That’s going to be a no for me dawg
Oh god. Well I went in with an open mind, he instantly starts referring to the president despite being British. Half way through the first song I realise he hasn't changed the tone or pitch of his voice at all, I pray this won't continue. I persevere and "that's not me" and "Man" have a certain "produced in a bedroom" charm, even though this guys supposed to be one of the biggest in the UK scene. The attempt at a big anthem with "Shutdown" doesn't work. He raps about fake Muslims and Rastafarians misrepresenting themselves, then pretentiously calls his album Konnichiwa? This is bad, not just the music itself but how basic it is for the UK scene, not doing anything slightly interesting but hanging on the US coattails. 1.3
Oh nah bruh Likes: some of the beats i guess Dislikes: british rap is cringe Maybe biased against the accent but i really think these bars are lazy, and the incessant repeat of a rap chorus (which i dislike already) in every single song makes it worse. Not for me.
not worth the 1 vote
Weder hip noch hop, Rapp ist gruselige Musik, Texte verstehe ich selten, Slang und Crime, ewig gleicher Rhythmus...
I am never going to have any interest in listening to British rap. I’ve tried, I really have. But it’s just not going to happen.
Not for me
Rubbish.
Sorry, I don't like Rap.
Not for me
wont ever catch me listening to UK rap, trussss me daddy
That’s a no for me dog
Not a fan.
I am not a fan of UK rap. Im not sure if its the accent of the dead tone of voice that I dont like. Did not finish
Hip hop never really stood on my agenda, after listening to the whole album I find it very juvenile, narcissistic and in many ways too aggressive.
no. no grime
For the first rap album on this list, I feel slightly disappointed. It didn't really hit even though on a technical level it's all good. Good production and good rapping. The instrumentals were just not very gripping to me and I felt better vibes from other British rap acts like Stormzy, The Streets, Slowthai, Wiley and the like.
Not my thing
Not the shittiest out there 2 But its close 1
I think it’s done well and if I liked this kind of music, I would really enjoy it. But it’s not for me and I couldn’t finish it. Pissed me off I could hear his accent. Not a fan of the British.
I wish I had this guy's self-esteem...
Horrid lyrics
this was not for me sadly
Wow, fam. This generator has given me some rough to listen albums but nothing as awful as this, fam. First song had me excited, fam, second song had me a bit annoyed, fam, and the third song, fam, ended things for me. I was definitely a better person before listening to this fam. 0 songs added, 8 songs skipped. Skits were awful fam.
Cat: sounds cool. Lyrics are terrible.
They're trolling, right? Only 1,001 albums and we have time for this crap? I listened to the whole thing in disbelief and ended up several IQ points dumber. The lyrics are idiotic; N-words abound. The dude had a fight over voice chat in a game of Call of Duty, and he decides it would be a good idea to throw it on the album. I was disgusted with the whole album *except* the last 30 seconds. That was actually good, and not so coincidentally had no vocals.
I could not find one redeeming quality on this. The rhymes and beats were weak. I struggled to get through this.
Well I can see why some people like this, But as with others in this genre, the voice over powers the music and I don't like that. Nor do I appreciate music being usurped for political purposes. I can live with it if it is of a high enough standard musically, as with And Then There Were None by The Enid, or 1916 by Mötorhead. But again this just didn't have it. Even so some bits were OK and each track was mercifully short. 1.5
I did listen to the whole thing, reading the lyrics as I went. So much hatred, anger and violence. The violence isn’t even implied. Just couldn’t find anything I could hang a complimentary remark upon. Sorry, just not for me.
Mmm. My kids love it. I don't. Mandem, fam, Fireman Sam... Musically it was basic but ok. However, the vocals, lyrics and the phone calls? Nope. A low 1, not a complete 0.
Couldn’t give it zero stars
I hate aggressive music with corny lyrics forced for the sake of rhyming but made to sound meaningful via ranty delivery. It's too phony and try-hard. Not my thing I guess.
didn't like it at all. sounds like something some annoying teenager would listen to
Wild beat on Crime Riddim.
Do you know when those guys drive by you with their car windows open with music blasting and all you hear is this very deep, distorted subsonic bass going … boom … boom …. boom I always wondered what music they’re playing. Turns out they’re probably playing Skepta. I hated it when I heard it then and I also hate now.
The UK does a lot of things well, but rap is not one of them.
Nope
I knew I wouldn't like this, because I know I don't like grime, but this was obnoxious. The beats are laughably bad and the rapping was usually annoying. The interludes/skits also annoyed me, especially because they are attached to the ends of the songs for no reason. I don't get this album at all. My favourite song was Man.
Album 80 of 1001 Skepta - Konnichiwa Rating : 2 / 5 Favorite Track : None British Rap. I suffered through it, but can't say that it is for me. It was odd hearing rap with a British accent. So polite sounding. Rapper actually said "Fuck Me" and then followed it up with "not literally". Had its time and its place but I'm not involved.
Real Man's Not Hot vibes. dislike strongly, not sure if there is any scenario I would listen to this.
1.75
Dum Dum Dum Dum tingaling tingaling Dum Dum Dum "Here's some more about me". Tedious
not my thing, i guess
I just have a hard time taking British MCs seriously. Not really list worthy
You know, it had been a while since I'd gotten an album that was clearly only on this list because it was British, but I remedied that today. This album is the very definition of nothing special. The music is fine, if not a bit outdated. The lyrics are pedestrian. I haven't gotten a single Kendrick Lamar album on here, but somehow my bones could not be laid to rest without listening to this album. Crime Riddim legit has a minute and a half skit at the end of it, despite the fact that the song is 4.5 minutes to begin with. Seriously, a lot of this is sonically indistinguishable from the songs put out by QAnon rappers. They're talking about different things, but it's equally bland, and the beats are exactly the same. I hate this. I hate everything about this. This is the worst album I've heard on here since I got that Limp Bizkit album. The history of hip-hop runs deep with great albums, but somehow I got stuck listening to this one. At least until I gave up and listened to something good 1/5
Also, so weit ich es verstanden habe, versucht der Künstler in seinen Songs auf POC und deren Diskriminierung in der Musikindustrie aufmerksam zu machen. But idk…it‘s okay, not really my type of music…
