[Mochachino]

Suppose it depends on what music you listen to, but still!

That's not true at all.

you can't 'sell out' at all on a pirate radio station, tinie tempah used to be a quality lyricist way before he even made it to pirate radio, he realised money wasnt there and moved away from it to write cheese - now look at him

as for skream. midnight request line / 0800dub got him known within the dubstep world, back then at the FWD event, you'd barely get 20 people in a room listening to it. He met annie mac at the end club for a FWD event and told her he'd remixed a la roux track, a week later, she played it and he blew up. having Benga release night not too long before helped them too rise as the 'pioneers' of the scene.

Mary Anne Hobss when she was on Radio1 done more for making dubstep well known than rinse ever has. And it was actually John Peel who first played a dubstep track on legal radio.

Rinse has done a lot for urban music within london, and now beyond, but realistically it hasn't made anyone big, it's only made them well known within their own small scene.

I like that music!
Devon just doesn't seem to think people that live here do so I don't get all these cool radio stations, not even Kiss FM...

No wonder you like it :homme:

Tonto has vag?

Sorry I'm not going to make you believe I am a lesbian and pull you along.
Nor make you think that Tonto has a "vag" it is a willy.

didnt mean skream got brought through on rinse btw, 'thanks to skream' i meant for katy b btw.

Last paragraph you wrote is what I meant for Tiny Tempah, not that rinse fm actually got him like in the charts etc. I agree waht you say about his sell out shit now.

Still got a cassette of him freestyling down the phone on freeze fm, used to love the atmosphere back then. It just isnt the same anymore, when these people used to be on the same level as us. Its wierd if we went back then listened to these people and know how they were going to be in 10 years!

[Dolly]

Oh no fair :(

I'll just send pictures instead ;)

[Moke]

I'll just send pictures instead ;)

You've said it now..... HAS to be done.

Sig'd for proof.

I'm glad the grime scene died. But i also hate what it's become.

It just promotes crap / twats / violence.

Most post-garage (and actual garage) is pure bollocks thinking about it lol. only good producers to have sprung up in recent times from the post garage era are people like Marco del Horno, Joy orbison, Jamie XX, Burial, Boddika, Om unit, Kromestar, pistons beneath.

The grime scene is just trying to do what hiphop did in the 90's or detroit techno did before that.

All opinion of course, but grime in it self was a complete paradox and ended it self because the big names in the scene were too busy contradicting themselves to see beyond the ghetto they all live in - hence, they hated dizzee rascal.

[Dolly]

I like the old R'N'B and Hip-Hop.
So much better than all this mainstream music that sounds the same.

[Hatcha]

Couldn't have put it better myself, well done sir :hug:

I still remain adament that alongside dnb, 80s/90s electro, house and trance old hip hop is the best genre out there just for shere versatility.

De-la soul
GZA
Masta Ace
J-dilla
Wu tang
Obie
ODB
biggie
Dead prez
Salt n peppa
Jazzy Jeff
Zion I

all great artists to spring from the US throughout the past few decades

I definatly hate what its become. VERY few artists that are actually any good anymore. Its mostly just divs that think they know grime and all chavs tbh.

Old Skool G is good though what you onabout :p

Its seeing more artists turning mainstream, their ecuse is they want to show theyre versatile and able to take on different styles, but then they end up just sticking with them. Look at how ghetts is now compared to years ago, I actually though he was going to be one of the more popular artists that wasnt going to go mainstream, but hes straying away from grime now.

I only really listen to OGz now and some of that stuff is so cheesy I refuse to have it on loud and only on earphones :p

The thing is, Grime was cool when those lot were 16 years old, and it was cool to be from the ghetto.

now, they need to grow up and realise theres only one way to make money.

Nothing wrong with selling out, anyone would sell some dignity within a minority to have a better life and be loved amongst the masses.

I like some garage, but let's not beat around the bush, it was never well produced and only became cool after the scene died.

Yeye, all true. Its different for a listener though. Think we've had this convo about 10 times over 3 years lol

Ive always liked garage though, I rememeber watching top of the pops and sweet like chocolate coming on haha think I was about 8 or 9 then, I can still rmember that day like it was yesterday.... :homme:

[Ashleyp]

Couldn't have put it better myself, well done sir :hug:

Thanks. I'm glad someone agree's :D

Ironically, tracks like "Sweet like chocolate" were actually hated within garage. that pretty much defined the beginning of grime when artists such as youngsta began searching for that darker sound. Soon after a few jungle MC's began moving over to something more MC orientated, and it kind of worked out as the gangsta rap scene which had been growing for a decade in the US now had a british basis for 'rappers' to make their own stamp on a london sound (most US artists didnt use too much LFO's / 8bar basslines / anything other than an 808 really)

When you step outside the scene to take a look on the broader prospective you soon realise that the majority of artists are a joke living within their own paradox "i'm too cool to go mainstream, yet i'll write lyrics about how i'm going to go big"

[Mochachino]

Ironically, tracks like "Sweet like chocolate" were actually hated within garage. the same way tinie tempah is disliked by the grime scene. ;) thats pretty much the start of how grime was formed.

I was 8 years old alright!

[Ashleyp]

I was 8 years old alright!

From my knowledge, it was released in 1999.

Youre the same age as me

meaning you would have been 10 / 11 actually :P

Regardless, i did enjoy the track a lot at my school disco's. ;) and i'd still enjoy it now if i heard it get played out somewhere! I think my mate who DJ'd at out works summer BBQ even played it, alongside castles in the sky and 21 seconds - 3 different genres, and yet 3 great tracks :D

9 years old then, was 9 in april 1999 ;)

haha I actually heard castles in the sky on the radio at work yesterday I was like wtf!

Also remember getting So solid crew - 21 seconds and making my mum n dad play it in the car over n over on the way home after buying it :oops:

EDIT: thought I was younger than 11 when 21 seconds was released...ok thats embarressing now.

[Ashleyp]

Aye, everyone still remembers all the lyrics to 21 seconds.

best album from that era, and was way ahead of it's time was Execute by oxide and neutrino. They were writing music for genre's before they even existed.

Another point is that in a way 'future garage' exists. Kokeshi and Autonomic to name two labels making the equivilant crap to what was brought about by garage (before the pure garage mixes existed)

[sebring]

pressure fm...raaa!

[Tringaling]

Rinse FM was decent back in the day and was the only thing i would listen to in London.

Haven't had a listen for a while
