That's the oldest upload I can find but it must have been about 04/05 when it was actually made.

I'm more on your side with it all now anyway, there is the occasional tune I like but I think it's had it's time now.

What Hip Hop rappers do you like from the UK?
Ahh fair. Shame I couldn't find it on Limewire back in the day, amongst all those horse clips...

As far as who I like, nobody up and coming really. Roots Manuva, Ty, Foreign Beggars and some Syntax and Akala.

Naturally I also believe Adam Hussain to be the UK's best MC.

I forgot about GLC

Nice one, only one I'm familiar with is Akala. Not a fan of that Road Rap stuff that people have been doing. Kept & Koran, Giggs etc. I can't think of much genuinely good Hip-Hop from here.

80-90s UK hip hop is best..its now been labelled 'britcore'
Gunshot
Hijack
Hardnoise
Silvah Bullet
Overlord X
and the groups with a ragga flavour like..
Demon boyz
London posse
Asher D & Daddy Freddy

Roots Manuva is the best around at the moment imo.. he just dropped a new album.

Cheers for all of those mate. Not heard of any of them (thought I knew Asher D but it's a different guy to the one from so Solid) but I'm listening to some now on YouTube, took people here ages to start using their own accents.

Could count MF Doom as UK Hip-Hop tbh.

Ah really? Roots is a good'un, definitely check him if you've never heard him before, pretty old school and I liked him as a bit of a crossover from 90s trip hop.

Bit of dub in his music and using the Jamaican accent takes him nicely away from the kinds of British delivery I don't like



Foreign Beggars have some sweet beats and went a bit dance/dubsteppy, but earlier stuff worth a listen,



Dr Syntax is the white guy you can hear on this track with them, he's a middle class joker who raps about A levels, not having girls, being white and uncool and working pointless bureaucratic jobs etc, he's alright, but a good one to drop if you happen to hear one of those conversations where a bunch of aforementioned whiteys are discussing the gangster credentials of Scarface or Eazy E.

I always claim Ricky D, never sure if we're entitled to Doom but Rick is our boy, whether he likes it or not.
