I'm expected to be greeted with a ton of boomers who think rap "isn't real music" but nonetheless, to people on Yea Forums who actually listen to rap music, what is your opinion on UK rap? I know a lot of people across the pond can be quick to say it's bad because they don't understand the lingo, they find the accent weird, or they simply don't understand what they're saying, but still, thoughts?
UK Rap Music
Alrighty then this thread is already dying without any (you)s or anything.
This is my opinion on UK rap
i haven't really listened to a lot of it but it's enjoyable. imo it generally has a harsher feel than its US counterpart, which is "funkier"
i like dizzee rascal
Quite liked Slowthai's new album. Mike is pretty cool as well.

MF DOOM is an undisputed legend in the hip-hop world and he had some British blood if I remember it right.

Technically, I guess. Never would have pinned him as such though, just going off how he sounds/raps.
irrelevant outside of the UK
Try living near them. That's all you need to think about.
>try living near them

He's a british citizen though. Doesn't even have US citizenship.
I never thought I'd see Junior Spesh on Yea Forums, ever.
A Junior Spesh is only £2.15 now, not bad with with inflation and London prices tbf
DON'T EVER FUCKING TOUCH THAT
I'm aware. He however doesn't sound like a British citizen, at least as far as I can tell.

I actually really like the british hip hop, especially with the genre bending of rap, jazz, afrobeat, and dub. Tends to be a lot groovier than most recent american stuff, especially stuff like the Mouse Outfit and Loyle Carner
Nothing great about britian

I just hate how their accents translate into their flows and tones. Sounds off.

I like Sleaford Mods, Tricky, Massive Attack, The Streets and to a lesser extent, Dean Blunt/Babyfather. None of that is actually "hip-hop" though by the way genrefags define it. Of the "British hip-hop" I've heard, meaning that which apes the style of commercial American hip-hop, I find it fairy lacking. Brits should just do their own thing with it and not have to worry about fitting into the so called "hip-hop" genre.
Isn't drill music just a sort of hip hop? Grime? Just do your own thing over there, turkey bacon and you'll be just fine.
