American VS English Rappers

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

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

I sorta like The Streets, so English I guess

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?

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

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!
