A Hip Hop epiphany

[Augustus]

You know, I'm so proud of UK Hip Hop.

It used to be like this, (and not meaning to be mean to DB RIP, but it was a bit...)

And I geniunely think it has surpassed the Yankee stuff now you know. That went a bit wrong in the late nineties when it went all bling and that.

Have just been listening to an amazing pirate hip hop station and some of the unreleased UK stuff is just amazing.

not my cup of tea this modern pop hop stuff,much prefer the classics like jungle brothers,pm dawn,krs1 etc.

it takes alot for new artist to actua;lly come up with something thatr sounds great,most sound all to similar and rant about bollocks lol.....just like in the 80s and 90s pmsl

i never expected anyone on retrobike to be a grime fan

some of those tracks are poor but you put up duppy!! :shock:

you a chu fan then?
im chuffed now!
what is this pirate station?

you listen to rinse and deja etc?

not many people like grime you know
the black kid from london in my uni group was surprised i liked it, said i wa sthe first in plymouth he knows of. obviously there are a few more but not many that are in the know

i think my knowledge surpassed his a long time ago
and i like shoes and king apparel

the first track is great too
want me to put up some links?

weve been past the yankees for years now. just have to know where to look i.e. not the damn charts :evil:

oh and to go with the title
'a hip hopera'
not one of my favourites but in hindsight actually not that bad

Same here, still prefer the RetroRap™ to the modern R&B style of hip hop stuff, Public Enemy, Run DMC, Jurassic 5, Beastie Boys, De La Soul....
