I saw Anderson .Paak in Oslo .. two years ago? maybe. I'm not a hip hop guy, but I really enjoyed the concert.

[QuickTidal]

I can listen to this shit on repeat.

[Macros]

How many copies do I have to buy to make this number one on the billboard?

[Aptorian]

I'm hardly a fan of rap but this is not a very good track is it? I mean sure, Cube has a great flow and attitude, but the actual lyrics and the beat is pretty boring and generic. Besides the chorus and a few jabs it doesn't seem on point.

[polishgenius]

I like the beat fine and that but...





Listen to this instead it's better. Even though it's got nothing to do with Trump.

I’ll be over here while Cube comes by to smack the taste out of Apts mouth for being disrespectful to an OG.

Hmmm I wonder if a popular long-running British sci-fi show might have influenced your choice of song there?

(have you see his take on one of Drake's AM/PM instrumentals? Great stuff)



And why yes, we are going Brit. Brit is where the action's at right now.

I will freely admit this is entirely the case....but the good news his that I liked it SO much that I looked up other Stormzy stuff after, and other Grime tracks in general. Some really creative stuff there!

If we're going British you can't look past Professor Elemental

But have you heard about his Fighting Trousers?

[QuickTidal]

And this has resulted in a YouTube hole I fell down that of course arrived at the Rubberbandits...

Yeah, grime's exploding right now. Which is good to see because it nearly all went pear-shaped and disappeared after its initial rise in the mid-2000s when labels and artists misjudged how they should go about trying to go mainstream. Now it's happened without any dance-rap compromise, and it's great.

Ha. But did you fall as far as Goldie Lookin' Chain?

[Macros]

GLC actually have a few albums out and I've (for some reason) seen them live, they were surprisingly entertaining.

Rubberbandits were actually number one in Ireland with 'Horse outsider's. A timeless classic

Let's talk about how adorable it is when grime fans insist it's not a branch of hip-hop, but a totally distinct musical lineage that just happens to have superficial similarities, like it was parallel evolution. Wow, how did that happen!

I mean... they're not completely wrong? No-one should be pretending that hip-hop wasn't a big influence on grime and you can call it a subgenre if you really want to, especially since hip-hop is a waaaaaay broader term and most grime artists these days make non-grime songs half the time anyway if someone's being really purist about the definition- but you can totally trace the non hip-hop influences of grime too. Even I know that and I know fuck all about it. Ultimately, both have a big carribean influence, apart from anything else.

Then we agree! It's adorbs, you wanna just pinch their cheeks.

Anyway, to bring a bit of class back into the topic after taking it all away with GLC:

[Malankazooie]

Still spittin' fire.

Whoa, that rules.
