What Does the Average Briton Think of Lady Sovereign?

Despite my name, I love rap, although I hate the shit they play on the radio. I am familiar with some British rappers such as Slick Rick, Lowkey, The Streets, Roots Manuva, Akala, and, of course, Lady Sovereign. However, I cannot stand Lady Sovereign, yet she is quite popular in the States, especially amongst the younger crowd.

How is Lady Sovereign perceived in the United Kingdom? Does the general public love her? Is she popular only amongst teenagers? Is she hated by the general public? I'm sure you get the idea. I'm curious.

 

As just another female wannabe black gangster rapper.
At least she is around here.

I'm not usually a huge fan of rap but roots manuva's pretty sweet.

 

Here, in the states, she is compared to the likes of Missy Elliot and Fergie. To me, these are not good comparisons at all. It would be better to be compared to MC Lyte, Jean Grae, the Lady of Rage, or Queen Latifah.

I agree with your comment about Roots Manuva. If there is any British rapper who deserves fame in the States, it should be him. Not only is his sound unique, he also writes meaningful lyrics.

 

She just a pop star. I like some of her songs, they are catchy. I'd also tap it.

 

Lady sov?

She was actually rather amusing in Celeb Big Brother imo
Unforutnatly she's only done 2 tracks that i like =|

 

Okay, I take back what I said about her. Well, some of it . . .

As a lesbian, I am glad she admitted to being gay and not giving a shit about the public's reaction. I discovered this today. I feel slow.

I'll give her credit there. That does not change my views regarding her music.

 

hmm, i love rap, but she does not do my ears any favour

 

TBH the average Brit has probably never heard of her - I certainly hadn't.

 

In the "Grime scene" Lady Sovereign is seen as a bit of a disgrace; she's often boo'd off stage and she can't freestyle/rap battle.

I think she's mainly appreciated by cocky middle class girls who want to experience the glamorous side of grimey music without the substance.

 

I have no idea what the average briton would think because I am in no way average

 

I am not British...and i never heard of her...but i had to google her and my first impression was ...she looked like one of the spice girls. lol I didn't bother listening to her music...white rappers...enough said.

 

she is not popular here anymore, she had moderate success a while ago - doubt she will have a revival, music has moved on a bit since.

i don't care for her stuff. plus, she was a wanker on tv, though that means nothing when talking about my taste in music.

in saying all this, and being mindful of your proclivity, i have friends who really liked her and probably still do - they are both lesbians. suffice to say i think she has a gay following nowadays, more than a mainstream following. i get the impression she is herself, see.

 

Rascist.

She was funny on Big Brother.

 

I like Lady Sovereign, haven't heard any new stuff from her in a while but i did her style.

Slayer, i had no idea you liked hip hop, thought you just stayed in the metal bubble (my bad)...you like any other British artist?

 

Did you mean Racist? lol I love my race...which happens to be white. I don't care much for followers...for i am a leader.

 

I meant rascist.

And reading what you've posted about being a leader leads me to the conclusion that you might also be a facist.

 

I've actually seen Lady Sovereign live at a festival lol!! She's fucking shit and no one likes her.... well i guess some do but i've never met them.

I've seen Akala as well, wasn't actually my choice cos my friend forced me to see him and i agreed cos he was being a prick and wouldn't leave i was so smashed on MDMA i wouldn't leave him and this caused me to not get into the Underworld tent... FUCK!! Luckily Deadmau5 came on the main stage moments after this major underworld let down so at least i got some banging house set! WOOP WOOP

BTW the best british grime/rap w/e u wish to call it is Dizzee rascal 'Boy in the corner' album easily. 'Showtime' is pretty good as well, anything after that just write off as selling out!

 

No such word in my dictionary. Anyways..you can call me what you like..i am what i am! Nothing you say changes it. I don't like white rappers...if that makes me a racist...so be it.

 

Oh dear.
