What are your general thoughts on him, i mean i know what he has done and RESPECT him for starting what we now call 'grime'. Do you think when it comes to talking about him being succesful in the music industry do we refer more to watch he created rather than wealth and fame.
I personally think he is a shit lyricist and his bars gt to repitative, nonetheless i still RESPECT HIM.
Discuss?
i think hes sick normally makes good songs and hes sick on sets aswell
Wiley is never lyrically shit. He went through a poor lyric writing phase a couple years back but he's on point now. Lyrics get me on a hype and he's made so many sick beats. Really looking forward to his future releases.
Wiley came from a garage scene, where lyricism didn't count for much it was more about how hype you could get a crowd...wileys lyrics have never been about content but u take devlin and wiley to a rave and wiley will fuck it up everytime...as for him being sucessful, in 30 years he will still be seen as the founder of grime and dizzee and kano will be 4gotten...wiley may not be a rolling in it like dizzee but he stayed true to his music and kept his pride and if thats more important to him then fair play.
GOAT grime artist
Just think he cant write a song, he can write BARS but his album and mixtapes lack structured material. I see other artists that can do this.
Wiley >>>>>>>______
when the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea
hes improved lyrically over the last 6 months with more on point lyrics. still chats same old nonsence sometimes
not consistent enough though. war seems to bring the best out of him (e.g movement v wiley 2006) but seems to have left that for now.
comes with a few good beats on his releases every now and then still.
also, wiley in a rave >>>>>>
and wiley in a clash >>>>>>
Wiley killed off The Movement in that Nightbus track.

Agree 100% with The Godfather.
Wiley = Grime
Wiley's = The best rave MC
He's just crap at writing good songs IMO
"Trust me London, about Real Deep. Where you going with Real Deep? You know what yeah can I say one thing London? I wanna say one thing. Roll Deep - Real Deep. Just check that out, check that out. Did he even try hard to start a new crew and start a new name? I know I'm carrying going on yeah but I'm not having it blud, I'm not having it. Hold tight Jamakabi, I'm not having it, I'm slewing you I said that."
When Wiley is forced to do something good, he can. But sometimes he gets a bit complaisant.
I do prefer listening to old Wiley stuff to newer Wiley stuff though, like the Conflict or old Slimzee/Dizzee/Wiley sets.
wiley is a merkers
