Know your history

In light of Mr. Wongs recent terrible performance on Westwood, i feel obliged to post one of his older grime tracks - Orchestra Boroughs.



Personally i rarely tune into grime anymore, I don't enjoy nicely sung hooks or new, cleanly produced grime beats. I liked grime becuase it was actually grimey, the videos were gutter and the beats were tinny and bassy. For me Titch needs to come out of bing, new grime acts need to take gutter bar lessons from Biggie Pitbull and Video budgets need to be cut drastically. Eventually, it boils down to the fact that the music sounds drastically less angry nowadays, causing, 'used to be punters', to switch from rinse to UK hood rap (SN1, Young spray, Joe black etc etc) as grime fails to excite.

Then again how was grime ever going to put pinkies in pockets with shotgun talk and tough riddims?

I agree grime needs to get back its rawness but at the same time its gotta do what it has to do to make money init, and if talking about rolex' and champers is gonna get the pz in then boi.

If you look deep enough there are some gully bits still going on in the scene but it remains on the other 12 tracks on acts mixtapes.
