YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH
You're the lost one, fam. Lil Uzi is the truth.
Homie lost in the sauce
Nah Lonzo would be a great piece for us right now
Fultz is a better player but he doesn't elevate those around him like Lonzo does
Really weird way to spell Aries (YuGo)
She's gotten some work done to her body in the last few years for what appears to be specifically used for marketing. The song isn't good, and she does that same ass shot as Nicki Minaj but it's not as impressive because of what she's wearing.

Bad and Boujee from my girl Nyanners
Really though, Drake's new album hit some kind of notes in me. I've been listening to it nonstop since it came out. Especially Passionfruit.

Similar theme:
#MoreLife, More Americans Have to Wake Up to a Rap Culture That's Not Just Theirs
Maybe its just me but I feel a lot of Americans don't look outside of the US hip hop market.
For good reason imo. Most of it is garbage tier. UK rap in particular seems like a staler, snobbier version of NY rap. Most these guys can't ride a beat to save their lives.

You best not be dissing Skepta, JME, or Wiley.
They delivered better albums than Uzi, Carti, Savage, et al.

Regionality of rap is more about production I feel anyways. There's definitely flows, cadences, and lingo too, but a lot of that follows off of the sound. Not exclusively production of course, but I think of production styles first.
EDIT:
Ransom 2 giving me a lot of similar feelings I got from the first Ransom. Just vibe after vibe, each hitting you with full force, but at the same time I'm having difficulty picking out favourites or saying anything is necessarily great on here. Just a solid package of decent songs. Same thing happened with Ransom (save for maybe Drinks On Us and Possible), but over time the standouts become more apparent. Right now Gucci On My (YG verse almost ruins it), Razzle Dazzle, Aries (YuGo), Emotions Unlocked, Faith, Come Down and Nothing is Promised are all in rotation, but who knows what will stand the test of time. I appreciate this.

So yeah, Woke Up Like This: this shit fire
Hard to tell if taking the piss or not (don't follow everyone's posting habits nor can you hear tone on a forum), but if serious then all I got to say is open your minds, embrace the love. We need a communal GAF-Hop mushroom trip or something.
TBH i'm talking more about UK Grime than UK rap, which I doubt many hear have really heard much or dived deep into really comment on. Grime has quite clear differences from rap, comes from a sound system culture, and the flows and production are quite different. Anyway, I digress. French Hip hop and dutch hip hop are both dope as well. Tryna get the playlist of dutch tunes my mate had, and will post here when I get it.

Kinda hard to listen to a lyrics dependent genre in a language you don't understand.
Also Skepta and Wiley's albums this years were awesome, tf???
I don't really care about lyrics anymore nowadays, especially when listening to French Trap.

Nah, Mues and Rap Critic are annoying as fuck. I only like it when Rap Critic is reviewing what he likes, honestly. He does a good job articulating what he likes, but when he doesn't like something, he's so off the mark it makes me cringe.
On a positive note, I just watched 10 Nardwuar interviews. I like this guy.
Sonic Youth are dicks.

this new Tuxedo lifting my spirits rn
Then the sparks they flew
Nothing we could do
But the aftershock was much too strong
If we start as friends build it up again
Maybe we can make through
Longer lasting brand new

I like the guy, especially since he's so enthusiastic and not afraid to be himself. Dude reminds me of myself when I was in High School.

Rec me some shit.
Look, go to strip club, make it rain,
So much money, they use rakes
Count 100 thousand in your face
Then put 300 right in the safe
Met her today,
She talk to me like she knew me
Go to sleep in a jacuzzi,
Wakin' up right to a two-piece
Countin' that paper like loose leaf
Gettin' that chicken with blue cheese
Boy, you so fake like my collar, you snakin' I swear to God that be that Gucci
