The Grime Society I

Agreed, that's pretty much what I posted a while back, he is quite good at spitting, but there are about a thousand kids in London who are. He's quite good but hardly worthy of this amount of recognition.



He is top 10, he is unique, and if you take everything he's done it'd be very difficult to construct a compelling argument as to why he isn't. I'm including everything by the way, productions, lyrics, records, sets, everything. If he released a greatest hits compilation CD, do you think there would be 10 other people who could top it?

jme is not unique

In that case I'm sure you'll be able to name lots of MCs who sound like him



He has not released one, I said if he did there wouldn't be 10 other people with better ones.

Durrty Goodz is way too much of a try hard and pretentious to the point where he is unlistenable.

Durrty Goodz is better than Jme, but that not a fair comparison anyway, I put Goodz is my top 3

Jme is not a bad MC, just not for me. His flow just seems broken to me and I'm not a massive fan of his content.

He is better at 'spitting' - rapping faster with multiple syllables - but that's where it ends. On the whole he's a boring pseudo intellectual rapper who has made some of the corniest, gimmick filled music to ever haunt the UK. He thought he was being clever when he made Give Me The Music, even though that concept had already been done by Common over ten years before.

I can't understand how someone could go out of their way to listen to a Durrty Goodz record and actually enjoy it.



I think you're having a different discussion to me. You're focusing on spitting and flow, I'm focusing out music and output. If you only consider the former then you may as well say Ghetts is better than Wiley.

I wonder why SBTV died...

If we're talking discography then yes I agree with you, Jme is up there. Can't really argue.

I can listen to him but he holds no replay value to me. We'll have to agree to disagree on Jme I'm afraid.

And if we're talking content and flow again, Wiley is still better than Ghetto lol.

Ghetts is the better spitter, but Wiley is the better artist.

Who are your top 3? Goodz is one so I'm guessing Wiley and Dizzee Rascal are the other two?

Goodz, Dot and Dizzee

Decent. Wiley and Dizzee are by far 1 and 2 for me, not sure who the third would be. It did used to be Ghetts until the name change but he's becoming an increasingly sad bastard with everything he releases. 05-09 he was very, very good though. I'd probably say Crazy Titch, for the energy and records. Probably the only rapper I'd go out of my way to check up on these days.

Truth be told, I don't even listen to Grime lol, I stopped about five or six years ago, I just got bored with it all. The hour spent listening to a Grime record - where I can guarantee I know what I'm going to hear before I hear it - could be better spent finding something that surprises me.

I find it amusing how there is this notion that Grime is experiencing a resurgence, and it is back (people have been saying this for years now), and all the most prominent records are rehashes of the past. Even the stuff Skepta is doing now. There isn't really a new artist who has pushed the sound forward, it's all revisits to 2004/5.

Crazy titch was very promising shame prison had him trapped
