How ghetto are you? Probably not as ghetto as me, 'cause I'm from the streets BIATCH!
And how much better is good rap when it's from the streets? Not as good as it is when it's from the streets of LONDON, BIATCHES!
British Hip-Hop is on a high, with more and more mainstream coverage than ever. I often implore you folk to listen to Zane Lowe's show on BBC Radio 1 (available online or on Sirius) but know you probably only entertain the notions of "that british guy Erick knew" minimally. So, I thought I'd make it easy for you. If you wanna be cool, impress your friends with your varied knowledge of up-and-coming acts in the UK underground scene, and the next big thing to hit the US then check out the following:

I think I liked Ka-no the best. The first guys sounded real American... the other dudes were aite.
ReplyDeleteWhat about more bombastic west-indian / caribbean dudes?
Zane Lowe is legit... he could kick Ryan Seacrest's ass with one hand tied behind his back.
