YO YEAH LIGHT THE BIFTA
Already lit 👌🏿
An absolute classic line. The time when we all had to hide our sisters and live in fear of Little T one day attempting to.... (yeah I won't say it lol)
@@JHak909Little Sister
No one finish the line
I'M GONNA
WillNE and Memeulous are sobbing watching this video.
This is honestly really nostalgic for me. 2016/17 were my year 11 days back in school and were the best years of my life
@@SB-ew3bksmae here man, take me back to 2016 man. Only time in life where I enjoyed school.
00:21 "And put Blackpool on the map" He says, as he puts the pin on the wrong part of the map
Tbf Ulverston and Barrow are shitholes too.
‘Look at your makeup, look at your clothes, by the way you’ve got a big nose’ - that bar with Little T stayed with me all these years idk why
Absolutely genius lyrics. Right up there with vintage beatles IMO.
@@bobbypukes605 Genius if you are 9 years old mebbe
Think Bob Dylan once said that was the one lyric he wishes he had written
If BGMedia didn’t become a viral meme WillNe and Memeulous would have most likely never had successful RUclips careers
I think it was the first memeulous video I saw.
Erm, they Still didn't have "successful youtube careers" mate as far as I know. I could be wrong but let's be honest if I am wrong - no one is gonna care either way, their 3.2 minutes of fame is over now. It is what it is like! Peace ✌🏼
I've not heard of willne but memeulous has 4.5 million subs and 1.2 billion views on youtube. I don't watch him myself these days but that is successful.
@@bishyeahbish3758 Well, they both have millions of subscribers and still do RUclips as a job to this day. I doubt that would be the case if they never covered BGMedia and found an audience.
@@bishyeahbish3758yeah you’re wrong mate, WillNE’s get millions of views per video on his main channel
BGM is not just something that was iconic in 2016 but it also creates some fucking great youtubers. the NOSTALGIA is unreal.
Thanks Fat Member. Afghan Dan what a piss poor contributor to society.
@@mogadon7 tbh even though afghan dan was decent as a musician, he was a terrible person and had no morals. tbh though I doubt blackpool has person to person contact let alone a society.
@@ALLIEDRECORDSah mate there’s definitely person to person interactions, they’re just more like little wars than interactions. There’s always a fight between the benefits Donnys 😂
“Put Blackpool on the map” proceeds to drop ping on Barrow 🤣🤣
I don't know which town I'd like to visit less 😅
If you were a teen at the time you just knew about these people. Man what a time to be alive in this internet phenomenon.
FR💯🙏
What’s even better is living in Blackpool while witnessing this war 😂
The song isn’t called ‘m to the b’ it’s called ‘Sophie Aspin send’
I think it was originally but she changed it.
@@TrollLol-sg3so I may have misheard. I thought when he first mentioned Millie B he said the song was called ‘m to the b’. Then he mentioned the song gaining popularity which was when it was renamed.
Nah the real tune is by boredom beats
@@MR.TwifterZ the beat is
Embarrassing you're all discussing it tbh 😂
“Get a bunch of 13-year-olds and afghan dan and start lyrical beef”is a pretty crazy sentence
Funny story about Afghan Dan in 2018 when I was 19 I got a text from my mam saying "Do you know who Afghan Dan is ?" I replied yeah why she said he was doing charity work in the Marks and Spencer store we both worked in, Just did not expect my mam to text me about him proper bizarre my younger brother got a photo with him sound bloke hahaha :D
thats cool
He in prison for house robberies now! 😂😂 yh sound guy 😂😂
@@germalean88g77 He is a sound guy, anyone with personal interaction knows that, they don't know what he's been through
@@germalean88g77 Not only that, but he was stealing from poor houses. Shitting on his own doorstep smh
Stealing from peoples house isnt kool
Sure we need a video on old Callum from the corner, he’s still a legend
"My head doesn't look like a tictac!!"😭
Ayyup it's Callums Corner
Afghan Dan needs to return and put Tic Tac head back in his box again.
Afghan Dan vs Calums Corner might just be the funniest Internet beef of all time
This video is really well made. We worked with Afghan Dan in 2021, cool little freestyle. But it's quite sad how his life is turning out. His behaviour was quite questionable with us even. But seeing his living conditions was a shock after thinking initially he would be better off than us even with his history of going viral. I hope he sets himself straight.
Can you elabourate?
@@mzamethodman7134 Mainly just the demand for extra money to promote things. We'd always get messages like "for an extra XX, I'll do XYZ" and it was usually something we kind of expected initially.
What a time to be alive. Just finished my GCSE's, my team had just won the prem at 5000-1, the Euros were on... annnnd BG-fucking-media fellas!! This is why I love Phat memer. Very nostalgic content 😂
How's the championship?
@@BuckledFrame2187 easier than I was expecting
@@kierandoodykd I miss the championship. Now I have to deal with the conference
The callums corner crossover during this is personally the peak of bgm imo
I think that is what made callums corner the Chanel it is today, without bgmedia and WillinE callums corner wouldn't be as big as he is today
Tic Tac better get back in his box.
Little T was just 12 years old when this all was happening… so now you’re telling me that he’s now an adult????? Time really doing quick
FR
Afghan Dan actually had some talent tbh
His life seems to be a shambles though, which is sad.
Afghan Dan was mad talented, he wasted it
Nah he was definitely more talented robbing people
How
@bb-me9in he's in jail for burglary and fraud...also he was not talented.
I wouldn't say he was mad talented but he certainly shined the brightest of all the BGMedia turds. I did unironically like a handful of his tracks back then.
Around this time I was Josh's teacher. Really nice kid tbf and had bars so always wanted him to do well
U wasn’t at my school with him …. Ur American anyway lool
@@blaineherrington1393 Blaine it's Mr Shields you doughnut, I worked at Pegasus with all you lil' youts 👍😁
thank the hell someone is making a video in this style about BGMedia!
timeline research is spot on 💯
🐐
@@phatmemer69apart from trying to find Blackpool on a map…
Tic tac business will always be a classic
That short period when the “Sofia Aspin Send” clip resurfaced from TikTok was weirdly nostalgic for me, since I’d watched Memeulous’s videos on BGM when I was a kid.
Let’s just be grateful is wasn’t Road Rage that resurfaced 🤣
BGM was so funny when they were sending for eachother
I remember watching WillNE and Memeulous taking the absolute piss out of them meanwhile my little brother was singing along about raping someone's sister.
BGM was top tier comedy
Yo yeah start the bifta
I’m gonna…
This is such random timing, ive very recently started watching willne and memeulous again
Mannnnn I’ve been waiting for the video for fucking agessss
There’s so many videos about the same rappers or viral commentary nonsense, this was really refreshing to see
I haven't physically cringed whilst watching a video for years, but this one fully got a hold of me. I would officially like to thank the lord for the fact that I didn't turn out to be confused about things and wanting to show that confusion to the whole world without benefitting a penny. The wackness is real folks.
What?
@@maybefaith23 Just another pleb spouting his chimp IQ opinion.
Huh??
BGmedia was highlight of RUclips back in the day personally
A dark chapter in Britain's cultural history that must never be re-opened.
I still remember logging onto instagram
And seeing that little T Bifta video everywhere. Miss those days man
Big up Afghan Dan every time. The only decent and serious on of the lot
For burgalry and fraud.. yeah he's a very serious and decent man.. LOL
@@Killary-Klinton He means the only decent rapper of the lot
he's the biggest joke out of em all
Needed this
Love this Chanel
Quality videos 🔥
0:19 "how did they put blackpool on the map?" *proceeds to put blackpool in the wrong place on the map*
Think they placed the pin over Barrow 😂
You just had to be there! Legendary business
great video. I miss the good BGmedia without little t and afghan Dan fighting and beefing
I wouldn't be working in the RUclips space if it wasn't for BGM haha, crazy times - great vid
hahaha we thank BGMedia for bringing your contributions to the platform bro
Another multiverse. The cal the dragon one still on another level tho 😝
omg dude! that's a blast from the past
This thumb nail tops any other, so suiting to them
The "meet me at McDonald's" haircut 😂
"Jack Wilkenson on the cam"🤣🤣
miss this era badly lol
soph aspin and alex aspin using my beat is still my biggest flex
Funnily enough I'm in Blackpool now. Old, so didn't know about this shizzle, lol.
the image on the right at 1:12, the group of lads is wild to see. the guy on the far left of the group was in my year at highschool and its crazy to see that image all over the internet
"Yes, a BG Media kid has had a baby" I'm surprised they hadn't had a baby at the time the original videos were made.
Madness looking back to when we was kids I was mates with Shelton who's been on BG media more than a few times he moved to my school in Manny so ended up getting to know them all in Bpool before they went viral I'd met Afghan, Dyl B, Connor T and spoke to Soph through mutual friends even a lad from my school ended up on BGM younganz fusion and he smashed Connor T on a clash at an event got a decent amount of views up on here it's been a long time since those days now
"Eyy up and welcome to my first call out video challenge" - Callum's corner
that was brilliant
Has no one questioned why afghan Dans mates are over a decade younger than him
They're not his mates. Conor thomas, Danny Thomas, mc smally are his mates
Probably a paedo
For those who haven't been to Blackpool, it's pretty much a cesspit
TicTc Business will forever be the best upload on BGM
I love how the map pin at the start is nowhere near Blackpool, but is at Barrow-in-Furness.
what we needed
0:25 J to the M to the E
He makes GR I M to the E
Never heard of any of these before this video and I wish I still hadn't.
I was close friends with millie b she went to my high school I was 15 and she was 13 when we met, this was back in 2012, I left high school in 2013 and a few years later millie b was on bgmedia, me and my sister was laughing.
You've done well to make me cringe here, you saying "locked up in pen" really topped it off.
I remember hearing little t on a speaker on the scholars like it was yesterday 😂😭 what a time man
I will never forget Little T vs Soph Aspin. Blackpool 2016
"Am outside preston crown court" omg that guy
Sophies career moved mad, from spitting bars on BGM to giving birth to now dropping head on OF, wild world we live in.
Afghan Dan is actually a good lad. I had a few interactions with him on IG and have nothing but nice things to say about him! Shoutout Afghan Dan, his Road Rage for JDZMedia was FIRE.
Yet he committed assault, burglary and robbery. He ain't a nice person
Those prison bars by Afghan Dan was Absolute fire
Callums Corner did get wrecked by Tic Tac Business tbf
I've never heard of any of these people, but they definitely made me laugh 🤣
Wow Our culture is a joke to you big man 🔪🔪🔪
BGM was the birth willNE and memeulous take me back to 2016
@phatmemer you put Blackpool in the wrong place @ 0:21 thats Morecambe
It's basically all the same up north innit ;)
Callum is still crying to this day about Afghan Dan's send, he sobs every time it's donated on stream
Big up Jack Wilkinson on the cam
Shout out all involved.
Peak internet right here
Aspin now has an OF so you know the desperations kicked in
holy shit
peak youtube
always wanted a BGMEDIA vs kersal massive and ginger joe
"Put Blackpool on the map" points at barrow wounded
7 years man mad
Yo yeah like the bifter
Big up jack wilkinson on the cam
Blackpool mentioned 😁😁
6:25 bro really said he done so many robberies that night he knew he was caught 🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣 💀💀💀💀
That Afghan Dan is too much 😂😂😂👋👋😁😂
Glad all this passed me by. My word the gringe.
Bro i thought this was sunnyv2 making a video about bgm LMAO
Tic tac get back in ya box
Wow 3 bags for 3yrs ?, man you got boopz'd !!
Now Sophie aspin does only fans lmaoo
Best content she’s released lol
Ironically you talk about them "putting Blackpool on the map" but then proceed to put your map marker for Blackpool in the wrong place
big up Jack Wilkinson on the cam
BGM brilliant memes for the time period
That’s not even bpool in the map, that’s barrow 😂
That wasnt Dan or Little T in the vid lol
Never been so proud to be from Blackpool since 2016 😂
Willne and memeulous prime
