Basically the evolutionary link between dub music (electronic successor of reggae/dancehall) and garage/grime. You can hear the Caribbean influence more clearly than you would later in garage, but at the same time it has more emphasis on breakbeats (especially the Amen breakbeat). You can also hear how dubstep developed out of this later. Jungle was primarily late 80s, early 90s I would say.

Jungle wasn’t really a proper thing until about 92-93. Before that it was hardcore music which had a lot more pianos and stabs and is pretty distinct although there is a lot of overlap
Hardcore split off into jungle and happy hardcore basically and jungle became its own thing entirely around 94

Hardcore breakbeat or something yeah. Jungle proper was like M-Beat stuff, early 90s, you're right.
Happy hardcore is funny as frick. Music for drunk Dutch guys.
this typa rap does not sound gangsta to me. it's cool music but nothing about this is harder than American rap. you niggas emulate us not the other way around
skep is the best of you tho
Hip-hop had classic albums way before any of the UK MCs did. By the late 80s, hip-hop albums were going above and beyond. Since the UK MCs were all in the electronic scene and more focused on singles (since it was for raves and clubs), the first classic albums there only came out by the 2000s.
The fact that it came out later just strengthens the argument that it inspired from Hip Hop and is a form of the culture.
One thing I only appreciated recently was how advanced the drum programming patterns were in 90s UK music, whereas US hip-hop still had boom bap beats (I love boom bap too but it took a while for US hip-hop to get more complex drums).

Yeah lol happy hardcore is one thing I just can’t get down with, same with donk music. Dutch people and Russians got weird ass taste in rave music. I should try to give happy hardcore another shot maybe tho
Late 80s early 90s hardcore is sublime tho
if i gotta go broke to pay for repaired tendons best hope i got some decent music to listen to after
One of the best posts I've ever seen on this forum

Its not gangsta rap so why would it
Read through the thread dawg.
Hip hop has over 30 subgenres and Grime is one
of them

Literally no said it wasnt influenced by hip hop lol
Its not gangsta rap so why would it

if not then bugger off
Literally no said it wasnt influenced by hip hop lol
Hip Hop CULTURE is NOT A GENRE. It is MORE than that. Holy s*** maybe we need to start there

I don't know how people can look at these massive web of genres and then claim grime is just hip-hop. The evolution is totally different, the predecessors and cousins and everything. Boy in the Corner by Dizzee probably has more connections to Aphex Twin than to Nas.
grime is as much a culture as it is a genre, people itt getting it messed up saying it doesnt have hip hop culture and stuff. it has its own

Grime does not come from hip-hop culture, but UK rap does.
gangsta. street. hard. if you read what i posted you would understand what im sayin
Yeah cuz its not hiphop and u associate that street sound with hiphop
