yup - it's amazing - they're totally geeked out but really enthusiastic and know their stuff. really worth the listen provided you have 2 and a half hours to spare... it's a follow up to a film they did called Tape Crackers, which is the same format but covering hardcore & jungle: http://www.rolloja...

ez been a while came to pimp this - "A Brief History of Grime Tapes with Michael Finch and Rollo Jackson" - essential listening for the grime heads, two enthusiastic fans going back through the early days of grime by playing and discussing 16 important tunes/moments: http://www.thewire.co.uk/article...

Wiley's putting out a shit ton (10 zip files worth) of unreleased tracks today to celebrate him leaving yet another label and dumping/threatening to kill yet another manager... will put the re-ups here as i find them, the OG links are dying as soon as he puts them up: zip 1 http://www.megaupload.com...

exactly. it's just the kind of mediocre uk hip-hop i was really hoping he wouldn't go back to making. pah.

yeah super, super, super gay

just kinda glad Wiley finally got his number 1 though

Roll Deep are number 1 in the UK charts and Dizzee has made a prettttttttttty prettttttttttttttttttttttttty alright grime-ish track with Chase & Status of all fucking people. <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/fl...

James Blake. Really on and off for me ("air and lack thereof" was a terrible debut imo) but when he gets it right he really REALLY gets it right. obviously everyone in this thread already knows the Untold remix is amazing so here's some other bits. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie...

why would you pay a guest fee for someone and then a) autotune the shit out of their already great voice and b) completely bury them in the mix so you can barely hear them #justsayin

yup, loving it. hardcore difficulty is DOPE. hard as nails though, grinding especially - have a feeling career mode is gonna be pretty infuriating this time around.

hmm for some reason the bass mix of colder is in there twice instead of the getalong gang instrumental. tpp will not be pleased. will try and hunt down that track...

edit: whoa that arkist tune is dope!!!

"if you want me" finally out today. been waiting for it to come out for an age, never felt "u cheated" much but this tune absolutely slays me: <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uVVKh0faaYw&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value=...

that journo is a TWAT (ooooooooooh wooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww) but this looks dooooooooope...

was definitely SUPPOSED to happen at some point but yeah, i've heard it's been quietly dropped. i question what breakage actually did on this track aside from clean it up a little, but hey, it's quite nice: <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oDwpluZs...

yeah the album is dope, not immediately like the last one/like her arse but really gets in your head after a few listens

if you'd told me a few years ago that my favourite album of the first part of 2010 would be badu I'd probably have spat in your eye

ho hum
