    > PPS- Has anyone heard Roots Manuva's Album (Brand New Second Hand)

    yes its a masterpiece....

     came out
    > in 99. Just found it! Who says the UK don't know Hip-Hop?!?!

    no one i know. the uk has only reinvented hiphop about 5 times (drum'n'bass,
    big beat - best forgotten, so-called 'bristol' type shit etc etc) and now
    its putting out some of the best stuff i get through my office... maybe i'm
    biased as a contributor to ukhiphop.com but 95% of the stuff out of the u.s.
    is all sugary puff daddy type nonsense.

    i'm not trying to put the US down at all ... just trying to big up the UK.

    i suggest tracking down stuff by skitz, task force, numskullz, lewis parker,
    braintax, blade, harry love, hundred strong, herbaliser, new flesh for old,
    mystro... labels like hombre, lowlife, son, ruf beats, big dada, apeman,
    deal real, ronin, jazz fudge, k-boro

    "its that jet black flow from the south west of L-O-N-D-O-N..."

    me out, dave
