These guys are talking more than the actual guest - that's a problem!
Lavu Njobvu HUGE problem. All they’re doing is talking AT HIM.
So rude
Rosenberg is so fricking annoying smh
I turned it off when the guy started talking about strip clubs. Awful interview.
They suck.
Kano is a Goat in the UK.
Iso Aqua i saw him in maaad movies yo thats my n*gga always looking grimmey 😂 😂 😂
Naw he aint a goat. Don't force it
He is one of the Greats, you don’t know wha gwarn. Bet your White. Peace
@@TheKnowledgeGod one of the best and goat are 2 different things. And it's you're* not your. Plus what does colour have to do with it? Fucking waste guy
Norman Stansfield waste guy🤣🤣
Kano is one of the founding fathers of a music genre, could of let him talk 🤦♂️
FACTS
No where near enough respect shown to K.A here.
It New York lol
@@jamessherlock6912 because they are American and Kano is from the UK, who specialised in a music genre, that wasn't the slightest bit appealing to these hosts on the panel. These guys probably liken all these "Lil" titled artists from the US to grime/garage... Mainly due to their lack of knowledge and background research on Kano.
What does ' could of ' mean? That's not English. Were you going for ' should have ' or ' should've ' ?
Or are you just illiterate?
🤦🏾♂️ the way these man are yapping away, they either don't respect or realize how much of a legend they're talking to. If they listened to the album, especially SYM, they definitely will have been talking about the album more.
Trust me
Facts
Whens the next chicken n chips review bruh?
100%
No cap
Why is Kano talking the least 🙄
Edit: thanks for the likes nigga
Sean Maloney PRECISELY.
Cuz they talk over the guests ALWAYS smh
@@markdavison8602 I know man flippin annoying
Because Ebro, Rosenberg and Laura don't have enough knowledge about the scene to ask good questions, so they rather make it a conversational interview.
For real this wasn't a Kano interview, this was more like a Podcast.
Americans see every conversation as some form of competition 😂😂
Edon B exactly. It’s so mad. They don’t see how dumb they sound.
Literally. They be talking at people instead of talking to them
Pathetic people!
Alie
Dimension Omega Nah just ignorance
It’s mad how people overseas think the whole of the UK have a London accent 😅
They don't even know about the north.
Facts lol
Just Americans
Ignorance is bliss 🙄
wait till they hear a scouser after a night ragin at the pub
If your comparing tracks like boasty, you’ll never understand grime 😂
Dave Maxfield lol...
Eskimo rhythm
Even grime participants don't know the root or origin of what they do. Truth is UK has an m.cing culture and grime is just one manifestation of that.
But theres a part i forgot and its the most important part..the early grime artists are responsible for their own success. For the 1st time in black uk music grime was sucessful without the major mainstream music industry. Truly independent. Then the industry made a move to absorb the genre by throwing out mercury awards. So its an excellent e.g of successful entrepreneurialism..and they were black.
When are you Americans gonna realise we don’t care if we pop in the US, we eating good over here 🇬🇧
Bare American crying in the comments lool, the funny thing is I listen to Americans more than uk rap
💯
@@hoodrichent4660 you sound frustrated lol
I think you do care, the country has a stand still whenever they collab with an american artist.
@@fab7148 nope
@@fab7148 That's not true? In fact people in the UK don't like the American collabs, people in the UK feel it's diluted sounds
Kano is a Legend... I’m from the states & been listening to Grime/UK HIPHOP/UkDrill for the last 7 years & I love all of it
Good taste fam
Respect from the UK 👌👌
Whats a good playlist or ppl to search
GEO DEE this is a playlist that I made it’s a mix of everything ruclips.net/p/PLDcPfI3Z8aj57AGumZPk8mcqtq_-2T-hA
I'm from the states and I've been listening since HOME SWEET HOME bro. Glad to know I'm not the only one!
They are so patronising in this 'interview'. I'm so annoyed they kept talking over him 😔
“Just because we didn’t lose, doesn’t mean that we’ve won bruv”- Sully. That line in Top boy was cold asf. Big up yute.
Best line
Kano’s demeanour is so nuanced - only the UK would understand what is really being said (by Kano) in this interview. Salute Kano - We say less 👊🏾😎
3CHilLL low key ignoring his little “think about it a bit more man” type answers. Trying to lead them towards it.
No need to rap about guns
Fr😂💯
American here and I know he deserve a better interview. Been listening to grime for time now. They needed to do their research. They should’ve brought up how much more censored the mainstream media is in UK. So they had to take it to pirate radios to play it to the Londoners. Wiley had the studio to help the mandem record, he also started making the eskibeats which was what helped break away from the garage scene… so much is missing from this interview to help Americans truly understand Grime/UK culture period.
A man learns way more listening than he ever will do by talking. Also stop talking at Kano and talk to him instead.

David Smith 1000000000%
Facts 💯 That's why we got 2 ears and 1 mouth.
That's why these dickheads are clueless, and will remain clueless
Kano is a LEGEND. This interview was a disrespect! They should of researched who they were talking to... smdh
They never do smh
Stave Matty “ who cairs” lmfao!!!🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
So so true they should feel privileged to have him on the show
There's US Artists they do this too don't feel bad
I could not of said it better myself.
This interview is when you write an essay with no research - Labouring on the same point just to hit the word count
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 true!
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 omd that is hilarious
😭
Not only is Kano regarded in the UK as one of the greats if not the greatest he's also a fucking good actor. Shout out to Ebro and the hot 97 fam for this interview.
Rich Daley it seem like he is like that in real life 😂 😂 😂
He’s modelled and was a footballer for the Chelsea youth team as well. Just one of those people that is awesome at whatever they do! Seriously underrated lyricist and also a maaad skippy flow.
@@steppin8 100
Incredible actor
Noone regards him as the greatest of all time. Hes blowing up a bit because of top boy but dont hype it
why do these guys always try so hard to prove that they know about people they introduce on their platform instead of letting them talk?
Ama. K Ows .... KANO is a King. What is wrong with these people talking AT him. All they’re doing is listing what they know. What a waste of Kano’s time.
As if man thought Skepta weren't part of the first generation 😂😂😂😂
Skepta was a DJ when the originals came through. Back when they were meridian. Big H, JME, paper pabz, prez t etc but he wasn’t really first generation mc but was there
@@Bulskee Skepta started spitting 2004 got well established in grime scene in 2005 so was still part of first gen as an MC
@@Bulskee Bruv you're wafflin, Skepta started as a DJ, but he quickly went on the MIC. SKepta had grime bars that would ring off in grime raves back in 2004. That is first gen. The genre only really started in 2002.
Nah allow them, them man ain’t really clued up on it
Get me bro Skepta made meridian walk and Kano and d double e Wiley dizzee crazy titch used to spit on his beats in 2003 on deja vu
I need Akala to come on here and school them about Black British History.
@Artemis Goddess Of Hunting You obviously as you replied you troll. Take your negativity elsewhere and while your at it pick up a book and educate yourself. You clearly need it 🙄🙄🙄.
Artemis Goddess Of Hunting until global warming, and they’re the first to go 😂
T Mac Akala goes by confirmation bias. Don’t believe everything he says, he’s an Afro-centrist that disregards anything that goes against his narrative and is way too quick to accept anything as fact if it suits him.
@@Scoobay He's a self-proclaimed ''scholar'' that recites wiki bits and gets info from weird afro-centric websites that don't have no references.
Rai he’s been caught out a number of times, spreading false information, and in fairness he will acknowledge it and admit he was wrong, but until someone corrects him he goes hard with those falsities, it’s detrimental to anyone looking up to him. He has his idea of what the world is, but he should keep it to himself.
Kano is the uk’s answer to nas to me, he defo one of the goats
I agree!
Kinda but a cross between nas and cole - just not as preechy
His gotta bit of DMX in him too .. legendary
To me he is like our version of hova in style
Good shout
Dem man don’t even let Kano speak, so ridiculous. They’re literally trying to tell him about London close your mouths you might learn something.... terrible interview
I cancelled Hot 97 about a year ago - came back and remembered why.
97: SO THIS IS WHAT'S UP WITH YOUR LITTLE GRIME CULTURE RIGHT?
Kano: er... well, I mean th-
97: YEAH YEAH NEW YORK PIZZA BASEBALL YO YO YO WHAT WAS THAT SKEPTA RECORD CALLED?
lol good1
Lmao
Ask him a question, let him answer it. Otherwise don't call it an interview!
Interview isn't in the title
But this is a interview.. the tittle doesn’t need to have the word interview
@@memolujan2784 its more like a discussion.
frozenwalkway because they’re not giving him a chance to speak
@@parlay-music cause radio sucks get on Joe Rogan / brilliant idiots/ any long form podcast
I am a Londoner and lived in the US for two years, live in Toronto now. Kano is right it’s better for UK artists not to worry about if Americans will be receptive to their music . I do not think they can. Our slang is different . The bars won’t hit their eardrums they way we want it too and technically they’re in a bubble so no matter what I don’t think it’ll reach. Toronto slang is similar to London that’s why Drake etc flow to Section Boyz , Stormzy and the likes .
That makes sense, drake loves it and then you got guys like Killy from Canada who uses the same slang as well.
Totally agree... In the way music is cultural so is Hearing. As well as slag and the accent(s), even the phonetics and lyrical rythms are connected to cultures.
Search for a video about Scotch Snaps which you hear in trap a lot.
ruclips.net/video/i7cG9QIvIWo/видео.html
I'm from the Netherlands and I heavely f with American and uk rap but I hate dutch rap
The way Kano builds the atmosphere of the songs in his lyrics, just doesn't feel the same for international ears.
Underrated comment lol
This man is one of the greatest actors of his generation. Don't get it twisted, his work on Top Boy Netflix is EPIC. He adds so much onto his "Summerhouse" effort and matured in the art form exponentially! Kano is the MAN! Safe!
I suspect@@doves9204 , that we will find out! His performance was immaculate to the ending scene.
That should definitely count towards many new offers upcoming!
Americans have been playing everyone... and f**king up the accents- Yes Kano😂
“LighT Em Up!” - Sully
Hahahhahha my favourite line
You no love it !! .. 💥💥
jason got lit up literally🔥
Summer house sully!
Cant be using skepta and stormzy in the same sentence. 2nd wave? Has he even heard of risky roads?
Etienne Perkins I doubt it
That was just embarrassing. Skepta jme and the meridian crew were spitting while stormzy was still in Junior school. The interviewers need to do proper research on grime including watching risky roads, Lord of the mics etc.
Skepta is older than Kano, 2nd wave lol
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Kano was looking like they need a slap 👋 jeeze
Ebro. Didn’t Rocky move to London for a while?
Kano. I don’t know, I ain’t see him 😎
😂
I watch these interviews and it makes me proud to be a Londoner how articulate Kano and Dave are we are streets ahead 🙌🏽
Well done Kano, he represented right. I’m happy to see him here.
you look a lot like yetide badaki
Lechiffresix six really? I’ve never been told that before. Our names have similar meanings.
He did he did
@@yetundepink ooo I just know the meaning of your name is banging 🔥🔥!
@@Laura-sg6ss thanks. It means “mother has come home/returned”.
I love how authentic he is to his own music, his own sound and how he isn’t willing to follow trends/compromise who he is for more fame, money etc
The “slavery in the UK” dialogue in this interview is WAY OFF. Do they know that the reason the UK is one of the wealthiest countries in the world is BECAUSE of the slave trade???
They are American, history isn't their strongest subject. America wasn't even founded when the African slave trade started in the 15th century.
I totally agree a big problem in my country is that we seem to really only focus on our history
They are talking about the effects of slavery in the US, not the wealth attained through slavery or colonialism.
How about you tell them how the UK government took out a 40% loan of their GDP to pay off the slave masters so millions of africans could be freed in 1809? We only just recently paid that off BTW. Or how about how we dedicated large resources to stopping the slave trade thereafter? We blockaded the whole west coast of africa for this, as well as the carribean.
So yeah, go cry somewhere else. There's still slavery going on in africa today. And guess what? There's not a white person in sight. Go solve that then come bitch about slavery.
@@paulies5407 are you done paying back all the resources the UK stole from Africa through colonalization. How do you measure the wealth of what you stole and stripping of the dignity of people whilst still doing it till this day dickhead. Let your race became slaves to the black race then you will appreciate the feeling
Interviewers egos got in the way of a potentially good interview.
HOT 97 didn't deserve this Kano interview!
This is a terrible interview. The interviewers went out of there way to talk ALL way through. We know you recognise Grime but you didn't support until Drake cosigned so let the man tell his story PLEASE. It's his story.
They’ve supported from time still, can’t lie 🤷🏾♂️ long time
DuttyRockb proof?
Literally 27 minute video of interviewers not letting the guest talk and trying to prove that they know the scene. Smh
There is no if's or but's, Kano has always held the UK down...he is the UK. His music reaches levels many grime artists just can't reach or understand about the culture here. He may not be the most popular artist from the UK, but hands down he's the most real. No questions he's the definition of grime and UK culture, period.
ps and qs will forever be one the greatest grime/garage songs to come out of the uk
phantom2k10 very popular song we listen to some of the music out of UK much love
Ebro loves the sound of his own voice! SHOUTS TO KANO! 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Didnt talk about Kano’s Music but keep name dropping every other grime artist🤦🏾♂️
To have Kano in the room is a huge deal. The man's a legend!! And a true Brit 🇬🇧
Kano is a legend. I like hot 97 but they only put in real research and energy when it comes to artists they know and passionately follow. Kano deserves a lengthy in depth interview for all he has achieved and contributed to the music scene in the UK. This interview should have been directed towards him in my opinion rather than the usual formal introduction to Americans 🙄 even when Ebro asked him about lyrics and slang, I thought he was going to acknowledge Kano as one of the best lyricists to ever live but no, he treated it as a language barrier smh. Akala’s interview with Kano is WAY better.
Catherine Nassali THIS comment sums up my entire sense of this. Thank you!!!
Cee Cee You like hot 97? They are the worst in the states, look what they did to kodak
facts! they had no clue who they were interviewing lol
Facts!
Yeah, this is the U.S. U.K artists may do well in other parts of the world but need to be exceptional to get it popping up here. An example will be Drake, some dance hall artists, and few afrobeat artists like wiz Kid and Burna Boy
It would have been nice to hear more from Kano, these guys like the sounds of their on voices.
How can you not love Kano, the man is a genius with music but also one intelligent guy! Absolute GOAT for me
When I was younger we basically had no choice but to listen to US music. Then came along channel U/AKA etc and made it a bit easier for us to hear our own music.
Now I talk to younger kids and they dont even listen to US music because the UK scene is so diverse and tells our story!
Do Ebro let anybody finish making a point.
marqus braddy 🤣🤣🤣
Kano is a true Legend. Never sold out once.
Why this sound like Kano interviewing Hot97????
How important pac, biggie, big L is to hip hop. That’s how important Kano is to grime.
These Americans need to understand
Man like Kano! Boop Boop Boop! Best Grime MC of all time!
It’s maud. America will never know how much Kano has done. The man is levels
Hey, lets interview Kano BUT.....
Lets barely let him speak!!
Respect to ebro and that, they always showing love to the UK! Kano is too humble, he is pretty much the Godfather of the uk scene he brought in P and Q's
Rate Kano for not glorying the streets
Kano signs in life, still one of his best tracks
My favourite tune for sure.
You ain’t lying!! One of his realest songs.
💯💯💯
Whole album’s a madness
Defo one of the best!!!
KANO IS A LEGEND! Feel privileged you had him in your studio. Wish he got interviewed by SWAY and breakfast guys as well
Kano ain't talking the facts he's letting them tell him how things are frustrating to watch
100%
Yep, thought the same.
Hot 97 you know, Gwarn Kano! 🙌
*Gwaan.
@Man Like B My thoughts exactly.

We can come to your show HOT 97 it, or we can do it london styley and rinse it heat FM 966 it
Big up Kano...his album is a classic! Interviewers didn’t do him justice with their lack of questions.
Gena Croc really poorly prepared
honestly, they didn't talk about his music at all
This interview was weak, y’all keep comparing u.s and u.k! Y’all didn’t even let him talk and introduce the u.k at all
The way Americans look at the UK still pisses me off, how can he say people didn't experience 'their' racism and we couldn't 'understand it' dpmo
Latest Lyrics - some of them have NO cultural awareness outside of their own experiences. It’s a shame.
Exactly it's like they think it's a competition or something
Because you can’t. British racism is not the same as American.
Well it's not really the same, is it? UK racism is so subtle it will drive you mad. And It's not as socially acceptable in the UK to call out racists as it is in the US, you'll be accused of making a big deal out of nothing and everything gets swept under the rug EVERY TIME. People get fired for tweets in the US, while that's so rare here in the UK.
@@rai2423 I get it's not the same and maybe I didn't phrase myself correctly but the way he looks at us in the UK and thinks everythings tea and crumpets pisses me off
KANO more legendary than most US rappers today Americans got no idea!
Now you’re talking stupidJayz is still around and many legends.I will agree he is great and stop saying things you couldn’t possibly know.I know all about Kano,Asher D,(who came from the So Solid Crew)Scorcher,Wretch.I watch Chuckie and Poet Halfcast.And by the way Ebro knows he works with Julie Adenuga.smh
Man that made me chuckle
@@kimwright6377 thats why I said *MOST* Jayz is probably the only good one left and he's too busy for artwork these days... the only other decent UK rapper you stated was Wretch, the others are ok but not on the level....

Olwethu Silo these guys are all clowns apart from Kano
I wish he’d shut up.
One of my favourite rappers ever!!!!! RAP, Grime etc. He can rap over anything
Top Boy - great show. Highly recommend it.
Very talented guy. Played his role better than any of the cast and made topboy believable. Don't think I would have enjoyed without him
Legend in the UK
Love the crew but y'all needed to allow Kano to give himself. Too much chatter. Let the UK man have a say!!!!!! By the way, KANO NEEDS AN EMMY NOMINATION for his portayal of Sully in Top Boy.
The uks running the music scene right now, furthermore the whole world is using our style and our drill beats.
Peace from the States. Shout out to the UK. I've been listening to Kano since P's & Q's. I got most of his cataloge (including MC #1 and Jack Bauer 1 & 2). Much respect to his career. ✊

On the mic now you should N.O. Ima buss out wearing Hugo ... old skool Kano
Good to see UK Grime legend KANO on American radio podcast
the stuff he has done for the scene
from Ps n Qs to hoodies all summer to top boy outstanding work paid off
Kano spitting gems as always... when they let him talk clearly they know more about grime than one of the originals
Kanos so underrated. Been listening to him from day one and seen him perform live. Would love to see him blow in the US
What was the point of having Kano on the show and talking over him or just the amount of ignorance. Luckily not all Americans are ignorant.
Did you miss when he was speaking uninterrupted about youth violence? Or the Mark Duggan? It's a good chat..they knew more than most Americans about the UK tbh.
Get akala on the program!!
BIG FACTO
He's too smart for them
The whole world would tune in to watch Akala school Americans
Love kano but this interview was pretty rude, 90% of this interview is just those hosts talking to each other and interrupting Kano.
These International Rap Artists are selling out stadiums in their countries and across EU. Who needs the US? The French, UK, and South African Rap Scene is huge.
Sully like my fav character he a savage
Long live Kane Robinson 👑
I like the way Kano never name dropped ghetto as one of the originals 😂😂😂
Been a grime fan for over a decade now....glad to see he's getting shine in the US now.
Respect to Kano. Og in the uk 🇬🇧
Ebro - "Yo, yo, yo guys I got Lionel Messi here - he plays rugby ball and let me tell you about the history of rugby ball - rugby ball comes outta England right? Yeah, yeah, yeah I know cuz I got a LOUD VOICE YO!"

Messi - *looks puzzled*
Ebro - "RRRRROOOOOAAAAARRRRR YOU KNOW NOTHINGGGGGG!!!"
Messi - *is best player of all time*
this is too funny
There is a lack of questions
If kano grew up in america he would be as big a 50 and all those big dogs .love what he does loads of respect from Dublin Ireland
Whenever they have a U.K rapper 4 an interview they are more concerned about London city and its comparison to the USA more than they are concerned about the artists themself and THEIR music. It becomes way too generalized, EBORO AND ROSENBURG really need to research the U.K artists they have on and their music to the same level of depth as they would do for someone from the states like A$AP Rocky or Travis Scott. LET UR INTERVIEWEES SPEAK 2!! Talk about them not about everyone else but them.
Seriously
Hell. Ebro and Rosenburg don't even understand the U.S. They are sooo New York City and like he said New York is not America. LOl talking about trap is strip club music and you have to visit the strip clubs to get it. I'm from the land of Trap music and have been listening since it's inception and loved it at first (It's gone down hill now in my opinion) without going to a strip club to hear it. lol But I don't expect them to understand a Southern thing like Trap because they are so New York. Also, if they weren't so New York they would understand that the problem with UK music breaking into the U.S. is that Black Americans outside of New York, Toronto and other Caribbean/African strong holds don't get it really.
They’re trying to introduce people to the U.K. it’s an interview for the US not for English Kano fans
Foreal, these interviewers are bare annoying, tryna speak like they no what goes on here in UK but they're clueless. Should let kano tell it how it is
Ebro never shuts the F@ck up and allows people to speak. Kano handled it with class.
Kano character in top boy was favorite character. That is the UK version of the wire. The actors/Actresses are all top quality.
I wish I could give Kano the interview he deserves here in America. I’ve listened to grime for a long time so I’m more knowledgeable. I would definitely
Help bring light to those who don’t know anything about it.
ITS K A!!!!!!!!!! Absolute legend you have here. Haven’t heard the interview yet but I respect the fact that you have this man on. Love!!!!
Kano is a LEGEND in the GAME!
SNM
USA needs to know about the BARZ from UK!
Speaking of game, THE GAME of LA blood fame would chew Kanos back out lyrically. UK is a junior rap league, play your positions
Apart from the ones that are obvious
Gotta love Kano, a very humble genius
Hot 97 are pricks and they were lowkey disrespecting Kano in this interview, let him talk smh
