"Grime is the Punk of this generation" Interesting analogy, I was a Punk and Grime certainly pushes the same buttons and the DIY ethic is there, the rebellion is there and the cultural placement is as important! I'm 56 and I love Grime and Dubstep! Been bursting with creativity from day one and it still has so much potential in regard to new directions etc! Long may it thrive!
I'm grateful for Ratty and Capo and all the other camera people who made the other videos like Aim High series, Non Stop Working, Box Bloody Fresh Crazy Times, …. so many more grime dvds around 2000s, I can't remember all the titles… even UK rap dvds… PDC, Mike GLC… I had like 60 dvds.
I'm grateful that the camera person stood in the middle of the hustle and captured all the unfolding drama.
Now I am 34 years of age living in Australia. The Grime environment isn't here. It's safe and sunny. So I don't play it anymore. But once in a while, I take trip to see how the grime industry is doing.
I am pleased to see the original dons have educated the utes to encourage them to make a more honest living and become successful. I always wanted to see all the artists do well.
This game goes in cycles, I remember when everybody thought jungle would never die but it has. In a few years there’ll be a new sound hitting road and everybody will be skanking to what ever next level music is ripping up the tarmac!
You cats didn’t invent nothing. It’s a derivative of American Rap music that started in America in the Bronx. I give credit to Jamaican brothers, West Indian brothers, Arab brothers and Africans. Because if they didn’t adjust the music and start Grime, UK Hip Hop or garage. The pale faces would try to spit bars over Harry Potter flute sounding music lol. The Americans are the leaders of music whether or not our blood relatives in the UK accept us or not.
Big up crazy titch aka Carl Dobson one of the original grime veterans who started the whole entire scene just like Wiley Kano wretch Devlin d double Footsy scratchy flow Dan bizzle so solid ruff squad.
Glastonbury has just embraced Grime, America has embraced Grime, Europe has embraced Grime…Grime is Independent, Grime is do It Your Self…Grime is the new PUNK! And the sky is the limit!….Respect!

Grime is no different than Hip-Hop.
Culturally yours?Yes. But still a sub-genre to american hiphop. Trap music is inherently a southern culture but still a sub genre.
