apparently the nasty jack cd is good. goods and jammer have new mix cds coming soon too. i should order them really but am lacking the inspiration to bother.

doogz and wiley are clashing apparently but its all a bit zzz now isnt it.

hmm not heard wileys diss track but this doogz track pantys and bras, coke and cameras is pretty funny. doogz is so good.

grime in 09 is looking quite good right now. sing for me is kinda corny as a song - cant believe this is what ghettos trying to do now - but i like the beat, and then theres g-man, newham gens, temps, and a few other things that have me optimistic.

grime in 09 is looking quite good right now

This thread clarifies that.

the soulja boy song that leaked last week that sounds like grime is probably in the top 10 history of grime imo

that's including bubba sparxxx on the "get silly" remix obv

if this track didnt have dizzee and had dee or tempa t or well, just anyone else really, it would be >>>>

Lembit Opik Riddim.

By day Norman Lamb walks the corridors of Westminster; by night he becomes an impresario of grime, a form of urban music sweeping the UK.

Did Marcello write that or something?

slimzee was on rinse last night.

the fact he only played old tracks says something about a lot of current grime beats but hey, was pretty special.

Best grime diss track in ages. "Just do your Rolex Sweep, do your funky house thing..."

lol

'next hype' is great, as is the...uh...bootleg 'next anaconda'

kinda disappointed by the new mz bratt thing, a poor version of

i dunno what mizz beats ever did that was that good in the first place. saw it comin was o-kayyy. d double signal (or was it birds in the sky) was decent.

DRAAAAPES!

mizz beatz ≠ mz bratt

mz bratt did the 'wearing his rolex' remix but her finest moment so far is prob 'give it to em'. 'AVE DAT! MZ BRATT!

oops. yeah i remember her rolex answerback.

CLEAR all your cd racks
won't get none of your cds back

they did a video I just found out:

against the odds, i really like this m.i.a.-jacking tinie tempah track

Yeah it's great. That's probably the best single MIA line to sample though.

I SAID GET OUT THE CAR!!!

TRANSVESTITES
MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
TRANSVESTITES
MAN DEM IN DISGUISE

through a vocoder

really liked that review, tho i quite like TDs beats without mcs, even though yeah, they obv do feel like theyre missing something. dont think the mu comps perfect though, theres other beats of terrors that really should have been on there. and some of his remixes of other producers arent anywhere near as good as his own stuff.

It's a good review, but frankly this comment "TD was in the habit, like Wiley, of releasing instrumental discs. These would have been used primarily over the air or at the dance for people to MC over." has nothing to with the disc in question which is expressly NOT being released for that purposes. That this compilation does not include the original vocals on these tracks strikes me as a huge missed opportunity.

It would be like (using Matt's comparison) the most readily available Lee Perry album be an instrumental version of Some of the Best or something. Sure it might have some marginal value as a curiousity, but mostly it would just make you think WTF was Island thinking.

"That this compilation does not include the original vocals on these tracks strikes me as a huge missed opportunity."

yeah but half these tunes didnt have original vocals. they were just used for mcs to mc over on radio. i personally dont think many of these tunes can truly stand up on their own like dubstep tracks can, cos thats not what they were meant for, but i still like them, but thats prob cos im a bit of a production nerd.

"yeah but half these tunes didnt have original vocals. they were just used for mcs to mc over on radio."

Fair enough, although I don't see what would be so hard about getting those MC to record vocals for them (what are these guys too buys?) And it doesn't excuse omitting the vocal versions for the other half.

yeah but that would just be fake. like getting old lee perry dubs vocalled at the last minute. whats the point? then theres the thing that most of the vocal tunes on terrors label that he produced himself were just... average to crap.

"yeah but that would just be fake. like getting old lee perry dubs vocalled at the last minute."

Not really though. I mean it's like getting instrumental that Perry produced in '73 vocalled in '79 (which he was probably doing!) Nothing wrong with that.

"then theres the thing that most of the vocal tunes on terrors label that he produced himself were just... average to crap."

Still better than nothing.

hopefully this comp will only represent td's closing of a chapter, rather than falling in with this pointless lot for the forseeable - it's pretty remarkable how he in particular hasn't yet at least dipped a toe into funky, where the more bombastic or consistently aggressive likes of geeneus and davinche have (amazingly) already prospered.

it's funny ingram mentions soul ii soul in remarking on how td and others were unable to to establish fertile collectives - something i've kept muttering on about in the uk funky thread is how it's not entirely so much just a new strain of capital-h house but a prism for the uk to recapture a sense of its own identity - like soul ii soul era brit pirate radio streetsoul culture, or even if you like the early bristol melting pot sound with smith & mighty, wild bunch, and what have you. particularly at the grassroots level that stuff wasnt necessarily less "new configuration, new riff and new structure" type hype rather than indigenous perspective on and juxtaposition of loads of familiar things, often american.

taking something like donaeo's (fantastic!!) party hard album into consideration, what's most striking about it isnt how it feeds off funky, or tries to represent it, or even tries to make the fastest buck possible out of it while it's hot - it's the sheer bloody-minded independence of it taking its own time, doing its own thing, almost stubbornly refusing to lean on guest spots and so on. i realise you could make that sort of case for all sorts of uk albums passim, but rarely so i think where the audience is this far up in the air in terms of all the many targets donaeo could have tried to hit, or indeed pander to. truth be told i'm a bit sour the album seems to have already sunk somewhat, but just this once it doesn't feel like a failure, at all.

thats for the funky thread.

but as for td, i think he said somewhere he cant seem to make anything but grime. which is odd, considering how much he used to go on about no girls in raves and trying to make (mostly ropey) R&G etc. its weird to hear terror kinda bigging himself up and saying everyone else is generic in interviews too - maybe this mu association has gone to his head.

youd think funky would be perfect for him...

c'mon titch, couple more posts and you'll have caught up!

bless.

Sorry if we already did this and that it's from the Mail but, uh, wau: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1233207/Pregnant-teen-thrown-canal-rappers-plotted-murder-internet-chatroom.html

And coming with the telling URL, here is Rod Liddle: http://www.spectator.co.uk/rodliddle/5601833/benefits-of-a-multicultural-britain.thtml

Very basic level of research not done there by the Mail (Maniac being a producer not a rapper) but that Rod Liddle piece caused something between a jaw-drop and an eye-roll at the weekend. I assume he's outright trolling but I really can't tell.

Someone with a longer memory than me has just noted that this isn't a topic a million miles away from Rod's heart

Very basic level of research not done there by the Mail (Maniac being a producer not a rapper)

definitely the most shocking thing about the article.

thats every article ive read about this case. not as attention grabbing to write 'producer' as it is rapper.

maniac not just a clever name then.

Jolie's barrister Garry Green told the court that the victim was Jolie's first girlfriend and he felt 'swamped' by the situation.

Mr Green said: 'By the age of 17 he had become a respected producer. He was effectively about to be catapulted from an almost complete ignorance of girls into fatherhood.

'He panicked and thought that all he had worked for he would lose. He felt swamped and overcome. What was otherwise a rational, sensible, intelligent man lost the plot.'

This is a pretty shitty defence all things considered. I mean, wtf?

from mail comments, an 0_0 new spin on 'i cannot wait to leave broken britain'

May I congratulate the liberal intelligentsia for the direction they have taken this country in the past forty-odd years. Society? Hardly, or not as I understand the word anyway. This is monitored anarchy! Law and Order has been made redundant. It's all 'Rights' before retribution. Send in the social worker.
Many years ago, we opened doors for women, offered our seats etc, said 'please' and 'thank-you'. Today it's all old hat. We try and murder pregnant school girls! But for Mr Hall, they would have succeeded. A ray of hope.
Would you rather live in my world, or what we have clearly got today?
I have the telephone number of our local Funeral director written down, for when it's needed. The saddest thing is that I won't be sad to leave. 21st century Britain? I hope you enjoy it.

ps have attempted to add that times link to the comments on the spectator piece though i doubt it'll get past their mods

"Many years ago, we opened doors for women, offered our seats etc, said 'please' and 'thank-you'. Today it's all old hat. We try and murder pregnant school girls!"

OH WOW.

kind of annoying that no moiring of liddle took place b/c that went up at the weekend - it really is shockingly blatant in its racism

lol "we"

speak for yourself!!

there's mention in the comments of rumours on the guido fawkes site that the spectator may unload liddle as a result of the furore. but yeah this is probably several leagues more risible than moir's piece.

esp considering liddle's own previous form with pregnant women

does anyone happen to know what actual effect the twitter furore had on moir, incidentally? she kept her mail column - idk if she's a freelancer or not, but if so i'm guessing that other editors will be a lot slower to commission her now.

i wouldn't be surprised if it had 0 effect on her career at the mail, or maybe even boosted it. i still think its a good thing when people protest such hateful writing, if only that they know they're not alone in finding it objectionable.

That Mail comments box is like a beacon of sanity compared to the thread underneath the original Rod Liddle Spectator post.

i don't actually imagine the furore went down that well at the mail; i've looked at her columns since and they're noticeably unobjectionable - her stock-in-trade was always claws-out bitchiness, and she's toned it down a lot post-gately. whether she's reining herself in or been told to do so, i don't know; but certainly the links to the moir column on the website front page are a lot less prominent.

Mr Liddle has defended the blog, arguing that it was not racist but rather an issue of "multiculturalism".

"There is an important argument to be had about crime levels in London, Manchester and Birmingham which are down to culture. It is nothing to do with race," he told the newspaper.

"There are some people who have responded to it [the blog] who are racists and I do not like that. And there is a cabal of white liberals who responded with a knee-jerk, but I think there is a strong centre point which is where I would be."

Thing is, if we're to take him at his word then why post such a broad-brush un-nuanced two-paragraph toss-off in the first place? I've now read that piece several times and don't understand what he was trying to achieve.

liddle has been heading towards it for ages -- he's basically trying to be bron waugh. there's obviously an element of trolling there, but he keeps fucking it up, as when he talked about not wanting to shag harriet harman. he's not as good at this as bron waugh, basically, but few people are.

o god i had actually forgotten the harman thing, ayyy. and also ewww

The comments from 'Goat Curry Eating Rapist Murderer' are amazing.

Feeling the one who calls him Rob all through his post as well

This is great I reckon:

finally got round to checking that grime special in the guardian last week - nice to see them covering it and all that and the features were enjoyable reads but come on, youre covering grime in 2009/10 and thats the best you can come up with? ANOTEHR fucking feauture on wiley and tinchy as theyre making some of their all time worst music to date? well done everyone! and enough of all that 'its not dead!'/'will this lead to the industry signing more grime artists' fake hypery that people have been writing for too long now. as if thats happening. if the guardian can cover all manner of low level indie artists im sure it can get some journalists to cover some less mainstream grime artists.

that rapid tune is good but totally forgettable. novelty tune at best. instrumental isnt bad though.
