[@KeirBo]

GRIME IS NOT A HIP-HOP DERIVATIVE. Ebro says "god dam you rap on a record it's hip-hop." but what he doesn't get is that it's not about the spitting (rapping) on a track. What makes a grime song is the tempo and the way it sounds, it doesn't actually require any vocals on the track. When I go and see someone play a grime set a lot of the tracks might not even have an MC on it, it's just an instrumental. I'm not saying that spitting is not an important part of grime, because it also is, but it's not the only component of it.

[@KeirBo]

I was kinda disappointed they didn't properly clear this up, but then I realised Krept and Konan aren't even grime artists, they're rappers.

[@espensteen8406]

Keir Bo words out of my mouth

[@KeirBo]

***** Had to be said man. It ruined the video for me, I been listening to Krept and Konan for years now plus I watch a lot of hot 97 interviews so I shoulda enjoyed it, but that at the beginning ruined it for me.

[@espensteen8406]

Keir Bo Lol I had the exact same feeling. And Krept & Konan did a shit job at showing the difference, but then again they are even really grime MC's. I was actually thinking the other day how interesting it would be if any of the UK man would go on Hot 97 and show Ebro and Rosenberg these things. But as much they are bredding Skepta these days I was expecting him to be on the show sooner or later so he could break it down for them but this Krept & Konan thing kind of came out of nowhere lol.

[@KeirBo]

***** Yeah I expect Skepta to be on there soon. When Rosenberg came to London he made a video with Stormzy where he learns about grime and London, but I personally don't think Stormzy was the best person for that, there's so many others that have had more of an impact. I don't even consider Stormzy that grimey, at first I thought he was a rapper, but it's only after he started claiming all this grime shit that I started to see different.

[@MvK.]

Krept & Konan are more uk rap artists. They may make a grime track now and then but they are not grime artists. Ebro dosen't know much about them he probably thinks everytime they rap its grime. Grime: BBK, Wiley, Ghetts, Kano, D Double E, Tempa T, Stormzy, Bugzy Malone, Big Narstie, Lady Leshurr UK Rap: Krept & Konan, Fekky, Giggs, Wretch 32, Devlin, Yungen, Blade Brown, Mostack, J Hus, Little Sims, Section Boyz, Paigey Cakey, The Streets Commercial Rap: Tinie Tempah, Tinchy Stryder, Dizzee Rascal (grime back in the day) Missed out many basically the list goes on, for those who don't know

[@simplyshama]

Grime comes from GARAGE, Ebro. It is not an American genre so stop using America as a blueprint reference. If anything grime takes influence from Jamaica not the US. Dazed magazine did a series of 20 minute documentaries on different UK genres, the culture and their beginnings. It doesn't just focus on London, but up North too. Jungle, Garage, Grime - I believe it's called Music Nation. You can find it online and its worth the watch if you want an education on music outside of your own country - which as radio DJs you should have! If you want to hear the real essence of grime (Krept & Konan are sounding way more commercial/American these days) check out POW by Lethal Bizzle. Or for some really early grime What You Call It by Wiley.

Grime is a sub genre of Garage. Grime is not Hip-Hop. So on your logic Ebro is Bashment/Dancehall Hip-Hop?

[@KingWiltshireXIII]

Sham Harv Ebro probably doesn't even know what bashment is.

[@Afrovii]

Sham Harv Grime is a derivative of Hip-Hop. Dancehall doesn't employ the same lyrical devices.. Metaphor, aliteration, etc. Bashment is in the end about dance culture. Hip-Hip and its derivatives are not. Grime is raping over faster beats. And what's so wrong with that?

[@playwright5037]

Afrovii don't say stupid shit please, like dancehall doesn't use "mataphor alliteration" say what u know to be fact... please -- there's no genre that deploys lyrics that is devoid of those devices, because they're essential to speech but onna another tip, Grime is an amalgamation of British Garage and Jamaican Dancehall -- the lyrical formatting of grime is heavily influenced by the 2nd generation caribbean boys who spat/"rapped" over garage beats

[@Afrovii]

Look at you... And from which roots does rap come? Is not Cool Herc from the Jamaican DJ culture? I am unsure as to why UK heads think it deducts from Grime to say it's Rap or Hip-Hop. It's our thing, it's to us as Hyphy was to the West Coast or Trap is to DMV. It doesn't make it less orignal. The beat might be fast but all they are doing is rapping! End of.

[@playwright5037]

It really does deduct from grime to call it Hip Hop cos it denies all the other influences, the deplete creativity of the pioneers of Grime music and overall individual and distinct culture. I don't think people would deny the rap influence, but it's not that major... what people really need to realise is that the art of telling stories to beats whether it's called "spitting" (UK) rapping (US) or "D.J'ing"(Jamaica) they have common African roots .

[@abshir44]

they deserved a longer interview

[@SUPERxPOLO]

'Rap' is a vocal style - Not a genre. Saying Grime is Hip-Hop because they rap is like saying every song where someone sings is R&B. Hip-Hop is a genre of music - Grime is a genre of music. Stop. PLEASE AMERICANS STOP BEING SO IGNORANT AND ARROGANT.

[@a.s.e7815]

You're asking a lot bruv lol

[@henrydavidthoreau3401]

I believe hip hop is not just just a genre but a movement. Under hip hop there are many things which include break dancing, being a dj, making music etc. Musically wise hip hop is the the general term, under hip hop there is rap music, trap music, drill music, grime music, jersey club music and many more.

[@theycallmesully2386]

Winné Hip Hop is an umbrella genre, it's like Steel isn't Aluminium and Aluminium isn't Steel, but they are both Metals Grime isn't Trap and Trap isn't Jazz rap and Jazz Rap isn't G-Funk, but they all fall under Hip Hop. Same with all of the dozens of genre's that fall under the umbrella term Rock.

[@SUPERxPOLO]

They Call Me Sully Grime doesn't fall under Hip-Hop at all. Stop. The only Hip-Hop thing about it is Rapping - But Rap is JUST a vocal style - Just cause you Rap doesn't mean you are making a Hip-Hop song. AS I SAID IF YOU READ MY COMMENT - That is like saying The Weeknd makes Rock Music because he sings. Shut the fuck you don't understand.

[@bdwhardy9680]

A more authoritative quote may be from Heavydirtysoul, by Twenty One Pilots: "This is not rap, this is not hip hop." I think that The Rap Critic is correct in stating that that song is rap, but I think it is a kind of rap more inspired by rock and D and B. Rap is where spoken poetry and music intersect, but hip-hop is just one way for that to happen in history. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3fZlWaQhL6kftU

But that's still up for debate. Both have helped to put people on. e.g. Wiley with chipmunk > Westwood freestyle, he is also a mentor to Skepta & Dr Dre with 50, Eminem & Kendrick.

[@arjunchopra689]

imo there's very few people out there who are making hiphop anymore! Many commercial new wave "hiphop" artists are making a caricature of what it once was. And I think you can define grime as different to hiphop because of its distinctly different bpm. Hiphop itself was a phenomenon that was a convergence of so many channels - dancehall and soundclash culture, skat, bragadoccio from sports like boxing, mixtaping, a natural progression from jazz etc, and had the didactic purposes of spreading street knowledge and opening peoples eyes to a reality of living in low income housing projects etc. It was a contempory style of music that in many cases disenfranchised black youth could feel ownership over, a sound and art that was theirs. It all manifested in three things: dj, mc and b boy. Imo it reached a rennaissance with artists like KRS one, Eric B and Rakim, Tribe called Quest, Kool G Rap etc. and from that point onwards this foundation could be canonised and built upon, emceeing became more complex, and the djing has become digital, we have lost vinyls (consequently scratching). When I hear artists nowdays like Rae Srummurd just kinda saying stuff (not really emceeing), Drake singing, and Kanye having pushed the Game out to pretty tremendous horizons with his projects, I think that membrane which circumscribes Hip Hop is stretched pretty taught. These are, albeit embyonic, new genres. What grime has is MCing and this has been born out of a unique UK music culture of Garage, Funky House, Drum n Bass, TripHop (Massive Attack, tricky, portishead), Dubstep (and I'm not talking Skrillex stuff, I'm talking Benga & Coki, Caspa etc) - the UK urban music scene has followed an independent trajectory from their cousins over the Atlantic pond. Grime makes sense within the context of THIS sort of music. So I guess what I'm saying is that Americans and British imo have different musc cultures, foundations that define what is real hiphop have more or less crumbled, and the common denominator between the two is the emcee (which hiphop has played aguably the biggest role in defining) But what is happening now? Drake in his Meek diss tune paraphrasing Skepta's lines? Rick Ross doing verses on Krept and Conan? Nicki saying "u dun no"? This is a cross-fertilisation of American and UK music that is going to prove to be very exciting. UK artists sound kinda off trying to do the american brag tho, we can't take ourselves seriously enough (exhib A, a line from Freak of the Week "Have you ever ate McDonalds on a G6?" - now you'd never have caught puffy sayn something like that!) but it's early days. British emceeing has its own idiosyncracies, nuances and ironies that have got to find some sort of realisation in American culture and Americans have got a quality, well rounded, innovative and confident production style to bring to the UK. To conclude: Grime is Grime. HipHop WAS HipHop. Something new is happening in the American urban music scene right now. And something even more new is on its way. Watch this Space.

The only similarities between grime and hiphop (real grime) is literally rhyming words over a beat grime evolved from garage and jungle music old skool british Jamaican culture really kicked off the whole idea of MCing in the UK with jungle music and the poor hard life most of the artists lived gave it the gritty ghetto content then garage came about with people MCing over garage then that evolved from one guy who didn't really get on with the style so mutated it into his own style focusing purely on the MCs then it carried on evolving to what it is today, please do your research

Wait, so Grime is a sub-genre of Hip-Hop, but Hip-Hop isn't a sub-genre of Dancehall/Bashment despite him saying it's a derivative and comes from the same thing? How does that work? Either Hip-Hop is a sub-genre of Bashment/DH and Grime is a sub-genre of Hip-Hop and Bashment/DH, or neither are. You can't have it both ways. Also, are you really going to try and say that chanting over a beat started with Dancehall/Bashment? It's been going since time immemorial ffs. Vikings and Celts would do battle poetry against an opponent, boasting about how many people they killed etc. Medieval Scots would have poetry battles where the goal was to insult and humiliate your opponent. These are basically rap battles. Tribes all over the World chant over beats and have done since it was possible to do so. If "Chanting over a beat = Hip Hop/Dancehall/Bashment" then pretty much any vocalisation in music is that. Music doesn't really follow the lines we make for it.

saying that all rapping equals hip hop is like saying all singing equals pop. yeah, because Jason Derulo and Sum 41 are pretty fucking similar obviously

[@charlieandhisdog]

Imo the main diff between grime and the rest of hip hop is of course due to the tempo. It totally adjusts the style of the bars when each bar is over much quicker, not always necessarily faster lyrics.

Ebro is correct. It all stems from hip hop!

[@5e1enium]

no, it doesn't. Grime has more roots in UK Garage

[@adoma46]

I'm from England, grime is considered as its own thing to a lot of people they'll say the people are good rappers but then they'll be like grime is sick. Grime is a part of Hip-hop not its own thing.
