Anyone else feelin the statement (dunno if any of you uk guys listen to it) peeps like klashnekoff, task force, Sway Dasafo,jehst, usmaan are realler then most shit i hear from the us....now i know what ya'll real hip hop heds are gonna say, 'the fuck does he know, he only get's fifty over there', but that ain't tru. In my opinion peeps like jedi mind tricks and canibus and talib are the best from over there. Ok, i don't get know many underground local artists like i do from over here, (Terra firma, villains etc) i jus think that over here, the artist's know they ain't gonna get any money for the rappin, so they doin it outta love then $$$. they never talk about money, it's always on the same level as normal people, rather then the rappers thinkin they the best thing in town.   check the followin songs

    : Ollie Bates - 'Undiscovered'
      Youngun - 'City Breaks'
      Klashnekoff - 'Our Time' & 'Parrowdice'
      Sway Dasafo - 'Why'
      Genesis & Wordsmith - 'Give Me Back My Life'
      Roots Manuva - 'Dreamy Days'
      PQ - 'Jus For Her'
      Task Force Ft. Pegasus - 'Tru To Tha Art'
      Life - 'I Really Care'
     

   It may be debatable that it's better then the hip hop over there, but they def on the same level now. The fact is, we have very few rappers that sell out, Dizzy Rascal was lucky. He ain't that great, everyone's jus on his dick over here cuz they think he's the first rapper from the uk.

People are quick forget about the old UK originals London Posse, and Hijack... we've had our share of us-wannabes too tho... nothin much from the UK has really grabbed me, apart from Aspects, but i'll admit i'm biased because I know 2 of em, well knew, I heard one of em got booted for being too much of a stoner.. lol

i can only remember one of there lines (from the guy that I heard got booted 'bubberlouie' )

i rock around the hills of the south west region / stick my head in caves and rap in natural coleseums

that sure aint talkin about where they live now (bristol) thats talking about here, their home town coz we live in between two ranges of hills (quantocks on the north, blackdowns on the south)

i liked their stuff because I grew up with them and i could related to everything, because some of those experiences were shared... i dunno how it strikes other people.

Adam Donnelly:
Do U really think any of those UK Hip Hop acts could live with a guy like Canibus  ???

Don Seer:
Why not? just because they're nto american, because they might not be black?

its always possible.

UK hiphop doesnt have the bling bling aspect, it doesnt have alot of money in it, the people in it are doing it for love. its more 'real' to us.. which means it wont commercially sell, but it doesnt mean its worse.

UK hiphop still clings to the 'old' hiphop sensibilities.. but hey, Aspects managed to get played on and interviewed on -daytime- Radio 1 when their album came out, so anythings possible.

Adam Donnelly:
U.K Is still behind IMO
U got guys who rap in an American voice which is corny.

Dizzy Rascal claming he is Hip Hop lol Dude need to go back to the studio  ;D
Oh and Bis is from Jamaica  ;)
