You gave me nothing to discuss OP

@op what role did he play in the genre of Grime what’s his most notable song/songs post em

k i just thought it interesting a whole 2 years b4 history has repeated itself with kanye

he brought through everyone dizzee skepta jme tinchy styder lil wayne mixtape like work ethic literally the godfather of the genre

his song eskimo is the first grime song and he helped put on OGs like dizzee, skepta, and kano amongst others

his probably top 3/5 grime artists of all time

legend in his genre

wiley is crazy he’s been buggin for years even tho musically he’s important in the uk

thanks op you reminded me i need to relisten to godfather

He pretty much birthed grime through his sound Eski. Man's weird but he has had a huge impact on urban UK music

Him, pay as you go, roll deep, (member of both), Dizzee, Kano, Newham Gens, Ghetts, Durrty Goodz, lethal b all shaped early grime/UK hip-hop in general

He started the Eskibeat sound which was THE sound of early grime

Literally put everyone on

Innovated the genre and drove it to brief popularity

He’s a dumbass but he’s a certified legend

They took that off streaming like 2 years ago

Label issues I think I can’t remember

One of his best late career albums for sure tho

Those early years of grime were truly special

It is truly my favorite sound ever

Nothing matches this s***. 9:00-14;00 in particular

Wish Morgan Wallen got this treatment

F*** some of this, listening back was ahead of its time lol, D double such a legend had a smoke with him a few years back, cool guy

what is op tryna prove?

Yeah he followed it up with an album called this

The D. W. Griffith of Grime
