Thread: Curious what do americans think of dizzee rascal

Hes from London, the uk grime scene which isnt really popular over american but ive heard hes moved over to the us now and hes trying to get popular over there you might of already heard of him? Hes got a unique style and i think hes pretty good anyway.

Hes the person that comes in at 45 seconds.

Man I dunno that one guy came up and made a jab at 50 cent which doesn't bother me... but trying to come into the U.S. and make popular music by starting beef with another rapper is not the "preferred" method of blowin' up big. He didn't really wow me... my rule is that if you cant see yourself dancin' to it then you are probably not going to enjoy most of his songs. That was just a sample though so I cant say for sure

I've known of him for a few years now

Well it wasnt dizzee that was sway that made the jab at 50, plus he said how the hell did i beat 50 cent in the nominations.. so im guessing he did?

Not sure really I don't keep up on that stuff. I just go out to clubs and hear music that makes girls run wild and thats all I really care about. ie. nelly - its getting hot in here.....

Club music sucks unless you're at the club. Even then it's not all that great. This Dizzee guy sounds good to me. Sounds like he's got more talent than most of the crap that gets air time in the US. He also looks (just like) and sounds like one of my peeps, but much better with actual flow and stuff. I'll listen out for him. Won't buy the CD but I'll download some tracks.

I heard some of their stuff a while back. It's unique, but not my flavor to buy a CD of.

Hahaha damn the man can spit pretty fucking fast

I approve!

Damn, the guy before him fucking sucked, but Dizzee is pretty damn good i have to say. I dont really like the music, but he can definitely spit, if he had Scott Storch he could make some sick songs im sure.

Approved.

Just have to get used to the British accent. Dude can definitely flow and could probably make it in the US if the word got spread enough. All he needs is one club jammer then he's getting play time on the radio. Then it all goes from there.

Yeah hes got a few american rappers on his new album

they got some good strong vocab..! strong rhymes , i approve, nice skills

im not really diggin it man, im personally not a huge fan of eglish artists, but i like english people, try some american underground People Under the Stairs, Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, thats some tight shit

Never heard of any of them, got any links to their music ill give it a listen.

uk rappers really dont make it big in the u.s. and honestly he's got skills but i dont think he can kick it with the big boys in the states.

Your probably right but so far hes been doing pretty well but he would never be up to someone like ludacris or 2pac standard, actually no one would ever be up to 2pac standard.

This songs from his latest album.

SIRENS

And as for the whole the UK "catching up" with the US rap scene. It was a US rapper who said "HIP HOP IS DEAD". But Nas was wrong, hip hop aint dead - it's just emigrated.
