Originally born in N.Y. but now I live in Europe (Baltic)
One thing w/o hatin' (coz I wouldn't know the Capital of Wyoming either):
The Baltic ain't Yugoslavia, itz east of the Northern Sea (which is between Skandinavia and Germany), so like Lithuania, Latvia and dood wtf do I know check google maps or somm....
You think you're sick but Godzilla
I guess I am dumb for having to move to the U.K. with my family when I was 8, living there, getting higher education and then opening my own business in the Baltic. Hey, they don't come no dumber than me.
yo this topic is nun but beef, the attitudial and artistic difference or rather a slight otherness of lifestyle and exogenic (citypicture and buildings are usually older than any US city) carnation of lifeform between EU and US has always been real, its tha new world, yo that's why US people like to travel to EU and vice versa, that still does not have to mean where Wu or hiphop itself is bigga, I find the question rather irrelevant, coz shit is global anyway, US music always found new markets in EU, when US was filled up, but still was alive at home, and that hiphop was originally a US/NY flower, nah who TF would doubt that (with roots in Africa btw) so why all the husselin', errybody iz allowed to lissen to any shit them wants
You think you're sick but Godzilla
my last pots righ there, I think NY is different from the rest of the US in a big way and that it is also the most EUean - like city in the US, and that underground hihop or eastcoast hiphop has a very urban/eu flair
thats kinda all

We HAVE our own rappers and hip-hop culture. It's also, I think, quite more alive and visible than in US - not just by rapping, but also by grafiti, breakdancing and everything. Here hip-hop never became a bling exposure shit. And if you ain't noticed, lots of US rappers gave props to Euro hip-hop fans.
What's this shit bout NY rappers? You motherfucker think only NY people are allowed to listen to NY rappers? Nah, motherfucker, don't let them outtatowners listen to shit. Only Shaolin folks can love WuTang. In fact, only Wu-Tang and Killa Beez can listen to their shit.
P.S. Why for fucks sake I even write this? Big thug, you on intellectual level of Soulja Boy.
