If you look beyond your typical American stereotypes then you will realise that that the majority of us don't say 'Jolly Good, I would like some Tea, Tally-ho.' Like I'm sure the majority of the yanks don't say 'USA good, Iraq BAD! BOOM BOOM BOOM! Hey, where's my burger? OOPS! I lost it in between my third chin. BOOM BOOM BOOM!' And that goes for Canadians aswell 'What's this all aboot aye?' I'm pretty sure we got ther pick of the accents really.

GOOD point!
On another note if you want reasurance that UK Hip Hop is on the up, just check what Chuck D said about Kano's performance at the MOBO'S(the British equivalent of the Source Awards or Vibe,etc).
And I quote; "The Most Exciting Thing I've Seen In Years!"
The thing with the UK we still have that purity that the U.S(in general) has lost to corporate interest. So we are allowed to be a lot more experimental with our art.
Also check for an up and coming British artist named PLAN B,
He sings his own hooks, produces his own tracks and spits fire on the verses.
And another group called MATA FIX(pronounced;'matter fix') who also sing, rhyme and produce their own work.
