I've been listening to loads of hip hop again lately after a long time off. Really enjoying rediscovering it all again and being impressed by Lil B, Kendrick Lamar, the new e40 and the like. Am really feeling it, but have to ask where's the homegrown talent at? The last UK MCs who blew me away were Trim and Durty Goodz - is there anyone out there even appraoching their level who I've been sleeping on? Anyone? Even if not, who do you rate right now?
(an aside - Trim reminds me of Lil B a bit, the way he lets a dememnted persona emerge in the music) Been listening to a fw things in the Road Rap thread - can't say I'm exactly feeling K-Koke, though the Sneakbo cat story is possibly the greatest thing I've ever read.
