These are about 4 years old now other than '' NY '' which isn't to old, as i stopped listening to UK rap about then and with there not really being a main place to check new artists/releases other than U-Channel it's hard to find any. It is out in my area anyway as they don't stock them.

yeah roots manuva is dope. TY, as well as jehst. i dig task force as well.


the accent just takes getting used to in my opinion. it had to happen for southern artists. everyone had to get used to the country accent. uk emcees have the same problem emcees have everywhere; a lack of identity and individuality.

the accent is cool, i never really had a problem wit it. Baby Blue got a dope voice and her accent compliments her voice, same thing wit Lily Allen.
Doc Brown be sayin some shit but his accent is too much for me sometimes.
Klash is that dude though.

YO YO YO YO YO YO, rightttttttttttttttttttttttttt, i think i NEED to drop 10pence on this one

right, i am from south london, and i dont listen to no UK artist, heres why. i WILL admit now, that i hate grime music, but i HAVE heard some of the artists i usually say are SHIT actually spitting cleverly written stuff with clever punchlines, i just dont like that style or MC'in.

the reason there are tonnes of shit UK 'artists', is coz they are NOT artists, they see some typical grime song on channel u, then think that all it takes to 'rhyme' is too 'rhyme' the same fucking words wich is not infact rhyming, they also like to makesome wierd noise as aposed to rhyming a word for example ''u dont wanna fuck around with eurghkhkg'' and keep using tht noise instead of rhyming, they are shit and can get videos on channel u tht are home made coz know 1 seems to care tht they are shit. they are talentless and most ov there beats are too.

u then have the UK artists, who TRY to pass themselfs off as sounding american, there are many problems with this, 1 being tht they are NOT american and sound fake (wich they are) and 2) obviously americans wil see them as frauds and dismiss them as cheesey, also, uk cats will dismiss them saying they are trying to be american and not uk.. so they are instant flops.

there dont really yet seem to be that many people, if any, that can make a HIP HOP track whilst just being themselvs and not trying to force some fake style. exept for me, but i just been biding my time ;)

i will tell u now, that Klashnekoff is dope in my opinion, deiffantely alot better than alot of american rappers i hear, check the track murder.

and as far as i think it was relic saying tht uk people saying they will shoot u etc is shit coz guns are illegal, dont get it twisted fam, over here there aint no shit like this tea and biscuit shit u thinkin of. its bare gritty around here man, bare shootings stabbing kidnapings. dont get me rong theres bare waste brehs who act big wen they just nuffing. but theres bare shootings and stabbings round my area that dont even get reported on tv or shit.
--my bad if im sounding vexxd bout this, but i get pissed off bout you US cats thinking tht all london ppl are some posh tea and biscuit drinking peeps, i aint never encountered tht shit my man, all i see is beef errywhere


also more on the original subject, about UK cats trying to sound like they from US, i had peeps accusing me of that shit, but the thing there is, im baller so i hang with loads of cats from the US or who have spent alot of time there, therefore the way they talk rubs off on whoever they hang with. like if u hung with bare uk cats alot, u would start using some next phrases u aint heard before and shit. its natural thing. but i clealry dont force the way i speak. and still have that london slang present in my shit.

..peace!
