my friend tom briggs compiled this i thought it was pretty spot on thought all you folks would like to see it get us talking about the UK scene who we love who we hate!
UK Hip-Hop
They're all good. If they're not good, they're not on there. But this is rated in terms of worthy 'star status' or how high they should be on a billing (in my mind).
I've kept it to groups that I think are still doing stuff, not old school dudes.
It's pretty arbitrary but you gotta give it a shot.
(?) means I haven't actually heard their stuff but have heard good reviews.
* means I would make a special effort to see them cos I haven't seen them live yet and think they'd be good
