UK hip hop? pff, why don't I just go make a US drum'n'bass or dubstep thread..
Sorry for the troll like comment, but as a resident of the UK I can unbiasedly say that our Hip Hop sucks compared to the US. But also worth mentioning that modern US hip hop REALLY sucks compared to the golden era. '87-93. No hip hop from any place and any time compares, and dare I say will ever compare. I'd recommend UK garage if you want a taste of UK flavour.

Don't restrict yourself with pointless cultural boundaries, Hip-hop from many countries is still good, as long as there is a point to put across or a message and a banging beat helps too.
Try be a little more diverse.

I've tried man. I listen to stuff all across the board, and granted theres been a handful of acts in the last 10 years from the UK, France & the US that have done the scene justice. I just don't hear anything that touches the stuff that was going on from '87-93. That raw unadultered sound is just nowhere to be found nowadays. IMO.

Sure i respect the old school shit as much as i do the new school, that shits fundamental to anything that's being made these days.
There's a lot of good new artists in a lot of countries, it's just all underground.
US, new school and dope as fuck.
Sure not completely the same as the golden age but with a new era comes new flavours.
Many people don't dig the uk or other countries (E.g. AUS) due to accents. Which is fine, different strokes for different folks but that doesn't necessarily make it bad music.

Don't assume just because this is the UK hip hop thread we don't don't like other hip hop. We need a place to share the tunes since you won't hear UKHH on the radio or anything.
I will agree that the early 90s was a great time for hip hop, I love old school US shit like Pete Rock and CL, Nas, Dre etc. But don't disregard new stuff because it's not from 'back in the day'
There's a reason I saw Pete and CL live a couple of weeks back 
I love those Old School jazzy beats

Yeah fair point man. I wasn't really assuming anyone was ignorant to the classic stuff. I'm sure most the people in this thread are schooled up, I just havn't really liked much of the UK stuff i've heard.
To be honest it's more production values than anything else. I find a lot of the newer stuff overly trebley with a lack of reverb. It's because most the beats now are done with preset sounds that are EQed to fuck, whereas in the late 80s and early 90s it was all samples. It just had a grittier, rawrer sound back then. Also hip hops merged with so many other genres, most hip hop nowadays is a hybrid of hip hop mixed with other things. Not saying thats bad, but as you know it was more 'pure' sound back then. I'm not dismissing newer stuff purely because it's new. That'd be retarded. It just sounds different to my ears. A little artificial. Same could be said about most electronic music post '98.
But yeh, I respect the points you guys make. Any thread that spreads knowledge of good music, i'm down for.

Can this be a grime thread too? Or just UK hip-hop.
