Hip Hop Graffiti Artist "Why" A question of US/Euro hip hop?
Why is America's hip hop culture losing its roots such as true lyricism, beat boxing, breaking (somewhat still in in the USA), graffiti, and djs being on teir with the emcee but these aspects of hip hop thrive in Europe. Hip hop seems more respected in Europe. M9, Blind Alphabetz as lyricist, Nathan "Flutebox" Lee as beat boxing.
Don't get me wrong I know underground artist in America that's lyrically ill, intelligent thoughtful lyrics some not that underground.
Also, I'm an American, live in America so I don't know for sure how popular these artist I listed are over there, but most oldschool US artist get more respect and crowds over there.
i agree...im from u.k and rappers like klashnakof, kyza, kano(my avartar), dizzee rascal, ghetto and devlin are pure lyricism and and excell in the art of emceeing.
we do have our lil waynes like tynchy stryda but the genre is new round ere
Can anyone help me find a good underground hip hop forum?
I want to find an actual good, knowledgeable, underground hip hop forum that has real people discussing real music. I am not looking for any websites that focus mainly on modern rap or 'hip pop'. I regularly use bombingscience for graffiti forums but i want to find a really good original underground hip hop forum that wouldn't ever touch the topic of any artists that you would see on mtv or hear on the radio. Any help would be great! thanks in advance!
