I would definitely class that as grime. I just randomly clicked at several points, and even though the tracks didn't all (some did) sound like grime, his flow is a grime flow. In fact, the whole sound reminded me of Wiley on Rinse.

 

Dunno how you can say that Faze, I'm listening now and Plasticman - Cha is running.

That's what I said if you go back enough, it all links back to American music and a common ancestor but that doesn't make it an offshoot of hiphop though. 

If hiphop didn't happen you can argue grime would still be here in some form. lyrically it would not have evolved much from simple garage lyrics though.

Hmmm

I think grime is a hybrid of ukg and hip hop personally.

Without hip hop, especially crews like Wutang, I don't think you get So Solid.

Just look at the influences in garage raves around that time, bling, Avirex's etc... all hip hop inspired.

You missed off the next part of my quote...

Difference between taking influence and being a direct offshoot.

I wasn't arguing against hiphop's influence at all, just that it is not a direct ancestor of hiphop.

Grime started more from the beats than the Mc's imo. It was a natural counter reaction to overabundance of poppy tunes that were being realised in UKG at the time as everyone was chassing chart money.

So grime would still be here just in a different form without hiphop.

its a far reach to say grime would exist without hiphop, because jungle would arguably not exist without sampling, which was popularised by hiphop, I'm not sure you could arrive at grime without jungle being in the path

vocal wise I guess you could argue that MCing would exist coming from Jamaican music

Grime came from UKG which came from USG which came from disco

Where does jungle fit in to the timeline?

I suppose you could argue people from jungle moved over and helped usher in a darker sound.

Producers were also sampling in hardcore way before anyone started to speed up breaks.

 Because ukg is birthed by room 2 djs at jungle raves playing speeded up us garage tracks to suit the tastes of jungle ravers, add jungle mcs and samples to that and a sound starts to take its own direction, and becomes much more than just speeded up 4x4 beats.

Great article written in 1999 at the time of the boom. Goes into alot of detail about jungle, speed garage and 2 step

 

Best to ignore alot of the fraff the new school journos like to write about ukg and how it staters because alot of it is nonsense. The UKG wiki page makes for painful reading.
