I don't think we've discussed Sway and Stush's 'F Ur X' on poptimists yet? Here's the video!

- lol at introducing the song as 'Forget Ur X'
- the word 'bloodclaat' is censored now?!
- first pop song to drop a ref to Facebook?
- Stush kissing her teeth = best bit of the song, Stush's hand movements = best bits of video
- mmm lovely clattery beats and bouncy bass - don't actually know who produced it but it's v Stickyesque
- awww Sway takes the high road and a happy ending ensues: "Cuz I like you y'know, I'mma wife you y'know, you're not just a link you're my wifey y'know / Wifey y'know, that's like a life thing y'know, have a family with you, that's likely y'know"

Like the fact that grime seems to be making its way into my psyche as a comedy of manners. (OK, well obv. I've heard a lot more grime than just this and "I Luv U" and "Wearing My Rolex," but for some reason I've made those three defining.)

Grime is GREAT at comedies of manners - two other favourites in that vein are Doctor and Davinche's 'Gotta Man?' (http://youtube.com/watch?v=79NPkOFmrBI) and Davinche, Katie Pearl and Kano's 'Leave Me Alone' (http://youtube.com/watch?v=l4kXK8reg3U). Though I should make sure to send some real shouty grime club bangers your way too.

One thing I like about "Gotta Man" in particular is that the rest of the music does what a lot of crunk'll do, which is to refuse to acknowledge that what the voices are doing and saying is funny. So the music can be as ominous and jarring as it likes. (Or maybe because the music is ominous and jarring, the voices cab be as funny as they like.)
