good rap

@rationboy

it's not my style the british accent ruined it for me.

There is no such thing as a British accent. If there was a British accent it wouldn't be that, it would be much more 'upper class'.

you know what i mean.

The accent you were hearing from Jelani is Carribean-Cockney. The main traits that separates it from something like the African Cockney black accent is the speed with which one speaks it (faster) and the more monotone delivery of it but also there's much harsher enunciation of the consonant that ends words.

they both vary how they say 'th' but Carribeans will go more for 't' while all other cockney variants aim for 'f' or 'v' sound.

Carribean-Cockney says this:

'How's tings goin' fam? You keepin' well 'n' dat?'

Whereas African-Cockney says this:

'How's you? You healfy 'n' okay?'

It's not just the slang, it's the delivery,

The best way to show you the difference is to give you an example of two rappers who have a Ghanaian-cockney (Stormzy) and Nigerian-cockney (Dave) accent to contrast with the Carribean-Cockney from the song I just showed you:

Big Zuu spoke more straightforward Cockney and has Lebanese and Sierra Leonian roots.

That was fire!

this whole album is fire.

that is easily better than your round 1-4, in my personal opinion for pleasing an audience with a rap. You should have used it.

I had just found it while scrolling spotify after it was already over.

I follow mostly NF. Tech N9ne and Eminem are pretty good, and occasionally listen to them. Rarely I'll even listen to songs by some smaller names like Andy Mineo, Derek Minor, or T. Powell.
