MCs
A lot of them are talented, a lot of them are wack. Hiphop or DnB, which takes more talent? I know DRS from Broke’n'English does the old DnB ting. Which is he better at? Are there many others out there? I’d argue that Hiphop MC’s show a greater level of talent. Not to wanting to take anything away from DnB MCs but isn’t their aim purely to keep the crowd hyped? No-ones really focusing on their lyrical content are they?

entirely depends upon the emcee, I don’t think the field they choose to work in has any impact on the amount of talent they have or do not have…I for instance could not be a d’n'b mc, because my teeth are all crazy and I’d lisp all over the show…the attention paid by the listeners doesn’t affect the skill of the performer in my opinion…it’s entirely down to the creativity and skill of the individual emcee…
I have love for D&B Mcs as much as I do for hip hop MCs. However, I don’t think a D&B MC can easily become a hip hop MC, and vice versa. I’ve worked with a couple of D&B MCs who wanted to do their hip hop thing on tunes before, and always been unhappy with the result. It can work on double time hip hop tunes, but more often than not I think the hip hop MC comes out on top with content and flow, rather than the hype stuff the D&B MCs spit.
Orifice of Foreign Beggars tho started off as a D&B MC, and he’s got some nice hip hop flows
