The Streets
I no longer hate all rap. I love these guys. For those who havent heard them: imagine the guys from [i]Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels[/i] or [i]Snatch[i] rapping with their accents. "Pure Garage" sound more like "Pure gairage" Anyone else into these guys? I am so glad for college radio. Mainstream stations will only play one white rapper, fuckin promoters of redundancy and incompetence.

"Eh hello. My names Tim and I’m a criminal,
In the eyes of society I need to be in jail
For the choice of herbs I inhale.
This ain’t no wholesale operation
Just a few eighths and some Playstations my vocation
I pose a threat to the nation
And down the station the police hold no patients
Let’s talk space and time
I like to get deep sometimes and think about Einstein
And Carl Jung And old Kung Fu movies I like to see
Pass the hydrator please
Yeah I’m floating on thin air.
Going to Amsterdam in the New Year – top gear there
Cause I taker pride in my hobby
Home made bongs using my engineering degree
Dear Leaders, please legalise weed for these reasons."

[B]Yes, I also like them but not just because of their british accents. [/B][/QUOTE]
Thats not my only reason. Their ryhming skills are superior and that is why I posted the lyrics. The part in that song flows so well. The mellifluous quality is ear candy.
These guys kick arse-- theyre so funny, one of my fave bits.....

' Oi Oi, Lee Satchell you bastard...
stop trying to shag the birds...
and come fight with the geezers.... '

life's pretty straight without vidalia :You_Rock_
The mainstream station in Chicago plays 'em all the time. I'd have to hear a few more songs of theirs before I could make an assessment.
Actually- does anyone know the origin of this Lee Satchell character?
Also, another bit.....

yeah, 'round here we call 'em birds not bitches...[/i]

After years of cynicism and sarcasm, it truly is time for romanticism to reoccur, kids.

The only redeeming quality is that they aren't making alot of money.
Hip Hop was born in the US, and should stay that way.
I've heard enough white people from Britian and Australia trying to rap.
Hip hop truly orginated from Africa, iLL RICH MOETHRFUKER

and we've heard enough musical horse-shit from the US ( of all genres ), so its only logical we pile misery upon misery and let the shit-heap blossom, ok ?

what's the point in keeping music specific to a single location? you realize that music is what it is today because of all the borrowing different cultures did from one another? you xenophobic ass-nut.

"They" is wrong the correct pronoun would be "him."
And do not forget Detriot or are you unaware the poser is white even if he doesnt believe it.
I really, really tried...downloaded five songs, listened to them all.
And it sounds like crap. 
Horrible, boring, and I thought I got a bad file and it was skipping or something...then I realized it all sounded like that.
i'm sorry, PsychoKeety, but you are mistaken.

Yes, I also like them but not just because of their british accents.
