[mortuus est]

nah, show me the originality of a distinct UK black culture that has no roots in Afram culture.

another one I haven't mentioned






It don't stop

people been dropping stuff in here and you guys just dispute it with your own warped perception like mr trump , thats long

 

[mortuus est]

that's not what was stated.

TWO UK brehs said that London created drill, and we copied them.

Ain't no technically. Jamaicans can't claim hip hop. Even Herc said he couldn't play any Jamaican music at his Bronx Parties

The music was built off break beats not reggae.

This. We weren’t even fukking with Jamaican music like that til the early 90’s.

If you have something that's undeniably a UK Black original/not Afram connected, no one will be able to dispute it

No one wants to dress like Americans tho, Americans on average dress terrrrrible

No one? Better tell that to them Hip Hop heads out in Asia breh And London nikkas dress like Europeanized New Yorkers lol

we created this evolution stage of drill, i agree with them
things go in steps , it is what it is

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

Nah but UK doesn't even try to be original

Everything in uk mainstream is a bite from either Jamaica or USA

And with Afro-everything poppin off heavy in the UK these days (Afro Swing, Afro House, Afro Trap, AfroBeats, etc.), UK mainstream biting from Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa too.

This is bullshyt. No the struggle is not universal when you have UK posters and those from outside AA culture dehumanizing and minimizing our struggles over here in the US and downplaying the culture that they copy and clone from. As if their own culture isn’t co-opted from other countries. If all struggles are the same; then there would be a respect for boundaries which clearly they had no problem crossing and using against us. The energy should be kept- poverty is not the great unifier and collectivity that you’re making it out to be as displayed by non US posters on this thread and I’m sure they bring into real life since they had no issue with using it as a response. That kumbaya, one accord was set to the side the moment UK dude thought using urban plight in America like a diss track was a good idea because his feelings were hurt and he can’t accept the truth.

I don’t think you get the point, no one can copyright being poor and living in harsh conditions, anywhere in the world, especially block people, so the things a uk or black man in France would talk about in relation to being poor and having to survive would be the same anywhere in the world, heck a white boy in Ireland or a Latino in Mexico could relate also, so when someone asks what’s the story what are these guys talking about, it’s the same thing, struggle is universal and so is killing so is murders and anything else.

What’s not unique is the platform they’re using to tell the story, so if it’s via Hip Hop be it drill or trap this is directly taken from Black Americans, other genres like Afrobeats or Grime have a direct influence also, that’s the point.

What clothes have American flags on them?

would you accept a mountain as supporting evidence that europeans love american fashion and that they even wear clothes with american flags on them?

I like UK- I’ll have you know, I stream all shows from PBS Masterpiece, Acorn TV, and Brit Box ; along with all seasons of Top Boy and Summerhouse

Don’t think these UK dudes can come at the guys over here in America stateside and pop off without consequences - I’m defending my territory and my city

Low key you be riding too hard doe... It does sound like secret admiration.
