Rappers From Outside Amerika !!!!!

[.:N-Imy:.]

How do ya'll feel on rappers that ain't from Amerika. For e.g say somebody from the Scotland, UK was rapping some ill shit would you ignore him/her or buy his/her shit or if a rapper was from Canada etc. Holla back at me. I want some first hand info from Amerikan people or people from anywhere else. Like I only buy Amerikan rapper's CD's but that is cause I really only here of them but if I knew some ill rapper from elsewhere that had CD's on the go I would buy their shit. Do you only buy what other people think is good or do you buy what you think is ill? Anyway holla back for me.

whatevers tight is tight, aint where you from its how you come.

[Don Seer]

for real - if u didnt know they weren't american what diff does it make. (e.g slick rick is originally from the UK)

dissing stuff that isn't american (or even from a particular region) is just being plain ignorant - it makes you a hater.

problem is.. theres not much of anything else out there in force @ the moment.

I buy what i think is tight... and there is tons of slept on rappers outside of america... im from Toronto and we got lots of tight cats that are just finally hitting the american market after like 5 years... people like Kardinal Offishall, Choclair, Saukrates... there all on the come up

Peace

True it shouldn't matter where you come from it's just I hear a lot of people from different boards that people from Canada and Germany have tight shit but are getting slept on. It's cause I was finking about giving the rap game a shot and I just wanted to know how ya'll felt about rappers outside Amerika cause ya'know over in the UK it only ever seem rappers from Amerika are getting promoted and that's how we Brits are into Amerika's rappers where as in the UK u neva here of peep talking about some ill UK rapper or some Ill Canadian rapper. But gimme me some more feedback peep.

not to mention   Maestro and The Rascals are both canadian

[Smooth]

Yeah you can't forget them... there's TONS of dope canadian rappers, Ghetto Concept... Checkmate etc etc

[Don Seer]

the same thing applies to race too... white/latino etc rappers are always singled out as 'representers' for their race/culture

[Sikotic™]

white/latino etc rappers are always singled out as 'representers' for their race/culture

Thats cause they are the minority in Rap. When you see a black guy rappin you might say to yourself "Hey thats natural" but if you see a guy from another race you are more likely to go "Look at this fool". Oh Well, thats American society for ya.

I checked out Saukrates and The Rascals and I like them both. I never even knew much about Canadian rappers until I heard Kardi.

N-Imy:  if youre really serious about rapping and you're coming out of scotland then be sure to come with some original shit. dont even think about attempting G-Rap or imitating Americans cuz nobody is going to want to hear that.

But if you come with something original that represents yourself then its all gravy.

For real bro, if your serious make yourself heard. Alot of British Mc's got American accents these days.

[Smooth]

yo what are some UK rappers? i live in Toronto Canada so i dont really know of any!... can any of yall give me some names?

[Smooth]

Oh yeah Assassin... im glad to see you gave canadian rap a chance... most americans can't be bothered to give anything besides US rap a chance... much love hommie

Peace

[DJ Stew]
