Has Skepta just released the cringiest, edgiest rap video of all time?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOhxPhqzMwg
>friendly reminder that Skepta is a 33 year old man
No, white people like him.
Not even cringy really maybe a little edgy
File this under viral marketing
Sorry guys grime sucks and will never be appealing to most americans unless they change it up
>>64499460
And jayz and all the "legends" are in 5their 40s and 50s.
>>64499460
>try not to get killed by the police
He's fucking British.
>>64499628
Yeah but they're like completely different people to what they were back in the day and they're not making videos like this.
>>64499550
Idk the part with the police car and the part where they're smashing up the car and spraypainting "FUCK YOU" on it and the part where they spraypainted "CUNT" on things and the random Russian subtitles all came off as very cringey.
Especially considering this is a grown man.
>>64499550
I think the concept of the genre is cool and the instrumentals are good but the flows are all the same and the lyrics are all the same and the fans are really pretentious which just makes it a lot worse than it should be.
>>64499961
This. As an American UK police officers are like the least intimidating thing on earth. I feel like he's just trying to cash in on the anti-police attitude/BLM stuff going on over here.
what the hell is cringey or edgy about this?
>>64500120
>stupid russian subtitles
>filmed in some abandoned dirty building
>bunch of grown men literally surrounding a police car while it's driving and kicking at it/pulling on the doors
>bunch of grown men literally jumping on a car and kicking it and smashing the windows and spraypainting all over it
It literally looks like something out of a teenage edgelord's Tumblr page.
>came a long way since when whites never used to mix with blacks
You weren't alive back then Skeppy. What on Earth are you talking about.
>>64500461
I honestly feel like I'm not British enough to understand where you're coming from "m8". Or maybe 33 isn't that old...
>>64500517
>What on Earth are you talking about
Early days of the grime scene.
Grime is white at the roots now.
All the big DJs and producers are white.
>>64500077
Police in england are so nice, they just hate niggers that act up like in the vid. Theyre trying to find injustice because thats whats cool is hamburgurland
skepta is a wastemen fake roadmen grew up posh
blud never been to the roads fucking jme has a video game lets play channel
>>64500563
At the very least JME never claimed to be road.
Hell, his most famous tune is about how being road is stupid.
>>64499905
Skepta is very different too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCWCEPPbZXA
>>64500563
>>64500602
Skeppy was road. Meridian Walk Estate is literally notorious for being rough.
Jme just stayed away from the road shit Skepta didn't.
Skepta has become westernized
>>64500726
Skepta never was all too exciting, even back in the day he was a better producer than MC, like most of the grime guys.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkx5WDA9Org
>>64500726
Speaking of which, Chris Brown just released a new track with Section Boyz and he literally raps with a London accent at the end.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5xFhfleEvs
Go 5:30 for the greatest bars since Crazy T got locked up.
>>64499460
like he gives a fuck about the video i mean he knows that he locked the scene again so he can do whatever the fuck he does
>>64500563
>>64500602
WTF is road
>>64500828
England equivalent of hood.
>>64499460
All rap is cringey and edgy. There's no difference between this video and those of NWA or Public Enemy; it's the same ideological content expressed in an identical manner.
Rappers are not smart. It's weird how many people don't get this because it's completely obvious to any successful college graduate that Kendrick could never pass calculus and Kanye could never read a book that goes more than five pages without pictures.
Most of these "musicians" blatantly plagiarize the melodies of already famous and successful songs, probably because they sincerely don't know how to play instruments.
If their political views seem childish and prone toward blaming invisible authority figures for all their personal problems, it's because rappers themselves are immature, intellectually, artistically, and emotionally. They make the most repetitive and simple music on the planet for a reason.
>>64500845
Wait, what's yard then?
>>64500526
Would this not be considered cringeworthy in America?
>>64500828
roadman
>>64500563
Bruh how the fuck is Skepta not road.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY1cwW0pdg0
>>64500883
House.
Like "come to my yard"
>>64500878
Just give me one thing that sounds like Eskimo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkdEOY0bf4U
>>64500919
not like that.
Like those guys calling themselves yardmen or something?
>>64500998
It's roadmen.
what with brits saying boy, man, mans, etc. it sounds retarded.
Do they intentionally leave the s on "mans" to make it sound grammatically fucked up? I dont really get it
>>64500461
How old are you and why are you so uptight?
>>64501085
It's nothing compared to ebonics
"is you down?"
>>64501041
No, that's not what I'm talking about.
>>64501085
It's patois slang from Jamaica.
It's the equivalent of American ebonics.
im a topshop man
im dan
aka the boss man
What's up with all the cyrillic writings?
>>64501103
It's just a cringey concept for a grown man.
Like he's 33 years old, not 17.
He's grown up now. You don't see Jay Z doing this shit anymore.
>>64500878
I think you need to get laid
>>64499672
They have the same victim complex over here as they do in the States.
>ay yo jamal was just wavin a knife around and the police capped him
>he was a good boy he dindu nuffin
>police raycist
Plus he's trying to appeal to white liberal listeners across the pond.
I'm chuckin mcs like blanka
I got money in the bank
I'm a banka
you aint got my name in the bank
you're a wanka
>>64499460
It's not even the edgiest or cringest song that HE has released. You've probably not even heard of All Over The House.
>judging an artist by their music videos
You are not mandem, you are not gang
>>64501184
Jay Z is like 48
>>64501315
Of course I've heard of that.
That was just a porn it was weird and stupid but it wasn't "I'm a 30 year old man now watch me irritate this police officer with my friends lol!"
>>64499460
>tfw no trashy used up britslut gf
>>64500077
>I feel like he's just trying to cash in on the anti-police attitude/BLM stuff going on over here.
In fairness the whole "fuck the police" thing has been big in Jamaican culture since forever.
>>64501252
>>64501103
>just be stupid like me, bro
>relaaaax, don't think about art or what you're doing
>take some drugs, be a fucking moron, and listen to shitty music
>it's "fun"
I genuinely would rather be a eunuch
>>64500878
I actually agree. It's funny seeing people unironically take these songs/artists seriously, instead of just as the meme jamz they are.
>>64501285
>tfw you will never play street fighter with d double
>>64501329
>mandem
there it is again, another spinoff from the word man. These dudes need to expand their vocabulary. Its in every song too
>>64501284
I just don't understand how they got away with acting like that. They were literally antagonizing the police for no reason. And the police just ignored them and drove away. Doesn't that sort of invalidate whatever "fuck the police" mentality they're going on about?
>>64501420
Do you really not take Aesop Rock, De La Soul and Main Source seriously? They don't sound like meme jamz to me.
bad man skepta abt to drop aoty
this it lads
>>64501446
It's revenge, it's supposed to make the viewer feel good because the good guys won and the bad guys retreated.
>>64500878
except NWA was a direct response to actual police aggression. British police aren't comparable to American police in any way shape or form.
>>64501418
Why is some faggot who's not OP replying to me right now? Disembowel yourself you fucking hamster
>>64501446
Black people sincerely enjoy thinking of themselves as being oppressed; every morning they wake up and look forward to blaming somebody else for their own failures. It's like a government-sponsored pass to deny any sense of personal responsibility and freely engage in narcissism and self-pity.
>>64501593
>Why is some faggot who's not OP replying to me right now?
Because you're an idiot, and somebody needed to force you to recognize your mental incompetence. It's sort of a social duty.
>>64501635
Once again, kill yourself
>>64501597
Im black and I dont think that at all
Im not an american though so its probably that
>>64501484
not anon but
Aesop Rock wrote a song about Donuts and Cat Mummies on the same album. I'd rather listen to a guy rap about coming up from nothing than that.
Aesop is a meme.
>>64501672
Dude stop falling for the bait. There's no reason anyone who isn't neet or bait would talk like >>64501635
>>64501687
this
>>64501724
Maybe he just got bored of writing serious songs. Nothing wrong with a song that tells you how to mummify your cat.
You shouldn't discard a whole artist as a meme just because he made a couple of goofy songs.
>>64501838
Yeah but that's not what I want to listen to. I don't like goofy music. One of the things that I like about hip hop/rap that you don't get in other genre's is it's self positivity all these artists have a high sense of self worth as opposed to other genres and as someone who grew up listening to Death Cab and other various whiney music. It's nice and refreshing, it makes me what to chase my goals and it's all around just better to listen to in company than a other stuff.
>>64501553
>why is the police trying to jail us when we are doing illegal activities and acting like monkey
>>64501941
Well then Aesop is simply not for you, but that doesn't mean he's a meme.
And the vast majority of his music is very serious, no need to cherrypick.
>>64501484
Rap sounds nice for partying and working out or something. It only can elicit a few moods. It's just soo limited in what it can do as art. You can change the samples, the structure, lyrics, whatever. It still is stale.
>Muh opression
>Boast track
>hedonism
>epix diss
>my girl/senpai/crew
>politics
>some story
the problem is not only these rough lyrical limitations (obvs there are exceptions but lezbereal), but also the delivery only varies in how clever the wordplay is or rhythm. I know there may be some gem deviations, but the the LARGE majority is one dimensional, barely creative, not clever, has nothing meaningful to say that hasn't been said 1milly times, and captures the artists emotional state with the depth of a kiddie pool.
>>64502039
>but the the LARGE majority is one dimensional, barely creative, not clever, has nothing meaningful to say that hasn't been said 1milly times, and captures the artists emotional state with the depth of a kiddie pool.
Doesn't that apply to every genre?
>Muh opression
>Boast track
>hedonism
>epix diss
>my girl/senpai/crew
>politics
>some story
Doesn't that apply to like every genre too?
The majority music of any genre is garbage, you just need to find those gems and listen to them.
>>64502152
>Doesn't that apply to like every genre too?
No, it applies specifically to hip hop, a genre which focuses more on lyrics and public image rather musical skill (because most of the major figures within the genre have none).
>>64499460
>britbong police
lmao
>>64502242
So you're saying that it's lyrically shallow. Ok, sure.
Maybe that's why you should try listening to the artists that I mentioned in one of my previous posts.
>>64502039
You're a fucking moron
>some little cracker wigger on 4chan saying that a real ass rapper is "cringe"
I wish you peckerwood faggots would come to the hood. Little bitch ass wiggas always look down at the floor or at your phone when you walk past a black person.
>>64499460
>rap video
grime is not rap, though
>>64502503
He's rapping though isn't he you teapot.
>>64502560
he isn't though
>>64502152
Yeah but the limited moods it can capture are elementary and it will never be able to reach an artistic level on par with others, thus shouldn't be taken as seriously. It's like claiming that cheetos should be allowed in a gourmet food competition. No amount of flavor variations will ever make cheetos on the same level.
>>64502486
33 year old men kicking policecars really isn't impressive or hard it's just immature.
He's doing shit a 17 year old should be doing.
>>64502580
What's he doing then lad.
>>64502587
Give me a mood that hip-hop can't portray and give me an example of that mood being captured in a song of another genre because I honestly can't think of such a mood.

I DUNNO WHY MAN'S CALLING ME FAMILY ALL OF A SUDDEN

To be fair they are kicking it and pulling on the doors and shit.
The difference is NWA wanted to make a political statement.
Skepta just wanted to be an edgy prick.
>>64507015
it's cringey and literally not helping the situation
>>64507148
There is no situation to "help" Skepta just wanted to make an edgelord video and fuck around with the police.
If he was 17-18 it wouldn't even matter that much but the guy's 33 years old it's embarrassing.
video fits with danny brown's 30

Awful use of a QOTSA sample desu
Grime is music with absolutely no lyrical or emotional substance, but sometimes it's great.
This is not one of those times
>>64501417
And the London riots weren't that long ago
Fuck he's got a great voice for it but his flows are so basic..
As for the film clip, he won a MOBO off the back of the filmclip for
that's not me' (best song imo) which was basically just him rapping in front of a DJ with dodgy green screen effects so this just seems like a continuation.

>2 Chainz graduated Harvard with a 4.0 gpa
>This is a rumor, and one that I'm pretty sure is false.
>A few months ago when the 2 Chainz hype machine was building up steam, there were a series of Tweets circulating around Twitter claiming that 2 Chainz was a basketball star at Alabama State University and graduated with a 4.0. Later messages also claimed that he graduated from college in three years, although this isn't consistent because I've seen other messages saying he graduated in four years. These messages have been picked up by a variety of blogs and websites, none of which bothered to research the veracity of the Tweets.
>It is true that 2 Chainz played basketball in college. In his freshman year at Alabama State (1996-1997), he appeared in 24 of their 29 games and averaged 3.0 points per game (http://bamastatebeat.com/roster_player/tauheed-epps). But he doesn't appear on their roster after 1997, so it's safe to say that while he played college hoops, he only played one year.
>He had an interview with Vibe Magazine last year where he said that he transferred to Virginia State after his freshman year, but he flunked out. Unfortunately, the online version of the interview has since been erased. (http://www.vibe.com/article/2-chainz-opens-about-why-he-was-named-tity-boi-tru-realigon-mixtape-and-his-use-codeine). Regardless, it's hard to flunk out of college if you're a 4.0 student.
>There is only one thing I can tell you for sure. If you look at Alabama State University's Wikipedia page, 2 Chainz, born Tauheed Epps, is on their notable alumni list, but he doesn't have a graduation year listed. That usually means the person attended the university but never graduated.

It's getting more popular but it will probably never be a major genre in its own right like in the UK. The accents are too goofy and the celebrity personas aren't aggressive and obnoxious enough.

There's nothing cool about what skeptas doing, it's fucking cringeworthy pandering to his western fans.
He knew good and well that when he walked up to the cop car they wouldn't do shit, if he tried that in the US he'd get lit the fuck up immediately
>>64512684

What genuinely makes that better than Stormzy's?
>People in this thread asking why Skepta dislikes the police, and claiming he has no reason to be scared/angry about them.

I suppose its a reference to when white parents would not let their children mix with black children.
Now white families are more progressive and want their kids to be around blacks.

enlgish police are not nice. They are all power hungry fucks with a receding hairline who are trying to compensate.
But they are harmless.
Jme fucking with the police is way better and more justified than this edgy shit.

Yeah they won't do shit, if you're black you'll get randomly routinely pulled over more often but other than that they won't do anything bad.

Listen to Functions on its own.
It's an incredibly stripped-down instrumental with barely any progression.
Titch' shouting is just that, progression and emotion.
All the best tunes featuring MCs use the MC's voice as tool to do just the.
Listen to Top Cat's version of Spend the Night, the voice is what draws you into the tunes, the voice is why you're gonna be dancing.
Sure, Shut Up has a fun meme bar, but Stormzy doesn't add anything to the tune. He's just sorta there.
A good MC carries the tune with his voice and not the other way around.
How long will it take for a cool unique experimental grime artist to come out?
You guys have like a year left before you become irrelevant again.
Where's the guy that's gonna take you to the next level and bring out a classic?

Memedance, whatever is on Keysound and Crazylegs.
Hell, even the godfather of grime made experimental grime tunes back in 2003 when grime was just starting out.
>>64524847
Yeah but none of the rappers are rapping over them and people care about the rappers right now, that's where the buzz is.
And when they do, the producers tend to completely simplify their instrumentals, and the rappers just chat the same old bullshit about beating people up.
>>64524872
>rappers
>>64501439
but that's not where it originates
it originates from mandeminium, meaning gang of less than reputable characters, we don't half arse our slang rand here senpai
>>64499550
Grime as a genre isn't trying to appeal to Americans who won't understand it save for a few artists
>>64524872
desu who cares
You don't even seem to know about Eski, even.

>>64524976
Eski is like the origin of the fucking genre of course I know about it.
>>64525018
Yeah, but how come you don't about the sound, then?
Why would you be complaining about the way grime sounds, when you know the eskimo sound?

you're tryoing to pull some criminal shit senpai
>>64525140

loool
you're not fooling anyone except maybe s/t
>>64499460
Skepta is the most boring grime artist right now. I want my Roachee and D Double E
>>64525056
I like the way it sounds I just don't like how its hardly evolved as a genre.
Yeah, some of the producers have gotten better and have started experimenting, but the MCs are still exactly the same. They still rap over the same beats, they still repeat the same lyrics about the same things, they still use the same flows. They're all still painfully average.
Grime really should've evolved to the point where someone could put out a decent tape or album by this point, but there's still only one good grime project in existence.
I mean, Kano's most recent album shows this off perfectly. Listen to it. 99% of the tracks are relatively boring hip-hop instrumentals, but Kano's lyricism, flows, etc are fucking incredible here. It's lyrically fantastic. Then a grime instrumental comes on and its the same old boring ignorant lyrics with the same old flow and its just shit.
>>64525152
eski beats is its own ting senpai
similar but not the same
>>64525347
No it's grime.
>>64525411
it's absolutely not
The new "darker' aesthetic of grime is probably my favourite right now. Best grime tracks of 2016 imo are

Wish they would improve lyrically. That Eklipse guy in particular has some really lyrically impressive tracks on his SoundCloud but they're all over hip-hop beats. When a grime instrumental comes on he just goes all stereotypical boring and ignorant. Don't know why.
>>64525433
Do you know why grime is called grime?
Do you really think that eski doesn't fit the name in the slightest?
