British rap icon Skepta has reignited the long-running debate between UK and US hip-hop scenes, boldly throwing down the gauntlet by challenging American rappers to a rap battle.

Taking to his X account on Thursday, the Grime heavyweight declared his desire to finally settle the decades-long rivalry between the two global rap powerhouses through lyrical warfare.

“I wanna clash an American rapper anyway, finally get this UK/US rap debate sorted,” he wrote, sparking instant buzz across social media platforms.

Skepta, who has long been a vocal ambassador of Grime; a uniquely British rap subgenre, didn’t stop at offering himself for lyrical combat. He also proposed an epic UK vs US rapper lineup, pairing some of the UK’s most respected names against their American counterparts in what fans are calling a “dream face-off.”

Here’s the heavyweight battle card Skepta suggested:

Ghetts vs Eminem

Chip vs Kendrick Lamar

Dave vs Lil Wayne

Youngs Teflon vs Meek Mill

Blade Brown vs Pusha T

Queenie vs Megan Thee Stallion

Central Cee vs Jack Harlow

Lancey Foux vs Travis Scott

JME vs Tyler, The Creator

Skepta further backed his confidence in UK rappers with a passionate defense of their lyrical pedigree and artistic resilience.

“The microphone training you get from being in the grime scene is top level, Oxford Uni level training, we’re not easy, lol,” he stated.

His comment underscores the intense verbal sparring and live performance culture that defines the UK grime scene, where emcees often rise through the ranks by sharpening their skills in freestyle sessions and street battles.

Fans and fellow artists have since taken to the internet to weigh in on Skepta’s proposal. While some hailed it as a much-needed celebration of lyrical prowess across borders, others questioned whether American stars would respond to the call or dismiss it as banter.

The debate over the superiority of UK vs US rap is not new, but Skepta’s fresh challenge could bring it to a head in a way that celebrates both cultures. Whether or not the clash actually materializes, one thing is clear: Skepta has thrown fuel on a fire that hip-hop fans on both sides of the Atlantic are more than ready to watch burn bright.
