I do mate, but you seem to have nailed most of them, although you missed Ricochet Klashnekoff who's album, the Sagas of Klashnekoff is probably the best out there (IMHO).

Yep big fan of home grown rap!


Cappo, Scorzayzee, Jehst, Braintax, Taskforce, Foreign Beggars, PhiLife, Sonny Jim, Stig of the dump, prolly some of our best emcees this side of the ocean, but as i hate to say it america have so many good lyricists (from Atmosphere to Immortal Technique) our talent is completly diluted by very poor bedroom/wannabe emcees with even worse productions, dont get me wrong u gotta start somewhere but there is alot of faff out there.

i would even say the french hiphop scene is as good as ours.

Peace

Never felt so out of touch, ever. Where's Derek-B amongst that lot?

Can't beat 80's US Hip-hop - Schoolly-D

i've never heard of a single one of them uk rappers!

i must be getting old, as schoolly d was the very first live act i ever saw. the first 12" i bought was the show by doug e fresh (who i've seen and met a few times) featuring slick rick

the main uk rappers i know are the streets, wiley, professor green, the mitchel brothers and stuff like that. i prefer common, mos def, q tip, kayne, eminem, from todays rappers, and going back a bit, public enemy, beastie boys, and paris. not so keen on 50 cent or jay z

[insomniak123]

for something a little different,

Iron Bridge
(or Jibbarish)

well recommended

[sparky_123]

i probably prefer UK HIP HOP, but only because im biased! dont get me wrong though, there are some sick emcees from the US. they just arent mainstream enough for the majority of people in this country to of even heard of them!

i think the most notable UK rappers have been mentioned, but a couple of the top my head that i havent seen listed.

Lowkey
Baby J (he's a producer but still worth checking)
Sir Smirf Lil
Sway
Mystro

Not that keen on u.k hip hop but roots manuva is pretty good.

hes a money hoe.

taskforce made voice of the great outdoors, and they just wanted people to hear it and braintax had a struggling label. so they said to brains " put our record on ur label, u take all the money from the sales and well make money from the live shows".
taskforce dint make *** all from the live shows but still let brains take all the profit, THEN, when taskforce wanted to release either new mic order or mftc 1(i cant remember) they asked brains to put it on their label and he said he wanted a big cut out of the money, AFTER they had already done him a massive favour, he wanted to take a cut when his label was already making loads and taskforce were making sweet FA.

thats why we should boycott braintax. he has dome sum sick tracks, last tenner, riviera hustle, biro funk, escuchame and all them but he is a dhead man.

I was meriting Braintax on his musical involvement rather than his financial acumen. Don't know much about the ins and outs of all that, I just listen to the music!

Anyone heard Tommy Evans album "Turbulent Times of........."

"Water Torture" feat. Jehst is well worth a listen, especially as it was recorded in a tent I remember reading somewhere!

cnt believe i forgot tommy evans aswell, yeh water torture is a fat tune, the wasteland by him is good aswell.

yeh in that sense braintax is quite sick, i do like a lot of his tunes, well the early stuff but he did start to think he was a politician.
