l feel you though cos everytime I been to america Ive been treated with the upmost respect and left out of nothing thats going on...its a shame you aint getting that here.
haha tell me about them kind of dudes- They got their heads so far up their asses its annoying! but naah I aint like that- Far from it. However tho, I still got that HipHopish (being a rapper and all) swagger and thats what set em off the most -lol
I got this birmingham friend-a Black Dj who was very cool- he intoduced me to his other friends cos i was tryin to grow my friend's network and they just tottaly BLEW me off- damn that just killed my Night. worst thing is; Everybody was talking bout Soccer(footbal) and I just felt outta place. On a good note tho ,I did get some loving from the ladies.

BlackPein,

what you're describing has little to do with culture but just player hatism...

when rappers go to clubs in any city in the country...who hates on them, the most?......the guys who are the "men" in that town .......the ballers/criminals...


any rapper or sideman can outshine the biggest drug dealer from any hood in ANY nightclub...because of the nature of TV.....


I think these dudes hating on you were like the men in their hoods.....and you coming there....just by virtue of you being from america and an aspiring rapper.....you're gonna outshine them....regardless of how well you rap....

not a uk/us thing.....a big fish in a small pond thing

@BPein
Birmingham very introverted city not used to outsiders...funny enough brummies are such good company when out of birmingham...
@DtotheJ summed it all up ...its the so called local 'playas' and 'hustlers' who have the most to lose and start all that hate as you noticed the girlies still liked you and thats all that counts just don't hit on the 'local gangstas' woman
Its the same story everywhere men especially black men can be very insecure indeed turn up anywhere in this country and the local black 'boys' oops!! men start to panic especially when you got the gimmicks on lock.....
Be rest assured most of the women in the UK do like a US accent ......just like the US women love the UK accent all square i guess


one will need a bigger lie to cover the first one

I rarely respond on here, just read, but i noticed lots of people being bias, because they are british and they are expressing their dislike just as the ones you are encountering now. BlackP why are you trying to make them like you? F**k them, really. Don't kiss a**. That is what they want you to do, because it makes them feel good about themselves. You can't change people, even the idiotic acting ones. I had the same problem when i went to england, and i didn't care for having my time there ruined by some people feeling salty, so i moved on pass them, because if someone wants to hate on you just to hate, then they are BITTER inside about something. There is no need to waste time on follish people like that. But i have noticed lots of people hate on americans and not just some uk people but others from other countries too and they always make the same excuses as to why, but yet at the same time they imitate americans and incorporate american culture into theirs, but yet, we ALL are good for nothing so and so... go figure. Anywho, i have noticed it is the english people that tend to be more this way then other people from the uk countries. I met some welsh people and even the scottish people are real cool, i had no problems with them. But it is not just an african american thing BlacP, even white americans encounter the same problems when they travel to england. I had some white americans even ask me why i waste my time going to england because they are the worse people to get along with. But i will say that i did meet a few people in england that i had no problem with while i was there, and i didn't kiss a** to make things cool between me and them. BlackP don't kiss no one's feet just to get them to embrace you, just be yourself and trust me someone will take a natural liking to you. I'll be going back to england again and i don't care if some of them have issue with me, i'm already expecting that they will. Most americans know the hating is expected when we go to other places. They bash you because of where you are from, but then they turn right around and make the very thing they criticize a part of their life in some way, many of them are hypocritical haters BlackP. Man-Up, be yourself and let the rest take care of itself.

BP said'listen here homie...speaking as a birmingham man myself my accent aint never stopped me pullin no broads and I lived in london for 10 years with plenty pu$$y to spare..'

Its called keeping the ecology in balance like nature..You see we have nuff gal fi spare in London..so every year a certain percentage of better than average brummies, prefably with better than average accents migrate down south to take what we no longer want..A perfect system..

Rarely operates in reverse...

i didnt know hip hop culture was that pervasive there. I thought it was a thing out on the fringes of society. Thats interesting...in a sad type of way.

Just because you guys over the pond are shallow enough to cozy up to anyone with a different accent doesn't mean we should all be so stupid!

Stands to reason you won't just get in there with the brummie's, people are territorial, and you sound like you have an attitude. Why do they have to be 'haters' because they don't crawl all over your accent?

Repect is earned my brother, not expected.
Exactly. People moan about territorialism but usually they did something to bring that down on themselves.

Yea okay so its our fault- its soooo Justified that my 11 years old cousin gets bullied by grown men just cause he's from somewhere else. Get real- you're clearly basing us off what YOU think we're like, seriously, ease off them MTV shows- we aint THAT far up our asses.
And when the Hell did I ever Oblige dudes to like my accent?!- I dont even like my own! You really think im that Vein? You're TOTALLY missing the point here, it aint even About that! Hell, I tend to keep my mouth shut most the time to avoid them "HATERS" from getting on my case. 'Cause as soon as I awnser my Cell you got ignorant GROWN men trying to start shit- Yeah Put me in the wrong for that.
I suggest you read the whole thread before u start Glorifying Ignorance

Psssfffft
