DEBATE: American view on British rap/hip-hop
The topic on whether British rap is equal to or superior to American rap has been debated for years, but I want to know from actual rappers themselves. Is it possible for a British rapper to blow in both countries, with the appropriate flow and technique? Is the British accent a milestone towards the goal? Do us British need to rap to better beats? I need answers peeps. I'd be grateful for true and helpful replies
Here are some British rappers who I believe are skilled:
1. Devlin:
2. Lowkey:
3. Akala:
4. Sway:
5. Ghetts:
6: Krept & Konan
7: Guvna B:
MF Doom and Slick Rick are two rap icons well known for their skills. They were both born in Britain before moving to America. Whats your judgement?
Peace.

So what certain characteristics are looked for when looking at successful rappers? Like versatility and certain distinctive yet contagious flows and techniques.
