The Big Narstie Show

[Clownbaby]

Just curious what everyone's opinion on Big Narstie is. He's been appearing on things and I just really don't like him. I get the appeal but he just annoys the shite out of me. Most of the time I can't understand what he's on about. Caught a couple eps of his new chat show to see if he's any better as a presenter, still not keen on the lad. Ed Sheeran is a boring bugger as well. What a boring guest.

Yeah he's an arsehole but he appeals to the 'yoof' so expect him to pop up loads in the next 6 months to a year and then disappear. He had a new album out last week as well so he's in the limelight a lot.

As a yoof myself I can't get into grime whatsoever. Yeah I think he's gonna be a faddy tv personality for a couple years. Still, nothing about his appearances on other shows prior to this chat show had me thinking "this guy could totally have his own show"

Grime was good years ago but it's gone too watered down. It will die down soon enough along with Big Narstie.

I think he's pretty funny.

I never got into grime, loved uk hiphop and uk garage but didn't like it when garage all got aggy and hard and eventually turned into grime.

Never heard of Big Nastie so prepared to take anyone's word on what he's like. Serious question though, what's the difference between Grime and Rap? Is (early) Dizzy Rascal Grime? Is it just rap with an electro style beat instead of funk and soul based beat?

[kalowski]

It's basically shit rap.

You're thinking of trap. Or crap, lol.

I caught toward the end of his show last night (with Victoria Coren Mitchell and Richard Ayoade) and it was alright I suppose. Too much removing the "sitting down and having a chat" element and replacing it with segments and skits that aren't great although I did enjoy the one where Narstie creates his own art installation.

He does seem to be a bit of an arse though.

Alright Grandad. Grime in the early 2000s was thrilling. You know, like fifteen years ago or more.

Are you using that bib? My dinner is here.

Grime is still good, you equally elderly man.

UK hip hop and grime is past its prime but there are still some good artists out there. American hip hop is in an awful fucking state though so hopefully the UK doesn't follow suit.

I stopped listening to any new American hip-hop in about 1995. Who is considered the best in the genre these days? Run The Jewels are vastly over-rated. Drake? He's not hip-hop, more R&B surely? Where should I turn for my hip-hop fix?

Oh god!

This was a bit awks with Richard Ayoade. He didn't seem to want to be on. Or is that how he is generally,

[momatt]

He's a fucking moron.
I guess you never get poor pandering to the lowest common denominator.

Word!

[JesusAndYourBush]

I thought it was ok.  A bit chaotic but that was a good thing, I think

He's always like that.  I don't know if it's a case of never breaking character (like Harpo Marx) or if he's like that in real life.
