It's not the album to take grime mainstream. It's the album by someone who used to make grime, moving to the mainstream, to make mainstream music.

You saying JME aint grime?

JME is a person. You cannot say JME is grime, as you cannot say JME isn't grime. JME makes music. Some of his music is grime. Some of it is not. From what's been shown so far, Famous? will not be grime.

Naa I'm sure I read "it's the album to bring Grime to the mainstream."

Not saying that's what you said but other people have said this. But still I have to disagree with your post about 'to make mainstream music'. I've heard a few tracks from the album and it's still Grime, only difference is that it's not Forward type Grime.

Name some JME music that aint grime then please.

JME - Famous? has 3 confirmed tracks, Go On My Own, Show & Standard and all are grime, or has The Movement completly changed everyone's view of grime now?

You know what the main problem is though? There isn't a definition for grime. So one track might be grime, and another, that sounds completely different. It's kinda weird.

And whoever wrote that quote, is seriously disillusioned. IF ... JME went on popworld and shit with tracks off the CD, I would put money on him not saying the word "grime" throughout an entire interview.

Depends. If any of those tracks enter the charts at a decent position, they will, by definition, become pop music.

**Eric Cantona** · 15th March '08, 11:12 PM

So was Pow pop music becasue it went into the charts at an decent?

NO!

If any of these tracks did enter the charts which i highly doubt they will, it would be a grime song in the charts.

Fair enough Pow & any tracks made these days in grime are not the same but you cant say its not grime becasue it went into the chart.

Of course it was, by definition. Dictionary.com is you. Pop music = popular music.

I think they will enter the charts. JME is going the same way as Sway except has more potential to make money.

It can be grime AND pop. In theory it'd probably be pop grime.

JME has the oppurtunity to go fully mainstream, he has an extremely wide and diverse fan base. The guy is smart and will more than likely make a lot of money from this album, it probably wont be to a lot of grime fans tastes because a lot of it will be completely different to how he was a few years ago. He has changed his sound over the years to fit more into the mainstream.

Exactly. But is it still grime by classification, as that seems to be the only thing people care about?

**Omni** · 15th March '08, 11:24 PM

Good tune. Nothing hugely special but it's good. And these JME tunes are grime, just not as dutty as the other cd's, but I'm sure their will be some very grimey stuff on Famous?

Yeah Pop music is short for popular music but I don't think that it means that literally anymore, Pop is just the name of the genre now. For example, there are Pop tunes that arn't popular because they're doodoo.

But I think what your saying is if the tracks entered the charts high, it would be considered by some "pop music" which yeah then I agree with you but disagree with them. Oh yeah and I think he would mention Grime a lot that's all he talks about in interviews lol like in the MTV About To Blow (no homo) feature.

Pop isnt really a genre though, it's just watered down versions of other genres. True you get one or two underground genres breaking through for a short bit of fame, but that never lasts long before the big companys come in and completely strip it down of what made it so different to generic pop.

f@cking sick!

**Pred** · 16th March '08, 12:08 AM

What's Spice Girls and all them other boy/girl groups' genre called then Breathe?

People will jump off of the 'JME is shit' bandwagon now that he's bringing out the stuff he undoubtedly saved for the album, which is what I clocked ages ago.

I don't like the chorus to Show. Singing doesn't suit the content of it.

BTW you seen Sunjay's myspace comments? All from either JME & his mates within BBK and Grime or JME's myspace gash. They play Pro Evo apparently...best mates with #1 fan. LOL
