In 2010, the dirt, the future was uncertain. As we prepare to enter the 2020s, it is definitely in a better place. Here is a look at some of the moments helped to define dirt in the course of this Decade . 2010 - 2013: Pass OutWe start with two images That , in 2010, and the battle That was fought over the direction of grime. at the beginning of the Decade , there is a real danger That dirt were the best days are behind him. The Scene , the biggest names were all the Pop Music is a go - with varying degrees of Success - and it looked like That was the way forward. Shit was going on, swallowed to be given to the mainstream and back again, in order for us to be unrecognizable. Tinie Tempah and Tinchy Stryder were to cross two of The Most successful grime artists Before February of 2010, Tinie Tempah was best known for his 2007 mixtape, Hood Economics, the with the now iconic Wifey Riddim . Then, he is released-Pass, The First of its seven UK number-one singles And One That was to be avoided and the time impossible. A few months later, D Double E Street Fighter Riddim is an Instant Classic of The Scene -the trailer. This has shown That while the dirt quiet time is from 2010 to 2013, there were still many artists - from P to created money Kozzie JME - who stuck with him. It's Street Fighting time! 2014: blacked-out window, leaning back in a German whip, The Scene roused, Without the release of Meridian Dan created the German whip, which featured Big H and JME, dirt can not be. It was The Song That showed, it was possible to create an authentic grime song That also translated in the daytime mainstream radio - Landing to 13 in the Official Charts. Some of the artists That were in front of him, Iggy Azalea , Charli Xcx , Jax Jones , Pharrell Williams , John Legend and Jess Glyne (twice). 2014: "We are gonna respect Jamaica. But now we do it for London, If your in the Earls Court Red Bull Culture Clash, it was not to deny That Something Special was happening, in the grime Four teams, four stages and 20,000 people at Earls Court in London. If you are lucky to be there for the Red Bull Culture Clash in 2014, it is a night you will not forget to definitely, in a hurry. the Reigning champions boy Better Know, were dropped by the Rebel Sound , consisting of David Rodigan , Shy Fx and Chase and Status at the end of The Night . But with The Godfather Wiley, The King Skepta and the newcomer Stormzy all On Stage together at various points, it will go down in History as the time That the United a few of the filth of the super powers. 2015: All day Zoom and you be on-the-spot: Dj Maximum , Jammer, novelist, Skepta , Stormzy . In 2010, who would have thought That Kanye West ' s name popping up in a dirt-moments of the Decade list would be? If you are invited what seemed like half of the grime scene was on the stage at the Brit Awards 2015, it is undoubtedly a moment. Then, Skepta sampled the reaction to The Performance , the to with everyone passed out In Hoodies , holding flamethrower in The Middle of the well - 2015 is the largest song, download. "A bunch of Young Men , all dressed in black, dancing extremely aggressive On Stage . It made me feel so intimidated and it's just not what I expect to see on Prime Time TV. "as in his song showed That dirt was in a place where it does not matter what the outside say to. *Try as much as you like, you will not find, JME created on the stage, although he was invited. Skepta the Younger Brother said, he had not eaten anything all day, "it was either die or watch it at home". 2015: the Chip can't run from the bars freestyle 1000 bars started is a lot of exploding happening in the year 2015 as the dirt was back to life. Chip launched this year's greatest saga, as he came up to 1Xtra for a fire in the cabin segment, and turning off The Music ended to deliver after four minutes, something of a sermon. she turned the lyrics of Tinie Tempah , the own fire in The Booth from the previous year, of which one is explicitly as a jab at Chip. The Tottenham MC used it as to try not get A Warning for the people, it in the year 2015. But a Manchester native language, until then a relatively unknown, didn't want to hear. Bugzy Malone ' s debut fire in the cabin, in addition to the year to be The Most watched, sparked A War of run would, most of the rest of the year. at various points Tinie involved Tempah, Big Narstie , Saskilla, Devilman and Skepta - But always around to Chip-and Bugzy. There was dirt, something That had not in a while, and Two Days in October 2015, when the five diss tracks were released, were some of the hypest of the Decade . 2015: never ride in Shoreditch, when it's down, eh? Skepta was basically ready, The Police shut down his show, if he's a Shoreditch Car Park in the year 2015 In The Middle of the growing beef between the Chip and Bugzy, Skepta had been removed, Shutdown , and somehow made hardly a dent in The Charts , peaked at 39 - despite the inevitable. But if The Meridian announced man, an improvised show in the Shoreditch Car Park , hundreds of fans turned up and it was literally closed by The Police - however, before you helped, Skepta to add to The Hype building around his name was around. 2015: brush your teeth, That a dead thing. The is ting a bad breath. Three of them had, before they come, But as Lady Leshurr Queen deleted ' s Speech 4, it went really viral. The playful, freestyle, filmed in one-take in Birmingham, now stands at nearly 60 million views. 2016: people are like Jaykae, where were you? Jaykae reported properly to the rest of the UK with the tooth pain, It is not fair to say, the dirt looked much outside of London, The City it came from, for The First ten years after it began in the early 2000s. But when it looked like the genre was MCs abandoned in Birmingham, Nottingham and the United Kingdom refused To Let the dirt tone is to die. many thanks to the likes of Sox, by the time Jaykae fell toothache in 2016, Birmingham was practically grime's second city. tooth pain and the reaction to it showed two things: That the dirt can progress to a nationwide Sound and The Song featured in one of America's biggest TV shows, Makes it really had to-That it was really the international waves. 2016: microphone Champion Konnichiwa album of the year was crowned at the Mercury's in the year 2016 - But Skepta is a microphone Champion since 2009, Skepta had ended a lot of Good Music and great moments of this Decade - mixtapes on Community Payback and on the black list to the 25-minute, Matrix, world-shattering, in the Tate Britain . But if he won the Mercury Prize in the year 2016, the moment was too deep, how fast things had changed, with Skepta On Stage , next to his mother, soaked in champagne, with friends and family next to him, the award is held. He would be beaten, David Bowie , Radiohead, and The 1975 is one of the biggest prizes in British Music .

Stormzy , who you would, some of the affected families, felt he needed to help his platform. at The Brit Awards in early 2018 - where grime artists are, historically, not been recognized yet, But where Stormzy won best album and best female Artist - was his moment. He called then-Prime Minister, Theresa May , and Grenfell was still in the headlines. 2018: Buda-bup-bup-D Double E-post dirt was scheduled for the 2018 Rating of awards, There is probably no one who lives and breathes the dirt More Than a double-D - E-and there is definitely no one else who has to do so little for a reload. published But , despite the now legendary Status , a double, his first album in the year 2018. Jackuum seemed to be in some way a salvation for D Double E, who admitted That his debut should have album, happened a long time ago.
