two words for you here, MASSIVE ATTACK. more intelligent hip hop then anything the states has ever produced. klashnekoff and lewis parker pretty much own everything the US has at the moment. and overlook DJ shadow at your peril.

Sneer · 04-23-2005, 09:20 PM

I guess I should give british hip hop a chance but it seems different....
the culture in general seems similar but the rapping doesn't....I'm not sure what, but there's something that makes it different.....
Dizzy Rascal is the only British artist I've heard and I didn't like his work at all....Are they all like that or are there others??

^no, not all UK hip hop artists sound like Dizzy Rascal
M.I.A is really good she is pushing the boundries of hip hop like no others at the moment. She was not actually British (she was born in Sri Lanka) but has lived in Britain for a long time.

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.
