(Still think he peaked with <I>Run Come Save Me</I>, though.)<BR/><BR/>As for Dizzy... I think he's impressively dexterous and has a wicked sense of humour, but he - along with most Brit "hip-hop" - seems rooted in something a little different than American MCs. What gets called "hip-hop" in Britain, and especially grime, strike me as a logical extension of garage & reggae toasting. It's a parallel but separate cultural evolution (or so it seems to a north american rockist).Sebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861556483662617818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11817097.post-17230836160735668772008-11-11T21:56:00.000+09:002008-11-11T21:56:00.000+09:00roots manuva's "brand new second hand" was better ...roots manuva's "brand new second hand" was better than 95% of US hiphop of the times, and "witness the fitness" is in the top five hip hop tunes of the last ten years imo...been listening to some ol John Peel tapes from the late 80's/early 90's , and you can add Sons of Noise and Ruthless Rap Assassins to the Brits who were turning out top notch underground hiphop, also Jehst, Hardnoise, Skinnyman, Baby J and Mark B and Blade get an honourable mention. Don't like Dizzy Rascal tho!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
