Loads of London slang is taken from Jamaica anyway, so it's all an organic process.

the n word comes from a lot of pain and suffering, and its a word thats abused every day here in america, and i have big problem with people taking it lightly as if its nothing. you use that here in NYC in certain situations, and you can get yourself killed.
it's exactly the same in the uk, and there
is other places outside croydon.
i dont know about croydon specifically, but you do hear black people in the uk call each other N. as a white person I would never say it but i dont feel in a position to condemn them for doing it.

that kinda shows that only retards care about that word any more
I'm sorry but it's almost 2010 and n word or not if you kill somebody for using it... well what can i say pathetic really
I never used that word but it still shocks me how people react to it and let's be honest those people have no clue about the whole thing just a reason to bang their chest about something they heared stories about

it does sound pretty weird but to be fair it prob sounded weird to jamaicans when brits started using their words, and so on..
definitely not too sure how id feel about going to an american rave with an mc though.

going a bit off topic but I never understood why people thought of this as a post year 2000 chav thing, when innit had been used since the 60s up north.
and I thought 'bollocks' was used be americans too anyway? I maybe wrong
ps what does this all have to do with dubstep anyway?

Try going to a DnB night in Germany - you'll hear all the German kru dropping UK slang in the middle of German sentences, sounds hilarious!
