Yeah Stormzy needs to stop singing he isn't a bad singer he's just a better mc.

As for the 9 recommended albums thing, I want to have a good balance of old school classics and some new stuff. I think newcomers might be more interested in checking out if an album is more recent. Which is why I think of an artist has a good album that's old but also a good one that's new, it's worth considering the new one. Since Godfather is a banger I think it's ok to recommend it for Wiley.
That being said, I'm still taking suggestions for what albums you think should be in that. Later today I'll collect people's suggestions and throw together a list we can work on.

You know you can use the new video tag to embed videos right?
Here's the list I'm working with. I'm trying to balance old school classics and some new albums that are currently making waves. This way someone interested in listening can get both the background and a starting point from which they can get into the genre and follow the zeitgeist. Feel free to recommend an alternative, but you gotta tell me what to take out, and 1 per person please. Wanna keep this structured.
Skepta - Konnichiwa
Wiley - Godfather
Kano - Home Sweet Home
JME - Integrity
Dizzee Rascal - Boy In Da Corner
Roll Deep - In At The Deep End
Stormzy - Gang Signs and Prayers
Frisco - Back 2 Da Lab Vol III
Durrty Goodz - Axiom
I don't know if gsap should get a spot since it feels more hip hop/rnb than grime on a while. I'd rather see something like t on the wing instead. Just my two cents
I did not know that lol
Not sure I would include in at the deep end, at the time it was seen as heavily commercial.
Not sure if already posted.
But did you know that Loski & Harlem Spartans made the best song of the year??

Then give me something else guys, come on lol
I genuinely don't understand people's love for President T, I just think he is absolutely beyond awful. He is even worse than the monotone goomba Giggs for his flow being the exact same on every song, and just doing the 'AND I AIN'T TALKING...' punchline. Even on the Kane remix he is horrible, have to start wondering about someone's ability when they get bodied on a track by DJ Beats. I know he has been around since early and I guess people have a bit of nostalgia for him or whatever, but I don't see how people rate him so much.
Did you get to listen to the Mixtape? Money and Beef is my go to track and the Fire in the booth freestyle as well.
Old School Girme/Funky and House post......
Pretty disappointed to go through the entire and not see Junior Spesh. Just a heads up, chicken and chips Junior Spesh cost £2.50 now.
In this video, Flirta D makes more noises than your airplane jet PS4 you got from Cash Converters/Generator

YES. Grime thread - I'm in! However,nynt9 I have to disagree with your lists of Grime classics. They're all songs from the last 3 years or so. To me "Grime classics" are ones form the early days of Grime. Also, have certain qualms with that Vox explanation, but I'll add to it later.
Can we post UK Rap in here? Artists like Giggs, Nines, Mist, and the wave of UK drill music, I wouldn't really categorise as Grime, nor would they themselves say they are Grime artists.
Just rediscovered this classic Grime instrumental:

Thanks! I'm always looking for suggestions. I figured the Reddit post I linked is very extensive if anyone wants to dive deep. The problem I have is trying to balance being welcoming to newcomers (who would be more into recent stuff) and respectful to old school fans. Also, we talked about drill earlier and figured it's ok as long as the thread doesn't become a primarily drill thread.
Been seeing this loads lately - not saying anybody in here is doing this, but although I love that Grime is seeing such a huge revival now, it does feel like a lot of people think Grime has only been around the last couple of years or so. I went to the BBK Takeover in August at the O2, and it seemed like half the crowd were a bit lost when it came to Wiley playing an old banger or just appreciating Frisco in general, etc.
Was going through some old playlist I had on my PC and rediscovered this the other day, so good
also didn't rate that new Dizzee album much. I mean for me he will always get a lifetime pass for BIDC, so he can do whatever he wants really, and he has done loads for the scene, but it well feels like he saw how popular Grime is now and wanted to hop back on the train one some 'I've been here all along though, remember?' flex, and it just came off as a bit beggy to me.
Like he is in the Grime hall of fame, but you cant take years off to do songs with Robbie Williams and that, then hop back on the wagon with some bars about 3310s and that like he never left

Is this just a Grime thread or UK Hip Hop as well.
Without doubt the hottest label in the UK right now is high focus.
So many talented emcees on that label and the beauty is they keep pushing the UK Hip Hop scene. For me Grime and Hip Hop have become too entwined over here.
There is a UK Hip Hop scene which isn't Grime but the media especially seem to ignore that.

Like I said above, UK hip hop should be fine too for the most part. But I'm really looking for help to make that list I talked about earlier. Read my last few posts in the thread please and recommend something :P
I like Ocean but sometimes I think it's all flow. It sounds dope but he isn't touching the likes of BVA or Dirty Dike when it comes to lyricism and word play.
Speaking of Kanye I really like Stormzy's cover of Ultralight Beam

Wretch 32's latest Fire in the Booth is one my favourites of recent memory. The Kanye West "Blood on the leaves" beat edit is nice too.

Wouldn't wanna jack OP's thread so i won't bang on forever but there's a few of my favourite UK rappers that i don't think have been mentioned yet.
CASISDEAD
One of my favourite tracks this year.

I love, love, love Kojey Radical. Utterly captivating and creative artist/poet/rapper, all of his videos are worth checking out trust me. This one is from his new album.
Baxter needs a mention, and this beat is fucking nuts.
Puroresu_kid Good to see another HF fan about, Baxters rinse out/spack out album really reignited my love for rap at the end of the 00's. You heard that new Jehst album?
Yeah Jam Baxter is dope. Yeah Jehst album is different. Defiently gone with a new sound.
Chester P is still my favourite MC.

Oh shit i swear i've listened to that countless times man, it's crazy. It's the typa thing you go to quote and end up wanting to quote the whole thing haha. Looking forward to his new LP.
these will forever be bangers. giggs goes hard in 3 wheel ups
