Bling-bling!
quote: But Mike Skinner from The Streets raps in a South London accent and uses a lot of English slang. And the landscape in his songs is recognisably English.
The first time I heard 'Has it come to this?' was in a record shop and I thought -"Is he taking the piss?" because it sounded so strange to hear someone rapping in an English accent.
I was watching Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Asia Pacific channel on Sunday morning. they have a show called "Rage" (in Danny's head right now are the words "Rage rage rage ra ra rage!"). I was watching some Australian rappers called the Resin Dogs. Two white guys with typical cheeky Australian humour, the video made in the arse end of Sydney from the looks of it. Quite liked it, but the accent threw me out: Jay Z never sounded like that.

Its true!
The bourgeois sophisticates in Melbourne drink chardonnay, anyway.
