**Before I start I want to make perfectly clear that I realize Ireland has no credible Hip-Hop acts and I don't pretend to claim as such. So please, don't use such an argument**
For the last two days I've decided to do something I never thought possible. Give English rap music a chance. I've always thought it was bad, mostly due to the horrible beats and poorly put together acts but I decided to put that to the back of my mind and give Channel U (the premier channel dedicated to English Hip-Hop for those that don't know) a chance.
What I heard was worst than even I thought possible. I can now confidently say that after much deliberation, English Hip-Hop is possibly the worst music genre I have ever come across. After having to put up with the likes of Coldcut and Skinnyman I can say with certainty I'd prefer to listen to somebody being sawed up. It's that bad.
Everything from the sub par videos to the horrible accents to the (almost) hilariously bad rhymes makes me think, what has England done to be disgraced with such an atrocious Hip-Hop scene?
Is it just me? Is England actually blessed with top class acts that I just don't know about? Where is it all going wrong? Share your thoughts.
