The only grime I've been exposed to is Dizzee Rascal's first 3 albums. Also, my first Currensy project that I listened to was Pilot Talk and Covert Coup. Still trying to muster up excitement for PT3.
TH3 was alright, some might even say good.

Sounds a little like Father with the minimal production

Given that you won't understand the lyrics I'll say the beats are pretty much what you expect from his albums.
Good bangers, and a few that are more a mix of banger and "melodious" (for trap). It's pretty nice
You're a terrible person either way.

Somebody post a wavy gif.Goddamn @ Cigarette Boats. This is maybe better than Covert Coup. I need a balcony like Neil McCauley to listen to this shit.
Dope.

The first track just gave me some random Reading Rainbow nostalgia ~2 minutes in right before the drop.
Disco pls I didn't need this right now ;_;

I'm a grime supporter. I've dropped some in our plug sessions before etc but yea, a grime thread wouldn't get much love. If I ever become an MMA fighter this will be my walk out music:

NVM I found what I was looking for:
Dizzee Rascal vs Slimzee on Rinse FM 2002
oh damn lmao

What is 'All I Know' doing on this album though? It sounds like something Skyzoo would rap over in 2009. Most of the feature selections are abit dodgy too, but, I'm nitpicking. Positivity 2015™; this shit is mostly dope. 'Lemonade Mimosas' is worthy of being on any Pilot Talk album, Audio Dope 5 does it's series justice, and 'Get Down' is some Norman Brown shit.
When I look at it's predecessors though, I see a couple albums with amazing runs from tracks 1-7, and this doesn't really have any area that competes with them, or enough top quality ish to put it above 1 or 2. In third place, but it's a (really) good third.
Skepta's always had that ear.
Oh My Gosh
Nostalgia...

Sorry to keep clogging up the thread with old Curren$y albums, but rankings now:
Cigarette Boats > Covert Coup > PT 1 = PT 3 > PT 2 > Stoned Immaculate
Cigarette Boats is so good I don't even care that it's like 15 minutes long.

This is pretty neat. Crazy production.
Pilot Talk 3 stream for those that haven't heard it yet.
Before clicking I knew the first link would be Ghetto Kyote, such an awesome beat.
But yeah, I love grime, and I really think more people should give it a shot. there's three albums I always recommend to hip hop fans because they're a great transition from one genre to another, at least I like to think so. I'll post a few sample tracks for every album if anyone is interested.
Kano - Home Sweet Home (of course lol)

Ghetto - Freedom of Speech (he goes by Ghetts these days)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EacLVeS8mio
(this track uses the same sample as Biggie's Ten Crack Commandments, a pretty incredible flip)

The moment you realize he didn't include this on the album while having "u" and "For Free?" on it.
smh
The line about being Pac reincarnated made me cringe though.

still dope as fuck.
For Free is amazing and anyone saying otherwise is exposing themselves as an idiot. Also this song is a GKMC left over lol
yes, they're the idiot of course
Didn't know it was a GKMC leftover, my bad.
As to "For Free?"... there's certainly someone exposing themselves as an idiot right now.

Oh shit, Run the Jewels and Talib Kweli are headed here to our 80/35 Music fest this year. In.

wait you realize this is super old right
still dope though
same with The Jig is Up which came out around the same time
edit: anyone got production credits for PT3?
Toku just posts man. That's how he does.
I believe there are credits out there. A lot of Cool & Dre and Ski.
reminds me of some Blueprint 1 era Hov shit. on a scaled down budget obviously. love that beat.
Oh cool, thanks!

Yeah they roughly did half and Jalil Beats and Fraud did one a piece.
Yeah definitely one of my favorite tracks I like how they flipped the beat differently than how it was on West Side Right on Time

No lies detected. Still need Ross' ol bitch ass to release that Movin' Base remix with Tink tho.

Also...just the way she talks and acts. She seems rather mature, honestly she gives me Kendrick/Cole vibes in terms of how she handles herself. Anyone that isn't catty and shaking their ass is going to have trouble until we see a really transformational female artist show up. And I just don't think it's Tink, even though she seems the closest to a Lauryn Hill type talent in recent memory.

That song came out more than two years ago, right before GKMC.
u is a great song and I really like For Free. Worst song on the album is For Sale imo.

That's one of my favorites off the album reminds of a Innervisions era Stevie Wonder song.
