I'm a big fan of hip hop generally and grime when it's not all shrieking like that, but I found myself muttering 'what a racket'. I'll be 40 in September. This is the state of me. Muttering about music I don't understand. How did it come to this? I genuinely know more about grime than I do about indie landfill as I live in south London and have a 13 year old boy. I am also an expert in shit memes and rubbish youtube songs. I am hoping for something restful on the acoustic Sunday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not always a guarantee who'll perform but given the slot I'd imagine Skepta and Wiley will D Double E isn't in BBK. Anyway, they'll be really good and they'll attract a big crowd.

Throwaway music but it was alright. Didn't help my old man syndrome, though. I spent 3m37s muttering "Too Many MEN". I get the impression this lot would be OK to listen to on record, but would be insufferable (to my ears) live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you throw loads of grime artists on a stage shouting at people desperate to fit in it'll succeed. The comments like this, hahahaha. So ignorant and boring. Poor really. God forbid a genre of music finally be celebrated by the mainstream media and have the recognition it deserves. Like the tunes or not, when people talk about it like this, it is just so off the mark, its embarrassing.

My 14 year old daughter, white all girls grammar school kid, is all about the grime right now. I cant abide most of it, but that's a good thing, right? I should hate what she likes for not being 'proper' music Fair play to the festival for giving it a platform. Lets see how it goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nu-Rave was invented by bored music journalists seeing connections in a handful of albums over a couple of years, whereas Grime is a genuine musical movement that predates Nu-Rave by several years. I mean, It's already 14 years since Boy in da Corner won the Mercury. It's not exactly a flash in the pan at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Although grime's not generally my thing (although I enjoyed Skepta last year), I think it's great the genre is represented in a high profile slot at the festival, particularly as it's a movement that originated in the UK and that's something to celebrate. I recall people saying the same about Skrillex in 2014 and that turned out to be a great show. I'm all for more risks being taken by the festival in the headline slots. Whether you like it or not, that BBK show is going to be one of the most talked about sets over the whole weekend for all the right reasons. I wouldn't be surprised if the BBC viewing figures peak when it's shown too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I've heard this music it's been from someone's tinny phone speaker and they are dressed in all the get up. Don't get me wrong I ain't no old fuddy duddy who is against new popular culture I just detest this music. Give me some decent hip hop without all the shouting any day of the week. Mc's from my old drum n bass tape packs didn't shout as much as they do. For me it's all about the art of delivery and rapping not being shouted at for an hour.

CHRLY Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 So I don't really know much about how BBK works, is it likely Skepta will be there and if so will they be doing songs of his? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisH Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 I'm glad there's a bit of grime representation at the festival - but rather being at the forefront of current music for the festival... isn't it a bit like the awards shows that are suddenly cramming it in now? i.e. too little, too late... a bit past it's prime?

plaskins Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 That's two confirmed headliners for Sunday that I have no interest in. Not to worry, I do like Metronomy & plenty more to be confirmed. Surprised that BBK are considered headliner worthy? One less clash to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
