any uk rap fans in here?

[Badman Juice]

if there are then check out the site in my sig which I write for. loads of different stuff on there, interviews, articles, tracks etc.

I think they're sorting out a forum too.

[amidoinitrite]

are you an artist or just a writer?

yeah , i swear it is called uk hip hop...

[Pedro Sánchez]

Hip-Hop is the entire culture that includes DJing/Rap/Graf/Breaking so technically it is UK Rap

[Badman Juice]

yeah the link is ukrapmusic.com

I'm just a writer/fan

and as someone said it's just concerned with the music, rather than hip hop as a wider culture. just call it uk rap to distinguish the current wave (giggs, joe black etc.) from the earlier style of guys like braintax, jehst etc.

i.e. it's this....



as opposed to this...

nah man i prefer hip hop way over dubstep, didnt know there was a differnece between rap and the stuff produced by taskforce/kalashnikoff etc

the difference in the video you posted seems like one is more about the rough endz an ting, perhaps a bit more grimey?

i would have thought ukhh was rapping anyway...

still no hating, there is a thread on hip hop already, http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=169625

gon check ya blog!

[Badman Juice]

difference is pretty much that the majority of the new stuff could be considered gangsta rap in terms of US definitions and the beats are mainly dirty south style.
there's some guys who are different though



more of a chilled out vibe. klashnekoff and skinnyman kinda bridge the gap, it's a spectrum I guess.

[crackf]

yea man same way people who love dubstep can be ashamed of tearout stuff being part of the same genre

[Badman Juice]

i just dont understand how dj's who've been around from the beginning can enjoy mixing that stuff. guys like plastician.

[crackf]

ahahah trust, last mix of his i heard was one they gave out ina dubpack, was wack as fuck...

[Badman Juice]

should have stuck with grime but I guess he's got his name up

[crackf]

tracklist that is, but hey, all to their own

i can happily shack out to dirty music given the right amount of alcohol/various substances

[Badman Juice]

lol yeah something like coki but it's just gone too far now lol datsik and stuff

[ST100]
