Who Is UK Rap's Greatest Export & The 2010's Hip-Hop Mount Rushmore Debate

Cold Drinks & Conversations

For Episode 76, Sillah & Toren provide the listeners with a music-focused conversation. The episode begins with some banter surrounding Sunday dinners before delving into the main discussion. Sillah poses the question of who is U.K. Rap's greatest export? Skepta falls at the top of both Toren & Sillah's list, with him being one of the first U.K. artists to successfully break America, whilst ultimately still protecting and maintaining his unique sound and style having featured on massive tracks with the likes of ASAP Rocky and being on Drake's More Life Project as well as the recent YSL: Slime Season 2 project. The conversation then leads onto a different but still music-focused debate, discussing one of the more timeline centred topics over the last week, Hip-Hop's Mount Rushmore, specifically those who dominated the 10's decade. Most critics would argue it is undeniable that Drake, Kendrick Lamar and J-Cole would take the first three spots, all having sold multiple platinum albums and classic projects within these years, often being referred to as the three modern-day goats, however, who would you give the 4th spot too? Nicki Minaj, Young Thug, Future and Chief Keef are all worthy contenders, Toren and Sillah debate this and decide who they believe should take the 4th spot.
