[QUOTE="ozumo, post: 1100772, member: 415308"] :Y :Y :Y Not disagreeing there, however there were a lot of American accents going on at the time. London Posse (though one of them has admitted assaulting his girlfriends recently) like to think they were some of the first to rap with a British accent. RIP Smiley Culture too. Then in the 90s boom bap era you had the likes of MTV, Radio 1, Trevor Nelson and Tim Westwood only playing US acts despite them having hiphop specific shows. Whereas today you have Stormzy headlining Glastonbury, acts on the Radio 1 daytime playlist and appearances on Jools Holland. Then there are the multiple national 'urban' radio stations, an ITV2 quiz show and Mercury Prize winners. Never has British 'hiphop' been more mainstream than it is now after the doldrums of the 90s. And never has hiphop been more awful than it is now. [/QUOTE]
