Flat Eric Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Back when So Solid Crew and Oxide n Neutrino were in their prime..they had the game on L.O.C.K. Most of their videos had some sort of concept (unlike some of their lyrics but who cared back then) and the beats were banging. Videos like the one below make me miss those days so much.. . Reminds me of secondary school. UK artists like JME n the rest will never ever in their lifetime achieve what they did, sorry to all you BoyBetterKnow fanboys and girls. You probably knew that aswell but I see some people saying "If JME released a proper well put together album it would sell gazillions" (They didnt really say gazillions but something like that)Anyway, It's late so I'm off to read a book and hopefully get some nice sleep. Thanks for reading. SoSolid >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest George Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Our 1st So Solid thread, used to be a reg on RWDYes they were sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streets. Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 So Solid have been the only consistant music act from road in the UK. They had plenty of top 20 hits and they made themselfs a household name (even amongst the middle class)it's a shame that labels dont wanna take that kinda risk again, i suppose so solid were their own worst enemy. Acts like BoyBetterKnow do have a chance though, remember so solid didn't buss overnight. they were grinding properly for at least 4 years before their hits came Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strictly Business Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Their beats were and are stil some of the best in grime to date, but They sheeged it up for everyone else, didnt one of them pie a teenage girl ina her face, broke her jaw? Skat D i think. And didnt Neutrino shoot himself in his leg? didnt one of them get done for class a supply G Man i think it was, and then there was Megaman encouraging some no name to buss his gun and kill a man, oh yeah and Ashely pulling out a gun on a traffic warden cos he put a ticket on his TT .... next thing you see him on Tv in prison with a pickey head and neek glasses on some repenting 2pac flexx PER-LEASE gimme a break.They had their day. They cant come back.Rap Dis beat was Disgusting tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Lets get real... Was So Solid grime though? I don't think it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest George Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Well I did think they kinda changed the garage scene, using daker beats and being a lot more MC based. So you could argue they started the move from the happy garage scene to the dark grime scene.Woah, Rap Dis, They Dont Know (remix) sick beats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
