Both came to prominence in the 2000s, and have sustained careers since then. I talk about how their styles \u2013 and UK\u2019s hip hop styles in general \u2013 are often more interesting & less restrictive than hip hop from the US, and how that approach seems to apply to all UK music that reinterprets US music.\nI also talk about the global reach & dominance of hip hop, as it approaches its ostensible 50thanniversary, and how hip hop fits into music culture & music history in light of such an incredible milestone & rich legacy.\nAre you a hip hop fan? Did you know the two spotlight artists? Are you into any non-US or UK hip hop? Where do you think hip hop belongs in the overall history of music?
