Genre has so much potential desu, just wish someone would make a new top grime album.
I get that it's not an "album genre" but it's been done before and BIDC is a fucking classic and Wiley's first 2 albums are pretty damn good.
There are some good new more experimental producers about too, just need a good MC to spit some good shit and put some decent songs together rather than just spitting bars on a beat.
It's like our sound, UK hip-hop is shit, it's our thing. Might as well make it better.
Gavin Jones
Agreed. Promising shit been coming out on Keysound past few years
Easton Lewis
What happened to chiller, slower, more feelsy grime like the Wifey riddim and Together and shit?
Swear it's all just bangers now. Boring.
Juan Evans
Who are some good Keysound artists to check out?
Or just grime in general. Trying to get more into instrumental grime.
Isaac Martin
Wen, Logos, and Etch are good starts
Gavin Russell
>rather than just spitting bars on a beat.
That's what grime is, fuck off. If you want anything to come back it has to be pirate radio and DvD's otherwise it's gone, it's a scene it's not just music. There are no labels and there should not be, grime artists are not sell-outs - well they weren't sell-outs, BBK are selling out hard.
>UK hip-hop is shit
No, it most certainly is not.

It's fucking dead, there is no more grime - it's gone. There is a reason why Stormzy says 'if grime is dead'.

Its just someone trying to start the meme that grime is an offshoot of American reggae because they both use Jamaican toasting.
Justin Fisher
But plenty of grime artists have made albums.
I don't get it. A GHETTO TEENAGER made a classic with this genre, and no one's tried since. Why is this so off limits? It's a genre of music.
Jordan Cook
because it's not part of the culture. this really isn't hard to understand. i've seen you make these same posts in every grime thread you sperg.
Asher Ramirez
Like Burial, people cling on to one album in a genre and never explore further because muh critical acclaim.
Jason Flores
because most grime fans don't consume it in the album format
Levi Williams
But it's clearly part of the culture because it's been fucking done and highly acclaimed.
James Stewart
An exception to the rule.
Christian Perry
Maybe back in the day but nowadays it's different unless you're proper into dance music, but nowadays grime is rooted in roadman shit which is hip-hop culture so albums are gonna be more prominent.
Jordan King
Why does it have to be an exception?
Jonathan Sanders
but even then, they're more likely to watch a set on youtube or listen to a single than sit through a whole album
Blake Wilson
>i'm too lazy to seek out this music on my own so i want it in the most easily consumable format possible, preferably reviewed by pitchfork
Luke Carter
This is an acclaimed highly popular breakbeat hardcore ''album'' but the rest of the genre is all about the singles. No wait, Altern-8 released an album but like Experience, it was just a collection of bangers.
Ryan Martinez
>A GHETTO TEENAGER made a classic with this genre
Yeah but all he did was turn his bars into an album. Dizzee was famous well before he released Boy in Da Corner. Dizzee is far from just a ghetto teenager, he is one of the reasons why grime is so big, mainly the only reason. Pretty much the only reason he got SO big was because of Crazy Titch, one of the true grime grand-daddies.

Notice how smiler they sound? Crazy is doing 30 years for murder and if he weren't in jail him and dizzee would probably have the same career.
It's simply not an album scene. It's about beats and bars, that's what it should always be about - it is changing though, sadly.
Blake Campbell
So let's just say a good rapper/MC made an album with grime beats? And it was good.
What would that be and what happens then?
Adrian Howard

Jack Stewart
It would be grime..... Grime is not restricted to the UK.
youtube.com
A good grime album coming out outside of the UK probably will never happen.
Colton Thomas
Camden Martinez
This is an acclaimed highly popular jungle ''album'' but the rest of the genre is all about the singles. No wait, 4hero released an album but like Slammin' Vinyl, it was just a collection of bangers.
Nathan Murphy
Which does Sup Forums prefer?
Asher Peterson
*American reggae and grime
Kevin Adams
>good rap is political
How to spot a retard.
Stormzy has good flow which, as you know, can't be expressed in lyrics alone. Also using the new-school artists is an easy way to spot someone who knows nothing about grime.
>triggered
Hudson Sanders
hip hop is shit, as is grime
trip hop took the idea to its logical conclusion 20 years ago. get with the times americucks
Ayden Sullivan
The fuck are you talking about. I didn't say either was good or bad. Why are britbongs so defensive?

Evan Perez
I'm not biased. I don't like either
Nathan Ross
You're simply retarded if you think that image is un-biased.
Isaac Lewis
If that's the case it's because reality has a bias
Owen Thomas
>being this retarded
Please, for the love of god, continue.
Kayden Sanders
If Titch wasn't in for murder he'd have been picked up for something else by now. Man had videos of him kidnapping someone in Practice Hours (2?)
Plenty of MCs drop albums. Mixtapes too. Problem is that it's a small genre so unless it hits the radar of large publications no many people know.
Jacob Smith

hip hop is lazy. grime is getting massive and brings the energy hip hop did 16 odd years ago
make way, grime is taking over
