UK Rappers

[Wood]

so since the whole grime thing blew up a few years ago, it seems like UK finally has some real world class MCs. I (like most ppl) have thought UK rap was almost all shit until recently, to say nothing of the travesty to MCing that is the drum'n'bass scene. now i've heard a few i'm really feeling. anybody with me on this?

ie-

Wiley - great flow & lyrics
Lethal Bizzle - SICK flow, not so into the 'grindie' beats but heard some ill remixes
Skepta - amazing lyricist

[KrisisID]

Dizzee Rascal!!!

FINALLY has some world class mcs!!! are you for real!!

although i love grime and the afore mentioned MCs they are by no means the cream of the crop. to say UK rap was all shit up until they started puting out tracks is just a bit narrow minded IMO. there are a ton of talented UK rappers who have been turning out the goods for years (Since way before grime was even a thing) and would definitely stand out against any US rappers.

artist such as ..

Rodney P
Roots Manuva
Broke n English
Jehst
Task Force
Foreign Beggars
London Posse
Aspects
Braintax
Numskullz

to list a few ..
all these guys have been in the UK scene for years and are by no means shit.

Its cool that rappers like Wiley, Skepta etc have drawn your attention but you should definitely take a closer look at whats been coming out of the UK over the last decade and half before you (and most ppl) write it off as shit.
