I should have started this blog two or three years ago, when grime was on the rise and I had lots of thoughts about it. Now it is apparently on the "decline" (meaning that at very least the record industry, particularly in the States, has completely refused to attempt to promote artists other than Dizzee Rascal). This little clip is a glimpse of the relentless energy and genuine weirdness of the music... a freestyle battle that doesn't really involve freestyling, but is more like a collision of demented forces. No better image of a subculture, though, than the crowd, who seem to "get it," even if I barely do...
