i love grime music. everything about it appeals. negativity, ignorance, violence and all that good shit.
i especially like it when it sounds like this...

im still down for grime. i have mad love and respect for it. its unfortunate that through unprofessionalism, infighting, hype, impatience, selling out (grindie), laziness, bad career choices and unrealistic expectations for itself (plus all that shit i listed at the beginning) it kind of killed itself. all in a really short space of time as well. i still watch for it and there are still some good things happening within the scene but they are few and far between. usually i find myself going through the old stuff. i always said it was the producers that stood out for me. the really minimal sounding 8bar stuff from the early 00's from guys like mondie, DPM and musical mobb(who i guess are/were garage) is amazing. also, all of the early ruff sqwad stuff (r u double f especially) is some of my favourite music period. in fact they still kill it. its a shame that so many people fell off though. fuck knows what they're doing now. i know bossman (from essentials) changed his name to perempay and is now making funky. the others all probably have assistant manager positions in carphone warehouse. can you imagine if XTC still made tunes? that shit was way ahead.
i hate the fact that grime may have already had its golden age.
