How to get someone into UK hiphop

Postby mcZu » Sep 29th, '08, 21:21

Alot of my friends do think that UK hiphop is bad, 'cause of the accent.
The point is argue with them that there are great Uk MCs like Sway and Akala for example.
And I came to a point where they want to hear a good UK rapper.
But I don't know what kind of track I should sugest....
There are alot of tracks that I like, but I'm afraid that those tracks would be ''to much'' for a begining UK hiphop listner..

So does anyone have any sugestions, like a great UK hiphop track for a begining UK hiphop listner..
Something like a introduction...

Thanks in advance :b:

some people are just to close minded, i got one freind who says they suck just coz they do even thought he is from scotland like me he thinks there stupid and only americans should do it, i got another who thought like that but now reguarly listens to sway and akala. so its just the way some people are.

That's true, you can't change people the way you want. But you never know, if I sugest somekind of track that is suiteable for begining UK hiphop listners, perhaps then they change their opinions.
The problem is, I can't find a track which covers the area of ''suiteable'' for beginers....
Akala seems abit to much to begin with, and sway I dunno... Chipmunk is more of a grime artist...

Thanks for mentionin me Chet btw :b: ;) You get loving for that

And yeah, ignore Sticcy he's just hating because Bar lives in the UK. :whistle:

I mean if he wants Europe bombed because Bar lives in it then hating a type of music because Bar lives in it's country is not beneath him.

That one is sick, I'm defintly gonna listen to some of their tracks on youtube :happy:

And I don't know if Sticcy really is hating or not ( I frankly don't care...) But if he has arguments to suport his statement, he should use them...it isn't liek your put any effort in trying to listen to various Uk artists...You only say that it's horrible...That isn't really openminded...But it's your opinion, so nvm..
