On the whole, I never been to fond of rap music. I won't be ignorant and say it all sucks because I know otherwise. I have a few Spice 1, Onyx, NWA, Dr. Dre, Toupac, and Easy E releases somewhere. Just not all too fond of the majority of the rap I've heard. |

I've never been really fond of rap music. However, while I was back in the US during my Christmas vacation, I suddenly listening to rap music on the radio. I really like the song Encore with Linkin Park and that other guy. I guess part of the reason I suddenly grew to like it is that I haven't heard any rap music while I've been in the UK. Most of the people I know at school who are from the UK haven't really heard rap music. They mostly listen to techno. I don't know if this is true overall, but that's what I've found. I actually had a really funny experience with some people here is the UK and rap music. I was standing around talking to these three other girls. I don't remember what we were talking about, but all of a sudden this one girl, Rose starts singing. I couldn't figure out what it was that she was singing. Then it registers in my mind what song it was. She was singing "Jenny from the Block." It was so awful. She had such a thick London accent and she was singing to the right beat. Rose starts telling this other girl in our group, that "Jenny from the Block" is this girl's song and how this girl is |

Hey hey hey, Lenina! Slow down there! Don't generalise us Brits that way, to say we don't understand rap is silly! Britain may be a primarily white nation but there are millions of black people who live here as well, here in London we pretty much revolutionised the grime and garage scenes. Ever heard of Dizzee Rascal? He's a Mercury prize-winning grime artist whose garage-influenced rap is extremely original and he is very big here in Britain, if you go to any secondary school in London you'll see all numbers of kids listening to Dre, Kanye West, 2pac, Ludacris et al as well as our own artists like Rascal and Lady Sovereign. What radio station do you listen to? Listen to KISS or any other urban-based stations and you'll hear tonnes of urban music, much more so than guitar based or techno based bands. Maybe its because you're in Fife, instead of England, that you don't hear rap often. After all, why would Scotland need rap when they have Franz Ferdinand getting the airwaves? Seriously, we definately understand rap and the r'n'b culture, so much so that we made garage and grime our own. Listen to Jamelia, listen to Oxide & Neutrino, and you'll understand that Britain does understand what you say is a black phenomenon. |

I used to listen to 2Pac, Cypress Hill and some brazilian rap bands.. But in these days, the closest to rap that I'm listening it would be Beastie Boys.. |
