Apologies, but I can't find the old UK Hip-Hop thread we had. This might as well be in another language to most here anyway.

Been bumpin' the recent Morrstinkin album pretty hard.

Stinkin Slumrok x Morriarchi - Pipedreems


Stinkin Slumrok x Morriarchi - Madness

guy has a very rock x redman-ish flow at times

the new JJJ album is good, considering he makes some great sample based beats.
shits on spotify or whatever.

dope. video of the year thus far.

First time I probably heard the Wolof language...

The beat on Origine is killing me.

this is an interesting series.

i have an interesting takeaway from this.

most the people interviewed say "i wish i could understand what they said."

number one complaint being a language barrier.

with Cee and Cease, they get 2 videos where the songs are rapped in English, and the one
they end up liking the out of the 3 videos shown is the one song NOT in English.

it seriously shows that lyrics are the least important thing. I always figured this. Beats, flows, vocals, even video
can make uninteresting lyrics into a good rap song. Damn near describes ODB's successful career.

someone should make a series where people are given transcriptions of rap bars, then people judge the bars,
then are played the song to see if they change their views on the song.

Way too friendly to post this in LONDON's thread.

The recent Ramson Badbonez & DJ Fingerfood album turned out to be pretty nice, imho.

Ramson Badbonez & DJ Fingerfood - Verses Eye Spit



Ramson Badbonez & DJ Fingerfood - Hypnodic



Ramson Badbonez & DJ Fingerfood - Stir Fried

Some dope German shit from the late 90s...
