D Double E is the bridge between Garage & Grime. That’s why we all look up to man, elder statesman for the scene & culture. Almost everyone I know, grew up on soul & reggae
You have to live in a certain area or have parents with a Caribbean or African background or a parent with musical taste to get that music as a backdrop over here. I have a lot of learning to do.
Yooo! Thanks for reactin to all these uk vids man, just finished this and been binging your vids the past few evenings and will prob carry on catchin up. Love what you say and think around peoples flows and that, hope your channel keeps growin 👊 Lookin forward to watchin along with your sox/manga set reaction when that drops, sox is jokes, big up brum!
My g. I was having a super stressful day honestly. The words alone would’ve put the battery back in me. But the super thanks has shown me I’m doing the right thing. Thank you for the support and kind words. Sox and manga coming up asap.
Dope reaction, i remember watching this some years ago and i was like Whoaaaaaaaa! This is what you call talent not to forget the unity and respect these dudes have for each other!
mad respect for anyone reacting to whole sets, the amount of work you are putting in to reacting is crazy. Definately should do the ghetts One! and yes working with acetate is a bitch haha (medical work for My part though)
in this set we touch on My intro to the garage and later grime scene, the Streets (Mike Skinner) massive at the Time (Early 00's), did a bunch of colabs with upcoming grimeartists and put the mainstreams eye on that scene. He took Kano and ghetts On tour with him before they got big. Kano shouts him out here (and in a lot of His songs) and uses some of His bars.
What are they using that stuff for in the medical I’m so curious to know now. Bless for rocking with this set. I was super nervous doing it and dropping it. I’m like who wants to see my ugly mug for 1.5 hours 😭😭😂😂. Ghetts set is coming up. I’ve planned some different and longer format videos to test since this went so well.
@Jurnalist we used it widely for dialysis in liquid form Up until a few years ago, in the form of sodium acetate rather than what i Guess would be cellulose acetate in vinyl pressings, would fuck your skin Up Every damn Time 🤣
@@johabe2382 that’s crazy as hell now I’m on yt looking at videos. I had no idea about sodium acetate. Bless for the information the more you know right.
Great reaction and review. I know this has been mentioned many times but this shows the difference between hiphop and Grime culture. Obviously when Kool Herc came from Jamaica and started spinning he took the Jamaican Sound system culture and in the states it became Hiphop were the UK takes from the Root of Jamaican Sound systems and went into Jungle and then evolved with Garage and Drum and Bass into what became known as Grime. IMO Americans always seem to think Hiphop came first when it didn't. Its not until you start watching other cultures you learn the true origins of a lot of all the music we love came from that small island with alot of influence. Apologies for a essay on each reaction but I'm really liking your insights into music and culture. Peace
That is true, UK scenes evolved differently to US in the ways you outline. However, I think it is only fair to also acknowledge that obviously, as a country the UK is not in a vacuum and US Hiphop became as massive here as everywhere else. No doubt our MCs have been influenced by that too - indeed, Kano and Ghetts for example often talk of Biggie, Tupac, Jay Z, Nas etc as amongst their favourites, as well as being directly influenced by homegrown talent like D Double E etc. Lots of influences from all sorts of different places trickling down into what eventually made Grime culture.
Never worry the essays for me are what's all about. I used to think the same way but you have to account for American exceptionalism. If we didn't keep anything from the Empire we kept that bit and turned it to a 1000. Without the extra time, I would still think hiphop is first. I now say hiphop is the most powerful of all music creations to date. It subverts language region and time far more easily than anything I've ever heard or seen in history or in my time. Soundsytem to grime that is the history lesson road I am on with these. I've seen some ogs prior like Smiley Culture or 90s UK hiphop 13days in may but those came with little context or none at all. In America we are taught JA is a vacation destination we don't even cover slavery in the Caribbean. If I did have the background I have I still wouldn't know these things smh. we have a lot to fix here. Thanks for rocking with me its really appreciated.
That's big facts but the progression I think is what is so interesting. American went sound system to the park to parties to 80s rap to 90s rap and the 2000's to now trap . The Uk though went sound system/dancehall to uk hiphop(heavy US influence) to garage to jungle to dnb to grime. The Drill emerges outside of all that and 30 other sub genres that don't exist in America. that evolution to me and its differences sonically is what intrigue me the most. For my UK list I know the order isn't exact but I think you guys get me lol.
My guy, us lot in the UK will have patience for someone like you that’s fully interested and not giving empty criticism coz it’s not American. Love for that. I’m watching
My guy I’m here for the long haul. Imagine a year from tos video being released I was in America. Today writing this from the balcony of my Leith flat. Just returned from London in July and performed on mode fm. I’ve come a long way but I’m here for the long haul of garage grime jungle and dnb. 🫡
All these man came up together and crossed paths 15-20 years on London pirate radio scene so are used to going to spitting bars all for fun, when there was no money or mainstream attention. They all have respect for each so these type of sets are like a reunion for them lol. Mc's from North, East and south Ldn
Yea I get that and I personally would operate with this kind of energy. But emcees in my country the culture is not taught in a way to respect these bonds. Man wouldn't do this without the bag and it meeting x criteria. Very rare to see this level of comradery in my music scene especially hiphop/rap. Moving like this allows history to be made more often than I see it happening here.
just to give a little context to the heavy carribean influnce in uk culture the uk didnt have slaves in the same way america did they had slaves but they were in all of the british conlonies like america after world war 2 london was destroyed and they needed help rebuilding the city so they sent ships to all of their colonies mainly africa and and the carrebiean offering homes and jobs to people to come help rebuild this was known as the windrush named after the first ship sent out after the city was rebuilt they tried to deport the people that came to help and thos that werent deported were given council homes(think section 8 housing) at the literal ends of the city and thats what the ends are so most black people in the uk are only 2nd or 3rd generation uk citizens
That blows my mind to think its only 2-3 that's like a snap in time essentially. Yea chattel slavery in America really changed the connection and root system for African Americans without a sustained effort we wouldn't know anything over here. I was wondering why it had that name and it makes even ore sense now. TY for that gem. Thank you for all these gems this is great context culturally I jus cant get from the music.
Man when I did this video I was like just 10 people is all I need to know this might work. The response is crazy and mind blowing. Thank you for the support I for sure will keep the quality up to respect the response.
Yeah - Sixty Minutes Live is like a jam session with artists and their guests/friends. It’s a dope platform. First track is Hail off MITM - it’s the song itself - not just the bars. 🔥🔥🔥 Yeah - they all need to self edit on any BBC show like this, but often they slip up (many times on purpose 😅) Not supposed to swear or reference drugs/weapons etc. Totally agree tbh about Feelin’ Myself - was not sold on the beat at all. Good to see the 3 legends Kano, Wretch and Chip perform together live but they deserved a better beat and production for the original collab. D Double E is a total legend. The ‘Dir-tee tee, that’s mreee mreee, bid-a-bop-bop!’ are his iconic ad-libs from long time - not just on the Class of Deja track. You remembered Footsie from the 60mins you did with Skepta, JME, Fekky, Dizzee and General Levy etc. Footsie and D Double E are in the Newham Generals crew. I would compare Kano & Ghetts to JayZ and Nas tbh - different obviously but the levels they brought to their scenes are comparable. D Double came out before them and so was massively looked up to by OGs like Kano, Skepta and Dizzee when they were starting out. The first real OGs/creators of the scene were Wiley and Dizzee, along with people like Lethal Bizzle, followed not long after by Kano. Those guys are like the first four pillars of grime as it came to be. That’s why I love the Kano line in ‘Class of Deja’: “Where were you back then? Where you back then? I was putting in work on a roof back then, with a few mandem…” It’s a nice double… it refers to the pirate radio days on the roofs of high rises in London doing Grime sets and clashes, and also implies that Kano helped to finish building the budding genre of Grime whose foundations were started by people like Wiley, Dizzee and D Double. Peshwari is an Indian naan bread common in restaurants over here 😅 Kano’s track Ps & Qs is like his early massive breakthrough track which cemented his legendary status in the scene and it is now a grime classic. His flows and delivery was real different. He was fairly young when he did it - Ghetts has a cameo in the video too. The last couple of guys that came in are from Heartless Crew, a UK Garage band that Kano and most of the other MCs in the clip would have grown up listening to, hence the gassed response 😅 Grime is a direct offshoot of UK Garage, dancehall and other influences. Garage was more about the vibe rather than the bars - Grime was a direct response to that… Wiley tried to MC at Garage raves originally but the DJs weren’t having it 😅 So Wiley went off and made Eskibeat to rap over, which is basically embryonic Grime. You should react to his track ‘Wot U Call It?’ to hear the evolution 👌
If you react to quality sets like this - no matter the length - we will watch. It’s great to see new eyes and ears appreciating the levels on stuff like this. Keep em coming - really enjoyed re-experiencing this set again here. 🔥🔥
Quality explanation this bro. Lot of context to the early days. And the end of the bar you mentioned 'better call Rooney for some proof right now before we do fact checks' Rooney is the real name of risky roads who was the first person the document grime in that way.
it felt like a rap version of a jam session which again is a unique thing we don't have here. That first track was a cold one and that Giggs and Wretch record floats. I can't imagine needing to edit for radio I'm cussing tonight yall paying these fines I tell you what lol. Feelin' myself is a 100 times better live but that beat is also a 100 times better than blow my trumpet. Okay, I didn't know they were like trademark adlibs and such that's dope a real storied career that D Double E guy. I will learn it. Yea that Jay Z Nas comparison I felt was apt as they feel like that level just the UK versions when talking music. That kano I was putting in work on the roof back then wit a few mandem section is my fav part of Deja until ghetts and him trade then that Repercussions Steven I'm trying to even something section is just like jeez. I need to get out more Peshwari is news to me. Now only hearing the live version when I hear references to Ps and Qs I now know the relevance so it makes the bars harder. I heard Mitch had one in this video I watched from No Jumper and was like OOOOO I know that reference lol. Yea that Bashment garage and dancehall era I have no frame of reference I'm just like who are these dons and why such reverence it all makes sense now. Dope comment as always a pleasure.
The length of time is just like idk but the response shows I was worried about the wrong stuff again. Just like doing these reviews I put it off for so long to now see how well its started makes me kick myself I should've been doing this. thank you again.
Okay I didn't know Riskys name was Rooney but now I'm gonna be saying this bar with even more Chest lol. yea artist and you and a few others really give m that deeper context with accurate information always dope reading your guys comments.
The beat at 33.00 is The Streets more a garage beat, should check them out one day they were some of the first to break through more mainstream along with Dizzee Rascal who is an OG grime artist and if you are interested in going back in the day Roots Manuva has been doing the hip-hop thing since the 80's.
@@Jurnalist_ For Roots Manuva I'd check 'Strange Behaviour', 'Movements', 'Juggle tings proper' or frankly anything of the album 'Brand New Second Hand' from 1999.
@@Jurnalist_anything from original pirate material from the streets. They’re legends. As a side note , Mike skinner the vocals from the streets is in Kano ps and qs video, the white guy in the long coat 😅
@@Jurnalist_ I no doubt got some content to catch up on but yeah good reaction was a good introduction to you and what you know of UK scene and culture around it
@@Jacoc323 o yea definitely have some content for you to get lost in. Check the playlist. They are in order of the journey through the Uk music if you want a more concise viewing of my learning and journey through the scene. Again thank you for even checking the content.
@@Jurnalist_ Jammer and Mak 10 (one of the original DJs from pirate radio days) did a DJ set on Mode London (a radio station) recently. Set was just a load of old school instrumentals and a vocals. Mak 10 drops the Lewi White remix at 37:00. Sounds a lot better and deeper than that vinyl rip up on youtube. Search for 'Mode London | Mak 10 B2B Jammer' if you want to check it out (not for a reaction though). I don't think the version on youtube does it justice.
That really fast tune is Shy fx ft. kano - raver Right from the drum and bass archives, a whole other genre. Not see a US reactor that can get their head around d&b yet
You also need to react to more JME who is Skeptas brother, also did you know Jammer & Skepta was never ever MCs they was Instrumental Beat makers but then also started spitting on there beats look where they’re now man.
Heartless crew (mighty moe and bushkin) were instrumental in Garage turning into grime. This is what was bubbling when Wiley and that gen came up with the style. The battles with Pay as you go were legendary. Most of the early bars the original grime heads would have been writing were written to go over garage beats at a time when there were no grime instrumentals. This is why garage is one of the main influences of grime and the genre it most closely resembles. These times D Double E was a drum n bass DJ and JME was too young to get into any of the raves. When grime started to blow up the garage dons got a bit mad as their crowds started to move over to the new ting, like Wiley told you on "wot do u call it" One of the greatest times in my life was when you used to get these early Sidewinder sets on cassette tape, as guys like Dizzee and Wiley got a bit of traction, they would often be on a show with Heartless and i cant ever forget probably the greatest example of this crossover period was probably about 2002 - 2005 and one of the best sets of all time for me personally = Dj Slimzee Dizzee Rascal Wiley Sidewinder 2003
Only one really doing usa collabs lately is giggs he killing it at the moment....Sn1 is giggs crew,spare no 1 ..Hollywood buck is giggs manager big in the game.. actor director was rapper hard too..these are most if the Og's...all from early when dave fredo was in primary school...
Yea we need more of us working with yall. Like I dont get why Kendrick and Ghetts have yet to do a song most likely will never happen but just makes me think like why. Bless for the gems too.
That's dope I didn't know Buck I needed that answer. SN1 is such a good name. Bless again for the dope comments and checking this video out. I really though the time would run folks off.
@@Jurnalist_ If you get the chance watch a video on the Peckham vs Brixton beef. It'll give you a lil more info about SN1 and the beef between these two areas.
D Double E & Footsie, forgot the third man but there is three of them an they’re called Newham Generals because they are from Forest Gate which is in Newham borough which is near Stratford or West Ham.
If you're interested in bashment and the influences it had on grime you should watch the old school sting clashes from the 90s that I believe strongly influenced our clashing/reload culture and early grime. Ninja man vs Shabba Ranks, Beenie man vs Bounty Killa, Mavado vs Vybz Cartel, all bangers.
that free style from chip was off the top chip is very well know to be fast and to never run out of bars , if u look at the battle with him and stormzy he was make a new song and video in under 24 hours i think he sent a 4 track in total and destroyed him stormzy would only replay sublimely
yeah mister jam is just picking records...the ghetts sixty minutes is crazy because sometimes he doesnt even remember the lyrics to the song thats playing and still does something mad
No hate, what I think you Americans are seeing is UK mans have found what they can do rather than taking the love for US rap etc and tryna “mimic” it. It was all love but we’ve got talent without needing to kinda dumb it down anymore. Again, no hate
If you wanna react to some older grime stuff I recommend dizzee rascal sidewinder, dizzee rascal vs crazy titch and other various pirate radio sets available on yt
Already on that path but keep them coming here's my tich videos. Story: studio.ruclips.net/user/videojmEHKONvVx4/edit Titch V Dizzee: ruclips.net/video/a3p2vs9wGew/видео.html
I've not heard Scorcher rap well enough to send for this man it better be fire this is a crazy set of words you sent me today. I cant believe he sent for my don.
@@mrisht2308 I need to hear dappy first cause why did he start this with a guy I currently don’t think musically could hang with him. I gotta hear this. I’ll check that Westwood session too.
This will be a new look for the channel. I pulled this up I will see how this goes but thank you for the suggestion this was a different idea I like it.
Very true. But as American this likely hood to my perception is low so I gotta ask as we don’t have such cultural overlap with whites in America. It’s generally or always appropriation of the culture for financial gain never a true love or brotherhood of the minority culture they seek to take. Thus why when I see my boy it just put me off. I’m still trying to get my head around the fact that classism is the ism that rocks the cradle in the uk unlike in America where I would say racism is the ism that rocks the cradle here
Jurnalist - Yeah I hear you & your right Over here it’s class system over race. Working class areas/low income areas are very multicultural. Family’s from every race you can think of live & grow up together. Yeah there’s still a couple dumb racist people here n there in them community’s but it’s usually in the middle class & upper class where you find the ‘snobs’ as we call them. Posh people who look down on everyone else lol
He’s half Palestinian and half Iranian so he’s not white or Caribbean. Its a influence ting he would of grown up with Caribbean influence cause its massively ingrained in the UK specially in London so he would of adopted it from a young probably school days. Then by the type he started making music and being in a music crew it likely only made sense for it to come out in the music
@@Jacoc323 big up for this one too my g that’s great insight. You’re totally right if it’s what he’s known and grew with with impossible for his music not to sound like it or him to be good at it and to be able to make it like any other person who grew up in the format.
D Double E is the bridge between Garage & Grime. That’s why we all look up to man, elder statesman for the scene & culture. Almost everyone I know, grew up on soul & reggae
You have to live in a certain area or have parents with a Caribbean or African background or a parent with musical taste to get that music as a backdrop over here.

I can't imagine needing to edit for radio I'm cussing tonight yall paying these fines I tell you what lol.
Feelin' myself is a 100 times better live but that beat is also a 100 times better than blow my trumpet.
Okay, I didn't know they were like trademark adlibs and such that's dope a real storied career that D Double E guy. I will learn it.
Yea that Jay Z Nas comparison I felt was apt as they feel like that level just the UK versions when talking music.
That kano I was putting in work on the roof back then wit a few mandem section is my fav part of Deja until ghetts and him trade then that Repercussions Steven I'm trying to even something section is just like jeez.
I need to get out more Peshwari is news to me.
Now only hearing the live version when I hear references to Ps and Qs I now know the relevance so it makes the bars harder. I heard Mitch had one in this video I watched from No Jumper and was like OOOOO I know that reference lol.
Yea that Bashment garage and dancehall era I have no frame of reference I'm just like who are these dons and why such reverence it all makes sense now.
Dope comment as always a pleasure.
The length of time is just like idk but the response shows I was worried about the wrong stuff again. Just like doing these reviews I put it off for so long to now see how well its started makes me kick myself I should've been doing this. thank you again.
Okay I didn't know Riskys name was Rooney but now I'm gonna be saying this bar with even more Chest lol.
yea artist and you and a few others really give m that deeper context with accurate information always dope reading your guys comments.
Omg I remember his beat up green Honda he had that that car for time good that’s like 15yrs ago when he used to go around MS1 house In Leyton.
The beat at 33.00 is The Streets more a garage beat, should check them out one day they were some of the first to break through more mainstream along with Dizzee Rascal who is an OG grime artist and if you are interested in going back in the day Roots Manuva has been doing the hip-hop thing since the 80's.
What song should I check from Manuva a nd the Streets? I for sure want to go deep into the files.
@@Jurnalist_ For Roots Manuva I'd check 'Strange Behaviour', 'Movements', 'Juggle tings proper' or frankly anything of the album 'Brand New Second Hand' from 1999.
@@Jurnalist_anything from original pirate material from the streets. They’re legends. As a side note , Mike skinner the vocals from the streets is in Kano ps and qs video, the white guy in the long coat 😅
Damn you a real one for reacting to this, subbed just off you investing time into this alone
Bless my g. More of these and grime sets and more Uk music and that coming up. Thanks for joining the ride. 🫡🤝🏾
@@Jurnalist_ I no doubt got some content to catch up on but yeah good reaction was a good introduction to you and what you know of UK scene and culture around it
@@Jacoc323 o yea definitely have some content for you to get lost in.
Check the playlist. They are in order of the journey through the Uk music if you want a more concise viewing of my learning and journey through the scene. Again thank you for even checking the content.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Reaction again my G!
Since I'm here...Kano Teardrops Rated awards. Kano SYM LIVE with jools Holland. 😎❤️💛💚🖤🇯🇲✊🏿
Bless for stopping by again.
All of these are already requested and on the way.
Heartless crew was garage they spit on garage which then went into grime, Heartless, Pay As You Go & So Solid Crew is kinda where grime came from.
Beat at 1:04:12 is 'DJ Wonder - What'
I prefer DJ Wonder - What (Lewi White Remix), It is pure filth.
Every time I hear that beat I hear skepta voice like its a crazy marriage of flow and voice on that beat.
You are right though that lewi white remix is crazy.
@@Jurnalist_ Jammer and Mak 10 (one of the original DJs from pirate radio days) did a DJ set on Mode London (a radio station) recently. Set was just a load of old school instrumentals and a vocals. Mak 10 drops the Lewi White remix at 37:00. Sounds a lot better and deeper than that vinyl rip up on youtube.
Search for 'Mode London | Mak 10 B2B Jammer' if you want to check it out (not for a reaction though). I don't think the version on youtube does it justice.
That really fast tune is
Shy fx ft. kano - raver
Right from the drum and bass archives, a whole other genre. Not see a US reactor that can get their head around d&b yet
Lets see if its any good. I like that p money buss the red record.
D Double E 🐐
Like when I look back on my initial take on Kano Ill look back and be like damn how did I not see it with D.
The Streets - Original Pirate Material.
You also need to react to more JME who is Skeptas brother, also did you know Jammer & Skepta was never ever MCs they was Instrumental Beat makers but then also started spitting on there beats look where they’re now man.
Heartless crew (mighty moe and bushkin) were instrumental in Garage turning into grime. This is what was bubbling when Wiley and that gen came up with the style. The battles with Pay as you go were legendary. Most of the early bars the original grime heads would have been writing were written to go over garage beats at a time when there were no grime instrumentals. This is why garage is one of the main influences of grime and the genre it most closely resembles. These times D Double E was a drum n bass DJ and JME was too young to get into any of the raves. When grime started to blow up the garage dons got a bit mad as their crowds started to move over to the new ting, like Wiley told you on "wot do u call it"
One of the greatest times in my life was when you used to get these early Sidewinder sets on cassette tape, as guys like Dizzee and Wiley got a bit of traction, they would often be on a show with Heartless and i cant ever forget probably the greatest example of this crossover period was probably about 2002 - 2005 and one of the best sets of all time for me personally = Dj Slimzee Dizzee Rascal Wiley Sidewinder 2003
Great set, nice one for doing the whole thing 💯
Had to do it only way to get out what I needed.
Sn1 is Giggs old Peckham gang, spare no one
I really like this name like the ZT from Top Boy lol. Thank you I really have been wondering.
Badmon energy for the label name only fire comes from here is the goal.
@@Jurnalist_ you should check out Giggs old stuff from when he was in sn1 like pain is the essence
@@mananzi9907 👍and Soldier Riddim or Giggs and Blade- Sink A Boat
New banger new banger and u need to do p&qs 1 of kano first songs xxxx
Already done. Just search Kano on my channel we have loads from bro even nite nite
Only one really doing usa collabs lately is giggs he killing it at the moment....Sn1 is giggs crew,spare no 1 ..Hollywood buck is giggs manager big in the game.. actor director was rapper hard too..these are most if the Og's...all from early when dave fredo was in primary school...
Yea we need more of us working with yall. Like I dont get why Kendrick and Ghetts have yet to do a song most likely will never happen but just makes me think like why.
Bless for the gems too.
@@Jurnalist_ cause they think we nor bout that,we need more people like u to spread the sounds...👊🏽💯
SN1 is Giggs's gang, stands for Spare No 1. Buck is Giggs's manager.... He was the one that inspired Giggs to start rapping.
That's dope I didn't know Buck I needed that answer.
SN1 is such a good name.
Bless again for the dope comments and checking this video out.
I really though the time would run folks off.
@@Jurnalist_ If you get the chance watch a video on the Peckham vs Brixton beef. It'll give you a lil more info about SN1 and the beef between these two areas.
@@wtfulookinat traplore Ross got a video on them or any channels you suggest?
@@Jurnalist_ I think Kid Nerd. he breaks down a lot of the gang politics
Hermit road where the barbers is, shout out to stirling barbers
The beat you wanted to know chip and Double were spitting on was a track called Has it come to this? By The Streets Absolute UK Classic
Gonna do the comparison between the original and the chip double e record coming soon bless.
@@Jurnalist_ yes my bro 🙏
Good video to new banger
i might do a new banger video review.
Sn1 - Spare no 1 that’s giggs crew.. Hollywood buck is his manager and also his friend from street days
Bless for the gems. I heard hollyoood is who got him into rapping.
D Double E & Footsie, forgot the third man but there is three of them an they’re called Newham Generals because they are from Forest Gate which is in Newham borough which is near Stratford or West Ham.
I believe chips wheel up bars were from a Halloween freestyle I think it’s called on RUclips something like that, the energy in the uideo is mad
Feeling myself!
Thank you for joining me. I'm looking for Reece comp right now.
Lets see if we find it on this journey.
I like that the sound quality is good and not like some that are on RUclips
Quality Audio is the basis. Always growing to fix it and get better audio for you guys.
If you're interested in bashment and the influences it had on grime you should watch the old school sting clashes from the 90s that I believe strongly influenced our clashing/reload culture and early grime. Ninja man vs Shabba Ranks, Beenie man vs Bounty Killa, Mavado vs Vybz Cartel, all bangers.
Who's gonna listen to this you ask?...Only over 4k ppl right now! Sorry to be so slow. This was great watching along with you :)
This has made my day. I was so worried about who would want this or watch that. You guys showed up and I truly appreciate every one of you. 🤝🏾🥹🙏🏾
I'm looking forward to the rest! This is cultural exchange at it's best right here.
That’s not me, Skepta All star remix
coming up.
that free style from chip was off the top chip is very well know to be fast and to never run out of bars , if u look at the battle with him and stormzy he was make a new song and video in under 24 hours i think he sent a 4 track in total and destroyed him stormzy would only replay sublimely
Nah it ain't bro it's from school of grime the streets remix with d double and jammer...
Kano the goat in uk
No word of a lie I’m the truth right now. I was the truth back then.
yeah mister jam is just picking records...the ghetts sixty minutes is crazy because sometimes he doesnt even remember the lyrics to the song thats playing and still does something mad
That's mental. jam doesn't tell man before its blind on the artist part?
The Ghetts one is on the way now.
School of grime chip d double and jammer is what your looking for
Yea that’s a chune now after all this time of research.
I even flipped d double and chips bars from it for bars on adamantium rage. 😂
@@Jurnalist_ you heard of the movement??
big up g, you should watch some sets on pyro or rinse for some deeper grime, no censoring or self edits on those stations too
Chip x Redrat - My girl. Your love it truss
You got my faith dont los it with a bad chune now.
I got this loaded up it better ring off.
@@Jurnalist_ pressure 🤣
@@stefan42089 heavy pressure. I’ll give you unlimited chances if the music suggested is of quality. If not we need to fix those ears😂😂
@@Jurnalist_ just want to put out there this is not my request 👀🤣
Pashwari is like Indian nam bread.
It took me a couple of days to get through this 😂
Ty for getting through it with me 🙏🏾🙏🏾
SN1 stands for spear no one!
Bless I always wondered.
No hate, what I think you Americans are seeing is UK mans have found what they can do rather than taking the love for US rap etc and tryna “mimic” it. It was all love but we’ve got talent without needing to kinda dumb it down anymore. Again, no hate
1:19:58 - Kano shy fx - raver
On the list. Thank you for the suggestion my g.
If you wanna react to some older grime stuff I recommend dizzee rascal sidewinder, dizzee rascal vs crazy titch and other various pirate radio sets available on yt

Scorcher - dappy diss
I've not heard Scorcher rap well enough to send for this man it better be fire this is a crazy set of words you sent me today.
I cant believe he sent for my don.
@@Jurnalist_ Lool bro dappy sent for scorcher first, he dissed him. Scorcher is a legend! You should do ghetts scorcher wretch westwood freestyle
@@mrisht2308 I need to hear dappy first cause why did he start this with a guy I currently don’t think musically could hang with him. I gotta hear this. I’ll check that Westwood session too.
D Double - OG jungle MC first. Badda man

This will be a new look for the channel.
I pulled this up I will see how this goes but thank you for the suggestion this was a different idea I like it.
Bro even tho the dudes white he could still be Caribbean/African
Very true. But as American this likely hood to my perception is low so I gotta ask as we don’t have such cultural overlap with whites in America. It’s generally or always appropriation of the culture for financial gain never a true love or brotherhood of the minority culture they seek to take. Thus why when I see my boy it just put me off. I’m still trying to get my head around the fact that classism is the ism that rocks the cradle in the uk unlike in America where I would say racism is the ism that rocks the cradle here
Jurnalist - Yeah I hear you & your right Over here it’s class system over race. Working class areas/low income areas are very multicultural. Family’s from every race you can think of live & grow up together. Yeah there’s still a couple dumb racist people here n there in them community’s but it’s usually in the middle class & upper class where you find the ‘snobs’ as we call them. Posh people who look down on everyone else lol
He’s half Palestinian and half Iranian so he’s not white or Caribbean. Its a influence ting he would of grown up with Caribbean influence cause its massively ingrained in the UK specially in London so he would of adopted it from a young probably school days. Then by the type he started making music and being in a music crew it likely only made sense for it to come out in the music
@@YouITune great comment my g. It took me bare time to double back to it but I had no idea you responded 🤦🏾♂️ yt is shite for response notifications.
@@Jacoc323 big up for this one too my g that’s great insight. You’re totally right if it’s what he’s known and grew with with impossible for his music not to sound like it or him to be good at it and to be able to make it like any other person who grew up in the format.
