Free Mixtapes - the future?
Griminal and No Lay have both released mixtapes for free download on their myspace and I was wondering if people thought this was a good move for other MCs in the future?
The Griminal one in particular was outstanding and the cover was better than a lot of others that you have to fork out cash for. I just think that moves like this are very big for artists and the scene in general. They create hype and by giving something for nothing, people will hopefully buy and show support when they do eventually release something.
I also know of at least one person who never liked Grime, downloaded Griminal's and have been playing it ever since.
That's two free releases in January alone, hopefully there'll be more in 2008.
Boy Better Post
I think overall it has to be a big thing, it means that people who may not know to much about grime can get free LEAGAL music to try out before they decide to go out and buy a CD, it also shows that the artists are dedicated to spreading the grime scene further by making hype as gk said.

That's good to hear about Griminal, I agree I think he deserves credit for putting it out for free - I don't know when he finally locked off the project but still, I suppose he doesn't have to put out anything for free so props

It Would Be Good As Leakers/Bootleggers Etc. Wouldnt Have A Place In The Whole Mixtape Thing But Grime Would Never Have 100% Free Mixtapes As They Are What Are Predominantly Making The Money Atm.

Promo or mixtape - iI reckon it had more and better quality tracks than a few mixtapes that I've paid for. And if the official 'mixtape' is bigger and better than this, it could well be one of the best Grime releases to date.
On that point, Al3x, you thought the quality was bad - do you mean quality of production/sound? The quality of the one I downloaded was very good. Surprisingly good in fact.

i wasnt feeling nolays still, beats were either poorly made,poor mixdown or the majority was hip hop.

it was a mixtape he said in rwd magazine that there was going to be two mixtapes not just bars vol.1 and 2

I think its the Promo to which i thought was Shit!
The mixtape gotta be better than this.
Its not Just Bars implies Griminal is deeper than what we have already heard/seen. The promo didnt deliver anything new or of a higher standard.

The Promo was massive.
I just wish I hadn't heard nearly all the tunes already.
Came From The Bottom To The Top
Thats what im sayin. Iv heard them all before...if not the beats the lyrics.
When an artist drops a mixtape i expect something fresh not recycled bars like soulfood 2!
wouldnt say it was massive, it was aight tho
Grime Forum Manager
If you hadn't heard the tunes before, it would have been massive- imo though
it's enuff to get me hype for his proper mixtape but i aint gonna be rinsin it apart from maybe a couple tunes a few months from now
