Anyone got his album I was just listenin to thatshit today, this dudes beatz are on sum otha shit tho, not how I thought a UK rappa would sound, but it waz str8

I think I have it on my computer, I'll try upload it tommorrow.

As far as Grime goes, I'm not much of a fan, however, I would be lying if I said I didn't catch myself enjoying quite a bit of his music.

Personally I think he's as shit as it comes. Weak-arse lyracist, i mean pathetic. He's far too commercial for my liking.

Ummm how is a "UK Rappa" spose to sound?

He's far too commercial

nAH.....


and a UK rappa usuallly has an accent and the beatz are on sum fuckin elecktro shit

^ Those aren't rappers, they are grime artists. They aren't in the same category as rappers. Well, they might claim they are but they are say, the Lil Jon of the UK rap scene.

As far as Kano goes, i agree with Chosen Gwan, Kano used to be good but turned out far too commercial. There are better UK artists e.g. Doc Brown, Klashnekoff, Foreign Beggers etc. But i'm not hating on Kano or anything, he's doing his thing for the UK...

Commercial???

LoL...Come On, He's Hardly A Major Sellin' Artist...

UK Hip-Hop Aint Big Enuff Yet 4 Anyone To Be 'Commercial'...

He's A Good Lyrisist Too..."I Don't Mean Jeans When I Run Up On Teams Wit' A Four Four Long"...

He's One Of The Few UK Artists That Could Make UKHH Big...

How could a grime artist make UK hip hop big???

Cos Hip-Hops More Than Just Rap Bruh...

Grime Is A Sub Category Of UKHH...

Besides He's Not Full Grime Anyhowz...

Grime aint rap man, I scorn any man who tries to claim otherwise... Different BpM's and an entirely different approach lyrically, the very reason grime and garage were created was to try and move away from standard hip hop into an independent genre. I ain't heard much of Kano as it happens, so I aint slaggin him, but Grime isn't rap bruv

nAH.....

I love the way yanks dont think they have any sort of accent, as if our language derived from theirs. Stupid cunts.

^^^Hahaha, tell it bruv

Lmfao haha, Kano isn't like full on grime though kinda somewhere in between HH and grime.

Truths been told lol.

Never Said Grime Was Rap...I Said Grime Was UKHH, And It Is A Genre Of UKHH Just Like Breakdancing & DJing Is...

I Hate Grime, But I Know Kano Aint All Grime...He Can Do Both, He Actually Makes Grime Bareable...

At Least You Can Hear His Words...

I guess you could argue grime is a SUB-genre of hip hop, kinda like crunk is, in that they're both shit.. As I say though I haven't heard anything of Kano that I know of, and if I have there's an obvious reason that I didn't pay attention.

I was flicking through channel U on Saturday night n it was all grime, what a steaming pile of dog shit man. It really is an embarassment

i usually agree with you dude, but thats just silly. the tempo of a track really doesn't define a genre. except for speed garage. but come one man, be a little bit open minded. its just like that dirty south shit. its still hip hop.
you can't exclude music because you don't like it. to me, if something has a beat, and has someone spitting lyrics over it... thats the essence of hip hop music right there. the reason why uk hip hip is kind of stagnating, especially commercially, is cos everytime someone comes with some new shit, like dizzy, the streets or kano (although he is much less progressive than the other 2) they get rejected by uk heads. but for some reason they sell records in a mainstream market while no one else does shit! don't worry i don't think they are patch on someone like klashy or lowkey, but that doesn't mean they are less of an artists.

Almost any track from any genre has a beat with lyrics over it... If the BpM and the lyrical style doesn't differentiate musical genres then what does? How would you seperate hard house MCing from hip hop if that were the case? It's a faster beat with lyrics being spat over, yet it's still classed in an entirely different genre to hip hop. As I said, I guess it is a branch of hip hop, but only in the same sense that happy fuckin hardcore is a branch of dance music, both bear little resemblance to the original art form.

In my opinion the only reason Dizzee and other artists like him sell is because they're tryna do something out of the ordinary, fair play to them and others like the Streets for being innovative but that alone doesn't make them good artists. I think the reason people like that are so well accepted in the mainstream is because the British public wants something to call their own, and are willing to overlook the fact that the music is actually piss water. I don't down Grime / Garage artists because they're not hip hop in the conventional sense, I down them because I think they are, for the most part, shit. I heard Salar (of Antiheroes) spit over a grime beat and the shit was ballistic, reason being he kept his lyrical content his flow and his multis as tight as ever. I tend to avoid grime like the plague based on what I've heard, because they have a fetish for repeating their name and shouting incoherently, that simply isn't rap and while it may be different to the art form inherited from the Americans, it's nowhere near as appealing to me

I agree 100%, Its Hard To Define A Genre But To Me Grime Is Just Aloada Retards Shouting An' Screaming Over A Beat Fulla Sirens An' Gunshots...

Don't Mean That It Aint Gonna Appeal...

Well that's the thing, you gotta look at who's buying the records over here, most I'd say aren't fans of conventional hip hop. They want something new and fresh, I'm all for that but if the music is shit then it ain't gunna appeal to me. An idea is one thing but putting it into practice in a way that will utilise it's full strengths is another.

For now Grime is just an idea with no solid basis for ever being an established genre of its own. If I start hearing grime that appeals to me in a musical sense then I'll apreciate it, but at the moment I think it has a lot more to do with the scene it represents

the onli gud songs tht i liked woz typical me and p's&q's still they wont great

Nobody Don't Dance No More is alright n 9 to 5 is ok.

i only like ...

p's & q's
signs in life (except for the shite hook)
how we livin

the rest of the album is shite ..

the mixtape 'beats and bars' is better tbh

Better but still bait.

nite nite, thats the only song of his ive heard lol, its ok

not tht bad but theres loads of better rappers out there, like k-sounds and klashnekoff

9-5 is a good song!

Hit up Klash... he aint got a 'Uk Accent'

:)

Kano can be good. I wouldn't say he was that grimey either.
