WTF - how did this thread turn into a Will Smith diss? (who I think is a positive role model for all young people before you start lynching me!)
Really tho, There's alot of UK MC's who think they are living like US rappers like JayZ, Baby etc etc ''I'm rollin on 22's flying around in private Jets'' bullshit when they actually live with their mums on a council estate in Aston.
On reflection Perhaps 'Jiggy' was a bad choice of words - really i just meant ALOT of inferior UK emcees talk about living the lifestyle and try to copy neptunes club friendly tracks and it just sounds wack cos they are wak ass emcees. Not too many acts over here really make music that represents them and where they are from - and if there are any that do then they are damn hard to find - and even then the majority are still wack!
Also I think that hip Hop culture is very differant here. I've never been to the states, but in any major city i get the impression that Everyone is either a producer or an emcee, theres a hell of alot more competition and more people LIVE hip hop - that just isn't the case over here in the UK, I'm not saying there arnt talented peeps who live hip hop here -but they are an extreme minority - its hard to find a good emcee here and you know I'm right!!!
