Alright there are afew groups Hilltop and 1200 they aint bad, but if putting on a accent is fake and not "real", how about Australian producers sampling American stuff ? to me theres no difference, if their going to be so aggressive about rappers using accents then they should go all the way to down to production, use Australian only samples, if they really want to reperesent. to me thats fake !

Yeah its weird, but it just goes to show how diverse Hip Hop as a culture really is. Somethin that started in the BX and now is world wide is pretty cool. Accenys bug me out, but all different American have accents too. We're just used to ours.

yknow, accents don't really bother me. i mean, yes, of course i like to be able to understand what they are saying so if the accent is too heavy it's not so great. but like, lol, i'll just use bliss n eso since i'm all about them right now, like, they definitely have an aussie accent. but it's perfectly understandable and it's some sweet shit. accents really just don't bother me. and british hip hop, fuck, that's all good too. i don't mind an english accent one bit. i actually find it refreshing to hear something a little different. so accents for me, are all good.
one thing that's weird for me though is listening to rap in another language. ex. MC Solar. like, when i heard that shit, i was like, ehhhhhh, i dunno about this. some languages i think just don't sound that great for rapping. like, he does some songs in french, and some in spanish, and some in english i think. and the french ones i was never diggin that much. but the spanish ones, even though i couldn't understand it, it just sounded good. the french just didn't flow with me. i dunno, but that's my take on it.

Man im a little biast but i think hip hop was definaly made for the english language. It dont mean to sound ignorant or anything but other languge stuctures arent the same as english so i dont see how u could get the same poetic effect. English is a very flexable language.

I have no idea what Solar ever said but I enjoyed his first album. I thought the French flowed well. The point for me is that I enjoy foreign rappers in their native tongue, not english. They abviously lack the flow, as would if I tried to rhyme in Cantonese. As far as accents go, I've never heard an Aussie MC, so I can't touch that, but There are plenty of tight Brit MC's. And really how would a Brit or Aussie accent in a flow be less legit than from Dirty South or Midwest? Its all English.

i have nothing against rappers with accents, but being an American, it does take some getting used to. I actually think its dope to see how far Hip Hop has gone in the world. I dont know if i could handle hearing a guy flow with a thick japanese accent though, they'd be saying all their L's as R's like "im the irrest emcee, to ever frip a track".....lol

no offense to anyone from the uk but i cant stand listening to english accents for very long, i cant watch movies with them and i cant listen to music with them. if its subtle then i wont really mind but if its strong then i cant even listen to 2 minutes of it.unless i know theres sum diehard bloody battles in it like braveheart.a lot of people might think the same of my boston accent when i go to diffrent parts of the country people are like what the fuck are you saying,but the ladies get wet over it

As long as the beat is fresh and the mc has a tight flow, I don't care about language or accent...because to me it will still have that feeling. I've always been more about the beats than the lyrics though...so that may explain something.
