Skepta Quotes

I love hip-hop, R&B, techno and Latin.

I'm into my grime, hip-hop, dance, and house music.

My heart has always been in more up-tempo music you can dance to.

I am looking to get into the grime rap U.K. scene.

If it's time to party, it's time for hip hop. I love Drake, Jay-Z, Kanye. If I'm chilling at home though, I'm listening to Massive Attack, Thievery Corporation, Radiohead, DJ Shadow. I also listen to a lot of classical.

I was playing hip-hop when everybody else was playing the giant rave music.

If anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. It's really only to be heard when everyone's out enjoying it.

Bounce music is uptempo, heavy bass, call and response.

The best music to dance to is my music! Haha! I say anything that speaks to you. I personally enjoy dancing to hip-hop, R&B music, EDM/trap music.

I love that you can just walk into the club and hear Young Jeezy or hear Fetty, and it's on.

I make music that makes you dance, so I mean, it's appropriate, you know what I'm saying? I make the kind of music that DJs can grab a hold of and spin the record and people just love rocking out to the big Snoop D O double G.

Dance music is about having a good time, and a lot of dance music is very serious now. When progressive house and progressive tech came along, it was kind of serious, but it's all context as well.

A lot of the rap shows I saw as a kid were boring, but if you went to a Rage show or a Justice show, the kids were losing their minds.

Reggeton has changed very much, musically. It has evolved. The artists have also evolved.

I think the grime scene is one of the sickest, most diverse scenes ever.

Hip-hop I never really got really into mainly just because I'm not a big fan of rap. I do like R&B artists like Beyonce. I'm a big fan of her mainly because of her vocals. They're just so awesome. I love her and Christina Aguilera, and that whole urban kind of feel is really great, especially with my voice.

I've never been massive on rap, but there's that whole kind of culture of U.K. rap.
