Re: Tinchy

I don't really have a problem w/electro per se, it's just that Tinchy's version of it is SO cheesy and embarrassing, and it doesn't play to his strengths in the slightest (which as you say are limited - no one thought Tinchy was a viable star on this level at all until it actually happened). It's not about "grime" either given that most grime MCs are off doing other things, from funky to electro, in 2009. I mean, I don't really think many of those tracks I linked are that grimy! 'Hands Of Time' is reggae, 'Dance 4 Now' is bassline/electro, 'Princes' is art-rock...

But it's kinda sweet how cheesy it is, I feel. I find myself charmed by his unabashed pursuit of rom-com style smoochy emotion.
