Well, like I said, he's certainly a british rapper, but he's not very representative of typical british rapping. What I mean when I say british rapping is rapping with the typical british accent (of various types, whether it be liverpuddian, cockney, scottish, etc.). I think mr. manuva does great stuff, but *sheesh* people. I was complaining about the likes of massive attack, not "people who are born and raised in the UK and rap about UK issues but don't sound british."
