Grime comedy
Big Narstie was cited by music blog ‘RansomNote’ as one of the first in the ‘grime comedy’ genre. The blog states “Big Narstie is probably the don of this – at either end of his career you can find lyrics and beats drenched with sorrow, regret and nostalgia” and goes onto talk about the subjective opinion of the audience – “the fact that most outsiders can’t tell the difference between rage and satire tells you more about the audience than the performer”.
