Somebody innocent died. They got sympathy for it.

Yes eyebrows was raised but ultimately the situation was deep and shouldn't have happened.

Didn't this whole ting start cos they was laughing at way the girl was talking to the guy in studio. Super petty.

All that is neither here nor there

Don got pulled up on OUTSIDE and lead the shooter into his mothers room

His mum was in the room, the stepdad was in the room

They both got touched

He didn't and the stepdad died

For all intents and purposes he might as well have pushed his mum in the way of the corn to save himself

Whole scenario is just a catalogue of f*ck boy behaviour of the HIGHEST calibre

And case 2/2 isn't that far behind in terms of the way you'll be scratching your head thinking about how a guy like this walks around tryna portray some kind of cruddy aura

When you break it down like that... LOOOL

The London club night Boxed saved grime

Anyone who really knows knows that

Hats off to them guys they brought it back

over German whip thats not me etc?

I would say yes for london grime nights but as for the worldwide push grime got a have to disagree.

ive always wanted to go to boxed always assumed it is similar to what fwd use to be like 12 years back? and that its some nerdy white crowd is Probaly why I have never attended what is the crowd like I see their next event is in London fields might reach

German Whip was it's own thing for sure and i credit a large part of that due to Dan's return. a forgotten OG who returned to the scene long after he made his premature exit.

That's Not Me was the tipping point that couldn't have happened without Boxed.

UKG started to come back around 09 after a long well needed break, it was only a matter of time til Grime followed, and it did so with a massive helping hand from the Boxed scene in '11 who helped pioneer the Grime sound in the clubs again (without MCs this time)

from there all the Ableton kids rushed to find Triton, Mo Phatt & PlugSound packs and rebirthed Grime on the likes of soundcloud and the new bread of net stations like NTS, revisiting old grime ideas that were never really pushed to their limits first time round.

Grime became avant garde and fashionable again but this time easily accessible due to the new hi functionality of the internet

around this time a lot of the chin stroking d*ckheads did a 180 on their initial disregard for grime, coupled with kids that grew up on Grime coming of age and finding power within the era of online journalism, a la FACT, Complex, and to a lesser extent, Pitchfork

Skepta caught wind of this and went back to basics with That's Not Me. at this time Novelist was on a slow rise and sparked the first in line of a new wave Grime MCs that were exactly that, MCs, not youtube gangsters fake posing in sunglasses. the Boxed lot took Nov under their wing and nurtured him for all of 5 mins

it was Boxed who brought back square waves, plug sounds and eski clicks, and Nov who brought back tracksuits. Skepta just turned it into a bankable product, cleverly getting Risky to direct his vid while he sat their wearing one of his old Akademik jumpers

Boxed harnessed a bubbling movement and certified it, i think its hats off to them each and every.

all that said, i think a special shout must go to Zomby, who back in 09/10 had this to answer for

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-lPlPWdBIU

Zomby was f*ckin on to something them times

real talk German Whip took 6 months to buss and its questionable if its really a Grime tune

That's Not Me popped immediately cos people were ready and waiting

but boxed are doing what butterz was doing before really?

what about the guys in Bristol and what they have been doing for quite some time now?

I don't know much about that side of grime but to say they essentially single handly reestablished grime is a bit of a stretch?

Ok a stretch maybe, but they forced journos to pick up grime again and start to look retrospectively at what so many overlooked first time round, gotta give Boxed that

That movement prepped the press for the return of the MC, which you and I know as long term fans is the real star of the show here

Bristol is a microcosm so not sure how much influence they really had. Shout out Kahn & Neek tho, they played a part

Butters never did what Boxed were doing. had you been to Boxed you'd know that. Boxed has helped launch so many careers is nuts really

Saying Butters helped bring back Grime is like saying Kozzie and Merky Ace helped bring back Grime. Just ain't the case

A lot of my argument could be flipped on its head to suit the 'gentrification of grime' argument, and I'll take that

But I went grime raves back then, and I'm still reaching now, so it is what is I guess

see I didn't know this was the reason the blogs were discussing grime. boxed definitely deserves the praise then.

the whole gentrification is a dead topic inner city guys were not messing with grime so you got hipsters and black nerds championing it, if it was not for them grime would still be down there with funky struggling

I would say german whip is grime not all grime has to sound the same. same as hip hop it comes in many forms I remember having an arguement back in 2004 with my mate who said straight flush is not grime basically because it was well produced. german whip done well because it has a catchy hook.

everyone doing one take freestyles at the moment is interesting stormzy seems to actually motivating credible street guys to do versions I just hope grime gets rid of the neeky image it has got recently
