This is so true. I remember all the south asians in the uk were getting arrested and stopped. Like even the sikhs and hindua...every brown person was a suspect. Lol. My best mate whose muslim was stopped everytime we went on holiday. Bloody hell...but now he just smiles and asks them "do u wanna search me.." Lol. We go to the airport extra early...ready to be searched so we don't get late. Great song riz
I came here because of The Night Of on HBO... didn't even know the guy was British. Holy shit, I love his acting.... and he raps.. Idk I might be in "love" right now lol
Haven't seen Nightcrawler yet...tried to watch it with my bf but he passed out...lol This guy is on the new HBO series "The Night Of" it's so good!! He's a really good actor.
Ahh.. So FINALLY I found somebody in the comments-section who's still 'alive'[ enough] to revert, irrespective of civility. Hello there, Ma'am...! Hope you're doing well. Now getting to the topic.. So it appears like you didn't get the point through my term “artistic intent”, did you? Well.. I'm willing to define THAT for you but given the scarcity of still-'alive' commenters here, I'm more incentivised towards a _quid pro quo_ - actually. So.. Are you an English resident for long enough? If so.. Precisely where? Greater London, or..?
I saw a thing about this on Channel4 News aaaages ago but just saw the video! Its great! Good on you for realeasing your song! I hope it gets the recognition it deserves!
I heard this ages ages ago too on Radio 1 and thought it was spot on. takes me back to that time when all we did was watch bbc news 24 all day long. Riz MC is a clever dude
Amazing tune. How has it taken me so long to hear it? I am British and well into my music and yet good old British censoring stopped me. That's the sort of State we live in now. Everything done in the name of anti-terrorism. This country sucks so hard these days. BTW came here from listening to Sweat Shop Boys. Fantastic. Keep up the good work man.
Swet Shop Boys.* There! Proper-nouns doesn't have to be grammatically-accurate. FTFY 😊 And indeed.. Thanks for defying stereotypes of "being British", it's just..
Saw this on the film "Taking Liberties" - a brilliant film, by the way - and so I just now googled for this track and here we are! Great stuff: so British, so coy, so silly, so sharp. Love it.
Awesome tune! Rizwan, u made day whenu discovered this tune! Keep up the good work and briish pakistanis proud with your work! I'm buying this from itunes to support Riz :)
Fab! I'm so happy that you're familiar with his work. He has a new film being released here (state side) this weekend...Trishna. It looks phenomenal. I've read the novel that inspired the screen play and have a lot of respect for the director.
Quality. I just went to my first Mehndi - my brother married a Pakistani girl. Top tunes as they had a Bhangra DJ as well, which I'd never experienced, all the Aunties were going mental on the dancefloor lol....would have been funny to drop this one. Peace.
This song is years old, I doubt you'd be able to get it even if you found out where it's from. But your best bet is probably to ask Riz himself, send him a tweet.
Yes Riz Mate lovely work, My name is Kashif Nijabat a young up and Coming Producer / Director and i just love your work and thought i would say hi, i would love to work with you at some point, i am working on a project to do with Honour killings and if you could give some advise or input that would be great,
Remember watching this when it came out and loved it, now hes made it to the big time in stuff like star wars :D well done mate. Also four lions is the best!
Thats one of the best comments ever! Yes I have to agree 100%...I grew up on a farm and I miss all the simple things that this beautiful world has to offer.
True,true. I went to NYC for a few months. Although its the city that never sleeps. Its also the city that never compromises. I could not wait to get back to the beautiful country side of Kentucky. Thats why I like SC its rural with a cute downtown. My hometown lacked the cute downtown thing...hahaha
he's so young and small here aww
He had some serious guts releasing this after 9.11. Mad respect for this dude.
This is so true. I remember all the south asians in the uk were getting arrested and stopped. Like even the sikhs and hindua...every brown person was a suspect. Lol. My best mate whose muslim was stopped everytime we went on holiday. Bloody hell...but now he just smiles and asks them "do u wanna search me.." Lol.

Fucking shocking that you have to do that just to not be late..

Bro happens to me still till this day lol
Remember getting stopped at Leeds and Bradford Airport because my name was mohammed
Here after listening to The Long Goodbye. Rizwan Ahmed has come a long way.
Sure has. The long Goodbye is an incredible project
"I farted and got arrested for a chemical attack"
ROFLMAO
My politics teacher showed us this. It was about the only decent thing she ever did in class.
Which country, if I may?
Islamic victimology.
Lol they didn't show us guess I missed out
He should get an award for the best teacher
@@greatspirithowd you even get here lil bigot?
Still here 15 years later. Big up Rizwan
I came here because of The Night Of on HBO... didn't even know the guy was British. Holy shit, I love his acting.... and he raps.. Idk I might be in "love" right now lol
I felt the exact same thing.
He's in the film "Four Lions". Which is pretty funny and in a very similar vein as this.
Casey Oliver same girl
Casey Oliver I feel you. Gorgeous, hilarious, talented, he's a babe.
100% make sure Four Lions. One of the best of the decade.
Boi’s come a long way to Sound of Metal and an Oscar nom. Such a phenomenal actor! Going to go down as one of the all time greats 🔥
10 years later he played a major roll in blowing up the deathstar, killing many many workers, prisoners and janitors etc
hannes jacobsson REBELS ARE TERRORISTS
Why are YOU. SPELLING. THE. OBVIOUS. OUT - "@@eowynsalvador6664"?
I came here after seeing you on the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Great song and I'mma share it every where
Same here
Riz Ahmed was a really good in the movie 'Nightcrawler'
Haven't seen Nightcrawler yet...tried to watch it with my bf but he passed out...lol This guy is on the new HBO series "The Night Of" it's so good!! He's a really good actor.
Still listening to this classic
i can't believe how perfectly articulated this is, brilliant
Like a nursery rhyme.
Soothing and creepy at the same time.
Are you insinuating it's not "the artistic intent", but mere "audience's interpretation" - Ms "@@moonaa4495"?
@@maazkalim that's just what I got from it it's definitely artistic and I'm sure alot of time went into creating this
Ahh..
So FINALLY I found somebody in the comments-section who's still 'alive'[ enough] to revert, irrespective of civility.
Hello there, Ma'am...!
Hope you're doing well.
Now getting to the topic..
So it appears like you didn't get the point through my term “artistic intent”, did you?
Well.. I'm willing to define THAT for you but given the scarcity of still-'alive' commenters here, I'm more incentivised towards a _quid pro quo_ - actually.
So.. Are you an English resident for long enough? If so.. Precisely where? Greater London, or..?
Uh-huh?!?
Who are you, Mr "@@Kosmetik"?
A sock-puppet?
riz is multi talented and his eyes are open to all the bs.... he was also in 4 lions and road to guantanomo
To think this guy played Ballister, wow. Banger.
It's so fuckin rare to come across a topical song these days and it's even rarer to find one this good. good on ya man.
And you tube recommends it in 2020. Keep rising Riz.
I've watched this on RUclips 10 years ago wow
I remember seeing him live at truck festival in little old steventon oxfordshire.
Amazing how relevant it's remained
I'm finding this like 17 years late but wanted to say it's fantastic, lol
my mate showed me this back in the day, now he's in star wars and on Colbert. What a change
Your mate’s done well for himself! 🤣
😁👍🏼
Just saw your interview on Taking Liberties and came here to listen to the entire song, great man. Sad how true this is.
I saw a thing about this on Channel4 News aaaages ago but just saw the video! Its great! Good on you for realeasing your song! I hope it gets the recognition it deserves!
The real slim shady feel.
True
And now he's on the cover of Time magazine!!!
This guy is everywhere lately. I was just watching "the OA", and bam, there he is.
I heard this ages ages ago too on Radio 1 and thought it was spot on. takes me back to that time when all we did was watch bbc news 24 all day long. Riz MC is a clever dude
Where in the world was I at when this came? Probably watching post 9-11 news only.
Oscar nominated now
Baller. Thanks Riz. Great work in The Night Of. I'll check the rest of your reel now.
Amazing tune. How has it taken me so long to hear it? I am British and well into my music and yet good old British censoring stopped me. That's the sort of State we live in now. Everything done in the name of anti-terrorism. This country sucks so hard these days. BTW came here from listening to Sweat Shop Boys. Fantastic. Keep up the good work man.

Rubber dingy rapids bro!
Duh...!
Absoultely fantastic, how did I miss this.
Saw this on the film "Taking Liberties" - a brilliant film, by the way - and so I just now googled for this track and here we are! Great stuff: so British, so coy, so silly, so sharp. Love it.
Watched It for the first time. I believe I was living under stone till now,
I… I think I like him better as a rapper, which is really saying something considering how good of an actor he is.
Here after watching Riz's interview with Trevor Noah. Wow Riz's is so talented man 👍 this was an amazingly well edited and produced video 2006
Great song. Very clever, funny, catchy and relevant.
Awesome tune! Rizwan, u made day whenu discovered this tune!
Keep up the good work and briish pakistanis proud with your work!
I'm buying this from itunes to support Riz :)
“itunes” is not the only place, ya know?
@@maazkalim he commented that 12 years ago
...And, "dear" "@@anjum1130"? 🧐
Fab! I'm so happy that you're familiar with his work. He has a new film being released here (state side) this weekend...Trishna. It looks phenomenal. I've read the novel that inspired the screen play and have a lot of respect for the director.
Here in the year 2020, I miss when this came out and all I had to worry about was the post 9/11 Blues. Great song Riz.
this song is a classic :D one of those songs you can come to and have a laugh but you always keep the seriousness of it at the back of your mind
Quality. I just went to my first Mehndi - my brother married a Pakistani girl. Top tunes as they had a Bhangra DJ as well, which I'd never experienced, all the Aunties were going mental on the dancefloor lol....would have been funny to drop this one.
Peace.
Amazing song, totally true...and just saw this guy's performance in "Britz" ...absolutely superb!
This is freaking awesome!! Well done.
oh wow, havent heard this song for years. glad i found it again.
Love this track so much. Not expecting a reply but I would love to know where that black sweatshirt with the bright colours is from? Want it bad
This song is years old, I doubt you'd be able to get it even if you found out where it's from. But your best bet is probably to ask Riz himself, send him a tweet.
its a shame this tune never got more popularity. I can't believe its been 4 years since release.
Comment from 10 years ago 🤪
@ZayedG Haroon hardly ancient, if I was a baby I would be premature.
@ZayedG Haroon maybe we will never know :(
I love Riz MC. Once I get an I pod or Mp3 I am definitely buying all his songs for my I pod or Mp3.
Song is brilliant! Video is brilliant! Riz MC is brilliant! Even his damn jumper is brilliant! Doesn't get much better than this...
didn't even know this existed but Riz is a G-enius
Jail made Naz a whole new man i swear
God bless this song! August 2020!
2023 and I've come back for this truth
Yes Riz Mate lovely work, My name is Kashif Nijabat a young up and Coming Producer / Director and i just love your work and thought i would say hi, i would love to work with you at some point, i am working on a project to do with Honour killings and if you could give some advise or input that would be great,
so clever, i wish i saw this back in the day
This video is fantastic,and what a laugh, thanks for sharing!!
"if i haven't shaved they won't sit with me on the bus"

came from The Night Of... man this is it!!
Brilliant mate. Great video great song, great lyrics. The thing was a fix from the start anyway, just look at the buildings dropping for no reason?!?
Remember watching this when it came out and loved it, now hes made it to the big time in stuff like star wars :D well done mate. Also four lions is the best!
So young !!
fantastic song and video.
Why is this so good!!!!!!
Bruv! This is so cute, big up on the new drops my man.
great video! it´s very funny, i like your sarcastic approach.
enuff of the intellectualizing-the fact is this song is grrrr8! comedy is the best way to deal with controvery! long live riz!!!
wow. super funny stuff. the first time i've seen it. and i subscribed right away :)
i saw that documentary too, was crying with the apathy around me while all this is happening
It’s been officially 16 years
wicked track man... I like your playful flows and punchlines
The days when one man with a bag could empty a bus 😂
This is so cool...so why ami seeing it just now?
Chilling
This is as pertinent today as it was 6 years ago. Good on you riz.
Peace in the middle east.
Thats one of the best comments ever! Yes I have to agree 100%...I grew up on a farm and I miss all the simple things that this beautiful world has to offer.
I saw this from Taking Liberties too! It was a great documentary.
Love this still as fresh as the day it was first made !!!!!
I'm back, 8 years later Riz! Still suffering the Post 9/11 blues in 2023.
12 years later and where still here. Good on you Riz. I member london mela police surroundeu
That Santa line was super dope, great double entendre
Amazing song!!!
Thanks CFCmoe I had no idea, you really cleared it up for me, gosh!!!
Hey just saw ure vid on Taking Liberties, boy are they. Keep going!
Just discovered that this song is built around samples from experimental British composer Delia Derbyshire's "Mattachin." Cool!
This is such a good video. Brilliant song always creating songs with meaning.
True,true. I went to NYC for a few months. Although its the city that never sleeps. Its also the city that never compromises. I could not wait to get back to the beautiful country side of Kentucky. Thats why I like SC its rural with a cute downtown. My hometown lacked the cute downtown thing...hahaha
Thanks for turning me on to this. But I'm wondering where you get bomb-proof kicks in the US.
Well done riz on the Venom movie
And now he got a symbiote riot inside him :"v
Back to work Carlton drake.
It's 1992 all over again on this track. Did Prince Paul do the beat?
Still loving Rizwan in 2023! ❤
