"UK Grime" is literally just British people rapping over trap instrumentals and adding some Death Grips influence into the beats, lyrics, and rapping delivery style and then pretending it's somehow EDM or something and not just ghetto britbongs aping innovative American hip-hop styles and turning them into complete and utter shit. Prove me wrong.
grime precedes trap and death grips by a pretty substantial timeframe so that's not really correct. it's also not really a derivative of hip hop so much as it is a heavily hip hop influenced development from earlier forms of british dance music/soundclash culture.
Grime was around before Death Grips
Traditional grime beats are influenced by trap but honestly sound a lot closer to dark garage - the overt trap influence is a recent thing ever since it came into vogue because they're two styles which are similar enough that crossover makes sense
Grime is directly influenced by garage and DnB, there's no 'pretending' it's EDM
MCing over music goes back to the dancehall/soundsystem culture anyway, That's where hip-hop came from.
In the case of grime, it was that soundsystem culture filtered through a fusion with British dance musicc/rave/club culture via the hardcore continuum which carried on into garage and dubstep (and to a much lesser extent, jungle/drum and bass/breakbeat) from which grime was directly birthed out of and coincided with in the early 00s.
Not to mention the concept of MCs on pirate radio (which was inextricably linked to british underground dance music and the rave scene from the beginning and throughout all of its developments even to the present day) both hyping up listeners, promoting events, or responding directly to listeners. When ragga MCing style and influence from the Jamaican diaspora became more apparent in the music around '92, '93, onward, it mixed two styles of pirate radio informational address, or personal callouts or storytelling/general chatter with the strictly hype-up patois at a lot of the nights This would mutate a lot over the years. Sometimes it was more Jamaican patois and ragga talk, other times more England-centric casual vernacular or laidback style of talking, often it had a lot of slang and speech patterns specific to inner city and non-Jamaican (or at least not first generation immigrant Jamaican) ethnic communities.

It's time for the older generation to step aside and make room for the young blood.
As a celebration of one of the best musicians still alive today it's time for a thread about him.
Favorite album? Song?
Best album btw
Starving in the belly of a whale
>>69542434
I'm partial to pic related. 29 Dollars is probably my favorite song. Either that or Baby Gonna Leave Me from Real Gone.
I just cant give up, I dont feel attraced by girls who dont give a fuck about music.
Does anyone feel like i do? Will I die alone, anon?
Pic unrelated
*attracted
Same but I'm also a girl so it's even harder..
What do you mean by "attracted"?
As in not being able to date or not being to become aroused?
For the last bit I have absolutely no problem doing.

>never seen it on /mu/
>tagged as britpop and progressive rock on rym, 2 genres I really dislike
>let's try it anyway
>it's one of the best alternative rock album of the 90's
How come did i never see this album on /mu/ ? It's basically the "what if Muse were good ?" answer, 2 years before Muse
>>69542067
The only thing I vaguely remember about them is that they may have been on the Spawn movie soundtrack
>>69542067
Mansun is GOAT, they are like Blur if they decided to make prog rock
>>69542259
As I said, I don't like prog rock, don't like britpop, and yet this album is still fucking really good.
It's been a week it is on repeat, and it is becoming greater with every listen.
Discuss.

orange > nostalgia > blonde
