WILEY GODFATHER OF GRIME, BUT WHY? MINI DOCUMENTARY. THE STORY OF GRIME. ESKIBOY CHANGING UK CULTURE

[@wileyrecordings4435]

Love this. Big up 👊🏽 A great watch 🧊

[@deadcatjordan]

Thanks for watching and for commenting. Mad respect 👊🏼

[@mrlemon8179]

Wiley was actually a DJ at the very start in S.S Crew. So he’s literally covered everything. Fun fact: he also encouraged skepta to start MC’in who infact was also a DJ at the start

[@deadcatjordan]

You are right he was a DJ and before SS crew Wiley and Target along with others were also in an RnB group called ‘Cross Colours’. I ended up shortening the video and leaving this bit out. I actually have a video called ‘becoming Skepta: from DJ to MC’ where I breakdown the events that lead to Skepta picking up the mic, Wiley was heavily involved.

[@Nainocard]

Actually it was President T, who got Skepta into MC'ing.

[@88ldc81]

Wiley been number 1 since 99 . Big up will

[@deadcatjordan]

Agreed, big up man like Will. Thanks for watching 👊🏼

[@bobbyarchaic9649]

Well done. The video was concise without being too brief or rushed. It didn't bounce around or repeat the points you already made. It was well structured and it covered why Wiley is known as the Godfather of Grime. Like him or not, this is why he is important to Grime and why he is known as he is.

[@deadcatjordan]

Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate you breaking it down like that 👊🏼. I glad it flowed well.

[@kieronkealy9016]

Wileys work rate was second to none! Legendary

[@a_r5748]

This video is absolutely amazing. People been throwing dirty on wileys name recently this video serves as a reminder not to forget the real 🐐

[@deadcatjordan]

For real mate the guy created an entire scene the morphed into a genre.

[@kehindeoyegunle8920]

This was AN education as someone UK born only really followed HIPHOP 👏 👍 😂 This makes me feel proud to be British, to see a BRITISH MC,Producer,innovative,philanthropist,& create a MOVEMENT just AMAZING. Fantastic video a real History lesson.

[@beechbashbosh8474]

If ever anyone wants to know how grime ever come about I'll always direct them to this video.. Absolutely spot on 👊🏼

[@deadcatjordan]

Mate your a legend thanks 👊🏼

[@HLTHENEXTENGLANDGOALKEEPER]

Yes this is correct this is why he don’t like the up and coming bcoz they don’t look at this and who originated this vibe

[@chrisgill8023]

Massive fan of grime and was at the right age to have grown up on it from the start, we call them the grime days( the high school period) this was a good watch bro well done

[@gotsumana]

I always knew that where’s my brother was a shoot at Doogz but I always thought the “where’s my brother” line was about Dizzee. Wiley has called Dizzee his “little brother” in many songs and mentioned it in his autobiography. I thought it represented how Dizzee left the grime scene around that time and went mainstream, and also because they hadn’t spoke in years.

[@deadcatjordan]

Hey, I think that is often the way people perceive the “where’s my brother” line. However, I would say “where’s my brother” is a reference to Crazy Titch, Doogz brother. As I’m sure you are probably a aware Titch got a life sentence for murdering producer Holmes over some bars Shaba Shak wrote for Doogz. So “where’s my brother” highlights that Titch is behind bars for life over his brothers beef.

This video is quality and you can tell the time and effort gone into it , surprised it doesn’t have more views

[@deadcatjordan]

Thanks for your support. I’m pulling together more videos, so hopefully the more I put up the more the views will come. I rely on people like yourself - who are willing to watch a video that doesn’t already have masses of views. Thanks for watching.

[@baconsarniewithtomsauce1746]

Wiley was in a crew with Maxwell D and Target called Ladies Hit squad mainly on Rinse. Before that I remember when Wiley and Plague were on Rinse when it was a Jungle station around 1997 MC Stamina was on there way before the two big tunes he had. Personally I feel Grime was a natural progression and there were plenty of people who contributed. DJ Narrows, Master Stepz, Wookie, Zed Bias, So Solid, Heartless Crew and many others were all making darker garage beats before Wiley made Eskimo. Slimzey used to play drum and bass beats like "Freak show" by DJ Krust at half speed on their early PAYG sets

[@deadcatjordan]

I completely agree. We often focus on Wiley and he did play a huge part in the development of the scene…but there were many other artists and producers who played their part. Grime was certainly a natural development, the UK finding it’s own authentic voice of ‘the street’ like hip hop/ rap is to the US. Jon E cash, Musical mob and Youngstar were all very important too. Youngstar was the first to move to the 8 bar switch which is synonymous with grime. Slimzee slowed down jungle beats too, he really evolved the sound with his sets and the producers followed. Thanks for watching and a top comment, great insight.

The grime sound was started by Dizzee Rascal back in 1998-1999 in Langdon Park School.

[@gotsumana]

Well technically Marvel created the first grime tune with ‘adamantium rage’ from a wolverine video game in 1994. So that makes Mickey Mouse the true father of grime.

Doing one for Jammer would be great, I think he's overlooked in the scene, he as well as Wiley have made great impact to keep the scene pushing with producing, projects, and the culture. Also Skepta, its only fair
