y'know, stupid of the 'i like grime' variety...
check out qeld's oh so high-larious grime side project DA DAYNJRUZ KRU. we just uploaded a new song 'GULLYCHOPZ STR8 OF DA BLOK'. our first new one in like a year. check it it is WELL gully.
and just pretty retarded, mind. this is what we do with our spare time. if someone ever wants to hang out with us and get us out the house that'd be pretty safe.

wait, ACTUALLY like it?
haha and those ain't west country accents man, those are well put on. http://myspace.com/quelestladate - THAT's some west country shit. this track is just, well. i have no idea what words to use to describe it. besides "unbelievable" and "shocking" (both followed by "ly bad").

the first track had an alright beat but then the west country raga kicks in.

man we spent less than two minutes on that beat, literally. either we're just that skilled and natural with making beats or you have some AWFUL taste yo. or a little of both.

anyway what you think of tinchy stryder? I quite like some of his stuff though like all grime stuff it has some medicore bullshit cross over filler, y'know the songs that have the soulful female vocals and she's singing like 'Ohhhh why's it got to be this way....' and then he's like 'Y'know I love you girl, but I got keep street to keep laying down beats.. That's how it is for us' and so on.

I don't actually listen to ANY grime at all, I just mock it from a safe distance. Thanks for confirming that I'm right for doing so!

here they aren't actually the lyrics, I was just parodying that general style, it must be grimes equivalent of the rock ballad.
anyway the distinction between grime and hip hop is pretty arbitrary, no?

anyway this is tinchy.

Grime comes from garage and dance, just with some rap influence. It's a bit of a stretch to call it hip-hop really. I find there's more in common between punk and metal than hip-hop and grime (and it's not like 'oh they both use guitars and are loud!' really works as defining them anymore than 'they both rap over drum machines' does. and proper hip-hop uses sampled funk breaks for drums anyway).
i'll see about checking that out maybe later. just got Jenre spinning some records behind me at the moment so it's all pretty chill here without having someone spitting really fast and repetitive raps at me with the same four lines repeated for a whole verse.

although to be honest i have nothing against grime at all. the YOOT like it and it's dope that they've got their own thing. just gets annoying when grime acts play at hip-hop shows though (also see: drum n bass. stop playing this with hip-hop!).
Jan 24 2008 18:06
#12
yeah i know that and it's pretty obvious with awful shit like So Solid but Dizze's first album is as much hip hop as grime, I mean take 'Fix Up'.
and that slow funky hip hop bores me, give me some dirty and dancy.

what you think of stuff like Spank Rock or do you hate that impure crossover stuff?

Yeah, Dizzee Rascal's a perfect example of grime and hip-hop together. Similar to how I'd say that Damian Marley song Welcome to Jamrock is the perfect meeting point of hip-hop and reegae. I don't mind Dizzee, he's got some good tunes. Is there a lot of stuff like that which is complete crossover? 'cos most grime i hear (or grime acts i see out here) is so deplorably bad that I just can't cope.
it's not just about slow funky shit though, some HEAVY hip-hop tunes are made from funk breaks. best to completely chop up the samples and just take individual drum sounds to get what you want. i think they've started taking that into grime a little more rather than just using fruity loops drums.

yes it's true i really don't know fuck all about crap hardcore or gay 80's pop music.
Jan 25 2008 01:43

Or any genre of music ever.
Why weren't you at the gig tonight. We lost shitloads of money. I fucking hate putting on gigs.
Jan 25 2008 01:45

actually xConorx has an encyclopedic knowledge of shit eighties pop, it really is impressive in a really 'woah you're a fucking weirdo way', that mutha fucka can tell you anything you need to know about Curiosity Killed the Cat and other shit.
As for having bad music taste, he likes Jamiroquai, The Brand New Heavies and used have that homeless looking cunt Badly Drawn Boy on all the time. This is before we even get into his non ironic love of tough guy hardcore and Earth Crisis.
His favourite Refused song is Pump the Breaks ffs!
Shit I almost forgot he was properly into Athlete as well!11!!1 That's some shocking shit!
I didn't go to the gig because the bands looked as interesting/entertaining as shtting razor blades whilst reading a management manual and it would appear the paying public agree with me.

Actually my favourite Refused song is Sunflower Princess, but whatever.
Earth Crisis were sweet, and I have a thing for 90s dodgy vegan metal and hardline records and zines, it's kinda like our Organise comrades love for a certain other kind of taboo music.
I like a bit of acid jazz, some "nu-jazz", laid back hip hop and the hiphop-jazz fusion shit, like what Guru did and whatnot.
I like lots of late-80s pop because that's what was on TOTP when I was about 5yrs old and I was raised by TV

You mena Shit Hop surely.
Seriously that laid back funky jazz shit bores me to fucking tears, except when they be rapping some straight up cheesey shit about mind sex and beautiful black princesses over the top of it, then it's just funny.

Its time for some mind sex, we aint got to take our clothes off yet
We can burn the incense, and just chat
Relax, I got the good vibrations
Before we make love lets have a good conversation[verse 1]
Pardon me love but you seem like my type
What you doin tonight? you should stop by the site
We could, roll some weed play some records and talk
I got a fly spot downtown brooklyn, new york
Now I know you think I wanna fuck, no doubt
But tonight well try a different route, how bout we start
With a salad, a fresh bed of lettuce with croutons
Later we can play a game of chess on the futon
See I aint got to get in your blouse
Its your eye contact, that be getting me aroused
When you show me your mind, it make me wanna show you mines
Reflecting my light, when it shines, just takin our time
Before the nights through, we could get physical too
I aint tryin to say I dont wanna fuck, cause I do
But for me boo, makin love is just as much mental
I like to know what Im gettin into[chorus]
We could have mind sex, we aint got to take our clothes off yet
We can burn the incense, and just chat
Relax, I got the good vibrations

Yeah, what you know about mind sex?
(singing): before we make love

African princess, tell me yo interests
Wait, let me guess boo, you probably like poetry
Heres a little something I jotted down in case I spotted you around
So let me take this opportunity
Would you share a moment with me, over herbal tea?
Take a walk verbally, make a bond certaintly
Cuz in my hand I bet your hand fit perfectly
And its like we floatin out in space when you flirtin wit me
Cmon, a little foreplay dont hurt (hmmm)
Imagine my chest under this shirt, your ass under your skirt
Its like walking the hot sands and finding an oasis
Opposites attract thats the basis
Our sex is the wind that seperates the yin from the yang
The balance that means complete change, our aim
Is to touch you in a delicate spot
And once we get it started I aint trying to stop[chorus]
But first we have mind sex, we aint got to take our clothes off yet
We can burn the incense, and just chat
Relax, I got the good vibrations

Mind sex...[spoken]
She smiles, I smile
She walks, no she glides softly by me changing night into day
She opens her mouth to speak, and so sounds ring in my head
She speaks, and I want to dance to her rhythm
She moves ever so gently, increasing my desires,
As I place my arms around her waist,
Hold and squeeze unto me,
I want to melt into her body, and discover the base of her warmth
Her beautiful black body that, no human mind could ever conceive
Shes love
Shes truth
Shes real, as real as the stars that shine in the heavens
As real as the sun that bathes her body,
As real as the moon that glows and the birds that sing and the rose
That blossoms in spring for she is that rose
And not just any rose,
But a black rose,
Black rose stands tall and stronger than any other plant
A black rose, that stands as creator, of nations of
Black rose
That never loses her petals, and blossoms all year round
Black rose,
Sweet rose,
Thornless rose
Eternal rose
Please look my way,
Please look my way
Please look my way
Black rose

it's fucking wrong, those lyrics are the fucking audible equivalent of date rape!
If you really wanna put your balls were your mouth is may I dare you to actually use some of those lines on a real life girl.

Show me this real-life girl you speak of then we'll see. How much?
Anyway, I don't even have a fucking futon, so even if it worked - they'd quickly realise I'm a fraud!
