GRIME SHARETHREAD

[Jack Garcia]

since 2009, almost every time i've seen grime mentioned on Sup Forums it's been either misunderstood and misrepresented, or never moving beyond BIDC, next hype, stormzy, and skepta / jme's latest albums.

ergo, in this thread i'm going to dump a whole load of grime that i personally love and deem "essential". focus here is going to be on bootlegs and sets, as it arguably should.

enjoy.

Wiley - Grimetapes.com: Wiley Volume One [2008]
>grime, vocal, bootleg
www82.zippyshare.com/v/IKhFXaGv/file.html

sample: youtube.com/watch?v=VWcpTRBoIF8

wiley's best pirate radio and live moments over the years in mixtape format, compiled and mixed by slackk. everyone knows wiley, as far as i'm concerned this is a masterpiece. selection comes from sets by slimzee, karnage, maximum, tubby and darkside, and includes a clash with doogz and some vintage b2b moments with dizzee.

[Isaac Campbell]

Trim - Eraser [2013]
>grime, vocal, bootleg
www52.zippyshare.com/v/EFOf4dZo/file.html

sample: youtube.com/watch?v=4Hg2oAIW5VE

similar concept to the above. select war charges and b2bs from 2004-2006. fucking hard, and there's even an appearance from big narstie before he became a walking meme. you probably know trim from his tunes with james blake. compiled by the grime historians behind the silverdrizzle youtube channel.

>grime, vocal, set
www13.zippyshare.com/v/vsQGeOZ3/file.html

sample: youtube.com/watch?v=n7b2POsa8gQ

one of the greatest to ever touch mic, holding an entire 40 minute set on his own. monkstar/monkee was 1/3 of newham generals (with d double e and footsie) before he left and dropped music entirely to dedicate himself to islam. came back recently to mixed acclaim.

v/a - Grimetapes.com: Wheel Volume One [2008]
>grime, vocal, bootleg
www12.zippyshare.com/v/VppkGbj5/file.html

slackk's favourite live and radio moments of all time, compiled and mixed. extremely, extremely raw. most mcs worth mentioning are included on this, and it even contains chronik (slew dem) at his darkest, infamously going fucking mad while sending for demon and ghetto, and daring anyone to come to the rinse fm studio to shoot him if they feel bad enough.

Esco - Best Of Esco [unknown date]
>grime, vocal, bootleg
www65.zippyshare.com/v/9yL6EwBf/file.html

sample: youtube.com/watch?v=81RvEjsdXLs

bootleg of fan favourites by an unknown compiler. esco/escobar, part of the slew dem crew, widely considered one of the greatest mcs to ever do it. sadly murdered in 2009 at age 26. there are some questionable tracks on here such as esco trying his hand at hip-hop, and an extremely bait girl tune (IIRC), but it's mostly quality and there are some legendary moments such as his practice hours freestyle, which you can listen to above.

yeah i have a lot, posting vocal shit first

D Double E - Grimetapes.com: D Double E Vol. One [2009]
>grime, vocal, bootleg

J-Wing, Dizzman & Rugrat - Freeze FM [unknown date]
>grime, vocal, set
www17.zippyshare.com/v/doFLx0UY/file.html

tipped by slackk as one of the hypest sets ever, so you know it's gas. this is distorted to fuck but, to quote him, "It's the epitome to me of one of them really upfront, dark and moody grime sets, like pure gun lyrics, radio distortion all over it and pulse bass blasts, the lot. I love that set. I can't espouse it enough."

>grime, vocal, instrumental, bootleg
www110.zippyshare.com/v/xYlbaP4I/file.html

sample: youtube.com/watch?v=nnBtJpkKaM8

another bootleg from the guys @ silverdrizzle, focusing on the crew ruff sqwad - better known to most as tinchy stryder's old crew before he started making pop music. radio and live moments dating back to 2002, plus rare and coveted instrumentals by rapid and XTC (the guy behind functions on the low, the instrumental that stormzy managed to build an entire career on)

[Carson Turner]

Kahn & Neek - Gorgon Grime [2012]
>grime, vocal, bootleg
www65.zippyshare.com/v/CSAUaGL0/file.html

basically kahn & neek's (duo from bristol behind the bandulu label) own grimetapes-style mix, only released on a limited cassette run back in 2012. their favourite radio rips and live moments sourced from all over the place; tape recordings of radio sets, youtube clips, et cetera.

[Luke Phillips]

never even heard of this. noice

[Dylan Brooks]

yeah, that one. it's basically all grime i've heard and some skepta stuff. is konnichiwa liked by the grime community? i can imagine it being disliked by purists because of its mainstream appeal and how it often seems closer to other genres, like some really pop rap stuff

[Jacob Barnes]

DJ Magic - No Hats No Hoods [2009]
>grime, vocal, studio, mix
www85.zippyshare.com/v/hhINcCOm/file.html

i never liked this that much, but it is definitely essential and is namedropped a lot, so you should get to know. lots of bait tunes that have since been overplayed (such as Next Hype), but it's a lively mix of well-known studio tracks that unarguably bang.

[Michael Murphy]

Yeah man.

I figure you have everything from there and this pic but if you want anything then let me know (or get it off VK or Soulseek, that's probably where I got it from desu).

Some of these mixtapes are fucking terrible though.

[Levi Adams]

Please don't stop, this is the best thing I have got from Sup Forums in years

[Joshua Roberts]

Quick question, why is grime so insistent nowadays about distancing itself from hip-hop?

Grime MCing is really different to MCing on other genres like DnB. It has a lot more similarity to hip-hop.

Even Wiley in the early days said that it was kinda like the UK's answer to hip-hop.

And guys like Wiley, Kano, Ghetto, Dot Rotten, etc, are much more comparable to hip-hop rappers than MCs in other electronic genres.

Like obviously it didn't come from hip-hop but it's almost certainly the UK's answer to it. So why is there such a big obsession with keeping it in such a tiny box like other electronic genres.

[Joshua Morales]

Roll Deep B2B NASTY Crew - Sidewinder @ Sanctuary, Milton Keynes, 2003 [FLAC]
>grime, vocal, live set
mega.nz/#!K5wH2RTZ!O30rUpfbzUL9bteHZexqaY-AJbKTVIrvjD9Jh_lcGM0

sample: youtube.com/watch?v=s7vlevE7udM

sick set circa 2003 from one of the legendary sidewinder events. roll deep (wiley, flowdan, riko dan, scratchy, trim, roachee, manga, etc) back to back with NASTY crew. absolute highlight are monkee's bars followed by d double's, dark as fuck. if you were sick of the poor quality like a pussyhole, this one is in flac from a cd rip.

skepta still has respect imo since he's obviously a legendary mc from back when, but by and large konnichiwa was a let-down because it was gassed up for ages and didn't come out for years. plus he put half of it out as singles anyway. i won't even comment on the american trap

[Hudson Jenkins]

Wiley was not similar at all to a hiphop MC when he was starting out
youtube.com/watch?v=cqn4ywMPr7g

[Ethan Morgan]

Well, the people in the scene like it because it's popular and might make grime more popular.
Most people who actually listen to grime hate it, because it's emblematic of the problem with vocal grime in its current state:
It's basically trap with a brit accent and a vaguely grime-y delivery.

[Hudson Cooper]

Sir Spyro - Pure Grime: The Very Best Of Grime [2014]
>grime, vocal, instrumental, mix
mega.nz/#!P44UxBQZ!K10XMKm7pNjFuxalVEQ195ecrmZctf3rU-IhOTVIA2M

just to get the baitness out of the way. this mix contains pretty much *every* huge - and subsequently overplayed - grime anthem there is. it starts with german whip ffs. it's bait as fuck, but there are undeniably a lot of large ones and it does what it says on the tin. an essential listen if you're new to grime and want an overview of all the studio hits.

[Luis Campbell]

Young Dot - This Is The Beginning [2007]
>grime, vocal, album
www94.zippyshare.com/v/oSHUmO11/file.html

like a lot of people i'm skeptical of grime albums and think they're generally a bit whack for a lot of reasons, but this is the boy in da corner that apparently no one cares about. it's just as good. young dot / dot rotten / zeph ellis / w.e the fuck has done a lot of really shitty music since that's all over the place, but this cd represents him at his best.

yeah got most of it desu, feel free to post your own though geezer

[Dominic Taylor]

Ruff Sqwad & DJ Maximum - Sidewinder Raw, 2004
>grime, vocal, live set
www108.zippyshare.com/v/rMZPDHc8/file.html

another sidewinder set, this one from 2004 featuring ruff sqwad. gully all round and has stryder on top form. not flac this time, but decent quality (aac itunes standard)

[Kevin Reed]

I dunno if there's a modern trend to distance themselves from hip-hop, just look at Drake and shit. Maybe it's more just a reaction against "Road Rap" UK Hip-Hop type stuff. I think it's really just that grime is basically just a dance music genre like jungle, whereas hip-hop is its own thing.

[Lucas Johnson]

Crazy Titch - Best Of Crazy Titch [unknown date]
>grime, vocal, bootleg
www17.zippyshare.com/v/DdztOkAJ/file.html

sample: youtube.com/watch?v=We4YYGH-C3E

bootleg from grimeforum of fan favourites by the legendary crazy titch, easily one of the rawest and most violent mcs, who usually ends up just screaming unintelligably on a set. infamously currently serving 30 years for murder, though rumour is he's doing the time for his cousin/uncle, i forget which. there's a couple of shit tracks but you'll know which are the good ones.

i could write you an essay about this, but basically the answer is nationalism

[Anthony Diaz]

Might as well ask here since IOMG is useless, anyone know the remix of Bambounou & French Fries - Hugz played here:

m.soundcloud.com/rinsefm/boxed210816#t=20:45

[Brayden Sanchez]

In the early days the whole point of Grime was that it was the UK's own thing and it's own scene, so they didn't want to make Hip-Hop. Then when MCs realised they could make shitload more money by making Hip-Hop, they switched to that kind of style. The current scene is an attempt to go back to the origin but has failed spectacularly by MCs insisting on MCing over shit Trap instrumentals.

Wiley's interview where he talked about him being similar to a Hip-Hop MC was in relation to him being able to put out an LP compared to other MCs only being able to be on sets and at raves.

MCing in electronic sub-genres is all wildly different, in Hardcore it's all short burts to get the crowd hype, in Jungle and D&B it's all a rip-off of Stevie Hyper D and in UK Garage and Dubstep it's all like So Solid Crew/PAUG/Haertless crew's style and delivery (and totally shit bars half the time).

[Charles Stewart]

Geeneus - Dump Valve Recordings Presents: 4 Motion [2003]
>grime, ukg, instrumental, mix
www42.zippyshare.com/v/ZsAwnQDD/file.html

geeneus (aka wizzbit and centurions) is legendary. sick producer, sick dj, and founded rinse fm with slimzee. this set has some amazing + classic tunes on it, such as most of the zodiac series, but the only drawback is there's an mc sporadically cutting in who is a bit shit. this mix cd was done for deuce magazine.

[Jason Bell]

yeah but that's not grime

when grime became a thing he didn't sound like that anymore, he sounded a lot more like a traditional rapper

grime mc'ing has more in common with rapping than it does with that video

Oopsy daisy I hurt you again

'Cause all I'll do is hurt you again

Yeah, and again, and again, oops, there we go again
We messed up once
I messed up twice
How many times are we gonna try again
Girl it's like round and round we go
[hustle] I'd prefer if you left me alone
'Cause I can't take the pain and my heartbeat feels like an 808

I'm a walking disaster
Don't wanna hurt you that's why you got to go
Destruction like fire on the ground
Thats why you got to go, oh oh oh ohhh

Yeah
See the fussin and fightin, lets not
Before I see red, lets stop
This here's really the end of
I'ma find cupid and put him in a headlock
Now why did you pick on me
Why let the pretty bird shit on me
I don't need good luck but I need good love
Thats a girl that will stand by me
Look honey I didn't diss you
Therefore I shouldn't have to miss you
And now I feel like Saturdays are weaker
Me and my heart got crazy issues

And my girl it's like round and round we go,
[hustle] I'll prefer if you left me alone
'Cause I can't take the pain
And my heartbeat feels like an 808

[Eli Flores]

Speaking of which, Rocks fits with the point I made earlier with Rocks is a rapper. He raps over grime instrumentals yes but the way the guy MCs shares so much more in common with hip-hop than it does the genres grime originated from like jungle or garage.

For the most part, a grime MC is also a rapper. While MCs of other genres wouldn't really be considered rappers.

[Evan Taylor]

big up OP

i'm what you'd call a new to grime faggot, but i've been into /bleep/ for years. mainly techno and house, but i've been listenin to a bit more 140 stuff recently.

i like the well known shit like boxed, kahn/neek, different circles, local action etc but i've noticed most of it is mainly instrumental and i've onyl ever heard vocal tracks that are produced by those artists and never actually forayed into going through MCs tracks

where would you recommend starting on this?

i'm p much downloading it all but where is best for me to start?

cheers

showtime, dizzee's second album, is well overlooked compared to its masterpiece predecessor. and the instrumentals were just as good. get this.

[Jackson Johnson]

"UK Grime" is literally just British people rapping over trap instrumentals and adding some Death Grips influence into the beats, lyrics, and rapping delivery style and then pretending it's somehow EDM or something and not just ghetto britbongs aping innovative American hip-hop styles and turning them into complete and utter shit.

low deep put out some great tunes back in the day, the most well known being "str8 flush" and "cheeky violin", and they only got compiled digitally on a cdr attached to a magazine. thankfully they got ripped. low deep was doing those playful, r&b sampling grime tracks that have been making a comeback recently but there are also some more introspective ones on here.

pictures are mixed up with this

sample: youtube.com/watch?v=29jevlgVE6w

this compilation of instrumentals from the macabre unit camp from 2002 - present cements them as one of the greatest grime crews ever. 9er can't help but vocal two tunes on here (including "The Formula") which shouldn't bother you too much.

[Owen Cruz]

I'm not that fussed since I don't have the rest of Wiley Kat Records.

If you want Garage with MCing then listen to any Slimzee/Wiley set from 03 and before.

I have some Garage but don't want to shit up OPs thread with it.
