I'm a huge hip hop fan and i have to say the majority of irish hip hop is pure concentrated shíte.

It's not an irish thing and it should be left to americans and some english people, in saying that there is some half decent irish artists out there but as i said the majority = scutter.

LH Pathe · 18-02-2012 3:04am

I was lax one time and liked a bit of rap, whether tricky or roots or bestial boyz long as it featured musicianship in there too

but mosta what that scene gave leeway to, 99.999% shìte alrite

The only reason Americans, and English to some extent, have dominated rap is because they've been doing it much longer and they've much larger populations.

"No expression but blaspheming and swearing to distant gods,
Coupled with your confidence and rights education is down trod; and non-existent,
"Scumbags" not worth opportunity,
Not given half a chance in this so-called "community""

Saying that's simply "mouthing off" is hardly fair.

Nothing to do with it.

3 white rappers, completely different styles. Some of the best of their subgenres.

Only mainstream rap is dominated by ethnic minorities, once you exclude Eminem of course.

Agree it will be cringe worthy in the extreme BUT, the blonde bird in the add would get the good news.

LH Pathe · 18-02-2012 3:22am

Even back in heyday of black culture w/ all the great musicality in funk n soul, you'd think it messed up all our thin lizzy heads were going around like the black folk from across the water. Stylish as it was

so you can bet u all look like mega clowns today. What an unfortunate dominant yoof scene yous have bn born into

It's a slur for white people who are into the hip-hop culture.

It was a joke by the way, in case anyone gets offended.

Should be spelt "Wigger".

aah i see, it's just that you spelt wigger wrong and i hadn't a clue what you were talking about, well it'd be discussed a lot more thoroughly in the hip hop forum instead of the random shít gettin said in this thread.

Samich · 18-02-2012 3:34am

Weirdly just after seeing one of those comments on youtube, you know them "thumbs up, so people can see my talent, just need a chance" things. Was one for an irish rapper :pac:

Wigers. They're a cross between a Whale and a Tiger. Probably my favourite animal.

IMO the Cork accent is more suited to hip hop because it has a natural rhythm and melody to it. The Dub accent is too flat`.

I rember when people said the same about British hip hop. Its very new in this country but I have heard talent.

Same here. Didn't even know Ireland had a rap scene really but I heard that song on a radio show for Irish music and I liked it. Listened to some of their other stuff and it was just as good.

Had completely forgotten about them and that song, glad it's back in my head.

SpikeMilligan · 21-02-2012 9:38pm

Thought the documentary was good. It could have focused more on the music and less on the some of the background stories.Still, if it promote some of the talent in Ireland, then happy days.

Nobody who raps in Ireland was inspired in the slightest by Spiral. THAT opinion is way off.

Anyway heres two vids that were on the doc last night

Class az - the evidence is probably one of the best rap tunes to come out in the last year (worldwide), irish rap has come a long way and weve got some talent in this country, l love seeing the typical racist responses of 'wigger' and other phrases implying rap is only for black people. Yet another successful AH thread

davet82 · 22-02-2012 1:01pm

for me an irish guy rapping is like a chinese lad with a bodhran, they just dont go together

buck65 · 22-02-2012 1:03pm

On the Republic of Telly the other night there was a gang from Carlow rapping, it was very funny and good.
Messiah J are decent and I'm sure there is some decent stuff around too.
