I rap in an american accent, when I'm british...
As Eminem said, turn your negatives into a positive!
In hip-hop hat just makes you even more the same, there are 10 times more American sounding American rappers than there are British sounding Brits in the industry.
Hows does tha tmake me the same? I'm british... and I sound american when rapping, Not american-american, or british-british. It's british-American...
It's about how it sounds on the record though isn't it. And if you sound American you're talking yourself out of the smaller pool of unusual accents into the much larger pool of American accents. You're essentially drowning yourself and your voice out by following the American crowd.
I suppose maybe if you're only making music for the deep underground UK scene your American accent would maybe standout from every other British rappers.
Look I may be wrong, I've never heard you rap, maybe you sound more distinct/interesting on tape with the American accent. I don't know.
i just don't get it sometimes. Some of these popular new rappers sounds exacly the same, and still they are getting fame all over tv and internett.
