Skinnyman dropped one of the best UK rap albums (council estate of mind).

I’ve lit a few spliffs with Alex just b4 he blew up he’s a total gentleman :)

Got me thinking of up your speed with sway or hold on (hold tight to what you own) Kit Kat rappers lol jokers

I’ve been to some epic nights and met some of these guys.. to me they are legends ❤️

Yeah he really is a nice guy isn't he. Very down to earth and incredibly intelligent. Was gutted that he never blew up tbh.

Agreed. One of the best ever.

Damn, forgot about this.. will be on that tomorrow!

I’m old so I’d argue Kalashnekoff, Fallacy or pretty much half of the old mud fam (skinny, Chester), got to give a mention for doc brown though, new album is nice, still going

Fucking love a bit of k-lash tho... it’s murda, black rose etc yeah... gonna bang that parrowdice album like NOW lol

Yeh that K-lash album was a banger, actually gave it another listen not long ago and it’s still a fucking banger. I’d say any from K-lash, Kano, Taskforce and Jehst.

shed you know the deal lol! but there is no way we can put this down to ONE best uk rapper, Klash & terra firma... MUD fam, That arab uk guy from deal real days cant remember his name but TOP lyricist, Too many to mention TBH,

Shit even used to bump pound sterling and RSG. So much styles in the UK rap scene over the last 15 years its hard to say whos the number 1!

I love doc Brown's music, but the guy's an arsehole

K-lash though, man he can rap!! Even the young'uns love his stuff too

He had some absolutely bangers tbf citizen Smith vol 2 no more said

That parrowdice album is absolutely timeless never get bored of listening to it, pound sterling use to like some of his stuff from back in the day? Can you remember channel u, that was on sky, had all the upcoming young english talent, use to watch religiously, use to have some mad guys on there!!!!

Great shout there - were you also a Yungun fan? He’s back with new stuff under ‘Essa’ - still awesome! Also used to bang Universal Soldiers every single day - going to put it on now in fact, happy Friday all!

Yungun! Yeah man, he had a phat album with Mr Thing called GMB (grown man business) and he got a song on there called 'peter pan syndrome' which actually makes my heart bleed.... that dude is an entertainment lawyer now!

Top album!! Yeah man that’s crazy isn’t it!! Wiccaman theory by Chester P used to get me like that! The ten pound bag mixtapes were brilliant too. Loving this thread, now reminded me of how much I love Dabbla and LDZ, having a great day :D

Ten pound baaaaagggg...oh my days... the problem with smoking so much weed is I forget too much music lol...damn, louis slipperz on the mix...some of the beats of those were mind-wreckingly phat...man, I got to dig those out...yeah, loving this thread too man, nice to know I'm not the only one still rocking out Taskforce and Skinnyman and shit...oh shit...Sway...remember that cat? He did the tune over the car racing tune..ah shit...memory lol...I know the one, think it was called 'up your speed', so many bangers lost to the pit of my weeded memory lol...

Hahaha mate 100% the same!! Weeded memory sucks!! Yeah I’d completely forgotten about Sway! Flo’ Fashion was an absolute banger as well!!

Anything off that album was fantastic.

Download still cracks me up when he's talking about going to an Internet cafe to find a man named napster haha.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii give yooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuu, bluebells... The memories!

Jehst..lyrically stunning and his delivery unrivalled!

OLDsKoOl... Return of the drifter was an epic album.. still gets alot of play in my dojo lol! How could we forget Jehst!

You like braintax too?

Agree with pretty much all of the below suggestions.

Recently found this banger by Kano, D double E and Ghetts.... Such a tune, such great energy... Real uk OG's. Kano's got the longevity

... enjoy ...

Kano is tremendous live too. And so is d double e....ghetts is passable but compared to the other 2 he falls short in my eyes. I've seen all 3 of them perform multiple times

Yeah that live performance is sick!

Didn’t even need to play this via link got this one backed up on the old I tunes... Badabapbap!!! Big tune

Kano

Def a personal favourite. Don’t think he’s made an average album and seen him live a couple times and never disappointed.

Rodney P’s got to be on this list!!

Anyone remember roots manuva?

Witness the fitness!!! Legend

taskmaster burst the bionic zit spitter, break neck speeds we drown 10 pints of bitter.

Gotta be klashnekoff, that mans next level!!!!

Still listen to “sagas of kalashnekoff”. If anyone is wondering, the film used for the skits is “Babylon”. A great film, its like a reggae “commitments”

Every Thursday at 7pm we should all go outside and start shouting "can't take no more of that"

You sir are a genius.

Hahahahaha yessssss man!!!!

Definitely gonna check that out, nice one!!

Boom!
K, lash your rasclart neck off

Split you in half like a gum blast from lennox!!! LENNOX!!!

Get dropped on your doorstep like Dando. Who writes that haha?

That black cunt outta stokie, banana mango munching monkey, ill kick off ya door like jumanji!!! Hahahaha that guy!!!

FOCUS MODE "This is hot shit! You don't know silly, come on buy that"

Fliptrix, Chester P, Akala, Lowkey and skinny man... Can't really claim one is better than the other, they have all reached maxed skill in their unique styles

Glad to see someone get fliptrix in there. Saw him and skinny man live at subterranea just before lockdiwn and its unreal how much stage presence fliptrix has...and he's a fucking giant lol

Akala for the win. Definitely NOT Skinnyman... Although I did like Council Estate of Mind.

Bullet from a guuuuuuunnnnn!!! Derek B was the fucking man, he must have been one of my first UK hip hop heroes! Ahhh, this brings back memories..who remembers Normski?! Cannot for the life of me remember the show he had on tv for a while but I fucking loved it...

Was it called Def 2 on BBC 2?

Ooooh, that rings a bell...really can't pull it out of my brain, Normski was the presenter and it was literally the only thing on tv that had any flavour at all, was late on a Friday night iirc

As much as I properly love late 90s/early 200s UKHH, I have to say that Dabbla is right up there for me.

LDZ, Dead Players, his stuff on HF, and his solo albums on Potent Funk, he's kept it fresh, pushed hard and spits like nobody else. His wordplay is incredible.

Dabbla isassivley slept on. Psychoville is a masterpiece

Hmmmm, Good question man, Jehst is up there for me.. But, with the new school vibes of like Ocean Wisdom, Verb-T. I’m not sure anymore :)

Top reply that! Early Jehst is hard to beat in my book! Chester P also up there - more recently loving Lee Scott (by no means would class him as UKs greatest but he’s a personal fav of mine :)

Chester P is also a bloody lovely bloke to boot. A carer these days and seems.to have his head properly screwed on

Chester P for mayor!!

Ches is a fucking dude...he dropped one of the hottest 'fire in the street' freestyles ever...dude is deep as fuck, massive respect for him.

MC Pitman ftw!

Loooool...Witness the Pitness.....ah man, forgot all about him

Second that!

Silver Bullet, hands down is the best UK rapper (really showing my age). 20 Seconds was good but 'Bring forth the Guillotine' is a classic.

Slick Rick

Uk rapper lmao

Born and raised in London before moving to the US lmao

Some greats already mentioned! but Dizzie rascal has to be in there for me! . Stefflon don , Jaykae and Bugzy Malone have some tunes too. Could be cheating but 21 savage as well I’m sure I saw he was from Newham originally?

I think he is you know!!! Who was the the other mc how was orginally in the newham generals, cant remember his name to stoned!!! Haha, ive even seen him live aswell at show at london dungeons, my mate won vip ticketsto see them and dizzee and jammer!!! Only 200 people whata fucking night that was!!! Still cant remeber his name!!! Haha

Monkstar!!!! I knew i get it in the end!! Haha he was sick

So many of these roads lead right back to DIzzie

I'm younger than some on this thread so don't know too many old school UK rappers. Mainly like old American rappers/mcs from the 90s, but would also give a vote to skinny man. Council Estate of mind is one my favourite albums of all time and its criminal he's not better known (In the mainstream).

If we're talking about modern day.. casisdead is currently the best in the scene/UK in my opinion, bar none. Can't wait for his new album to drop.

Chester P in my opinion. I'll never sell my early TaskForce vinyl

Love a bit of Chester and early Task Force... Great shout!

Dave for me. His lyrics and musical ability is unrivalled imo

Wretch 32 for technicality

Ty (RIP my bro), Skinny, Manuva. Orifice.

Mic righteous??????

Showing my age ( and probably giving away that I’m more of a guitar guy ) but The Streets first album is awesome

I think for me it’s Potter Payper if you want that real rap but grime wise I’m going to say Ghetts.

No one shuts down a race like d double,
But ghetts is definitely the best lyricist in grime

JME all day. Showing my age now.
Rating Ocean Wisdom atm tho
Far too many good ones to list on here tho.

JME is good but I think Skepta takes it for me man

Double S rap dis tho <<<<

So many to choose from such as Ghetto but I'm gonna have to go for his old mate Kano. Special place in my heart for that donny.

kanot sorry, but i'm open to you convincing me otherwise

Yeah technically Kano is a master... but never liked his style

I get what you mean I'm mainly on about his first shit after that he got annoying as fuck when he switched his style tbh lol

It’s all a bit mid 2000s Roll Deep etc. Good proving grounds for the future, some good MCs came out of it, but in itself it’s pretty shit. I mean compare that to some Wu Tang shit, which I guess would be the New York streets equivalent 15 years earlier... doesn’t even compare.

All completely subjective but

Kano is my all-time favourite.

Boy in da corner was a groundbreaking album, and has stood the test of time (still sounds amazing to this day) so Dizzee has to have a place on the UK rap Mount Rushmore.

Also high ratings and much love for Klashnekoff, JME, Sway, Devlin, and Roots Manuva.

MF Doom - Rap
Trim - Grime

Funky DL (Old school) & Wretch 32 (Nu School)

For skill, Harry shotta. Me personally. Then Kalashnekov dizzee and the streets. A grand don’t come for free was a masterpiece

Wee man n neds kru. If you dont like yer a dafty!

50 pence. Lmao. No only joking. I rate sway as one of the best UK rappers.

Baz and Pete the old boyz. Got to show your respect to them.😁

Caveman.

Not the most original post, but if what I read on the internet it true, then I would say MF DOOM, (apparently born in London).

I know he doesn’t rap anymore, but Plan B in his prime was exceptional. The Paint it Blacker Mixtape is one of my all time favourites

It’s gotta be Skepta or Dizzee man!

Nothing touches Konichiwa, Boy in da corner or Showtime.. nothing!

Dave

No mention of Devlin, for shame LB.

Check his fire in the booth B)

Could you possibly smack your folks round the face and tell them to stop opening your post ?

I’m sure if you spoke to the vendor and paid a little more they would come up with something inventive to keep your nosey parents none the wiser. I’ve had bud turn up in the back of a trio of golf balls before

Good way of looking at the problem

Usually the stealth is so good here even if they opened it it’s not obvious what it is ;-)

randomly order dildos from amazon, problem solved.

I'm in the same situation. Is it really that obvious what's in the package? It shouldn't be because it will be handled by the postman, who should remain oblivious about what he's delivering. My folks are very unlikely to open something that's addressed to me and I guess you could always make up some stuff about guitar strings or something that applies to you.

A trusted friend?

If you were talking big quantity theres always the option to rent a PO BOX from the Royal Mail.

For personal though its likely too expensive.

Best suggestion is just catching the postie before anyone else, or if youve got a nearby friend who can pass it on (2 metres away ) :-)

Only way I could think would be to use a courier, and choose the option to collect from your nearest depot, I know Parcelforce do this.

But I’d say that’s probably a bit much to ask of a vendor in my opinion.

Alternatively could you not avail of the great weather and wait outside your home and incept the mail as it’s delivered?

Good luck though!

Order to an amazon locker mate ;)

Hmmm, I didn't realise you can send things to an Amazon locker if your not shopping from amazon?

You can’t, he’s tripping

Were hallucinating mate XD

Hi, first of all don't worry. I have had the same thing happen a few times now. It is just a technical issue that the site does not pick up that the payment has gone to the address you sent it to. Contact transaxe support they have been brilliant and they will sort it out for you, your order will go from timed out to paid and all will be good. I know you panic when it goes wrong but they can easily see who paid what and amend it.

Lots of ways without those ridiculous (imho) rigs. Chop up very little pieces into a joint or even a hand rolled Cigarette. Very efficient way to get THC into your bloodstream quickly.

Thanks man. Might get myself some. Any recommendations for delivery to England?

I like the imported stuff much, much better try 1st National Dispensary or Cali World.

That's weird. I've enquired with both of those and they both said they don't ship to UK.

Thanks dude. You ever tried cap n crunch?

I tried captain crunch, both the "wax" and "shatter" (There were two on offer and I ordered both)
It was my first time though. I bought a basic dab rig and blow torch thingy. (melted marshmallow is the best) Most people who dab want to avoid smoking mass amounts to get really stoned from what I can tell. I really like dabs. Definitely gets you high. I'm in Aus so have never seen any locally or anything, just here on lil big and youtube inst etc. You might be able to hot knife the dabs or a joint as mentioned but its actually really hard to work with. The "shatter" I got was more like honey and was as sticky as industrial glue or something. The wax was a little more handlable.

Anyway thought I'd share my experience.
Peace :)

Thanks mate. I tried nextdayweed they had some very tasty live resin. Highly recommended.

I’ve looked at that live resin. What’s it like, it’s supposed to be super strong, do you feel the difference and does it last and worth the money as it’s so expensive?
Sorry for all the questions but I don’t know anyone else that’s actually had any yet.
Thanks

It's amazing mate. Incredibly strong and one hit gets you lifted for a good few hours. I highly recommend. I had the orange cheesecake and it was lovely.

Only thing, make sure it'd kept in the fridge. Once it dries out fully it doesn't taste anywhere near as good. Keep it in the fridge keeps it sticky.

I've had a couple of different live resins from NDW, they were both absolutely banging. I don't think they're that expensive for extracts, 40-50 per g is about right for the good ones. This was a touch over, but was right up there quality-wise. It's as potent as you can expect from an extract, you could get the same % cheaper, I'm sure... but you get a full whack of terps from these too. Really flavourful, with those synergistic nuances to the high...

yeah i've had the flower from them. I reckon its the quickest. took like a week to get to here to aus. tasty stuff too. will try the dabs next.

Peace :)

Consider wax it burns a little easier than shatter which is like a rock. You can even stick it into a cigarette if you chop it really fine?

Hi mate. Not sure how old this topic is but it sounds like you want a Dab straw/Nectar collector.

Where to get one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=dab+straw

The one I bought: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07NTL6VRM

How to use one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMbT1xZq2mc

Normally with shatter you should have a dab rig, i personally don't either, but i usually sprinkle it in a spliff as i pretty much don't use glass pieces apart from my glass blunt which i only use occasionally, but if you have a pipe or bong you can easily just sprinkle it over the bowl.
