fact music
I'd hazard a guess that most producers on the bleeding edge of Funky, Wonky (and whatever new sound is being crafted in some teenage bedsit) couldn't care less about the nuum and just make music to move the dancefloor on the weekend.
this is the suggestion alex made a while back that people were criticising.. mms made the point that it can be internalised even if not acknowledged.. idk, it's all conjectural really. i could point to examples of grime mcs and producers i know who are as into us hiphop as they are jungle and uk garage.. or reggae and dancehall.. or rock and pop.
