This is pretty dope man. Don't wanna sound like I'm spamming but be awesome if you could check out some of my beats/instrumentals on my channel. All Good.
The lyricism is low quality and not on the same level as real hip hop. Maybe commercial hip-hop but not what the streets is listening to. It shows that the UK has a very limited exposure to American hip-hop and that they are basing their music after the worst of it, not the best of it. The roots of the genres don't come from the same struggles so it is expected that one will have more of an emotional connection than the other.
they came up with grime as a business move, as hip hop artist they will always be second rate to americans so they thought they need ther own made up identity which is an off spring off hip hop and takes alot of hip hop elements
They call it 'grime' because its weak and cheap. Crappy lyrics over some shitty noise. The whole sound is grimey hence the name 'grime'. It is not in the same league as Hip Hop.
@Chakrilege no cos grime was invented after hip hop, so it obviously has influenced it, all grime is really is rapping on a faster beat with a different kind of flow. Ask the majority of grime mc's their influences i can guarantee there'll be some hiphop artists in there
@MzKGeneration They may have been influenced in general by rap but rap didnt influence their music. The original sound of grime and original grime lyrics and styles wernt similar to rap at all. Just because some 1 rhymes ova a beat, doesnt make it rappin

LOOOOOOOL
why do grown men get the giggles and type "lol" or "hahaha" also why do u faggots argue like women on youtube, icuz u guys are closet homosexuals, thats why
I like that you've gone out of your way to educate yourself. Props to you man. Just a clarification, for us there is a destinction between UK HipHop and Grime. Grime is definitely a non mainstream product, whereas UK HipHop is generally a radio friendly sound.
@KingJami3 Okay so... Wretch 32 used to be grime, but listen to his album Black and White. That's definitely UK hiphop. Grime is something like P-Money's mixtape "Coins 2 Notes"
@KingJami3 exactly i cant believe people actually think uk hip hop is tynchy sryda, chipmunk etc.. people need to use there brains, and how can you get grime confused with uk hip hop, fuck what wiley said there two different genres. Grime makes uk hip hop look bad, jehst, rhyme asylum,kashmere,verb t etc actually have intellegent lyrics unlike grime, fuck grime.
grime is not british hiphop...hiphop itself is an american (new york) thing. british hiphop is when british people attempt hiphop and its appalling. much better are british genres like UK garage, grime, dubstep etc.
@DimeWS89 Lol no it's not, the mc style is completely different, the beats are taken from UK scenes like Garage and Drum n Bass. The flow is faster, and it has more Carribean influences if anything.
@DimeWS89 If you mean the The real meaning of the word which is "to be happy " then most things are happy here. If you meant homosexual then no only some people like in every country.. So make sure you use the proper word you fucking retard!
grimes changed alot now its not what it used to be at all and its because of the U.S artists like s-x and emvee have started using dirty south (what people in my area call southern hip hop) samples in there beats and effectivly uping the tempo a tad, where as the original grime sound was eski, now all i hear in grime is that rolland 808 drum kit, wich is what most of lil waynes instrumentals use. by the way im from bradford england.
To describe Grime as British hip-hop is not accurate. It has "rappers" of a sort but they are referred to (like in Old school hip-hop) as MCs as a direct relation to the genre's underground dance music antecedents: UK Garage & Drum N Bass.
It's been around for about 8/9 years now so I doubt the British kids even fully distinguish between it and UK hip-hop, which was traditionally a separate genre where Brits basically copied US Hip-Hop step-by-step since the 80s: Rodney P, Blak Twang etc.
UK music scene is pretty amazing. Devlin, Skepta, Mike skinner, Dizzee rascal, Example, Sway, Pro green, Tinnie tempah etc all got talent. Obviously the US made hip hop but imo biased or not the UK is just as good but alot of the artists sadly don't have the fan base :(
Watch a video on youtube called "history of house music" which is a from a british perspective and details the progression of house from the US to the UK. Notice the renaming of house when minor style differences appear in the UK. We in the US would just call it hard house or hard techno but you british seem to want to rename everything.
@drknoble you are absoluttely right manly i just want to give props to the brits for embracing something they should know thats their own. that their style is alil distinctive from whats been put outand it favorble toits audience
@riccorich I want to support the UK grime-rap scene, but if they want to get silly with it then hell no. I can understand they want their own genre because look every single genre the UK loves originated in the US- blues, jazz, R&B-soul, Rock, disco, funk, house, techno, rap/hip hop. Even the dubstep they love is really just a different style of house music. And another thing I'll just mention - ALL of these genres came from the same community in America- the Black Community. Look it up
@Drknoble yes, from the black community, and this is music that has come from the english black community, so fucking what???
grime originated from 2-step, sublow, dark garage not fucking hip hop, and they dont usually rap its mc-ing which yeah is from like detroit techno and house n shit. but imagine if you said that the beatles dont deserve recognition because they didnt start rock? every genre has been influenced but it doesn't necessarilly mean it came from hip hop.
@adambc5 The reason why i mentioned those genres coming from the black community in America is because many people in the US and abroad are unaware of this fact. First of all- when u rhyme on a beat (no matter what kind of beat) without singing, then you are rapping, period. Rappers are also called MCs, so I don't know what you're getting at. Grime is a british style, but it is a rap/hip hop style. Beatles came on the scene in the 60s,rock n roll was already established for 15-20 years by then.
@Drknoble theres been like 5 different generations of genres which have influenced stuff like grime not directly from hip hop, surely its good that hiphop has some recognition that is has influenced many to become who they are, but when u act like you are being negative then thats why people want to break away from it.
you're just being an arrogant prick really, you didnt start hiphop so i dont really get your agenda.
@adambc5 I'm not denying the british rap style grime was influenced by different stuff. But the MAJORITY came from hip hop/rap from the US. Look at the lyrical content- it's the same. Look at the swag-it's the same. Look- at the whole structure (beatmakers, djs, beef, battle rapping, terminology)- it's all the same. Hip Hop is massive culture, so for anything not be called rap/hip hop has to be so different that it doesn't get sucked in.
@Drknoble you have clearly not listened to anything i have said have you?
firstly dubstep is not house, or anything like house, it doesn't even have ANY influences from house, lee scratch perry, king tubby etc. 70's jamaican dub thats the main influence. secondly...WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK? if people act like you are then they dont want to associate with it, yes it had alot to do with the influence, WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE?? WTF?? YOU'RE BEATLES COMMENT MADE NO SENSE! AND AMERICANS LIKE DUBSTEP!
@adambc5 dubstep does have influences from house but mostly techno.
Grime is a different style within rap/hip hop.
Americans like and dislike alot of stuff, so you'll find a small group that likes techno-dubstep. The beatles along with many others helped spread rock n roll, but they weren't around when it was being created. The same way jay-z, eminem and kanye help spread and evolve hiphop but weren't around when it was being created.
@Drknoble oh sorry are you a pro on dubstep?? what dubstep do you listen to then? over there u even have other styles of hiphop with different names like bassline crunk n shit. im sorry if i insulted you, the man who clearly invented hip hop, and i've only been listening to dubstep for about 7 years and know nothing about it but you do, and have asked the entire population of america if it sounds like techno, if they say it sounds like techno then they dont know what it is, obviously.
@adambc5 I'm not into dubstep, but I did learn the history of techno & house and how those genres developed in America and spread to Europe and influenced styles like dubstep. Mainly what I'm saying is techno and house are the parents of dubstep.
Like i said, in the US there are different style of hip hop but they're all called Hip HOp at the end of the day. What your telling me is that grime is not hip hop when it simply is.
@Drknoble you mean like what americans have done to dubstep by making new genres like "bro"step and drumstep, its a different style, nobody cares, its good, it's called enjoying music and sharing and embracing it, creating and being influenced or influential, you can't copyright that shit mate
@adambc5 Having different subgenres is a natural part of music. But deliberately & unnaturally trying to change the name of something just because u want it to be different is wrong. How u gonna tell me britishhiphop grime rappers aren't rapping when they're rapping? It makes no sense at all. Then some other dude told me it's different because they rap fast. In the US, fast rapping is already been done & is being done if you go to different areas of the hip hop culture, it's just not as popular.
@Drknoble u just completely contradicted yourself by saying its natural to have different sub genres and then say its unnatural to change it. ??? are you ok???? i dont actually care you're just obviously arrogant and narrow minded by thinking everything belongs to america and that we you should kiss your ass, even though british hip hop has been around for decades, is that not respect? and seriously, shut the fuck up about dubstep, you dont have a clue.
@adambc5 I haven't contradicted anything, you just don't know how to read very well. I said sub genres are natural, but there's always a primary genre that those sub genres are reliant on. Only when the sub genres because distinctly different to its primary genre( to the point where it's unrecognizable) can it become a new genre. But that's not the case in grime, it isn't any different, and is just another one of the many hundreds of styles in hip hop/rap music.
@Drknoble grime IS a sub genre, everyone knows that. plus it cant possibly be unrecognisable then how would u trace the primary? and that would make it itself a primary genre when its not, basically no genres are.
grime was influenced by like sublow, garage, 2step, and things like garage and sublow were influenced from the early hardcore, hiphop, drum n bass. plus every artist has a different influence, i know an indie band that are influenced by german techno and trip hop. explain that.
@adambc5 You see what i'm saying- you guys really don't want to be respectful and give credit where credits due. Anyone with two ears or even one ear can tell that grime is connected by the hip or the head to hip hop/rap because....it is hip hop/rap. But your break down of grime is totally ridiculous. Again, I'm not denying the influence of other stuff into grime, but the number one contributor, the primary contributor, the music that makes up the MAJority of of grime is Hip hop/rap.
@riccorich And to be honest, the rap style grime will never catch in the US because it's already been done is being done at the moment in different hip hop circles. In my opinion this is really a sad attempt by the UK urban scene to create a brand new genre. They're basically trying to leech off of hip hop/rap because they have no creative ideas. I feel their need to have something to call their own but do it the right and natural way. Grime is just a rap style nothing more nothing less.
detroit techno/house - early hardcore and breakbeat - bristol trip hop - london and bristol jungle and drum n bass - dark garage - 2-step - sublow - dubstep and other influences like hip hop especially. so regardless of whether the other genres were influenced from americans, grime was mainly influenced from the U.K.
and WTF are u on about dubstep being house? dont talk about what u know nothing about. dubstep=dub-reggae-garage-2step-DnB. wheres house??
@adambc5 Do u know how many different types of rap styles there are in the US? Some combine jazz. techno, rock, house, etc. I doesn't matter how many influences there was on grime because the it's number one influence is Hip hop. I left something off. Dubstep is a style of house, but it's more a style of techno. If you play dubstep to any American they will without fail call it techno. Because honestly that's what it sounds like. The same way grime to Americans is just a different kind of rap.
@Drknoble THEY DO NOT CALL IT TECHNO, THEY "OBVIOUSLY" CALL IT DUBSTEP, IT IS AFTER ALL...DUBSTEP.
DID YOU NOT FUCKING LISTEN, DUBSTEP= DUB,REGGAE,RAGGA,DNB,DARK GARAGE.
what is your massive problem with british culture?? were you raised to hate every other country even though we all like in an americanised world. i think you're embarrassing yourself, silly self centred idiot. you act like you invented hip hop yourself... let me guess.. you did?
@adambc5 No, If you play dubstep, 9/10 americans will tell you it's techno, only those that really know about the many sub-genres of techno will say different. I've no problem with british culture like I said yall got your own style of rap-grime. But to go and try to steal rap music & try and rename it as a separate & distinct genre when it's OBVIOUSLY the same - is disrespectful to hip hop/rap and it's millions and millions of supporters around the world. Why won't yall pay your respects?
@Drknoble what do you mean pay youre respects??? u fucking idiot hiphop has been apart of british culture too allll throughout the 80's and 90's and still is today and you want me to kiss your ass cos youre american and perfect? if nothing changed or progressed we'd still be living in caves chistelling rocks with bones
@adambc5 What I mean by pay your respects is- pay your respects. Everyone in the US and around the world that does hip hop is paying their respects to HIp Hop accept for a small few misguided fools in the UK who have the audacity to claim that the rap their doing in grime-hip hop isn't rap. Like i said different styles popping up in genres are natural, but trying to steal and relabel something just because some people in UK desperately want a something to call their own is disrespectful.
@Drknoble u just dont even listen to what anyone sais at all you're just so lost in your own narcissism.
oh sorry you went to techno college? u didnt actually say what u just said in your second comment, in the first one you did blatantly contradict yourself, rapping/mcing is a form of poetry basically, it shouldn't have to stick to one genre, u seem to think everything similar to anything has to stay the same because you cant accept change, because theres nothing new in the US at the moment
@adambc5 There are more styles of rap/hip hop in the US than anywhere else but none of the founders of those styles are disrespectfully trying to rename rap and call it something else, because they know it's rap. I mean again, explain to me why folks in the grime movement are saying they're not rapping if they are rapping?
@Drknoble to be honest i dont really get your whole pay your respect thing when you clearly dont appreciate the decades of hip hop in this country by american artists, and still crazy till this day, and people break away because of similar narrow minded behaviour such as yours, what im trying to get through is that not alll fucking sub genres are from hip hop and house. and you should know that
@adambc5 This is paying you respects & not being ridiculous:
-not trying to re-title the genre rap/hip hop & claim it as your own brand new genre even though it has all the elements of rap/hip hop.
-Not trying to rename rapping (rhyming on a beat without singing) as something else even though it's exactly the same.
Here's an example: know why in America US english is called english because it is. It's slightly different from the original, but not enough to be classified a separate language.
@Drknoble WTF DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY TO YOU??? WE HAVE ENOUGH HIP HOP HERE FROM AMERICA, WE DO EMBRACE HIPHOP!!!! WTF DO U WANT FROM ME, THESE ARE QUESTIONS I CANT ANSWER BECAUSE I DIDNT PUT A NAME ON GRIME DID I?? fucking hell, hmmmm let me think.... FOOTBALL (RENAMED SOCCER THOUGH ITS THE SAME) RUGBY( AMERICAN FOOTBALL, RENAMED, BASICALLY THE SAME) GRIME (ELEMENTS OF HIPHOP/SUBLOW/GARAGE
@adambc5 You don't know what your talking about. Your example is wrong. Association football was nicknamed soccer in the UK and was used in order to differentiate itself from ruby football. when ruby football came to the US, the ruby was dropped and to just football because it was different. Assocation was dropped in the UK, and football was dropped to rugby. All I'm saying is grime is a british style of hip hop/rap. If u believe otherwise tell what is different from sound, image, lyric,etc.
@Drknoble to start with i never said it didnt come from england i said it was renamed but is exactly the same, but ADOPTED by america. you have nothing to say on rugby/american football, and i already said like five times that the world and the u.k embraces hiphop and has done for decades, and that grime has a large element of hiphop, i have allllreeaaddyyyy said that. besides you've been blabbing saying its the same even though now you're saying its a style, more rap style than hiphop.who cares
@adambc5 I really don't get what u just wrote. America didn't adopt anything- football & soccer developed at almost the same time in both countries -because soccer, rugby & football were played in the US &/or uk way before they became official sports.
SOME of u folks in the UK embrace & respect hip hop/rap but then there are some of u who use grime as a cover to steal some of the iconic elements of hip hop/rap & rename it as something brand new.
@Drknoble i cant agree with you because you wont listen to what i have to say you just blank it out.
its like punk/punk rock isnt rock its just punk rock.
grime isnt just rap hiphop thats just a key element, after all its a sub genre. i get what you're saying and i know you simply have a lot of love for the hip hop scene, but we cant be on the same wave length if you think grime is just hiphop and that dubstep is house. wikipedia=dubstep. search horsepower productions, mungos hi fi . peace
@adambc5 Punk is a style of rock music so that means it is called rock music first and Punk second. Punk also developed in the US first before spreading to the UK. Grime is hip hop first and its other influences second because it has all the elements- from rapping, mixtapes,battling, djing, beatmaking, same lyrical content, same swag, the only thing that is different is the type of beat. NYC started with funk/disco beats, LA gangsta, DC -gogo beats, South-crunk,etc diff beats But the same genre.

grime is not british hiphop...hiphop itself is an american (new york) thing. british hiphop is when british people attempt hiphop and its appalling. much better are british genres like UK garage, grime, dubstep etc.

grimes changed alot now its not what it used to be at all and its because of the U.S artists like s-x and emvee have started using dirty south (what people in my area call southern hip hop) samples in there beats and effectivly uping the tempo a tad, where as the original grime sound was eski, now all i hear in grime is that rolland 808 drum kit, wich is what most of lil waynes instrumentals use. by the way im from bradford england.

To describe Grime as British hip-hop is not accurate. It has "rappers" of a sort but they are referred to (like in Old school hip-hop) as MCs as a direct relation to the genre's underground dance music antecedents: UK Garage & Drum N Bass.
It's been around for about 8/9 years now so I doubt the British kids even fully distinguish between it and UK hip-hop, which was traditionally a separate genre where Brits basically copied US Hip-Hop step-by-step since the 80s: Rodney P, Blak Twang etc.

Watch a video on youtube called "history of house music" which is a from a british perspective and details the progression of house from the US to the UK. Notice the renaming of house when minor style differences appear in the UK. We in the US would just call it hard house or hard techno but you british seem to want to rename everything.

wowpontos 1 year ago
@riccorich I want to support the UK grime-rap scene, but if they want to get silly with it then hell no. I can understand they want their own genre because look every single genre the UK loves originated in the US- blues, jazz, R&B-soul, Rock, disco, funk, house, techno, rap/hip hop. Even the dubstep they love is really just a different style of house music. And another thing I'll just mention - ALL of these genres came from the same community in America- the Black Community. Look it up
Drknoble 1 year ago
@Drknoble yes, from the black community, and this is music that has come from the english black community, so fucking what???
grime originated from 2-step, sublow, dark garage not fucking hip hop, and they dont usually rap its mc-ing which yeah is from like detroit techno and house n shit. but imagine if you said that the beatles dont deserve recognition because they didnt start rock? every genre has been influenced but it doesn't necessarilly mean it came from hip hop.
adambc5 1 year ago
@adambc5 The reason why i mentioned those genres coming from the black community in America is because many people in the US and abroad are unaware of this fact. First of all- when u rhyme on a beat (no matter what kind of beat) without singing, then you are rapping, period. Rappers are also called MCs, so I don't know what you're getting at. Grime is a british style, but it is a rap/hip hop style. Beatles came on the scene in the 60s,rock n roll was already established for 15-20 years by then.
Drknoble 1 year ago
@Drknoble theres been like 5 different generations of genres which have influenced stuff like grime not directly from hip hop, surely its good that hiphop has some recognition that is has influenced many to become who they are, but when u act like you are being negative then thats why people want to break away from it.
you're just being an arrogant prick really, you didnt start hiphop so i dont really get your agenda.
adambc5 1 year ago
@adambc5 I'm not denying the british rap style grime was influenced by different stuff. But the MAJORITY came from hip hop/rap from the US. Look at the lyrical content- it's the same. Look at the swag-it's the same. Look- at the whole structure (beatmakers, djs, beef, battle rapping, terminology)- it's all the same. Hip Hop is massive culture, so for anything not be called rap/hip hop has to be so different that it doesn't get sucked in.
Drknoble 1 year ago
@Drknoble you have clearly not listened to anything i have said have you?
firstly dubstep is not house, or anything like house, it doesn't even have ANY influences from house, lee scratch perry, king tubby etc. 70's jamaican dub thats the main influence. secondly...WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK? if people act like you are then they dont want to associate with it, yes it had alot to do with the influence, WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE?? WTF?? YOU'RE BEATLES COMMENT MADE NO SENSE! AND AMERICANS LIKE DUBSTEP!
adambc5 1 year ago
@adambc5 dubstep does have influences from house but mostly techno.
Grime is a different style within rap/hip hop.
Americans like and dislike alot of stuff, so you'll find a small group that likes techno-dubstep. The beatles along with many others helped spread rock n roll, but they weren't around when it was being created. The same way jay-z, eminem and kanye help spread and evolve hiphop but weren't around when it was being created.
Drknoble 1 year ago
@Drknoble oh sorry are you a pro on dubstep?? what dubstep do you listen to then? over there u even have other styles of hiphop with different names like bassline crunk n shit. im sorry if i insulted you, the man who clearly invented hip hop, and i've only been listening to dubstep for about 7 years and know nothing about it but you do, and have asked the entire population of america if it sounds like techno, if they say it sounds like techno then they dont know what it is, obviously.
adambc5 1 year ago
@adambc5 I'm not into dubstep, but I did learn the history of techno & house and how those genres developed in America and spread to Europe and influenced styles like dubstep. Mainly what I'm saying is techno and house are the parents of dubstep.
Like i said, in the US there are different style of hip hop but they're all called Hip HOp at the end of the day. What your telling me is that grime is not hip hop when it simply is.
Drknoble 1 year ago
@Drknoble you mean like what americans have done to dubstep by making new genres like "bro"step and drumstep, its a different style, nobody cares, its good, it's called enjoying music and sharing and embracing it, creating and being influenced or influential, you can't copyright that shit mate
adambc5 1 year ago
@adambc5 Having different subgenres is a natural part of music. But deliberately & unnaturally trying to change the name of something just because u want it to be different is wrong. How u gonna tell me britishhiphop grime rappers aren't rapping when they're rapping? It makes no sense at all. Then some other dude told me it's different because they rap fast. In the US, fast rapping is already been done & is being done if you go to different areas of the hip hop culture, it's just not as popular.
Drknoble 1 year ago
@Drknoble u just completely contradicted yourself by saying its natural to have different sub genres and then say its unnatural to change it. ??? are you ok???? i dont actually care you're just obviously arrogant and narrow minded by thinking everything belongs to america and that we you should kiss your ass, even though british hip hop has been around for decades, is that not respect? and seriously, shut the fuck up about dubstep, you dont have a clue.
adambc5 1 year ago
@adambc5 I haven't contradicted anything, you just don't know how to read very well. I said sub genres are natural, but there's always a primary genre that those sub genres are reliant on. Only when the sub genres because distinctly different to its primary genre( to the point where it's unrecognizable) can it become a new genre. But that's not the case in grime, it isn't any different, and is just another one of the many hundreds of styles in hip hop/rap music.
Drknoble 1 year ago
@Drknoble grime IS a sub genre, everyone knows that. plus it cant possibly be unrecognisable then how would u trace the primary? and that would make it itself a primary genre when its not, basically no genres are.
grime was influenced by like sublow, garage, 2step, and things like garage and sublow were influenced from the early hardcore, hiphop, drum n bass. plus every artist has a different influence, i know an indie band that are influenced by german techno and trip hop. explain that.
adambc5 1 year ago
@adambc5 You see what i'm saying- you guys really don't want to be respectful and give credit where credits due. Anyone with two ears or even one ear can tell that grime is connected by the hip or the head to hip hop/rap because....it is hip hop/rap. But your break down of grime is totally ridiculous. Again, I'm not denying the influence of other stuff into grime, but the number one contributor, the primary contributor, the music that makes up the MAJority of of grime is Hip hop/rap.
Drknoble 1 year ago
@riccorich And to be honest, the rap style grime will never catch in the US because it's already been done is being done at the moment in different hip hop circles. In my opinion this is really a sad attempt by the UK urban scene to create a brand new genre. They're basically trying to leech off of hip hop/rap because they have no creative ideas. I feel their need to have something to call their own but do it the right and natural way. Grime is just a rap style nothing more nothing less.
Drknoble 1 year ago
@Drknoble in my opinion it goes like this.
detroit techno/house - early hardcore and breakbeat - bristol trip hop - london and bristol jungle and drum n bass - dark garage - 2-step - sublow - dubstep and other influences like hip hop especially. so regardless of whether the other genres were influenced from americans, grime was mainly influenced from the U.K.
and WTF are u on about dubstep being house? dont talk about what u know nothing about. dubstep=dub-reggae-garage-2step-DnB. wheres house??
adambc5 1 year ago
@adambc5 Do u know how many different types of rap styles there are in the US? Some combine jazz. techno, rock, house, etc. I doesn't matter how many influences there was on grime because the it's number one influence is Hip hop. I left something off. Dubstep is a style of house, but it's more a style of techno. If you play dubstep to any American they will without fail call it techno. Because honestly that's what it sounds like. The same way grime to Americans is just a different kind of rap.
Drknoble 1 year ago
@Drknoble THEY DO NOT CALL IT TECHNO, THEY "OBVIOUSLY" CALL IT DUBSTEP, IT IS AFTER ALL...DUBSTEP.
DID YOU NOT FUCKING LISTEN, DUBSTEP= DUB,REGGAE,RAGGA,DNB,DARK GARAGE.
what is your massive problem with british culture?? were you raised to hate every other country even though we all like in an americanised world. i think you're embarrassing yourself, silly self centred idiot. you act like you invented hip hop yourself... let me guess.. you did?
adambc5 1 year ago
@adambc5 No, If you play dubstep, 9/10 americans will tell you it's techno, only those that really know about the many sub-genres of techno will say different. I've no problem with british culture like I said yall got your own style of rap-grime. But to go and try to steal rap music & try and rename it as a separate & distinct genre when it's OBVIOUSLY the same - is disrespectful to hip hop/rap and it's millions and millions of supporters around the world. Why won't yall pay your respects?
Drknoble 1 year ago
@Drknoble what do you mean pay youre respects??? u fucking idiot hiphop has been apart of british culture too allll throughout the 80's and 90's and still is today and you want me to kiss your ass cos youre american and perfect? if nothing changed or progressed we'd still be living in caves chistelling rocks with bones
adambc5 1 year ago
@adambc5 What I mean by pay your respects is- pay your respects. Everyone in the US and around the world that does hip hop is paying their respects to HIp Hop accept for a small few misguided fools in the UK who have the audacity to claim that the rap their doing in grime-hip hop isn't rap. Like i said different styles popping up in genres are natural, but trying to steal and relabel something just because some people in UK desperately want a something to call their own is disrespectful.

@Drknoble u just dont even listen to what anyone sais at all you're just so lost in your own narcissism.
oh sorry you went to techno college? u didnt actually say what u just said in your second comment, in the first one you did blatantly contradict yourself, rapping/mcing is a form of poetry basically, it shouldn't have to stick to one genre, u seem to think everything similar to anything has to stay the same because you cant accept change, because theres nothing new in the US at the moment
adambc5 1 year ago
@adambc5 There are more styles of rap/hip hop in the US than anywhere else but none of the founders of those styles are disrespectfully trying to rename rap and call it something else, because they know it's rap. I mean again, explain to me why folks in the grime movement are saying they're not rapping if they are rapping?
Drknoble 1 year ago
@Drknoble to be honest i dont really get your whole pay your respect thing when you clearly dont appreciate the decades of hip hop in this country by american artists, and still crazy till this day, and people break away because of similar narrow minded behaviour such as yours, what im trying to get through is that not alll fucking sub genres are from hip hop and house. and you should know that
adambc5 1 year ago
@adambc5 This is paying you respects & not being ridiculous:
-not trying to re-title the genre rap/hip hop & claim it as your own brand new genre even though it has all the elements of rap/hip hop.
-Not trying to rename rapping (rhyming on a beat without singing) as something else even though it's exactly the same.
Here's an example: know why in America US english is called english because it is. It's slightly different from the original, but not enough to be classified a separate language.

FOOTBALL (RENAMED SOCCER THOUGH ITS THE SAME) RUGBY( AMERICAN FOOTBALL, RENAMED, BASICALLY THE SAME) GRIME (ELEMENTS OF HIPHOP/SUBLOW/GARAGE
adambc5 1 year ago
@adambc5 You don't know what your talking about. Your example is wrong. Association football was nicknamed soccer in the UK and was used in order to differentiate itself from ruby football. when ruby football came to the US, the ruby was dropped and to just football because it was different. Assocation was dropped in the UK, and football was dropped to rugby. All I'm saying is grime is a british style of hip hop/rap. If u believe otherwise tell what is different from sound, image, lyric,etc.
Drknoble 1 year ago
@Drknoble to start with i never said it didnt come from england i said it was renamed but is exactly the same, but ADOPTED by america. you have nothing to say on rugby/american football, and i already said like five times that the world and the u.k embraces hiphop and has done for decades, and that grime has a large element of hiphop, i have allllreeaaddyyyy said that. besides you've been blabbing saying its the same even though now you're saying its a style, more rap style than hiphop.who cares
adambc5 1 year ago
@adambc5 I really don't get what u just wrote. America didn't adopt anything- football & soccer developed at almost the same time in both countries -because soccer, rugby & football were played in the US &/or uk way before they became official sports.
SOME of u folks in the UK embrace & respect hip hop/rap but then there are some of u who use grime as a cover to steal some of the iconic elements of hip hop/rap & rename it as something brand new.
Then we agree-Grime is a style of rap hip hop.

@Drknoble i cant agree with you because you wont listen to what i have to say you just blank it out.

adambc5 1 year ago
@adambc5 Punk is a style of rock music so that means it is called rock music first and Punk second. Punk also developed in the US first before spreading to the UK. Grime is hip hop first and its other influences second because it has all the elements- from rapping, mixtapes,battling, djing, beatmaking, same lyrical content, same swag, the only thing that is different is the type of beat. NYC started with funk/disco beats, LA gangsta, DC -gogo beats, South-crunk,etc diff beats But the same genre.
