Who are the best rappers from the UK?

[konceptjones]

Cara from North London

She so dope she really is better than many male rappers

def not feelin her. rhymes were basic, little wordplay, had a problem staying on beat during her whole "middle finger" schtick.

she's "meh".

 

[Busta Carmichael]

Yo @guntown I'm going to London next month, put me up on neighboorhoods I should stay out of and clubs I should go to

 

[CashmoneyDux]

Yeah different strokes.

You don't f*ck with Kano though? I can understand why you don't like grime as a genre but Kano got mic presence, lyrics, subject matter, hooks etc. Haven't been messing with his recent stuff but I liked that P & Q's when it dropped. Back then that sound was fresh and new. Kano repped where he was from.

I'm from the Caribbean and been to both London, Birmingham and NY and while you had some slums in the British cities it ain't like in the caribbean, NY and even France. Alot of these youths in UK are trying to emulate what they see brothers from the US doing. They glorify ignorance and black on black crime instead of working on their future.

Ghetts and Lethal Bizzle Killed this shit.

and no one can tell me this dont go hard


They killed the Game Over remix. Everyone had nice verses except Slix

slick rick

Why are some people mentioning Kano, Wiley etc? they do not do Rap they do Grime

The rappers i posted videos of make Rap music and are the 1's buzzin

Take em' off a grime beat and slap em on a hiphop beat and it's all the same thing mama...

I don't think they sound as good as people like Teflon, DVS, Adz, Margs, Joe Black etc wen they try to use hip hop beats

Truth, hip hop lyrics/flows are more intricate and varied than grime lyrics, grime artists struggle on hip hop beats, maybe wreetch aside and a couple others

 

[killa-d]

uk rap is wack.... but grime is a different story, its the uk sound , much better

 

[ojos_negros]

Naw like I say grime is limited fem fel can spit two bars that have more meaning than a whole grime verse

 

[killa-d]

uk rap = fake and boring , if i wana listen to real "rap" then i will listen to US shit, not some fake kid from london talking about imaginary straps and kilos of coke they have never seen

 

[ojos_negros]

As opossed to us rapper wearing chains and riding whips they don't even own.

I'm ashamed of the IC. A year ago this thread would have gone in a different direction.

 

[Kalecrunch]

What direction ?

 

[life_fulfilled]

Yeah different strokes.

Exactly, it's pathetic how they try to mimic the US and other countries. The situation in the UK is not the same, no matter how much they desperately try to act as if it is.

 

[gum989]

What direction ?

Many witty jokes would have been made. Laughs would have been had.

With that said - I co-sign British gangster flicks.

 

[GunTown]

This our version of Max B he kills hooks just like him sings on them nice and he got bars like him too

Spits and sings about real life pain

 

[GunTown]

They put U.K. Rap on the map and made that transition from being the biggest Gang ever in London to music and actually selling records

Certain rappers rap about their pain and life u can just feel they do it in a way that's just makes u wanna hear these lot definitley got that factor
