Tsk - I think some grime works - at least those guys are not trying to sound American - a lot of the MCs DO sound like petulant teens having a tantrum (cos mainly they are) and are trying to spit out too many syllables, but people like Wiley have really found their own unique sound and fair play to them. I think it's daft to say it's 'like asking a Papua New Guinean to yodel' - you can't say that only the Americans can rap - that's misplaced imperial pride at work and I thought only Brits suffered from that!

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.
