Erring too close to actual modern-day hip-hop now

*cracks knuckles*
Modern-day grime is the bastard son of rave or jungle MCing really, as opposed to hip hop MCing. Lyric delivery concerned with style as opposed to content.

However if you look at the history of hip hop you can see that ‘style rhyming’ is the oldest form of rapping anyway. As the art form grew, so did its so-called sophistication and thus ‘story rhymes’ and social commentary became introduced and eventually the norm. This starting to happen now with grime as it develops.

Personally I like nothing more than rhyming purely for the sake of nice-sounding words: I have no need of a lecture about the ‘ghetto’ from some 18-year-old twat.

Do you lecture the punters while you play your gramophone records?
Or do you pretend to be one of them?

I have nothing to add to this
Monty is easily the most well-versed man I've ever encountered in the ways of both hip and hop. But I do live in Norwich, where there are no black people. Not racist. Just true.
