What true hip-hop head listens to 50 cent? Are you smoking crack? And 50 is not a gangsta, he's a pop act.

UK hip-hop better than US? That's impossible my man. I like Roots Manuva, but, there is no way that any other place on earth will have hip-hop like the US. The African-Americans are its originators and it is their art form. They will always excel in it and that is simply a fact.

Listen to real shit like this:
Masta Ace
Cormega
Vakill
J-Live
MF Doom
Brother Ali
Cunninlynguists
Aesop Rock
The Roots
Talib Kweli
Gangstarr
Eric B. & Rakim
KRS-One
Grandmaster Flash

Uk hip hop will never be better than the US stuff but i prefer the uk stuff as at the moment its evolving fast and theres lots of good artists coming through.

IMO the hip hop scene would be 10 times better without these untalented arses like 50 Cent and "The Game", but just like in every genre they are the key to the better stuff. 50 Cent is how the kids get into hip hop and eventually they'll get to the good stuff.
