Hip Hop Chit Chat: UK OR USA

^ Word barely anyone has mentioned Jehst, Klashnekoff, Phi Life Cypher, Task Force, Skitz etc... if you havent heard any of that you're missing the whole UK hip hop scene...
And they do gigs n stuff.. saw a big UK hip hop show at Rawganics recently..
Anyways.. even though the UK has some good stuff, it's still catching up.. while in the US they have crappy commercial stuff like G-Unit and Ja Rule, there's major talent in the underground scene... Aesop Rock, Vast Aire, Supernat, Slug, Copywrite... so I voted for USA.

The UK does have some rough areas.. they're generally up North or in London though lol.
But there's loads of good hip hop artists, not just sucky garage. And who says hip hop just has to be about guns, pimpin hoes and stuff? Thats usually just the wack shit.

^ Nah he's alright lol
There are some striking similarities between UK hip hop artists and U.S ones.. e.g Aesop Rock and Jehst both have that abstract, complex "difficult to understand" style..

i agree, the streets are sick...

imo Uk hiphop is pritty sick..

you have the underground heads such as Braintask,skinnyman,Klashnikof,Prof Green,Anticon,Pedigree Chumps,Salford 5, Blood n Jones,Doyden D,

But Us has heads like Papoose,Stackbundle,cashmere n ish who im feel'n at the minute

I've gotta say that i prefer the leadin heads in the UK underground scene to the leadin heads in the US undaground scene...like skinnyman, streets, klash, roots manuva, phi life cypha...i think that these guys are a lot rawer and bring a more varied style than a lot of the US heads, i think the US has the better lyricists but for the overall scene the UK scene has more high quality variety and i think UK heads shud be supportin UK artists ratha than buyin foreign undaground stuff

And on the 'coloured' thing, white ppl aint even white!!!! Caucasians still have a pigment under there skin and u dont get a white pigment, the only white people on this earth are ppl that have no pigment under there skin and are known as 'albino' thats why wen u hold your hand against a piece of paper that u can clearly see ya hand aint the same colour (if ur white and it aint recycled )...this is why 'white' people go browner wen they are exposed to 'more' sunlight, there body produces more of the pigment under the skin to protect against the harmful UV rays, because darker colours absorb these rays rather than lighter colours that allow them to penetrate and fuk up ur skin...which is why if u hit up a sunbed too much 'white' people will contract skin cancer

So now you know, u use your mind to judge not your eyes

PEaceful

Ice, I seen ur pic...

briggzy: am from stockport - its a shithole (simply for the fact of the vast number of scallys)
i went to manchester center (arndale area) a while back (i dont go there often) and i was amazed to how many 'normal' people was there, yeah there was the odd scally here and there, but it wasnt like EVERY person you saw was a scally - it was weird to see though

icec: wots wot all that about
an yeah 'white' people are more pink, and 'black' people are more brown
but hay, id rather say am white than pink dunno dont sound as good

PS: i profer US stuff, and am not into garage (like so soild crew and The Streets [i think there over-rated]) but Roots Manuva is ight, not heard much though. and i'll continue to buy wot i like, rather than rep sumfin i dont like

lmao @ Ice with the white shit... everyone knows that... or I'd hope so at least... black people ain't black either, they brown, even the darkest of the dark (and believe me I've seen some incccredibly dark people in person) aren't black, i.e. you put a fraction of their skin against a black piece of paper, it'd stand out clearly.

Back to the US/UK shit, I prefer the US stylistically 'cuz I grew up on it and only found out about UK shit like 3 years ago, when I'd already been into/listening to Hip Hop for like 7 years or whatever... but I agree with Ice the caliber here is better 'cuz you gotta be that much fresher to get anywhere.
