But for real, DOOM and Slick Rick already proved it doesn't matter
Yea its wild the amount of ignorant posts.... Slick Rick genuinely had a whimsical accent and one of the goats, popular and very influential.
Rap accents need to be authentic US black regional accents in order to be acceptable. This is not a stylistic preference, it is a qualitative requirement
Any voice in rap without this will be seen as corny to the average rap listener
Wrong
UK ironically got the best white rapper alive and a shedload of talent that make Americans look bad
Stick to your fruity rappers like Carti
Jamaican influenced UK rappers have some of the best rap voices anywhere as well (Drake d***rides this sound)
Dense post congratulations OP you’re a dunce
They’ll swear they have hoods like the US does 😂😂
the brit bongers got mad at you but for the most part this is true
way safer to live in the uk than here
Wtf is up with this weird reverse American exceptionalism where Americans think their country is the only place in the world with ghettos and systemic racism against black people
you're not wrong but probably because of the unique relationship with black people and america

DOOM rapped with an UK accent? that’s news to me
he was born there that’s about it he’s more akin to 21
why do UK ppl say nigga
They desperately want to be part of black American culture
i see how the accent is a drawback but a lot of dudes used it well, especially those with a story to tell, or living a life that reflected the music they were making like these guys the Harlem Spartans
i think 2 of them ended up being stabbed to death (Bis, the first guy in this video is one of them) and one of the others is serving time, tragic story no doubt, but the music that came from the scene had authentic energy, like it's a no brainer NY adopted their beats. i hardly used to think about the accent back then, but yeah, sometimes it stands out.
for some people it really enhances their music but i feel like russ millions voice is holding him back lowkey
This is hilarious
There are good UK rappers
there are amazing uk rappers i think dave is the best rapper in the world under 30

RIP BIS X LATZ
Free Loski free Miz
Blanco (the best imo) still holding it down with consistent drops. City of God was a great tape

Carti can’t even be called a rapper he literally just mumbles nonsense, at least when migos do it there’s actual bars and flow. Carti literally just makes noises
