Anybody with a British accent should not be rapping. I just cant stand it.Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.
A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

He's decent. His lyrics at least aren't the typical nonsense.

I’ll be completely honest with you: I got into hip-hop as a sort of product
of cultural imperialism. I got into hip-hop out of this strange admiration that
the subjects of the Empire seem to be born with, and that’s an admiration
for US culture.
When I first started rapping, like most people in this country, I did it with
an American accent. I’ve seen this everywhere from here to Lebanon.
Everywhere I’ve travelled I’ve seen hip-hop with an American accent.
In my own personal experience it was cultural imperialism. It was me
placing American culture on a pedestal and attempting to imitate it as a
12-year-old boy.
Being of the mixed heritage that I am, with one side of my family British,
the other Iraqi, and living through this stage in history I had to be political
and, in some way, engage with what was going on.
I say in a song, I feel like an Englishman among Arabs and an Arab among
Englishmen because my name is Kareem Dennis but people in this country
people generally don’t take me as half English. They look at the way I look
and it’s like: your name’s Kareem, you’re not one of us.
Hip-hop in its roots was the voice of disaffected and oppressed people. But
England is probably second only to the US in terms of the corporate
hijacking of hip-hop.
Mainstream hip-hop artists are not questioning the status quo and talking
about the things that are really relevant to us. They’re just happy to be
welcomed to the table — that’s the problem.---
To advise others is an easy matter, the difficulty is accepting advice -- since it is bitter for those who follow their
own inclinations and desires.

The idea of singing in an AMerican Accent, is a vestige of cultural imperialism; just sounds absurd in my eyes. Albeit I don't see a problem with rapping in a British accent.[QUOTE=Afghanistan2010;658085][B]He is no different [COLOR="Red"]than us[/COLOR][/B],[B]he[COLOR="Red"] blindly believes [/COLOR]in the words [COLOR="Red"]of other men[/COLOR][/B],:[/QUOTE]

I'm not too fond of British rappers either but I wouldn't go as far as saying that they shouldn't be rapping at all.
It is true that some sounds are more suited to certain genres...imagine a Chinese guy doing the blues..
But I think what he's getting at is that when little kids all over the world rap in imitation artificial American accents, it is as a result of the immense exposure to American culture globally that represses feelings of induvidual independence and we are conditioned to feel like the American way is the right way...if you see what i'm getting at..
When really, there is (or should be) nothing wrong with their own sound - they can make their own indiginous styles of rap and they should not be afraid of the societal pressures surrounding them to do it.
It was Lowkey who I quoted there btw (and he is big outside the UK as well as in).Last edited by Haris; 07-15-2012, 02:17 PM.---
