Ahahahaha Brits do everything better? Lol its American Innovation and british explotation... Hip hop IS AMERICAN. Do everything better? K , but Argentina never kicked our ass. GO ON WITH YOUR LEO SAYYER
Fuck Pac. His shit could never be on the level Skinner is on. I'm american and i mean, come on. Ur tryin to compare Mike Skinner's music to 2 Pac. Thats just ridiculous. 2 Pac fucked his life up. U dont see Skinner where 2fag is.....
all you english and european losers copy american music. just look at your sound charts and look at americas. there is a reason why small american artists are introduced in europe first.We export our culture, get used to it hahaha. usa #1 always and in everything except your stupid soccer game. u can keep it we dont want it.
@aberdunsky your blatently a dinlo, this is why people hate american's because you all ride on the talent of 2% of ur country, rest of u are pretty stupid, you just think your safe as fuck cuz there's a lot of you. our succesful stars ratio compared to how many of us tehre are is much better than yours, so if u had a brain you'd realize that you fit into this stupid catergery i just mentioned
lol everyone on here that says this shit is bad and "not as good as american rappers" they jusspeak different. your prolly not even hearing what he is saying.... good stuff
awesome tune from a much underrated album. mike writes with humour, depth and subtelty. he is the antithesis of dumb, blinged up american crap. as he once wrote "we don't say bitches, we say birds!!"
And saying that the british rap scene is better than the american is just idiotic and proves you know nothing about hip hop. Since rap started in the US they've been rapping the longest.. it's entrenched into the black culture like in no other place.. there's obviously more rappers per capita in the US than in any other country, meaning it's guaranteed to produce more rapping geniuses than any other nation.
Further the US is a much bigger place with a much bigger population than the UK.
>implying I said UK had more quality rappers than UK
Derp. I just said you're a dumbass for implying quantity means quality. There ARE more rapping geniuses in the US, but NOT because we have more rappers to begin with. By that logic, we also have worse rappers than the UK does as well -- see "Soulja Boy" for instance -- so again: Quality and quantity are two different things.
I never said quantity means quality you stupid motherfucker!
But logic will tell you that a country 5 times bigger will have both more rappers and more good rappers, of course they'll have more shitty rappers as well, that's a given.. only retards like yourself would have to point that out.
Furthermore, like I said.. the culture is way more entrenched in the US.
@WB2RM Wow, you're insane. I'm not going to get into it though because I doubt I make you open your mind through conversations on youtube. I just wanted to be one more person to point out that maybe you're not entirely correct. If one person calls you a horse's ass, then punch him in the face. If another person calls you a horse's ass, then try to persuade him differently. If anyone else calls you a horse's ass, then maybe it's time you bought a saddle.
Why do y'all have more good rappers then if it's not because of sheer quantity of rappers? Ignoring that US is the home of hip hop.. why wouldn't the fact that you have more good rappers have anything to do with quantity? It's simple logic that a greater number of rappers exist in the US because of the bigger population.
More people = more rappers = more good rappers.
Kindergarden stuff really.. you just multiply populations.
Ignorant americans.. y'all never cease to amaze me..
You amuse me, kid. You really do. You have no common sense whatsoever, seeing as how you say only a retard like 'myself' would have to point out something as obvious as I did, when it technically would apply to you just as well for pointing out the same thing in reverse -- more in general = more good+bad combined.
It's nothing to do with the greater number. By that "logic", China should have better rappers than us. It's entirely culture, nothing more.
Well of course I'll point out the obvious when I'm speaking to retards like you.
Of course it has to do with greater numbers, it's a combination of culture and a massive population. If the US had a population of 9 million they wouldn't have as many good rappers as the UK even if the culture was twice as popular there.
No, because China hasn't adopted hip hop culture like the western world has.
Not really. The UK has a huge rap culture as well. For their population, they have as many good rappers (in percentages of total population, even) as we do. Maybe even more. We might have "more", but compared to how many worse rappers we also have, we may have a smaller hit/miss ratio than UK. I'm not really interested enough to do the research to find out for sure.
The entire time, I've been saying US isn't "rap heaven". Other countries can have just as much good rap as we do, or more.
But, as to why we're arguing about it? I don't even really know anymore. I think we both just somehow find entertainment in the conversation to some degree.
So, in closing, I'm going to try to find something to agree with you on. Such as, Drake is extremely overrated and is NOT that good of a rapper. Yes/no?
English rap is much better than our American crap. We just have half-wit gansters who sing about 6 things: drugs, money, guns, alcohol, police and women.
Exactly.. it wouldn't classify as rap, it doesn't even classify as music..
People that say hip hop isn't music is delusional, but people that call this crap music is even more delusional, this is quite obviously talking. With a dull, lifeless and monotonous voice at that.
I actually listened to it now for a second time.. ok, it's music and he's not just talking like in some of his songs.. but it's still pretty horrible.
yeah..the chorus part of the song where he sings. here it's called the hook of the song. it's the part that is repeated three or four times in a song. i've listened to the streets for years now..but i think most of their songs are ruined by the "chorus" of the song.
He's definitely mad nice, thats why I listen to him. But you can't throw all American HipHop music in the category of Soulja Boy and all that. Thats like judgin the quality of all films by a commercial success. Besides, even on the commercial tip, Nas, Hova, Eminem, Andre 3000 are all beastly MCs still, fuck the money. As it always has, real hiphop lives in the streets you dont see on T.V. Yall don't know what time it is, youre just talkin some ethnocentric bullshit.
I can't say which style of rap or hip hop i like, British or american. They seem to have their own styles. Im an american but I love the streets, because of the beats and cuz he's original.
@WB2RM - Non-Phixion is childish bullshit, its all pseudo-horror chat-shit fakery. Its a fuckin caricature, a cartoon. And its technically awful. Necro, Ill Bille tc, all shit. Kids and thick cunts love it though.
That's the appeal you moron. And some of that shit is very real, ghosts, aliens and non-physical entities do exist. And if you haven't realized that you're a very simple minded fool.
@happy562 Grittier than the shitty american stuff? The guy is rapping about the environment you twit! Grittier than the American shit?

Go back to tea time and leave the music to us K?
@madmoran1029 british rap in general is just better search up uk grime and see how hard they go there man so much better then this auto tune american shit
@busboy3232 I will give you the auto tune shit but hard and better? No the Euro Hiphop just falls short. And don't mistake top 40 crap for real shit. Its like that with all music. We invent it you soften it. We made blues you gave us skiffle. We gave you elvis you gave us gary fucking glitter.
@madmoran1029 who gives a fuck about ANY mean streets? fuck your mean streets, no one gives a fuck about your crappy life on the crappy streets of yours.
@madmoran1029 lmao dr dre goes harder than anything in the uk...so your telling me "i need a doctor" is harder than kano, streets, wiley, jme, p money, ghetts, dot rotten....yeah ok then lmao, typical american fuck
Wow English rap is so much more classy than American... hmm at least nowadays. I'm sick of this Soulja Boy and Lil Wayne crap, I want Pac's sound back!
If you think that Soulja Boy and Lil Wayne represent the whole, vast body of contemporary American rap, then you are sorely mistaken my friend. While Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy are two commercially successful American rappers, the rap universe in the US, including both commercial and underground rappers, is extremely large and diverse. I suggest you delve a little deeper into the US rap scene. I assure you that you will find much better than Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy.
