if you feel offended then i'm sorry it wasn't meant to offend anyone. I'm just saying that hip hop is generally...
I don't like hip hop much. Every song sounds the same, every raper looks exactly the same, does the same things and 'raps' about the same things. That's just copying the stereotypes they try to bust so badly. Every hiphop artist that isn't form USA tries to imitate the accent, videos and style so he'll look cool. That's why they're all fabricators, want it or not.
The few that don't try to sell them selves, don't imitate anyone and stuff, they're rappers worth listening to. Every music that's not as commercial as the celibrities you see everyday is worth it.
A few years ago my type was Arrested Development, now it's Mike Skinner 😄 and it stays until i find something else to worship, that's worth my attention.
there.
Well I respect your opinion but I'd appreciate it if you didn't generalize all of Hip Hop as shitty bling bling music. That is the type of stereotype Hip Hop artists I listen to try to separate themselves from. If you go by what you see MTV or any other commercial music station, you are only going to get the Nellys and 50 cents of hip hop, not the generally good artists. There are way more good underground artists then there are crappy commercial artists. Sorry to get off the topic of the streets.
"I don't like hip hop much. Every song sounds the same, every raper looks exactly the same, does the same things and 'raps' about the same things."
Completely false.
The fact is, for most people it's natural to use an American accent purely because when you grow up there's not much British shit on TV. All that surrounds you is mainly stuff imported from the USA.

@ Afro Cheese, maybe i didn't listen to them because they're underground artists i have no access to. But that may be true. I dislike the music on Mtv, it's fake as hell. 'Nellies' do nothing more than record music that WILL sell well.
And Alpha, you're half wrong. I'm sure some do that, but the truth is more and more artists want to be 'american' just for the sake of it. USA is 'cool' because it advertises itself like that. You can see that thing in every country, although UK still remains somewhat conservative. Well at least the so called 'posh'.
Oh no, excuse me. You're not american. You're CHAV.
Actually this was suppsoed to be a thread on Mike Skinner. But i'd like to fiish the discussion first, if you don't mind.
People think it's 'cool' to be American over there? Wow, they sure as hell don't think it's cool to be American here in the US. You will see all sort of Mexican, Colombian, Puerto Rican, Haitian, Jamaican, and Dominican flags on people clothes and book bags in my school, but you will VERY rarely see an American flag. Hell, I'd say when it comes to people's clothes and stuff I see more British flags than I do American.
Well, my fave singers. John Rotten, pete doherty, and Carl Barat all sing with their British accent and sound great. Matt Bellamy Occasionally sings with and english accent but not all of the time.
Oh and by the way, no one said that British people think americans are cool, i definitly dont! I love being English, and if i HATE most of you americans!

Do you know alot of americans? Or are you just daming a nation because of what you've seen on TV? Im proud to be English but in my experience you cant judge people from where theyre from, there are cool people and wankers all over the world not just in one country.
