Grime: London's latest music export

It's definitely not hip-hop.
Subscribe to our channel! goo.gl/0bsAjO
For many, grime is an enigmatic genre of music. Its genesis at the crosspoint of dub, uk garage, dancehall, and hip-hop make defining the sound less than straightforward. But a recent wave of promotion positions Grime to make a splash in pockets of global culture moving forward.
But to understand how grime overcame an initially sour reputation on its way to international stardom, you have to go back to the early 2000’s.

    Garage comes from hip-hop.... Rapping comes from hip-hop... Grime probably wouldn't exist if hip-hop didn't exist. But the people who claim they are stealing from their culture are still dumb anyways. By there logic only new york should be able to make hip-hop and all other cities in the us that do are stealing from them.

    To make it clear: Grime is a standalone genre, which developed primarily from Garage and Jungle music. It is not a subgenre of hip hop or anything else. Listen to Grime tracks (without vocals) and it's demonstrably a separate genre.

    To everyone that keeps saying that Grime and Hip Hop are the same, basically the two are distant relatives. The principle of both genres is the same, RAP, rhythm assisted poetry. But to try and compare them and say that they are the same just isn't correct. They come from different family trees. Grime originated from UK Garage, jungle and electronic music. Something that Hip Hop is rarely, if ever, associated with. Grime beats are also made from scratch most of the time, whereas Hip Hop is more sample based and uses jazzy, rock and roll and other types of instrumentation.

    I love this. I must say the thing that stunts Americans from wanting to listen to Grime is the fact they believe it's not the "main Hip-Hop" but instead a subcategory. Grime is a different genre as you see in the description and culture. This is the most raw form rap and lyrical attribute while keeping its authenticity (not copying America's style of rap). I can say, as a Hip-Hop fan, grime is greatly outdoing Hip-Hop on the aspect of rap ironically. Grime artist can do what Americans do but Americans cannot do what Grime Artists do, with no fault to them, they never rapped on such a hectic beat and BPM though. Overall, grime is the epitome of London behind the tourist attractions and old buildings. However, the rest of the UK are now finding their sound and soon, America is going to have to get used to the London vernacular. Hope this explained more.

Anyway, Vox is a fairly large media company, with different branches focussing on different things. Just because one team were producing this video, doesn't mean no-one else is bringing anything together about Qatar.

    I think there’s a huge misunderstanding between what bias actually is in politics and what the news is supposed to do. For a lot of people and media outlets alike the assumed objective of any news piece should be to show both sides when in reality it should be about getting to and explaining the truth pf a subject. If group A says their plan will raise 5% and group B says that group A will actually raise taxes by 11% the job of a reporter shouldn’t be “Group A says this and group B says that, you decide who’s right” it should be to examine the issue as closely as possible and highlight empirical data and back up their conclusions with well researched evidence and political theory. This is something Vox typically does expertly and if their reporting seems to come off as having a bias for one particular side of an argument it’s probably safe to say that the actual evidence points in that direction as well- because typically speaking the answer isn’t usually somewhere smack dab in the middle like you might think.
