Uk Hip Hop/RnB is takin off!

BOOM BIP PLAY IN MANCHESTER TONIGHT, my mate's got a spare ticket 8quids, any takers?

 

ho no...you dont have to try and get me to appreciate hip hop ive been to my fir share of hip hop clubs/nights...i just dont like the way "flava" likes to stereotype people that listen to rock

 

my brother could beat up your brother

 

could beat up this annoying guy who keeps calling me? he took my number from his friends phonebook and keeps calling asking me out...if he could sort him out that would be a big favour to me!

 

OK I'll ask him.

PS. I really like Boom-Bip

 

PPS. Will you go out with me?

 

only if you show me your knickers hehe

 

hey i aint stereotypin i innocently started a thread and people start telling me that uk hip hops a wannabe thing so i gave them my views on their music they should be able to take it when they are givin it to me if ya understand me : ) and yeah i think rock is good (for sampling) im sorry i dont appreciate rock but i didnt join this site to go round telling people that

 

Hip hop is american. Garage is english stick to that.

 

It's a deal I have some lovely pink frilly ones as Claire can testify

 

yeah maybe but most "other" genres were once american now uk has been takin off figure that one out and yeah if it was all about sticking to what the countries about we would all be morris dancing not only on the music side but are all your furniture and electricals from briton "because thats the way we should be" is there anyone else on here that can speak sense? because the only people so far have been see and spejemelujai

 

now thats my kinda thing right there! hehe

 

awww thats sweet flava

 

You stole them off me bitch

 

Gees, it's music, not life or death

I like a range of styles... some hip hop's in there too

 

I used to like abit of hip hop before it became the most bland saturated genre of music to have ever existed.

 

Tis true :sunglasse

 

I find it amusing that a thread 4 pages long about UK hip hop didn't have one mention of Roots Manuva. He made people take notice of the Uk hip hop scene when he set up Big Dada Records, and brought out great albums like Run Come Save Me. His new album, Awfully Deep, is outstanding. Its definitive British hip-hop, doesn't try to be "gangsta", doesn't try to be american.

 

TRUE:H

 

Flava... excuse us for seeming a tad defensive... but we often have to put up with waves of areswipes who appear from nowhere and try to swamp us with flagrant self-promotion of some website/label/band without previously having anything to add to this forum...


I hope you stick around and try to persuade us that the UK hip-hop scene is worth investigating... hip-hop lost my interest when it lost the political anger of Public Enemy and reduced itself to the "my dog is bigger than your dog" bollocks that was gangsta attitude...

Doesn't help if you come and make sweeping generalisations about rock music that can be taken apart by anybody with even a moderate intellect...

So... where should a complete beginner start?... what should he/she listen to?...
