TOP TEN LIST

Loudmouth breaks down his top ten mc's via a track...what you reckon?

INTRODUCING SMASHBROS

If you've been to a grime or dubstep event in Melbourne over the past couple of years you would have seen all of the above reprobates for sure. Smashbro's are a new collective comprising myself Fraksha (nine high), Scotty hinds (nine high), Diem (Hired Goons / Hospice Crew) + Murky Depths (ex-Ming Mers) who have come together 'cos we're pretty much the only mc's doing this type of thing in this country that we've heard...and we also happen to sink a lot of drinks + what else together anyway. You're sure to see us around as a group a bit more often, but in the meantime here's a quick radio thing from last Friday night on triple R with Camo on decks http://www.divshare.com/download/7218554-72a
and if you're about this coming Saturday then catch us at Heavy Innit at Roxanne's in China Town

WE INVENTED THE REMIX

Alright we didnt...but anyways. Renowned dubstep producer Spherix has just done a remix of the tune i done with Afficks originally, 'Next sound Level'. Ive not heard it yet cos my internet is weeeak and its reverted to dial up till the end of the month - major par - but if you wanna check it out here it is http://www.sendspace.com/file/1zhmnw

BOB DEEP BARBEQUE THIS SATURDAY

This is what i was on about a few days ago, found the flyer

WHAT TO DO...

Sooooo, weekend soon! Saturday is destined to be messy! I've not got a flyer on me right now (will stick it up later), but on Saturday afternoon from 1pm we got an all dayer over in Flemington. Starting with dancehall, but then moving on at 3pm to a dubstep soundclash with names being picked out of a hat. I'm gonna be hosting and DJ wise off the top of my head we got Same-o, Afficks, Shredder and loads more i cant remember right now. Subbass are providing the soundsystem, SpinFx is running a barbeque, get down! It goes til 1am, but i think i'll be bouncing to one of these.


Which one tho right now i'm not 100% sure. Knowing me tho i'll more than likely hit up 'Pressure Drop' for the free beer between 10-11 and then onto Favela just before midnight for the cheap agwa's...see you there!

CAMMO or is it KAMMO or is it KAMO or is it....

I'll be playing at it again this month as part of a new grime crew called SuperSmashBrothers. This consists of myself and Scotty from Nine High and then Murky Depths (you might know him as Ming Mers of Hospice Crew fame) and Diem (Rhys from Hired Goons / Hospice) and apart from a quick thing at the Bushfire benefit last month, this will be our debut appearance as a group. As far as i'm aware there aint any other grime crews in the whole country either and if there is i'm pretty confident they aint nothing! Quote me if you wish :) anyway, come down and check it out, its gonna be a good night.

LOGAN ON GRIME

Interesting article here from Logan Sama on 'what makes something grime?' in the face of so many people screwing at 'bait hip hop' etc. Lets face it tho, for real no one is gonna have a chart smash with grime as we know and love it. Its gonna have to be messed around with to get any mainstream p's, and 'fans' may be getting teary eyed and emotional over their favourite mic man dropping a 'bait hip hop' or electro tune's, but as long as they're still dropping them grimey numbers at the same time then whats the issue? Just know it aint for you and dont worry about it! Like i'm no fan of most of Tinchy Stryder's recent shit, but i'm not gonna have a cry about it, let him make some money, I'll just be bumping something else!

This month I’m talking about what makes grime… grimy? It’s a difficult question. Grime is predominantly influenced by garage, jungle, hip hop and dancehall; a pretty conflicting group of sounds. It’s hard to pin down what makes a grime record. Sub bass? Well Ice Rink is definitely a grime record and that had no bass at all. Is it synths and electronic sounds that sound gritty and unmixed? Producers like Low Deep have developed a polished sound, while still ensuring the name “Grime” is attached to the main body of their work. What else?

You’d say the tempo, right? Well, that’s wrong. A lot of production on Wiley and Dizzee’s first albums range from bpms of 90 to 160. While most of the beats played in sets are around 138, when you get into albums and mixtapes, MCs venture into other tempos.

A lot of MCs are releasing mixtapes now. Artist-driven projects which are designed to not only show off lyrical talents but also versatility. The phrase “Tempo Specialist” was coined by The Movement, and a lot of MCs are keen to show they can handle different tempos. Indeed I feel that unless you can change the speed of your lyrics’ delivery, it is very difficult to address certain emotions. But what we are finding is MCs are looking to hip hop for beats to soundtrack their stories. A lot of fans are disappointed by this. They feel if an artist makes his name in grime, they don’t want to hear them on the latest Dipset instrumental. Would they feel different if they were using beats made by grime producers made at a slower tempo? Would they still even consider it grime?

I’ve spoken to different producers and MCs, and found varying opinions. DaVinChe told me that when he tried making a slower tempo beat, a lot of MCs told him it was hip hop. Bashy told me he finds it hard to get beats from producers that accurately soundtrack his words. Similarly, a lot of grime MCs are turning to hip hop to showcase their versatility. But would there be as many hip hop freestyles from MCs if there were more beats available that push the boundaries?

Personally, this raises an interesting quandary. As a DJ in grime you are assessed mainly on your ability to beat-mix and cut and chop between beats in a set. How would you accommodate different tempo tracks in a live set? Would I be able to play different tempo instrumentals for MCs to spit on live? Should I even?

I am all up for artists experimenting. And while grime stays an artist-centric scene, then they will always want to try out different tempos. By doing so, are they leaving grime? Do we want to see artists leave the scene because their artistic expression is being shunned? To me, grime is a culture and an ethos, and not something that can be summed up by a set-list of rules.

As long as artists retain the attitude, vernacular, style, and slang they learned picking up the mic on pirate radio spitting to grime, they are still grime to me. And while mic men such as Goodz, Bashy and more blur the line between what is grime and what is hip hop, they should remember why Dizzee is still considered an ambassador of this scene; retain that about you which is unique from established hip hop. That which made people care about you in the first place.

And producers, try experimenting more with the artists. But would it still be grime? I guess that is up to you, the listener to decide.

SPANK AWAY...

Maybe Chris Brown was just trying to strengthen the relationship?

Erotic spanking 'good for relationships'

Spanking during sex might be stressful at first but it helps bring couples closer together, according to new research.
Scientists from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, claim sadomasochistic (S&M) activities like spanking, bondage, and flogging increase intimacy within a relationship.

The boffins studied an S&M party and found that levels of the stress hormone cortisol went up in both men and women on the receiving end of these activities, the New Scientist magazine said.
