Am curious about rap for many reasons and whilst I love some of the more 'classical' mainstream rap like Run DMC, TheStreets, Eminem etc I always like to broaden my experiences. I have been looking for tips for non US/UK rappers so today I asked twitter and facebook and this is the combined response. Not a damn clue what they are saying though. Some gems here...

Dude, the streets aren't rap. The diff between hip hop and rap is huge. Start there :)
ReplyDeleteCheers, good point :) Will do :)
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough (or not), Polish Hip Hop kicks ass!
ReplyDeleteCheck out Molesta, WWO, Tede... the list goes on. It is Hip Hop in its purist form, without looking to copy American artists.
Something tells me Dutch Hip Hop could be quite good, based on nothing more than the shear quantity of weed thats available? Never actually heard any of it? Any opinions?
Oh nice one...will have to check out some Polish hip hop now. Will update the post. As for your theory on dutch hip hop I am not sure there is a correlation. But will look up Dutch now as well...
ReplyDeletenon-us hi-hop is far better than most of usa rubbish...MC Solaar is a french legend, as are Sian Supa Crew, then the likes Xplastah(Tanzania) and Daara J (Sengale) represent to new wave of African hip-hop (there's a very good Rough to African Hip-hop for the unitiatied). Unless Scott I would say the UK are definitely hip-hop a very uk slant on hip-hop...
ReplyDeleteSuperb Steve,fantastic leads...will check them out now...
ReplyDeleteHey Al, love the new blog. My hip hop and rap knowledge is low but I do love most of what I hear. Got a Eminem Relapse and a £15 iTunes voucher for my birthday so perhaps time to widen my collection....
ReplyDeleteCheers Andy, Eminem is great. Make sure you listen to The Eminem show. Very intelligent chap.
ReplyDeleteJust flung this up in a rush yesterday (when you get the urge you gotta do it eh?) but will be moving to altepper.com and possibly moving platform as well soon.
It's been a long time since I blogged at all and I never just did it as me. Feels great :)
I need to know why I am not on your link list love ;)
