It is merely a song to which they can relate to. 140Interviews Dunman talks Cajun wraps, Flamin Hot Cheetos & Music. Such lyrical content does glamorise their reality, but fails to be the component responsible for their reality. Negative Grime lyrics, for the audience that it attracts will indeed justify their perception and value of life. If there were a genre that spoke on consuming large amounts of food, would it too be blamed for obesity in society? No doubt the lyrics are negative in meaning, and maybe a factor contributing to the knife crime statistic, but we must realise that it is not the cause. 2014 and has also started to host a monthly live rap night at Sunderlands Independent music-venue. Music is a representation of reality, it cannot create reality. INTERVIEW: TM talks Chipmunk, Makina and NE Grime. How can we speak of anything other than what we know? I will add my producer tag to the beat but i will send you an AVF, MP3 and the Logic project file in which you can choose to remove the tag. We are all products of our environment, what we see will certainly influence what we say. Many have argued as to whether lyrical content of music genres such as Hip-Hop, Grime and Rap, should be labelled responsible for the violent behaviour in the community.Īrtists who ‘spit’ violent lyrics are merely mediating to us their immediate surroundings. Funky House is the next urban movement… and it will be a success! Like Grime was evolved from UK Garage, Funky House has too has become its alternative (if not replacement) genre and has incidently gain commercial success. Defamed by government officials, rejected by mainsteam music and having lost it’s very own founders to other genres, I do not think that it is too farfetched to say that is a failure… But it is not dead! However it’s artists are collaborating with atrists from other mainstream genres and making a name for themselves while doing so. Lady Sovereign does not even considerherself as a Grime artist “ I kind of got labeled as a grime artist, but I’m not a grime artist.” – taken from her interview with DJ Slomowicz.Īs mentioned in my previous post Grime: Still Underground, Grime fails to be accecpted into mainstream music as a commercial genre. Although he vows never to adapt his music style to become commercial, his greatest hit to date is ‘Rolex’ which is a Funky House tune (video bottom of post). All of them are experiencing defamation of being called ‘sellouts’ by Grime fans, especially Grime’s founder/godfather Wiley. To make matters worse he tries to divert our attention to his Rolex, really I mean is that really a Rolex? Oh and Wiley I do blame you for this very big mistake! A classic example of what happens when you spend a load of cash on clothes and music artists are regular offenders – it doesn’t mean you look GOOD! No, Little Dee just NO!!! next time you need to invest not in a watch, nor a pair of LPs, but instead someone like me.Other notable Grime artists like Wiley, Kano, Dizzy Rascal, and Lady Sovereign have also left the scene to continue their careers in other genres. So in order to avoid embarrassment what does he do, he blames Lewisham! And here’s me thinking that mc’s were supposed to think on their feet – excuse the pun. Grime is a genre of urban music that first emerged in Bow, East London, England in the early 2000s, primarily a development of UK garage, and dancehall. Nightrealm is a tour de force for the prodigious electronic music producer, whose long-awaited debut was snapped up by RL Grimes Sable Valley imprint. Grime draws on a cultural, political and economic history of having parents and grandparents from the Black diaspora. For Black youth, from the early years of the 21st century, the grime music scene has been a key feature of London life. He chose to wear his shittest pair of trainers for an interview that involved mc’s with the best looking trainers. Prior to acquiring the grime tag, the new sound was also known as 8-bar, sublow or eskibeat. Is it just me or is there something wrong with this video. On doing so I came across this interview with Little Dee: Well I would place myself slap bang in the middle, helped along of course by my boyfriend (I like to be able to contribute to a grime conversation), so I try to keep up-to-date with things and so sometimes youtube a few artists videos. If like me you have grown up in London then you will inevitably be in some shape or form a fan of Grime, whether you once purchased a Dizzee Rascal album because you liked the song ‘Jezebel’ – and you know you did – or are regular viewers of Grime Daily or SB.TV.
