    Did you not see the garage and jungle parts either

    Why are you elevating hip hop to a higher role in the genres development when it’s well known the other two had significantly more to do with the formation of the sound

    Even if you don’t think they had more to do, even if they had equally as much then you insisting it’s a hip hop sub genre is still incorrect

    Grime and hip-hop have the same ancestor but had a different evolution over the course of the decades and thus are commonly considered different genres. Some American users acknowledge it, some don't.

    Note that UK drill and UK rap are different things than grime

    so the overall approximate argument is that hip hop and grime are two distinctly separate genres rather than one being a subset of the other...?

    ...how?

    UK rap is also older than grime, it just is a totally different lane of music

    ...how?

    Grime grew primarily out of dancehall, jungle, and UK Garage

    The beats, BPM, and styles of MCing are all fundamentally different

    Of course there’s influence but they have distinct histories, cultures, and sonic lineages

    Read Blackdown and Simon Reynolds essays on the hardcore continuum if you really want to dive into it

    Hate having to put this under the hip hop channel as grime isnt even a form of it

    dope song, but you don't have to be so snarky about your personal tastes lol

    ...how?

    UK evolution:
    Caribbean music (toasting from Jamaica) to dub, 50s, 60s, 70s
    Dub to electronic dub to breakbeat, hardcore breakbeat, 80s
    That to jungle, drum & bass, 80s, 90s
    Those to garage, 90s, 00s
    Garage to grime, 90s, 00s

    Every single of these genres has MCs. MCing didn't begin with hip-hop.

    There's a clear evolution from the 70s all the way to grime appearing in the late 90s early 00s. We posted a bunch of examples ITT.

    US evolution was different. It also began from Jamaican sound system culture but the MC became way more important in a way quicker time than in the UK, where the MCs were often just an afterthought until the late 90s, early 00s. Imagine hip-hop never turning away from turntables and breakbeats for 3 decades.

    Grime is an electronic genre. It has more emphasis on singles than albums, has more remixes and instrumentals, more emphasis on DJ playlists and such.

    The BPM are much higher, usually at least 140 BPM, and the flow is different.

    I live in the the US and have been listening to hip hop, grime, and jungle all my life lol. They’re the three types of music I’m the most passionate about. I’m not hating on hip hop when I make the arguments I am, I’m just trying to dispel ignorance

    I don't understand what you've been arguing itt tbh

    the grime historians itt already agreed with u that hip hop influenced grime but they don't agree with calling it a subgenre of hiphop since it's not even it's dominant influence (citing dub, dancehall, electronic music genres as playing more of a roll in grime's inception (if Im not mistaken))

    not only did the ktt grime historians come with bare facts, receipts and hard tracks: other credible sources also support what they're saying

    so what's the issue?
