Pitchfork has apparently retroactively changed the tagging on all the grime albums they've ever reviewed from being "Electronic" to "Hip-Hop". This includes everything going back to 2003 and 2004 with Dizzee Rascal and Ruff Sqwad and instrumental grime compilations too.

In a recent article, they described grime as being "the style of British trap rap with future garage influence that has bubbled up out of the post-Yeezus/Death Grips musical landscape".

What's next? Kode9 and the Spaceape are now hip-hop? The Ragga Twins? Buju Banton is hip-hop? Any jungle or garage or dubstep mix/set with an MC over it is hip-hop?


Just when you thought they couldn't be any more ignorant about club/rave and soundsystem culture (particularly in the context of dance music), they prove you wrong.

They only care about this scene on a very surface level. Hip Hop is more "culturally diverse" and marketable/relevant so obviously they're going to emphasize it more than anything else

>inb4 Americans thinking they invented MC'ing

looool cultural appropriation

i can't imagine my life ever being so bad that this upsets me. i can't imagine my life ever being so bad that i would even care about this.

Last one isn't even british you retard
>>
>>70719619
Yes, because they're rapping over a beat. Why is this so hard for you to get.

Also, all that shit fucking blows chunks. It may be hip-hop, but that doesn't mean it's not a total abomination.

I fail to see the problem?

You should call your senator's office, this is an outrage. I'm writing a letter right now, we need to mobilize and get organized. They can't get away with this!
