Reggae Music.

Used to flood the charts in my early teens in the skin days, what the fuck is this Grime music being played now ?

You're probably viewing grime the same way owd buggers did to Reggae back in your yoof.

[frank_spencer]

As for those unsure what grime is.

That'll be true.

 

I don't "get" grime though. It just sounds like a racket to me. I've turned into my Dad.

[no balls]

1 section of our warehouse has grime blasting out most of the time as the lads in that bit love it. I don't mind it if I have to nip in but that fucking bounce in another bit, they get told!

Me Pete and my dad ended up in a grime club in Portsmouth after we got in Europe that day.

 

We stood out like giraffes wearing dark sunglasses in a polar bears only nightclub.

Must admit the places I attended in my yoof had a bit of variation between soul and reggae, it was the disco tunes what destroyed my night out at clubs in the mid 70s with cheesie records.

[deane koontz]

It's a bit of a mixture of garage dnb and hipity hop and it's been around for ages. If you want noise try Death Grips.

never been into reggae always thought it of as a bit shit,but went to ramsbottom festival a few years ago and watch a bunch of white lads from leicester called by the rivers playing a bit of what they called reggae,and it was bloody good stuff.

 

as for grime, its what you clean from your bathroom

[Whites man]

I'll have a listen tonight

[bolty58]

Need to go back to its roots to get it.

 

Suggest starting with a bit of Sir Coxsone Dodd and some King Stitt followed by owt by (the late, great) Prince Buster & his Torchlighters.

 

Move on to someone like The Maytals and then the more mellow tones of Althea & Donna.

 

If you don't get it by then, join Undies and the tone deef brigade and let the metal mash your melon.

 

Grime? Two minute wonder.

If you want to listen to 'old skool' type reggae then take heed of everything Bolty said, listen to the excellent Trojan compilations as Bigtoe mentions, buy soundtrack album The Harder they Come' by Jimmy Cliff and others and if you don't like any of the above have a good look at yourself and realise that you don't actually like music basically! ???? If you do like it, anything involving Lee 'Scratch' Perry as a producer or artist, anything by Culture, Gregory Isaacs, Third World should get you started, as far as British reggae is concerned then 'Handsworth Revolution' by Birminghams excellent Steel Pulse is pretty much essential. Enjoy!

The Jimmy Cliff film is a great watch too.

[chief wiggum]

The Jimmy Cliff film is a great watch too.

Certainly is and is highly recommended, but the soundtrack even stands up on its own as a snapshot of where Jamaican music was at during those times. An equivalent is Curtis Mayfield's unbelievably great Superfly soundtrack, the film captured inner city black America brilliantly but the soundtrack is arguably better than the film.
