and somehow i forgot to mention this is also why one of the American rebuttals to Brits talking about uk rap/drill is to post Unknown P/Big Shaq and say "this is what all British rappers sound like" or "Unknown P is better than every single rapper to come from the UK"
which regardless of my thoughts on Chawawa's "satirical comedy" i'd be interested to know what he thinks of that, this character that he created as a comment on cultural appropriation with rap music being used by Americans as a way to shut Brits up when they want to talk about their music,very strange thing

i suppose you could put it down to context (which is usually brought in regards to Europes reltionship to american rap) but rarely is it brought up the other way round.
I mean that plus the love of a good broad joke, no matter how you can come with all these precise digs about culture,you just need to say "BEANS" in order for the crowd to die laughing and kill your argument in the same breath

Had the influence ever gone the other way until the Brooklyn Drill stuff? That was interesting. For as long as I can remember, it's always been the UK taking cues from the US then suddenly they're using drill beats and Drake's - I know he's Canadian, but whatever... - trying to sound like he's from London.

no use for a witticism
Yes (v.briefly and never in public) - I write poetry (have been published here and there including the Journal of Nietzsche Studies).

R.e. Goldie Lookin Chain - they are also legitimately some of the funniest comedians in the UK of the past 20 years imo.

What are people's thoughts on Chap Hop?
This is one of the best ever UK rap disses imo:
US hip hop has had a strong vein of humour since the early days - just cos it's humourous doesn't mean it's "comedy" nor does that make not "hip hop".

you're definitly not wrong about something being humerous doesn't mean its comedy but its often the problem with alot of music that tries to use humour as its way of getting a point across

and even then man from Chicago and New York will debate you on this
not only that but like NY rap was in a dismal place for ages, the running joke of rap cities and when Pop Smoke, the Blikxys and them lot started rapping over those type of beats it was like "thank god New Yorkers went and stole UK beats so we don't have to listen to you tea sipping chipmunks ever again"
which if you want to read into a statement like that it's basically saying "better to be a New Yorker than a Bit"

Roots Manuva used to get a pass I think?
But overall, I think it's exceptional for UK music just to break through, to even be heard against the US cultural noise.

i often think of this as some of the worst music of all time. i did like when i was 16 though, which feels shameful now. my problem with the hiphop i'd heard at that age was how unrelatable it was. and how silly it all sounded, it sounded like a load of people who thought they were hard basically. this terrible music above was much more relatable

and this kind of thinking is not only horribly racist but it's how certain nerds end up loving the worst music on the planet
like hearing these dweebs talking about IRC chatrooms or making refferences authors who appear in the New Yorker any less silly and unreleatable to somebody else lol
