If you assume the mixtape is 10 tracks long and you have 11 bonus tracks, this is the best release ever to come from grime.

lol u can't assume that, you've gotta take em all into account.

in my opinion Axiom>>>>>>>OG Season.

(no sends cos i like ur blog in general)

yeah man, not a bad review, there's some detail there

I have to object to some of the comments about littles and p-money being relative newcomers, and OGs have been in the pipeline for longer than some might think, but in the context of the general review that's minor really.

The comparison to Axiom was quite a nice idea as well, even if you do talk about 'what if' scenarios

No sendage btw - in all a decent review, props

yeah i know i was just relating it to Axiom, saying that those 10 tracks I picked rivalled Axiom, then you have the other 11 as a bonus.
cheers man appreciated

Yeah man i get what ur sayin do u reckon, if instead of goin for 20 tracks with some filler Artists put the best tracks on their mixtapes, say 9 -12, it would be accepted by grime fans?

Cos i reckon that'd b big but people would probly complain about what they're gettin for their money.

What were the feelings about Axiom being 9 tracks long? I cant even remember.
I've never heard anyone complain that 9 tracks + 1 bonus wasn't enough because the quality was so good.
Grime fans are just like any other fans, we just want good music.
Quality ____>>> Quantity.

People should definately look into doing 9-12 track Cds with consistent quality

I get what you mean when talking about it only have 10 tracks

Trouble is, everybody i spoken to has different favourite tracks off this CD

You know they say one mans trash is another mans treasure, so you could take some tracks off, but that would effect other peoples opinions of the CD

That proves how good the CD was Wiley's too hit and miss.

Axiom EP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Best of Tunnel Vision

14th March '08, 11:45 AM
Have to disagree with that

The only song off a Tunnel Vision that could be put on an album, without shame, is 'Marijuana' on 6 with Big Fris. Massive tune

I think Axiom is a tad overrated, but nevertheless it was easily one of the best releases of last year

Axiom >>>>> All Tunnel Visions combined

i agree, he needs to go to the studio with some better producers and put together a proper mixtape.

..he had bare backing from good producers but the beats were all shit, swear down they must have just chucked their throw-away beats his way instead of in the Recycle Bin..

..i think the only reason he didn't live up to the hype is his inability to compile a coherent CD.. if Breathe Of Fresh Ears was just full of beats he'd laced for freestyles it'd have been disgusting

..he had shitloads of support from bare respected figures in grime when his first mixcd dropped. unfortunately i just don't think he's a good "artist", but i still think we need him back in the scene as an MC showering down sets and freestyles..
