What-o darkie

"then again, even on my ipod, a lot of the tracks sound a bit too thin sonically. its a bit piercing at times"

I've heard this before, and it makes me wonder how many people are actually buying the vinyl/CDs and ripping it themselves, and how many are just YSIing Rinse FM rips or downloading substandard mp3s from the RWD forums. I buy vinyl from the shops, record it through a preamp and then equalize the WAV files, and I've never had a problem with Black Ops, Aftershock or even Roll Deep sounding tinny at 224/320 Kbps. (Ruff Sqwad vinyl can sound thin and cheap on occasion, but since it has happened to me several times, I'm guessing it has to do with the quality of the pressing.)

it almost makes you hate grime, in a way.

― beatles fan, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 15:32 (eighteen years ago) link

lex, fidddy got MURKED by prancehall. prancehall spit bars that were just too too big. fiddy came with little bars like all she had was childrens lunchbox chocolates from variety family packs. prancehall though, hes working wiv strictly factory size cadburys bars.

only thing is i do think it sometimes is a bit self promotional and maybe cos shes an insider

Maybe cause... well it's HER blog. She can post whatever she wants. I like her writing, even if half the time I don't know the songs/records she talks about.

― nathalie starts to cry each time we meet (stevie nixed), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 18:50 (eighteen years ago) link

the problem i have is simply that i have no fire in my belly since dizzee left, except to make beats, at which i am a genius, but i cant be bothered to rap anymore. well not unless its to do with dissing lethal b, in which case i am quite inspired. but i never really wanted to rap anyway, i just wanted to produce. im generally very listenable and fun and engaging on radio, but when it comes to recording my own tracks, i am usually so spliffed out from smoking all year long, that i sound quite bored, deflated, and not very fun or engaging, which isnt very good is it. plus, my simple a-b-c style gets too simple on my won tracks, and i get a bit bored, and cant be bothered anymore. basically, im just not that good at writing songs as i am at sptting bars, especially those aimed at fire camp and lethal b. or vague lines about people not liking me (like lethal b for instance) because well, i am wiley, and lines about vague positive things like fixing up and getting better and looking ahead and things like that. just listen to my first album if you dont believe me.

― wiley, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 18:53 (eighteen years ago) link

one reason i really like grime is cos of the namedrops to my locale. did tinchy really namedrop gants hill? that is so fucking biggle.

― ilfordmassive, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 18:54 (eighteen years ago) link

yes - on "Chillin" off Aim High 2.

They shout out Edgware and Watford in the intro to Guns N' Roses! Big!

DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN

― hold tight the private caller (mwah), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 18:56 (eighteen years ago) link

VERY BIG!!!!!!!

― ilfordmassive, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 18:57 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, wiley, sorry about leaving, that was wrong of me, i thought you would be okay. you dont sound quite as good since i left. matter of fact, you were crap on the remixes to both my singles. but anyway, stick to producing mate. youre good at that.

― dizzeerascal, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 18:59 (eighteen years ago) link

sort of related: Riddim.Ca is a pretty good online grime community, especially for those of us who live in Toronto.

― Jack, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 19:02 (eighteen years ago) link

But you're a nice guy Wiley. That matters, and don't let anyone tell you different.

Jack keeping it on-topic!

Haha actually didn't Simon get voted cutest journalist somewhere? It might have been ILM ballot box stuffing though.

I hate to say it, but I think you're blowing your chances here.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 20:35 (eighteen years ago) link

why?

― fiddypleasemarryme, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 20:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Chantelle Fiddy is choong! I asked her for her number on hattie collins blog an she gave me air pie she must think im butters behind my screen. to that other fiddy person just allow it ur da reason shes not taking people like me serious but dont worry if i see her in a dance im gonna move to her.

― Hmm!, Thursday, 25 August 2005 09:23 (eighteen years ago) link

oi fiddy is a buff ting. she is mine though. i emailed gyal like hattie collins, man like martin clark, jesus like simon reynolds and pansy man like silver dollar, but none of them was wanting to give up the digits. its like theyre all locked into secrecy. if i see her on road though, im gonna give her all my best lines.

― jampie, Thursday, 25 August 2005 09:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Chantele Fiddy is a totally rockin' chick. She's a rockin' and a rollin' goin' for a strollin'. I'd like to hold her hand like the Beatles. We'd go for a strollin' together. I might even put my hand on her butt. She'd like that. She is a rockin' chick.

― Chantelle is rockin', Thursday, 25 August 2005 14:23 (eighteen years ago) link

im really happy my chan is getting such good feedback. its nice to see, after all those years i encouraged her to listen to michael bolton and phil collins while beautifying herself. i dont always like what she writes about, and i do worry when i see photos of her with all those grime and garage boys, but shes a lovely girl. ill just have to make sure her dad doesnt see this thread next time hes on the internet.

― chantellesmum, Thursday, 25 August 2005 14:35 (eighteen years ago) link

This thread has taken a turn for the creepy.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 25 August 2005 14:37 (eighteen years ago) link
