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). |
Yes I know, I'm not too happy about his ban.
I like the first track it's solid. It sounds pretty culturally rooted with the reggae beat to.
I always wondered about that. Rap in America was always really culturally connected to the soul and funk music they grew up listening to, but grime often seems completely disconnected from the dancehall, ragga and reggae of previous generations. I'm assuming that its kids from West Indies decent that invented grime?
The second track sounds like something I would have to let grow on me, and I like the song Mister Jip posted to, so I'm coming around, but I'm officially too old to be cool now, just so you know, lol.
