Skepta’s 2015 hit “Shutdown” serves as the decade’s ultimate London anthem: catchy enough to elevate slang to lexicon, hard enough to burst from the world’s weediest soundsystem, and worldly enough to shut down both the Arc de Triomphe and Central Park, as the rapper teases in the song. In a satirical mid-song skit, an unfeasibly posh woman laments the “intimidating” presence of men in hoodies on her TV, alluding to?Kanye West’s grime takeover of the 2015 BRIT Awards, which featured Skepta alongside many of the genre’s stars. With this flourish, Skepta’s single rejects battle-rap showboating and zeroes in on the real bête-noire: the snoots who clutch pearls when black MCs breach the nation’s living rooms. The promise of a new, emancipatory grime wave has since resonated loud and clear, on the UK’s biggest stages and beyond. –Jazz Monroe

Skepta在2015年發(fā)行的熱單“Shutdown”成為了這十年最終的倫敦之歌——足夠抓耳，能把黑話都上升到詞典的高度；足夠硬核，就算從世界上最差勁的音響里放出來(lái)也同樣炸裂；足夠全球化，能讓凱旋門和中央公園都嗨到關(guān)停，就如同這位說(shuō)唱歌手在歌中揶揄的那樣。歌曲的中間插入了一小段諷刺小品，一群穿著連帽衫的“令人恐怖”的男人們的出現(xiàn)在電視屏幕上，一位虛構(gòu)的上流社會(huì)女子對(duì)這感到極其失望，這一情景其實(shí)是在暗指Kanye West在2015年的全英音樂(lè)獎(jiǎng)?lì)C獎(jiǎng)禮上那場(chǎng)燃到爆的grime風(fēng)格演出，表演也有Skepta等同一音樂(lè)流派的歌手參與。通過(guò)這段令人印象深刻的小品，Skepta的歌曲完全脫離了battle-rap（譯者注：通常充斥炫耀和辱罵的說(shuō)唱形式）的自吹自擂，而是把矛頭直接對(duì)準(zhǔn)了那些討厭鬼們：那些在黑人說(shuō)唱歌手們成功出現(xiàn)在家家戶戶的電視上，這些自以為是的人們變得驚慌失措。全新的、解放的grime潮流的希望自此開始不斷清晰有力地回響在英國(guó)最大的舞臺(tái)和更多更大的場(chǎng)合。
