An interview with Durrty Goodz. He has a very bizarre attitude towards what sort of music he makes.

Interviewer: "[Axiom EP] is 100% grime as some would call it. Was that a specific sort of decision? Was that on purpose?"
Goodz: "No no no no, I would say it's not even say it's 100% grime; I'd say it's 100% hip hop still... it's 100% hip hop because I brought dubstep mans together, grime mans together, and hip hop mans together all on one CD, and the whole CD is about peace, love and unity innit. And that's what hip hop is - that's what real hip hop is anyway."

The point he makes is that he just spits on whatever beat is hot on the streets, regardless of what speed or genre it is. I can appreciate that if he is actually able to keep the quality high (unlike Dizzee), but Axiom EP couldn't be considered hip hop in any way at all - not in its content, not in its delivery, not in the music... he's got a song on it commenting on garage's history on it for fuck's sake.

I think the problem with grime is that people are too reductive ("that's not grime, that's bait hip hop"), and it scares off the more open-minded artists or ones with different influences into saying they aren't grime for that reason. Yes, Wiley is grime, but when Wiley goes over electro on Wearing My Rolex, that is grime too. Dizzee is grime, but when he makes a shitty pop and hip-hop influenced album, although it is awful, it is still grime to me. Likewise, it's not hard to say that when Goodz comes back strong with a CD full of grime and dubstep production... it's probably because he's a grime MC.

I mean, he is going on about how he chose all these underground grime and dubstep producers because he "felt like these were the guys that were bringing it... bringing the basslines and the melodies that could lift up a whole club."

"That's what real hip hop is anyway."
Bollocks. You are making real grime music, Goodz.

maybe it's his bait american accent that makes him think he's doing hip-hop... ;)

I hate the people who bid on ebay auctions when there's still five days to go. You're just pushing it up for everyone else and yourself.

Oh, hurray. Discarda returns once again.
Can someone painfully take 5 minutes out their career to duppy this guy off if only so he doesn't even consider making another track again?

Scratcha wheeled up his new tune (if you can call it that) like 4 times or something stupid on his Feb. 14th show. I have no idea. It's over Fish Go Deep's The Cure And The Cause, and here is the jist of it:

OOOOOOOO-KAAYYYYYY
ITS LOOSE CANNON
BACK WITH THE FLOW
ITS LOOSE CANNON
OFF THE RAILS
ITS LOOSE CANNON
EVERYONES BREDDIN
LOOSE CANNON
LOOSE CANNON
CANNY CANNY CANNON
EVERYONES FEELING
LOOSE CANNON
I'M LIKE BLUD, I'M LOOSE CANNON

Yeah. The best part is later on he apparently did an interview asking him what he's doing for Valentine's Day. From what I remember of him from this documentary - probably not a hell of a lot.
