grime still bothers me... is dizzee grime? i like a lot of his stuff, but even some of the stuff on boy in da corner is too harsh... it just makes me feel as though my face is being scraped on the asphalt. which, in a visceral sense, is pretty cool, i guess. but...

Some argue whether Dizzee's grime is the "real" or only grime, and whether GRIME the comp isn't trendhopping. The latter is also called dubstep, which is appropriate, cos you get the fluidity of dub and the "step" mechanism like in dance or dancejoint music (like what might be playing in a club even though more for talking and jittering and tablehopping and even listening to, more than dancing to, I would imagine. Kinda like the earlier British/West Indian parties and/or clubs called "blues," or the vibe in Colin MacInnes novel about that,CITY OF SPADES). But trippy too, like dub should be. Dizzee's grime is more rap than dub, but rap always had a basis in ub as well as toasting. I wrote about this comp in the Voice. Their Search is still messed up since the re-launch, but if you enter "MarkOne" in quotes, in the lower of the two boxes on the left margin, should see th review (www.villagevoice.com)

I thought the grime comp was fucking boring, to be frank. Just totally, totally unexciting in every way.

Sick Mouthly right. But i only listened to it twice.

no, its not boring. guys like plasticman are great. there's one track that reminds of the go/hoe instrumental, actually, for people lookng to relate dubstep to grime.

I thought it was called dubstep because it was instrumental?

Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 09:52 (twenty-one years ago)

it is instrumental.

just reminds me of drum n bass a while back, if it wasnt confined to a certain tempo.

DOes it sound much like the follow-up? I was expecting grime, not IDM. ;-) Maybe my idea of what grime is should be erased and rebuilt.
