    2:05 these are his bars guys. He wrote bars in English rap style that relate to him.
    Hence the phone. He needed to keep it all straight. This song is not exactly the same as the original.

      It looks extremely unprofessional but you're right; why learn the lyrics by heart if you're not going to every play it again.
      Never playing it again is also a good idea, it's a crap song.

    My name is West from South Africa. I've been with Kanye from the Polo Shirts and Backpacks! (I'm not necessarily sure of the new Kanye).
    I love listening to My favourite songs with a new voice and a creative touch, and I found love in this take... May they do more renditions of my favourite artist. There's a particular nuance that carries with a well-known song when it's sung by a different artist of a certain genre and the cadence just takes it home. Creativity doesn't always have to be holistically original, it is allowed to carry the essence of the original with it.
    Great f'n Effort! I was engulfed entirely! Your purpose was achieved in My experience! Thank You and Please give Me more. ❤

    This is the most amateur cover of a song I have ever heard. Where do I even start. The beat boxing is just...bad. Why would you not use drums for a song with such a powerful and incredible beat. At least use a beat pad for god sakes. The singer reading the lyrics is laughable. choosing an acoustic guitar is just very underwhelming and doesn’t cut through the song. Alt J should have just not posted this, an outlier to their usually high quality performances.

    Gotta love how he's putting his finger in his ear to make sure he's hitting the right note as he drones on and on and on at that exact same note.
    Ok, I've never liked this kind of rap and I never will, it's just a string of curses without melody trying to convince the audience that the artist (who cannot even song properly) is a tough cookie who's coing to kill you if you dis him. Word, bro. Or something else that nobody understands anyway.

    • @SobrietyandSolace
      @SobrietyandSolace 3 года назад +1

      If you think he's droning the same note throughout you definitely have both fingers in your ears. I love all genres from classical to celtic trad; yes some rap is about gratuitous violence without the context of doing it for survival rather tha status. As you should well know, but rap was originally about self expression and storytelling. The best rappers are excellent at conveying narrative and many, like Plan B, actively collaborate with 'real' poets such as John Cooper Clarke. Just because you cannot comprehend this doesn't mean the rest of us can't. This song actually has a lot of clear stylistic influence from soul and far from usual 'gangster rap' fare. It is about a conflicted man confronting his unhealthy, self-sabotaging behaviour patterns and how they negatively affects his relationships. He owes up to his weakness for other women, whilst also projecting his insecurities onto/looking for flaws in his partner, whom he assumes must be with him for his wealth as his character is clearly so weak. He tells her that his infidelity is the price she pays for dating a successful artist who belongs to a world of materialism, consumption and groupies throwing themselves at him, but in the same breath admits that money cannot buy class and he is tasteless. He states he is unsure how to handle intimacy and hates how much he is hurting her, telling her that her best option is to leave; even though this will also crush him, he is trying to be unselfish for once in his life. I for one appreciate the painful honesty and vulnerability displayed in this song even if I only listen to about 5 songs out of his entire catalogue.
