Obviously DR has sold out now and is intentionally just making hits but back when he was doing pure grime... Not many could touch him. Incredible flows.

JME? Really? I think he's terrible.

I agree Dizzee was incredible. The fact he made Boy in Da Corner when he was just 18 is gobsmacking. The only other UK rappers I used to enjoy were Kano and Sway - the latter being hugely creative - but I kinda get bored of their stuff.

I love The Streets but I've never really labelled them as rap/hip-hop, for some reason.

JME is awesome man.

- Over Me
- JuJu Man

He's pretty creative. Makes an effort to be original. That Ju-Ju man for example is class and he's really developing as a lyricist.

Meh, I find it like he's trying to hard to be different and ends up just sounding dumb.

I mean this: Awoh

Just annoying, to me.

I can see his appeal, though.

On him sounding dumb, I know what you mean. But he's purposely sounding that way lmao. He's intelligent, hard to explain but I can hear exactly what he's doing. He purposely says like... Blatant or silly shit in a bold manner.

Like "BOX YOU UP LIKE YOU WERE DAVID BLAINE AND SHIT" and "FURTHER MORE, I WILL SPRAIN YOUR LIP" lmao he's just taking the piss. But when he wants to be serious he's a good lyricist. Like... "This music ting, I'm in at the deepend, I ain't wearing no speedos. Trust me I got this thing on lock - Don't try and look through my keyhole".
