  Grime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grime is a genre of urban music which first emerged in London in the early 2000s, primarily a development of UK garage and electronic music.
Grime is typified by sparse and minimalist 2step breakbeats (generally around 140 beats per minute), an aggressive and fast (often double-speed) style of rapping (sometimes referred to as "spitting"), futuristic electronic elements, and dark, guttural, growling bass lines.
Grime is sometimes associated with dubstep, a similar but largely instrumental genre which also evolved from the early 2000s UK garage scene.

 Pitchfork Feature: The Month In: Grime/Dubstep
Within grime’s rich vein of artists and narratives, it might be easy to be drawn in and to overestimate its reach.
Grime on the whole is angry, abrasive, and sonically extreme-- which is both its appeal and its Achilles heel.
Sure on one level the grime narratives suggest the sound is the voice of the most marginalized parts of British society, but on a day-to-day basis it’s also a dense concentration of aggressive alpha males.

 Montreal Mirror : Clubland '05 : Grime Time
For many people outside of the U.K., awareness of grime began with the arrival of 20-year-old East London boy Dizzee Rascal (who plays Club Soda this week), but for thousands of devotees back in England, Dizzee was just the latest, most prominent manifestation of something that had been growing for ages.
Although grime was born out of the streets of East London, you can trace the sounds of hundreds of crews and individual artists to all corners of that city, while it slowly creeps into the rest of the country.
Grime is perhaps the only genre of music where listening to 14-year-old kids rattling on about gunplay in their area over Playstation beats can be as entertaining as an introspective twentysomething getting clever over alternating 16-bar spurts of well-polished gutter breaks.

Grime gigs attract crowds of fl youngsters who come as part of a crew or collective, and jump around with their hoods up, getting rowdy.
As grime is a genre that works best live, cancelling gigs means negative coverage, and even less of the positive press that comes from live reviews.

 Grime : The Survival Guide - Pop Playground - Stylus Magazine
I think it’s important to see that grime is, very often, a riff-based music, which sets it apart from hip-hop, jungle and dancehall, and perhaps reflects the influence of early 90’s UK and Belgian hardcore echoing down the London pirate sound.
Grime often has a fairly pornographical obsession with firearms, and “Cock Back” is perhaps the ultimate gun-man tune.
It’s grime distilled to its purest essence: the 808 handclaps which have been a grime staple since Youngstar’s “Pulse X” are stapled together into a bare-bones beat, with an ultra-minimal melody of string stabs laid over the top.

 Aquarius Records: Search Results for Keyword: Grime Rephlex
Grime is the new catch phrase for the scene/sound that spawned Dizzee Rascal, Wiley and a few others.
Grime is basically two-step garage (pronounced GARE-ij), a simple and repetetive offshoot of drum and bass, with fuzzy synths, buzzing basslines, and occasionally tongue twisting toasting.
The cuts on Grime 2 are simple and mesmerizing, head nodding and hypnotic, and fall somewhere between the extended rhythmic workouts of Muslimgauze, the simple, spartan techno of Kompakt, and the minimal house of Chain Reaction, all with a bit of a ragga vibe.

 Christ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Greek term is thought to derive from the Proto-Indo-European root of ghrei-, which in Germanic languages, such as English, mutated into gris- and grim-.
Hence the English words grisly, grim, grime, and grease, are thought to be cognate with Christ, though these terms came to have a negative connotation, where the Greek word had a positive connotation.
In French, the Greek term, in ordinary usage, mutated first to Cresme and then to Creme, due to the loss of certain 's' usages in French, which was loaned into English as Cream.

 New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock GR-GY
Grime were a French band similar to Ange, Mona Lisa, and the like, for the dramatic nature of their presentations, both vocally and musically, though I detect an additional influence from UK groups of the mid-seventies, including Greenslade and Genesis.
Grime was Didier Morando: drums, percussion, and vocals; Thierry Duval: keyboards, and lead vocals; Nick Vicente: bass, piano, and vocals (studio); Didier Duval: 6 and 12 string guitars, acoustic guitar, and vocals; Marc Nion: alto sax, flute, vocals, and sketches; and Michel Munier: bass (live).
Grime's music is an example of French progressive rock with a subtle blending of poetry, music, and theater.

 skykicking
If grime’s basic properties (radically syncopated, almost arrhythmic jabbing beats; crude-sounding basslines making raids on the mid-range; cheap and shrill sounding synth and string patterns, not to mention the massively increased role of the MC) were already well-established by the end of 2002, 2003 witnessed a period of recolonisation.
Like dancehall, grime has gone beyond most hip hop in attempting to incorporate these affectations at a more fundamental level of the groove, but whereas dancehall’s rendezvous with bhangra and the like is often surprisingly seamless, grime’s own rapprochement is fascinating for the very reason that the results have an intriguingly awkward angularity about them.
Luka just said on ILX that grime came into existence because MCs willed it to, and you can hear that on tunes like this, tunes which themselves are so obviously and consciously plugged into the science of rapping as much as the science of the groove.

Grime evolved in cultural isolation, but recently the links between grime and other scenes have been strengthening.
With grime MCs inspiring ever younger and more aggressive new recruits, "youngers" talking about "shanks" and "boring" in their very early teens, perhaps their own childhoods are the only places older grime MCs can retreat to find softer, more emotive sentiments?

 HIP-HOP REVIEW; If It's Grime, It Rhymes - New York Times
Grime is a booming London-based genre related to hip-hop -- the raw materials are jagged beats and rapid-fire rhymes.
Part of what makes grime so exciting (besides the wild, angular electronic beats and the tricky, meter-shifting rhymes) is the sense that even its stars are still trying to figure out how the music works.
British grime concerts often unfold like contests, with rhymers angling to settle scores and establish hierarchies, but this one was cheerful and slightly slack.

Actually, at nights like Sidewinder, the only thing likely to be shot are your eardrums, thanks to the thudding drum patterns indicative of grime or UK garage, as it was known in a past life of Ayia Napa-isms.
That said, where UK garage celebrated the excessive lifestyle of Moët and Prada, grime tends to be a grittier affair - a meeting of "ghetto minds" much more concerned with "keepin' it real" than "stuntin'".
Alternatively labelled grime, 8 bar, sub-low or eski, it has the kids mightily excited about the multifarious metaphor-spitting emcees whose rhymes weave around the darkly frenetic beats.

It may have stumbled slightly over what to call itself, but Grime, as it has begrudgingly become branded, is fast becoming recognized as one of the UK’s most musically innovative and creatively cutting-edge subcultures.
blasting from the airwaves, Grime is quickly threatening to surpass the genre from which it sprang.
The worry now, of course, is whether Grime will go the way of UKG and end up merging into the mainstream — its real roots lost to the corporate coin eager to rake in the cash rather than build and nurture.

The music usually called Grime, that made by the likes of Wiley, Dizzee Rascal and N.A.S.T.Y. crew, is strictly an East London thing, while the sound showcased here is associated with South London, even though it is not always produced there.
The East London Grime scene is constructed around MCs; they are a virtual presence even in its instrumental tracks, which have been designed and produced for use with vocals.
In contrast with Dizzee or Wiley's graffiti-dense riot of slanguage, Rephlex's take on Grime is neutron bomb-depopulated, scoured clean of verbal hurly burly—more Canary Wharf than Billingsgate fish market.
