A line I think you did catch but is one of the greatest bars I've ever heard is: "Those that talk sense get outlined in chalk, those that talk shit get a line of support." Oh my god if that bar still doesn't hit just as hard several years later.
Wait so the outline in chalk refers to when a person dies, they draw the outline of where the body was last placed upon their death which I get. But what’s the line of support? Or is it just meant literally.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER - That last 3rd hitting on all the evil we have done , teach others history , being life in rap and poetry combined .... what a legend
I'm not sure you get it. Dr Akala doesn't even miss a word or bar. Not one hesitation. Ever. Once. In any of his fitb's. The content is worthy of any of the world's universities text books. There are great lyricist's but you can't have any of them in this brothers lane. It just seems mumble in comparison.
More potter payper!! Start with 2020 vision freestyle.... as he was fresh home from jail then ....and go from there ... training day 3 mixtape is LEGENDARY!!
24 songs with just one short feature from Mover at the end. And you don’t get bored of him once throughout. Just straight bars the whole way through. Crazy talent. Such a sick tape
Bro I've been waiting for actual years for you to react to this. I've commented on quite a few videos talking about akala and telling you I know you'll love his fire in the booth part 1,2,3 and 4. Thank you for now checking this one out. When you follow a reactor for long enough you sort of get to know them even if they don't know you and I just knew you'd love akala. My top 3 are literally 1:eminem 2:akala 3:low-key
@@OfMaceAndMen you're the one stating the obvious by saying it you donut 🤣🤣 of course everyone misses it. If you're gonna complain that they miss it, at least explain it for them or something
Listen to rap since the 80’s.. this is prophetic next level. Can’t get any better than this. He’s here for a message. Spitting the message for the lost.
Knucks is one of the most under appreciated artists out of the UK!! Scru he is so smooth with it! Please react to his Daily Duppy, Home, Nice & Good, 21 Candles, Alpha House, Standout ft Loyle Carner (also underrated), Leon the Professional, Hide & Seek, Three Musketeers, Los Pollos Hermanos, Thames, Rice & Stew and Ting Tun Up Part 2.
Scru have you seen Dave's actual FITB yet? If not i def recommend it, its up there with this and wretch32's ones. (and ofc i know you be loving dave in general LOL)
SCRU, please please MIC Righteous FITB 3 and 4 NEXT! After that u must dive into KNUCKS. ( Leon The Professional, Alpha House, Nice And Good, Home ) Knucks is up and coming in the UK ATM but seriously has it all !!!!
Akala and Lowkey are on their own level. Hard to say ones better in terms of conscious lyricism or activism as they're both elite to the extent of being scholars as much as rappers and both active in delivering a message. I'd possibly give Akala the edge in terms of flow though. UK rap underrated af in the States fr
A good (well i wouldn't call him a lower level, maybe, less globally consciousness). Other rapper to check out is mic righteous, later mic reckless. He's got 3 great FITB, Check out- the pen
This is the biggest performance of a breaking through UK MC. You don’t even need to flop to be finished, you can be finished if you are just good here. This shit is food or famine for most so they not going hungry are they?
Will always be my greatest inspiration when I managed to meet him during my University days. Great reaction as always! Thanks Respect for Lowkey and Righteous Brown
You NEED to react to Songer - Blackbox Sunrise Session - hes an amazing (white) storytelling and lyrical, yet witty rapper with a great catalogue, but the blackbox is one of his best freestyles and speaks deeply about black struggle
This is the best reaction to this that I've ever seen. Because, you've realised what we all know. He's the best ever. Now you need to realise another thing we all know. Potter Payper is the best street rapper in the UK. Please do his 2020 vision freestlye and then do Gangsteritus.
He also does this on world order debates/ he does this in political debates, he is one of the most knowledgeable and humble man yet has the talent to also RAP RAP, this is the outcome!!!
"Love is not soft or sorry / love is so tough it can make your mum catch a body" is really a double meaning a) mum's will do anything for their kids including kill to protect them b) mums will literally grow (catch a body) their kids in them one of the hardest things a human can do
Let's get some Lowkey on the channel. Any of his FITB's, GRM daily or Ahmed, Ghosts of Grenfell, Return of Lowkey (probably not 1st though) or Terrorist. If you're feeling Akala then you need Lowkey in your life
I love the respect you got for Akala his the GOAT. You really need to check out the thieves banquet part1 and got plenty of recommendations.... Murder run's the globe Who's the gangster Sbtv s2 e2...etc. hope you stay on the Akala Train. #uncleakala #flowfather...
You're on point my dude, Akala is beyond anyone else. Always has been the Don. Only person who comes close on a FITB is possibly Lowkey, Just Akala has it ALL 🔥
'I was at Sharpeville, I was just two My mother, with a bullet in her head, and I knew Barely out of her womb, I played with her wound' AAAAAAAAAAAAAH what is thattttt!! I heard it late, but the year it came out and it still catches me off guard
Just subscribed. Came across your channel because of your UK rap reactions. Akala gives me goosebumps. Check out the UK ladies. Lady Leshurr has a Diss track called DIV. Another rapper called Ivorian Doll had 3 bars in her daily duppy about Lady Leshurr so she came back with a whole track and annhialated her. Her flow, bars, lyrics and energy are 🔥. Great reactions.
akala is too sick...if you want the BEST punches and bars in ANY fitb, check out Rhyme Asylums one, you'll be holding up that pillow the entire time lool
17:11 scru, might be because alot of black americans would have migrated to america generations ago so at this point the current generation feels less african and more american. one kinda example of this ive heard about is some americans saying they are from florida but dont know where they are from in africa sorta thing
The thing about rappers talking about Africa. I always say that one of the worst things African Americans inherited over here after they severed our connection with our homelands is that American self-centerdness. American exceptionalism. It makes me think about that bar Los had about keeping the slave invested in the masters enterprise. It's sad for real. Malcolm X said we can never be free here until we’re free in Africa.(Congo specifically)
Akala is unmatched, his knowledge, independence and will to educate others makes him the GOAT!! Did anyone else think JME was taking shots in That’s not me when he said ‘how could a man with a uni degree be bussing up Mic and Chating his grease ‘cause the music originated and will always remain on the streets’ I can’t think of anyone else he could be chatting about?! I might be wrong but my mind went straight to Akala. His book which features this spoken rap is epic x
Scru, you need to drop some Dream Chaser ish with Akala if possible. Reckon they'd be playin that from Buenos Aires to Beijing, DC to Nairobi. Thanks for the vid!!
Akala is a beast!!!! Abit of knowledge for yas he has a once famous sister as well Called MS Dynamite she was the shit back in the day Queen level spitter!
Akala is the greatest.. alot of people wont be able to admit that.
A line I think you did catch but is one of the greatest bars I've ever heard is: "Those that talk sense get outlined in chalk, those that talk shit get a line of support." Oh my god if that bar still doesn't hit just as hard several years later.

💯real talk 👍
It means the real struggle of rappers won't be financially or endorsed yet somehow the radio/RUclips/fake bs Will be
@@shadorealr7827 they actually do the chalk outline if the person is still alive
Akala is on a different league, the mind of that man !
That spoken word at the end always gives me chills man, what a king Akala is!
I listened to this about 80 times and it gets me every time...it transcends rap, music, art....realest shit I ever heard
"Designed by Man's Mind But Built By His Greed" the strangest pyramids I ever did see .. Wasn't built with stones but with the Bones of Families ...
Chills. First time I heard that, I had to take several minutes to just think about what I had just heard.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER - That last 3rd hitting on all the evil we have done , teach others history , being life in rap and poetry combined .... what a legend
Akala.....legend....lyrics and flows are unmatched
Bro u gotta check out Roll Safe (R.S) fire in the booth. One of the best verses you'll ever hear no cap🔥🔥🔥
Scru isn't ready for that one yet bro!
One of if not THE best
The lyricism is too 😮💨😮💨
I don't think you're lithening
🤣🤣🤣
Yes he is Scru!! He is a God, like Mic, so afther part 4 of Akala its time for part 4 Mic Reckless/Righteous
Grtz and love from Amsterdam
2nd this

Heavy vouch
24 songs with just one short feature from Mover at the end. And you don’t get bored of him once throughout. Just straight bars the whole way through. Crazy talent. Such a sick tape
For real! Man could make a months worth of sick reviews
Hes gonna lose his shit if he does potter payper - training day 3 album
It will take him a little bit of time to get to Pottet and like it. Potter the goat goat goat.
This guy kills everything he does
Bro I've been waiting for actual years for you to react to this. I've commented on quite a few videos talking about akala and telling you I know you'll love his fire in the booth part 1,2,3 and 4.

Educational brother that can really spit … real MC .. we need to protect him at all costs 🙏🏽
Oh been waiting for him to get back into Akala!!!!
Everyone misses the "Don’t all do education in warzones, mans shook to go Peckham" line, its fuckin gold.
Because no American knows what Peckham is
@@sharpy122 yes darling i know that. Thank you for stating the obvious sweetie.
@@OfMaceAndMen you're the one stating the obvious by saying it you donut 🤣🤣 of course everyone misses it. If you're gonna complain that they miss it, at least explain it for them or something
Man shoots to go pick them* referring to the warzones not being scared of Peckham 😂
Akala is the king of the pen and flow, the best from UK!
Knowledge is power big love UK. This guy will teach you a lesson
Listen to rap since the 80’s.. this is prophetic next level. Can’t get any better than this. He’s here for a message. Spitting the message for the lost.
Lowkey fire in the booth- Part 2. Possibly the best one 🥶🥶🔥🔥
Knucks is one of the most under appreciated artists out of the UK!! Scru he is so smooth with it! Please react to his Daily Duppy, Home, Nice & Good, 21 Candles, Alpha House, Standout ft Loyle Carner (also underrated), Leon the Professional, Hide & Seek, Three Musketeers, Los Pollos Hermanos, Thames, Rice & Stew and Ting Tun Up Part 2.
Yeah I think his daily dippy is a good place to start
He’s not an under appreciated artist anymore
Great shout stll. Anything from knucks mad under appreciated 💯
Definitely the king of fire in booth absolutely amazing 😮
All I gotta say is, great choice brudda 👏👏
Scru have you seen Dave's actual FITB yet? If not i def recommend it, its up there with this and wretch32's ones. (and ofc i know you be loving dave in general LOL)

SCRU, please please MIC Righteous FITB 3 and 4 NEXT! After that u must dive into KNUCKS. ( Leon The Professional, Alpha House, Nice And Good, Home ) Knucks is up and coming in the UK ATM but seriously has it all !!!!
Ocean wisdom FITB got to be listened to one of the most underrated rappers in the U.K.
Knucks - Home. Priority reaction! So so good!
Dave - Lazarus!! Can’t believe you haven’t done this yet! Massive African vibe!!!
his mind makes him above most if not all .....and he is real spitter ...worlds a brighter place with him in it ......proud to be a londoner
Akala and Lowkey are on their own level.
Hard to say ones better in terms of conscious lyricism or activism as they're both elite to the extent of being scholars as much as rappers and both active in delivering a message.
I'd possibly give Akala the edge in terms of flow though.

It makes me think about that bar Los had about keeping the slave invested in the masters enterprise. It's sad for real. Malcolm X said we can never be free here until we’re free in Africa.(Congo specifically)
There are lectures he did at Oxford on RUclips. He runs a project to do with Shakespeare and hip hop.where he literaly teaches hip hop
