Why is no one talking about the new Stormzy riddim. It's banger of the year desu. Definitely the greatest grime song of all time.

Surely that's lyric of the year.

edgy nigger monkey music
i like the beat, but he kinda ruins it for me.
>>64367571
>Greatest grime song of all time
Bit of a stretch imo
it's a shame about stormzy you know
dude's got a great voice and a great look, but he literally only has one flow that's half-decent at best and his lyrics aren't nearly as smart as he thinks they are
man should pick up a ghostwriter or something
so he rapped over someone elses song and he's famous because
>>64367571
They look like they're about to behead some Christians in that picture.
>>64368171
Name a better one rudeboi.
>>64368171
Not him but what is the best grime song?
pls no Dizzee Rascal
was listening to it as i clicked the thread
its pretty good but the beat is not on par with shut up or man dont care
>>64368199

americans detected
>>64368227
u got me >='O
>>64368237
A lot of grime fans don't like Stormzy, They say it's because he's shit but it's really because he's famous and grime fans don't like it when grime artists become popular outside of the council estate they live on.
>>64368237
you've got it all mixed up senpai
americans are into stormzy
>>64368277
>grime fans don't like it when grime artists become popular outside of the council estate they live on.
as it should be
>>64368297
stormzy is alright man he doesnt sell out like skepta
>>64368293
if ur problem with grime is that theyre using someone elses beat or the lyrics aren't smart enough then u literally do not get grime and are probably american
>>64368293
He managed to crossover into America because he became extremely popular in the UK.
You see people on here that say only suburban cheeky nandos uni lads listen to him but the reality is that he has the road on lock too. Just like how hood niggas and fratbros listen to Future. It's the exact same concept but grime fans don't seem to understand that when an artist gets popular they will draw in a mixed demographic of fans.
Niggas on /mu/ really think the real roadmanz listen to fucking The Bug or some shit. No lad, they listen to Stormzy, Skepta, and Section Boyz.
this dude is 22? wtf he looks 35.
>>64368334
>the lyrics aren't smart enough
we both know that that isn't what i said
>>64368365
>real roadmanz listen to Stormzy, Skepta and Section Boyz.
why is he standing in the carpark of the carphone warehouse
track is OK overall, beat is pretty mediocre, his delivery is on point as always but there are only a few quotables here
probably wont be listening to this one much
>>64368201
>>64368207
Novelists single earlier on this year is my favourite grime single so far from this year

/Stormzy, Jme, Skepta the list goes on.../-core
>>64368480
It's true.
>>64368365
>Niggas on /mu/ really think the real roadmanz listen to fucking The Bug or some shit. No lad, they listen to Stormzy, Skepta, and Section Boyz.
I really hope you're joking, you know nothing about grime lmao
>>64368654
If you seriously think that, I have to assume you don't know a single roadman.
>>64368805
A majority of grime is hype from Sub-urban white kids wearing palace skateboarding/Supreme the "real roadmen" listen to whatever relates to them the most
>>64368816
Who do the listen to then senpai.
>>64368877
67 (at least, they used to), 410, Showkey, C Biz, etc. Definitely not Stormzy and Skepta lol
>>64368916
Senpai they all do.
Just like every black man in America listens to Drake.
>>64368993
Kek
Niggas really don't think Stormzy's popular in the ends.
He blew up in the ends which gave him the momentum to blow up everywhere else. This is not a new phenomenon it's how most rappers get famous.

>hashtag murky 2016
Really speaks to the longevity of his music that he needs to have it trend on twitter for his career
>>64369538
People have been saying that about him for like a year and a half now.
>>64368334
Grime fans don't like it when grime artists become famous.
Because Stormzy is famous they are judging him using handicapped criteria.
They don't care that literally every other grime MC aside from like 2 are terrible lyricists with awful lyrics, they will still rag on Stormzy for not being lyrical because he's famous and they have to find every little reason to dislike him.
The reality is that every other grime MC has basic bars. 90% of them rhyme the same one syllable word repeatedly.
>>64367571
Nice, another mediocre trap track with some trumpets so they can call it grime.
Fuck that, this is what grime is about:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BO9Wmv-6fvw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_4JSRDoQUU
>>64369714
This was produced by Sir Spyro you wasteman it's grime to the core.
>>64369727
Like I give a fuck.
Legends do tend to put out some garbage from time to time too
I fucking hate this sound Stormzy is popularizing and I will hate grime if it goes in this direction.
>>64369714
Grime has just come to mean any UK hip hop by this point, I've had people tell me The Streets were their favourite Grime artist.
>>64367571
truuf. fucking wikked bruv.
>>64369836
Yeah nah not really.
Haven't heard anyone call anything released by HighFocus grime.
To be fair Stormzy did have some tracks that I would call true grime, for example Know Me From, but his newer stuff is boring and average af.
>>64368480
bama lookin so fressh
sound a da suh
>grime
>good
I'm curious as to when grime artists will start to experiment and shit. They all try to sound the same now.
Like I guess some of the producers are starting to branch out and experiment like Mumdance and Murlo but for whatever reason those guy don't involve themselves with the actual scene they just kind of do their own thing.
I'd love to hear a different sounding rapper spit over grime beats. Someone who wasn't worried about being different and unique. Like a grime Young Thug, or a Kanye, or even a Kendrick. Something different.
The issue with the genre is that it's too deeply rooted into roadman culture and street cred and whatever. People are afraid to be different because they'll literally get beat for it. If you want to be a grime MC you have to be hard, you have to act hard, you have to dress hard, you have to talk hard, you have to make hard music, you can't make soft music, you have to hang around hard people. It's 99% about image. You can be a terrible rapper and still have a successful career because you're hard. See Nines (I know he's not grime but UK rap does have a similar culture in this way) for example, he's awful but he has a really successful career and gets tons of views because he's a hood nigga.
It's a shame really. The concept is so dope but it's too rooted in this concept of being road that it probably won't get anywhere anytime soon because anyone who tries to push the boundaries will be completely and utterly ignored.
>>64367571
Is it actually good or does he just spit naff bars over a classic grime beat?
>>64372351
It's a new grime beat which I think is pretty cool, produced by Sir Spyro who's definitely a legend in the genre.
All grime bars are naff but there's a few memorable quotables like the shut up bars in this one.
How come "le real grime" fans don't respect Stormzy, yet he gets respect from literally the entire scene plus the likes of Nas?
>>64368201
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYWuhGG6QcQ
>>64369492
BIG MEATY SCABS
>>64372448
because he's hardworking, charismatic and has "made it"
bear in mind that most grime figures are good friends (obviously save for beefing crews) and will generally support each other regardless of personal taste. same goes for nas et al, artists will support artists
Can somebody explain to me what grime is? Like is it just some new british rap thing?
Ghetts released the remix for his new tune and Chip still isn't running out of bars.
I'm gonna get slaughtered for this but he's one of the best out right now it's not even funny. Sure he had a pop career and whatever but he's been consistently sick since his comeback.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTZOpImLBSI&feature=youtu.be
I don't care that Big Narstie made a silly video about him before you link that.
>>64372595
uk garage + dubstep + hip hop = grime
>>64372595
Just listen to Dizzee Rascal's Boy In Da Corner and leave it at that.
It's a really good album and the only good grime album ever made. "Le real grime" fans will tell you that this is because "grime isn't an album genre" and will proceed to link you to old radio sets, which are basically potato quality recordings of angry British black men yelling with absolutely no rhythm or flow over occasionally really cool sounding beats. But most of them are awful because 9/10 times they were literally made on a Playstation 1 or a pirated copy of Mario Paint.
So just listen to Boy In Da Corner.
>>64372595
>new
you can trace grime back to 2001
grime is basically folk music for inner city, working class blacks. evolved out of garage and 2step. it's not "rapping" or "hip-hop" despite what people will tell you, it's roots and influence are totally different. The mcing is akin to reggae and dancehall toasting.
>>64372788
and this, everyone, is how to miss the point entirely and project arbitrary musical standards onto a movement that wants nothing to do with it
/mu/ will never 'get' grime
yet bizarrely these same people will listen to memphis hip-hop and love it for exactly the same reasons that grime resonates with people. go figure.
>>64372892
Yeah man sorry for not seeing the art in angry black men shouting with absolutely no rhythm or flow over instrumentals produced using the Animal Crossing town tunes thing.
>>64373018
it's merit is in it's crudeness. people were saying the same thing you were when punk first came around. boo-hoo they have no technical proficiency
if you're listening to music - or indeed admiring any art for pure technicality - then you need to question what you're actually getting out of it, any whether you're into it either A.) for the skill, or B.) what they have to say and how they're saying it.
and yes, to reiterate, grime by and large isn't a recordings genre, and has no place in traditional, formal music distribution or dissemination. hence if you're listening to it queued up with your fucking animal collective albums on last.fm then no wonder you're not getting anything out of it.
>>64373018
don't chat shit about animal crossing you turbofag
>>64373180

>>64367571
fucking pathetic, is this music in bongland?
>>64367571
goes hard as hell, reminds me of Luigi's mansion
Know Me From was the best song of last year by the way
>>64367762
You need to learn english or the way music is structured that's barely evena coherent entence and there's no message behind it, music industry is fucked if this is what counts these days
>>64373376
Yeah but it makes you go mental in the fucking rave bruv this bar will get 10000 wheelups.
>>64373376
>that's barely evena coherent entence
>>64373376
fucking hell seeing you guys trying and discuss grime is both hilarious and horribly depressing
that said the bars clearly make sense and i don't even like stormzy
>>64368865
mans from croydon senpai i know about road mans from heaf to norbs to brix get me senpai i know bout grime all you mans in this thread are moist, dont even know about cadet, try talk like a roadman
>>64373179
Yeah but I can listen to BiDC and get something out of it. But no one's tried since.
Hip-hop started as a bunch of people in bright red Adidas tracksuits (kek it's all come full circle) a big chains spraypainting walls, breakdancing, b-boying, and yelling "A HIP! A HOP! A HIPPY HIPPY HOP! A HIPPY HIPPY HIPPITY HOPPITY HIPPY HOP!" Then people actually took the concept and started making proper music out of it. It's still kept some of it's "classic" elements: you still see niggas doing freestyles on the radio (Five Fingers of Death, etc), but it's also progressed. You can make hip-hop however you want. But if you make grime you've got to sound a certain way or you'll be ostracised. Shit, you've got to BE a certain way or you'll be ostracised. And that's why it's not progressing. Because everyone's too afraid or just too stupid to be different, and they spend too much time clinging onto the past.

This is pretty decent so far.
Why aren't more grime niggas doing mixtapes?
Most of these rappers are ignorant rappers, they should be able to consistently push out projects like trap rappers do. Instead they release like 1 shitty repetitive song a year, and if you're lucky they might release a shitty 3 track EP with 3 shitty repetitive tracks on it that you have to actually spend money on.
Why are they so far behind in terms of releasing music?

I love Rocks, but I hope he stops producing as many of his tracks, or at least switches up his production style.
He's definitely grime but his instrumentals are way too trappy for my liking. If he worked with some proper grime producers he could change the game.
Such an impressive lyricist too, he could put together a really good project.
Have you seen the set with him and Trim and a few other guys where he randomly starts spitting in some African language halfway through? Might be one of my favourite wheelups in recent history.

Please remain as far away from grime as you already are.
As a white boy just starting university should i listen to all of these to get in there with the social crowd at uni, im fucking scared as shit im starting in september and ive heard stories how i will get killed or stabbed going to uni in london. What do?
Plus not many negro people around my area here in yorkshire.
>>64373979
that was clearly a joke you autistic spaz
>>64373675
grime does not mean uk hip hop
this is not grime you total pleb
This whole thread is fucking degenerate.
Literally not music.
No instruments.
No wordplay above semantic levels of thought.
No feeling or message to get across.
No subliminals.
Nothing for future generations except rage inducing music.
It's fucking pathetic.
>>64374025
If you're going to uni in London you won't get stabbed unless you're hanging around a really rough area really late at night and you're really really unlucky.
The majority of your classmates will most likely be posh boys who can afford to go uni in London, especially if you're going to like UCL or Kings or something.
That being said, just get to know Stormzy and Skepta and Jme and Section Boyz and shit because you'll probably hear that a lot.

obviously not.. once you get called out it will be infinitely more embarrassing than if you never bothered and just did your own thing.
>im fucking scared as shit
don't be, london is harmless. you're not going to uni in the fucking ends lmao
>ive heard stories how i will get killed or stabbed going to uni in london
these people are screwing with you, don't be such an idiot. the fact you can afford to go to uni - yet alone in london, AND be able to afford to live in london - means that everyone else there and in your immediate vicinity is also from a background where they are blessed enough to be able to do so. i highly doubt you'll be hanging around the more questionable areas of peckham or brixton
that said, even if you are hanging around late at night in these areas (you shouldn't be), the worst that will happen is that you'll have your wallet and phone taken or be knocked around a bit. nobody is going to deliberately try and take your life.
>>64374066
What should i do though if i see some afro-negros? or colored people? i was told not to look them in the eye, or they'll ask me who im lookng at, and thats how the stabbings start. im actually bricking it now.
You Americans need to get educated before you start spouting shit about genres and scenes you know nothing about. I was fucking there at Sidewinder and Eskimo Dance nights. I was always tuned into the pirates. I was fucking there.
