This week's Scene and Heard for the Guardian site is on hick-hop. Read here.
The previous week's column was on trancehall and the week before that I wrote about a terrible Dutch genre called bubbling.

"grime is nothing more than a semi-successful attempt at making something which sits between Jamaican dancehall and US hip-hop, then everything makes sense."
Really? And to think that all this time I just thought it was a more MC oriented Garage offshoot. Dark bass, greasy lyrics.
You're giving the Dancehall part far more importance than it deserves simply because YOU like Dancehall a lot.

ok, but it's not really like that anymore is it?
pretty much everyone in grime is now either ripping off mavado or t-pain.
half of skepta's new tracks & nasty jack's new 'yardie' flow = mavado tribute
new singles by wiley, chipmunk & tinchy = t-pain copies

Mavado is a prat. Maleven fromm Louis Theroux the other night is a real gangsta for life
This Troy sounds like a low-IQ Buck 65. Being Canadian, 65 was of course overlooked.
