Skinner's Effect on the Music

[Hij]

Giggs thread had me thinking of bangers like

uXi38w4aQeo

Used to blaze this back in the day.

[fuk off]

Skinner's first 2 albums were classics and the grime rmx's were always alot fair play for bringin guys through even if everythin after that was swag
Still got respect for him

[LC1]

lol how did i know someone was about to make a thread like this......... he is such a sick producer.

his impact on grime has been good imo. remixes. has attempted to push skepta, trim, giggs, (making tunes with them etc) into the limelight and definately got tinchy and kano alot of publicity in the mainstream with the fit but you know it remix which was sick.

but for me this tune is the one plus relatively unknown. the bassline>>>>

Whats that 1 old grime tune.

It was a remix on the flip of the streets vinyl.

had a vox clip of skinner saying " Tune's Heavy " before the drop.

Sounded like a TNT, transmission type tune.

The music had an affect on Mike Skinner, not the other way around. You come out claiming The Streets so i guess you need some street acts on your tunes. Sure the guys featured get some shine for a bit but who got signed??? Demon, Trim, Skepta, Bruza or Professor Green and Example! He just used grime to stay relevant and Giggs is the in ting with the youts at the moment, so he will use him too! Same trick Plan B and Lady Sovereign used

[Grimes]

[Nine Bar]

Fit but you know it rmx, swear that was one of the 1st commerical tunes kano + tinch were on. Get out my house rmx

[Danny Trejo]

Mike Skinner's last album bombed and 3/4 of his audience deserted him to watch Dizzee the other day. Isn't much these days.

On one of the DVDs, I think Risky Roadz, he said that 'the streets' was never intentioned to mean that; the roads - he was referring to the streets of suburbia or something like that.

get out my house was the best rmx ( i swear that shit inspired bell them slags )

I liked him back in the day though. Garage as well.

[LayardBear]

I'm undecided, on one hand Mike Skinner sounds shit and I hate his voice, the other his first album is classic and put interest back into UK music. His beats are awesome though, no complaints- he should do more work as producer.

pisshead vs the pot head

[LC1]

mate you can't just say he leeched off the scene when he has thousands at every show and festivals... touring around the world?? No 1's, Platinum selling albums etc.

if you have that why would you look to tap into a market which notoriously doesn't sell........ why not make a tune with kano when he could of gone out and done one with bloc party for example...... he loved the grime sound and dipped his finger into it. i'm not sayin he has a genuine pasion to help these guys but he definately wanted to make tunes with them and push them along.

[chickenkormapilauandnaan]

Flipping it, this is the best remix of skinners tunes:

N6E7TLWLzoc

Gotta cold feel to it

['nuum general]

dun kno, wen I hear dat beat dun kno why but gets me thinkin deep bout shit

[Lemon]

Skinner done alot for UK rap/hip hop/grime, and just the general acceptance of a UK person spitting on a beat.

In the time of So Solid and then Skinner etc, they all pushed stuff forwards on a commercial level to where it is today IMO.

[fedfaced]

blinded by the lights was the best thing he done for the scene when meridian duppied it

hPZu4Lzf82I

would love to see these guys go over tht dubstep remix of it by nero


s7Y9i_AXVpc

[blah]

Blinded by the lights was such a tune
It's weird I listened to it about 10 times tonight before I saw this thread
And not forgetting
Dry you eyes mate, but still that's not grime lol
Just appreciate good music

[Channel_E-D]

The tune in the first post is deep, remember that one

[SHOKK]

The Streets must be the most sucessful hip hop act from the UK. I love Original Pirate Material but I think he fell off from there.

Funny when people say they're The Streets biggest fans, "They're so good".

Fair enough if they say they are The Streets biggest fan, because then they are obviously not. But if its just a standard ting like they mention it, its a minor because its a common simple mistake

[JWoulf]

On a international level The streets rekindled the interest in urban uk music. You never know, but it might be true that no streets - no international sucess for dizzee - no overseas sales for kano - less money in grime - less grime. But you never know.

[chickenkormapilauandnaan]

what bout this one?

[Lex]

I never heard alot of their Grime remixes like that track with Roll Deep, i'm slacking.

[S.Dubz]

more exposure for UK's underground scene.

can't imagine it being much of an effect he had.

[SoMuchBetter]

Skinners deep, all da grime remixes from fit but you know it to prangin out are fucked, es mainstream n he still did them
