I think Grime could blow up once they get good beats

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

Breakbeats were used in the 1920s by jazz and swing bands. A popular breakbeat song of the 1920s was the "Charleston".

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, hip hop turntablists, such as DJ Kool Herc, began using several funk breaks in a row, using irregular drum patterns from songs such as James Brown's "Funky Drummer" and The Winstons' "Amen Brother", to form the rhythmic base for hip hop songs. DJ Kool Herc's breakbeat style involved playing the same record on two turntables and playing the break repeatedly, alternating between the two records. This style was copied and improved upon by early hip hop DJs Afrika Bambaataa and Grand Wizard Theodore.[1][dubious – discuss] This style was extremely popular in clubs and dancehalls because the extended breakbeat provided breakers with more opportunities to showcase their skills.


did y'all's lil subgenres even EXIST at this time? No the fukk they didn't. Look at my other posts. I'm the only nikka in here that actually likes grime from America. What y'all won't do is be facetious as a guest in our MUSICAL culture. Y'all are guests JUST LIKE CACs...don't get it confused. Y'all take lil bits and pieces of what we do, put your accents on it, and then the vast masses of cacs in your home countries take it over immediately.

Everybody just calm down, Grime needs to blow up in the UK first before we start talking about other places.

 

[Cynic]

Breh this ain't the first time American taste makers have taken interest in Grime or Urban Music from England. So please don't make these people out to be special, cause these same creative types were saying the same thing so-called conditioned fans are saying. It's just the new fad for them to hop on.

I heard Boy In Da Corner in 03-04.... people knew who Dizzee was in NY


Let's not act like Craig David didn't blow up in the 00s

UK might have the most interesting unexplored soundscape

These n!ggas used to sound like this








RNB




Blackbrit excellence ?





Cac rappers




Corny dances






Hood anthems




Collabos



Trap

Im honestly surprised grime is even blowing up like this lol. There was a 3-5 year time period where Black London basically abandoned that genre because it was seen as corny and childish but the rest of the UK stuck with it.

Modern Grime got some buzz after they hopped on the Trap sound and we all know the Trap sound is everywhere.

Trap is similar to grime in many ways.

Skepta just addressed this perception of Grime beats sounding unpolished/unfinished on Apple Beasts 1 now funnily enough, good interview.

Interesting thread. It shows you really have to be from the UK to understand Grime

Here's some instrumentals you guys might like

 

[Redwing80]

And what's funny is that Cory Gunz makes songs that would pass as Grime if he was from the UK. And he's from New York

 

[Therht]

Funny thread

this odot guys funny

The misunderstanding is a lot, but to be expected, cos even us UK cats find it hard explaining what makes it ours

Guess you just had to be there

 

[vaudevillevillain]

one of the best things about grime are the beats. u don't have to listen either cuz.

 

[thatrapsfan]

Not its not, this has been going on since the 80's, with English and Jamaican music.

Outside off the hipster circles and few urban media personalities. The music ain't out here. And it won't have much off an impact.


I've seen this shiit from Soul 2 Soul, Acid Jazz era, Jungle, UK Garage, etc. It might develop a small niche following. But that's as far as it will get.

Havent heard that name in a while. Post is 100 percent accurate, but some folks music references begin and end with Drake
