OI M8 LISTEN

1. british accent sounds like a butler or some shit, its lame
2. american gangsters are actually hardcore because we have guns, these british retards think they are hard because of knife crime loool
3. they have no original sound, they just take what americans made and make it worse, like drill, they bring nothing new to the table

>>127734863
4. british musicians in general have had a hard time breaking into america, oasis couldnt do it, blur had a one hit wonder with that woo hoo song

americans ripping of british style is cool
british people acting like americans is fucking terrible

>british accent sounds like a butler or some shit, its lame
Most UK rappers speak in low class London accents which I'd argue sound even more foreign to Americans.
And it's not just the accent, it's the entire dialect with its unique vocabulary.

>>127735006
black british people are like unicorns in america, no one is going to take you seriously that you are some hardcore gangster with that accent. they need to get a white british guy to do an eminime or beastie boys larp in chav aesthetics

UK rappers are insanely corny.
they don't quite understand hip-hop

this is literally the only black uk rap song i fuck with

this is my favourite hip-hop song from the U.K
https://youtu.be/zWuhexANoAk?list=RDzWu
I tried listening to Little Simz's album earlier this year and I disliked it a lot. I thought the first song was pretty good but then the rest of the album was the exact same, was I missing something? I sorta wrote her off after that.
I was thinking of making a thread for my cunt's hip-hop, if anyone here's interested I will

>>127734836 (OP)
nobody listens to dubstep anymore

americans are BAIT

no one takes british accent seriously

That'd be like selling sweet tea to the brits. It'd be a niche market but most would go "what the fuck is this?"
You know how Taco Bell failed to be a thing in Mexico?
Hip Hop and Rap started in the Bronx, in Harlem, in NYC in the 70s. It is a uniquely american and black american thing. They know their roots, for fucks sake the first real hip hop track used a nile rodgers sample from his band chic. "I said a hip, hop......"
It had a funk, disco sample for the first hip hop track which then evolved over time into hip hop, rap, gangsta rap, conscious rap, and evolved alongside r&b. It would take a really good producer or artist to be a thing in the US. Pop Smoke had a uk producer do his Dior beat. The sound can have a market, but the london rap accent, too many glottal U's and Oohs

>>127734836 (OP)
oh they can
they are really good at breaking and entering.

Liptons iced tea is definitely a thing in the UK, we have lemon and peach flavours.

It sounds cringe. I'm Australian and I hate Aussie hip-hop and rap. Honestly I mostly hate the genre in general, but there is something especially awful about a chav or a bogan trying to sound like a nog ghetto rat.

I’ve been listening to Dizzee since 2004
Boy in da Corner was huge in america

no offense m8s british accent sounds weird and gay

Some of the accents are completely incomprehensible

>3. they have no original sound, they just take what americans made and make it worse, like drill, they bring nothing new to the table
This part is wrong, most British hip hop is very much derived primarily from British dance music.

rap has been overrated garbage since the early 2000s

>>127734881
many of the biggest popstars of the last few decades are british

Dizzee was only popular among the Pitchfork-reading, /mu/posting hipsters.
he actually sold very few copies there.

I only know of Sway because one of his songs was in nfs carbon. https://youtu.be/Ykk1lLIRZoc

>>127734836 (OP)
it's unironically the simple fact that most americans can't get over accents
it doesn't matter how good the wordplay, flow, beat selection, etc. is, your average amerimutt will get hang up on the accent (I'm american btw)
anyways probably for the better, I like rarely seeing it brought up here
listen to cas

21 Savage had to fake it (hide all evidence of being a bong) to make it into American rap

>The genius.com page literally just has a question mark for that part
Literally the worst fucking barometer you could be using, that site gets so much shit wrong.
I do basically agree though, as far as foreigners go at least - wish people'd stop acting as if it's incomprehensible on some kind of objective level though, shit's fine to me for the most part, not really any less than any other song.

They probably just don't get played. Why would american companies push british rap?

might as well add MF DOOM then

They are though. Fakemink is blowing up right now

>>127739610
MF DOOM was American. His parents were just retards and didn't do the paperwork. Although that would mean he was a retard as well. He should have realized. It's not that hard.

UK Rap isn't even rap. It has more in common with Jamaican dancehall music.

British hip hop=/=pop music in general
Kpop is a thing now, which is an updated 90s american boy band in korean form. Pop isn't always the same thing as rap.
When a person is singing their accent doesn't always make it through. The UK accent really is grating on a hip hop track

>>127737433
Yeah and it tastes like piss.

>>127734836 (OP)
it sounds gay to us

You know how the UK gets around St.Patrick's Day, bemoaning "plastic Paddies" and all that?
Yeah, right back at the UK hiphoppers.

>>127734836 (OP)
Americans know that jungle, ukg, grime and dubstep mog British hip hop. You can see the influence of those genres in a lot of American music but almost zero influence from British hip hop.

honestly, I rarely hear rap music from outside the US that doesn't sound cringe. Japanese, French (both from Europe and Quebec), Russian, whatever. It just sounds stupid. It's kinda like trying to make flamenco, but in German or Congolese.

The accent, british bands are popular in america because they don't sing with accents
Meanwhile bong rappers rap with accent

UK rap is a bizarro world where the whites sound more natural and less cringe than the blacks

British accent is mostly associated with sophistication, similar to French. When baboons starts using it with their signature "mouth flair" its not only ridiculous, but it's literally cognitively incompatible with language and its image as a whole.
