Hoodies All Summer was the best album of the year Uk and US

man be on here begging for attention

@op Something about calling it "the inferior version of rap" doesnt sit right with me. UK Grime is its own genre at this point

that recent Teardrops performance is the best award performance i've seen all year too

yeah there's a lot of uk genres, and grime was influenced by them and soundsystem culture more than hip hop. The ones after grime were influenced by grime a lot too.

Grime
UK Drill
Afroswing
UK Garage
Jungle
UK Funky (that's where drake took the one dance sample from)
Drum n Bass
Dubstep

UK hip hop is a thing tbf. Loyle Carner does the best version of hip hop in the uk right now imo. uk rap has it's space too. but you can't call headie one or skepta uk hip hop

There's genres from other countries too that get changed by uk producers. that's what zinc did with house when he put out songs like wile out with ms dynamite

they come like my fans but its alright my lads

Is there a British version of Uzi or Thug

Like someone that raps or has a style that’s out of the ordinary

Yeah just op take sounds elitist like US rap the only thing that matters, or the only genre making quality music

mfers just love to hate

OP just baiting so people send him some good UK chunes

innit bruv

there's a lot of unique styles in the uk, and there's rappers who sing now too. for what you mean tho, maybe Lancey Foux is most like that.

i could imagine lancey blowing up without people knowing he's british, which i can't say about most other uk artists

yeah, they don't credit non-US originators either. look at how much influence jamaican mcs have had just as one example

Post lowkey radiates MAGA vibes. The USA isn't the entire world.

Found the Brit

Thing about Pop Smoke (rip) is that Americans are incredibly unreceptive to foreign sounds until one of their own does it.

There's 50 million Latino/Hispanic people in the States and somehow Latin music is barely in the country's public consciousness.

brits used to rap in american accents or sometimes patois

the whole point of UK rappers is once they stopped caring about the US, they became popular. then when they put their own accents with influences UK dance genres and other influences from all countries (including some from the US like old school 80s hip hop and 3 6 mafia), they started to run the UK.

it's given a lot of people a voice, like hip hop did in the US. If Americans enjoy it that's cool but it's not for you lol. seems like M.I.A. is the only UK rapper to really have a US moment tho

Daniel, don't make me expose where you're from

UK rap s***s on US rap.

Niggas still really talking about accents in 2020 in this social media age.

Most people just don't like listening to music in a language they can't understand

which is crazy to me because if you truly enjoy music then you should be able to catch a vibe just off the melody, rhythm, energy, etc. of the track

like I speak 5 words of spanish but got some J Balvin, Bad Bunny, Ozuna, Maluma, etc. in my rotation cause their music is just litty like that

That's only true in America

I find this kinda hard to believe but why do you think that?

Most music listeners listen for the words being sung or spoken, this isn't just an American thing.
