'Shouting The UK'

[teebster1]

skinnyman is very clever

[mattmashup]

@designeranoraks To be fair to you, this promo was made with the aim of getting the film commissioned by the bbc so there are so many other artists not featured that should be in there. We have interviewed many all over the country.. however your statement about Masta Ace being' gladly put in to support a weak cause' is way off the mark.. Maseo, Ace, Spinna etc have and still do all collaborate with uk rappers/producers.. thanks for your comment.

[hashead19]

skinnyman looks like an aids victum

[mancreep]

Skinnyman is a little bitch, lol.

[Zeph100]

This guy should be in this vid >>>>>UK HIP HOP FREESTYLE KING PLATINUM

[TheSaintAza]

I think skinnyman talks like that in interviews and shit to be taken more seriously, if you talk like some yob who's gonna take your view on something seriously?

[xsf07xbu]

I heard Skinnyman sold his soul for crack

[yesitsvetz]

@xsf07xbu I heard your mum sucks dick for crack

[Hosanna1Love]

'I aint a musician, i aint a producer, i aint a mC, man- i'm a solid terrorist.'

[mattmashup]

@olihill101 it's 'sonic terrorist'. 

[olihill101]

@mattmashup hmm

[insaneclownbrian]

@olihill101 LOL

[peebeee75]

Whats the deal with Skinnymans voice when he talks....does he just put on his 'hip hop voice' when rapping.

[mattmashup]

@peebeee75 Skinnyman has the ability to rhyme how it comes naturally to him and to also communicate in a way that can be understood by anyone and everyone. He is a great communicator with something to say. As i would put it, 'keeping it real on every level'. I hope this is of some help, but you should ask him yourself if you see him about, he is very approachable. Thanks for your comment.

[1SWINZ1]

@mattmashup Im An Emcee, I Have People Listen To My Songs And Say ''THAT ISNT YOU!''..... But It Is!!!!! Its Just How I Deliver It, Its My Style.... ITS ME!!!!!! Probz The Same With Him!!!!!!!

[RickyKeoghMedia]

BIG BIG !!!!! we on the same level fam

Probs

[icemeltsinspring]

Why is it that, alot of UK rappers seem to make more sense in their rhymes when compared to U.S rappers/Artists?

 I mean, they seem to take their time and they put alot of THOUGHT into their Lyrics! You gotta RESPECT that!

[djquantize1]

[callmethepure]

[TheStyxUKHH]

[mrhello111]

[elliotseabrook]

[Freshhhhh1982]

UK hip hop has been shitting on US hip hop for the past few years.

[Ghostdog162]

yes yes

[skitlaz]

[sullycraft66]

Sinister Stricken all day UK !!

[jaydelanyack]

L-O-L

[zackMCR93]

jesh - high plains anthem, best uk track ever!

[JadedArtisan]

With Grime morphing into Hip Hop and artists like Chipmunk getting 'Best Hip Hop Artist' (however misguided that shit is) perhaps UK Hip Hop will get its overdue recognition... But these Grime wannabe Hip Hop heads gotta recognise their UK Hip Hop roots... half of them don't know who Hijack is... and pioneers like these birthed Grime. Its like the bastard child returns to shit in daddy's shoes...

[ricky2o08]

whos the guy spittin in 3.16 ?

[mattmashup]

F.E. (Zone 2) He was recording his verse for the UMA Award winning 'Split Mic' Mixtape at the Truman Brewery, Brick Lane in October 2003.

[nptrock]

well, not ALL white kids i mean...but thats exactly why it has got big!!!

[nptrock]

its only broken through becoz white kids like the idea of listenin to white emcees and thats how they start thinkin "hey ima start SPITTIN"...so thats WHY its big even tho most of it is wack !

[junglin09]

hahahaha u fucking idiot!!!!

[90steenager]

I love UK hiphop, but 90% of it is and has always been crap.

[marketsquareboi]

id rather UK Hip Hop didnt go massive, its great to be able to see people like foreign beggars in small venues with less than 100 people, better than 15,000 people in some massive fucking arena in my opinion.

[mattmashup]

true, but i don't think it's so much about filling a 15000 capacity venue rather than getting the airplay and recognition so many of these artists deserve. You can still play 15000 venues and do smaller ones to. Better to have the ability to do both and those artists that want to stay true to their roots will still do the small gigs. Thanks for your comment bro.

[WatchinYou22]

who's the guy from 3:37 to 3:40? i swear i've seen that face many times, can't recall any names however

[mattmashup]

it's MC D, aka the Rothchild Kid. He is a real truth speaker and a good, good man.

[WatchinYou22]

yeeeeeah, now i remember.. thanks man.

even remember where i've seen his face before now, from this collab with some UK rappers and KRS-One.

dunno if you've seen it before, but i'm guessing not everyone have, search 'krs one mcd skinnyman paradise' here on youtube for it.

[paperandtea]

his name is black twang

[chantiti]

Props to Ty!!! saw him perform couple years back in ladbroke groke abosolutely big!!!! Come on UK we got the shit lets show dem like Roots said...'Witness the fitness..........1 hope 1 quest!!

[Kaknose]

QUALITY

[musicfreak9000]

im british and i listen to both uk and us, US underground is better than brit grime, most of these 'rappers' are chav and as such have to make life hell for the rest of us brit's, i've meet US rappers example ill bill and there down to earth people who know what there talking about, im not saying and brit rap sucks, i like v double o, plan b, kano and example etc

[ganjaman123456]

So your saying US underground is better than grime OK n your mind it might be but that dont make it better lol and as for the rappers being chavs and making YOUR life hell YEAH RIGHT lmao what a prick!

[kami98]

man up you fucking pussy!

[belzer09]

dude i completly agree im british but uk hip hop cant touch us hip hop. plus they r chav like u said. i mean how many famous hip hop uk artists can people name tht have made it massive?

[musicfreak9000]

thank you someone with a mind, but fame is not the point, all famous morden rappers suck dick, the reason why i hate this kano, dizze shit is because all they talk about is how cool they are, there gangs and no shit how there going to kill you

[SOUTHSIDER1985]

u chat shit bruv, they make life hell 4 u, o my days stfu...how manny uk rappers have robbed u!? none, so fuk off with that negative shit, and get ur facts straight, chavs aint nothing to do with uk hip hop, 'chavs' are like pikeys, not inner city 'rude boys' ...totally diffrant culture...

[jimbo187]

they dont make it massive, thats why its alot better than the us sell-out bullshit, check out jehst, braintax etc, there the real uk hip hop, not this grime shit..

[mesie2006]

Yeah innit check out Jehst, Chester P, Dr Syntax and Forreign Beggars!!!

[robert42jh]

[oksoucanrap]

respect to the people who made this video and for da people dat uploaded it. U.K allday!!brap brap!!!

[sammymg21]

Sorry to BARDOEL102WILL Australian rap will not i repeat will not rise above, u australians still listern to musik i used to listern to about 20years ago ur behind in music, fashion and not to mention common sense n a sense of humar. All u guys do is get drunk n chat shit all day ive lived there for 7months n couldnt wait to go bk to my home town LONDON ...

[BIGGZZY]

fuck U.S there all the same. its all about the U.K

[ubmilitant]

u.k hip hop is great but grime is wat the real u.k is listenin to

[aellepola]

you know what - there is always gonna be commercial crap and underground sounds in every country.

USA wise - I like Mos Def, Immortal Technique, Dead Prez, Pharoah Monch.

UK wise - I like Chipmunk, Skinnyman, Akala, Ghetto.

US fans may not have heard of these UK dudes - but US artists have and they give props. Thats the opinion that counts as far as I'm concerned.

Record labels don't pump cash into UK scene coz there's no money in it yet, we don;t have defjam or badboy size labels over here

[83BarFly]

strange how jehst, lewis parker, and foreign beggars didnt get a mention... sick video, and who the fuck wants UK hiphop to go big. it's appreciated by the people that matter!

[bardoel102will]

australian rap will rise above haha!

[clubmandan]

Did this come out? looked in my local HMV & inddy record stores and they could find no evidence of it existing?

Annyone got any official info on it?

P.S. I think we've established that we all thing our respective "underground" scenes are superior to the (predominantly US) commercial bullsh#t, no matter which side of the pond we live!

[jaythepk]

nicky shut it u little cunt uk grime/rap is far deeper than ur yankee american shit where u just rap bout hoes n guns u fat yankee prick

[YoungT9292]

ur rite blud. sum us rap is ALRITE but most of its mainstream an is just shit. big up the uk.

[StatikMix]

o ye corse it is....go and listen to mos def - mathmatics then tell me grime is deeper. Ye ther ar artists in the U.K that are big but ther ar big artists in the U.S aswell we jus dont hear about em. We can all agree that commercial "rap" is shit but to say all U.S hip hop is bate is fucking ignorant.

[nickyknucklez]

why has it taken the uk 20 years to break through, coz none of these cunts can rap.. oh and uk aint broke through anything yet

[kidsnype]

american rap is mainly comericla bullshit so hush ur face

[nickyknucklez]

who u talkin bout 50 cent and eminem... check out army of the pharoahs, ill bill, celph titled, jedi mind tricks, necro, slaine, tonedeff, apathy, the demigodz, big left.. check out them rappers than tell me its all commercial bullshit, i bet u never heard of none of em. if u dont look at the american underground dont comment

[mattmashup]

At the time we made this trailer, the exposure and media coverage of the UK Hip Hop scene in Britiain was the highest it had ever been before. Expecting a new dawn and the scene to expand and move with this new interest sadly didn't happen the way we or anyone had hoped. You are right, it hasn't broken through, it is still simmering beneath the surface with the exception of Estelle or the odd Dizzy tune. We do look at the US underground but it isnt in the trailer. thanks for your comment.

[nickyknucklez]

there was some fuckin sick english rappers, for example gunshot, what happend to them, uks been taken over by this shit grime that gets on my nerves, fuck kano and dizzie, there ruining the scene

[mattmashup]

Kalashnekoff, Ti2bs, Blak Twang, Million Dan, Braintax, Buggz, yungun and many more... BBC radio have pushed all 'Urban' or 'Black' music or however you want to call it onto 1xtra and away from the mainstream listener.

[nickyknucklez]

so maybe its polotics

[kidsnype]

ite yeh there respected buh give the uk some time americas been doin it since the start and theyve broken through but now over there alot of them are commercial (well the main 1s) but the uk are what america was like at the start.

[Guerillatoker]

And grime is mint. Its not there to overshadow hip hop. It is not hip hop.

[SiveyBeats]

haha feelin Ace's orange jumper

[Neigah88]

Well im a UK Born livin in America for 8 years and pisses me off that we dont get publicity cos we represent their society and we aint gettn no attention

soo pisses me off if they think we all about cup n tea n being posh

man we been doin dis Urban ting for over 20 years now n still we dont get any credit but we do now days from rappers they appreciate what we do but not the producers or the people!!!

[BaronZTUKHH]

UK all the way !!!!!!

council estate of mind for real

[ImmortalParadox]

Why cant this fag stfu about a council estate of mind, Wtf is he on?

[mallek69]

pshhhhhhh the americans proper goin on as if theyre better you know....

[11bollocks]

im from the uk i dont want uk hiphop to get big cos it will become too commercial like the us shit they play these days

[ad1000z]

already is....

[01hdav]

Genesis Elijah is such a prick lol!

[samfitzell]

loving the start with the classic London Posse track!!

[alirussell111]

uk hip hop is all about the truth thats why theres no money in it. in u.s hiphop only fake artists like 50 cent and them make the big bucks the good u.s artists r stuck in the underground. its the way capatalism works man u aint allowed freedom of expression.

[01hdav]

hang on now man, Eminem is famous, he is certainly allowed his freedom of expression listen to his songs such as "Mosh" where he shouts out against the government administration of his country

[tulsaok82]

the UK is straight up pussy name 1 artest fome the UK that the U.S gives a shit about its all booty bullshit homo

[alirussell111]

you turned your mum homo

[ad1000z]

only cos u sleep on it.... who gives a fuck what the us think??????????????????

makes me laugh when yanks come u.k to battle and get wrecked, big headed wankers.

lol

[alirussell111]

mosh barley touches on any real government issues, he just talks about himself for the first few verses then drops a couple of lines about bush bein a nob. check out the lyrical abilities of saigon, dead prez, vinnie paz, immortal technique, they all u.s artists they all underground coz theyr lyrical content is concious.

[wtfisgoinon527]

US hip hop gives black people a bad name. UK grime does the same thing.  UK hip hop is conscious music. Thats why it is never allowed to go mainstream. They want to keep inner cities idiolising criminal states of mind.....obvious man just look at the situation

[RamonAllnightlong]

couldn't be bothewred looking at it because it didn't load quick enough and kept buffering, and i'm on an 8MB connection.

[chloe20UK]

u shoulda watched it

[noutmy]

ooooooooo very good,,,

city..pretty

[PicoDeath]

Yo, who's the rapper at 3:15? Ain't come accross him yet, peace.

[chickendave2]

Asher D i think..

[PicoDeath]

Thanks for replyin man but it's defo not asher.

peace.

[01hdav]

I'm not sure to be honest at first when I saw him I thought chipmunk but when I pressed play it definately wasn't

[jetic]

the guy in the pink who spits a lil looks like chamillionaire

[mckillerb]

this is the truth! watcvh and listen carefully people, at last a dvd addressing the problems of the uk hip hop industry, where are all the record labels??? they are here but signing boy bands lol its ridiculous the amount of talent that the uk has we could be running it red like america do with the urban music scene we just dont have the labels backing us.

[shootacop2kill]

finally something worth looking into, helping promote our culture. i remember jamming to london posse way way back. it's just a shame it's taken so long for our music to be heard, goes to show it takes more than a half hour slot on westwood to promote it. artists like roots, jehst, taskforce, iguana man, etc, etc, etc are strong enough to be mainstream, yet there is no support or backing from major radio stations or labels. thank fuck for lowlife.

[rudeboiGC]

get this on mainstream media!!

[jiujitsuboy]

Very nice man, looks quite professional

[dix0nyt]

lol skinnyman soundin quite posh

[durtypsds]
