In terms of lyracism and flow you can't deny them.

how do you post embedded vids?

derp

Uk rap is decent, i do like Dizzee, especially his old stuff before he became quite mainstream,as well as others, the ones you posted are good, however i have to admit theres always a space on my ipod for american rappers such as eminem, biggie, 2pac

wow really liking the first link

like yeah sure i like US mainstream rap, pac, biggie, but the message in your first link is pretty influential, better than what US rappers rap about definitely

I agree

Even tho there is good UK rappers....hardly

american rap was good in the 80/90s

First akala was good

It's really gone downhill. I don't even like eminems newest stuff, theres no biggies/pacs anymore, i can't really think of any american rap i like now.

Nah, some uk stuff's alright, but even the last decade can't compare... the roots, dilla, kweli, mos def, madlib etc etc..

sickest hip hop group about right now, imagery is crazy

first link the guy was prety fucking awesome.

Watched the first link and I must say it was pretty fucking good

rest was gay

I didn't really think it was that good? I usually don't like freestyles as they're usually shit. I do love UK hip hop and grime, Plan B has just totally blown my mind - in before quote and change that to cock - in the sense that his older stuff was so aggressive and hard where as his newer stuff is just totally not, yet he'll still put in something that is, a cheeky one liner or something. Can't wait to see him. Anyway, your links were shit, but I agree with you.

First man was proper. The third was decent; he mentioned a group I just started listening to:

First guy was pretty great.

Mainstream american hiphop blows UK hiphop outta the water.. dizee rascal only brit that comes to mind

EDIT: id even rate new zealand hip hop above UK's.. but im biast obviously

pretty much all mainstream hip hop in America is really really bad. I can't even imagine good hip hop because of it and have never explored the genre because of it lol.

your missing out then lol

nah mayne we got weezy f baby come to take a shit and urine

I like Example, thats about it. Not really a UK > USA / USA > UK because I hate 95% of rap/hiphop.

Aussie Hip Hop > both

only because 90% of the artists are white and i HATE black american/uk accents

Yeah it's not better.


Check out me denying it.

Akala had a good message in his song but his accent was a bit annoying, I'm sure people from the UK feel the same about Americans . But nonetheless the message prevails.

uk rap you kidding me.........

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY_nXi9klkY...feature=related

We're shown American accents (TV/films) more than you're shown English ones, so it annoys us less.

That first dude was good but most rap from the UK is incredibly retarded, there's a lot of good rappers from the U.S. so yeah I wouldn't say we have better ones

aussie hip hop is so shit, you're a fucken idiot

if you class race as a reason to judge a rappers skills then how can your opinion be credible? but anyway just to prove you wrong

jehst is worshiped by aussie rappers







and some black UK artsists who don't fit your stereotype

Doesn't matter where you from, you ain't no Nas.


Also; the Akala guy was quite good - does he have any other stuff like that?

Edit:
If you guys would understand I'd link some dutch hiphop; I'm sure they out-class a lot of American/UK hiphop when it comes to lyrics.

I like Dizzee Rascal

Some good songs if u like uk hip hop its the way forward grime is dead and US mainstream is fucking garbage.

Your gonna call Mainstream Hiphop garbage then your first song is a guy using autotune lol.

kid cudi, usa wins.

UK hip hop is worse than southern hip hop.

You know theres alot of good southern hip-hop right?

If by "alot" you mean not much at all then yes.

sup USA

and the beat he's using is 3peat lol

Outkast, Scarface, Goodie Mob, Bun B, UGK, Z-RO, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, J.Cole, Jay Electronica, Little Brother, David Banner, and Big K.r.i.T. If you think about just as much if not more good music is coming out of the south right now then any other region.

I think you're even able to hear Lil' Wayne on it, cause in the start you hear the "maestro.." thing going.

And damn; did you listen what he talked about?
You call that not mainstream and commercial?

L O L

Rick Ross - garbage
UGK - 50% dead
Jeezy - refer to Rick Ross
David Banner - isn't he a producer?

Some good ones you forgot though; Screw, Devin Tha Dude, Jay Electronica, T.I, and 9th wonder. Prob missing some too but yea.

I'm ok with you calling Jeezy garbage but Rick Ross is actually the most improved rapper out there. Listen to Deeper Than Rap if you don't believe me. And yeah I had Jay Electronica on the list and I forgot about T.I. David Banner has been working with 9th Wonder lately and they've been making some serious heat.

weezy is still alive as well imo

What does the tune have to do with anything being mainstream lol?? mainstream hip hop talks about shooting and drugs etc rofl ??please get the fuck auta her with that soulja boy bullshit

Autotune not the tune what were you living under a rock to not know what that is? And again your gonna say that Mainstream is bad because of shooting yet the beat in your 2nd song starts off with shooting? Please don't talk about something you know nothing about lol.

I said most main stream music does *not* talk about that shit u bomba. None of you know shit all about uk hip hop so you wouldent even know what main stream uk hip hop is,so how you tryna tell me about wats main stream and wats not. This is main stream uk hip hop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBIccKpKNwo, and its just as garbage as yank mainstream hip hop.

You were trying to say its better based off those videos when it wasn't.

I was not actually trying to say its better based on those videos ,I was just saying here are a few good tunes that have come out recently *or that iv heard*if you are a into uk hiphop, well in my mind anyway =p
