Thats a silly statement, my love for hip hop was founded by american mc's, we just don't have to like some of the bullshit coming out now that passes for hip hop in your country.Quote:

how can you know what "passes" as hip hop over here? do you live here? do you honestly take the charts here at face value? or do u realize it's all payola and not the voice of the streets? how can you truely know? you're just grouping together and assuming
do you listen to asian hiphop? what about israeli hiphop? what about rappers from south america? have any of their music?Quote:

No I don't take the charts as face value but thanks to the net I can keep up with what you guys like there and while I do know that people have been voicing their opinions on the current state of hip hop there are still a lot of americans that blindly believe that that hyphy/snap bullshit is hip hop. Don't even deny it Tzu cos I could pull up threads from this very site with people defending that shit.Quote:

I do have hip hop from south america and central america, at the mo im trying to get some brazilian and portuguese rap too.Quote:

i won't lie, i like to listen to lyrics, so foreign languages don't appeal to me... but my biggest hate with hip hop from non-americans, is people who put on false american accents... i hear them with europeans, australians, new zealanders, islanders, asians etc etc... i'm not interested in someone from one part of the world, acting like they are from another part of the world... you know, like dutch-morrocans talking and using slang like they were there in staten island or brooklyn during the pre-36 chambers days...
and also, why do americans have to give everything a try? if they've heard a few different european acts and they don't like them, why do they have to keep listening to find one that they like?
and before you fly off the handle, i'm not american, so don't try with the 'typical this' or 'this is what i'm talking about...' type rubbish...
