The US side isn't that inspiring at the moment, frankly - I mean
MIMS, Lloyd Banks, Fabolous - and the underground is about as boring!
The general view in the hip hop industry is that Americans would
never accept a non-American MC. Don't the Brits hate all their MCs?
The UK guys always complain about that when coming here! ;)

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.
I agree, although I really struggle with most British MCs too. It's
kind of like asking a Papua New Guinean to yodel. That said, I've
got some time for MC Solaar and a few other exceptions to the rule.
