Any rapper who's name begins with Lil' isn't anyone I have any time for.
lil wayne is the best lil out there.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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
Nope I am a Grime FanQuote:

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.
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.Quote:

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)
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"
Its pretty good. The background tune is very familiar.
Are you serious?!Quote:

they didnt put it on BET cuz a white person was rapping in it. lol, ive never seen a white rapper on BET before.
btw i didnt like taht song :p i wasnt feeling it

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
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
My bad.Quote:

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.
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.
gannondorf are you white?
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.
White is a skin color, not a nationality. My family is cuban and we're all white.Quote:

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
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.
Dizzee Rascal got best UK male in MOBO awards
Amy Winehouse got best female
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.Quote:
