Since everyone is debating about the royalty of the grime scene, Who do u think is the Prince of Grime?
The only person i see claiming this throne is Tinchy Stryder, but do you really think he has the right to label himself as the "Prince'" of the grime scene or do you think that there others challenging him for the throne?

All this talk of King Queen Prince etc is long.
I can accept Wiley is the Godfather of Grime, but come on no one has the right to say they are Grime Royalty. The ones who are labeled Hip Hop Kings are labeled either because of their success rate or they PROPER stand out with flow content etc...
The most successful Grime artist to date is Dizzee and Goodz has the most stand out flow and content. Neither names are really mentioned on this whole Royalty talk. Like I said there aint no Grime Royalty just people that are on top right now...

Tinchy Stryder is fucking live. I think at this point he can basically call himself whatever the fuck he wants to. His levels have been high from day.

I ain't heard alot from him to be frank, yh i kno his been on westwood n reh teh teh. But i'd like to see him do some good quality mixtapes, and work with a more mc's. Basically i'm tryin to say he could be doing what chipmunks doing now.

Popularity doesn't always equal the best imo.

Some mans get ratings for work rate when their levels aint that high anyway lol.

I rate MC's based on who changes the game and raises the standard to which other mc's are measured against..

Based on that i'll say.

Wiley.........Pioneer ,but not the best spitter or producer
Dizzee.......Overall best grime artist with a classic album
Goodz........Most versatile spitter in the game
Ghetto.......Grimiest spitter in the game
Griminal....most promising prospect
BBK..........Best brand ,but mediocre spitters

We feel the need to give affectionate titles, and it works, but there needs to be definitions of what King and Prince are. I would have said Prince is the King of youngers, but obviously Tinchy doesn't apply.

Exactly this is what makes it confusing, because when Tinchy started saying it no one round his age group was touchin him. But now because he's older can he still label himself as the price??

Griminal COULD be sick but hes not applying himself, + he doesnt sound mature when he speaks.

i would say JME
My definition of fresh prince (example from the show lol) = someone that came and made an impact making people take notice.
in future you could say Griminal or P money doe but they have to come more professional this year...videos, mixtapes etc.

Jme or stryder. a prince doesn't have to be young. I wouldn't say it was griminal but i do rate him highly.

Agreed.

I would say all this talk of prince etc is a bit lame. Only Wiley can be called the King and there are his disciples - Dizzee, Tinchy, Skepta, Ghetto etc etc

But if there WAS a prince... it would be Chipmunk.. heard league of my own for first time today (i know im late) and he's sick for some1 with such little experience at writing and recording.
If that guy keeps improving at this rate he's gonna be a superstar.
I would sign him now if i was in a&r.. let him simmer in background and then he'll merk the scene..
Kinda like the Theo Walcott of grime? lol

dpnt ppl realise once a major signs u they take u out of your element so you'll appeal to a wider audience, espeacially as someone as young as chipmunk he'd get manhandled.

grime aint got no royalty except wiley, not thta hes the best mc but because his work rate is ten times above everyone else and hes a pioneer.
