british hip-hop?
logosmonkey:
Hehe, ok I understand. Heh, yeah I never knew about the comparison to ICP, they are just... well they aren't even farce and that's just scary. I've only ever heard some Glc stuff I wasn't aware that they were actually that popular in that scene =P that makes it even better.
KharBevNor:
I watched an (American made, I believe) film called Green Street recently, which is about 'firm' football hooliganism, and the film makers picked GLC to be the music that a group of the hooligans plays in their car as they drive to administer a smackdown. I don't really know what that indicates, but I found it almost as amusing as the films premise, which is very amusing indeed.
Gryff:
This doesn't add anything to the discussion at all, really, but I think Roots Manuva is fucking great. Watch this video for proof.
KharBevNor:
Actually, I downloaded Roots Manuva's dub album (Dub Come Save Me) on a recommendation and it's not that bad. Some good tracks on there, from my limited knowledge of/taste in dub.

--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---Lady Sovereign is some of the most awful, cringe-worthy crap I've ever heard. The whole image and the lyrics and the voice and everything is bloody awful.
Why do Americans eat up awful chav shite? I don't get it. It's got to be a cultural thing, like how you guys generally seem to think the Streets are cool and dislike Goldie Lookin' Chain.
Actually, go listen to Goldie Lookin' Chain. At least they're amusing. Not to mention safe as fucking fuck, clart.
--- End quote ---
I agree with Khar here-Lady Sov. seems a bit contrived to me. While I haven't really listened to much Goldie Lookin Chain, every time I hear the name I think of Gold Chains. Though he's neither from the UK (SanFran) or exactly hip hop, he is definitely entertaining (also great live!) Check out the "Rock the Parti" video on youtube-you guys won't regret it.
Salada, The Run The Road album is pretty good in the way of UK "hip hop", it seems as if it would be something you would enjoy. Roll Deep, Kano & Wiley are pretty good, & it's kind of a greatest hits for the UK grime scene. Some good hooks & beats.
