Plan B is a bit of fun.
Roots Manuva is great live. The new Dizzee is really fresh musically.
Kinda Bomb Squad type beats on the single Sirens. I like Akala's
track Shakespeare - the one that sampled Tomcraft. Clever concept and
works well! There is a French MC who worked in Detroit lately, I
forget his name! He's fresh and soulful.

What's the general verdict on Roots Manuva ?
I've not heard any new material from him for a while but I still
love Brand
New Second Hand, Run Come Save Me & Dub Come Save Me.
He's the best UK MC that I know of.
I'm looking forward to checking out some of these recommendations tho.
Kind regards,
Gary

On the british tip, any MC that tries to sound American is as weak as
almost all Americans who try to make Drum and Bass. People I have
respect for -- like the Streets, and Goldie Lookin Chains -- aren't
even trying to make real hip hop: they're doing something uniquely
British. They don't hit me in the heart like the best American hip
hop, but they sound like themselves, not like they spent their youths
in a pub listening to Biggie on their walkman, fantasizing about
walking the mean streets of NYC.
I'm very picky about hip hop as well. When it's on, it's
Shakespeare-caliber word play backed by beats that make you want to
cry. When it's not, well, it's like 99% of all musical culture --
crap.

Mehdi is more like Timbaland but open about his influences. He used
to produce MC Solaar.
i never really liked solaar either. to be honest, aside from a
couple
of UK emcees, i find most non-american hiphop to just be missing
something.
