help me get into grime
 
i like a lot of the random **** i've heard on youtube but im clueless as to who these people are or what their standout albums are. i've never made any attempt to get into it really, it's always been something that exists over there and has nothing to do with me or anyone i know. but lately like i said i've been listening to some of the **** on youtube.

i've already got dizzee's first album

i don't need a whole history lesson tbh, don't give me older **** just for context if it's not top notch. just tell me whatever your favorite albums/mixtapes are

i know christian will have something for me. anyone else who likes grime is welcome as well.

Cuthbert 01-13-2015 03:02 PM
I'll send you some PM's in a bit pal cos you will struggle to find a lot of this stuff.

Post the names of the artists and tracks you like and I'll recommend some stuff I think you'd enjoy based off of those.

Must listen albums are:

Ruff Sqwad - Guns & Roses vol. 1 & 2
Neckle Camp - Straight Necklin'
Wiley - Treddin on Thin Ice

The best Grime is on sets though.

Try that. As I say depends what exactly you're looking for.

Cuthbert 01-13-2015 03:05 PM
Oh and Dizzee's second album 'Showtime' is worth a listen if you're a fan of BIDC. More of the same really, great album.

James 01-13-2015 04:04 PM
I'm no expert but this is a tune

Cuthbert 01-13-2015 04:19 PM
^ Best track of 2014 mate.

The Eskimo sound :cool:

John Wilkes Booth 01-13-2015 07:14 PM
good ****... i liked both of those videos

this is the **** i have been listening to:

Cuthbert 01-13-2015 07:30 PM
All of those tracks you posted are from the Boy Better Know label or people who are affiliated with that.

Both of JME's albums (Famous? & Blam) might be of interest to you, plus Skepta's debut album named 'Greatest Hits'.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVdfZRdNaDo

I'd recommend OG Season 1 from what you posted. I don't have a link but I bought the CD when it came out so if you want it I'll rip it and upload it for you then send you a PM.

If you liked P Money on that set, then I'll rip Money Over Everyone & Money Is Power for you.

And then send a PM obviously m8.

If you want any of the albums I've mentioned let me know and I'll rip them and PM them.

If you liked that Shorty track, Youtube - Shorty Million Voices.

John Wilkes Booth 01-13-2015 07:46 PM
lol @ him naming his debut "greatest hits"

Goofle 05-15-2015 09:37 AM
I've found a grime EP released this year that I like a lot:

Cuthbert 05-15-2015 03:32 PM
Yeah it's decent, that's that shit I do want to hear.

What in particular did you like about this? The production?

Goofle 05-16-2015 06:11 AM
Production is great, but I also enjoy the rapping. He's not overbearing or annoying. Just good work.

Grime is a truly interesting form of rap and seeing people (esp Americans - me included) navigate/try to understand it is a real interesting circumstance of our rap times.

I'm always looking for good things here - always was fascinated by the old Dizzee Rascal and Wiley stuff but generally don't much like what I hear (same goes for all rap - that is I'm interested but don't like much)

I like this man Kemo. What yall think?

Cuthbert 05-21-2015 12:40 PM
#Deece but more like Road Rap than Grime, compare it to the tracks Goof posted on the first page.

I've got the Grime 2.0 4LP set mint & sealed from Big Dada Records. Got it as a gift but I'm not really into it. If anyone from the thread would enjoy it, let me know. I've got it listed on Discogs for $21. PM for a link.

I'd love to find it a home where it'd be played and enjoyed.

Beat is too sick lol.

William_the_Bloody 11-14-2015 02:44 PM
For the life of me I can't get into grime either, outside of the rapping it's a completely different genre than American hip hop.

I don't be to be insulting but it almost sounds like second grade ragga, except your rapping over European techno beats.

Not that I can't be won over, I'm just not hearing anything songs that are worth playing repeatedly.

This is Hip-Hop but I was gonna post a thread for him, most interesting rapper out right now imo. He is flippin sick.

Allright that's a bit better, its got a trippy beat. I guess its just going to take me time to break into this genre.

You're Canadian aren't you? Maybe try some Tre Mission, he's kinda in the middle of Hip-Hop/Grime, does both. He's a lot more skilled than our Grime MCs and can pick a good beat. Grime & Dubstep seems kinda big over there.

https://soundcloud.com/tremission/tr...k-hill-prod-by

Wiley's last album had some Americans on there also, 'Snakes & Ladders', that was a good album.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1J_-4qG3KY

These will probably be easier for you to get into.

William_the_Bloody 11-18-2015 11:39 PM
First off before I respond what the F)ck is up with John Wilkes Booth! Deactivates his account, than activates than deactivates????

I think he should just come back under a new username. Hard to warm up to a guy with a name like that, you mind as well just have a KKK hood as your logo. Good guy otherwise.

Actually I like the Casisdead song much better, its got a darker edge to it, Wiley sounds too soft and contemporary.

Its not the rapping that turns me off, that part I like, it's the electronic beats that turn me off. I find a lot of it sounds too simple.

It could be that I'm just getting old & can't get past my G-funk, but here is one of my favourite songs of all time!!! so if you can find stuff on par with this, than I'll be hooked

What about this:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYgmsCBKmLM

Electronic/simple sounding is actually the style for the most part, it's electronic dance music really, though recently (2008+) the beats have started to develop a bit more. Arguably merged with Hip-Hop tbh. Here is one of the classic Grime tracks that is quite Hip-Hop sounding:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_1TTNeIZbw

Maybe try OG Season 1, that is a very good album, basically Hip-Hop:

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/og...-1/id283904848

If you have iTunes you can preview the tracks.

tbh, when I first heard Grime G Funk was mainly what I listened to with a bit of Eminem, I think the first track was I Luv U by Dizzee, and I didn't like it. Next ones were Tings In Boots and I think Gunshot Riddim and I didn't like those either. I've included them in the spoiler lol, even for Grime these are simple sounding:

I like that track you posted, the only thing I've heard from him before is a verse on a 2Pac album (All Eyez On Me).

Yes I know, I'm not too happy about his ban.

I like the first track it's solid. It sounds pretty culturally rooted with the reggae beat to.

I always wondered about that. Rap in America was always really culturally connected to the soul and funk music they grew up listening to, but grime often seems completely disconnected from the dancehall, ragga and reggae of previous generations. I'm assuming that its kids from West Indies decent that invented grime?

The second track sounds like something I would have to let grow on me, and I like the song Mister Jip posted to, so I'm coming around, but I'm officially too old to be cool now, just so you know, lol.

NikoGotGame 11-25-2015 03:36 PM
I can't even get into grime myself lol

Some are Caribbean descent (Wiley/Kano), some are African descent (Dizzee/Ruff Sqwad) and some are Brits (Mike Skinner/Logan Sama). Probably more African I'd say, but in terms of sound I think the Dancehall & Ragga influences are noticeable (less so now), but probably more noticeable in Dubstep, especially the early stuff.

Gotcha! Well when I have some downtime I'm going to go to lastFM and research the big names in Grime to see if I can get into the genre, cheers.

Ps: Hobgoblin is a wicked beer. We get it on import here in Canada

William_the_Bloody 08-23-2016 11:09 PM
I have finally had a breakthrough in Grime, it took me awhile but genre seems to be in the zenith of its popularity and the stuff I am hearing is just fantastic music!!!

It's a new breath of life into the genre of hip hop,which I feel has been badly needed. It's too bad the record industry collapsed, otherwise some of these artists would probably be as big as Massive Attack and Portishead were in the 90's over here in the US (abliet different listening artists)

Probably all well known names, but I love these tracks, I've been into Skepta for awhile now...





Lady Leshurr is F'n talented, & hot, Grrrrrrr!





I understand Stormzy has become quite big in the UK



I have no idea who is rapping here, I just love the video when he lights the microphone on fire.



Anyone else want to post some killer grime songs, please do!!!

Cuthbert 08-24-2016 08:06 AM
Lady Leshurr is the girl in my avi. She's cool.

She's bloody talented. I think she's sounds better than a lot of the artists currently topping the pop charts. I hope someone gives her a shot to make it big.

She had a record deal about six years ago but I'm not sure what happened with that - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1o2VnRr0lts

I know she just signed one for her album so she's definitely moving in the right direction. She's doing well building her reputation and buzz but she needs to put out a full release that is a bit different to what other people have done.

I hope she makes it, she deserves it more than anyone imo.

Cuthbert 01-04-2017 07:12 PM
@OtherGrimeProducers you can all stop now. The king is back and he's got some **** to get off his chest :cool:
