    Mannn Grime is actually incredible. Fire s---. Such a unique hype feeling to it without having it feel like dirty trap.

    I REALLY wanna hear Cole on some grime beat. He'd murder.

    You're a fan of Grime? I think mixtape Cole would fit in it. He has done a Hip Hop song with UK artists Wretch 32 and Tinie Tempah. Grime is very fast on 140bpm. I don't think many North American fans can get into it tho cuz of the way we talk, which is naturally faster than the US. Skepta - Shutdown works cuz of the repetitive chorus of the word, and now this Stormzy track. You should look at the Grime thread.

    First half of t-ts is meh, second one is dope. Overall a good project. City of Stars, Stainless and Never Been stand outs for me, got me that mixtape Logic feel, where he approached the beat by not trying to flow too hard til the beat ends to prove that he can rap, but actually make it sound interesting, fitting to the ambient of the whole song while experimenting a bit too. Wish I got more of that. Still better than Under Pressure tho.

    Let's admire this Paradise verse in written form

    Now this that SpottieOttieDopaliscious, hella vicious
    I wonder where is this, hold up
    Get the f--- out my business, show enough
    We roll up then load up
    Just a b------ born out of wedlock
    Close to the Earth like a dreadlock
    Got my sites on deadlock
    Visions of my enemy in a headlock

    Feel like I'm livin' in Bedrock, surrounded by rubble
    Just a youngin' in trouble
    Took a shot and then made it a double
    Took a shot and then made it a double

    This that food for thought, my school ain't taught me good
    No one greedy inside my hood
    But a tablespoon of this baking soda gon' make it good, like it should

    That's ignant isn't it
    Hold up now wait, take a look at my pigment
    Tell me again, we can never be kin based on the color of my skin

    Matter of fact your lips ain't thin
    That's a club I don't wanna be in

    My DNA get done integrated
    My God it's innovative
    That's a million miles away from administrative
    I f---in' hate it, anyway

    Long ago, way back in the day in a place called West Deer Park
    I was like 5, sit in my mama lap while she would drive
    Police would knock on the door, I would hide
    Then they would talk to me and I would lie
    Hopin' I, don't die on this side of a .45
    Then they would handcuff my mama and take her away
    Over down on the driveway

    Fast forward a couple of years and I'm bumpin' that Sade
    Fast forward a couple of more and I'm bumpin' that "My Way"
    By Sinatra,
    so high, so high, oh my, God d---
    Now I'm a grown man, oh man
    What the f--- done happened to the plan
    I know, as soon as I write this I might just go crazy

    Anything but lazy, I can't sleep
    Cause if I do, there's another MFer wide awake on the creep
    Tryna k--- you and he will too

    We livin' like civilized people, but far from equal
    I hope I live a long life and get to see my sequel
    My son, my seed

    Watch 'em grown and then watch 'em lead
    Let me proceed, bumpin' that that Californication, by the Red Hot
    f--- around and then hit 'em with a red dot
    Y'all better not me f---in' with me
    Who, him? Yeah, me, I be the God MC

    Giving out a big test today to my 8th graders. Man... Seeing their results makes me feel like crap.

    I need to do a better job connecting them to the material.

    I'm a bad teacher y'all.... I've failed as an adult.

    This is fire. Stormzy only getting started as well
    Haven't been a long-time follower of grime but it's always about the energy and vibe, this vid a must watch. The energy is so raw, if u wanna turn up this is how to do it
