No, grime isn't the real ghetto techno. Techno comes from a real ghetto city named Detroit. An 86% black city filled with nikkas they don't manufacture in london...

It's very sad because hiphop and cacs handing them money and dreams have ended their creativity. They havent made anything new since. Juke looked like it could grow but it failed and went right to Europe where folks have a more open mind. Black americans used to be the pioneers of music, not so much anymore. Rock, House, Techno, Pop, Blues, Jazz and then as soon as Hiphop was formed what has been new since the 80s which was 30 years ago? They used to have a new genre every decade. Now I look to other predominately large black countries for sound like Balie Funk, kwaito-house, township tech. South Africa oddly enough is creating some fresh sounds every couple of years, and new genres.

It's not a coincidence a good amount of American taste makers and creatives fukk with grime heavy right now while the conditioned average american listener is talking about "the accents " or "the beat"

Who is rapping with English accents???? No one in America will take a breh seriously sounding like Mary Poppins on a beat.

Grime artists already shutting down shows in the US. Unfortunately not everybody is as closed minded as you breh breh

We might not be top selling artists but UK artists definitely getting the respect from the right people and becoming more increasingly able to eat in the states

Grime pre-dates Dubstep. Dubstep is an off-shoot of grime in many ways.

This modern grime with the trap influence beats have a better chance of blowing than the original grime. The original grime sounded like random video game noises

But it was the golden age

not really

both are an offshoot of UK Garage

both Grime & Dubstep acknowledged each other, Dubstep more so, but they two different genres which (at the time) drew very different demographics. Grime was street music. Dubstep was for 'intelligent' () dance music fans

saying that though, it was the Dubstep demographic who welcomed Grime with open arms second time round (when Grime started to gain momentum again around 2011 through the instrumental movement)

also, just to clarify - Grime hasn't technically 'blown' in the UK, but that cos its black music essentially, and black music doesn't get a look in here. in terms of it blowing on an underground level, that shyt has happened over and over again whether it was Jungle, UK Garage (in it's many evolving forms), Grime, Dubstep, UK Funky, Road Rap, Instrumental Grime etc etc

to address the OP - Grime is not simply UK rappers rapping, it's its own fukkin thing with its own set of rules. the beats are what makes it what it is

Section Boys, 67 and them are not Grime, although quite obviously influenced

Nobody wants to hear Prince Henry talking about street shyt
