The Heartbreaking Story of Nate Dogg
RIP. Music and me, is a fantastic album. It brings back memories of burning around the back lanes in my mate’s corsa. “All dogs go to heaven.” Beautiful tribute.

Hijack. Just because.
I remember seeing these guys a few times back in the day. One particular weekend we went to Nottingham to see a Rhyme Syndicate gig, Hijack, Donald D, Everlast, Nat the Cat, BSB etc. Ice-T didn't perform but he was there and we got to chat with him after, smoked a bunch etc. Following night they gave us tickets to the Brixton gig, we chilled back stage with them and Ice and Donald. Good times man

Well. That’s as may be. But at least you won’t have to read this sentence four times to understand it. Being coherent does tend to count for a lot. Just in terms of basic communication. One person. To another.

My all time favourite has always been Akhenaton. He's got a real solid flow, a slight lisp and some kick ass lyrics.

For crew, maybe 357 MP.
It's been a long time since I've delved into that scene, other than listening to Chilla in recent years.

Rick Rubin changed my life - or at least had a big influence on my musical taste. I vividly remember hearing Slayer's Reign in Blood for the first time back in '87. I was gobsmacked! 28 minutes of total mayhem - it never occured to me you were allowed to do that on a record! Along with Electric by The Cult, and Licensed to Ill by the Beastie Boys, to name but a few, he has helped provide the soundtrack to much of my life.

Did I miss Mars Volta on that list? Top 3 Rick Rubin
Also Yeezus, System’s first album and One Hot Minute top tier.

I got hooked onto hip hop when I first PE LP and Ice Cube's Amerikkka's Most Wanted got released, so a long ass time ago. I think Rubin worked on Fear Of The Black Planet with PE. Their first 5 LPs are classics in my library

when u see rick rubin for the first time you would never think he produces rap albums
he is indeed a musical genius!

how does rick rubin compare to scott storch?

American VS UK rap
![DoctorExtracts](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/u/w/300/RcZrriarhQBjnehE.jpg)
American VS UK rap
I'm sure this will be divisive but which do you think is better UK or American rap? Personally I think American Rap has been better for the past few decades but I do think UK rap is growing and getting better day by day. Any thoughts on it?
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Uk rap is rap, US rap is rap, rap is music, music is a form of artistic expression and therefore subjective. In other words one is not “better” than the other.
Having DJ’d hip hop for 20 years and created it myself for about the same length of time I’ve seen a fair amount or music referred to as rap. Even within the UK we have drill, boom bap, grime, r&b/soul influenced rap, garage and drum and bass. All of the above include rap (some more than others) and all are valid forms of expression.
Personally I’m a sucker for more boom bap leaning hip hop. Musically linked to the 90s/early 2000s but there’s plenty of modern day stuff out there and plenty of UK stuff that equals US stuff for me in terms of quality, with subject matter I can better relate to.
Just a few examples of my tastes:
Pretty much anything put out on High Focus records
Pretty much anything put out on Blah records
Pretty much anything produced by The Alchemist
Griselda

I can’t stand west side gun though his annoying voice and stupid gun noises. Sounds like a little boy. Brings down Griselda as a whole. Benny and Conway are fire though I just think the thug shit has past its sell by date. I’ll listen to 50, big L pun and prodigy if I want the thug shiz. Can’t beat it. But Harry shotta on drum n bass destroys 99% of all rappers across all genres. The guys a monster.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
I can't even listen to American shit any more, not even the old stuff that used to be good. UK rap shits all over the US, Americans just aren't with it at all.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
the US stuff has turned very hollywood, non of it seems real or relatable anymore
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
True. Unless all you care about is women, money, getting shot, cars and simplistic bars. Nothing intelligent to hear there. Move on. Whenever I hear America rap now, I always think to myself, imagine this in British accent... and it instantly becomes shit, technically and artistically.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
CANNOT RELATE TO US RAP ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT UK FOR ME FROM SKINNYMAN TO THAT DRILL STUFF.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
American rap has always taken first place, the amount of quality American rappers is a lot, and also guys like K-dot, J.cole... (just some examples), you can't really find their UK equivalent. However, British rap is much better nowadays, Dave for example is one of my fav rappers, so young but so talented his ceiling is incredible. I also think J Hus, Aj Tracey, Skeps, Giggs and Kano are fantastic rappers, but there is much less of quality British rappers for me personally. Like I can list of more American rappers that I like than British rappers. I'm not a HUGE fan of Drake, but a lot of credit to him for making British rap a lot more popular in the US + worldwide. But at the moment the one rapper I see breaking through to American heights of rappers is Dave, so so talented, and he has a natural knack for instruments. He also loves listening to movie soundtracks and different music as he finds it inspiring which I thought was really cool. Shows that he has a keen eye for production as well.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
The yanks will always have that crown, but in terms of battle rap, the UK is fuckin miles ahead imo. The US battle rap scene is so disappointing man.

Casisdead, Famous Last Words.
He’s one of them artists that no matter when you go back and listen to he’s still unreal, before the 80s synth stuff he was phenomenal but the new stuff has just taken his style to the next level
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Thirded. Incredible album. Somehow manages to starts off an instant classic AND be a grower. It's very special. His look, style and content deserves so much recognition. I saw Tinchie comment on his Insta saying he was the best of British right now so hopefully that's the start of him snowballing his way into the hearts of minds of rap fans across the country and beyond.
Standout track for me is Pat Earrings, which I'd already played roughly 1000x before the album came out. That use of 80's horror synth is just something else. Feel like I'm listening to quality rap while trying to escape the monster from It Follows

I second this, my favourite track keeps changing every week and to me that's a sign of a top album.
This week it's 'Sugar Free' for me! I hope Cas will be around for ages but after listening to the lyrics on that album, it doesn't sound great :(

Rank The Dead Rappers
For me Dilla, Doom and Guru are the most important, Biggie may be the best, 2pac the most polarizing. Shock G & Trugoy were heartbreakers...
Sean P, ODB, Phife, Prodigy, Bushwick, Biz, Darkman X, Gift Of Gab, CPO, too many man

Solid list but I’d put Pac above Biggy. East vs West and preference aside, lyrically-speaking, I think 2pac is notch above Big.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
tupac had the charisma of a rock star and gravitas of a rebel leader. a great story teller but not as great as mr wallace i think and puffys beats are more consistent than the work of tupac's producers.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Yeah. And anything that Puffy “produced” was made by someone else. Don’t get me wrong, puff daddy was a producer but only in the sense he brought the ingredients together... the ingredients being MCs and producers. The majority of stuff that came out on BadBoy records was produced by The Hitmen (featuring legendary producer Easy Mo Bee) of which he did head up but as more of an organiser than anything else.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Easy Mo Bee is a bad motherfucker and I don't think many realise his scope over the years, Always give daps to anyone that brings him up

Gotta love the one douchebag (Itche) who downvotes but adds absolutely nothing to the discussion. If you’re going to downvote (a comment of personal opinion of all things), at least add to the discussion by posting your own opinion why you disagree.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
I don't think downvoting a post when you're too busy to reply makes you a douchebag. Ease up a bit man, a downvote is hardly a slap in the chops now is it? Spark an L and chill.
As for reasoning it's quite simple. Biggie is respected far more widely as a lyricist than Pac. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy Tupac more than Biggie or anyone else for that matter. Music is subjective and what appeals to one person may not to another. That's the beauty of it!
I find the list above massively lacking anyway and it blows my mind that Pac and Biggie get almost singled out as the greatest dead rappers. As Nowherematt mentions bellow there's not even a mention of MF DOOM at all or....
Big Pun, Prodigy, Phife, GURU (?!), Sean Price, Dilla, Heavy D, Adam Yauch.
The influence the guys above had on hip hop is absolutely insane.
Yours sincerely

Usually rappers become actors, but Tom Hardy took the opposite route. He's on a few Czarface tracks, including this one, his MC name is Frankie Pulitzer. Bane has got bars.

Old Eminem VS New Eminem
No contest for me but understand if people got into him later. Slip Shady and Marshall Mathers LPs got me through some tough times! Low down and dirty on slim shady EP is one of my all time favourites. Really liked Relapse but nothing else had really grabbed me in last 15 years I’d say. Personal opinion!
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
I think Slim Shady LP is one of the best rap albums ever, but he lost me as a fan with that purple pills, dressing like michael jackson, bizarre rubbing his tummy in the video s##t!
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Yeah the actual rapping gets better at times and the production stays awesome even without Dre the thing that surprised me was the videos got worse.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
old Eminem was edgy and cool for the time. plus he was white so he had that going for him. nowadays he just comes across as too whiny and political. even though I don't disagree with much of what he has to say. when I listen to music I like to chill and be entertained. not have political messages lazily thrown at me.

Best Rapper 2021?
Best new rappers 2021 gotta be RX Papi and RXK Nephew, the new dynamic duo. Shawny BinLaden, Lancey Foux, SoFaygo, Jean Dawson and Sematary all go fucking crazy. Detroits new wave is hitting its stride with Sada Baby, Teejayx6, Kasher Quan, Babyface Ray and many many others. Young Thugs many kids (artistically- and in five years the biological ones too) are all on constant rotation, Lil Baby and Gunna run shit but don't sleep on Keed and Gotit. Playboi Carti made two genre-defining albums back to back. Maxo Kream and Sauce Walka killing shit in Texas. Sahbabii is as horny as ever and Young Nudy just as murderous and devilish. You may know them from memes, SpotemGotem is fine just okay but Pooh Shiesty is a young legend in the making mark my words, reminds me of Young Dolph and Gucci Mane. Lucki, Sosa, Future n Uzi stay doing their thing. I can't wait to see what Kanye has in store with us. Bladee and Black Kray have turned a corner and embraced happiness and optimism. Rap is doing great right now
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
I'm back a few months later Ken Carson, Yeat, Weiland, Summrs n Autumn, Kankan have all been blowing up but none shine as bright as Destroy Lonely or Lancey Foux these kids are the future

Rza on production. raekwon. gza and the whole team together bring the wu as one.

Probably the most technical rapper from the group who isn't spoken about enough the first time I heard "I bomb atomically, Socrates philosophies and hypothesis cant define how I be dropping these mockeries", I was geeking- the only one from the group that's lyrically as sharp is GZA

Harry Mack is the best freestyle rapper ever
Try Omegle bars 45,52,67,68. A lot of people don't believe he is really freestyling, in that case try one of his live shows or recent appearance on Sway. All on YouTube. Been into rap since the early 90s and I have never heard anyone half as good as Hmack.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Yeah, it's mad how easily he rhymes from the top of the dome, and even when his flow speeds up, it's crazy. I remember seeing his guerrilla bars, that's what got me hooked before the pandemic/lock down began, then Omegle bars made it's debut which is sick too.
He's crazy with it!
He's crazy with it!
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
I think a lot of people found him in the pandemic because of Omegle bars, only found him a couple of months back myself but just can't get enough. Never fails to amaze. The last one on Omegle bars 68 is my favourite at the moment but so many good ones. Other freestyle rappers use the word once and move on, he makes an entire scheme around it that all makes sense, has double meanings and uses the word in lots of different ways all while switching flows and his timing is perfect. He started as a jazz drummer which is why he is so good on timing/beats.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
I really do not rate him at all. Just well prehearsed patterns where you can fling any word in it. Most his stuff was exposed of being scripted also.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Rehearsed patterns is how pretty much every decent freestyler works, and it still takes considerable skill to be able to seamlessly stitch it altogether. Even the very best of the old school battlers would have tons of filler bars and lines written in such a way that a key detail or name could be switched out. Sounds like you're hating the game more than the player with that comment.
If you want pure 100% off the dome, sure it's possible but the flow's stutter or the bars are basic wack 1-2's.
H.Mack is better than most at it, past and present, and deserves his place amongst the freestyle G.O.A.T's.

He does live shows which last for hours, he rapped for 10 hours straight for 1 mil subscribers. Where was it exposed as being scripted? Harry Mack is a trained jazz drummer and has been freestyling for 20 years. Go look at his youtube, if you still think it is scripted I can't help you.
https://youtu.be/W5oOdDB-t-M
^ Live show where he raps about things the audience suggest
https://youtu.be/7sJt9xocuT0
^ 10 hour rap to celebrate 1 Million subs

^ Breaking down his own bars while freestyling

https://youtu.be/e2jDUloH1RI
^ Another live show
https://youtu.be/VH80FTveM_4
^ He raps for Ice Cube live who calls him "The Master"
Now where is your evidence it is fake?
How can an hour and a half live show based on the audience there be scripted?
How can a 10 hour freestyle be scripted?
The whole point of him is he does it unscripted and there are hundreds of hours of video to back that up.

I absolutely live and breathe 90s hiphop, so if I could start from the top, I'd probably go with GZA from the Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep and Pete Rock.

Just diving in because it's a music thread and I'm crazy about music. That said I love all kinds from blues to classical, from jazz to opera, and of course hard rock, synth, pop, soul and everything else - apart from rap. The one music genre that does absolutely nothing for me. Bought the 12" of "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash when it was released and still have it. And that's pretty much where it started and then ended for me...apart from the Fugees doing "Killing Me Softly", but that's all about Lauryn Hill, which is another story.

Skinnyman should have had a much bigger career than he did. Council Estate of Mind is a great album.

I think my favourite album would be Ruthless Rap Assassins 'Killer' album or maybe Horns Of Jericho. That's my era, that's my shit. Derek B, Caveman, Credit To The Nation, London Posse, Overlord X, Daddy Freddy, Duke, Hardnoise etc etc. Also agree that Skinnyman never reached the peaks he should have. late 90s early 2000s he was killing it

Best Rap Show You've Ever Been To?
Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg - Snoop UK live debut.
Crowd was bananas, show was over sold, security got rushed multiple times, police abandoned the area, chaos for hours, fights inside the venue everywhere, open weed and crack smoking, coke sniffing, displays of weaponry, dudes getting properly jacked up for their whole shit right in the crowd inside and outside...I got robbed at knifepoint myself...lost a few quid, kept all my blood lol...
Venue was Brixton Academy, about 90/91 I reckon, whatever year it was that 'The Mirror' put Snoops picture on the front page and called him an evil bastard in the headline lol....think it was to do with him being on bail for murder at the time...
Dre and Snoop opened with 'Deep Cover' in pretty much pitch black....crowd went fucking super nuts...no word of a lie, in the first minute and a half of that song about another half dozen serious fights broke out all over the place, people running through swinging shit like woah....fucking mad shit, dre and snoop only stayed on about 45 minutes as the whole shit was out of control so they pretty much fled...crowd went even fucking nuttier...
Took fucking hours to get out of Brixton, full on road block grid lock chaos madness...
But. That 45 minutes they were on stage was honestly one of the most electrifying things I have ever seen...Dre was already a seasoned performer and Snoop was still a kid and was completely fucking amped up and rocking this huge afro that made him look kind of crazy and he was completely into stoking the fuck out of the crowd which didn't help the situation lol....
I been to a lot of hip hop shows over the years but this was on some other fucking level of mad...
Notable mentions go to KRS One, Cypress Hill and Public Enemy - seen all of them multiple times and they are some of the best live performers around, their shows never disappoint and they know how to move the crowd...

Yo this threads my jam. Who's sparking the blunt!?
My most notable concert. Rock the bells NYC can't remember what year. maybe 2016
Nas headling. DJ Premier and Pete Rock had a live beat battle. Cypress Hill on beforehand fucking smashed it, Mos Def and Talib Kwali are Blakstar before that.. Wu - Tang stage, got to see all the members apart from ODB. Mobb Deep were on their stage too. Lauren Hill played and brought out Pras and Wyclef to do some Fugees tracks. Can't remember who else but there were more.

Blunts, Stunts and Hip Hop man lol...
Daaammmnnn.....would love to have seen a Rock The Bells...they do quite a few of those full on 'mega tours' in the States...The 'Up In Smoke' tour would have been fucking awesome to see... Nas is one I never caught and would love too, Mobb Deep too...that must have been an awesome experience man.
Ha, the Fugees! Man they rock a live show. I actually saw the Fugees before they were big, they were actually playing as support for Das Efx lol!!! And first support at that, at like 9pm, real early, think it was K-Solo and Redman as 2nd support before Das on that one.
Yeah...it was at Subterania in West London, was funny actually....place is all hip hopped out, all carhart hoodies, tims and oversized jeans and bad attitudes lol then the fucking Fugees rock on to the stage and broke out the instruments and you can literally hear the 'what the fucks' all over lol...but shit....they started with Temple and it banged the fuck out the place...
Was very cool being such a small venue, at one point Lauren Hill was literally 4ft from my face on stage when she did that tune with the chorus 'some forget harlem' (I forget the name, very cool song) and I could actually hear her singing straight out her mouth kind of thing, (If that makes sense!?.. But like I could hear it before it hit the mic sort of thing..) and damn...raw, raw talent and soul and well....stunning woman visually you know...fried my weeded brain at the time, I was just like dazed out for 5 minutes, like ahhhhh, damn....lol...Saw her again at a sold out Wembley arena 10 years later...couldn't barely even see her on stage from my pauper seats lol...watched the whole thing on the side monitors...not the same...fuck the fame lol...

Jay Z at Hammersmith. Warm up act was Lupe Fiasco but Nas made an unannounced appearance as they’d just squashed the beef.
Even my ex was happy as Beyoncé also made an appearance.

Beastie Boys - Wembley Stadium 1999
Supported by the Jungle Bros
Was my first proper Hip-hop gig
However...
Glastonbury the same year (I think). Jurassic 5, The Roots, Everlast and Cypress Hill (pre-beef), Scratchperverts, DOOM, Slum Village, Black Twang (with Rodney P, Skinnyman and some of Mudfam), and I've a vague recollection of seeing either Cash Money or Prodigy but can't be certain.
One hell of a weekend for Hip-hop!!

Man some of those lists are insane man.
Went to see Cypress Hill at Barrowlands Glasgow last year and it was immense! Two of my favourite tapes ever Cypress Hill - Cypress Hill and Black Sunday!
Also last year went to the Blastoff Tour Gig which was great fun although a bit commercial with the likes of Shaggy (who was shit haha)
Nelly, Salt N Pepa (They were soo good man! lol), Shaggy, Mya and Blu Cantrell.
Hosted by Fatman Scoop and included exclusive appearances from UK garage stars So Solid members Lisa Maffia and MC Romeo, scene pioneer MC DT and the British duos Oxide & Neutrino, DJ Luck & MC Neat and Sweet Female Attitude.
The best rap show I never made was Tribe Called Quest ?

Public Enemy at Homelands Festival. It was a greatest hits set and Chuck D killed it.
I've also seen the Wu Tang Clan three times, but not once have I ever seen the full line up.

Only ever been to one, and it wasn't strictly rap. Ice T and his metal group, Body Count, at the Octagon in Sheffield. Must have been around '94 - '95. Loads of white middle-class students going mental to the anti-establishment sentiments of a black dude from LA. It was a good night.

DJ Premier - I've seen him in many cities across the world but the show he made in Paris in 2010 right after Guru's death was legendary. He arrived late but we didn't leave the venue before 4am after screaming "Fuck Solar" for hours. Primo is really a legend

Rock the Bells in Amsterdam, think it was 2009 or 10. What a line-up De La Soul, Pharcyde, Nas, EPMD. Incredible show!

This is very hard.... but Skepta in Dublin 1 year ago... man Shutdown the place. A close second is Joey Badass in Dublin 3 years ago at the Olympia Theatre.... never forget he told this small blonde girl that things were about to get heavy.. so move to the back... she didn't... she got crushed..had to be carried out. Good Times, good times.

Best UK Rapper of AlL TiME?
I’m old so I’d argue Kalashnekoff, Fallacy or pretty much half of the old mud fam (skinny, Chester), got to give a mention for doc brown though, new album is nice, still going
Fucking love a bit of k-lash tho... it’s murda, black rose etc yeah... gonna bang that parrowdice album like NOW lol

Yeh that K-lash album was a banger, actually gave it another listen not long ago and it’s still a fucking banger. I’d say any from K-lash, Kano, Taskforce and Jehst.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
shed you know the deal lol! but there is no way we can put this down to ONE best uk rapper, Klash & terra firma... MUD fam, That arab uk guy from deal real days cant remember his name but TOP lyricist, Too many to mention TBH,
Shit even used to bump pound sterling and RSG. So much styles in the UK rap scene over the last 15 years its hard to say whos the number 1!

That parrowdice album is absolutely timeless never get bored of listening to it, pound sterling use to like some of his stuff from back in the day? Can you remember channel u, that was on sky, had all the upcoming young english talent, use to watch religiously, use to have some mad guys on there!!!!
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Great shout there - were you also a Yungun fan? He’s back with new stuff under ‘Essa’ - still awesome! Also used to bang Universal Soldiers every single day - going to put it on now in fact, happy Friday all!
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Yungun! Yeah man, he had a phat album with Mr Thing called GMB (grown man business) and he got a song on there called 'peter pan syndrome' which actually makes my heart bleed.... that dude is an entertainment lawyer now!
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Top album!! Yeah man that’s crazy isn’t it!! Wiccaman theory by Chester P used to get me like that! The ten pound bag mixtapes were brilliant too. Loving this thread, now reminded me of how much I love Dabbla and LDZ, having a great day :D

Ten pound baaaaagggg...oh my days... the problem with smoking so much weed is I forget too much music lol...damn, louis slipperz on the mix...some of the beats of those were mind-wreckingly phat...man, I got to dig those out...yeah, loving this thread too man, nice to know I'm not the only one still rocking out Taskforce and Skinnyman and shit...oh shit...Sway...remember that cat? He did the tune over the car racing tune..ah shit...memory lol...I know the one, think it was called 'up your speed', so many bangers lost to the pit of my weeded memory lol...
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Hahaha mate 100% the same!! Weeded memory sucks!! Yeah I’d completely forgotten about Sway! Flo’ Fashion was an absolute banger as well!!

Agree with pretty much all of the below suggestions.
Recently found this banger by Kano, D double E and Ghetts.... Such a tune, such great energy... Real uk OG's. Kano's got the longevity

Kano is tremendous live too. And so is d double e....ghetts is passable but compared to the other 2 he falls short in my eyes. I've seen all 3 of them perform multiple times

Akala for the win. Definitely NOT Skinnyman... Although I did like Council Estate of Mind.

![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)

I'm younger than some on this thread so don't know too many old school UK rappers. Mainly like old American rappers/mcs from the 90s, but would also give a vote to skinny man. Council Estate of mind is one my favourite albums of all time and its criminal he's not better known (In the mainstream).
If we're talking about modern day.. casisdead is currently the best in the scene/UK in my opinion, bar none. Can't wait for his new album to drop.

Def a personal favourite. Don’t think he’s made an average album and seen him live a couple times and never disappointed.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
As much as I properly love late 90s/early 200s UKHH, I have to say that Dabbla is right up there for me.
LDZ, Dead Players, his stuff on HF, and his solo albums on Potent Funk, he's kept it fresh, pushed hard and spits like nobody else. His wordplay is incredible.

![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Top reply that! Early Jehst is hard to beat in my book! Chester P also up there - more recently loving Lee Scott (by no means would class him as UKs greatest but he’s a personal fav of mine :)

![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Silver Bullet, hands down is the best UK rapper (really showing my age). 20 Seconds was good but 'Bring forth the Guillotine' is a classic.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Some greats already mentioned! but Dizzie rascal has to be in there for me! . Stefflon don , Jaykae and Bugzy Malone have some tunes too. Could be cheating but 21 savage as well I’m sure I saw he was from Newham originally?
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
I think he is you know!!! Who was the the other mc how was orginally in the newham generals, cant remember his name to stoned!!! Haha, ive even seen him live aswell at show at london dungeons, my mate won vip ticketsto see them and dizzee and jammer!!! Only 200 people whata fucking night that was!!! Still cant remeber his name!!! Haha

Bullet from a guuuuuuunnnnn!!! Derek B was the fucking man, he must have been one of my first UK hip hop heroes! Ahhh, this brings back memories..who remembers Normski?! Cannot for the life of me remember the show he had on tv for a while but I fucking loved it...
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Ooooh, that rings a bell...really can't pull it out of my brain, Normski was the presenter and it was literally the only thing on tv that had any flavour at all, was late on a Friday night iirc
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Showing my age ( and probably giving away that I’m more of a guitar guy ) but The Streets first album is awesome
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
I think for me it’s Potter Payper if you want that real rap but grime wise I’m going to say Ghetts.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
All completely subjective but
Kano is my all-time favourite.
Boy in da corner was a groundbreaking album, and has stood the test of time (still sounds amazing to this day) so Dizzee has to have a place on the UK rap Mount Rushmore.
Also high ratings and much love for Klashnekoff, JME, Sway, Devlin, and Roots Manuva.

So many to choose from such as Ghetto but I'm gonna have to go for his old mate Kano. Special place in my heart for that donny.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
I get what you mean I'm mainly on about his first shit after that he got annoying as fuck when he switched his style tbh lol
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
It’s all a bit mid 2000s Roll Deep etc. Good proving grounds for the future, some good MCs came out of it, but in itself it’s pretty shit. I mean compare that to some Wu Tang shit, which I guess would be the New York streets equivalent 15 years earlier... doesn’t even compare.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Not the most original post, but if what I read on the internet it true, then I would say MF DOOM, (apparently born in London).
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
To be honest, there isn't one, it's so hard to choose just one when there's so much talent out there.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
I know he doesn’t rap anymore, but Plan B in his prime was exceptional. The Paint it Blacker Mixtape is one of my all time favourites
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Not a fan of him as a person but Slowthai has been doing some really good stuff for a while now deserves a mention. Loyle Carner also I think Lyrically is very nice
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
There are plenty contenders, but considering quality of his music, duration of career, significance/legacy etc, I think you need to go a long way to better Kano as one of the greats in the UK.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Lowkey, songs banned in USA raided by mi5 no one can match his word play only guy to do chip in a beef. Too real too intelligent.

Dutty goodz is the king for me, chester p, lowkey,akala are also faves, and ocean wisdom for technicality, not so keen on his content but he's got very diverse flows and spot-on delivery.

why don't rappers get cancelled?
seems the average creep has been taking it hard for years while rappers still flow misogyny by the pound. how do they do it?

Cause at the moment they are grassing on them self's for trafficking gun and drugs. Look at Ransom who has been arrested on Rico charges for the above

What decade had the best rap?
![DoctorExtracts](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/u/w/300/RcZrriarhQBjnehE.jpg)
What decade had the best rap?
me and a friend were arguing about which decade produced the best rap, he thinks the 90's but i'm not sure about that, what do you all think?
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Rap is ever evolving so I think there a strong case for 80’s, 90’s, 00’s, and 10’s but for me 90’s is what I think of as Rap but every decade has had some big influences on the genre.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Best rap of all time grandmaster flash and the furious five - the message. Especially the last bars
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
There’s a lot from the 00s. Early Kanye, Mos Def, Common, Lupe, Jay Z.
Difficult to pick really. Probably 90s actually. Mainly for Tribe Called Quest but the 90s was when rap got serious in a mainstream way.

Arguably, Eminem is 90s. From about '98 onwards 🤘
His best rap definitely came out of 2010s though imo

Id say it depends which decade you came of age in! Nostalgia plays a part in this kind of question. I grew up in the 90's but id argue the 00's were its best decade. but im biased as that was the decade i got into Hip Hop! Blackalicious, The Herbaliser, Saul Williams etc...
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Agree with this! Just moved to the U.K. from the states and started listening to more U.K. rappers. I was over the new “kids” in the states. Maybe I’m just getting old but it all sounds the same. That said, US 90s rap will always have my heart!
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
90s for me.
Any fan here, if not already, needs to be peepin some episodes of Drink Champs! Some of the best hip hop interviews with legends from the 80s and 90s telling great stories and providing a lot more insight into "the good old days" of Hip Hop.

3 feet high and rising~De La Soul is one of the finest albums ever made. Frustratingly though it's never been released digitally
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Flower power hip-hop. Used to get played in my art classes. Everyone had it on cassette and drew daisy's on everything - it got overplayed and adopted by the masses in my school to point it became cool not to listen to it :)
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
For me it starts with tribe called quest and ends with Mf doom so thats a good 15 years from 1990 onwards. Smart lyrics and flow is where its at… 😏
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
The 80's were the best because the start of anything is always the best and it was all pure innovation - everything else afterwards kind of lacks any real originality (calm down... it's only my opinion). I'm glad to see very few people are mentioning grime, or as I call it, the theme tune to a thousand knife attacks.

alot of american new "rap". has a major accent advantage. The accent compliments the tune. You can put a UK guy on a american beat and he'd kill it. Can it go vice versa?

best uk producer?
![Hootie and the Blow Job](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/u/w/300/aUbnKGbNfgQmvDLR.jpg)
best uk producer?
seems to me the mcs have evolved ahead of the beats. who is the best?
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Very true, beats have always been a bit behind for hip hop in the uk. Pete cannon is the don, illinformed, dirty dike, leafdog all top contendors. One to watch out for is Enki23 got that old skool boom bap sound, he did have alot more up but this is all i can find of him now. https://soundcloud.com/enki-23/enki-dirty

Is Lil Peep Rap?
Straight up bollocks. Big L and Prodigy would be turning in their graves lol. Mumble rap from sound cloud rappers saturating the hiphop market terribly right now. I’m looking forward to that k-dot album drop hopefully sometime very soon
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
I call it Soundcloud Rap but lots of its also called mumble rap.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
Yeah unfortunately it falls into the ever growing rap genre these days lol. I guess it's emo rap or something. Even though he sings over like trap beats. I can't stand it but I did watch the documentary on this dude and I really felt for him so I have a new found respect for him.
![](https://i.littlebiggy.net/images/misc/ajax_loader_16.gif)
There’s only two genres in music. Music that you connect with and music you don’t. If you connect with it who cares if it’s rap, country and western, Bavarian folk trap etc

Drop your classics.
Man, I remember when the first dude round our way got Sky in his house and I would beg him up to record 'Yo..' on Saturday mornings, double bill with Ed Lover/Dre and then Fab 5 after that...was literally the only place in the world I could see a hip hop video or interview back in the days of 4 terrestial channels lol...
