because kvr is such a hip hip loving community lets make a hip hip thread .. what's your fav. hip hip artist or repper. mines Mark Griffith - the guys
obviously very talented ! 3 steps ahead of the spider is one of my fav. rep cd`s of all time

Somewhere on a higher mental plane I might learn to come in from the rain If I had a clue Would I still be here with you? Gee whiz, if I only had a brain
Who's that? Oh, my little friend Cupid Wearing a shirt that says I'm with stupid Always nearby wherever I go He's looking out for me, don't you know
Mr. Excitement, never in a rut Johnny-on-the-spot with an arrow in the butt Ouch! I guess your love is true Now... if I could only get a clue

Of course they count!

(Listening to Blazin´ as I type this.)

I mostly don´t like generic hip hop. Like eminem, 50 cent and so on...

Swedish hip hop is the best IMO. Like Timbuktu, promoe, svenska akademien etc.

Oh yeah, The Streets is actually "2 Step / British Garage" or "Anthem".
Stereo MCs is something between "New Jack Swing" and "G-Funk", while Herbalizer is into a more "Progressive Hop" or "Nu Electro" or "Ghetto Tech" direction

All of them have a slight influence of "Happy Gabber" and "Not-so-new South-western cornwall upbeat"
