Grime

Grime music is typified by complex 2-step breakbeats, generally around 140 beats per minute and constructed from unorthodox sounds. Stylistically, grime takes from many genres including UK Garage, dancehall and hip hop. The lyrics and music combine futuristic electronic elements and dark, guttural bass lines. The rapped lyrics will often contain jabs at other musicians, and concerts are often organized as battles between competing performers, rather than simply performances.

dude i like hadouken but a few elements don't make them grime, you know. it's like saying the streets should be number two top tagged artist for "classical" cause he sampled a symphony from time to time
