--- End quote ---
LOL @ Realer
And nah, they aint all from london
Aspects are from bristol, I know theres a really really really funny outfit from down around there called "The Verbal Wurzels", I saw them warm up for Aspects one time, they gotta be local wuith a name like that (think someone said Frome) I know Aspects work with a couple welsh kiddies from just over the bridge, I think one was called Junior Disprol
I know there are tons more groups in bristol, and south wales, and i bet if you look you can find some around you

Yeh, he is.
There's a lot of dope hip hop coming out of the UK for sure. Really been getting into it lately. Jehst, Task Force, Braintax, Beef Eaters, Roots manuva, Rodney p and all those cats.
The australian scene is also becoming very dope. Check out these artists:

Old groups like gunshot, brotherhood and hi-jack were amazing...
...in those days uk hiphop was right up there with the us..
...its is more real...many ghettos here with guns n drugs n gangs running tings but uk has that other flavour to it as well...
...racism in a realist way, politics, corruption commercialisation etc etc...
...check out brotherhood - elementals one of the best albums for lyrical content around...the sound is very different...very very dark
um adam...a lot of people in the uk around these times were jamaican..most of my "crew" i grew up with were 1st gen jamaican or their fathers were ...thats why a lot have that accent...
in london / bristol etc you will find most people of ethnicity are from there.... as they have a brigish nationality on their passport's!!!
It aint about trying to be anything else...
...but saying that i gots a bit of accent when i rap over tunes because that what we grew up with ...ive had love for hiphop and been listening to it for nearly 20 years...i dont think it matters where you are ffom as long as you got love for it and its decent...
...move back to 90/92 one of the best groups around were uk..one of the others were south african...
..so who really gives a flying f**k ?

Don Rizzle:
uk hiphop fucking heavy, i seen blak twang live 3 times now, rodney p, skinny man, mark b n blade n few others too. ppl shudn't underestimate that stuff. uk seems to do it real big in japan, i mean who heard of funky dl? not many n he outsells jay z over there! we getting closer to bringing out the scene with 1xtra n that i just with they'd put it on fm they don't need the whole 97 to 100 for radio1. and mtvbase shud spread the love too. when fusion n tee max were on there thye'd do their bit but they got fired for not being comercial enough. and what happened to the uk hiphop hour that always used to be on westwood on a friday even if it was 1am - 2am it was better than nuthin i keep getting a blank when i think of the dj's name (i keep coming up with cypher sounds lol)
the french government sponsered their hiphop scene which helped it alot, but unfortunatly that would never happen over here.
seer i dunno if i told u this b4 but one of my ex's saw aspects in southhampton a few months back and now she is a huge fan, its when ppl see the artists live i think its when they really get to appreciate how talented they r.
On The Edge of Insanity:
Definitely lots of talent in the UK, and we survive most of the commercial bullshit.
One artist you should definitely check out is Cappo from Nottingham. His album "Spaz The World" is really dope, the production is amazing, and he's a pretty nice MC, one of my favourite albums this year actually.
