This track was on the cusp of garage transitioning to grime, it was the first time anything that resembled grime music made it to number 1 in the charts and broke into the mainstream. They were due to travel to the States but 2001 was a rough year obviously with 9/11 and restrictions were put in place which scuppered a lot of that(idk the details this is just what I’ve heard a lot, I think it was something to do with Def Jam Records). Also, Romeo made a track with Christina Milian, if you remember her. Lisa Maffia had a solo career too, she had a hit with “All Over”.
the word your looking for was distilled...or got more authentic...Grime was unapologetically Uk and specifically London..ppl stopped trying to appeal to the US..and it made something. New and more raw.
“Romeo done” has pretty much got into common parlance in London, for whenever you’ve finished anything. Finish my dinner - “Romeo done” Leave work - “Romeo done” Finish emptying the dishwasher - “Romeo Done”
Glad you’ve discovered garage , brings back memories , this is more vocal garage but a huge part of the scene had tunes that had no vocals just the beats, keep up the the hard work matey 👍🏼👍🏼
Yes yes Jeff, welcome to the funky sexy grimy world of ukg (garage) this was a fun time to rave. Well dressed guys and chick's out enjoying the tunes. RUclips has videos of sets from so solid at sidewinder and other events.
Just stumbled upon you channel, loved the reaction. UK garage was where it was at back in the day in the UK. I'm not really sure if it'll be your kind thing, as this is the first video of yours I've seen... But here's some other UK garage tracks I'd recommend checking out to get you started. - Artful Dodger feat. Craig David - Re-Rewind - Artful Dodger feat. Lifford - Please Don't Turn Me On - MJ Cole - Sincere - MJ Cole - Crazy Love - Sweet Female Attitude - Flowers - DJ Luck & MC Neat - With A Little Bit Of Luck - DJ Pied Piper & The Masters Of Ceremonies - Do You Really Like It? - Wookie Feat. Lain Gray - Battle
So sold was major part of evolution from garage to grime, artist producing and promoting themselves, in UK even junkies have barz! So much talent now our beats sort after by USA artist drill tracks. Your Canadian heavy hitter Drake has BBK tattoo on his chest, that's boy better know label that Skepta, jme, Frisco and jammer. Now that dark beat with heavy baselines and catchy clear n repetitious instrumentals Drake rocking. The tattoo outta respect thing, real recognise real
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 Dude, you have got me Crying over here 😭😭😭😭😭 The lady was Lisa Maffia, one of the only female members of the So Solid Crew and the first lady of So Solid
Thanks for hitting up garage jeff...sounds of my early mid teens! Gotta hit up heartless crew and pay as you go...both got big Mc's. Thanks again, stay safe and positive bro 👊 ✌+❤

Jeeeez!🙏🙏 Good to see you again bro for real💯 I appreciate you stopping by aaaaaand even using your data🙏 Much love fam and stay safe👊❤️
@@JeffDonnelly Back and forth for years, my baby Mum and daughter are here so I spend more time here since she was born 12 years ago but have been coming since 1994. Anyways, shit is crazy here but I was ready before quarantine even started. I have moved to where my baby Mum and daughter live (my old house....still mine but I don't live there) to keep them safe while all this craziness goes on. Stay blessed Jeff.
If you didn’t already know this, the 2nd guy rapping Asher D is Ashley Walters, British actor and star of Top Boy, Top Boy - Summerhouse and Bulletproof
Wez or Asher D as you call him, is a well known actor ,he worked his butt off to get where he is now , i am proud to call him my friend ,we did burn outs in my car during the making of "The Murder of Stephen Lawrence" he might remember..stay safe moosh ...Si
Jeff don’t change, if you swear that’s just you, swearing is an expression of emotion, so.... fuck it! Also I would love to see you react to some footage of a DnB rave - westfest in particular 🙌🏻💚
such a classic haha. You should check out some more jungle/dnb (as well as uk garage).. there's this one dnb video i always loved.. DJ Hype, Skiba and Shabba - think it was a kiss100 takeover. It was too good and too fun :D
The Girl's Lisa Maffia -- React to her song 'All Over' ruclips.net/video/iHR_YuONCcU/видео.html "remember I told ya I'm a soldier"!! That video is a top production!!
@@JeffDonnelly if you search for Delete VIP Qapital 2016, this kinda the stuff I listen to, as I said would love to see a reaction video to that 😂 Or if that’s a bit too crazy check out Clockartz Sunset Sessions number 5, guy did a live mix from the Dolomite Mountains in italy, outstanding..
Alright mate aitch does a cover of this tune also check DJ luck MC neat a little bit of luck must of been played in every club in the UK over time bless from the UK bro
Tbf totally mismanaged and ahead of the time in a commercial sense.... garage was of it’s time, however, Jungle is still the one ‘Skiba’ insane how old this vid is, I feel old 👎🏻
Girl is lisa maffia, apparently wiley groped her which resulted in dizzee rascal getting stabbed! Should deffo check out boo by ms dynamite and sticky, she recently did i live lounge singing it with disclosure which is pretty sick! Should do a few reactions to trance! Was big early noughties!
Youll now the second guy from top boy Ashley walters actually was arrested for a imitation firearm that was drilled through and then romeo went to prison for carving a guys face up 😂

Haha love this, please do more Garage and some Jungle in the future
I love it when people who haven’t heard bangers like this fully connect and get hyped by it! This was a great reaction video man….
I appreciate that bro! Track is group is FIRE!😆👊
That’s was the sound of my youth bro. Uk garage music was fire but got diluted into grime
@Arsenal Manic stormzy, Aj Tracey and Aitch?
I think it got better with Grime, it's a wider audience
the word your looking for was distilled...or got more authentic...Grime was unapologetically Uk and specifically London..ppl stopped trying to appeal to the US..and it made something. New and more raw.
Now grime has been diluted to drill what next 🙄😂
“Romeo done” has pretty much got into common parlance in London, for whenever you’ve finished anything.
Finish my dinner - “Romeo done”
Leave work - “Romeo done”
Finish emptying the dishwasher - “Romeo Done”
@@StandardCabrera seconded.
G-Funk 1
Crass. Very crass.
😂 😂 😂 😂 You got me Dead
That's so true,I did it too!🤗🇬🇧
It’s Dunn not done Romeo Dunn
Glad you’ve discovered garage , brings back memories , this is more vocal garage but a huge part of the scene had tunes that had no vocals just the beats, keep up the the hard work matey 👍🏼👍🏼
