It doesn't mean anything for "black music" per se, because black musicians have been making hits for years in the UK...I'm a bit disappointed however, that the tune does not really represent grime, and I believe deep down Wiley knows this. He's basically vocalled a popular electro beat. Bless Beats should take as much praise.Dizzee is on another plane to Wiley still, but hopefully Wiley can use this push to promote REAL GRIME to the mainstream. However, I really doubt that the content of grime will go down well and will just end up the topic of chat shows about black people and gun crime, or even worse being the subject of ridicule on topical quizzes like 8 out of 10 cats.

Okay the sooner we all do a simple SWOT analysis of grime the sooner we can all move onStrengths - Some decent bars from time to timeWeaknesses - Ahem..Threats - Every musical genre everOpportunities - Jay-Z headlined Glasston-berry innit? Must mean rap is on the rise in the UK!!!!

Shows me that this country isn't built to sell rap music. Both have to do inoffensive, dull house records to succeed.
but at the same time it is positive and beneficial for our generation to have successful, black, male, music artistsand what about kano?he went in the wrong direction with his music but he is still pretty popular and very talented

My opinion is that i don't see anyone from the grime scene having the same impact that Wiley and Dizzie's had on the UK, which i think hasn't been that much of an impact in the UK charts. And i'm not trying to knock anyone down, but a lot of people need to realise is that we live in a country where urban music isn't popular, people ain't getting out of their beds to buy urban music.. their getting out of bed to buy 'The Kooks' , 'Arctic Monkeys' and ect. In my eyes the only way i see anyone from the grime scene and UK Hip Hop scene having the same impact as Dizzie and Wiley is if they make a particular track that is a chart song or something that compliments other styles of music.
