Im pretty sure 98% of posters have no clue about anything outside the US/Canada.
Where exactly do you think New England is?
isnt it a small island off the north coast of Scotland?

do you also believe that Redman is from here?

Lewis Parker is dope. I like some of what The Streets does.....not always my shit though. Blade is someone from the UK I heard about from way back who had a few joints.

Does Roots Manuva count?

HELLOOOO!

Wicked's right BRO, you definitely aren't hiff hoff enough.

Voted Canada.
TSOL is a top10 2010 album. Fuck the hate.
Resolved Question
Does Biggie Smalls hate HipHop???

"Shoulda been a cop, Fukc Hiphop"

I've been wondering what he meant by this.
Additional Details
Rap sucks, HipHop is better

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
Naw, he likes hip hop and rap. He was just referring to if he hadn't started rapping he would've been a cop.
So he's cursing it, not that he doesn't like it, just for the sake of it.

Would you say they're from England or New England? School us Carmen Sandiego.

I couldn't pick the mid west because its real diverse. I think thats always been their strength as far the music goes.

Im the same with The Streets. They arent Tha Real HifHoff though.
Roots Manuva definitely counts. Blade has been around since the late 80s. Im not a huge fan of his 00s material. he retired a few years ago I think.

Either way, the scene these days pales in comparison to a decade ago.

Write in for Australia/New Zealand. I've heard at least one or two likeable acts from every other part of the globe. This is not a Jaz diss, it's reality.

If we're gonna get all global and shit, I'd also like to write in for Germany. Easily, the worst rapping ever.

This is true. German rappers sound like they're getting mouth raped while they rhyme but if we're gauging on whether it's hilarious or not, Canadian rap would one of the cornerstones of all rap hop.

Judging by how hilarious the regular spoken languages are, I'm guessing the world's funniest rapping must come from:

Pakistan
Netherlands
Finland
Nepal
Suriname
Wales

the fact that the paki film industry is often colloquially referred to as lollywood (not joking) pretty much says it all

out of interest, who else have you heard?
The Streets and Roots Maneuva. I also heard those S.A.S. guys that were affliated with Dipset a couple years ago.
Other than that, there was that UK broad on the White Rapper Show. She was pretty awful but I did like the way she said "Holla"

Are you retarded?
I manage to read your tireless analysis on tedious articles posted on blogs Ive never heard of with ease so I'm pretty sure I'm not.
Insult would've worked better had you implied that this feat actually qualified you as retarded, retard.
Cool bro. I'm eagerly anticipating your next blog post where you explain how Tame One verses demonstrate a vernacular that not only influenced a selection of Jersey MCs who debuted between February 96 and March 99 but also had a profound effect on the socio-economic development of the aspiring middle-class Puerto Rican demographic in the Tri State area.

Leaving the Netherlands out of that list. From the stuff I've heard, they at least got some good production with a few entertaining emcees. Can't think of any names yet but thats from what I remember.

WITHOUT QUESTION its the Dirty South with all that ign'ant GARBAGE they put out. The only folks from the South that are cool are the ones making actual Hiphop music like Supastition, Big Pooh, Phonte, etc. to name a few. At the same time though, every fuckin reigon is puttin out some bullshit artists & groups who put out garbage music.
"Wicked = Genuinely loves Hiphop and respects it because he grew up during the time when it wasn't full of southern mongoloids and Lil Wayne rappers. From his mixes you can tell he knows his shit. The problem is, when you are a smart dude preaching to a bunch of fucking morons, you end up getting singled out as the douche."
