Most black people around the world knows more about America history,than black Americans,black Americans don't know nothing about other black people in the Carribbean or Africa or anywhere else in the world for that matter don't even know about their own they'll even struggle to name to name 10 of there own cities letdown!!
Jesus christ if i have to hear one more american black man talk about thomas sowell like hes some wise sage im gonna fricken scream! Thomas Sowell is a lying cherry picking nasty piece of work. google him. look at how other prominant black civil rights activists talk about him. hes a professor who talks very well and his voice has such gravitas that he seems so wise and clever. but hes actually the worst kind of person. hes spent 50 years telling young black americans that theres no such thing as racism and that its black peoples own fault that they are poor. as an educated english man, even i know this is bollocks. if your a black american, ask yourself have you ever expeirenced racism in your country?..... yes?... then thomas sowell is a liar isnt he. thomas sowell is very rich and he thinks anyone can just get rich if they want to. but they dont want to because of rap music and tattoos and what he calls "black culture". its ludicrous. its not black peoples fault that they found themselves as second class citizens in the 20th century. its very much white peoples fault. that is EXACTLY what akala is saying in his lyrics. Akala recomends reading X, Garvey, King, Ali, etc. Akala would never recomend a snake oil salesman like Sowell. "donald trump is a great man and will make a great president" thomas sowell 2016
Akala is not just a rapper, he is Activist, educator, poet, journalist, author, songwriter. He has been invited to Universities where he does lectures about black culture and our African heritage.
i think its about time you get on some uk rap, you should check Akala Fire in the booth part 4 Avelino ft Dave -Cassius Clay Fire in the booth - Avelino ft Wretch 32 Dave- Psycho
Akala has held lectures at Oxford and pretty sure he has his doctorate in history. One of the most knowledgable and enlightened MC's out there. Lowkey is as well.
Akala is a good friend of mine he is one of the greatest conscious rappers in the world very revolutionary and a very humble guy who’s extremely passionate about spreading knowledge
Terrible reaction. Kept mentioning kayne whos speaking shit for controversy and self-investment, never lived at the bottom, while akala is rapping from intellect and life experience.
I was expecting what was coming when I took a look at his other content but I was still shocked when he quoted Thomas Sowell in an Akala video, that's just wild.
Akala part 4 is an absolute master peice, all of his fire in booths are amazing but the 4th one hes way more polished and switches between soany flows and classic veats
Lowkey and Akala are the old school goats of u.k rap. This is 10+ years old. I highly recommend Akala F.I.T.B. part 4. Also Lowkey Obamanation. Both highly educated rappers, always spit truths, infact my Lowkey Obamanation i recommend was band in America. Thank you for a great reaction ❤
Your reactions and insights are amazing! Do part 4 its amazing you can see the progress in his craft, he does a spoken word piece at the end which is worth the watch alone! Do it!
Akala has been preaching this for decades, and thats why he's independent and always will be, no day time radio but thats not what matters. Like kanye now being called crazy etc in America,he's not but big cooperations and media dont want the truth they want bubblegum pop rap for the tiktok teens 💷 Like akala Ye is an absolute legend! Respect from the 🇬🇧 my guys 👊🏼
My guy Akala is the truth. But i Love the way you say we ain't all against each othsr...we are not...ws struggle together...we survive together. Don't let the 1% put us down ✌💯
Shout out to Black P. This was my request, my name is Ethan bro. I couldn't fit all that information into the Cash app at the time for whatever reason ! Welcome to the world of UK hip hop, plenty more where that comes from. You'll never look back
Akala has many speeches and also debates on RUclips which are well worth checking out. I think he also did Oxford Union here once, that’s a great watch. All the best from England 🏴
People have recommended his fire in the booth 4 which is unbelievable but 2 is my favourite, look at Dave, Ghetts, Wretch 32, Avelino, Lowkey, Meekz, all well worth checking out
Haiti outlawed slavery before Britain, and not only that, but the Haitian Revolution is the only known case where slaves overthrew and then became the government.
Guys. Now - Wretch 32 and Avelino - Fire in the booth. Same vibe! Facts! Subscribing and hoping for a reaction. I like that you don't interrupt too often too. Greetings from Spain.
I'd have been really interested to her what your guest had to say... a conversation is best when folk listen and respond, ya know... but kewl reaction Akala is like the godfather of UK conscious rap... rap is a US medium but it has influenced so many disenfranchised people around the world, most of whom are aware of world history (which includes that of the USA) Re: ending slavery - Africans, AfroBrits and freed people from the various americas built solidarity with 'white' Irish &British working class activists, feminists (before they were called that), religious/faith based campaigners and others in the UK to influence 'owners' & other politcal classes in the UK to make slavery technically illegal in the UK before other parts of the (ex)colonies. Those same owners/political classes however continued to profit from slavery in the americas throughout its existance and still profit from those structures to this day and the UK government continued to pay lost 'earnings' into C21st, reparations to slave owning families only ended in 2015.... so yeh and nah.
No britain didnt end slavery first. And honestly i think you guys have totally misunderstood what Akala is talking about. He's talking about the history because it is STILL relevant and these things are still happening. Slavery still occurs in private prisons. I think you guys could learn from reading his books.
I know part 4 is a masterpiece but the journey to get there is more important! Dont listen to those saying go straight to 4, you'll be missing out on a f load of knowledge!! Love from Scotland 🏴
If parts of history offend then that's a good thing. We are a lot less likely to repeat those things. Don't cancel it. Learn from it. Correct, the tax payers of England finished paying of the debt for abolishing slavery in 2014.
Pegasus! This is incredible. Please check out more Akala - He's a warrior poet. Lectures in university. Rapping is a medium for his message bro. All Love
Two very nice lady cops yesterday in the Netherlands, could have given me a ticket, but instead they gave me a ride because I was late for an appointment. 🙃
The lyrics and there meanings are studied in universities and Akarla speaks his truth to students in person. Akarla part 4(especially the spoken Rhymes will open your eyes as to how far hip hop can go.
Part 4 is the beast of fire in the booths you really need to check it out mahn big up much respect checking out uk grime/rap but it will take your mind on a journey 🏴🥃😎👍
Mos Def, Black Thought, Talib Kweli, KRS 1 all conscious rappers... But yeah, not a lot of it now... But there is in the UK, Dave, Wretch 32, Avelino, Akala.
Y’all should check out Akalas sister Ms Dynamite and her song it takes more she’s just as talented as her brother and this is a good song with a deep meaning
Great Britain was the first country to abolish slavery they made the rest of their allies agree to sign a treaty because they was the ones who ruled the sea’s at the time so it was beneficial for other country’s to agree because a lot of the trade routes was controlled by the British navy 🇬🇧 they was the most feared on the 7 sea’s and other countries wouldn’t be able to trade freely without any repercussions! Do some research it’s really interesting history to see how far we’ve come ✊🏽
It wasn't Britain that ended slavery first, it was England, which is part of the island of Great Britain. This was long before there was a United Kingdom, which is all of it apart from the Republic of Ireland. It was after the battle of Hastings in 1066 that the new English king, William the conqueror made slavery illegal in England.
Part 4 is a master piece!!! It would definitely be a great reaction
Most black people around the world knows more about America history,than black Americans,black Americans don't know nothing about other black people in the Carribbean or Africa or anywhere else in the world for that matter don't even know about their own they'll even struggle to name to name 10 of there own cities letdown!!
Hell yes it is, not only a rap but an education
But let the man enjoy the journey and the progression.
Jesus christ if i have to hear one more american black man talk about thomas sowell like hes some wise sage im gonna fricken scream!
Thomas Sowell is a lying cherry picking nasty piece of work.
google him.
look at how other prominant black civil rights activists talk about him.
hes a professor who talks very well and his voice has such gravitas that he seems so wise and clever.
but hes actually the worst kind of person.
hes spent 50 years telling young black americans that theres no such thing as racism and that its black peoples own fault that they are poor.
as an educated english man, even i know this is bollocks.
if your a black american, ask yourself have you ever expeirenced racism in your country?..... yes?... then thomas sowell is a liar isnt he.
thomas sowell is very rich and he thinks anyone can just get rich if they want to. but they dont want to because of rap music and tattoos and what he calls "black culture".
its ludicrous.
its not black peoples fault that they found themselves as second class citizens in the 20th century.
its very much white peoples fault.
that is EXACTLY what akala is saying in his lyrics.
Akala recomends reading X, Garvey, King, Ali, etc.
Akala would never recomend a snake oil salesman like Sowell.
"donald trump is a great man and will make a great president"
thomas sowell 2016
Akala is not just a rapper, he is Activist, educator, poet, journalist, author, songwriter. He has been invited to Universities where he does lectures about black culture and our African heritage.
And Shakespeare... He's a Double Doctorate & his Oxford Lecture is on RUclips... He did it in a hoodie because he ain't standing nonsense.
He's amazing. I love listening to him speaking, he's so articulate and eloquent
He's an incredible person
He carries Light
i think its about time you get on some uk rap, you should check
Akala Fire in the booth part 4
Avelino ft Dave -Cassius Clay
Fire in the booth - Avelino ft Wretch 32
Dave- Psycho
I agree with all of these.
Return of Lowkey needs to be added to this list
Anything Avelino.
Part 4. Best rapping you'll ever hear
Akala has held lectures at Oxford and pretty sure he has his doctorate in history. One of the most knowledgable and enlightened MC's out there. Lowkey is as well.
Akala is a good friend of mine he is one of the greatest conscious rappers in the world very revolutionary and a very humble guy who’s extremely passionate about spreading knowledge
His FITBs and DD are total flame. Can't wait to see them all on here. Hit the Mike Reckless FITBs too! Welcome back, homie!
Akala is a different breed, a mathematical genius, a scholar, teacher, Businessman and one of if not the most lyrically dangerous MC to ever live.
Great reaction. You should do the others especially part 4. Also Lowkeys FITBs are classics also.
Wretch-32 also
Terrible reaction. Kept mentioning kayne whos speaking shit for controversy and self-investment, never lived at the bottom, while akala is rapping from intellect and life experience.
I’ve never seen anyone twist akala’s bars into such blindly conservative points of views. It’s actually kinda talented how willfully blind BP can be.
my thoughts exactly
I don't know that it's wilful, I don't know much about him but it sounds like privilege to me.
I was expecting what was coming when I took a look at his other content but I was still shocked when he quoted Thomas Sowell in an Akala video, that's just wild.
Akala should be considered a national treasure
Fo sure…
But he won’t because he challenges the institutionalised establishment and they fear him, his knowledge and voice…
@@jimkhana007 facts
Akala part 4 is an absolute master peice, all of his fire in booths are amazing but the 4th one hes way more polished and switches between soany flows and classic veats
Akala-Find no enemy is a masterpiece! He’s amazing and it’s a deep song.
I always ask for this song nobody reacts its a great song man
@@alankeenan1454 I do too. It’s great!
Lowkey and Akala are the old school goats of u.k rap. This is 10+ years old. I highly recommend Akala F.I.T.B. part 4. Also Lowkey Obamanation. Both highly educated rappers, always spit truths, infact my Lowkey Obamanation i recommend was band in America. Thank you for a great reaction ❤
please do all 4 parts they are all amazing in there own right
I've been waiting for you to discover akala... he is a monster
Your reactions and insights are amazing! Do part 4 its amazing you can see the progress in his craft, he does a spoken word piece at the end which is worth the watch alone! Do it!
UK rabbit hole!!, dave, akala, wretch 32,avelino, love this
Akala is a legend, rapper, poet, mathematician, and playwright. His FITB are amazing..
Yes as people have said YOU MUST watch part 4 he's much wiser and part 4 is amazing
Love Akala (pronounced Ah-kayla), he's an amazing speaker - so articulate and eloquent, I could listen to him all day
Mic Righteous: fire in the booth: part 2, 3 and 4 is a must
Do part 4, it's one of the best things I've ever heard and I don't even like rap!
Akala has been preaching this for decades, and thats why he's independent and always will be, no day time radio but thats not what matters. Like kanye now being called crazy etc in America,he's not but big cooperations and media dont want the truth they want bubblegum pop rap for the tiktok teens 💷 Like akala Ye is an absolute legend! Respect from the 🇬🇧 my guys 👊🏼
Kanye is fucking mental though
Kanye put a bag on his head and said he loves Hitler lmfao, Akala and Kanye are pretty different and only one of them is deserving of respect.
Uk hip hop will surprise a lot of people.
In Britain Asians are referring to the subcontinent, not Chinese. Most corner shop in the UK are run by Indians, Pakistanis or Bangladeshis
Some other Akala stuff to check out. 'Yours and My Children'; 'Find no Enemy'; 'Carried Away'; 'Bullshit'; 'Murder Runs the Globe'.
Been waiting on this one, need to read his books. Watch Akala lecture in universities worldwide. The man is a genius
Part 1 is good. But so is Part 4. Akala is incredible and so underrated!! It feels like getting a lesson every time you listen to him.
Love Akala
Agree part 4 real hip hop social contious kick bk spreadin knowledge 🔥🔥🔥
Glad you watched this, IMHO one of the greatest raps EVER
Really enjoy your insight and reflections. Please in future bump it back 10 seconds when you restart it though
I love people reacting to akala for the first time ❤️
Akala has his own masters... never been on day time radio because of what he says
My guy Akala is the truth.
But i Love the way you say we ain't all against each othsr...we are not...ws struggle together...we survive together. Don't let the 1% put us down ✌💯
You need to do part 4 if you haven’t yet! That sh1t is fire 😊
Part 4 is a masterclass as much as a masterpiece
AKALA is a gift!
Akala is a national treasure

Guys. Now - Wretch 32 and Avelino - Fire in the booth. Same vibe! Facts! Subscribing and hoping for a reaction. I like that you don't interrupt too often too. Greetings from Spain.
Keep in mind this was 2011.
just listened to 'goin up' with you both on it. underrated tune
I'd have been really interested to her what your guest had to say... a conversation is best when folk listen and respond, ya know... but kewl reaction
Akala is like the godfather of UK conscious rap... rap is a US medium but it has influenced so many disenfranchised people around the world, most of whom are aware of world history (which includes that of the USA)
Re: ending slavery - Africans, AfroBrits and freed people from the various americas built solidarity with 'white' Irish &British working class activists, feminists (before they were called that), religious/faith based campaigners and others in the UK to influence 'owners' & other politcal classes in the UK to make slavery technically illegal in the UK before other parts of the (ex)colonies. Those same owners/political classes however continued to profit from slavery in the americas throughout its existance and still profit from those structures to this day and the UK government continued to pay lost 'earnings' into C21st, reparations to slave owning families only ended in 2015.... so yeh and nah.
"Ak-a-la" 🤣That made me laugh so hard man, I love mispronunciation. If it helps at all it's said 'A-Car-Lar'
5 months later I've just had a look for your reaction to part 4. Why did you not go all the way through?
20:38 our songs get played out there in Lebanon🥶❄️ Akala is definitely different
Do part 4 like lots have said its really is different and mesmerising 🔥
Really enjoyed the reaction! If you do Akala you should do Lowkey too. Peace from the Netherlands!
No britain didnt end slavery first. And honestly i think you guys have totally misunderstood what Akala is talking about. He's talking about the history because it is STILL relevant and these things are still happening. Slavery still occurs in private prisons. I think you guys could learn from reading his books.
So he’s not saying Britain was the first to end slavery. He’s saying the first people forced into slavery were the poor British. Around 13 minutes in.
I know part 4 is a masterpiece but the journey to get there is more important! Dont listen to those saying go straight to 4, you'll be missing out on a f load of knowledge!! Love from Scotland 🏴
We desperately need Akala part 4 reaction, Akala is way more polished and goes through so many beats, it's just a piece of art
He has a track called 'Find No Enemy' which fits exactly in with your final comment here about your enemy being yourself. Worth a listen!
If parts of history offend then that's a good thing. We are a lot less likely to repeat those things. Don't cancel it. Learn from it.
Correct, the tax payers of England finished paying of the debt for abolishing slavery in 2014.
Pegasus! This is incredible. Please check out more Akala - He's a warrior poet. Lectures in university. Rapping is a medium for his message bro. All Love
part 4 would be lit to watch you to react
Two very nice lady cops yesterday in the Netherlands, could have given me a ticket, but instead they gave me a ride because I was late for an appointment. 🙃
Part 4 is the one you want. It could be the best 10min of rapping I've heard in my 48yrs on this earth.
Is funny that the original was uploaded to RUclips in 2011. So 12 years before all your current problems in the states. This guy was calling it out.
Still need more akala and lowkey reactions!! 🔥 dudes are both amazing..
Bro gotta do the Akala 4th fire in the booth!
I love part 2
The lyrics and there meanings are studied in universities and Akarla speaks his truth to students in person. Akarla part 4(especially the spoken Rhymes will open your eyes as to how far hip hop can go.
If you're up for it, my choice for your next Akala reaction would be "Murder Runs the Globe" or "Malcom said it".
Wait till part 4, absolute madness
Part 4 is the beast of fire in the booths you really need to check it out mahn big up much respect checking out uk grime/rap but it will take your mind on a journey 🏴🥃😎👍
Uk has passed USA in the rap game. Facts
His fitb part 4 is the greatest of all time
Great reaction guys.
If I remember correctly from an akala lecture. Haiti was the 1st country to outlaw slavery 👍
You gotta do all 4... its a real journy!
Lowkey fitb 🔥
Part 2 is great and Part 4 is awesome
Mos Def, Black Thought, Talib Kweli, KRS 1 all conscious rappers... But yeah, not a lot of it now... But there is in the UK, Dave, Wretch 32, Avelino, Akala.
He’s an actual scholar
Fire 🔥!!!
yeah get pt 4 after this! I mean, listen to the others, but pt4 is nuts.
his sister is mrs dynamite as far as i know a UK garage legend
'Uh Kah Luh' 😏
Part 4 is the best, although it’s probably the least educational and informative but it’s just 🔥 though.
Y’all should check out Akalas sister Ms Dynamite and her song it takes more she’s just as talented as her brother and this is a good song with a deep meaning
Sick
Do some Lowkey - fire in booth 1,2 - return of Lowkey and Ahmed. You’ll enjoy.
Did Ren give this a nod in Slaughterhouse??
Part 4 is needed!!!
They will make the conscious sound crazy and glorify those that preach evil.
Why oh Why, have you not done Part 4 yet??

The term 'Asian' in the UK refers to subcontinental (pakistani, indian etc), not Asian as in Chinese or Japanese etc.
