Disc-Overy was an amazing album

Tinie Tempah is one of the gayest/corniest 'rappers' of all time.

He used to be ok back in the day with some early grime, but the only new track of his I can stand is 'Pass Out' because it is crazy when it's played in the club, and the instrumental is good. All the rest = disposable bubblegum pop

Exactly.

It's like someone hearing Not Afraid / Love The Way You Lie and think Recovery is absoloutely amazing, yet they don't give a shit about SSLP / MMLP / TES because it was before their time.

Im not a big fan of Tinie, but some of his songs are good, new and old. Pass out and Tears are probs my fav from him. I like his verse on 'Game Over' :8) And Let Go is a really good song.

At this moment in time, Lowkey is better than any American rapper. I'm from England so obviously I'm not bothered by any accent - I don't even notice it.

Based on his 2010 stuff and the first song from it, his album could be one of the best of all time.

Do you know when it is coming out?

The accent doesn't normally bother me at all but it is a little weird when you're used to the voice of american rappers. Sometimes it's kindda hard to believe they can be tough guys cus the accent makes them all sound like gentlemen.

1. Stop being close minded about voices, i find copyrites voice annoying but i still listen to him and love what he makes.

2. Anyone who backs the 'Eminem>Possessed' (not career wise but as of these last few years) are just incredible stans who wont let anyone be better than eminem in there heads.

Possessed is probably the best lyrical artist ever. his battles were always fun to watch and his rebuttal game is incredible. His songs are just on another level with punchlines and wordplay.

to end 4 pages of arguing. if you dont wanna listen to UK artists then be close minded and dont play there music, no point making a thread about something stupid.

Some people genuinely see Em as the GOAT, it's not because they're "Stans", because if that as true, then A LOT of Stans are in the world. I haven't come across a rapper who I can listen to over Eminem, I'm sorry. I like other hip hop, but Em's music speaks to a lot of people. Despite lyrics, despite his voice, despite whatever flaws he may have, he does what he does extremely well. As an artist, Em is one of the best. It's not all about lyrics and multis, it's also about passion, execution/delivery, the message, the music itself. That's how Em is the top selling artist of the last decade, he's versatile. Don't be mad that your rapper's not getting props because he can't expand his horizons, no matter how great his lyrics are

Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

To be fair, it is absolutely ridiculous that about 4 people on this forum genuinely say Possessed is great when there's fuckin 20 people following PK around championing Lil B

What the fuck are you on about?

"makes them all sound like gentlemen"

What do you think this is?

Not everyone talks like the Queen in this country fam.

Here is Big H speaking. A guy born in Birmingham, England....and brought up in London, England.



And here is Prince William and Kate Middleton.....the future King & Queen of England



YOU SEE DA DIFFERENCE FAM?
