UKers who listen to grime?

Anyone around here? I've been listening to the BBC weekly radio show (Pirate Radio I think)for awhile, and listening to some other stuff like that (Dizzee Rascal obviously being the most well known).

What are some popular artists over there? Any good singles I should check out? I'm in the US so this [censored] gets no exposure anywhere.

If it was supposed to sound like rap, wouldn't they just call it rap then? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

he's most definitely an mc. it's dance floor music, not rap in an american sense.

now, i'd agree that he's not a great mc. i only listed him because he's the most famous. there's much better stuff and much better mc's in the genre, which is why i asked if someone from the uk could help me find some other stuff.

him, I too would be interested in hearing some recommendations, as Dizze Rascal blows IMO, but I would be willing to try out something new.

Goldie Looking Chain (but they are more a piss take)

I suspect Dizzie and others similar are probably more garage type stuff but its well out of my knowledge. If you look at the BBC web site you can relisten to all the shows and also most of them have their own web page.

Goldie Looking Chain are funny as fck but I doubt they'd get it, I mean a Welsh MC rapping about Chav's and soapbar lol
I think you sort of have to be British to understand what they're going on about but you never know [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I suspected the same but were the only ones that I knew, "Drugs dont kill people rappers do" they should get.

what type of music is dizzie rascal? I have no idea, the best MC's are drum and bass/garage ie MC Skibadee

Go to Google.co.uk and look for MC's/Genre's or internet radio (in UK) and you will get the proper undergorund stuff not the cack in the charts.

If you like Drum and Bass then http://www.breakbeat.co.uk/
they have vids and lots of sets to listen to, it might be your thing, might not but at least it's different [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
