It gets boring seeing just people South of Watford when we speak about" UK" Hip Hop.
However we'll done for doing this and getting the ball rolling.

I've been a huge fan of UK Hip Hop since early 2000's, but I learned some beautiful history I never knew about on this doc. And King Kashmere is one of my favorite rappers overall, have been listening to a lot of his bangers the last few days, together with the early foreign beggars. UK hiphop is wildly underrated, but you get a lot of love and respect from a hiphop-junkie from Norway!
And the nostalgia I felt from the track in the beginning of Babe Ruth - The Mexican, I learned breakdancing thru that song.
Thank you King Kashmere, you ARE the apple of your mother's eye!

this is great. well edited too, it flows nicely. more UK Hip Hop history needs to be documented like this. This scratches the surface. Faze One don't get mentioned enough, they were great! There needs to be a documentary about UK Fresh '86 too. Mike Allen's show was legendary and also Dave Pearce's show and rap phone-in competition was pivotal too.
