Loved Badman Ting, Mayhem Freestyle & Rude Kid.
Some tracks didn't do much for me. Would be better if i could find some of those lyrics somewhere. Google just gives random results.

Feedback is much appreciated Demonoid; I'm glad you are at least not repulsed by the genre any more
It really is an acquired taste it seems... but excluding the blogposts I pasted further up the thread I've never seen grime lyrics reproduced online; you just kind of pick up the accents the more you listen (I've been following it for about a year and a half). I think because 90% of the core fanbase are Londoners it's never been called for
I still hardly understand any of the yardie/Jamaican-style MC's (Riko, Flow Dan, Badness, Killa P) and you mentioned the Griminal track - he's 17 and like pure old school aggression,
bare hype but difficult to hear sometimes :p
If there were more than two people interested and I was sufficiently bored I
might attempt a couple of transcriptions lol
Any questions lyrical or whatever please ask here or PM, grime is one of many genres I want to see more support for on MB
Anyway I really recommend
this, UKG as it was meant to be heard (on pirate radio), this site collates taped radio sets from 2000ish - 2004. Supposedly the golden era.
