[carliboy908]

@MrSockoOck Really?? Didn't know that, thanks for sharing..that's cool

[MrSockoOck]

@carliboy908 Yup. Born in London.

[JakensteinSEX]

@MrSockoOck Slick Rick too! He's from London. And moved here after living there for a while.

[skulleton]

@MrSockoOck

[str8fromthaNebula]

omg how long I don't heard it...crazy manuva

[bachelorfox]

don't think we can make generalizations about American and English hip hop - the USA is blessed with Doom & Aesop Rock, but cursed with crap like Eminem's latest song about his mum. the UK is blessed with Manuva and Rodney P, however it also lets people like Professor Green and Tinie Tempah have a birth certificate and passport

[Cs82Hun]

Epic,rly

[SaoLorenco]

One of my fav tracks of all time. Every time i hear it i can't help but dance around like a nutter.

[JpesXzey]

[doritos180]

Asides from this guy and the streets is there any other good British Hip-hop?

[GNinja]

@doritos180

The ones that come to mind for me are Skepta and CHipmunk. Also the England 5.

Any of the British rappers the Gorillaz have done work with are pretty good.

[FractalZero]

@doritos180

Don't listen to GNinja, skepta and chipmunk are shit. You want to look in to: Jehst, Chester P, Klashnekoff, Taskforce etc.

[FractalZero]

@FractalZero

I'd just like to reiterate how fucking awful chipmunk is.
