Rap music to me means Chuck D, Beastie Boys, Afrika Bambaataa or even the godfather himself Gil Scott Heron RIP.

Not some pasty Irish kid who is pissed off cos he cant afford an ipad 4 (or whatever ****ing version is out now)

What might the blonde girl featured in the advert givin it socks into da mic be sayin?

"yeah but.. no but yeah but.. Yehyeah"

only thing them kids'll be concerned about in 50yr is hip-op

Seachmall · 18-02-2012 2:01am

Yeah, the vast majority of it is cringe worthy but I wouldn't say that "Irish" and "Rap" don't go together.

It's music. Very rarely is a specific genre only possible by someone of a certain nationality (or race, which often comes up when talking about rap/hip-hop).

It's in a very early stage with a very limited pool of performers to pull from.

Give it 10 years and I think we'll see way more defined talent in the Irish rap scene.

alandublin33 · 18-02-2012 2:01am

rap is good, rap is great, a rap by an Irish man is the **** I hate .... maybe I should give it a go

I'm assuming that's "MissElayneous", skip to 1:30 to bypass the banter with funny accents.

Is the grafton street junkie rapper going to be on it?...that's the only way it will get any street cred.

Liam Byrne · 18-02-2012 2:05am

Glad someone's already posted Messiah J - I used to think this genre was ****e until I discovered them a few years back.

The fact that you actually think Spiral influenced Irish Hip-Hop says it all, yeah. I've head he's he's had to leave hip-hop events because he gets so much abuse wherever he goes.

She has a very unusual style alright.

I wouldn't call her a chav though. She just has one of those funny accents you hear before getting mugged.

And she's shite live (I haven't seen here live, just videos on YouTube).

She's a better poet/artist than most of Aos Dána.

Don't judge Irish hip hop by spiral. He's an embarrssment.

In fairness the lyrics are pretty good, and it's not the typical "Gangsta" bull**** most often associated with rap. It's directly relevant and relatable to her area and (presumably) from her experience. At least it's better than most of the Pop **** that's doing the rounds.

Sindri · 18-02-2012 2:59am

I know a lad from Tallaght who thinks he's a rapper.

Suffice it to say I abuse him at every opportunity.

so stick em on sky arts with all the metalheads

Bobby Baccala · 18-02-2012 3:00am

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:
