Was pleasantly surprised to be introduced to this track over summer.
Beat is dope
Not America, but North America. Toronto, Ontario, Canada to be exact.
Here on my endā¦ more of my friends found out about grime via the noisey documentary. Theres definately an interest in itā¦at least in the artistic circles.
There are us grime artists. I know a small grime producer collective but honestly their beats are kind of shit. And the few grime mcs that we have just dont sit right with me. There are two grime mcs out of miami but their tracks are stale imo and the last one with a brostep producer was just pure cringe.
But theres interest and eventually we may have a few decent youths trying out and becoming moderately succesful at it.
well no shit
letta and rabit
these guys are fucking weird. watched like the first minute. theyāre playing ping pong and discussing how they get grime to a ādrakeā level of popularity in america. cmon guys fuck off
If you watched further they go on to say how that would never happen and that Grime till never be as big as Hip-hop in North America.
Theyāre actually not weird at all and pretty talented. Booked them for the first event I threw back in January 2007.
yeah of course they probably realize that but thatās what theyāre promoting and or dreaming of. like itās always the ultimate goal to get something to be as popular as possibleā¦ Iām like why?
ofc it will never be possible to make grime as big as hip hopā¦but it might be possible to get it to point where its an āAcceptableā alternative to hip hopā¦ Just like how trap is dominant but oldskool style lyrical hip hop is still an option.
idk isnt that more like wieghtless grime or whatever you call it now? I was thinking producers in the line of Sir Spyro, Terror Danjah, Filthy Gears, etc Along with american grime MCs
I like that way up someoneās posted a pic of mala and itās actually pokes 
@dansci you mean like that American thatās done tunes with Trim, has a release on Keysound and been around forever but I canāt think of his name to save my life.
Edit: Starkey
Edit: J Cush
why though? thatās all Iām asking. why is it so important to get americans as a whole to āacceptā grime? thatās what I fail to understand. nothing good has ever come out of that
any āgrimeā producers worth listening to in the States arent trying to emulate UK grime, they are making it their own.
I saw a local āgrimeā act a while back trying to emulate the UK stuff and it was cringe af.

Canadians though.
Couldnāt care less if Americans were to accept Grime.
I know for me i love grime and electronic music in generalā¦an i would be happy if everybody can enjoy the music i like too.
And yeah that video is still technically a uk sound. It still borrows heavily from uk producers. Us derived electronica has a different vibe than that.
yeah not the best example of rabitās music in the context of this discussion tbh but I mainly meant US grime people just biting eski beats and talking about āthe endsā etc; very ZZZzzz
also, please stop using the term electronica lol, its just the 90s version of EDMā¦ marketing suits came up with electronica to sell records to white people that were culturally afraid of the music and rave scene.
