- Опубликовано: 24 ноя 2024
- SB.TV was invited to the British Library for the gathering of three incredible minds. They discuss the current state of hip-hop and it's misguided use by the youth of today. They underline the various struggles in making music as an independent artist and deliver great wisdom for the new movement. An important watch, one not to be missed!
In addition there is a sneak peek of Saul Williams dropping serious bars. The full-length performance can be seen here: vimeo.com/17350230

I love how much Akala and Lowkey are loved and respected within the real hip hop community. They deserve it and I'm so glad they represent british HipHop
X Blai2 💯💯💯
X Blai2 who still loves Lowkey and Akala in 2020! I do ✊🏻
low key is genius. we are blessed to have people like him and akala.
Lowkey is the best MC to ever grace the UK.
Lowkey, I am so impressed by your Hip Hop, I lived in USA for 21 yrs and saw for myself the disgusting treatment of the American poor, the Poverty, The 1st Nation, the Dreadful treatment of Black People In almost every state I worked in. Please keep up your great work. I am 80 years old but I’m a big fan of yours
Bit by bit, these people are changing the world. We need more people like Lowkey, he is - in my personal opinion-, the greatest lyricist of all time.
Saul Williams + Akala + Lowkey = unrecognized and underrated geniuses of our time
I miss this guy.. Nothing more then I hope him to come back and speak again. I'd love to know his words of today's corruption.
His back, his new tracks called Lowkey- Ahmed

Akala and Lowkey, two great faces on the UK hip hop scene right now but none of these comments are even mentioning the genius of Saul Williams?
i have the most respect for these people.. these men are real rappers.. keeping it real
That was fantastic, I have the utmost respect for Saul, Akala & Lowkey. It's great to see them together.
Im so happy to see people listening to them, its a big step. for real
Big up SBTV for having these breath taking artists!
a collab between akala and saul williams would be brilliant
ellie johnson that's already done ages ago
of course, would love to see another one
Lowkey and Saul Williams 2 of my favorite artists/poets.
THIS IS STRAIGHT UP TRUTH!
No-one can test what they're saying!
Everyone word i have heard them say makes perfect sense to me!
+ if you havent listened to lowkey on bbc 1extra, please listen...its incredible!!!
please like sp people can see! thanks
Saul Williams your awesome! Love this panel of intellectual speakers, we need more of this type of thing!!
LowKey & Akala are great for the UK Hip Hop Culture .. this is what we need 💯💯
Akala, Lowkey, and Logic need to make a collab album.
the system can't handle that
Is there a full version of this anywhere? Would actually like to see the conversation, this is too cut up.
british conscious hip hop is taking off! time for change. America needs to follow, they already have people like Saul Williams, Immortal Technique and Diabolic. We need more!!!
big up sb for putting this up, he really is inspiring
When I hear people speaking badly about the hip hop culture I shall point them in the direction of this video. I could listen to them talk forever.
nuff respect sb,ur doin all the right things fam,spreadin a message and staying relevant and upto date,u r on a nxxxt tiing ,brap brap
why is society hiding these men ..
Lowkey.. paving the way for the truth from the beginning
Escalating Executive speaks the truth haha! Thanks for the name drop E E! It's pretty awesome being mentioned in a list like that!
Wish It Was Longer !!
Sometimes, I think peope are over thinking things. But they make a lot of sense!
THESE guys should be on top of thecharts

@smokeybarz Respect for covering this !!!
You need to add M.K Asante's name to the title though - HIs book " It's Bigger Than Hip-Hop " is a must read for anyone who is remotely interested in Hip Hop. Peace

Tour in the US.... I promise I can organize more people than Marucs Garvey, with knowledge like this 6 million people is cake!!
@GuzzayMusic yeah innit, you gotta love SB.
@Kingcallam Saul Williams is an American btw...there is a large underground/independent movement in hip-hop in the USA and Canada, of course the mainstream media will not advertise that...peace love bro
Immortals delivery is 11/10
Really good video
This is the real deal what you guys are saying.
GREAT STUFF
lowkey + akala = best ever
SOemtimes, I think peope are over thinking things. But they make a lot of sense!
the macdonalds concept was beautiful
why was i not here!
lowkey rapping in american accent lol and awww-ed @ lowkey saying rapping @ 12 mashallah, u can really tell he's talented
Immortal technique, vinnie paz, diabolic, celph titled, apathy, esoteric etc etc
last speaker?
fuck it
Akala+ Lowkey + Black the ripper + sway = pure fire
7:11. Thats partly true thoe. Lowkey and Akala are mad rappers with amazing lyrics but you wana aim to make a change as an individual, not just be heard but make a change in whats happening in our corrupted world.
@MonayJay He gets respect because he started it ..but since writing that comment I watched another video where he explains it abit more id still say kool herc started it but i get where he was coming from with it
@JuicyFruitSkank nah, the dude talking before him was Saul Williams
❤
Lowkey and Akala are the truth
@shottawayne No, you need to analyse what he's saying is that when you eat at a shitty restaurant you may think that all of the food in that area is shitty.
This can be related to hip hop because people who don't like hip hop often times say 'Oh well all the Artists ever talk about is girls, cars and money' when actually if you look hardest enough there are rappers who rap about real stuff. Same as you could probably find a good restaurant in that area.
Hope I helped. ^_^
@JuicyFruitSkank Oops! Meant the guy with the dreads and the hat... rather than just the dreads... But yeah, thank you anyway! Do you have any idea who the guy with the dreads and the little hat is...?;P
logic, black the ripper, mic righteous, english frank
@TheBbg83 Indeed, I'll second that. There was never such a thing that could ever have been identified as even similar to hip hop in Africa, nor is it still anywhere near as prevalent there as it is in the western hemisphere (nor will it ever be, in my honest opinion).
lowkey is a genius
@TheTruth8018 I agreed with you until I saw you mention 2pac...yes he made a tunes about ghettos & poverty but that was also his reality. He spoke the truth and went against the elite to try and make us see what really goes on. Pac also had songs on many different topics he werent one minded...Anyway this video is one of the best on SBTV
big up lowkey and akala, anyone know when lowkeys album is out?
BLIND ADMIRATION
as far as I'm concerned, Lowkey is the greatest rapper of all time
@lightinthedark123 A truly educated man can never be a racist.
Is there any tune with Akala and Lowkey?
Yeah it's called Behind My Painted Smile
Who's the guy who uses the mcdonalds analogy ?
ye it is a lot easier to get mainstream success by following that formula but it doesn't mean you can't get it without, eminem for example is one of if not the biggest rapper ever, and the american government hated him and what he stood for, he even released mosh as a single, whether you like him or not, hes a perfect example. Tupac got huge commercial success also. I just think blaming 'the system' is a bit of an easy excuse at times
where can i find that acoustic for all falls down
Lauryn Hill - Mystery of Iniquity.
muzic mate Thank you it may just be the greatest song ive ever heard
tbf i havnt got a problem with his verse delivery, but i don't think he can nail a chorus which doesnt matter if your just a pure rap fan, but u cnt expect it to get mainsteam success.
How was this 7 years ago maaaaaan?
lowkey is the best out there
ive never seen lowkey smile or laugh i think that could be his let down
