[Mahmoud48]

i know some of u dumb asses will talk about Relapse but i liked that album and i understood/liked the accents

YA IM MAD (encase some smart ass says U MAD)

[xxTrigger1989xx]

Some of them I can't stand, but ones like Sadistik are great

[classthe_king]

I didn't like it at first but now I'm fine with it. You just have to give it a chance.

Sadistik is not from the UK

Sadistik is not from the UK

I thought he was? I've only heard a few songs, I don't really know much about the guy. He has an accent, so...where is he from, then?

Are you kidding? So he's from the U.S.? He doesn't sound like it

[classthe_king]

He deffinitely sounds American

Have you ever heard Writes of Passage?

He says

"I'm from the state where the rain will never stop
Hendrix was from and Cobain perfected rock
A place seagulls land where the space needle stands
And fuck Bush stickers decorate people's vans"

[AnalKiddo]

Hate

So

The average American's attitude to UK Rap/Hip-Hop & Grime now is similiar to how people used to dismiss white rappers back in the day. (Some people still dismiss white rappers to this day, but it's A LOT better than it was)

Then The Beastie Boys came out....cool

Then Vanilla Ice set the white race back a few hundred years with his bullshit.

and then Eminem came along, co-signed by Dr.Dre and now you can't move for white rappers. Eminem has even signed a white rapper himself, and Yelawolf will probably go on to be the 2nd most successful white rapper of all time, as a result.

All it needs is one UK person to make it, and I think more American's will get used to it as time goes by, and eventually it won't be much of an issue anymore.

I'm English, and I KNOW our hip-hop / rap scene can't fuck with America. I KNOW. We have never produced anyone in the same vein as some of your legends, and probably never will.

Nas, 2Pac, Biggie, Eminem, Big Pun, Big L, Kanye, Jay-Z etc - legend after legend

There are many reasons for this which I won't go into now, but basically look at the size of our country compared to yours. The talent pool is a lot smaller, hip-hop is more popular in America than it is in England. Hip-Hop is basically pop in America, that is how big it is. Plus, in our country...LONDON is the only real place where there is a large amount of black people in one place. The rest are scattered throughout the country. All the rappers that are relevant in the UK = from London.

But still I think it is small-minded to say "hate the UK accent in rap". Kind of makes me glad to be English as I can appreciate both rap scenes, and not be small minded and dismiss something because of something so silly.

The UK are making movements though, slowly but surely.

Jay-Z has signed K Koke, DJ Whoo Kid is hosting a mixtape with Giggs, Giggs has done collabs with B.o.B and Wacka Flocka and many other examples.

There will be a UK rapper who makes it big in America, it's just a matter of when....not if.

Who would have thought 30 years ago, the highest selling rapper of all time would be white?

[Drug.Ballad]

what UK rappers are people talking about?

I like Giggs
others i think are ok:
dizzee
tinie
devlin
professor green
plan b (first album)

UK rappers are ok, some mix it alot. Nothing compared to American rappers, and no rapper is as good as Eminem

[One Mic]

On a lighter note, here are some UK / US collabs I enjoy.

DISCLAIMER:
I'm not saying these are objectively amazing, nor am I saying this is the best example of UK rappers. Just some personal favs from UK / US collabs only.

Dizzee Rascal Ft. UGK (Bun B & Pimp C) - Where's Da G's?



Giggs Ft. B.o.B - Don't Go There



Diddy Dirty Money Ft. Skepta - Hello Good Morning (Grime Remix)

[Drug.Ballad]

^ how did i forget skepta.

Wheres da G's has always been one of my fav Dizzee tracks along with jus a rascal.
Giggs - Dont go there is my fav song by him, along with Talkin da hardest freestyle, and Hustle on.

Possessed would eat Eminem alive and them shit him out with only one line.
