For the life of me I can't get into grime either, outside of the rapping it's a completely different genre than American hip hop.

I don't be to be insulting but it almost sounds like second grade ragga, except your rapping over European techno beats.

Not that I can't be won over, I'm just not hearing anything songs that are worth playing repeatedly.

This is Hip-Hop but I was gonna post a thread for him, most interesting rapper out right now imo. He is flippin sick.

What stuff have you heard?

Allright that's a bit better, its got a trippy beat. I guess its just going to take me time to break into this genre.

John Wilkes Booth

i like this

You're Canadian aren't you? Maybe try some Tre Mission, he's kinda in the middle of Hip-Hop/Grime, does both. He's a lot more skilled than our Grime MCs and can pick a good beat. Grime & Dubstep seems kinda big over there.

Wiley's last album had some Americans on there also, 'Snakes & Ladders', that was a good album.

These will probably be easier for you to get into.

First off before I respond what the F)ck is up with John Wilkes Booth! Deactivates his account, than activates than deactivates????

I think he should just come back under a new username. Hard to warm up to a guy with a name like that, you mind as well just have a KKK hood as your logo. Good guy otherwise.

Actually I like the Casisdead song much better, its got a darker edge to it, Wiley sounds too soft and contemporary.

Its not the rapping that turns me off, that part I like, it's the electronic beats that turn me off. I find a lot of it sounds too simple.

It could be that I'm just getting old & can't get past my G-funk, but here is one of my favourite songs of all time!!! so if you can find stuff on par with this, than I'll be hooked

Electronic/simple sounding is actually the style for the most part, it's electronic dance music really, though recently (2008+) the beats have started to develop a bit more. Arguably merged with Hip-Hop tbh. Here is one of the classic Grime tracks that is quite Hip-Hop sounding:

Maybe try OG Season 1, that is a very good album, basically Hip-Hop:

If you have iTunes you can preview the tracks.

tbh, when I first heard Grime G Funk was mainly what I listened to with a bit of Eminem, I think the first track was I Luv U by Dizzee, and I didn't like it. Next ones were Tings In Boots and I think Gunshot Riddim and I didn't like those either. I've included them in the spoiler lol, even for Grime these are simple sounding:



I like that track you posted, the only thing I've heard from him before is a verse on a 2Pac album (All Eyez On Me).
