I don't pay much attention to it, but some of it is decent (Tinie Tempah, Tinchy Strider), some AWFUL (Ndubz, Example). Weirdly, people like Plan B and The Streets get on my nerves.
Still, its come a long way since the days of Babycakes, So Solid Crew and Tim Westwood.
Historically, hip hop and urban music has never been the UK's strong point. We've been better at dub, drum & bass, grime and dubstep.
