USA and UK

Bonnie · **USA and UK -** 11-03-2009, 01:08 PM

Hi,

I'm doing a study and part of it is about the difference (if you think there are any) between the hip hop culture in the UK and that in the USA. Obviously most of the literature i read is about the USA and i want to try to avoid basing everything on my own experiences (which are quite different from the ones i've been reading about) so your input would be really valuable.

In a nutshell ... in what ways do you think the hip hop culture in the UK is different from that in USA?

Woa, didn't mean that to sound so much like an essay title but you get the idea!

Thanks

Bonnie

You might want to go to bboyworld and post that question there. They have bboys that traveled to both places and experienced it and what not. I haven't been to the UK so I can't tell you.

Asking other people for results isn't a study. It's plagiarism.

Not exactly, he is asking for input, or experiences like as a resource.

Yea

Sorry if i didn't communicate myself properly. Part of my study will be interviews etc. I won't claim your opinions as my own but will refer to whoever offers help either as an annonymous source or by name

And thanks Boiiwonder

The UK doesn't have a proper "style" when it comes to bboying or hip hop. There have been some guys like Skam who have travelled to dance back in 83, but apart from that there hasn't been much of a global contribution if im fairly honest. It's like, we are acknowledged to knowing of hip hop but us as a nation have not properly expelled any contributions

^those are the 2 big things in UK hiphop right now that seperates it from US hiphop, music wise.
