    Like i honestly wanna know, you can't deny theres talent amongst some MC's over in the UK

    And using the accent thing as an excuse not to listen to them is bs, since most people (like me) put up with the accent in US Rap

    if you listen to these tracks and you still don't like rap, then fair enough, but listen to these and comment what you think

    ..how is that relevant? what you do has nothing to do with what anyone else does, and the accent is exactly why no one in the US listens to UK or AUS rap. lol you can't make that fact not count by saying "it doesn't count because i don't care about it" that's listerally the reason

    because it's jarring to anyone who doesn't hear the accent on a daily basis and can make it sound like someone is off beat
    the only reason to get past the accent is if you really, really want to but for a lot of people there's no reason to want to because theres enough music that you don't have to force yourself to like being put out over here
