    Grime is basically a sub sub-genre of Drum & Bass. The sound did evolve from U.K. Garage yes; however the MC'ing, DJ'ing and Producing skills came from D&B. Krishnan asking Lethal about Hip-Hop is like a Grandad question lol.

      That's rubbish, you've got it twisted.
      Jungle comes from hardcore and ragga/reggae.
      UK G comes from jungle and US garage.
      Grime comes from jungle and UK G.
      DnB is a what jungle became, it developed in the late 90's, but grime is not a sub genre of DnB, it's a sibling, they share the same parents.
      Grime came from UK G and jungle, it did not come from DnB at all.
      The MC/DJ skills came from dancehall/reaggae, that's why you will hear older grime MC's refer to themselves as "deejays", which in Jamaica means somebody who talks or chants over a riddim, which is the literal definition of a grime mc. That's also why grime DJ's are often refered to as "selectah/selector", that is the dancehall term for a disc jockey.
      Ya need to go learn some grime history dude.

      @@andishawjfac Bruv, I was literally at those UKG raves, when the sound changed from Dark Garage into Grime and Dubstep. Grime is just the total other side of UKG (2-Step), with the main elements of D'n'B. Mixed with Dancehall and Rap music.
      Why I wrote that about Grime is because it is a slower version of D'n'B, to me. Emcees like Skiba (R.I.P), Shabba or Eksman can easily emcee on Grime instrumentals, while Grime MC's have emceed on D'n'B for years.
      For ages, people tried to run that silly notion of "Grime is a sub-genre of Hip-Hop" when the genre clearly came from U.K. Garage and definitely close to Drum & Bass.
      FYI, U.K. Garage came from Deep House and Garage House/U.S. Garage.

      From my own point of view, you need to invest smartly, if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $505k in raw profits from just q4 of the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy. mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key for short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.

      My portfolio is very much diversified so it's not like i have a particular fund i invest in. plus i don't do that by myself. i follow the trades of KAREN GAYE GRAY. She is a popular broker you might have heard of. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as a financial adviser as her diversification skills are top notch/ I say because i see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 10 to 15% on a monthly basis. unlike i can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along. my portfolio just mirrors what she

The first choice of immigration from Caribbean was USA not England. The American government clamped down on post war immigration from the Caribbean.
      2.There were many West Indians who were here after the call from the UK to join and assist in the war effort. The post war cabinet of the late Clement Attlee of the Labour wanted to fill the newly created positions of the newly created NHS by Health Minister Nigh Bevan. The UK post war government needed workers to assist in the rebuilding of Britain given the significant loss of manpower via casualties of the second world war as men who went to fight lost their lives replacements were necessary. There was an African population in the 40's 50's60's and 70's (even before that i. e the Somalian population of Cardiff Wales and those African merchants sailors yes small but present. What about the ten thousand people plus black people who lived in UK mainly London in the 1800's. There are families in Liverpool that can trace up to nine generations of families in the UK. Many ofb Caribbean descent both domestic born and those came as children with parents, attended primary and secondary schools with many of them and in the 60's and 70 's some of the African visitor students actually stayed with Caribbean families.
      There were significant numbers of families that went back to the West Indies in the 70'sand 80's.Some even emigrated to Canada, have actually seen and met them there in Toronto Ontario Halifax Nova Scotia and Vancouver. Yes there are those who are still here from the 50's60's & 70's
