GeeBee, It's just the fact that as far as air play and recognition it's only the comedy stuff that gets noticed. Radio stations in Wales don't support local urban music, but they'll play Goldie Looking Chain and this Newport bollox. Once they do that then station outside of Wales start to play it too. They could do this for the the hip-hop scene if they wanted to but they only seem to support guitar type bands like Stereophonics. My rant is aimed at the radio stations and the Welsh press really.

Nice one Samo. I suppose it's a bit like the fact that you have quality crews in England like Foreign Beggars, but it's the stuff that pushes the 'Englishness' too far with an almost comical accent like The Streets and Professer Green that seems to get all the air play. Shame really.

At least real Hip-hop from England is well known up and down the UK by true heads. (Sorry, rant now over)
