This is a great one actually.

Can't believe this thread is 6 years old, I think of it as one of the "newer" ones.

I haven't posted in this thread before but what can you say about grime unless you actually ARE overintellectualizing it?

Here's a choon! ITS ALOT! or That's BIG! are about all I can say about the shit I listen to. I just really respond favorably to the stuff I like but not really to say anything much about.

I like grime. There is a lot of great underground shit in myspace. That is mainly the stuff I am listening to.

If I were to really indulge myself and attempt to explain it, I would liken it to the concept of terroir in wine and the issue of whether one would be inclined to drink the wine, appreciating it fully, or choose to blather on about tannins and licorice notes or something. I mean, I could tell you some good wines to go out and get or some nice MCs to check out but I usually only do that if someone asks me.

Also, it seems to me that nobody really big in grime wants to get hit with that tag (what they really want to do is direct). Fear of the conclusive death of "Grime" as such is palpable to me amongst them and no one wants to be left behind is my take on that part. I haven't made a systematic search of all the grime posts here but it seems like people are usually talking about the big names whereas I think the real action is just in some bedroom on a council estate and thus in myspace.

I'd like to see more Grime posts. I'm always lookin to check out the MC du jour, shatap.

with your firm grasp of the argot, you must be a native east londoner.

Please undelete, no beef is too active for our undying message board nemesis.

Ollie you haven't listened to any music since 1999, you don't understand that half of dissensus coyly flirts with the other side. It's regretable, but it's true.

lmfao the absolute audacity of saying this in babylon territory amongst yankee journalists.

Honda, good points as usual....yes, I threw up asian indie girls as an example because it just came to mind as an fun easy dis....I can very much relate to your dead-on observation about the other half - the asian kids of the riceboy mold that align themselves with the murkily anti-white thing...."toughness"....it's very assimilationist yet paranoid and racialized......I remember a crew of asian kids in my school that only played basketball and would actually get genuinely angry if they saw some asian kids playing "whitewash" sports like tennis or skiing....hang at billiards halls all day...keep it real, Wa-Ching....blah. Yes, they're just as weak....I think I just find myself noticing the anti-rap indie stereotype more because I find myself in situations where I encounter it more eg the net, music discussions - the riceboys are slobs but I never have to actually hear them talk music. Whereas the indie kids.....you have to put up with the same old "ummm....I prefer melody!" thing every 2 days or so....it's just in my face too much and it gets repetitive..... You're right, an asian indie antirap girl is no worse than any old antirap indie girl....there's just that extra insecure racialized baggage that makes them so much more fun to make fun of....I love how the most predictable behavior manages to snake out of those people....must have something to do with the sewage system

there's very little punk about big business and Eminem is more the latter than the former. You could also cite his horrible upbringing as 'tremendously rock n' roll' but eeh...
