Do you think to many youths (or adults) are on this music ting in LDN? I mean it all good if you got skill, but with the ever icreasing cost of living in LDN and sky-rockerting house prices do u think enough is enough? I mean theres to much supply and not enough demand!!

Well I wouldn't say there is not enough......well maybe with (good) singers. More live instrument players would do good in the scene, Adagio is big.

No. The best will always rise up and the more people to compete with, the better you'll be.

OK, I didn't read the question properly, I assumed from the title it would be there are too many people in Grime right now.Anyways.....
Most grime MCs don't make much money, it is a second job to most.

too many shit ones who dont realise they have no talent and not enough people with actual talent. everyone doing the music is the same as well, grime isnt too inclusive in terms of accepting different type of people as mcs.

Certain people (90%) need to realise that this will never be more than a hobby realistically.
To tie in with the most recent question -- it's all lies.
MCs lie about what they do and have done. They lie to themselves thinking they will make it as an MC with their lack of promotion, hard work, and creative content that makes them better than the average Joe.

I don't think all MCs lie though. I'm honest with my shit.
I try be creative and take things new places...
And yeah with or without money I'd do this and love it but like everyone else I'd wanna make a living from music eventually.

Yeah, 90% Lacey, not all, there are the ones that try and do different things with the music. Be proud to be one of the 10%! lol

i think nowadays in the myspace age where anyone can make a tune and get it heard there is alot of deluded, talentless people who really shouldnt be MCing and in a sense are flooding the scene with shit
i mean it's good that pretty much anyone can try out making their own music now, but once it becomes clear they have no future in music, they really need to fuck off and keep it to themselves
