[Frank White]

uk music is dead

[Frank White]

na uk house n rnb been gettin attention now its time for rap to get some

[Elementalism]

The only thing that kills UK music is fickle UK listeners.

[Monday Bandele]

that shutdown song is fucking terrible,.

 

what kinda dave benson phillips beat is that?

 

joke ting

Who kept the "london sound" alive when london artists sold their own sound to make commercial crap and rap like the yanks for the past 5 years?

 

It's UK music

[dub]

I wouldn't say this is an especially exciting time for UK/London music

this time last year was more exciting wasn't it? German Whip + That's Not Me times

 

just because we have Drake and Kanye shouting out Skepta doesn't mean the scene is more alive

[Elementalism]

f*ck off.

 

About London music. Name one scene that has buss without the support of the rest of the UK.

 

Skepta and JME were nothing until white boys from Kent and Essex started copping CDs and BBK tees. This is the same insular mindset that f*cked up New York's hip-hop scene.

 

When London locked down on grime around the POW era, how do you think the scene survived? You think labels were pressing up just to drop off at Blackmarket, Uptown, Rhythm Division and Big Apple?

 

Skepta properly buss when he started linking Manny and Brum guys and shouting out other cities.

[Kuffir]

lol at the negs like im talkin about grime

 

grime is dead out in 2015 

 

same hyper reactions like them grimeforum man thinking everyones running bk to d scene cause of some moist canadian and a minstrel dpmo

[Bruno Di Gradi]

Man like Sgt Ragz u kna. 

 

beat reminds me of butters friend for some reason just more solid

[chams]

I think all these shout outs are significant cos it shows these scene is being watched

I dnt think therea been tht much good music. But the eyes on the scene is exciting

Does this mean your gonna start rappin again?

[Bruno Di Gradi]

Hope the album isnt full of these fruityloops 4 beats

thing is i know rags makes better beats.

 

[Lionel & Dave]

best thing about Shutdown is Skepta's performance on it

 

at a time when the whole world is watching, he delivered a track with hard bars that summarize everything he's about, as an American or Canadian going to check for him at this very moment, they will be able to buy into his brand off the back of those bars alone like say the first time YOU heard grime

 

no one listened to that beat and said ah shit that's a hit!  same with That's Not Me (if you ask me)

 

Skepta did the right thing here and is following an aesthetic that is not the same as Blacklisted, or that tape he did with Whoo Kid but is still delivering

 

bravo

[Lionel & Dave]

the production on wileys new track pisses on shutdown

 

 

nah

One could also say that when the scene starting pandering to the wider audience was around the same time the scene fell off.

[Agony]

The scene died when 8's and 9's stopped going to grime raves

The Shutdown beat is poor
