It's a much more accurate sound of Britain. Grime is our true hip-hop contribution. I think Dizzee Rascal and JME are the best of the UK. Dizzee's first two albums are something to behold. 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.
