There is a white rapper from England, he's amazing. He doesn't do the gangster thing, just a white kid rapping. Great beats, odd/unique delivery, and the songs are really funny without being cheesy or poppy. The Steets
hes old news. Pretty original stuff tho. Its concidered as a offshoot of garage music here. i like it. then again i like lotsa things.
I read about him being the "English Eminem" I'm starting to get more into European hip-hop. Zebda, for instance.
As far as I know, he never made that claim. But everyone in the US that's written about him have called him that, (I.e. Rolling Stone, not surpriseing.
I find it MUCH more original then eminem. His lyrics themselves are really a step forward for hip hop (more mainstream stuff anyway)
