Hi AJazzheads,

I thought I'd better chuck my sentiments into this conversation...

>One question though... Despite all the other dope stuff coming out the UK, you

>agree.

Bullshit, I think there are some very good English Rappers,
What about these...?

Heitham Al-Sayed (x member of SENSER)
Aki Nawaz ( Fun-da-mental)
Mc Fusion (Credit to the Nation)
Mintos (Urban Species)

Hietham in particular is a really powerful rapper getting his
political messages across. In fact the first 3 in the list are
highly political (Anti Racest) rappers that IMHO are excellent at
their Job!!!

I think He's an excellent rapper, really fits nicely into Galliano's
music. What do you mean by 'dry, dry rapper'??

I think the decent UK rappers are different style to the 'Bitch
Mother fucking Ho' US rappers. They inject acute insights into UK
problems and contribute intelligent social commentary on minority issues.
They tear up the Government and expose white (Facist) attitudes.
Give me that any day in preference to 'My dick's so big' US Gangster
rap.

( In no way do I dis P.E. , KRS-1 and other respected US 'REAL' Hip hop groups)
