[realgrime]

D'explicit made the beat

[longeatonbadman]

american hip hop is wak haha. all bout da uk grime

[helgenx]

You think I don't know american rap sucks? I don't even listen to that shit anymore, but let me tell you: I don't hear a lot of rappers from England making it here, but I do see a lot of the music here going world wide, that accounts for something. And I could really care less about hoods since I moved out of one, it's nothing but a place for poor people with no education, fuck street smarts when you can simply work and not have to live in a shitty apartment with no electricity.

[jnowak87]

@ helgenx: go 2 thornton heath an tell me theres no hood in da UK!! u dont no what ur on about! ur chattin s*** blad!

[helgenx]

Psh, if it wasn't for us Americans in the first place, there would be NO RAP IN GENERAL. Grime, I like, I appreciate it, but it's mostly gibberish, plus we're mad more harder in our shit, there was no hoods in England till we made our own hoods, but ain't nobody saying ya is copying... Or is they? HAH. I still got love for you brits, but know where dem tru rootz is from yeh?

[BagMen]

no hoods in england till there was hoods in america? think before you speak.

[MilitiaStudios]

YEAÿeah its always about Usa,they got everything and the rest of the world dosnnt got anyting,please shht yuh mouf

btw,the american rap has sucked big dick last 5-6 years,just sum mtv crap

[ProdigyBoyo]

and if it wernt for jamaicans there wouldnt be rap.

[PastRepeat]

And if it weren't for the whitey's of classic rock & roll, there wouldn't be reggae.

[ProdigyBoyo]

no, wrong. reggae came from new orleans rnb. and rock and roll came from blues, boogie woogie, jazz and rhythm and blues, and is also influenced by traditional folk music, gospel music, and country and western.

get them facts right, partna.

[Guerillatoker]

Reggae came from Jamaican Rocksteady/Ska music, R&B/Jazz were just influence..

[eddyvideostar]

@Guerillatoker. American rap, as Jay-Z and others, came from the Jamaican toasting/DJ/MC/Rap from the late 1950's, from Prince Buster, U-Roy, I-Roy in the early 1960s. The early Jamaican Ska/Blue Beat music had come from the US R&B and jazz. I call it Jamaican Jazz.

[Guerillatoker]

@eddyvideostar Rocksteady/Ska music, the original Ska, was a pre-cursor to reggae, and as toasting was generally undertaken to reggae/dub it was the prequel to hip hop music. Toasting wasn't really a genre, American Rap is a genre, like Rocksteady and Ska music. I understand what you mean, but I mean the same, I just didn't mention toasting in my last post.

[cnjro]

helgenx chats so much crap its funny. "hoods" are created by bad social situations not by wanting to copy anyone you stupid fuck.

[helgenx]

Who cares, really. I used to live in a hood, but I don't want to be known for that, I was born in a poor society, and that's not cool. And to be really honest, I don't really care who started what, I just like what's good, and that's the end of the story. Later kids!

[nserekowwe]

yesss Jay Z!! Pow!!!! UK GIRME is biiigg!!

[jaiharman1]
