U.G.K = UK?

Right everyone we can get a lot different point of views on this topic. UK hip hop has come a long way; we have artists like Kano, Wiley and Dizzee Rascal, who have opened up the doors for UK Hip-Hop to get recognised. When Wiley and Dizzee Rascal came out they did certainly open the doors for UK hip hop, because at the time it was mainly about American hip hop, but the more songs the UK artists released the more the media was publicising and American artists started to recognise and give credit for the UK hip hop scene.

There are a lot of new artists who are helping push hip hop further, but are they succeeding? We will elaborate more on that later on.

'You don’t have to be American to be a rap star' as stated by an underground artist named 'Craze 24'. He has a good point here because UK hip hop has not received the deserved amount of credit it should have compared to American Hip-hop. But there are some acts, like the US scene, that are holding the UK side down. So-called artists like N-Dubz who in our opinion are having their 15 minutes of fame at the moment. Acts that are 'manufactured' by the record labels after the money.

For out UK readers in particular, what are your views on all of this?
