His album 'The defamation of Strickland banks' is a top 3 album of all time. Of any genre. Very few albums tell such a good story from start to finish. Perfection.
100% Plan B is ill, loved him for a long time, so talented, and no surprise he is an influence of Ren's. I love 'Sick To Def', one of my favourite Plan B tracks
im here in 2023 been a plan b fan since early day shame pop culture and main stream killed his music if you listen to end in the streets he was the perfect uk grime artists
by the way at the start he mentions Chavs, which is basically an insult used to describe people in council housing, C council H housed A and V violent, then mentions give them a hug referring to David Cameron (an ex prime minister) who made a big deal about hugging a guy in a hoodie and trackies to try to seem like he cared
@@bimwho councin housed and violent was always what chav stood for, in this context. Before that, the older generations called young kids chavvies, but that was different, that was just their slang for kids lol.
'No such thing as broken Britain, what needs fixing is the system not shop windows down im Brixton, riots on the television you cant put us all in prison'
A lot of that footage was the hackney riots which they took the piss out of with people carrying TVs and stuff, Riz Ahmed is in the video which is crazy cool, BAFTA nominated actor.
Ben 'Plan B' Drew is a rapper, singer, musician, actor, and film maker. Ill Manors is one of the movies that he made. Very good. Please listen to his brilliant album, 'The Defamation Of Strickland Banks' from start to finish. It's one long story.
my parents bettered themselves, they where from council estates and worked hard and escaped the hellhole of council estates. and gave me the best life they could
The UK scene is dope! If you are looking to expand your musical horizons, check out... Lady Leshurr- D.I.V. or Black Panther (on of the best female artists anywhere in any genre) Remtrex - Elite Sessions (realest freestyle ever) Aitch - Taste (more popular, but still solid) Thanks for doing your thing, man. Keep the content coming!
Ben Drew is such a talent, all his music videos are either gang related, or in prison and then he made a movie called the sweeney and he was a cop in it, his acting was so good
The beat for this is lifted directly from Alles Neu by the German artist Peter Fox. It's very different and well worth a listen in its own right. Plan B is amazing though. Defamation... is one of the greatest albums of this century.
And your reaction was dope! The reason I think some Brits love watching American reactions is that they are so unprejudiced and authentic that they help us see and understand our own culture more clearly, which in a way you can only do when you approach it afresh. It's very interesting and satisfying to watch your reactions to this one because everything in the video communicates to you more powerfully then it does to a native Britain, and it brings our true response out and helps us appreciate the song and video all that more. Thank you for sparing the time to do this.
as of now in the uk the knife violence pandemic has gone down in london but in city's like birmingham, they are seeing murder rates that soar over alot of major us cities with guns so theres definitely room for improvement in the uk
Few bits you missed. David Camron labeled the poor people in Britain "broken Britain", anyone who grow up poor took insult to this. Chav's was a label we got in the media for how we dressed/behaved which stood for Council Housed And Violent. Also most of the clips from this video are real footage from the Brixton riots.
Not the Brixton riots. These riots happened all over London and started in Tottenham, other side of London to Brixton. Brixton riots was a couple decades ago, but yeah, a lot of this is real footage
Please do more plan b. One of my favourite groups and I think you’ll really enjoy them cliff Do she said next it’s probably one of the most well know ones
@CliffBeatsOfficial - I've watched this reaction a few times, and I so wish you would do some other tracks from this amazing album. @renmakesmusic name checks Plan B for a reason. Checkout Deepest Shame, Falling Down, Playing With Fire. It's a deeply difficult and eye-opening film
check out "lost my way remix feat raikwon" not plan b's finest work but shows how good US rappers can sound on a UK beat, If they are a GOAT of course.
Love your vids man, can you do a reaction to Frightened Rabbit? They are a Scottish band & lyrically Scott Hutchison was phenomenal. He sadly took his own life a few years back & I think they deserve more recognition than they ever got. Modern Leper, poke, I wish I was sober, a painting of a panic attack. These are all great. Midnight organ fight is also a great album.
Wtf only a few hundred likes and thousands of views. This shit is lit, check out more plan b, dude can sing as well as spit, also now acting as well. Keep up the good content Cliff
The man in the suit that punches the protester, after being hit with an egg was the British deputy prime minister, John Prescott (Think Vice President). Glad you liked Plan B now why not try some Scottish rap! ruclips.net/video/OmMV9tnTLIA/видео.html
UK terms. CHAV council housed and violent. NED non educated delinquent. Basically derogatory terms for poorer class. Cliff, had you managed to catch The Streets ?

End credits with him and chase n status is amazing 👏
In the US they don’t show anything other than American news, here in the UK we see news from all over the world
Because nothing happens in our country that's worth being on the news lol
@@alexh7140 you obviously live in South Hampton or some where the likes lol
@@leviking4891 nowhere near 😂.
@@leviking4891 Ye you are talking shit lol. Why would a stabbing of a teen be on any news in any other country lol
Only what they want you to see. I’ve started to watch world news online and see so much more!

👏👏👏✌💟🇬🇧
ill manor’s was hard as well
100% Plan B is ill, loved him for a long time, so talented, and no surprise he is an influence of Ren's. I love 'Sick To Def', one of my favourite Plan B tracks
facts
and Ill Manors was a great film as well Plan B wrote that movie xx
this is related to the london riots and also the gentrification of poorer neighbourhoods, really recommend looking into it
I'm enjoying watching an American react to UK Urban music.
This American enjoys all the music from the UK!! 🙏
@@CliffBeatsOfficial love that! The Grime scene is great especially away from the mainstream.
Plan B is a legend. Please look into the films and other albums he`s done. This isn`t a one-hit-kid. This guy is a genius. He`s our Zack de la Rocha
Plan B - Charmaine ( this is a uk classic )
Plan B - Suzanne (abit of a horror track)
Plan B - Kidz (absolute beast of a song)
early Plan B was amazing. He definitely needs to give it a go if he likes this
Suzanne is a awesome track
My favourite 3 too
Run of the mill stuff, here in the UK. We get inspiration from all over the world. With respect, the USA are to inward looking.
The Prodigy mix of this is brilliant.

Yes and no, that's a backronym that came out and had stuck since the song, the term chav has been around for years before.
@@bimwho councin housed and violent was always what chav stood for, in this context. Before that, the older generations called young kids chavvies, but that was different, that was just their slang for kids lol.
Plan B is a UK legend for what he done to the music scene, his also a producer and actor, check out his movie - I’ll Manors and Sweeney 🙏
Also he's one of the main characters in the film Harry brown if you haven't seen it I recommend it it's good
Him and lowkey speak the truth
not to mention underrated
@@medican86Harry brown is such an amazing film
The guy can sing as well, have a look at a complete contrast to this vid and check out Plan B- Prayin 🔥
One of my favourite plan b songs! So underated!
Recluse is Amazing too. The whole Strickland Banks album was insane
The complete Strickland Banks Album is amazing
Or “hey man”, that song is sick af bro 👍👍
'No such thing as broken Britain, what needs fixing is the system not shop windows down im Brixton, riots on the television you cant put us all in prison'
Always rings true,, still bloody broken!!
This song is from a movie wrote by Plan B, the movie is also called Ill Manors, I'm sure the soundtrack album went number on the charts
A lot of that footage was the hackney riots which they took the piss out of with people carrying TVs and stuff, Riz Ahmed is in the video which is crazy cool, BAFTA nominated actor.
Plan B - Love Goes Down.. You can see how fucking well the guy can sing
Pan b was top dog in his day his album's were and still are brilliant
As a flight attendant from London who spends a lot of time in the US I can tell you he understood 3% of what plan b said 😂 same language no clue
Old joke = America and England, two people seperated by a common language.
Nice breakdown. I love that you caught some schemes. As someone from England I can say this is the best reaction I've seen to this track. 1 love.
Ben 'Plan B' Drew is a rapper, singer, musician, actor, and film maker.
Ill Manors is one of the movies that he made. Very good.

Thanks for doing your thing, man. Keep the content coming!
Crazy watching this after knowing Plan B because of Ren.
Check out Plan B's concept album The deafamation of Strickland Banks. There is a narrative that runs through it. Brutal.
More plan b please!.... Praying...... Pieces...... She said....... Charmaine...... End credits...... Hes got some brilliant music!
Ill manors theres a movie by plan b aswell
I’m surprised you didn’t pick up that Plan B was the one referenced opposite to Eminem in ‘Hi Ren’ 🤷🏽♂️😉
Love your reaction to Plan B x
Council Housed And Violent is what it says just for those who are confused
Mad I'm back here 3yrs later seeing the same riots yet again but for different reasons.
Late to this party but "No more eatin" is top tier especially the black and white video while he plays the guitar
Alles nue by Peter fox is where that main samples come from for this track....brilliant film and brilliant album by Plan b
The movie of the same title is a good but difficult watch. Very raw.
Ben Drew is such a talent, all his music videos are either gang related, or in prison and then he made a movie called the sweeney and he was a cop in it, his acting was so good
Plan B talented as fuck
His stuff is awesome. Loved the vid. Subscribed!
Late to the party here but Plan B is amazing, his track In the Name of Man is a masterpiece to me.
You should check out the movie this is from it’s also called Ill manors the whole soundtrack is 🔥🔥🔥
Loved this band.
Hug a hoodie(another name for CHAV) was a half hearted policy of former prime minister David Cameron.
Listen to ill manors album then watch the film it shows the talent of plan b to its fullest the way the album correlates to the film is unreal
The beat for this is lifted directly from Alles Neu by the German artist Peter Fox. It's very different and well worth a listen in its own right. Plan B is amazing though. Defamation... is one of the greatest albums of this century.
Hey Cliff, now you can remember him from Hi Ren "played on guitar... Plan B did it!"
Watch Plan B explore these dynamics in the film Ill Manors and in the Michael Caine movie Harry Brown. See also Kidulthood movie.
Listen to Kano ‘got my brandy got my beats’ or The Streets - ‘lights are blinding my eyes’………both are amazing lyrically and musically
Yay covering a legend. And I love ill Manors and Who Needs Action When You Got Words. Inspiration for Ren. Pretty old now this track
I keep on forgetting just how damn good Plan B is!!!

If you like Plan B watch him in the film HARRY BROWN, awesome film!
You do know this is nearly 10 years old this tune ;)
He’s used actual news footage from the 2011 riots
He made banger after banger, then switched to Motown music, still good, but I missed this style
The DnB switch throughout just hits hard

The footage is from the London riots
@@SDXM-sk7di "what needs fixing is the system, not shop windows down in Brixton". But yeah the whole of London was effected pretty bad.
Yeah who broke Britain, the govs
Please do more plan b. One of my favourite groups and I think you’ll really enjoy them cliff
Do she said next it’s probably one of the most well know ones
Shout out to cliff goin back to the plan b days man 😂 what a guy got a new subscriber for that
Please do Playing with Fire
Four words "listen to Rhyme Asylum".
@CliffBeatsOfficial - I've watched this reaction a few times, and I so wish you would do some other tracks from this amazing album. @renmakesmusic name checks Plan B for a reason. Checkout Deepest Shame, Falling Down, Playing With Fire.
It's a deeply difficult and eye-opening film
Thanks
I'm from Blackpool and live in Manchester, the UK is fucked bring back the London riots 🙏 who closed down that community center ❤️
Bloody hell I’ve been sleeping on this dude. Sounds like he’s on a track to be up there with Mike Skinner and the streets.
Been, these tracks are pretty old now.
The whole album is brilliant
So this is the Plan B that inspired Ren. Nice.
Plans earlier releases like Sick to Def and who needs actions when you got words go even harder.
You named my favourite Plan B track...Sick To Def, brilliant
check out "lost my way remix feat raikwon" not plan b's finest work but shows how good US rappers can sound on a UK beat, If they are a GOAT of course.
❤
There’s a movie with this track / album; but good luck in finding a copy 5:58
Love Strickland banks listen to praying and she said
Watch the I’ll manor film great.. the album even better but you need to watch the film to understand the album
There's a movie called ill manors, well worth a watch
Do the us really not have council houses ?
They got projects over there
Love your vids man, can you do a reaction to Frightened Rabbit? They are a Scottish band & lyrically Scott Hutchison was phenomenal. He sadly took his own life a few years back & I think they deserve more recognition than they ever got. Modern Leper, poke, I wish I was sober, a painting of a panic attack. These are all great. Midnight organ fight is also a great album.
Yaaaay this just popped up for me 💖
You should watch the actual movie ill manors that he wrote and directed. He's a deep artist with a political view 🔥
Cilf you look soo young now😊
You've got to go through this album, he is such a great story teller. But before that you have to do Charmaine
Nah I'll manners the best album it details us in the u.k so much it might make us look bad but It's real music
Ends is mad
Good tune this, you should check out the prodigy remix, its a bit more aggressive
I hope you watched the film this track is from
Plan B - Charmaine .. . Do not research the song just go straight up and listen 👌🏽
Wretch 32 teachers training day
cliff beats do a reaction to jungle professor green love your reactions
Should really check out the U.K Grime/Drill scene
Watch the film to this video ill minors. It’s fantastic
Wtf only a few hundred likes and thousands of views. This shit is lit, check out more plan b, dude can sing as well as spit, also now acting as well. Keep up the good content Cliff
The man in the suit that punches the protester, after being hit with an egg was the British deputy prime minister, John Prescott (Think Vice President). Glad you liked Plan B now why not try some Scottish rap!

Us get us news uk gets everyones news but our own and when we do its not intresting
Found it! 🤣
Simply because you don't pay attention to news from around the world doesn't mean that news from around the world isn't available here in the US.
UK terms.
CHAV council housed and violent.
NED non educated delinquent.
Basically derogatory terms for poorer class.
Cliff, had you managed to catch The Streets ?
Bruv you need to hear Kidz by plan B
ruclips.net/video/9xY-9IiR8Lw/видео.html the film to go with the music, Ill Manors directed by plan b
