I am going to have to figure out how bad I want to check this album out. On one hand, I love a good album and finding new artists. On the other hand, I really hate supporting racists and anti-semites. I’ll have to find a way to acquire it without him getting sales from it I guess.
I am about half way through Grime MC right now (just finished track 10). Goes hard, I very much appreciate the suggestion. I almost wonder if Grime might be something I prefer over Hip Hop, just because it seems more focused on the actual rapping.
EDIT: Just finished Grime MC. Really loved it. I think Brothers and Sisters might be my favorite track off of it, for sure top 3. Not sure how it has the 2nd fewest listens on Spotify. Probably just because it is the last track and people switch to a different album or reach their destination or whatever before they get there.
Yeah I know what you mean :/ it was one of my most listened albums before he started being an anti-semite, but it just makes it so much harder. Wiley did a lot of the production on Boy In Da Corner, but Dizzie hates Wiley with a burning passion now. It’s tough with Wiley specifically because he could be argued to be an inventor of the genre. Pirating his stuff isn’t a bad idea. He’s too important in the history of grime to fully avoid between all his production credits and features, however it’s a very loaded recommendation because Wiley is a POS. Related: Diss track from Skepta using a somewhat legendary Wiley beat from a decade previous to the diss.
I’d say grime is more lyrical than American hip-hop in the fact that being your own person and being independent are much more valued in grime culture. JME’s vegan bars would be controversial in American rap, while in Grime it’s seen as charming and funny even by non vegans. Grime has lyrically boring tracks just like any other genre, but there’s more freedom to be a unique personality within the movement because it has some roots in punk. It’s okay for JME to be a straight edge nerd that loves to get more technical with his writing, he’s one of the biggest rappers in Grime. JME, Skepta, Wiley, Flowdan and Kano all have extremely unique personalities and music within the genre and it’s praised. It’s more about the music than the social dynamics, so it’s okay to be corny because you think a line is funny.
