    A guy in my class is in an Irish hip hop group. They actually have some great music! They are going to be on that show too.

    Not sure the oul Duublin accent really lends itself to doing a bitta rappin, ya know, bud?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    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)

    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.

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

    image search shows she somehow juggles her rap with a leaning toward punk. or probably changed her tune in the most treacherous of manners as the fence she straddles is frankly barbed! are chavs really seen as the modern punk will check her out now I hope she's takin the p

    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.

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


    Suffice it to say I abuse him at every opportunity.
