fucking awful

 

[trilliam]

agreed^

colours is my favourite rapper atm and he's locked so ye.

 

[slackk]

Piff Gang are the fucking worst.

Haven't really heard a good tape in a while to be honest; need to do some digging on URM but it's all gone a bit quiet really.

Anyone heard any bangers lately? The new G-Force Luka posted is good.

Im glad im not the only one who thinks Piff Gang are pants

Faux Goons

Road Rap guys are really close to the streets so they seem to go on HMS holiday camp. Like young Skrapsta.

''She said she's going to a seminar /
But word to the scottish, its my house where's she's eading brar''

Punchlines are 90% shit, aren't they?

Prefer this, has more energy to it.

I still think road rappers are a bit samey. Compared to grime where it seemed like there was more individual style to things. Admittedly I've heard little road rap really... but it seems that way.

 

[Blackdown]

That is something I'm finding, though I keep trying to find ones that aren't.

 

[Blackdown]

this is pretty smooth... comedy duo, visually at least.

I think the biggest thing holding road rap back I can see is the beats, they are all sort of alright but generally even the best ones sound pretty generic and a bit lifeless to me. Infact the stuff ive probably enjoyed the most hsa been either over US beats or the dancehall stuff sneakbo, poltiical, gas gang et al are doing. Generic beats = generic sounding flows really.

 

[Blackdown]

and this isnt!!!

I'll put a discalimer on that^ that I have only been dipping into UK Rap from time to time and have a fairly limited exposure and would loved to be prooved wrong.

edit- in too late

says the man who likes US rap... dont you find most of the US rap samey too? I mean, UK rap is pretty much based on that sameyness...

A lot of it is samey (especially production wise)... I mean, if I'm only looking at the 'trap' stuff that inspires a lot of this road rap - but there are huge characters/voices within that: Rick Ross, Waka Flocka, Gucci Mane, Gunplay, Meek Mill...

I mean, maybe I see the differences more because I'm immersed in it?

sometimes it seems its an ideological commitment to being low key. theres always a big thing in the uk about not drawing attnetion to yourself. its part of our national character. we think its reflective of shallowness or something. a lack of dignity.
