The Grime thread

Looking forward to Godfather 2, but dunno if it will live up to the first one.

Wish Wiley had better quality control. I saw the track list for G2 and it has 20 tracks, so a few will be duds I reckon - https://store.hmv.com/music/cd/godfather-ii

Off the Radar pt 2 sounds promising. Pt 1 was immense. If Wiley was just a bit better at picking tracks, he'd have like 3 or 4 really top notch albums.

his last album was an absolute belter so i’m hoping for something solid although i won’t be surprised if it doesn’t live up to it

It looks more of the same, going by the t/l and features. So should be good. I just hope with 20 tracks there isn't a dud in there.

I was really pleased to see the reviews for G1, it was a strong album with no big mistakes on it, I knew he had it in him to do something that good. Snakes & Ladders was great too.

Have you ever heard Race Against Time?

That is good.

It's not on YouTube now but the Roll Deep Conflict DVD is like the holy grail of sets for me. On this set, there is:

Dizzee
Wiley
D Double E
Sharky Major
Crazy Titch
Tinchy Stryder
God's Gift

It's legendary, I spent about 7 or 8 years tracking it down only for it to go. If you type Titch vs Dizzee into YouTube you'll see the 'fight'. A great set such a shame its gone.

It's possible I've got the audio on a hard drive somewhere. I also put some sets on my YouTube channel a while back I'll link them up.

I've definitely got F Radio 3 and 5 on disc somewhere in full studio quality so I can get you those.

given godfather 2 a couple days and im still not sure what to say

a few very good tracks but much like on the previous project i really don’t care for when it gets slowed down with pseudo love making romantic tracks. just not really what i go to grime for and i don’t think Wiley does that great of a job with them. i can only remember there being one on his last album but there are multiple on this and with it being such a short album it seems like it overruns the project.

I don't mind his slower, more mellow tracks.

Sounds like he went a bit 'pop' on this.

Born in the Cold/Humble Pie/To be Continued/Grime Wave - great.

But I doubt they are like that.

I need to get the album. But sounds like it's not better than last year's. Was always going to be tough to top that. I had wondered if it would live up to it after hearing the single with JME which was just OK. Not as good as the singles from G1.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard · 05-13-2018, 10:25 AM

it's still an ok record, it's just like you mentioned, he had a huge record to follow up.

You got then sets yet Q?

You really should get F Radio 3 & 5.

These two were sick but they fell out really quickly.
