Why Are Americans So Close Minded When.....

[HarlemDiplomat]

And I was actually unaware of foreign rap until my dad came back from a cruise (he was in the NAVY) and he told me that Europe had some good rappers and they were gonna "blow up" if they ever came here.

Guess it never happened.

France is in a very high level in the rap game..I can compare the French productions with the American productions..

Check this vid out..One of my favorite beats ever..

French rappers have funny accents.

it was ok but i can put in a lot of cds id rather hear. theres many reasons- cause they talk about things we relate to and about places we grew up in-homw stories, I cant always relate to a for. countries background. We grew up with that music and it brings back good memories while for. rappers dont. Mainly hip hop evolves and so usa is the most advanced

I can't believe they brought back this thread.......anyway, like i've probably said somewhere here already, american hip hop will always be first in my eyes because that was the music I grew up with and enjoy a lot to this day, but uk hip hop has come a long way these last few years and a lot of the mc's I like I would rank them up there with some of my stateside favourates (yes they are that good) plus I relate more to uk hip hop for obvious reasons. Saying that though I listen to an awful lot of latin hip hop too because again it something I can relate to as well.

same with Canadian rappers. There is tons of talent out here now, but no recognition.

I think Canadian rappers get more love in America because they don't have the same obstacles that the uk has for example. I look at Swollen Members for example, they are Canadian yet if someone didn't tell you that, you probably wouldn't know the difference. Of course this is the view of the majority of uk hip hop heads.

when it comes to UK hip-hop, I dont think its that Americans are close-minded or whatever, but the fact that most Americans find the British accent annoying.

I have heard some nice hip hop from the UK, but I dont think I could sit threw a whole album

Fine That's your bloody fault. We will not change just to cater for you

You cats are so ignorant.

What obstacles does the U.K. have that France doesn't? France is the king of rap in Europe but still doesn't get any reconigion. You are just agreeing with these clowns for all I know you could be American. And B.T.W., there is no such race as "Latin", they are white as well.

[TAURO]

Mr.MMA I see what you're saying.

[Wu-tang Fan]

Shut up you wanker.

I wasn't comparing the uk scene to france so I don't know where your point stems from. I actually think that france has a much harder time to convince people because they don't even rap in english. I do agree that french hip hop rules europe in terms of quality, but the uk is making it's own mark thats for sure.

Ok now for the rest of your rant.

1.born and raised in London bar 1 year in South America. I rep west and south west london.

2.You don't know shit about latin people so before you write something stupid, I advise you do some research first. Latins are a mixed race, thats basically all im giving you...google the rest.

Nooo, Latin is just what Spanish immigrants call themelves because they feel left out of the racial nonsense and that is so prevealent in America and couldn't claim Irish. Also, they are white!!!
