- is British music becoming more Americanised?

- Is it acceptable for artists to make music with a fake accent?

The only reason why u feel grime is dying is cos brit niggas are too busy tryna overly impress Americans. I notice how yall wanna rock brooklyn hats, NY, LA wen u got the UK fitted hats n cloths too..How u talk about ur hood n be rockin harlem at the back yo shirts or trying to put on fake accent..yall got good music but have no identity stop stealin our swag or trying to be on the AMERICAN WAVE LOL come wit something more fresh then maybe we look at you and your music scene more serious

Dear DJ SNIPS... OutKast have never made New York sounding Hip Hop. You could NEVER tell 3 Stacks & Big Boi that they made New York sounding Hip Hop. They'd laugh at you!! Simple!!

@3G4ZA realistically, hip hop was spitting over a beat. grime has the concept of doing freestyles over beats. the beats are just quicker and about 140BPM.. technically yes, grime is a form of garage which evolved ten years ago, but the concept is the same really.. in london the uk hip hop and grime scenes are divided

[Anekix]

@3G4ZA Grime ISN'T Hip Hop bruv, it's a form of UK Garage before the split between Dubstep and Grime but now, Grime has basically changed into...

[3G4ZA]

grime and UK hip hop are different forms of hip hop.. grime are people like p-money, D double E and JME. UK hip hop is artists like Jehst, Ramson Badbonez

[djfiremansam]

@FiringOnAllCylinders Grime has a distinct culture from both Hip-Hop and Reggae/Dancehal. It is uniquely British because of those distinctions. 'Rapping' was not something invented by Hip-Hop.

[djfiremansam]

@FiringOnAllCylinders So Reggae / Dancehall is hip-hop then? despite birthday the genre....

[FiringOnAllCylinders]

@djfiremansam hiphop coming from Jamaica doesn't make me wrong...
