Only just remembered Sway. Used to have that This Is My Demo which was decent.

I used to play the hell out of that album.

Yeah definitely no lyrical content there :s-smilie:

O yeah Chester P forgot about him, now what could of made me forget about him? hmm......

That's it, it was that

Lol but seriously Chester P is lyrical but his music is BORING and that's the problem we have here in the UK when we get lyrical emcee's the chances of them making a good album/ mixtape is slim due to the fact that over here they seem to think being lyrical is who chucks out the biggest words in one line and that's why I say they suck cause look at Nas, Mos Def, Wu-Tang, Jay-Z, Biggie and so on there lyrical as f*** but at the same time they can make good music and 5 star albums without chucking out too much words in a line, sorry to say let alone again but rappers here need to learn more about hip-hops past rather than hip-hop present day form.

Sorry mate, UK rap suck donkey balls lol, they talk about the same B.S. american mainstream artists do and remix everything they do and to add the remixes they do sound way worse than the originals.

who said we're talking mainstream UK or American artists?

Now If you want guys that can actually rap listen to Big K.R.I.T. & Kendrick Lamar.

Yeah, Kendrick Lamar

"Marijuana, endorphins, make you stronger, stronger, I'm in the house party trippin off" ADHD - Section 80 (2011)

"Not good from far, 90 miles per hour down Compton Boulevard, with the top down, screaming we don't give a ****, drink my 40 ounce of freedom while I roll my blunt, 'cause the kids just ain't alright" Ronald Reagan Era - Section 80 (2011)

Because rapping about drugs and Compton isn't mainstream...

I'm not picking on gangster/ drug/ mainstream rap **** NO! is like what i said before I listen to Raekwon, he talks about drugs on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. 2 and I listen to Lloyd Banks and he talks about gangster s*** on The Cold Corner (1st one CLASSIC MIXTAPE), I'm just saying for me UK Hip-Hop as a whole is s*** underground and mainstream, sorry its just the TRUTH, they lack what artist like Black Thoughts, Lupe Fiasco (Food & Liquor & The Cool NOT! Lasers), Nas, Mos Def, Andre 3000 and so on have.

I don't why people insist to make a argument over this the US are just better, Newyork is the mecca of the art end of.

I totally agree the US is better for hip-hop, no UK artist even comes close to Nas. It is getting better though and a lot of it is completely different, just people's tastes really.

Thanks, that was my whole point cut short but I guess the way I came across to the people on here was a bit harsh but at the same time true.

I do agree that its getting a bit better over here but still no cigar in my ashtray lol

Any recommendations for UK Rap? Such as:

Wordsmith

Poisonous Poets

Dirty Dike

Dabbla/Jam Baxter (LDZ)

Please don't post Example or Professor Green, I am well aware of their musical exploits.

I don't listen to UK rap much and I assume you're not interested in grime

I only listen to a bit of Lowkey and that's because I like his political movements too

I never understand why people listen to rap for social commentary. Why would you want to be brainwashed into someone else's views who's rapping about the media brainwashing everyone?

It's not hard to pick up a book and form your own opinion. I never get why people try so hard to be anti when really they're just being sheep.
