Consider it the modern version of "he's a player" if you like.

Hope this helps.

It's clearly ripped from Basketball player and I find this extremely cringey.

It's like NoFun saying 'I'm a real hepcat, daddio' back in the 1950's.

Have the youth of London really morphed into Tim Westwood??

No they're just more americanised than ever before. It's been a huge bone of contention between old school grime artists and modern uk hip hop acts etc.

Do you disagree that youth in England are more americanised than ever before? Something that has directly correlated with the rise of social media?

Also I'm sorry if I offended your friend, am sure he can stick up for himself.

Total disagree......

Maybe in the 90's early 00's but the UK sceve has now become popular state side....

Have a look on YouTube (youths use this) at Americans reacting to UK hip hop...

The UK has stood alone, tall for years. ....


Aren't you into Coldplay ?

Could you not argue that the Americanisation is widespread? It does not just apply to the youth.

But it's a far cry from the days of UK MCs rapping with American accents. We must be thankful for that.

You really have me confused with someone else, don't think I've even mentioned Coldplay on here but no I'm not into them.

I understand what you're saying but I grew up with the explosion of garage and then grime, being disctinctly British was its selling point, in particular grime was seen as the sound of London, and a lot of the old heads look down on the current wave as they see it as closer to hip hop (an American genre) than grime (uk). It really has been a bone of contention among them. it's nice to see uk acts making it big in America and having an effect, but even your stormzys etc are just really watered down versions of what it used to be.

I apologise for my overly aggressive "mate"Ing and "pal"ing.

Yeah Americanisation is a widespread but i think it's definitely normalised and utilised a lot more quickly by the youth.

From what I understand he's one of these hipster beard, wears glasses he doesn't need 'trendy' types.

Definitely would not take both of us to get the job done, but might be more of a laugh.
