Emo Grime

[Carter]

All this talk about Devlin's music being emotional is pissing me off......can't anyone else hear the total lack of emotion in this guys "deep songs".....when it comes to Grime the only song I've heard with emotion is Durrty Goodz Letter To Titch!

so allow it.......just allow it:D

[Tony Starks]

its probably just devz voice that dosent sound sincere but he sounds like he genuinely has alot on his mind imo.

dot rotten get out of the hood>>>>>>>>>>>>> other emotional grime

[Hij]

Take Me Away and Community Outcast did pretty good.

[Carter]

Take Me Away and Community Outcast did pretty good.

sounded forced to me like man had a check list:

Dip Set Track.......check
Deep Track..........check

[Carter]

Take Me Away and Community Outcast did pretty good.

and the beats were poor

[Hij]

and the beats were poor
Regardless, they conjured up emotion :D

hij,maybe you should put up a notice for the new rule

dont say grime is dieing or dead or anything bad abouit grime because your thread WILL get locked.

[Danny Trejo]

Gun bars >> mum bars

[Jay]

Gotta say i hated both the tracks that were played on Logan last night.

Yeah maybe I should.

Maybe also people starting threads about an apparant Bassline track on Logan's show could stop running around in panic like he dropped a bomb on the scene. You know Logan's position on Grime, one bassline track showcasing a grime artist isn't going to kill it, so stop panicking.

'First it starts with 1, then 2, then maybe 3-4 bassline songs on the show'

:laugh: - Er, no.

Nah it thats how it starts Hij, but Im passed caring now!! lol

**Dances to Bassline**

You think it's that unlikely? I mean this time last week who would have guessed he'd play one? Is this gonna locked now? Apologies.

[Hij]

Internet culture causes panic and over reaction.

[Danny Trejo]

logan listening to carter's urban theory lol

[Hij]

Logans a fall guy for sayin 100%.

But is the average joe bloggs going to give a shit really? Its well over analysed.

[TRU_G]

can't anyone else hear the total lack of emotion in this guys "deep songs".....


I wouldn't say there is a lack of emotion, the sombre spitting ties in well with the sombre tone of the tunes he does

If he spat 'Community Outcast' bars about some old man falling in the mud the way Ghetto spits 'I'm Ghetts' he would sound like more of a plum

And it is only on them deep tunes he sounds all sad (or as you say 'like a robot')

Listen to Dealers and he spits some aggressive bars in a completely different way to 'Community Outcast'

Also, am I the only one (aside the haters) who thought 'Take Me Away' was poo? One of my least favourite tracks on the CD

Stakes Are Raised>>>>Take Me Away

[Eric Cantona]

Did Logan play a bassline track?

I locked off when Generals started spitting.

[Quality Control]

it's cos he's so monotonous, and i find it difficult to give a shit about his nan

i quite liked the beat on the first tune though (second tune was dripping with whack juice)

and who cares about the bassline track.....it was just for the MC's to spit over, and it sounded good with DEE and Foots spraying over it

[Carter]

logan listening to carter's urban theory lol

Carter has spoken..........everybody now board the bandwagon:D

[Hij]

Carter has spoken..........everybody now board the bandwagon:D
It will cost £1 payable to GrimeForum Projects and Carter Enterprises to board.

[G-Rhyme]

Logan played garage/bassline before, I remember him playing a Todd Edwards tune when Skepta was there and another one with Ghetto.

It's not like he is going to turn his show into a bassline show, Logan is full on grime more than 99% of the scene.

It's one instrumental, get over it.

[pcollins]

theer was some gay shit going on in the background of this song, like some proper cheesy stuff.. lyrics were pretty good, better than the community outcast stuff definate;y, just cut the cheese sound effects.

[GrimmyGrimGrim]

what was the forbidden bassline track in question?

[Justin Credible]

LMAO @ some of the replies.

was only playing

Devs is decent but he sounds better on sets than on tracks right now

Maybe he will chnage that on bud sweat and beers

[adidasgrandad]

i havent actually heard devs on any sets other than f radio.

hes a sick sprayer though

[Clive Eboue]

Real talk.

He needs grimier production, he fucks up the sets i've heard him on. But he has some basic gay beats for his mixtape's. A few of the tracks for Art of Rolling sound different though so should be a lot.

[adidasgrandad]

that 'as time goes by' tune would be good if it wasnt for that bullshit he was talking. its hip hop and he aint got the voice to do them deeper tracks but his bars let him pull it off more time.

[Clive Eboue]

You fly pigeons???

Why neg rep me?

Chieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeef.

[Quality Control]

You fly pigeons???

i just gave you a green square, now you're half as good as me

[Certain]

lol thanks for the rep qc

[Aaron]

This is how I described Grime to my Geography teacher compared to stuff "like greenday" as he put it.
Greenday: You cut yourself.
Grime: You cut other people.
They will never mix.

[critic of musical arts]

its a matter of taste we have grime artists that do different things. lol at calling it emo grime.

[pcollins]

some of bidc was pretty emo..

[bailey_187]

lol @ never far from you being bassline

[Blimey]

I dont mind Devlin in small doses, but listening to Tales from the Crypt all the way through is depressing, actually fucks up your day lol. He's always big as a feature though, especially on Hero.

[Jimmy Darmody]

I swear 80% of Devlin's tunes are on swag beats.

his barz r strong but the beats r normally poor

[Eric Cantona]

People on the interent change there tune alot.

[R.dot.Tubbs]

I take it Devs is in the BNP then...

[Hij]

People on the interent change there tune alot.
Al3x knows...

[Jay05]

u got to remember Devs first cd was when he was classed as a younger

its been 2 years now and he is seen as a bigger artists. Therefore his next cd shud be better

[Danny Trejo]

I have never liked Devlin.
I do remember someone from here comparing him to Tupac though.

i rate devlins music highly this is a bandwagon i aint jumping on.

co sign, always said Devs is big and still think he is.
I like Community Outkast and most of his material. When his next shit drops the bandwagon will be changing direction again.

[slu-wasteguy]

devlin april showers doe>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>________
dont care what you say about him now but that tune even doe its blooody old as hell and never got a mixdown to save the tunes life the tunes a lot!

[Phil]

devlin>>>>_____ nearly all of the scene

[MedellinManDem]

Al3x knows...

Knows what, that grime fans are human like everyone else?

[Clive Eboue]

Both his releases are guna be cold trust me. The only whinge I can have about him is that a lot of the times his beats are shit. But his bars are effed. He'll be top 3 selected when his stuff drops...

[adidasgrandad]

lol at people switching. hes a sick sprayer and the beats he gets from shotz are sick why do people say hes boring?

i still rate devlin highly but..
Griminal has better tunes in his back catalogue than Devs imo
Griminal has fucked up much more sets than devs has aswell.
If the mainstream were still interested in real grime, griminal would have a big future but i cant see him doing any timmy mallet related promotions so.....

Griminal has absolutely no mainstream appeal what so ever lol. His interview's are actually cringeworthy, wouldn't be a good look for the scene!

But yeah on sets he fucks them up 'cos he is puuure hype. When it comes down to it though Devz will produce a much better mixtape/album every time.

have u seen interviews with 'popular' indie bands...their not exactly particularly intersting e.g Arctic monkeys but its the music that should count.

thats why chippy is sooo far ahead of grim cos hes got his (rather large) boat everywhere!

anyway devlins chav tales and ramblings dosent neccesarily make him a deeper artist....he reminds me of when i write an essay and i replace words with more intellectual sounding words....(Grime) music dosent work like that

lol.

Don't get me started on them noncey indie bands please... but the fans seem to appreciate their gayness, so it works for them lol.

Na some of Devz tunes are deeper and I think it's good to have a BIT of versitility on your CD 'cos it gets boring having the same kind of tune on repeat. As long as he doesn't make a whole mixtape about old men falling in mud and illegal immigrants depriving his family of work then I ain't guna complain!

[Quality Control]

griminal and devz are two different breeds of emcees at the end of the day

griminal is a renaissance grime MC made for duppying raves and sets while devlin is one of the new breed emcees who are all about releasing music and trying to be "artists"

[GrimePays]

"they treat illegal immigrants better than me or you"

you know devlins one of them in the pub .... "fack oofff sooon, get theem oouut, bunch a cunts takin our jobs"

on topic: devlin depresses me

[adidasgrandad]

why does devlin depress you?


devlin over bazooka on PH2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
hype
devlin on f radio 5 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
hype

he can do hype but just because he doesnt go to many sets and get bare wheels people think he isnt hype.

My thoughts exactly.

[Anonymous]

Also I must add Little Nasty >>> Ice Kid >>> Griminal >>> Any other "younger"

[Young Sen]

Devlin is overly deep, he writes about his life, how he feel's about thing's and put's his emotions into his song's. How else could he depress you?
When he's on set or stage he fucks it up.
Griminal is nang and has time on his hands but right now he can only hype a dance.

[LNL]

why does devlin depress you?

his voice
the things he spits about
the beats he chooses to do it over

if i want to listen to emotional music i'd listen to a different genre to grime tbh

[Quite a character]

Griminal >>>>>>>>> Devlin

i'd rather listen to griminal but he's no way better as an artist. hes a rave mc.

[Jay05]

have u seen interviews with 'popular' indie bands...their not exactly particularly intersting e.g Arctic monkeys but its the music that should count.

true stories

Also showering down a rave or radio does translate into sales, just wont be a huge amount and will prob not break mainstream either

Tempz cud ship a decent amount of units if he released a cd

[Jae Dave]

emo grime...lol -- i wouldnt call it that, theres nuttin' wrong with gettin' on a level sometimes!
