Because it isn't authentic. They're American, they don't have the bad experiences of African-Americans and its quite clear they do it for the money alone. It doesn't come from a sincere place, its just literal garbage designed to sell to retarded wigger 14 teen year olds.

Here's the thing - rap is FUNDAMENTALLY about gangbanging, shooting people, getting shot, etc. The whole "beat" structure is supposed to invoke the sharp blast of gunshots.

But England has very few shootings. Something like 30 people in the ENTIRE COUNTRY are murdered by gunfire in any given year, compared to over 11,000 in the US.

So of course it's going to sound ridiculous and inauthentic when someone from a non-gangbanging country tries to emulate gangbanger music.

Imagine if an American band costumed themselves in the old Ming Dynasty style and did a Chinese opera album. It would also seem ridiculous. It's just not the right format for them.

it's not rap, it's garage
it's nothing to do with rap, it comes from Jamaican dancehall culture. The lyrics don't matter because it's supposed to just be MCing at raves
>>
Why do people who come on thiws site always complain when looking at a genre they don't know.
Grime is sick but these people always look in the wrong places.
