Why is British Hip Hop getting worse and worse? i hardly follow british hip hop. i follow US Hip Hop all the way, because its good. British Hip Hop is shit. The latest addition - Estelle, 1980 is the biggest pile of shit i ever heard:

1980 year that god made me
89 i started to get mine

what the f*** does that mean?

British Hip Hop fans I want your views. this sucks

sorry but i think that song is alright, talks about struggling. I am the same as you though, I rarely listen to british stuff, but thats because it is very hard to find, wheras american shit is easy to get...i.e virgin megastores sells non phixon, jedi mind tricks and everything else..

mc call come back about british hip hop when you have heard more than estelle, hook up with some terrafirma, klashnekoff, wiley etc etc.

get educated before you make shitty comments about our rap.

true bristish rap is no way near on the level of the us, but it isnt bad, we dont have enough interest or opoenings for the underground here to spark.

dude i'm british. and i still think its shit. kaleshnikov is ok, but not something to shout about. and for the greatest thing to be Dizzee Rascal fair enough but i'm still yet to be impressed

im british aswell, you cant cuss dizzie either, he is totally unique and that is the most important thing we need in rap.

too true. i think dizzee is a very good MC indeed. i wasn't dissing him. we need more of that. what do you think of the streets?

the streets are bad, i refuse to listen when it comes on.

yeh i know. they suck

the best mc from the uk is me !!!!!

i honestly think i can outrap any of those mother fuckers

SAS are good they yoosed to be called "eurogang" they got signed by damon dash

There's some good UK hip hop like Roots Manuva and Mark B & Blade... i agree on the face the majority of uk hip hop is poor (if i hear that baby cakes song one more time i will throw my radio out the window, can u belive those twats claim they are "underground"???!?!?) but there is some decent stuff.

UK hip hop is givin a bad name by terrible garage groups such as so solid crew but there is some decent hip hop if u kno where to look.

...and finally street hop this isnt a cue for you to start acting like a gaylord again.

u callin me a gaylord?

i agree on babycakes song i already threw my remote at the tv wen i heard that song for about the 50th time

there is about 3 hip hop uk artists thats good

i feel you son. that aint even hiphop its trash rap.

^ word, you're all looking in the wrong places. uk hip hop is dope, and although the production isn't as good as american, the rhyming is much better. artists like wordsmiff, dirty diggers, jehst, cappo, yungun, kashmere and lowkey are all fucking dope. lyrically, i would say uk hip hop is far more developed than american, when you look at how many ill ass rappers there are in britain. poly syllabics are a trade mark of the scene, and also the rappers have a broader vocabulary, and are able to rip a whole track without resorting to saying fuck, bitch etc. to me this makes a big, big difference, as it shows that the rapper is more intelligent, and is accessable on an intellectual level. also being from britain means that i can relate to what they are saying, as alot of artists concern themselves with social issues, instead of the shallow, materialist bullshit that resides on american shores. i have to admit that my favourite artists at the moment are american (aesop rock, cannibal ox, prefuse 73, madlib) but i see more potential in british hip hop. the problem though, is cos americans don't relate or appereaciate the english accents, so selling in america is difficult and therefore uk hip hop is virtually entirely funded by the artists themselves. success has been found in france, spain, denmark and australia cos they have more open minded hip hop scenes, but they don't make that much money from touring australia, cos it costs so much fucking money to get over there.

i only herd of jehst out of the names u mentioned there but i wouldnt say its as good as american !!!!!!

u callin me a gaylord?


lol If u read the what i wrote i was refering to someone else about somthing that happened in another thread

i only herd of jehst out of the names u mentioned there but i wouldnt say its as good as american !!!!!!

"im still ravenous, i feel my stomach acid
keep burning as i work towards another classic
melt ya plastic chat snatch ya comfort blanet
in this cold world your naked and un-attractive
and ya tactics are underhanded
i hibernate through the winter
and wait for the summer madness "

jehst is dope as fuck. trust me.

What about Goldie lookin' chain??????
Naa am jus shittin ya's. i do agree that the streets is shit 2 a certain extent, but u cant knock "blinded by the lights", which is a very good song from him. i do think british rap needs a boost, so thats what some big producers from the U.S, such as Damon Dash, are tring to do in this counrty.

Jhest is dope...

"My Stream Of Consciousness Is Liquid Tranquility
A Turquoise Pool Of Limitless Calligraphy"

I havent heard of most of those artists too...


And that Estelle song was pretty good imo..

trust me, cappo is fucking ill. i think lowkey is the british emcee on the nas album, but not sure. he got some serious subject matter aswell, i heard a 4 minute freestyle all about sudan, it was live.

cant believe nobody has mentioned Blak Twang !!!

How about Tony Vegas & Prime Cuts (Scratch Perverts)?

or The RUF(DJ DAVE - Jeep Beat Collective)?

DOPE BRITISH HIP HOP

Skinny Man, jus heard him live last night in Norwich UEA, supporting Goldielookinchain. he was pretty damn good. lyrical quality is great. i'm not tryn ta be, no big thing. good song, good lyrics, good artist. Goldielookinchain however, they were poor.

skinnyman is dope, he beat eminem in a freestyle battle a few years ago. his album is ill, but i heard most of the tracks before on singles and mix tapes. i think uk hip hop is starting to get some recognition though, the other day i heard tommy evans on radio one, which was a bit of a weird experience...

I first saw skinny man in a UK HipHop magazine - HipHop Connection about 2 years ago. he was in a mark B. and Blade article and i found it really weird when he all of a sudeen pops up with this really good album. i have a lot of respect for him. he touches some really good issues and supports a good charity helping kids. a role model maybe? he would claim not, but i think Rappers out there should take note

Skinnyman is dope...Council Estate Of Mind (http://www.selfdestructmusic.com/councilwindowsvi.html)

He lives 3 roads away from me and yes he is dope

ever bought draw off him?

How about Tony Vegas & Prime Cuts (Scratch Perverts)?

or The RUF(DJ DAVE - Jeep Beat Collective)?

DOPE BRITISH HIP HOP

Saw Tony Vegas & Prime Cuts (Scratch Perverts) last tuesday (5th), they were off tha hook. Illest UK scratch DJs for sure.

Peace

Nah i dont smoke and i havent spoke to him but a lot of people i know hang with him, there was a documentary on him on BBC3 "tower block dreams" and the people i know where in it. My only claim to fame

Chester P hackenbush, Klashnekoff, Dizzee sucks as an emcee but is unique and doing things, Taz is gonna be the next big thing (bowt the same level as dizzee), Jehst, Rodney P, Blak Twang was pretty good but aint herd for a while. C.R.E.A.M cartel.

Whatever you do, dont watch channel U unless your watchin the Illout show which is sick. It's got the worst talent of U.K hip hop and is pretty funny to watch. Listen to 1xtra with Excaliber and Skitz. You shouldnt not like english hip hop cos you cant find it, that means you aint involved in it. You should have local artists and listen to they're material in local vinyl shops etc.

M.C. Call is a loser, like i say the most uk hiphop you've heard is dizzee racal, estelle, klashnekoff and blak twang - the only ones to have airplay on mtv in england.
uk hiphop is wicked, blak twang is amazing, klashnekoff can be brilliant "all i got" & "it's murda" are wicked. listen to roots manuva, mantis, rodney p (just dropped a new album "the future", phi-life cypher crew (are the best freestyle act in the uk, and their album "millenium metaphors was critically acclaimed), out da ville , jehst, fredi kruga (who went to the US for 3 years to learn from US artists), fallacy (bladckmarket boy is a super album) eurogang (who signed for roc-a-fella), and taz (who signed for def jam uk)
best uk hiphop album "countryman" by dj skitz
yeah i heard too that skinnyman beat eminem in an open mic battle, skinnyman's not bad his album "council estate of mind" is deep at times, but i lost respect for him coz i heard he was the support act for goldie lookin' chain on their tour (to explain that whackness to americans who don't understand who goldie lookin chain are and who skinnyman is, that'd be like nas bein' the warm up act for lil' bow wow)
i agree with Aspekt the losers who diss uk hiphop in the uk are people who watch channel u (the channel which promotes the worst in british urban music) or people who watch mtv (coz hardly any uk hiphop is shown, they don't get the chance).
americans can't diss uk hiphop coz chances are u haven't heard any

admittedly I really don't know many people involved in U.K hip hop, although I am starting to find the odd person here and there.

I like very few UK artists but I gotta show love for Dizzee, I think he's great.

arent goldie lookin chain like rock rap?
i seen that shit on mtv and i was like.... whaaaaaaat the fuck

i nearly bought they cd once thinkin it was GLC ha ha

I dont like british rappers at all, because I dont feel comfortable with their voices to be honest

dizzee rascal is dope, and i know alot of folks hate him, but that because of their own expectations. he is mad creative, and he has alot of presence, people shouldn't hate on the man cos he is different, to me, that makes him better.

british Hip-hop is getting better as its getting more regognition

some sick artists/producers....Jehst, Phi Life Cypher, Doc Brown, Lowkey, Broke'N'English, Rodney P, Skinnyman, Task Force, Aspects, Branitax, Mark B & Blade, P*Nut, Harry Love, Roots Manuva, Black Twang, Universal Soldiers, T-Wrecks, Terzarima....etc etc

Neither US or UK Hip-hop is better...they are just different

british Hip-hop is getting better as its getting more regognition

some sick artists/producers....Jehst.... Doc Brown, Lowkey, Broke'N'English,
....etc etc

Neither US or UK Hip-hop is better...they are just different

word. broke'n'english are one of the sickest crews going... like microdisiacs, some dope shit has come out of manchester

i think english hip hop is as up and runnin as eva, americas got more artists out cuz there a biga country, considerin we only the size of 1 of their states, we doin pretty good

Has anyone heard Kano I think he's ill as fuck listen to the song P's & Q's it's real hot

British Rap Is Garbage, I mean thats the truth. Lol. British Emcees will NEVER I repeat NEVER top American Emcees!

^ shut up you prick... Thats like saying a white emcee will never be as good as a black emcee, and thats already been proven to be bullshit...

The problem is, hip hop & rap aren't as big here in the UK so we don't have enough good cats comin up... Dizzee Rascal is actually a really good emcee, you just gotta understand his style. It ain't like Rap from the US, but he's from the UK so why should he give a fuck. At least he's keepin it real an not tryin to be somethin he ain't...

I wouldn't really class The Streets as hip hop or rap... though their lyrics have meaning behind them

Hey, the Streets are pretty tight.

i love UK hip hop ......but i jus gotta say SO SOLID AND 3 OF A KIND (babycakes song) THAT IS FUCKING GARAGE NOT HIP HOP....... AND GARAGE IS BULLSHIT :mad: :mad:

^ shut up you prick... Thats like saying a white emcee will never be as good as a black emcee, and thats already been proven to be bullshit...


I wouldn't really class The Streets as hip hop or rap... though their lyrics have meaning behind them


It doesnt matter what you classify as rap or hip-hop, for you are in the U.K. And saying the streets isnt rap is stupid, because Nas is definitely one of the hottest from the streets.

And I never said a white emcee will never be as good as a black emcee and what I said means nothing like that, thats your assumption! I said "American". I said the UK will never TOP, I repeat TOP American Emcees. So getcha facts straight and try not assume things right off the back.

He meant The Streets, a group from the UK, not the streets like those you walk on...

^ word, you're all looking in the wrong places. uk hip hop is dope, and although the production isn't as good as american, the rhyming is much better. artists like wordsmiff, dirty diggers, jehst, cappo, yungun, kashmere and lowkey are all fucking dope. lyrically, i would say uk hip hop is far more developed than american, when you look at how many ill ass rappers there are in britain. poly syllabics are a trade mark of the scene, and also the rappers have a broader vocabulary, and are able to rip a whole track without resorting to saying fuck, bitch etc. to me this makes a big, big difference, as it shows that the rapper is more intelligent, and is accessable on an intellectual level. also being from britain means that i can relate to what they are saying, as alot of artists concern themselves with social issues, instead of the shallow, materialist bullshit that resides on american shores. i have to admit that my favourite artists at the moment are american (aesop rock, cannibal ox, prefuse 73, madlib) but i see more potential in british hip hop. the problem though, is cos americans don't relate or appereaciate the english accents, so selling in america is difficult and therefore uk hip hop is virtually entirely funded by the artists themselves. success has been found in france, spain, denmark and australia cos they have more open minded hip hop scenes, but they don't make that much money from touring australia, cos it costs so much fucking money to get over there.


^^^Tell these motherfuckers man

People quick to diss UK hip hop when the most artists they can come up with are DIZZE FUCKIN RASCAL? Get the fuck outta here you morons

Low-Key could lyrically rival a LOT of US artists, he raps about real shit, real shit that appeals to the British nation... Doc Brown Jehst Scorzayzee SKinnyman yougun klashnekov, you people probly neva heard of these guys yet you're dissin the UK scene? You need to check facts n listen to what the fucks out there, get off your asses, turn MTV off n listen to some real shit.. N if u really wanna dig into the underground check out the Northern scene, these guys I know (not personally, friends of a friend) from Liverpool called Antiheroes.. They got a Canibus/Slim Shady style n belive me, they fuckin rip it... PFD (Planned for Development) were a sick as fuck group but they split now, one of the members Karlos the Jackal opened for the Beatnutz at UK gig earlier this year...

Honestly people, the UK scene extends wayyyy beyond that radio friendly BULLSHIT you hear from the motherfuckin streets, that short ass prick Dizzee Rascal n the so fuckin solid crew

Lowkey - Key to the Game
^^^Classic by ANYONES standards

British Rap Is Garbage, I mean thats the truth. Lol. British Emcees will NEVER I repeat NEVER top American Emcees!


Wrong; It aint happened yet, but the mere fact that British MC's keep it realer than 90% of the fake garbage that comes outta the States means that we will one day have superior MC's, probably not as popular but, fuck, I aint a commercial puppet anyway..

Record sales, bling, guns, cars, hoes.. Don't mean shit to me

Lyricism appeals to me, n half US rappers are watered down peices of shit

to me i like the usa better but the u.k got their own style they arent better than each other but diffrent !!!

their is a few good u.k rappers out their ....

kano - the best rapper in the uk
klashnekoff - good lyrics
skinnyman - council estate of mind is 1 of the best songs to come out from the uk

thoose i just picked for wats happenin now but u have jehst blade black twang and a few more !!!!

i got both his album but he aint nuthing really his best songs was "blinded by the lights" and "has it come to this"

holla

oh! and that tower block dreams show i seen them all the 1 with skinnyman and the other guy was the best episode !!!

Streets are garbage in my opinion

Yes Don C i was talking about "the streets"... they are a band... hahaahha

And its true, although America has the best MCs, it has the fucking worst too, and i think over 50% of commercial artists are bollocks.... If someone makes it from the UK, they gotta be good...

Agreed, gotta have somethin special about you if you're gonna make it over here, thats what makes uk hip hop so unique, there's no 'run-of-the-mill' MC's each one has tight skills in their own right

Respect to all the UK heads defendin our countries exports in the rap world.. The fact that we know what they dont just means they're missin out

the streets are bad, i refuse to listen when it comes on.

didn't you say something about uniqueness being good? anyway, the streets are good.

U Lots uk hip hop knollage is primative, goldy lookin chain aint even rap, der just taking da piss out of it (but i do like it and find it funny) baby cakes has nothing 2 do with hip hop AT ALL, its uk garage. The streets,Kano,Estelle,Wiley,Dizzee Rascall Have ALL come from da underground uk garage scene, der not even classified as rappers in uk hip hop, der mcs from garage, u would never find them doing songs with REAL UK rappers. M.C. Call shouldn't even b making statements wen he doesn't know shit about it

Lol, look man. What i'm saying is the truth, the truth is hard to face. The UK lacks style they all sound the same. Here in America you got diverse flavor which basically corresponds to what our country is made up of- Diverse People. But thats another story basically what i'm saying is UK rappers all sound the same. I mean who cares about lyricism when the person sounds fucked up? You gotta have style man, personna, character, charisma. These things play into becoming a great emcee/rapper.

I'm not trying to hurt anyones feelings, this is how I truly feel, and I believe I am right.

^^ hey hey...i DO NOT sound like Dizzie Rascal...probably cuz i have a more American style than most british emcees..

Listen to some English hip hop man, you think we all come from London man?

N sayin who cares about lyricism? Go listen to sum Nu Metal or sumthin if you listen to music for no other reason than to numb the brain, lyricism is everything

You CANNOT comment on UK hiphop if you aint heard the half of it, not tryna upset you but its fact

^^ hey hey...i DO NOT sound like Dizzie Rascal...probably cuz i have a more American style than most british emcees..

By American Style I hope you mean rappin style? Cos UK emcees who sound American are the most laughable kind, pretty pathetic really

If you just mean that ya style is like the Yanks do it, then you'd enjoy Antiheroes too.. To the yank who dont know no UK hip hop but likes to think he does, check out Antiheroes too.. If you want persona, there it is hahaha SCOTZILLA MOTHERFUCKER

yeah, fuck dat shit

I SPIT-IT-OUT-LOAD//
I'M EN-GLISH-AND-PROUD//

yeah i mean rapping style...but i dont have a strong british accent anyway...

yeah, fuck dat shit

I SPIT-IT-OUT-LOAD//

It annoys me that your from the same country as me...

But thats another story basically what i'm saying is UK rappers all sound the same. I mean who cares about lyricism when the person sounds fucked up?

^this bitch is taking the piss, right? "here in America you got diverse flavor" - no, you have huge record companies that make everyone sound the same... do you even listen to american hip hop? one sound dominates, now its dirrty south, thats why people from atlanta are producing for people in new york, because the sound is dictated by what is easiest for the record companies to sell, not whats dope. this was one of the most worthless comments i have ever read. why post on something that you clearly know nothing about? fucking idiot.

anyone here like Lethal Bizzle?..

Only if someone cut's out his tongue....

i like him, just because i like garage and grime

If read over all the different takes on this shit nd y'all gotta stop hating!

Here's how im im seeing it.

my favourites have gotta be Klashnekoff, skitz, phil life cypher, skinnyman, rodney P, broke 'n' english, roots mauunva,fallacy, infinite livez, funky Dl, yungun, sway estate agents ect ect ... ..

Up until a few years back I never really listened to a lot of uk hip hop but when i started to listen to it started feeling it more and more. The thing is im from the Uk so the shit that these dudes are bringing I can relate to. i dont wanna hear about some fake ass bitches talking about drive bys and wack shit like that. Dont get me wrong i love some US hip hop but why go buy some milk from the shop when someone can deliver it to ur doorstep.
Yeah at first it took me a while to get used to the british accent rapping but now i prefere the style cause we're not american we're bringing our own style.

No doubt u cats that live in America feel simliar to i do about ur own hip hop??

yo, i posted this, and i'm bored of it. stop replying!!! by the time people stop posting, british hip hop will start getting better. sofuck it!

yo, i posted this, and i'm bored of it. stop replying!!! by the time people stop posting, british hip hop will start getting better. sofuck it!

You should be grateful that we're taking the time out to educate you on UK Hip Hop...

If you've actually followed up on any of the rappers mentioned in this thread you'd realise that it aint levels of skill that need raising, its awareness.

yeh i agree. i have to apologise for my uneducation on the british hip hop front. and an apology from me isn't common. big up to all the british rappers i never heard of :D

^^^Hahaha no worries man, seriously tho you should try gettin into the UK scene.. Its a lot more realistic than most American rap, Lowkey is my personal favourite at the moment

was it ever good hiphop than?

oh wait, never mind, I dont really care

was it ever good hiphop than?

Well you wouldn't know cos life dont exist past your shores, does it?

oh wait, never mind, I dont really care

It aint for you anyway, realism is somethin you might find difficult to get your head round

*Throws a 50 Cent CD*

There ya go son, stick GTA on n live up the Thug Life

anyone here like Lethal Bizzle?..


Lmao... Good one.. Lmfao

Well you wouldn't know cos life dont exist past your shores, does it?
That's weird. So I been listening to dead rappers all this time? Wow, interesting...

It aint for you anyway, realism is somethin you might find difficult to get your head round

There ya go son, stick GTA on n live up the Thug Life
Your mad? Don't get jealous for me not living in your nazi-country.

Don't get jealous for me not living in your nazi-country.

You have George Bush as your leader....and you call us Nazi's?

i thought he was dutch with a good grasp of english, not american. if he is from the u.s though, what can i say but i feel sorry for you.

Whoever made this thread is either a chav or a trendie. UK Hip-Hop is growing as fast as ever and the quality is increasing immensly.. UK Hip-Hop isn't made out of artists such as So Solid Crew.. Dizzee Rascal or The Streets. Emcees such as Kyza, Klashnekoff, Kash's Lil Bro, Jehst, SkinnyMan, Kano, Black Twang and Lowkey are sick and surpass the lyrical ability of most of the mainstream artists in the US such as 50 cent or Snoop Dogg.. It's true US got more lyrical emcees such as Canibus, Chino, Non Phixion, Crooked I.. but UK shouldn't be compared to US.. Whoever made this thread needs to real UK Hip-Hop.

That's weird. So I been listening to dead rappers all this time? Wow, interesting...

I somehow fear I lose braincells everytime I talk to you...

'Life doesn't exist beyond your shores' meaning it wouldn't matter if UK hip hop was ten times what US hip hop was, cos if it aint in America you aint got a clue about it, you see now? Good



Your mad? Don't get jealous for me not living in your nazi-country.

^^^See Twisteds post

UK names that are growing increasingly popular are those such as SkinnyMan, Jehst, Asaviour, Roots Manuva, Blak Twang, and such.

I agree with Multi when he says So Solid and shit aint in Uk hip hop, this is because they are a tottally different music genre. They are dance music artists and specialise on a fast catchy beat rather than lyrics.

And when it comes to UK hiphop vs. US hip hop, UK will dance circles round most when it comes to realness, and relating to an audience. Just look at the SkinnyMan album 'council estate of mind'. The US scene looks to appeal to audiences by showing them what they want to be, look at commercial based groups G- unit and so on.

However UK does have a share of these artists, dizze rascal (sigh).

only british rapper i like is taz, but i havent heard alot of british rappers i go 4 mor da us type
em
dre
eazy
xzibit so on

Taz? Taz? ... Taz Is Shit. U Live In England, Sort It Out

hmm new flash fool u live in da uk aswell u sort it out

i do woteva da fuk i want wen i want

i have sorted it out, u do it.

take my sig for instance, forien beggas - asylum speakers
dats a sikk british album
der da illest of brittan, buy that!

M.C call i agree agree to some extent but i am feeling Estelle and Dynamite wasnt too bad either. overall it is shite!!lol especially with Dizzy Rascal in the mix!!

klashnekoff is a mean m.c with the flow not contended in the UK he cud make it over in tha US, wid the rawness of his lyrics u can tel that guy is hungry! piss all over jehst, and murda is a tune!!! killa kela is baaaaaaaad aswel up there wid razell as the best beatbox in tha world

Yeah Murda is a nice track by Klash.. his collab with Jehst and Kyza was sick!

take my sig for instance, forien beggas - asylum speakers
dats a sikk british album
der da illest of brittan, buy that!


It is.....
As is Phi Life Cypher - Millenium Metaphor's.
I didn't really like U.K hip hop till I heard Jesht.
Now there are ton's of U.K emcee's that I love, and I'm trying to get more involved in my area's hip hop scene.

shit thing is wid british hip hop is that their still fall guys for the british industry, because of the fact that UK hip hop hasnt got a massive fan base compared to some shitty dont even write their own songs pop bitches they get dropped from big labels which means its hard to promote their albums. still in my opinion thought to be underground artists which aint gud for our home grown talent. like did u see that chancers programme on channel 4 that white kid was a raw MC thought he wud've brought sumthin out, but dnt know where the fuck they've all gone. UK got the talent but jus need the backing!!

im a be on 1 xtra in the next couple a months....listen out 4 me :)

alrite man no doudt!

Come on UK hip-hop arent that bad! it coz of the Grime thing and Urban slogan given. The kids nowadays dont listen to real hip-hop, they be listening to Channel U bullshit like Leathal B and shit like that! But they are a few acts that are hot! Look at Roots Manuva, Blade, Klashnekoff, Kyza, Skinnyman, The Planets, The Notts etc... they are good uk Hip-Hop!
-PEACE-

I ain't from the UK but that Lowkey dude is pretty nice and u can actually understand what he's saying unlike some other British rappers.

You have George Bush as your leader....and you call us Nazi's?

i thought he was dutch with a good grasp of english, not american. if he is from the u.s though, what can i say but i feel sorry for you.
Luckily, I am not American.
