No disrespect or anything I just wanted to know this for a long time How the hell does rap and hip hop get so well known to other countries? I see Suge Knight and like MC Eiht and all these other rappers that alot of ya'll be knowing and how do they get familiar in your country? And like ya'll know so much about America and shit but I barely know anything about whats going on in Europe etc.. Is it cuz ya'll just smart? and we or maybe just me is so dumb? I mean I never hear no foreign artists except for like The Beatles or Elton John. I'm just surprised that ya'll know what the fuck Death Row is and who T.i. is..Or do ya'll just know it all becuz of the internet?

I'm just surprised that ya'll know what the fuck Death Row is and who T.i. is..Or do ya'll just know it all becuz of the internet?I like this question...If U think itz kinda strange that people outside from tha US know so much about hip hop these dayz check this out:I been listenin' 2 hip hop since 1986 it really got me started when I saw this documentary on Dutch television called Big Fun In The Big City by sum Dutch/Belgium people, now this was 1986 can U imagine these muthafuckaz actually goin' 2 tha Bronx and shit interviewin' people like Grandmaster Flash, DMC, Schoolly-D?? They showed footage of block partiez in Queens, Schoolly-D and DJ Codemoney live on stage, Roxanne Shante and Bizmarkie live on stage, MC Shan live on stage, Run DMC in tha studio etc etc etc... They played alotta hip hop classicz in tha documentary as well; South Bronx (BDP), The Bridge (MC Shan), I Don't Like Rock N Roll (Schoolly-D), Say What U Wanna Say (Luvbug Starski) etc etc etc... My moms shook her head but I was like I'm feelin'this...Now at tha same time Dutch radio had 2 programz dedicated 2 hip hop, itz 1986 goin' into 1987 and artistz like Public Enemy, NWA, Salt N Pepa, Schoolly-D, Eric B & Rakim, Just-Ice, BDP, Ice-T, Heavy-D & The Boyz, Run DMC, TLA Rock, LL Cool J, Whodini, Mantronix,2 Live Crew, B-Fats, Kid N PlayI can go on and on are gettin' airplay on Dutch radio (no radio editz only tha explicit versionz)...I was like 11/12 yearz old at that time wit NO internet, NO The Source, NO XXL, NO MAJOR exposure of hip hop in tha Dutch media, and I was recitin' rap lyricz on tha schoolyard from songz like Saturday Night (Schoolly-D), Public Enemy No. 1, Dope Man, I Know You Got Soul, We Want Some Pussy etc...Tha point I'm tryin' 2 get across here iz even WITHOUT tha internet or other modern technology hip hop has alwayz been big and known around tha world even 20 yearz ago!!! If I needed info I just listened 2 those 2 programz on tha radio or read Dutch/UK muzick magazinez that supported hip hop and I actually listened 2 tha lyricz of rap songz...U took MC Eiht and Suge Knight as an example: I first heard CMW in tha spring of 1990 and as far as Suge Knight goes muthafuckaz around here knew who he was before Snoop'z Doggystyle dropped...And 4 all y'all (older) UK catz here; I remember readin' NME, listenin' 2 Hijack, Derek B, Faze-One, The Cookie Crew, Silver Bullet, Daddy Ashford all that real UK hip hop shit from back in tha day...Hip hop iz truly large and universal, alwayz has been and alwayz will be!!!Pz

Damn, my first exposure to hip hop was Run DMC in '86, when kids in the playground were getting into it, and even then, I didn't get into it until later, and I've lived in Southern California my whole life. It trips me out that Europeans were exposed to hip hop even 20 years ago.
