im not saying i dont know who he is or that hes not good. its just that a lot of other people who listen to hip hop never or barely heard of him. the UK has a lot of good rappers that should be on this list over some that are on it. im just saying that if Royce and Dizzee were to do a battle Royce would win so therefore he should be on there over Dizzee

to the masses royce would win, coz its US v UK and well jsut look at the poluation to see whos gonni obviously have more on there side. but i aint getting into that in this thread.


either way the us got a shitload of wack ass rappers on there trying to claim best rapper alive, why use dizzee rascal, a dope and original mc, as the example of who should get replaced..


hip hop is hip hop it doesnt matter were your from, royce should be on there but he should be replacing the wack people, not a guy with skill, dizzee aint no best rapper alive but neither is wayne and he'll probly win.

don't take offense to this, but not many people outside of the U.K. even know U.K. rap exists, while everyone in the world knows about U.S. rap...

jada wont be in the finals... he may have mad skills but his fan base just isnt big enough..
they shoulda called it the "most popular rapper alive" cuz skills have nothing to do with it in reality... its just whoever has more fans to vote for them.

tash honestly sometimes your so blinded its un-real, go around the world and ask them all if they know UK rap excists then come back to me and say that coz untill then your just being an asshole american thinking america IS the world.


yoshi is from poland, she was at a sell out sway concert, and hes a independant artist.


just coz your knowledge on it is shit dont put the rest of the world in your category. the rest of the world is actually open minded about hip hop, unlike 80% of americans who think hip hop is america's and america's only.

FIRST OFF MOST UK RAP SUCKS ASS. PERIOD! I CAN THINK WHAT I WANT. ITS PROVEN THATS WHY YOU DONT GET RECONIZED. HAHAHA. J/P ITS OK! SEROUSLY SOME IS GOOD BUT I DONT THINK THE UK CAN STAND UP TO THE HIP/HOP RAP IN THE USA. TRUST ME I HEARD A FAR SHARE MYSELF.

SECOND OFF THIS IS JUST A LIST SO NOT EVERYONE GET ALL WORKED UP. ALSO SOME OF THE RAPPERS YOU SPEAK OF ARE THE NAME OF THE BRACKETS.
