It's just for FUN! ...Don't CRY!

Having a discussion with some friends about who the Top 5 MC's/Rapper's are in the UK! And it's not about No.1's or record sales, it's about who is the most lyrically profound, who make's you go WOOOOOOOOOW when they jump on a beat?

Here is what I came up with, don't cry about it, it's my opinion ...

1. Kano


2. Sway



3. Dizzee Rascal


4. Wiley



5. Klashnekoff




So now your chance, give your opinion, DONT BE SHY! If you have never commented before and always read I want you to speak, drop a Top 5, re-order mine(cos mine is the correct one), suggest an MC...whatever. Speak out!



Soooo ...THOUGHTS?


Ginger Kid

PS. Props to ...Skinnyman, Roots Manuva, Bashy, Professor Green, Chipmunk, Durty Goodz, Swiss, Jehst, Black Twang and many more. All very big and were considered.

Skinnyman - Council estate = best UK Hip Hop album ever

NB - this is just my view!!!

Mr.Londoner said...

In short, Dizzee & Sway 'cause they have the overall package..

since you said lyrically ironik gotta be #1

HQ ADMIN said...

Sway for me is the most talented MC in the game... hardest working guy i have seen!!!

im not saying the others dont grind... but Sway went to a different level in my opinion...

my 5 would be

Sway
Phi Life
Klashnekoff
Kano
Skinnyman

iLLMATICBBCMODEL said...

IRONIK!!!????

negro please!

worst thing to ever come out of the uk dont know how he went from DJ Ironik to a rapper biggest joke ever, shud stick to channel u.

1.Kano
2.Klash
3.Sway
4.Skinnyman
5.Akala (his defo one of the most underrated, slept on artists)

clav said...

I hate to say it, but Ironik's a nice enough kid... I can't hate, having worked with him I can only respect what he's trying to do... Even if I don't think he's the best rapper!

iLLMATICBBCMODEL said...

well since you worked with him clav
elaborate on the whole change of name...

why is he just ironik now, was the 'dj' just an apt way of making himself 'hip' sorry but i just think his loser jockin t.i's swag.

iLLMATICBBCMODEL said...

my bad honourable mention to ghetto if he toned down the rawness he could be somthing epic.

good choice! but theres this guy random impulse, he comes under thre category of grime, but his stuff is more fresh and concept based. i saw him destroy goldielocks night, westwood dance and radio 1xtra show his fire.

youtube that badboy!

Sebadee - true stories

Random Impulse - definitely one to watch on the grime tip - the tune Masks is serious

Anonymous said...

Grime is the most over-rated pile of shit ive ever heard in my life.
Who cares which artist can "spit" better ? All the talent in britain and this shit gets the most airtime ? Fucking despicable

No.1 all day

clav said...

@ illmatic - I don't know anything about his change of name, all I know is I flew back to London and did a whole heap of sessions for the guy. I didn't know who he was or even know he was in the charts... Which shows how much regard I have for the UK commercial music scene I guess!

Point is, he's a nice enough kid who isn't coming with the usual "I'm-so-hard" type vibes; to be honest if he did I would laugh 'cos he's just a good, well-behaved, hard-working kid - if you ever meet him I think you'll find it difficult to say otherwise. Worst thing to ever come out of the UK? Hardly - I can think of FAR greater offenders than him...

And why should he stick to Channel U? Ultimately he is where he is because the public (NOT a record label) put him there!

3.Lewis Parker
4.Funky DL
5.Yungun

Anonymous said...

Oh, but he wants to fight.....

K-lash no.5? Wrong, Wrong, WRONG.

Im upset man, that is disrepectful. K-lash is blatantly number one and after him its Kano, like 20 floors below.

And why does every1 4get Miss Dynamite (back when she was sick), cos she's a chic? Oh yeah, I 4got, y does every1 4get Shystie? She's argueably better than Kano.

Oh yeeeah,slick rick. You know,I been killing 'Sitting in My Car' lately 4 some reason. I 4got he was even english

1.Klashnekkoff
2.Shystie
3.Kano/Miss Dynamite
4.Slick Rick
5.Sway
6-100000000.All the rest of u mofo's
