I think the reason UK artists struggle in the US but Americans do so well in the UK is maybe because in the UK were exposed to a lot of US pop culture from birth. A lot of TV shows and music are imported from the US and if you go to any cinema in the UK its mostly American movies that dominate the roster.

[@jjfw96]

Real talk

[@chrisrhodes2]

UK artists struggle here because two corporations control our airwaves. Then a few corporations control what music really gets provided to those radio stations. We never hear UK artists. I can name 50 grime tunes that would be chart toppers and Grammy winners if they just were played for Americans to hear

[@TheHugooooooo]

it's the same if we listen to an australian rapper tho innit... the accent seems off

[@Aps3FanBoy]

I think it's more down to the fact that for such a small country we have so many different accents comfortably more than America I would bet and it throws them of because in America they only really know of two accents and that's a well spoken Accent such as Chelsea or cockney and that's it so I think it's more that the variation and the different pronunciation based on our accents just throws them of balance

It's all about Flow. US rappers naturally have a 'swing' to their accent. We talk very differently and have to try a bit harder to find a smoother flow. Especially if you want to be a hip-hop MC rather than a Grime MC.

[@stevebb2915]

Charlemagne actually talking sense, you could tell it took him a secound to wrap his head around Kano's flow but it will take the right production it needs to be different enough so that Americans don't thinks it's corny (which I feel a lot of them do). But similar enough that they can relate. I think if uk hip hop and grime ever did catch on in the US it would have to start off at a grass roots level with live shows and raves. I think once people felt the energy which is different to a lot of US rappers it would gather a following. If it comes pre packaged I think a lot of people will just turn there nose up.

[@greentown1]

I feel you, you're right.

[@enosger]

I think the real issue is the jafakin in a lot of emcees flows especially London emcees, I’m British btw, but I find U.K. emcees outside London sound more authentic, they generally don’t use a jafakin accent and the Americans appreciate it more especially when the flow is slow traditional emceeing

If someone says they aint feeling another rapper/mc then show the people that. Regardless of whos saying it, its one persons opinion. You cant just edit it and pretend it wasn't said... Thats deceiving the public and fans who watch this stuff. If he said he was terrible im sure enough people would defend it. Weather your a fan of bugzy or not hes got a strong enough fan base to take something like that. They probably thought it would damage his US credibility with it being charlemagne mabe i dont know, But thats the industry there all in, respect a mans honesty for saying it how he feels. Like alot of people are saying in the comments we shouldn't let Americans opinions dictate OUR culture anyway. This is england bro we should make music to connect to english listeners more anyway. they will never grasp it the same way we do.

S Kay dont get me wrong i love old skool US hip hop and rap its just nowadays even if tge beat and the tune bangs the lyrics,and actual spitting come across to me as a bit weak, not all US artists doe a few are good, and also US has some rappers who aint mainstream but still good

[@izri3383]

Truth is, us Americans don’t like the accent mixed with rap. It sounds weird idk. The accent is nice but if you rap with it it seems forced

[@AW-mf6oe]

IZRI no, our accent, when spoken in an aggressive tone gives off this dominating vibe. I wouldn’t say it’s “forced”. It’s just a matter of being open minded and accepting that other countries that are influenced by America are gonna do their thing. Not liking ones accent is a poor excuse to reject music.. it’s immature. I get it but at the same time I think Americans need to let in and promote other cultures apart from their own. I guess it’s just a bad habit of sticking to what you’re comfortable with

[@Sirjean5]

I think it's gonna be hard for a UK rapper to be fully accepted in the US . A lot have tried but Hip Hop heads in the US are closed minded to appreciating people rapping in a different accent because they believe rap as a genre started from the US which is true . Once in a while they might open up and accept certain artists, just like Drake made the US ride on the Skepta wave but it won't be long before the wave settles ... They're just a little arrogant to appreciate and want to understand the UK rap scene now and will take a long time to do so.... Who knows , well see ....

I can understand the accents very clearly if not better than we do our own countrymen. I think the way it should be worded is we don’t “feel” or “relate” to the accent as well. You need to understand that the accent in US Rap is a huge factor that in how American listeners perceive a rapper. To us the African American accent is how people associate someone with a certain demographic.

[@seangrahamfilm]

Good to hear CM giving constructive feedback.

[@onenation8707]

I’m proud of the UK scene regardless if Americans are feeling is or not I’ll explain why. The UK music culture was influenced by Ragga toasting (Jamaica) with Jungle (1994) drum & bass (1996 - present) and UK house & garage (1997) followed by Grime (2002 - present) that is where the UK scene came from. It was never influenced by American hip hop so boy better know. Before Jungle the UK had Hardcore and Rave music (late 80s - 1993) pioneered and created in the UK with that uptempo break beat sound then progressed to Jungle adding reggae style bass lines, ragga vocals and removing of piano riffs. The God fathers and pioneers of dance music The Prodigy (1990 - present) were also a massive influence and a big part of UK music culture. So before the Mcing or chatting on a mic - not rapping we already had own UK 🇬🇧 music scene

[@enosger]

I think you need to watch some grime history documentaries, the pioneers contradict you, dizzie says he was into south rap specifically 3 6 mafia, Wiley say the same and the so solid guys, even Jon e cash says he wanted to make hip hop with the American attitude but with a U.K. twist.

Wretch 32 had me really thinking with his bars. That shit was incredible. MAJOR TALK

[@72vince27]

If I were a British rapper I'd just send Charlemagne 6 bottles and watch his opinion change. That's all it takes to comprise his integrity, in 2 seconds you'd have em like "Bruv that was merky, I can't wait till man hear this fam"

[@kmutindi88]

got a problem wuth the accent but you listen to gucci lol

+AaronG TV it's the slang not language and it's hard to get it when you don't know cultural references like they won't get a punch line about football or suttin

Nines is the hardest dude. North London stand up.

Good but overrated

Ohh... You're a KZbin badman, you should've said so before!! I'd better stay away from your LINE for real then! Anyway... North West London Stand Up!

[@nicenow25]

Really good feedback

[@Purestplace]

That's Dope maan.

[@mikee101]

yo man.. Charlamagne on point with that answer about uk rappers being accepted in the U.S

[@bopeeplauerent676]

I cannot be the only one hearing these grime rappers and thinking for the majority of the time what they're saying is so basic and borderline shit not even worthy of true credit, like surly if what they were saying was as good as you guys gas they would be like tupac and biggie made it big globally and be mainstream no? i see ctg reaction and its clear what he's thinking

[@zrm2day]

tbh you are the only one mate

[@bopeeplauerent676]

Makaveli MK guess you have to have grown up with it or something. I think of it like the older guys in the states who say the 90s was the best era for rap and the younger guys have no idea what there're talking about lel

[@zrm2day]

yh i did grow up on it, and yh i think the old generation is betta than new

[@bopeeplauerent676]

Makaveli MK i agree that the older generation is better but grime is marmite

[@soupalot]

I agree with both of you but some decent grime artists do chat about real stuff. But some chat about shit- same with US rappers. For every biggie and tupac there's a french montana. I genuinely think it's a language issue with Americans... plus UK mcs talk a lot faster than us rappers.

[@DJAUDIO1]

It would be great to hear real UK rappers on American radio and clubs. I'm American and I hate most current American rappers out. UK guys can actually spit bars and it isn't mumble raps or swagger rapping.

[@ADMAFIA210]

I agree with the whole accent thing can't really tell what they saying...like shotty horrah spit in battles he's dope...but when they tongue twist you can't understand what they saying on top of the accent...but that third video...damn...that one was straight fire...I literally almost spit out my food laughing so hard....damn

[@FredoSantana90]

Theres nuff sick uk rappers but Kano is dead u man stop lying to urself he sounds corny. He had bangers back in the early/mid 2000's though not gonna lie.

[@grime7002]

Wheres him listening to Bugzys bruh?

[@MrLabz786]

He cut it out because he didn't rate Bugzy. Lol

[@grime7002]

Bugzy killed his fire in the booth, Charlie even said it was the best.

[@MrLabz786]

+Grimestar Rapper loool but Charlamaign didn't rate it when he heard it. So Charlie didn't include it

[@grime7002]

how do you know? he didnt show so no one knows just speculating

[@MrLabz786]

+Grimestar Rapper the uncut version with Bugzy in it was on Facebook but it's deleted now

[@berhanwar]

#2 was lit!

[@Entrepenegro1]

And this is why I fux with Charlemagne tha Devil. He keeps it 300% 😌🙏🏾Production + Marketing is the key to success for a UK rapper to break that glass ceiling in the American music scene. I really think Wretch 32 could do it.

[@colonelsanders4006]

production + marketing is what kills underground music culture

[@aaronp611]

+Colonel Sanders true

[@scooterstudios123]

Kano was absolutely shit. lmao. Charlemagne was just being polite. He just said ting repeatedly. That's not rhyming..

[@Nyle95]

You are fucking clueless if you think Kano is shit. Do you know who he is?

[@kurtpullen7806]

But they can understand Jamaican rap, cant understand UK/Grime even though half of them rap with Jamaican slang

[@Scoobay]

I don't think they can understand dancehall. At least, not as good as most English people.

[@fashionablylate888]

True. Americans like energy and aggression. If you're spittin str8 from the heart they'd probably like you

[@cov9290]

It's not all from Jamaica it's from cockney as well

[@nic2154572]

the third beat was a song by the x's in their first album aswell as sampled by Rihanna in her unapologetic album

[@slimblu1]

This is the most humble I've ever seen Charlamagne

[@brangomo]

I really think Charlamagne was lying. You can really tell the only one he thought was good was Akala. I don't blame him... I doubt most of the rap fans outside UK really would like the way the music of any of the most famous UK grime rappers sound, they might like 1 or 2 songs but that's it

[@robbiejames1466]

akala is number 1

[@OriginalNutta]

Guess it comes down to if the us culture likes a certain artists style and mannerisms everyone embraced skeppy in the USA personally I think he put in a lot of work caught bare attention everyone slowly started riding the BBK wave

[@p-hawk1956]

Ice T took note to DJ Supreme, DJ Undercover & Kamanchi Sly's spitting lyrics in the end of 1980s. They were called Hijack. They never got their dues, and DJ Supreme is one of the greatest scratch DJS, first DJ to do the whistle scratch. DJ Supreme still drops the Britcore beats and Kamanchi Sly, Icepick, Curoc, & DJ Devastate from Demon Boyz deserve their props, because they have been around since end of the 80s. Still rhyming. Still scratching. kzbin.info/www/bejne/en6nZ6WFg66dfac

[@phenomena17]

UK will never be better than the US because Rap came from the states. you can never over rule the original period. just like reggae and Jamaica, you cant beat the roots

[@richardrich1384]

phenomena17 football came from England and we are not the best at that.

[@archiefew3601]

That’s stupid logic.

[@phenomena17]

@@richardrich1384 football was invented by the ancient Greek where they use pigs belly as a ball, go do the research, England just modified it a bit....

@@archiefew3601 that's nothing stupid about my logic, so ur telling me a Chinese man fresh from China can do Afrobeats song better than subsaharan African??? If that the case why is UK trying to be accepted by the states.... America are and will forever be the best rappers

[@barca158]

US relies entirely on production. UK possess the true talent

[@StylistecS]

Talal505 that’s laughable unless you’re comparing it to today’s mainstream. If not, it’s laughable to think the Ike compares all time to the us in talent in skills.

[@OriginalDJPlatinum]

Personally I don't think this was the best showcase for the British talent that we have over here. But out of the 3, Akala was the best in my opinion.

[@superdupeninja8149]

The third rapper was rapping over the "Drunk on Love" beat

[@MoeReeseWins]

Leave the rap game to North America. Y’all can do R&B and other genres.

[@StylistecS]

Maurice Dorsey R&B belongs to America. You must be a 90s baby.

[@DankBudwoi]

Why does uk always care what us thinks

[@aaaa-xf3hx]

we don't but this guy is a DJ so he makes more money the more mainstream he can make the music he plays and he doesn't care about what the US thinks he cares about what the one most famous people in the rap industry thinks he just happens to be American

[@badmanting558]

We don't give a fuck what u think
