Thank you for adding this. I added the other one because I want to suggest open source solutions for the sake of being on Lemmy but couldn’t find this

It’s so worth it to be able to see the songs I was actually listening to in high school. It’s so cool when talking music with people
Crazy that the meme has lasted so long. I also loved the meme when I was 12.
It is actually a good verse though, especially for a freestyle
Yeah I know what you mean :/ it was one of my most listened albums before he started being an anti-semite, but it just makes it so much harder. Wiley did a lot of the production on Boy In Da Corner, but Dizzie hates Wiley with a burning passion now. It’s tough with Wiley specifically because he could be argued to be an inventor of the genre. Pirating his stuff isn’t a bad idea. He’s too important in the history of grime to fully avoid between all his production credits and features, however it’s a very loaded recommendation because Wiley is a POS. Related: Diss track from Skepta using a somewhat legendary Wiley beat from a decade previous to the diss.
I’d say grime is more lyrical than American hip-hop in the fact that being your own person and being independent are much more valued in grime culture. JME’s vegan bars would be controversial in American rap, while in Grime it’s seen as charming and funny even by non vegans. Grime has lyrically boring tracks just like any other genre, but there’s more freedom to be a unique personality within the movement because it has some roots in punk. It’s okay for JME to be a straight edge nerd that loves to get more technical with his writing, he’s one of the biggest rappers in Grime. JME, Skepta, Wiley, Flowdan and Kano all have extremely unique personalities and music within the genre and it’s praised. It’s more about the music than the social dynamics, so it’s okay to be corny because you think a line is funny.
The best grime album is Godfather by Wiley. That album doesn’t have any misses, it’s just crazy from front to back. Too bad he’s such an anti-semite that Godfather got taken off streaming. But Godfather is pretty much that era of grime perfected. Grime MC is also really good.

Flowdan is someone I’d consider a grime GOAT. And grime is a small enough genre that a lot of people have the same GOAT picks. Glad to see him working with Skrillex because Skirllex is a great fit for grime.
Extremely old and extremely young people get them
When I was in high school, I heard someone say “I don’t know why poverty exists when we can just 3d print money”. What the 3d has to do with this, I do not know
Excited for the sync Lemmy app
Watermark does a lot for spreading websites. iFunny and 9Gag should not have had the staying power they had in the ages they did, they were pretty much entirely propped up by their watermarks. Unintrusive stuff like transparent logos with a link are cool. As long as the purpose of the watermark is for the image to actually be shared rather than lock it into the site, it’s effective.
