Well if your only going to listen to 3 artists, it might as well be Snoop, Dre, and Eminem.

[Jay ay Beee]

Scouse bastards
C'mon JORDI

Yo Rud I have met nobody ever in my life from the UK that knows about Snoop - apart from the knowledgable hip hop heads.
In the US I thought it was Dre Em and Snoop but here there is no way that Snoop is popular here with the mainstream

C'mon Alaves!!!!!!
C'mon kick their arses tonight
OOOOOOOWEEEEEEEEEEE

If Alaves win tonight I'll come on here and make a thread cussing Scousers that everyone can jump on.

I live in the North and hip hop is pretty non existant. For exapmle I wanted to buy Kurupts Streetz... but non of the stores had it, and some of the prices they charge are ridiculous (£25 for Nates G Funk Classics).

[Rud]

yeh i know wot u meen u gotta really hunt around 4 shit!

peace!

[Don Seer]

I saw kurupts streetz down here on the day it was released... was I already had the RNS rips(hehhe) of 2001 and Streetz i bought 2001, and planned on buing Streetz a little later.

I finally bought it about 6 months later when I saw it again in Bristol.
