Can't see anywhere anyone have told you this but Skepta and JME are full brothers. That's why they do a lot together

Skepta became the biggest grime artist in the UK predecessing stormzy. JME is his younger brother and also produced alot of the hits for Boy Better Know which is the collective they were a part of. He's a true OG in the game and well respected. He was offered an MBE in the UK which is given by the Queen but, he turned it down and got his cheiftancy in Nigeria 🇳🇬 instead. One of his latest is a feature on K-Trap ft Skepta - Warm remix and definitely deserves a reaction and an introduction to K-Trap.

Say it LOUD!! GRIME!! GRIME is like Hip Hop's cousin, comes from the soundsystem culture that came to England from the Carribean with the 'Windrush Generation' and had its own evolutionary journey, through Jungle/DnB and House & Garage music and mixed with British culture. That's why Grime MCs tend to rhyme in different pockets of the beat than Hip Hop artists, still has some of that Carribean cadence, like Jamaican Dancehall toasting. A GRIME SET, eg Ghetts ft Chip - Can't Run Out of Bars, consists of a DJ mixing through all kinds of electronic instrumentals, usually at 140 beats per minute but NOT exclusively, while GRIME MCs take turns spitting their lyrics one after the other. As one MC spits the other listens out for the changing 'riddim' (instrumental) and decides on which one of his lyrics will match. If an MC follows with a perfect lyric, perfect flow or catches the beat perfectly it's like sticking a landing in gymnastics, that's the ONLY time in GRIME where the music is stopped. The DJ 'wheels' back the vinyl just like in Reggae Dancehall and starts again. Another good example of GRIME culture is 'Stormzy Rinse Set'...

house inspired most of the edm music tbf, grime came after jungle and garage n they came from breakbeat . Mcs like Wiley started on pirate radio which was big in back in the day, they would spit to jungle/dnb on illegal radio stations in the London area.

Grime basically is the evolution of garage, which was an evolution of jungle. These genre's were created with a DJ mixing tracks n MCs on mics in clubs n on pirate radio stations. Very underground in the beginning slowly n rarely breaking into the mainstream. Very much like bashment n dancehall from yard 👊 As for the electronic sound that came about because very, very early grime tunes were literally made on an old PlayStation, music creater games.

Also yeah grime uses a lot of electronic sounds, 140bpm and heavy sub, which was born from a mix of old school dubstep(140bpm/sub heavy, same kick/snare pattern as grime) with elements of uk garage/jungle/dancehall/dub which were all big dance music genres in the 90s and still are today

You have to listen to JME, skepta general levy, dizzie on fire in the booth

This song is a crossover from early 2000s garage to the early grime. Has elements of both.

That thing you said about not knowing whether JME is joking or not is interesting because when brits say Americans don't get our humour - the irony/sarcasm, that's a perfect example. You're right, he's taking the piss a bit

Skepta is one of our goats. True pioneer. Was there at the start of grime. He recently featured on a song called Warm - K Trap ft Skepta. It’s Drill but it’s a banger

Skepta ended up going pretty far he's definetly one of the biggest stars to ever come from Grime. He has 2 bangers with ASAP Rocky also ( Praise The Lord and Ghost Ride ) Its not really grime but a good song to react to is Energy - Skepta & Wizkid Also Skepta and JME are brothers!

You have to do the All star remix of this as well. It`s a 50-70£ video, won video of the year that year in UK. Skepta That`s not Me All Star Remix.

Bro SKEPTA is the king of Grime 👑 some bangers - Pure Water , MAN , Corn on the Curb , Nasty , and all his freestyles

Skepta is a real legend 💯 one of the first to really take it international, I’m sure you heard Skepta & Asap Rocky - Praise the Lord, he produced the beat on that too 🔥

skepta is THE guy and has dropped good albums in recent years he’s a legend in uk

One of Skepta's more recent bangers would be Bullet From A Gun, definitely recommend

Skepta Interlude from Drake’s More Life album is amazing Also Skepta - It Ain’t Safe

The sidemen made a lot of GTA videos with JME like 6-8 yrs ago and they’re even in some of his music videos. They have a running joke that he is the 8th unofficial sideman. That’s why when they make music he’s one of the first to feature along with Randolph who was a big part of KSI’s development in music.

goat reactor reacting to the most iconic music of my city. love to see that. more JME please. either 96 Bars of Revenge or Intergrity. both crazy!

A$AP Rocky & Skepta - Praise The Lord is a banger with a great original sound, you gotta listen to it!

Would love to see you react to Pow 2011

Grime came from the garage scene in the late 90’s, (kinda like a house type genre) which is why it’s 140bpm. Grime, which blew up in 2003/4, was all about clashing each other who could get the most rewinds etc check out the old old lord of the mics in jammers basement (Kano vs Wiley) these are nearly 20 years old and may seem A bit dated but that era is where grime began. Check out the fuck radio sets with ghetts wretch etc and then the youngers edition with devlin griminal chip etc. grime heritage. Salut to you sir 🫡

Really enjoying the grime videos. Always cool to see someone react to these classics for the first time

If you want to listen to some newer skepta I would recommend bullet from a gun from the ignorance is bliss album 🔥

Crazy that this song is 10 years old. Also you've gotta hear the story of how Skepta came up with the beat while listening to Virgil Abloh DJing

Also Puffy and Skepta done Diddy Dirty Money ft. Skepta - Hello, Good Morning (Grime Remix).

An absolute must from Skepta's record label BBK (Boy Better Know) roster is.. Frisco - Red Card ft. Skepta, JME, Jammer, Shorty.

React to JME - 96 Fuckries, it's over a decade old but still slaps

The electronic style backing in grime is derived from UK Garage music. UKG was a really popular underground genre

My bro keep researching uk sound like this and it will all fall in place 4 u, just keep giving it a chance honestly.

That hair crispy af, looking fresh!!!!!

Lit like this is a hard tune 🔥🔥

Grime started from a uk music scene called garage which is a category of electric dance music all its own 🫶🏼

Grime comes from Jungle, which was a dance music movement in the UK in the late 90s/early 00s. It's really dark and aggressive. Dubstep comes from the same genre so you can see the relationship 👍

Kso reppin otaku underworld less gooo🦇🦇

the electronic sound comes from garage music which heavily inspired the grime skippy , electronic sound

Gives me serious flashbacks to festivals playing all the bangers that came out around this time lol. UK music really went up a notch over that few year period

garage music is what birthed grime it is also what gives it its electronic influence

The DJ is Maximum BBK, legend of the scene

Need to do more jme songs so underrated

Skepta definitely considered a legend here check out his shutdown in London live and you’ll see just how much

Grime came from different influences, but one of them is old school video games, so that electronic sound is from that.

This sound was started by a track called "Respect me" produced by DJ Wonder with Dizzee Rascal

The Evolution of Grime is interesting, check out some Jungle, Drum N' Bass, Garage tunes.

hahaha both skepta and JME always being comical

Skepta and ASAP Rocky!

Grime comes from early 2000s garage, 140bpm typically

Gotta watch JME - Integrity!

House and Garage were like cousins back in the 90's, they were different in many ways though. Grime was an evolution of Garage it was basically grimey Garage. To really understand the evolution of grime you need to jump in to some garage. Mark Ryder, So Solid are a couple to start with imo, there are a lot of artists i can list but i think those 2 will give you enough context to get you started. Other Genres that had a lot of influence were DnB and Jungle (DnB being an evolution of Jungle) which came from the Jamaican Soundsystem culture

I know you read the comments because I saw this idea in your last video but you should of done the ALLSTAR remix all the London bois

This is a classic Grime track. Definitely.

Newer Skepta Songs List To Vibe To: Energy w/ Wizkid Warm w/ K-Trap Red Card w/ Frisco and BBK Waze w/Chip and Young Adz Bullet from a Gun

If you wanna listen to some classic jme and skepta. Look for “jme and skepta 2006 freestyle” on KZfaq. Some insane bars from jme and all ‘boy better know’ bring top vibes

Some new joints that have visuals off his last EP Skepta-Nirvana Skepta-Eyes on me Both dope!!!

@KsoBigDipper love the reactions brother!! please react to some devlin Community Outcast would be a great place to start and his fire in the booths! Also you should react to JME and Tre Mission (a canadian grime artist) on Westwood!

This is a good representation of grime. If you like this beat, these flows, you like grime

Kso grime deep dive let’s gooooo

Skepta - Bad Boy Skepta - Insomnia Skepta Ft. Pharrell - Numbers Skepta - Bullet from a gun

Skepta and JME are legends

Recents Skepta - No sleep. Skepta ft Wizkid - energy (commercial hit)

One of the main influences in all UK rapping comes from the sound system culture from the carrabian as said down below. Drum n Bass and Garage MCing, I've even heard mcs spitting over techno at raves. The Garage and drum n bass mcing is what then evolved into grime so this is where this electronic dance music sound comes from.

Skepta - Man is a banger

grime came out of garage and 2step (roughly anyway, im sure it’s more complicated than that)

Yes it’s prominent - grime came out of uk garage music - you can define the sound as “eski” after Wiley, Eskimo

So about the electronic sound of Grime beats, Grime evolved out of the UK Garage sound in the early 00's Dubstep is also an offshoot of UK Garage that started bubbling up around the same time so there's a lot of sonic commonality between grime instrumentals and the early UK Dubstep sound. Grime and Dubstep are musical brothers, both are 140bpm and it's not uncommon to see Grime MCs spitting over Dubstep beats Some examples would be: Skepta & Plastician - Intensive Snare JME & Skream - Tapped JME & Commodo - Shift Killa P, Flowdan & The Bug - Skeng Flowdan & The Bug - Jah War (Loefah remix) Flowdan & Kahn - Badman City Newham Generals & Breakage - Hard P Money & Sukh Knight - Left The Room T-Man & Thelem - Bring Me Down There's loads more, as well as tonnes of recordings from pirate radio sets where Grime MCs would spit over Dubstep DJs Also, super cheeky plug, but I run a small dubstep label that put out this tune with a Grime MC: Luciferian & Kronix - Awaken

grime came from garage which is where the rave infuse is from

React to thats not me (all star remix) its got all skepta jme and all the uk grime legends in

Should check out Skepta ft. Giggs - Look Out. It’s a UK classic

His album konnichiwa!! Check it out

Need to see some Crazy T reactions

Kso you have to check out Pull up by KSI ft. JME. Both some of their best work

You Need To React To ‘Blade Brown - 12 Summers’ Or His Daily Duppy. That Real South London Street Rap

You need to do Skepta - that's not me allstar remix 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Skepta is a legend

Grime influenced house music. The characteristic sound of Grime instrumentals comes from people making tracks on 'PlayStation music maker'. Sometimes like the old demo version of FL Studio. But honestly, it's anything. Like if you're poor enough and you find this opportunity to actually make an original track, and you end up with these kind of interesting low-res synths backed up by dance-hall bass.

newer songs of skepta you should react to are, Warm (drill), kiss and tell(trap), eyes on me(grime), Nirvana(trap), energy far away(is already 4 years old though), welcome to the party(drill), show out(drill). just check all his albums and remixes really

the electronic sound comes from it's roots in Drum n Bass, many genres influenced grime and DnB is just one of them, thats bpm is so high at 140. and Skepta is herald as one of the goats of the 2000's/2010's, stormzy would be a very different rapper without Skepta.

Kso next Giggs talking the hardest or Skepta Giggs - look out both legendary thnes

THEY ARE BROTHERS!!!

You should react to either 96 Fuckries by JME or JME/SKEPTA freestyle (2006)both on KZfaq

Want a lyrical story of the cross over from garage to grime listen to “Wot Do U Call It” by Wiley

Please react to Dizzee Rascal on Sway in the morning radio - 5 fingers of death freestyle! Dizzee Rascal was the pioneer of grime and released the first ever grime album in the UK.

You HAVE TO react to more skepta - he is the king of the uk

yes, grime, house, jungle, house, garage, rap.....the uk

Greaze mode

Grime itself is just high BPM beats. The "electronic" music itself comes from Garage/House which is massive in the UK, but it's mainly influenced by Garage. If you went back to the late 90s/Early 2000s you'd see a lot of MCs in London MCing to a lot of Garage beats, which were usually high paced. The electronic part mainly comes from the early 2010s itself, being that house music was massive pretty much everywhere at that point, so it's probably just a reflection of the time rather than grime itself.

got to react to issmad jme

KSO UK grime came from UK garage thats where the electric beats came from that went over to house music you need to check some wiley tracks and giggs tracks and some tempa T tunes too you will throw ya chair across the room

u gotta react to the mistajams #sixty min live BBK cypher

If you're wanting to know what skeptas up to recently you should check out his track with A$AP Rocky - Praise the Lord.

JOE'S not a joke. He's not a roadman and is proud of it.

You still need to finish the Chip - Bugzy beef. You bailed just as it was about to get interesting 🤣

Should react to Skepta - Ace Hood Flow Skepta - Nasty (diss track) Skepta - Greaze Mode Skepta - Bullet from a gun

If you want to hear some real gold from skepta that's both funny as F and fire dig up english breakfast. It takes a bit of UK culture to really catch everything in there but it's worth breaking down the track for sure.

if you wanna do some of his new shit, "Peace Of Mind" with Kid cudi is insane, "Bullet from a Gun" is also big and really good

K koke- are u alone 🔥

Its always funny when someone forgets their outro

YOU HAVE TO REACT TO SKEPTA & GHETTS - IC3 That’s all

you should react to JME - If you don't know

When you find out about RoadSideG’s from SouthLondon your going to loose your mind🤣🤣😂🤣 The Grime Genre is dangerous, a completely unique sound with roots and influences from Dub Reggae
