    Because most of it is bad now

    I can say that and it's fine because I'm British

    imagine what the f--- was going through the Brits heads when they tried to colonize Australia

    "ok lets let a heap of convicts off on Australia to colonize it. They'll have to spend each and every day doing ridiculous amounts of excercise and physical activity while braving the harsh hot, humid, sunny and dry climates just to survive! Not only that, but they'll have to fend of the countless tribes of cannibalistic native people with minimal gear in lands they don't know. Also there's a f--- ton of plants, wildlife and sea life that can just k--- them at the drop of a hat. Pretty much the perfect environment to breed the super soldiers. they'll build the country up and we'll just come back and take it when it's all ready :lolbron:"

    they had no idea what they were in for on january 1901 when they arrived back in Aus to claim it as there own

    Generally speaking, music is regional I think. Hence why it's hard for international acts to penetrate the US market.

    And when they do it's a big deal.

    those rappers are only hard for you to understand because you don't smoke weed, pop pingas and sink lean with the boys. they aren't even accents, they are people speaking while high on drugs.

    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
