it's the "fix up, look sharp" for his new LP... i'm feeling it, but i wish the tempo was faster b/c it would mix with b-more a little better and he flows better at faster tempos anyway... he doesn't really make grime anymore... http://www.sendspace.com/file/k14109

    I hadn't listened to new 'grime' in awhile but i checked a mixtape a few weeks ago and was 1) impressed w/ the beats...some of these dudes should start producing for g-unit and 2) unbelievably annoyed by the rappers. I swear how can anyone listen to that shit for long? Most one-dimensional rappers in the world, hammering at you with obnoxious catchphrases and absolutely zero to say.

    I recognize this makes me sound a) hypocritical ("Dont you like MIMS?") and b) old but I think the difference is that while I like MIMS in one-hit-wonder doses its like the entire genre is like this - except they're more grating, due to their rejection of cool relaxed remove in favor of intensity and yelling.

    Dizzee Rascal is a notable exception.

    i feel you...

    you have to understand that grime mcing comes out of garage mcing for raves and pirate radio, where the mc was more of a host, chatting catch phrases... so, yeah, some grime mc's only have like 3-4 bars/phrases that they will repeat alot. however, in the last few years that has changed.

    Trim's nex mixtape "soul food" is completely bananas... i would def. check for that.

    trim's myspace

    also, Wiley's new stuff has been pretty tight as well... both of the above can hang on a flow level, w/o saying the same things over and over... i'd say at this point, Wiley, Trim, Tinchy Stryder, Ghetto, Riko (his verse on the new Stage Show riddim is ridiculous), Flo Dan, are all more listenable than Dizzee, whose flow has gotten really simple lately...

    Riko is great..."Chosen One" is probably my favorite 'grime' song to show up

    on Ghetto, great emcee, to hear him on a more "lyrical" tip check for the video of him rapping over one of his friends playing guitar... sounds lame, but he makes it work. Miles ahead of Dizzee Rascal and one of my favourite emcee's full stop, check the mixtape where he rhymes along to the piano rhythm on Gangstarrs "All 4 The Cash" beat, it's good.

    Pretty lame "think" was turned into a track called "pussyhole."

    In the UK "pussyhole" isn't some sex thing, it just means someone who's shook or pussy... people either say "pussy'ole" or "fassy'ole", they both mean the same and you hear it a lot in Grime or UK hip hop...

    Catch linked to the Fader piece on this, and when he mentioned it used "Think", I was expecting a b-more vibe as well, since a few wannabe-hipster London club nights are starting to pick up on that stuff. Personally, I think it's the best thing he's done in ages - I never thought I'd want to hear anyone rhyming over that loop again, but he gave it a real shot in the arm.
