Shifty - Manchester MC [merged threads]

[Hij]

Just listening to the Pub Crawl Volume 3 sample I was sent by Al3x of Shifty and really quite feeling it. On one beat on the end he's spitting with a hunger and a hype I need to hear more of.

Anyone know where I can get the whole thing and specifically more material of Shifty? Preferably radio sets?

Thanks

[Hij]

Lmao at the air pie you get when you talk about a northern MC.

Northern guys, your time...

[Carter]

If God himself came to me in a vision and told me "Shifty is a big mc"...................I would still say "fuck off bruv"

[Jay]

Ile try and find some stuff for you when I get back from uni Hij, gutta 2 gutta is what you wanna be listening to. Anyone thats got Unity Radio rips aswel, thats where he appears more time.

[Retrofreak]

Shifty is a certified sprayers..
He'll embarrass bare MC's.

I'd like to see him and Devlin clash.

[Quality Control]

..downloaded one of his mixtapes time ago.. very whack..

..let's be honest even the best out-of-London grime "artists" are still sub-par..

[Mister Lacey]

Shifty is alright man.

[Carter]

..downloaded one of his mixtapes time ago.. very whack..

..let's be honest even the best out-of-London grime "artists" are still sub-par..

Was it the last one with bait hip hop and swag bars?

Very big, nice one mate.

Yeah, Quality and Carter, Al3x was saying hes recently gone the way of some grime artists doing the bait hip hop thing.

But anyway, Im sure theres enough grime content for me to listen to, nice one.

[Quality Control]

Was it the last one with bait hip hop and swag bars?

.."Get Your Hustle On Volume 2" .. people said it was good "for a northern MC" so i checked it out, that was before i realised that a good northern MC is equivalent to a swag London MC ..

[Carter]

.."Get Your Hustle On Volume 2" .. people said it was good "for a northern MC" so i checked it out, that was before i realised that a good northern MC is equivalent to a swag London MC ..

yeah thats the one lol

[Hij]

LOL at the Rhymezee boy comment in your sig.

Yeah well, I often have different tastes to other people so Ill at least give him a chance after being impressed so far.

[Quality Control]

..for real.. i've listened to the MCs which are supposed to be reppin' non-London grime (Virus Syndicate, Devilman, Vader, Wariko and Shifty) with an open-mind and still thought they were whack as fuck.. i come to the conclusion that northern grime is NOT doin' it..

[TerrorS]

I'd like to see him a Devlin clash.

Yh! Let's get all the white guys to clash to see who the best is:dozey:

[Hij]

Its a different style I guess. Some of my family come from up North, maybe thats why Im a little more open to the music.

Ill check it out anyway, if you don't like Shifty feel free to post in other threads instead :)

[Quality Control]

..that's the thing.. i was open to it, i was fully expecting it to be something good after i'd heard all the Manc's raving about him.. it ain't the accents, Jehst is one of my favourite artists and his accent is all over the place..

..people are lowering their standards when they rate up-north MCs, either because they're reppin' local MCs or just tryin' too hard to appear open-minded..

(..a lot of my family lives up north too, well, the midlands..)

[Carter]

LOL at the Rhymezee boy comment in your sig.

Yeah well, I often have different tastes to other people so Ill at least give him a chance after being impressed so far.

Well I have Spice Girls cd that might interest you

[Hij]

Fair enough, there aren't many Northern MC's I rate at all really, infact I'd say Shifty is the only one who has properly impressed me so far.

[Hij]

Well I have Spice Girls cd that might interest you

Already got the first album on Cassette Tape mate.

[Storma OGs]

Shifty Is Good He Has Bars... An Can Deliver Well

[Eric Cantona]

Yeh i have some Shifty sets, Ill upload some today

http://rapidshare.com/files/92574641/Gutta_2_Gutta_Pt._2.mp3

I upped this recently and has some of the better mc's from outta london onit including Shifty, Vader, Wrigley & Hypes.

Ill try keep people updated as much as possible if Shifty's going on radio etc.

[Hij]

safe

[R.dot.Tubbs]

Shifty is a certified sprayers..

I'd like to see him and Devlin clash.

coz their both white?

would be kinda big still

[adidasgrandad]

his voice annoyed me at first but his energy keeps you listening.

like someone else said...hes a sprayer like devlin

his crews cd's are swag though.

and yeah alex if you upload some it would be appreciated

[HypeKidd]

I liked hoodlum cause it upset me when he died in Dubplate Drama but he is swag lol... So are most of em, i haven't heard any real big spitters from up north yet. There will be one day.

[The merkiest guy]

Do you think your a big boy now, now that you've expanded your boundaries and listening to someone else! i but you feel special now cus u bigged up a Manny Mc. What next u turning this into a Artic Monkey's groupy side.

[G-dub]

made a tune with him bout 2 years ago.

hes big still.

[Omni]

Shiftys big, as are Wrigley, Liquid and Hypes.

I swear hypes is huge. Hypes > Griminal. Much better younger.

I'm beginning to much prefer midlands and north grime atm. The beats they play are much sicker and some are just too sick sprayers.

[adidasgrandad]

made a tune with him bout 2 years ago.

hes big still.

lets hear it lol
hypes is good though. wouldnt say hes better than grim. i think hes older as well isnt he?

[Alias?]

Boy can chat still.
LOL @ you LDN people thinkin no decent MCs live outside M25....

[jp88]

If God himself came to me in a vision and told me "Shifty is a big mc"...................I would still say "fuck off bruv"

Why are you disrepecting god like that you ANY GUY...

[DemWayDere]

i come to the conclusion that northern grime is NOT doin' it..

It's not doin it... Grime isn't too popular and the people that do listen to it listen to London MC's anyway.

Bassline is what's doin it up here. Bassline MC's spit in more of a garage style aswell, but try and tell me this ain't hype:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2TeNwkvSNw

[Grimes]

hangtite the token up north emcees. Same names i heard years ago, still ain't making movements i see.

[Carter]

Why are you disrepecting god like that you ANY GUY...

Because Carter is a god..........to you

[adidasgrandad]

hangtite the token up north emcees. Same names i heard years ago, still ain't making movements i see.

how do you know they are not moving?they're growing their own scene

[whats_the_score?]

It's about time another outsider came into the scene, devilman has had his time. I think it's gonna be Flex if he makes this 100% grime mixtape/album.

how you gonna make such statements without proof

[adidasgrandad]

yeah definitely flex could if he does actually do that cd with that sam bloke who uses the forum. i think wariko could too especially as hes already recognised as a decent mc all around the country.
higher stakes could do alot if they done more stuff as a crew and pushed it further.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZCsIcfxnTY&feature=related

just found this. savage from higher stakes dissing devilman. its quite good

yeah the mids scenes growing and there are alot of fans which are willing to pay for stuff so they dont really need to target london anymore.
need to get some more sets like gutta 2 gutta and britains finest out there though.

[Jay]

ye more sets would be good, noticed trillas released his cd now aswel, not very impressed with him though so not gonna cop

[Nine Bar]

ye more sets would be good, noticed trillas released his cd now aswel, not very impressed with him though so not gonna cop

cant stand trilla, travel west midlands was alright imo, nuff ppl hate it though

he got murked by lil choppa lol, but styl to this minute "dont think your a G-star, just cuz ur wearin G-star" gets me very hype

enough youngers are coming through azwell which has only happend recently, Flatline music are doing way 2 much atm.

[TRU_G]

Wariko is fucking sick been listening to one of his mixtapes form '06 recent and theres some fucking phat dub of Wiley - Fire Hydrant called I Ain't Lying

[Ari Gold]

before you all jump on the 'mcs from outside of london are shit' bandwagon, did anyone hear that shifty tune logan played early on in the show on monday night? iv heard it only that once, does anyone know what its called? i dunno if it was because i was buzzin but i swear iv never heard anyone attack a beat like that before.

people have tried to tell me about this guy before but i couldnt care less, until now. anyone know what the tune im talking about was and where i can get it?

EDIT:

carter says alot of things..................................alot

[Carter]

carter I swear you said you rated him a while ago

Nah I rated Wrigley but wasn't impressed by his video so I moved on lol

Shifty has always been swag to me though so this bandwagon is gonna piss me off so much, I might take a break from the forum before it starts

[Hij]

The guy has done a few good freestyles and that on radio. But his CD releases have been nothing short of dire.

In all fairness.

[Major]

just out of interest is he swag because of his accent or you think everything about him is shit?

[Carter]

Everything about about him but his accent tops it off! He sounded like he was rushing to get all his bars out on the freestyle and his songs are shit......trust me, I gave him a chance on his mixtapes but they were swag every time, terrible songs

[Hij]

I agree about his mixtapes.

He can bar on radio/freestyles though- so I rate him for that.

[Findhiminthebackoftheflat]

hes ite still not that gd just good 4 som1 with a dodgy accent

[Major]

I agree about his mixtapes.

this freestyle does sound rushed on PARTS.Shifty has good bars though imo.

[adidasgrandad]

the freestyle sounds rushed?how much time do you want someone to put into a freestyle?

[Arkan]

can fuck up a dance too.

well the mancs like him.

[Retrofreak]

Shifty's sick, said this from long time.

[Major]

the freestyle sounds rushed?how much time do you want someone to put into a freestyle?

when i say rushed i mean it sounds like hes struggleing to stay on beat rushing his bars out.I dont mean rushed as in written.


You see carter i dont understand how you can rate rage or a fudaguy mixtape then say shifty writes terrible songs it doesnt add up.

wo wo wo mate

Fuda Guy>>Shifty

STILL its bait carter just dont like the accent because shifty has written some good tunes.

[THOR!]

Shifty has bars

[The Egghead]

Shifty has got bars but he aint all that. Some funny punchlines.

[Steez]

STILL its bait carter just dont like the accent because shifty has written some good tunes.
Accent is a major part in music, especially vocal stuff. Young Jeezy's career wouldn't be saying a lot if he had the voice of Alan Carr.

[Quality Control]

that one tune on logans was decent but apart from that he's a pretty standard mc with an irritating accent

[adidasgrandad]

[Skeptical]

[Eric Cantona]

Shifty fuckes up sets still, makes alot of shit tunes, but makes alot of bangers as well

[Cooks]

Don't rate 'em tbh.

[The Don]

Shifty's sick, said this from long time.

.

i actually prefer other stuff ive heard than off the radar, the flows off point at times wiley really has stupid promotional power lol

very good mc though the only one from manchester thats actually stood out for me theyve got some decent youngers and i never rated that wrigz guy too much


Accent is a major part in music, especially vocal stuff. Young Jeezy's career wouldn't be saying a lot if he had the voice of Alan Carr.

exactly the way your voice sounds is more important than some would think, i guarantee the majority of lil waynes female fanbase just like his voice becos thats the only reason some chicks i know throw out wen talking about him

[Nine Bar]

See the bandwagons started officiall.

Shifty is fukd, hype bars, on sets alot, hes fukd up a couple darnces in Brum too.

No time to waste is a baaad tune. Aint made a worthwile CD yet though tbh.

[THAMTASTIC]

ive been sayign shiftys sick from day

peopel just think that peopel from London aren't good

www.snidee.co.uk <-- Best MC in Leicester

[Grimes]

accent ain't that bad.

[Tony Starks]

I never said MCs from outa LDN arent good but any half decent mc has the whole of their ends complaining and bitchin bout how they dont get recognition...the cream always rises imo

[Matchstick]

The boy has got bars (and that is out of the few I could make out), bottom line is he needs to work on his diction and delivery. I'd check out more though.

I like a few of the out of town emcees they usually sound hungry and remind me of the early days.

[ZDOT]

since wiley put that track up, bare people have jumped on the bandwagon, i said it a couple years ago, got a track from him on my page aswell 'coming in the grime' www.myspace.com/zdotproductions

[adidasgrandad]

since wiley put that track up, bare people have jumped on the bandwagon, i said it a couple years ago, got a track from him on my page aswell 'coming in the grime' www.myspace.com/zdotproductions

never knew about that one but its a good track

[Eric Cantona]

It was on some Mayhem mixtape they released few months back, it was alright

[Ari Gold]

i dont give a shit if wiley is promoting him, i didnt even know that when i made this thread.

i just clocked his tune on logans show and thought it was heavy. no bandwagon.

[adidasgrandad]

the new slayer mixtape is alright too.

[ZDOT]

never knew about that one but its a good track

Safe g

[Arkan]

If these MC's played in london, would people go see them?

Like a few of them playing at dirty canvas or summin, would people give a shit?

lol most probably not

[Ari Gold]

i dont think people would go to see THEM, but if they were added to lineup, i dont think it would deter people or ruin the night. dirty canvas/chocoblock/etcetc book some disgraceful acts. theyd probly move quite a lot of cds if he did what he does on this tune on stage at a dirty canvas.

he does hype up a crowd, ive booked him myself and seen him do it......but that was for a mainly manchester crowd.
Just wondering if he could get anywhere near the same kinda hype in london.
But ive heard stories of people just stoppin raving when a certain DJ or MC is on stage at things like chocoblock etc etc, i dunno if there is that amount of animosity against non-london MC's.

[Captain]

how come so many replies?

outside of london are shit

[Heckz]

hes ite still not that gd just good 4 som1 with a dodgy accent

[BananaMan]

Shifty is sick, alot of the mancester/northern peeps have been making big movements lately, and that will always be a good thing if grime is to be a UK sound

[SE15]

Not a big fan of shifty but he has got bars....and its a GOOD ting that Grime is in Manchester,Birmingham and everywhere round the UK...it aint just a london ting.

I don't get what people are seeing in Shifty atm? Maybe i will in time? He need's to work on this small bit of hype he's getting and start making people see why there is hype.

[BananaMan]

He murked the off the radar beat.

[Grant]

tbh i cant rate shifty anything more than swag. His "Big In The Game" song or w.e it was called with that young kid was embarasing impo.

[Joe]

some guys>>>

[Sheff.Steel]

Was shiftys off the radar a free DL?

[Trapstar]

shifty sounds alright but to me he sounds like a mc called strategy from northwest.

[Nine Bar]

How can a manny accent sound like a londoner...

Most DJ's are only part time Grime, all on Bassline/Dubstep.
