Yeah, because in North America every hip-hop fan is rocking dress shirts and speaking proper english. Rock baggy clothes? Funny, cant say I've ever seen North American hip-hop fans rocking XXXXL jerseys and tall-tees...oh wait...that describes about 70% of the North American hip-hop fanbase.
I hate foreign accents.
What do yall think about this cut here? Ol' boy is right here on the Corp and is British but his flow is slowed down, atleast for this cut......And to be honest. it don't annoy me the way the accent usually does.
Do you think it'd be a lot more tolerable if British dudes slowed down the pace something like he did in this track? Post some feeds on what you think. peace
It just sounds like about 90% of the hip hop I have been talking about, clearly I think Eric you just haven't heard enough uk hip hop to make an accurate assumption as to wheather you you like it or not, althought it should be noted that the mc was rhyming in time with the beat so it clearly depends on what type of beat he rhymes to.
Heres a track by one of the dopest mc's in london, here he rhymes on a slow beat so have a look and tell me what you think..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRu_OA0r0RM
personally i dont really like all this shit that is coming from the south its not only making rap look bad its basically dogging luda....outkast..etc... its pathetic.... to me but w/e european hip-hop hmmm well i havent heard much but idc if they do it or not.....
who's going to stop them? i mean they should do there thing hip-hop rap w/e is universal i mean NYC is always going to be in my mind birthplace of the BEST MC"s ....wu-tang.....rakim....etc...
if europeans were to rap and rap about ghettos i wouldnt care much either because there arent just ghettos in the USA and there are not many ghettos in africa since everyones poor in the first place but i must admit if a eruopean raped about there bling......i'd prolly die of laughter.
I do think GENERALLY SPEAKING that a lot of american fans can be a little closed minded and fickle, hence why someone can sell 4mil one album, and not go gold on the next, whereas in europe artisis tend to be a lot more consistent and have a loyal fanbase. That is why Wu is a fairly consistent seller in europe whereas the world knows whats happened to them in america over the years. Maybe its Eruopes detachment from what is 'cool' in America at the time and we therefore purchase music from artists we are fans of, irrespective of whether they are hot or not in america. SAme reason why new fads dont tend to explode in europe the same way as in america, only the biggest rap fans will know who Paul Wall, Lil Wayne etc are even tho the south is explodin in America. thats just my take on it anyway
Peace,
first of all theres alot of hate against UK Mc's on here, i cant speak of other countries from europe but i can speak on UK. First of all if u dont understand the lyrics because the accent is different then ur just DUMB str8 up...we talkin f-kin english and thats all there is to it.
Someone here said "i hate all foreign accents"....um lets get somethin str8 here, if u speaking ENGLISH in your country of America then YOUR accent is foreign lol....its not a big deal but you can easily rebuke ignorance with more ignorance...you speaking the english that came from Britain, that was brought to the lands ravaged by your forefathers.
people that get pissed of wit UK accents are probly talkin about the "cockney" style which im not really feelin' myself but u obviously havent checked other peoples work on here, no one i work with raps cockney we rap str8, and theres a hunger here which is lost in mainstream hip hop in the states, with their materialism..
America is the birthpace of hip hop and its king...all the best MCs have come from US (apart from slick rick) but that dont mean 20 years later thats still the case, when i was in NY 3 years ago, all i herd bumpin from car speakers was Usher and Lil Jons "YEAH!" WHEN DAT TUNE WAS OLD NEWAYS, i heard NO real hip hop, and i was there for 2 months, the radio played "Lean Back" the whole summer....
when i popped in "only built 4 cuban linx" to the system where i was workin the puerto rican brother was like "oh shit i aint heard this in years!"
so dat ignorance gotta stop, see more of the UK scene before you comment!!!
I thought its because the retail hip-hop albums are hard to find in stores in North America from Europe....only Rock mostly...UK rock is sick.
Its the same thing why almost no one listened to southern hip-hop other than the southern states....those old eightball, convicts, al kapone, k-rino etc were hard to find in the stores anywhere else.
Even where I live, I wanted some Ray Cash and Tech n9ne...they dont sell them here around Toronto....when I go to a record store in Michigan, Ohio, or upstate NY, they have all of the midwest artists.
^^^But there is the internet, you tube acts as a great way to view foreign vids while places like ebay enable you to get hold of such albums.
