Jenny but I don't know Rita My mum's family comes from Antigua Yeah Eski boy Shut your mouth Last edited by Molecules; 07-19-2008 at 03:54 AM. |

Dizzee Rascal - Stop Dat
This is grime's would-be posterboy (these days Raskit avoids the term 'grime' in interviews); the album is still considered the best example of the genre. Alot of these lyrics are rave bars he'd been using on pirate radio for years, which you'll be able to hear on this magnificent new website which collects together classic sets from the 'golden era' of grime ('03-05ish): grimetapes.com Why the golden era? At the time the scene was based around raves (a scene long since killed dead by the London Met) and pirate radio (now it's cheaply-produced mixtapes that are instantly bootlegged online, and zero promotion). It was still early years so the 'grimey' 2-step production style was still the standard i.e. the beats were miles better. Some of them are tape quality for grimeheads only, but if you use the Zshare link you'll be able to hear them before you d/l. I particularly recommend any of the N.A.S.T.Y sets, they were probably the apex. **LYRICS** Stop dat Start dat Get dat, wah Been der done dat had dat, wah He's got a Nokia, take dat, wah Rude mouth, loud mouth watch dat, wah Pretty girl, buff girl Doggy, dat, wah Dizzee Rascal's on da format, wah Bad manners get a backslap, wah I call da shots like top cat, wah Track and stack whores done dat, wah Come on rude boy come prove dat, wah Boy in da corner, I'm dat, wah Loose school lyrical Bow-cat, wah Best friend, sole mate, wats dat, wah Girlfriend, wifey done dat! , wah You can't know me, know dat! wah Dedication to show dat! wah Chuckin' MC's like stones Bad boy forever like Sean Puffy Combs Inside, outside runnin all zones Set trend, get girls like Tom Jones Brake bones, brake your house, wifey's home, yes wifey don't leave me alone Dat boy's arrogant send for da chrome Come bare-foot like Fred Flinstone You got a big gun? Come bring it out Butterfly-knife come along fling it out we could jus do it old school Swing it out I suggest you best start winging out Who's dat? Wat's dat boy in my eye? Yea man, quick man, start spreadin out! Kidnapped, takin rascal's hideout Cold sweat, tie you up, get burnt out! Boys, girls start movin' Come on, Girls, boys start movin' Alright don't stop, don't stop, till it's hurtin' Come on don't stop, don't stop, till your bleedin' Alright boys, girls start your ting' Come on, Girls, boys start your ting' Alright don't stop, don't stop, till it's hurtin' Come on don't stop, don't stop, till your bleedin' Alright boys, girls start movin' Come on, Girls, boys start movin' Alright don't stop, don't stop, till it's hurtin' Come on don't stop, don't stop, till your bleedin' Alright boys, girls start your ting' Come on, Girls, boys start your ting' Alright don't stop, don't stop, till it's hurtin' Come on don't stop, don't stop, till your bleedin' Alright! Got a screw face all night all day Screw face kids brothers aren't paid Screw face means kid why you waste away Screw face means get out my way Screw face means you don't know me, what you lookin at what's your beef?!? Screw face means I'm not havin it Screw face means I'm not a chief Screw face means I'm not happy right now Dat's why no smile was used Screw face means I'm not pleased Screw face means I'm not amused Screw face means I jus wanna walk not talk Screw face means I jus wanna leave When I activate my screw face, gimme space Screw face means let me breathe! I got sick flows Make an MC have to walk on his tip-toes Life aint always nice That's how **** goes You know we're goin on black Cause we're black crows And I cant be seen wit these sick hoes We're bustin us mic till your chick goes You are not, not gonna be Till we kick toes Your girl's the same as all Bimbo's, freak's and nimpho's I got an idea, make dough on the spot I mean right here Lock your girls up in for da whole year You can bring drama cause I don't know fear I'm violent, feels so clear Move to the mic Mc's are like oh dear Some try catchin me but they're not nere Not ever, not now, or not here way too hot here Look, yo girls, ladies do da butterfly, shake your battie low, shake your battie high don't ask me who, where, when or why Wanna see a battie raise high to da sky girls, ladies, do da butterfly shake your battie low, shake your battie high don't ask me who, where, when or why Wanna see a battie raise high to da sky Last edited by Molecules; 07-19-2008 at 03:43 AM. |

I have decided, lest this thread end up on the ash pile, to post weekly (fortnightly?) updates on the grime scene (i.e. underground electronica/two step-driven music from London) and leave it up to discerning posters to peruse, with one set and one track each post.
It's difficult to put across much of grime to unfamiliars since alot of it relies on a knowledge of slang (see here, a ham-fisted 'guide' I did a while back) or awareness of events in the scene since it's distinction from UK garage back in 2001. It's important to note that the scene also seemingly moves at 140bpm, and beats from 2004 are already considered old skool... Kiss FM's Logan Sama slot (one of two grime shows on UK mainstream radio, the other being Westwood's 1Xtra show) is traditionally the most respected platform for the talented yout - a platform that only Dizzee Rascal (and Kano less so) have used as a springboard to mainstream success... through abandonment of the large and dedicated listenership that made them (of course). I just discovered Logan's youtube channel, which has all the recent sets: The Set Random Impulse and Rinse (DJ - Logan Sama): Both display very hectic yet articulate styles (to call them 'hype' would merely denote simplistic rave/clash bars); with a lyrical depth and satire on the 'gun talk'-dominated grime scene not often heard. Both are from the collective G-Fam, Impulse's last mixtape 'Full Metal Alchemist' was amazing and Rinse's debut 'Attack of the Nerds' will, I predict, have reach beyond the grimeheads later this year. If anybody outside of the UK can understand the following video I'll be shocked. Logan Sama knows how to mix grime and get the best out of the MC's, but the heavy dubs don't set in until 4:00 with a beat produced by Skepta, which is coincidentally when Rinse reels off the bars that made me fall in love Part 2 follows. Classic riddim Newham Generals: Frontline (prod. Footsie) The first MC, Munk (he had several names, all of them ridiculous), has since found religion and left the Newham Generals - Newham being in southeast London. The other two, D Double E (unique flow once ubiquitous with pirate radio) and Footsie (producer and DEE's rasta-foil) have since signed to Dizzee Rascal's independent label Dirtee Stank and supported him on world tours; the album has been 'about to drop' for 3 years now They were known for tearing up the raves rather than their output. edit: the end of this video says alot Last edited by Molecules; 09-28-2008 at 03:34 PM. |

When i was in Oxford i'd go with my flatmate occasionally, 'twas an hour on the bus. We went to a couple of Dirty Canvas nights and last year (you'd have loved this) I went to FWD>> at The End - bare dubstep with grime in the other room. All very tasteful. I tried my hardest NOT to look like a hip North London fanboy for that one. Let's just say it was a mixed crowd. About 5 quid per drink aswell, but you save up for something like that

Now I'm an old bugger I miss quality nights out although Krafty Kuts is in this here town in two weeks so that is very tempting (and also off topic).

lol no no it all falls under that vast umbrella of hip-hop's cultural influence... Krafty Kuts will I imagine be a chance to see some real old skool hip-hop deck-athletics (I just KNOW there's a proper word for that?!). I went to see DJ Yoda once... well I saw the ad for his tour in a magazine. But it's the thought that counts.
