The reason i think it hasn't blown up completely is because the words they say others cant relate or understand but i do think eventually it will pass all of rap that comes out of the US. U.S rappers are shocking now days, none of them can spit (majority of the new ones, that are famous)

Then you have pioneers like Dizzee and even Wiley that hit the US scene but couldn't get in, because people don't care about rapping on grime beats, they care about what's popping in the club, hence why someone like Lil Uzi is huge. I think that the Skepta project was proof of that, a really good album with great production, even Pharell, but it's not enough because that's not what's popping. Same with Timbaland

I think it will be bigger then us in 2019 or 18, just because im starting to think these people that make love songs and rap songs are starting to sound familiar

In my opinion theres great artists in the genre but i think it could probably negatively impact people.
