After 3/4 years xD
The only thing that is equal between Grime and Hip-Hop / Rap is the rap...
Maybe you guys listen false grime, like, Hip Hop with high tempo. True grime have UK Garage basslines like 4x4 Bassline, UK Bass, 2-Step, Dubstep...
If you remove the vocal from grime you have something like UK Garage and nothing similar to Hip Hop.
Wiley - Bow E3 - Is one example of pure Grime,
Hip Hop contaminated the grime culture and some dumbass are making Hip Hop with 140BPM and call it "Grime".
