Roll Deep's 'Shake a Leg' has a very annoying Chorus, but everything else is alright. Might have to buy their album.

Argh.
Yes, er. go for it if you like the style, but personally I found the whole album to be painfully dissapointing. But t'is a good pop-y stepping stone into the whole grime 'ting' ;)

The worst thing I've heard recently is an English Hip-Hop song and I'm not sure exactly how it goes, but the chorus is like 'London, something something, Birmingham, something something, etc..'
And it just points out how uncool and unglamorous most of the cities in England sound compared to Brooklyn, The Bronx, Los Angeles, Compton, Queensbridge, Chicago, etc

I remember a British hip-hop song that was sung in a bland voice, with an almost punk-sound to the vocals.
I last heard it about a year back when I played Tony Hawks 4...

Up your speed?
Not exactly the best Sway tune ever, but it's the mosy pop-y one he's done.
Try and have a listed to 'This is my Promo Vol.1'. He's lyrically hilarious, AND he can emcee.

Yeh I like Sway, I haven't got his album (does he even have one?) or anything but i've seen a few videos with him in and he's very funny.
I think he was in 'Harvey Nicks' tune from the Mitchell Brothers, his part was hilarious. Taking the pi$$ out of Butlins. :D

No albums as such, but he's got two mixtapes out. I think they've both ranked as the highest selling UK mixtapes ever, or something. He is big. I've seen them for a couple of quid each down at jumpoff.tv ( [URL]http://www.jumpoff.tv[/URL] ), or you could just 'obtain' them.

Probably one of his best verses I've heard, although this 'Tipsy' remix/refix/whateveryawannacallit is pretty good too. Worth a listen. I think he's got a full blown album coming out in the new year.
Already seen him live once. Might be seeing him along with Skinny and Klashnekoff @ Ministry of Sound in the near future ;)

On a completely different note;
Did anyone keep an eye on the Hip-Hop Power Summit over the weekend? I can't say I heard too much of it, 1xtra kept a pretty damn good coverage going all weekend. The MC battle was pretty impressive, too. With Jin cleaning up, and walking away with $50k.
Pro Green was representing the UK, and did so with style. Hunt around the 1xtra site and you can listen to all 3 battles that happened on the night. And it has various other streams, most of which are fecking good. I reccomend the JAzzy Jeff set from the Notting Hill Carnival for tru hip-hop genius DJing (and I've seen him live!! :P)

Yes its more than solid, its a classic! I think you unfortunately listened to the only weak track (Hot Sex) on the whole album. For a sneak preview try listening to (downloading) Steve Biko (Stir it up), electric relaxation or God lives through.

That album and KRS-One self-titled are two Hip-Hop albums I've always wanted but have always been second priority to other CDs. I finally got KRS-One off eBay, I know that one day for sure I'll have to get Midnight Marauders. I have Electric Relaxation and it is very excellent indeed, I'll try and download the other two you recommended and hopefully it'll kick me into gear and I'll finally buy the album.
Niddle, anything with Jazzy Jeff involved is going to be pure gold :D I saw the repeat of the Urban Music Festival on T4 recently and him and Will Smith completely stole the show!
As for Sway.. Slick Rick and Roots Manuva are the only English rappers I've been able to bear to listen to. The accents everyone else put on while they're rapping just sound so weird.
