“I don’t think if they do it in a grime way,” he says. “That’s just my opinion. I can always be wrong… I think grime belongs to the U.K. They need to find a medium and I think it’ll work, that’s just my personal opinion.
“I know how grime is perceived in the States and it’s not good,” A$AP Rocky continues. “Don’t take it from me, ask anybody. I personally love grime. If you ask somebody in the U.S. what’s grime, they not gonna know what you talking about. If they [do] know what you talking about they probably only gonna know Skepta’s name or Dizzee Rascal, that’s it.”
