American VS English Rappers

[splodger15]

Well......

Personally I prefer English no not because I live here but because its about life look at Dizzee Rascal his songs are about his life. But American rappers I think are just whack and the English Grime/Rap scene is far better

[VampDude]

Isn't RAP in the UK called Garage? Or is that something else all together?

[SnesR0X]

I sorta like The Streets, so English I guess

[JKKDARK]

is Hip Hop the same?

[VampDude]

is Hip Hop the same?

Hip Hop I believe is the early form which later became Rap, I could be wrong but artists like Run DMC were the first Hip Hop artists which I think in this day and age could be considered Rappers?

[JKKDARK]

In my opinion, the old Hip Hop (aka Th golden Age of Hip Hop) is a lot better than all the shit that appeared later. Run DMC rocks!

[VampDude]

Agreed, the stuff today is crap, and Run DMC were ok...

...Especially with the track "Walk This Way" which either they were featured or Aerosmith was featured, but that was a cool song! :p

[V3N0M]

I didn't even know there were English Rappers! :p

[xg917]

I didn't even know there were English Rappers! :p

haha same thing here. south side 4 time being nd New York 4 LIFE

[Buddy4point0]

i dont think ive ever heard english rap. and american rappers only rap about kiling, raping, molesting, comming out of the closet, ect.

[xg917]

i dont think ive ever heard english rap. and american rappers only rap about kiling, raping, molesting, comming out of the closet, ect.

raping and molesting? comming out of the closet?? <- ur kidding right. killing isnt really the word to describe what they rap about and it sure as hell isnt the only thing they rap about either.. where the fuk have u been?!

[ganondorf]

English rappers? lol, never heard of them.

BTW, there are alot of hip hop music these days that are discriminating to female. But, there are still plenty of great hip hop artist's. And I dont really remmember that much songs about raping, killing molesting. They usually rap about cars money and ladies, not killing.

[kcajblue]

[xg917]

well t-pain is t-pain, u cant change that. compare 50 cent to kanye west for example. 50 talks about money and cars and shit like that, mean while kanye talks about real shit thats going on in life like real rappers should. thats why people think hip hop is dead because people arent talking about the reality in life, they talking about how icy their rims or how expencive their clothes are. but i dont think hip hop is dead, i just think its hit a new era. styles of clothing is changing too. for example to partial rock style (skull belt buckles, tighter jeans that arent as baggy, a chain that comes out of your pocket and u hook on to your jeans, smaller shirts) <- certain rappers wear that type of stuff and it actually looks good on occasions.

[kcajblue]

i have no idea as to why rappers are trying to be like rockers now.

it annoyed me when they started doing that.

[xg917]

not trying to be like rockers. if so then they are making rockers look bad :p cuz the clothes look better on them than on real rockers. but yea idk, i would dress like that SOMETIMES if i had the money to get clothes, now im broke :(

if u heard the song rock man by dj unk, it seems like they are making fun of how rockers act, like head banging and sticking their tounges out like idiots
i think those types of songs are killing hip hop badly.

[pibs]

compare 50 cent to kanye west for example. 50 talks about money and cars and shit like that, mean while kanye talks about real shit thats going on in life like real rappers should..
hip hop in the terms of radio/mainstream is dead, kanye west has alright songs but he takes his fame/popularity too serious like this cover where the poses as jesus http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8FB8FI00&show_article=1&image=large
im not religious but this is taking it a bit too far...

as for hip hop/rap and what it use to be, its all in the underground indie scene

[xg917]

fine then, compair 50 cent to common or nas. there you go! big difference in their lyrics. btw kanye isnt as into the religious scene as he was back in the day :/

[lmtlmt]

australian rap rules all

[splodger15]

For english like Vampdude said it comes under the Garage/Grime scene

But American rappers do the same thing I mean they wouldnt rap about nothing else

UK GrimeArtists:
(This is only a few)

Dizzee Rascal: http://youtube.com/watch?v=86Ok0B9EvZg

[splodger15]

Because a few of them are underground artists Dizzee Rascal and Wiley are famous with Dizzee winning Mercury awards and Wiley and Roll Deep have there own Albums.

JME has his Vinyl Records beats I have one of them.

Skepta is working on a album

Bearman already has an album released

The U.K. once had
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRCBy8hrOIM, which I believe was quite popular as on the music channel called The BOX (a viewer controlled music channel) they were a popular selection amongst the selecting viewers.

[JKKDARK]

There are not black rappers on england

[splodger15]

The U.K. once had So Solid Crew (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRCBy8hrOIM), which I believe was quite popular as on the music channel called The BOX (a viewer controlled music channel) they were a popular selection amongst the selecting viewers.

Yeh So Solid Crew were popular but then they stopped not sure why


There are not black rappers on england
Doesn't make sense

[VampDude]

Yeh So Solid Crew were popular but then they stopped not sure why

Didn't some of the members goto prison or something?

[splodger15]

Didn't some of the members goto prison or something?

Yeh I think thats what happened I also think one of them was in some gun crime trouble

[VampDude]

Yeh I think thats what happened I also think one of them was in some gun crime trouble

Theres a lot of gun crimes, and most of it is because people imitate their favorite rap artists who go around pretending to be gangsters and owning guns for the factor of thinking that guns are "cool" and that people will respect them cause they have guns and such.

[Gizmo356]

I don't like English rap because I won't understand a word they say.

[cal360]

Isn't RAP in the UK called Garage? Or is that something else all together?

No garage is a totally different form of music I know that because I had to do research on most every music style for my GCSE coursework. Rap in England is still called Rap.

[VampDude]

I thought Garage was Rap? Just goes to show that I don't know those scenes (I don't listen to them), but they seem kinda similar thou.

[xg917]

There are not black rappers on england

american white rappers = ***got wanabees
english white rappers = ***gots that no one would be able to understand unless you are actually from england

New York & Miami 4 life

[splodger15]

english white rappers = ***gots that no one would be able to understand unless you are actually from england

Not true you can understand White MC's until Amercia stops writing bars about getting out the Gun on someone

[ganondorf]

Back to the topic, American rap will always be the best.

[splodger15]

Why?

Look at Jay-Z he sung with Rihanna about a Umbrella I mean come on

Get it real

America has no Mc's what so ever meaning you are all rap

[quzar]

american white rappers = ***got wanabees
english white rappers = ***gots that no one would be able to understand unless you are actually from england

New York & Miami 4 life

305 represent!

Anyways, aside from listening to obligatory Pitbull, most all the hip-hop and rap I listen to has little to do with bitches, fo-fos, or spinnurz.

The Roots and Blackalicious are my favorite American groups:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6VNmsp1vL8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnevMn60Unk

The Roots are most known for their amazing live sound and flow. I've seen them before and it was unforgettable, 10+ minute medleys and whatnot.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-dJ6xbrWHQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIJ-aTeya5E
If you look for any of their stuff I reccomend Rhythm Sticks and Sky is Falling.

Then there's all the great rap that is neither: Orishas(Cuban), Infinite Mass(Sweedish), Hilltop Hoods(Australian), etc

edit:
America has no Mc's what so ever meaning you are all rap

MC Chris, MC 900 ft Jesus, Black Thought, Ghostface Killah, Rahzel, Gift of Gab, The Living Legends, q-tip, ...

How many young and upcoming MC's have you got in America.

Wikipedia entry on grime: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grime

[souLLy]

I love so much music from both I couldn't pick. Possibly US because it has the history but there's so much amazing stuff that's coming up from the UK now that excites me more than most current US hip-hop stuff that it's a difficult choice.

On one hand:
Common, Wu Tang, NWA, Pharcyde, Jurassic 5
On the other:
Dizzee Rascal, Kano, Sway, Roots Manuva, Wiley

[splodger15]

Dizzee Rascal, Kano, Sway, Roots Manuva, Wiley

They are whack

[LilSwish722]

Who caresa bout freestylin. Nas And Kanye are two of the most prolific MC's to date.

[dejkirkby]

KanYe is my favourite at the mo, but I voted English because Dizzee wipes the floor with every rapper or MC out there.

[ganondorf]

There is seriously no contest when it comes to rapping. American rap it what it is. If you like english rap, then you do. But if you would put an american rapper and an English rapper in a ring, the americans would win.

And even though you say american rap lyrics is all bullshit talk these days, then so what? It sells doesnt it.

Nas, tupac, B.I.G, 50 Cent, Eminem, Snoop dogg, r.kelly, rick ross, lil wayne, birdman, dj khaled, andre 3000, big boi, the game, young joc, young buck, akon, jay z, diddy the list will go on.

What about english rappers? name a few.

[xg917]

when was the last time i heard news about an english rapper or a concert or tour of english rappers comming to america (never in my life heard anything about it)
at least american rappers are doing it big time
not even canadian rappers :/

[ganondorf]

not even canadian rappers :/

Not many canadian rappers. Mostly pop and rock bands.

[xg917]

english people must not know who lil wayne is cause he is the best rapper alive. so many freestyles and mix tapes, damm..

[dejkirkby]

What is a rapper?


Ah joke, americans for me.

[splodger15]

Eminem

[ganondorf]

english people must not know who lil wayne is cause he is the best rapper alive. so many freestyles and mix tapes, damm..

Lil wayne is the best rapper alive at the moment. No one stands a chance with him.

[LilSwish722]

No. Lil' Wayne releases a lot opf music. it's good but not the greatest. So he is has alot. It's mainly Quantity over Quality. If you want quality listen to ALL NaS' cds. Except I Am, it sucked. Nas is considered one of the greatest God MCs. Especailly after his debut album Illmatic released in 94 and his album Stillmatic released in 01.

Illmatic - 1994
It Was Written - 1996
I Am (Bootlegged unfinished cd) - 1998
NaStradamus - 1999
Stillmatic - 2001
God's Son - 2002
The Lost Tapes - 2002
Street Disciple - 2004
Hip Hop is Dead - 2006
Untitled WIP - 2007

Every single one of them are good enough to listen to first song to last. (Except I Am... for obvious reasons.)

[xg917]

wat i dont like about nas is that he thinks hip hop is dead. rappers could talk about what ever they want and nas cant control that but he obviously thinks he can make this change because hes the "Hip hop God"
ill make sure to check out his cds, i only know a few songs by him

[Mick0204]

Oh dear.
If you want to get some decent ****ing uk rap, then i suggest one of the following sites:

www.lowliferecords.co.uk
www.suspectpackages.com

The DJ Louis Slipperz £10 bag series has pretty much all the big names on it, so try that. Or try the Fist of Jah mixtape by Dubbledge.

**** the streets and dizzy rascal.

Oh and by the way, uk garage/grime is not the same thing as uk hip hop.

Nuff said

[matt2k]

Its all about old school. One of the greatest rappers of all time comes from England.
Slick Rick. La di da di....

Also Young MC. Bust a Move anyone?

Stereo MCs as well

[Vampbri-n]

Wait a moment, zeirs english rapper's(meaning from englend)? I had know idea and zomeone zend me a link?

[LilSwish722]

Nah, Nas doesn't think it's dead. The album name was like that just to prove a point. If he really did think it's dead, he wouldn't be making another album.

[xg917]

and y wouldnt he make a new album? hes trying to save the music with his :/

[LilSwish722]

Haha good point. But Nas isn't the only one trying to do that. Lupe, Common, and Kanye are all doing it too.

[JKKDARK]

american rappers are more successful

[pibs]

ahh the real hip hop sound
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=31723858
i haven't heard much english rap/hip hop been following the rock scene over there though, but i bet its real good, and yeh i know theres ghettos everywhere but enough about that, the message is out everyone knows its rough out there its been said. I live in cali ive had homies killed, so i prefer positive messages in the community and underground is the only place you'd find it in, on the radio its all luv of the money and not of the people.

[LilSwish722]

Check out some of these peoples myspaces, Versatai, JLR, Rara Avis (look those up exactly like that), Atmosphere, uh...and some others lol

[xg917]

Haha good point. But Nas isn't the only one trying to do that. Lupe, Common, and Kanye are all doing it too.

they dont say that its dead though which is good. nas is like dissing hip hop itself by saying it :confused:

[LilSwish722]

Nah, he doesn't even thinking it's dead. He said that in an interview. Hip Hop is Dead means, if i remember, that it's changing and the golden era is dead.

[xg917]

ur sorta right i guess. i just heard an interview about it on youtube

Nicely said bruv. Everyone in this thread is just an R&B fan, listening to wot trevor nelson tells to. Real headz know, check my links from earlier if you want some proper stuff.

[LilSwish722]

hey hey hey. i actually take offense to that statemnet. Nas, Atmosphere (FAR from RnB), Rakim, KRS-One...if you think they are RnB...you need to quit smokin pot.

[quzar]

hey hey hey. i actually take offense to that statemnet. Nas, Atmosphere (FAR from RnB), Rakim, KRS-One...if you think they are RnB...you need to quit smokin pot.

It depends on your definition of genres. Some people see rap as purely a sub-genre of hip-hop, and hip-hop is tied extremely closely to R&B.

[LilSwish722]

i'm talkin about these days. RnB is people like Mario, Usher, Beyonce. They are RnB. Rap is 50 Cent/G-Unit and 50 Cent. Hip Hop is Kanye, Common, Lupe, Nas,

[xg917]

R&B-Soul and Rap-Hip hop arent the same. of course theres mixtures of those genres like the song i dont wanna know by mario winans ft. p diddy for example

well im not really sure how to put it. but does anyone in the states even listen to english rap? :p

[splodger15]

Nicely said bruv. Everyone in this thread is just an R&B fan, listening to wot trevor nelson tells to. Real headz know, check my links from earlier if you want some proper stuff.

Nope I am a Grime Fan

[Mick0204]

ha ha ha. I knew you'd all get pissed off. Its meant to be a thread about whether american is better than uk rap, but no-one in here has even heard any decent uk shit. Dizzy rascal, the streets, so solid crew - top of the pops anyone?

If you can appreciate good hip hop, once you go homegrown, you'll realise its just as good, if not better than, american stuff, I guarantee it.

As for Grime I dont like the beats, so i dont bother with it.

[LilSwish722]

Have you EVER listened to the GOOD american stuff. Like the stuff I've been mentioning this whole time. Nas mainly.

[ganondorf]

Have you EVER listened to the GOOD american stuff. Like the stuff I've been mentioning this whole time. Nas mainly.

I agree. All you guys mention is how bad the american rap lyrics are. You dont realise that there are plenty of good rappers in the states. I am sure that american rap is much better than english rap. There might be a few english rappers that are better than some of the americans, but the majority is very vast. There is too much american rappers that will that is school the english.

Im sure english people know about these great american rappers. But how about america. Do they actually show english rappers? (I doubt it)

Just because there are a few very good english rappers, doesnt mean that english are better. There is completely no comparison. But if you still think that english rappers are better, then go ahead. But if you were trapped in a room with only american rap to listen to, you would find out why american rap is so much better.



(I bet that most of the people who voted english on the poll dont have a clue what rap is. They only voted because they are english. The majority of this site is english anyways)

[LilSwish722]

Oh, I just discovered a long lost gem of mine. Little Brother. go to youtube and search for Little Brother. Play the first video (should be Lovin It) it's incredible and BET actually BANNED it because "it's too smart for the viewers"

[ganondorf]

Its pretty good. The background tune is very familiar.


it's incredible and BET actually BANNED it because "it's too smart for the viewers"

Are you serious?!

they didnt put it on BET cuz a white person was rapping in it. lol, ive never seen a white rapper on BET before.

eminem is white. and I guess fat joe is a tad white, lol.

BET is racist, they only show black people. I remember when I was in Central America and I looked at BET a few times and wondered where the white people were, even the commercials are all black people! lol :rofl:

its not racist. Racist shows your feelings through actions and words. Has BET done anything to the white community? No.

Thats what BET is. Black Entertainment Television.

[VampDude]

its not racist. Racist shows your feelings through actions and words. Has BET done anything to the white community? No.

Thats what BET is. Black Entertainment Television.

Racist to the fact they won't show white people, for example it's like me having a T.V. show and I won't let you on it cause your maroon and the people on my show are all lilac.

[Mick0204]

Have you EVER listened to the GOOD american stuff. Like the stuff I've been mentioning this whole time. Nas mainly.

I used to only listen to US stuff, but it started to get shit, fast. A good example of what im saying, that everyone here can follow, is eminem. First album, excellent, second album good, third album 2 or 3 good songs, fourth album complete and utter bollocks, fith album **** off mate i'll keep my 10 notes thanks! All the other us artists seemed to go that way too.

I didnt have any UK stuff really then (except freestylers but thats not technically hip hop), i bought a Mark B and Blade album because DJ Mr Thing was on there, and from then on my Uk collection went up, and US went down.

If I going US now i will mainly go old skool, and i occainsionly listen to J5, Copperpot, Dilated, Profound, Cut Chemist, DJ Shadow, stuff like that. Ive heard some Nas stuff, time ago, i dont own any Nas CDs so obviously I wasnt impressed.

Have YOU ever heard any decent UK shit, like the stuff ive been mentioning? The stuff in the chart is shit, buy the Slipperz mixtape, you wont be disappointed.

[xg917]

fat joe is puertorican and cuban so he isnt white. but eminem was actually a good white rapper. paul wall was on BET as well. so no bet isnt a racist channel but it was specificly created for black entertainment. and rocsi (the host of 106 & park) isnt white either, shes hondurian. im venezuelan. BET should be hispanic & black entertainment :p

[ganondorf]

fat joe is puertorican and cuban so he isnt white

My bad.

Oh, and alot of times, there are some white people freestyling on freestyle friday (if you watch 106npark, then you know what freestyle friday is)

I also see white people in the audience at times.

[SSaxdude]

Most rappers in America are the same. I like some lesser known rappers like Tech N9ne and some old school rap/hip hop. I have no clue what rap is like in the UK, so I can't make a preference.

[xg917]

gannondorf are you white?

[LilSwish722]

Tech N9ne is good. And that beat to the Lovin' It music video was a 9th Wonder beat. He was the official producer for Little Brother. Yes, they did ban it because it was too intelligent. Not because a white guy was rapping in it (although you don't hear much from Scudda) I only listen to older stuff too. Except the new Kanye cd. It's just great all the way around (disappointed with Lil' Wayne on Barry Bonds though). I got all kinds of good hip-hop. My iPod is filled with it. I usually listen to Nas, Kanye, and Lupe Fiasco the most. Anybody want some GOOD hip hop, PM me.

[quzar]

fat joe is puertorican and cuban so he isnt white.

White is a skin color, not a nationality. My family is cuban and we're all white.

[ganondorf]

gannondorf are you white?

Im all canadian. As for skin color, im brown.

[xg917]

kanye's new album is dope man. sold 900 thou i think, thats wat i heard on 106&park

edit: my bad i think it was over 600 thousand copies sold the first week released
and 50 cent's album was over 400 thousand copies

[ganondorf]

graduation is the best!!

I cant stop listening to it! infact, im listening to it right now. Big brother (I think thats the name) is the best on his album.

graduation is the best!!

I cant stop listening to it! infact, im listening to it right now. Big brother (I think thats the name) is the best on his album.

Really? I thought it was really disappointing, his worst album for sure. The singles are catchy but it doesn't have the songs, the storyline or the skits the old stuff had, just club tracks.
