Yeah but theres other parts of britain besides england, wales for example, I mean could you imagine a welsh hip hop artist, except for pi**taking goldie lookin chain.

and why would that be....

thats a very sweeping statement....

It's just the accent.

Iced Gems · 04-17-2005, 04:55 PM

but why its practically the same as an american accent......

uk hip hop has got a lot going for it at the moment, it's not just all about grime or dizee or the bloody streets.....

You mean the accent that stereotypical Americans such as yourself assume we have because you watch too much tv?

Oh and yes, our hip-hop is sh*t.

While American hip-hop is slowly turning into RnB, UK Hip Hop is rising up. You may not know about it yet, but pretty soon I can guarantee you will. And what about the accent, Snickers? Just because it isn't yours, doesn't mean that you have to knock it. To be honest I'd rather have a British accent anyday than an American one. 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.
