Xray in the UK doing his thing...

[Tornado]

It's part and parcel of the "urban culture" in this country though and it's more or less a social norm in the demographics of 98% of UK rappers. It's as natural as having a shit.

I know this completely, but that doesn't make it any less irritating to me lol

The way i see it, a lot of US rappers have their own form of Slang. so does the U.K. There's always good artist who'll speak with a heavy lingo in tracks

I know, it just isn't me at all, I literally just can't rap or even talk like that at all and it pisses me off because it's a hinderence.

I understand the hinderance part especially. It seems if you don't have the lingo in your tracks, you're trying to be "american", which is the stupidest reason for not liking an artist song. I remember your 2nd verse opening on AheadfOf My Time which sums it up nicely, not every UK rapper lives in the inner city, repping ends, shouting "r u dumb blud?"

Your heroes talk like it too (to a lesser extent)

First of all that's nowhere near as bad as half the shit I hear.

Secondly, they keep it out the music which is all I care about.

Xray stays on beat better than that guy. Plus his emotion isn't nearly as forced. Holy fuck, haha.

I can see where you're coming from on that score (from the video in the OP)

He definitely went a bit OTT at certain times.
