A sad reflection of the British hip hop scene.
Name the best person /crew in the UK right now.


Everybody's entitled to their own opinion but you obviously know fuck all objective about music or hip hop.


That Silver Bullet track is 26 years old and was way ahead of it's time, it's still ahead of it's time now ffs.

Who else spits in a style even remotely like that then or since? Nobody, and the lad was only 18 at the time.
He's got lyrics, flow, and a flawless delivery with attitude.

It's a cutting edge track from top to bottom, and the production is amazing for a low budget effort in 1990.


Dude toured with EnVogue and Public Enemy, worked with Russell Simmons at Def Jam and has been remixed by Fat Boy Slim.

Yeah, a really sad reflection of talent I'm sure.






As for the best person in the UK right now hip hop/rapper wise, that debate could go on forever, we have a shit load of good rappers with so many different styles.

My opinion is the best rapper we have is 'Lowkey' and has been for a years.

Nice grow Oscar mad calyxs
Cheers. That's what NFT does. I used to get the calyxs stacking like that in soil but only the top ones but in NFT they are all like that. It just ends up like bunches of frozen peas and the chop is easier you almost don't need scissors lol
I'm going back to NFT after this run. A badly timed holiday fucked with my timing. I'm only doing four exo under 1200 well 1320 if I turn the ballasts to full. They look like they'll fill the space enough. I've got a glue to chuck in next week so it should be ok. If I get anywhere near a GPW I'll be surprised though.
Any tips for GG#4? It looks a bit pale atm so I've given it a blast with some nitrozyme but I think I need some cal mag to green it up a bit.

I haven't been measuring the EC in coco. I've just been doing 4ml of A+B and root stim. I guess I'm 50% short of what it needs then. It's only small atm though.

I might have to listen to his work when I'm in a better mood.
When I think old school rap I think digital underground,DJ Quik etc,not familiar with UK stuff,
I'll check out lowkey and merlin later on,have a good one.
