So the people over at Grimeforum had the genius idea of having 'Grime Awards' this year. I don't know if it's the first time this has happened but it's brilliant. As a fan of Grime music let me just say, that all jokes aside (and let's face it there are many to be made) I think this is a really great idea to recognise, congratulate and highlight the huge amount of talent there is in the scene. Hopefully it will be another small step in diminishing the cliches that come with it. I recently spoke to someone who said they appreciate the beats and the sound of grime, but from when an MC opens their mouth it becomes child's play which I think is very unfair. Now I'm no grime know-it-all or insider by any means, all that is left to the pros but the fact that I'm from the Midlands (bassline heaven) and grim stole my heart - I think I'm a nice fan :)
Despite this, however, I have still been dying of laughter for the past hour. The thought of a Grime Awards ceremony has had me unable to breathe and triggered all these questions in my head like; What park will they be held in? Will the winners get a real fake gold medal shaped like a shank? Who is presenting? What if Maniac wins an award - will there be a live stream of him in prison accepting his prize whilst doing push-ups and wearing a bandana? What refreshments will be served, magic brownies? Will there be anyone on standby in case Tempz doesn't win anything and commences to boy off da ting? What will the acceptance speeches be like? I really hope that there will be a ceremony and if I don't get invited then let's hope SBTV will be there to catch the tears, tantrums and fresh trims.
If I was doing my own Grime Awards they'd probably go more like this:
Sexiest Grime MC: Skepta Griminal JME Tempz P Money Frisco Little Dee All of the above. None of the above.
Sexiest Grime DJ: (if you don't know what they look like vote by which voice you'd rather hear screaming your name) Spyro Vectra JJ Maximum Logan (and his hair) Butterz All of the above. None of the above.
Sexiest Producer: (if you don't know what they look like go by which beat you'd rather bang to) Silencer Maniac Terror Danjah Rude Kid Dot Rotten All of the above. None of the above.
Video that you wish you were in: Next Hype - as the role of Tempz's girlfriend who helps him kick off the HDTV from the stand.
Over Me - as the woman that JME does what ever he does with those flying words to.
Goin' In - as one of the groupies in the background.
Other - basically one I haven't mentioned cos I haven't seen.
Bar that makes you go all tingly in your special place: JME -"When I’m 'ere dont bring ur ting OVER Cos ur girlfriends heart I’ll win OVER She’s deep in love I’ll swim OVER She’ll go head over heels and spin OVER"
TEMPZ - "What d'you know about the all-star pars Don't wanna see man driving his car, Hide behind tints with the leng in the car, I jumped out the car put the leng to his heart, I said "get out the CAR!" I said "this aint a PAR!" I smashed the window dragged man out the car (DRAPES!) Get out the car!"
P Money - "I think mans got it in for me, Heard dem man wanna go gym for me. Because half of da girls are linkin' me, But it's cool though it's not a thing to me. Bare foolishness dem a bring to me. To the face I will tell a man simply, If you don't want your girlfriend to check me out Don't let your girlfriend bump into me."
'Commercial' Grime artist whose wag you'd rather be: The 'bonkers' Dizzee Rascal? Would you like to 'take that' from Wiley? Maybe you want a 'diamond ring' from Chipmunk? Or is Tinchy Stryder your 'number one'?
Send us your votes which will be counted and verified. Results will be announced at the end of the month. Happy voting.
My toy-boy MILF (MC I'd like to....) Chippy gave out a free mixtape yesterday just for the fun of it. And quite fittingly, the bloody thing is called For The Fun Of It.
If you haven't done so already then you can download it by clicking here.
I listened to the entire thing on the way to work this morning and it's exactly what I expected. Not grime and a big fat juicy musical SEND. And also - when the fuck did he become a hip hop artist?
Now I love Chipmunk, and I'm not one to criticise his blatant abandoment of where he originally came from because let's be honest, he must be one of the richest teenagers in his field at the moment. At the same time however, I find it quite unsettling when I hear Drake, Beyonce, Timbaland and Nelly Futardo on a 'Chipmunk' mixtape. I realise the novelty of covering/dubbing American popular music must be exciting (not to mention convenient due to the magnitude of audiences for these songs) but come on - you're a UK artist Chippy...not to mention the self confessed 'grime scene' saviour.
Content wise, Chippy's flow is standardly witty and actually quite adorable but thematically, the whole thing is quite disappointing. Every single song is basically telling everyone who might not rate him to suck out, telling all the men that their girlfriends want him and as previously mentioned, it's simply a big fat indirect to his haters.
Chippy did you not read my tweet the other day? "You can't hate someone without caring for them so if you have a lot of haters, it means lots of people care about your life..."
You should be flattered!
My favourite track is 2010 featuring King of Grime (and king of Twitter) Wiley and of course She Likes. However the track which stands out most to me is his cover of Beyonce's Sweet Dreams. Only Chip diddy chip could flip diddy flip an epic love song into a BIG FAT SEND.
*insert creasing Loukia here*
He is a very angry young man these days. VERY angry.
Anyway. Here's his F64 for SBTV which I actually adore:
I still love you Chippy even though comparing League of My Own to your recent offering, is like comparing cake to sprouts.
A word of advice to those people that are confusing Twitter.com with Match.com:
Meaningless banter aside, if you're going to use social networking in an actual attempt to get sex/find love, then from the time when you decide to recycle your bars it's probably best you don't use them on a group of girls who might even be remotely connected (you'd be surprised) because a) you're going to get your reputation into a whole heap of mess and b) GIRLS TALK. Remember that.
We can hide behind a mask of charm and wit but everything we say and do in life will one day come back to haunt us. It's called Karma bruv. So be nice yeah. Be nice to yourself if anything.
