do i detect a hint of cultural bias? there r some dope MC's in the UK, but damn, don't tell me there aren't just as many, no, more, dope heads in the US......
your rite... there is more in US.. but conciderin america is like 200+ times bigger than UK id be worried if they wasnt
remember, we brought u Pac, Biggie, Nas, Common........ all those great lyricists that got y'all rappin in the 1st place......
pac wasnt a sick lyricist.. he was simple... but wat he spoke about n how he expressed it was wat made him special... BIG never been a fan of him... nas n common are nice.... but so u know... UK hip hop started LONG before ANY of them names got known.. look at wen slick rick first became famous 
not sayin i agree with NK on this one, but u can't say that UK artists r better than US artists...... that's near blasphemous.....
not really... i know for a fact i mhate 95% US music and will only ever download US stuff.. i only now part wit money for UK music... UK artists tend to drop better rhyme schemes more interestin flows better vocab and spit on topics a million times more creative than american artists rap on now... also the beats used are way better and better produced
