How many rappers have you ever heard brag about the amount of books they have instead of how many chains they have? Akala is fucking magic.
To be fair he does say he has a nice whip and shit like that at the start, but still true
+AlwaysRetr0 Well.. isnt he doing it as a joke about the whole rapscene
+eddie malmborg yes he is and more importantly proving his genius he uses the truth to do it xD
+AlwaysRetr0 Yeah but he brings up the fact that people are obsessed with the material wealth of rappers and that he will tell the listener what his life is like if that's what they really wanna hear..
+AlwaysRetr0 "Oi.. mate.. my personal life's great.. some of you would love me more if I rub that in your face.."
only reason akala isnt more popular is due to the amount of truth he spouts , the mainstream media would be destroying itself by promoting akala
Exactly any rapper who speaks against the government and the system are always not approved they want people to be a stereotype
+Xavier2000 _ Yeah, those bars are in F64 S2E2 SBTV for anybody wondering.
Liam Canavan akala could basically destroy any grime mc
Or it's because a majority of the people into rap is not looking for some deep lyrics, but rather just good flow and punchlines and to be fair while Akala is good, there's many people just as good, if you ignore lyrical content.
Thomas Harding because the flow and the beat is content as well.
"Fight Fire with Fire, nah fight it with water,
see the life giving force, is stronger than the destroyer"
Pow.
And the way he delivered that line 😵

@@soliyanamulugeta2087 time?
Every time I feel dissatisfied with the system, I listen to Akala and feel so grateful there's people like him. Such an inspiration.
Brings me back around everytime.
100%. Makes everyone’s position clear. Either help one another or be the problem. Really special. The best quarter hour you’ll spend is listening to this.
Charlie Sloth nails it as well with the reactions. Hilarious. Blown away the same as we all were but puts it into words we couldn’t.
I know how you feel but it would be a hell of a lot more productive if every time we felt disaffected by the system we actually put effort into something that changed it :)
@@LieutenantSteel real talk
RESPECT 💯👏👏👏
When rappers appear on radios they bring their entourage, designer clothes and big chains, Akala rolls up in just a white t-shirt which he probably got on sale. His flow in incredible, added to the fact his lyrics carry so much meaning behind them, such a great musician and inspiration to a lot of people. Hopefully get to see him live near the end of the year
My guy Akala probably got the shirt in tesco
+Kamal John tesco are tax dodging gits.....so hopefully not
Realness
A white t-shirt on sale? Lmfao. The most basic t-shirt would not be on sale.
am i the only one seeing that it's actually got white art on the front.
I'm a white middle class 55year old wheelchair toting granny. Thank you Akala. I've found some more rap that I like listening to and can agree with on every level. Appreciate it
wow love this
I'm a white middle class 56 year old male. I'm very happy to see I'm not alone among my peers. I always post links from Lowkey and Akala to the sheeple. Some of those kids actually listen and understand the message.
Glad to see that people of all ages listen to this great artist
PLZZZ EXCUSE THE CAPS ... YESSS INDEED ... I AM 46 ( ONLY JUST 🤫 SHH ; ) & IVE ALWAYS LOVED RAP ( & METAL + THE NEW MASH - UPS 💜 ) RIGHT BACK TO THE 80 ' S , PAC , DRE , EAZY E , CYPRUS HILL , NWA , PUBLIC ENEMY , FLAVOR FLAV , SNOOP , ICE CUBE ETC ... I DO LOVE OLDSKOOL RAP ... & I LOVE AKALA TOO ... HE IS SO VASTLY KNOWLEDGEABLE WITH AN INTELLECT MOST PEOPLE CAN ONLY DREAM OF & AS WE ALL KNOW *KNOWLEDGE IS POWER* ... GROWING - UP LIVING ON A COUNCIL ESTATE SO MUCH OF WHAT HE RAPS ABOUT I CAN RELATE TO ... & MY KIDS ARE BIRACIAL & I SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT HE & MANY OTHERS ARE DOING , IVE ALREADY SEEN THE BARRIERS & RACIST COMMENTS FROM OTHER KIDS ... BUT NOBODY IS BORN RACIST ... ITS ALL LEARNED BEHAVIOUR FROM THEIR PARENTS , MAYBE GRANDPARENTS ... AS GENERATIONS START ACCEPTING EACH OTHER MORE & MORE I PRAY IN THE FUTURE WE CAN BE RID OF DISCRIMINATION ONCE & FOR ALL 🙏🏻 BE DONE WITH THE LIKES OF TOMMY ROBINSON , EDL & THE NF ... THE VILE CREATURES ...
@@curtisburgess9681 DARN RIGHT , SHEEPLE IS HOW I REFER TO THE SLEEPING POPULATION TOO ... WAKE - UP ...
learned more in these 15 minutes then all my years at school
read this gem after reading so many comments.... hopefully what's been learned in the last 15 mins will again open ur mind to accessing more knowledge
+Ethan quinn then you clearly didnt work very hard at school, like Akala has said himself you can self educate if you have the will power
school is just indoctrinating masses with BULLSHIT
Ethan quinn cus ur school don't tell the truth
Monty Bryant it's not about working hard at school in no aspects of any of the curriculums are we gifted with any of this info we are receiving from this amazing 14:13
One of the most enlightened people you'll find in the public eye, for anyone that says he go's on about white people to much should listen harder I'm white and all I can hear is about class inequality which is something we should all be tuning into
I’m white and I agree 100% he takes both sides left/right on and calls them out on the wrong doings he don’t discriminate he speaks facts!
Agreed and same I'm white as well.
1 of his parents is white I’m sure
Revisiting all of Akala's Fire in the Booth's and I'm just realising how much of an influence he has been on my mindset. It's crazy how I'm much (more) open-minded and completely open to learning new things and actually seek out and enjoy learning new things. I can't help but feel that Akala's and his music are a partial influence and even though he won't see this, THANK YOU. You're a genius!
Same
+TheWolfTyrant
Well said mate.
Lowkey and Akala stemmed my desire for intelligence and self-awareness even though I'm sure it was always there. Big up.
Love lowkey and Akala!
Loving the love for these legends.
Not so long ago there were very very few people who appreciated their talent.
learned more listening to akala then I ever did at school, the man's unique
Anyone listening in 2020 !? This guy is a human dictionary. Truth spoken master
Yes he is!
I actually had the non-privilage over being in the same school as him. He is literally the actual embodiment of how people can change. No BS.
To be fair, Akala is very open about how he acted as a teenager.
@@CheeseSammich This is true 👍
absolutely
Rappers like Akala Don't get enough exposure because the message is positive or knowledgeable. Dam shame.
From 9:25- 13:40 something happened that hasn't happened in a while... Real hip-hop nearly brought me too tears.. You lot can say im moist or whatever but it's real talks.. Bring hip-hop back! KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!
There’s a reason this man ain’t mainstream! The powers above are scared kids will start listening and realising what this country is really about!
You mean powers below right? They under our level not above it. They just stoop lower to get what they want as akala states in every song
One of the realest rappers ive ever listened to and its a privilege hes from the UK! How could somebody say hes not our deepest rapper?
Look up lowkey, he's just as deep believe me, these 2 are on par with eachother, lowkey is very articulate and lyrical skill + message is on the same level believe me! I've been listening to these guys for years :D
@@eSportskid and mic righteous
"My boys mother got cancer the same time as mine his mother died and mine survived" that line gets me every time such powerful & beautiful lyrics
It's actually hard to put into words how good this is! By far the best Fire In The Booth
I don't even like this genre of music but Akala is a boss and i could listen to him all day.
Most rap is trash, but you can find really good rappers out there. Hope that you will find the others too!
grime
Nazreen Mohamad
how is most rap trash? never found a big artist yet who is trash..
TeeJayy C Lil wayne, wiz kalifa, kendrick lemar, drake, 80% of modern rap is awful.
matt jugpal everyone you named are successful and killing it..
REAL.
The fact this hasn't got a million views is offensive.
mind blown so many times my thoughts are spiraling fractal, orbiting my ears forever oscillating to the rythm of neverending questions! thanks!
Today is October 11, 2016 & I just discovered this incredible rapper. I'm 28 and damn near ashamed but better late than never!
chris hickey dude check out wiki breaks and prince ea. Real shit!
suli not wiki. auto correct
Don't just watch this video and be like 'this is sick', use it to educate yourself, read and find out about the history of your people.
Akala didn't exactly say he himself was like Tupac, Marley and other great men but he truly is a great man that came from nothing and educated millions.
Hats off man, lots of bad things have happened to me in the last week or so but I really hope I get to see you in May.. Inshallah I guess
Just read this, I never got to see you at Edinburgh. Sucks so much, I just couldn't get the tickets early because I lost my brother suddenly then as it got closer i just ended up skint.. hope I see you live one day
Scott Knight stay positive mate, your time will come soon. Chin up and keep on trucking
He's definitely smarter
Scott Knight he is doing another tour in winter my brother
Head Up Trust The Most High
This guy is without doubt the most compelling rapper I have ever heard. A constant stream of interesting and incisive social commentary, and not a skip in the lyrics. Love this!
9:25-14:13 Most inspiring Hip Hop I've heard, Thank you Akala and also BBC for having the means to make this.
The fuck you thanking BBC for
Um, they let Charlie 'CheeseBurger' Sloth have this fucking show so that we could have a platform to hear Akala spit the sickest shit. Fuck BBC on every other level except this one.
+Taaha Hydrus am I the only person that actually doesn't mind Charlie sloth haha
+jordan Dilworth he's alright passionate asf💯
10 years deep, still got this on every now and then
See Akala perform live is one of the things I need to do before die.
it is well worth it... i wanna see him again every time i listen he puts on a GREAT set
i have hes amazing i preformed with him hes defiantly a crowd pleaser id advise you do it!!!
i won the competition with a few others to go to the listening session and it was one of the best moments of my life, akala is so enlightening , we had major discussions and he followed me on twitter, he is by far the most educated man i have met
Akala's part 1 and 2 are the most iconic FITB's ever done by anyone.
3 is 1st then 4 skill wise
@@faroukmeah8165 agreed but it's unpopular
Dude is an inspiration.
2023 and it still resonates
After listening to Akala I go and Google things he talks about and then wonder why I've never been taught about those things like the Kingdom of Kongo. Need more like Akala, educating us all, and there was me thinking I was already educated... respect Akala
I don't take lessons from very many people but today I have learned something, and spend my time properly for once. What a devestatingly awesome mc, focusing on the right message, did you here what he said before he begun? "Turn my vocals up..." Because word is more important than the beat that he surfs. Massive love for this educative scripture.
This shit needs to be bigger; big rappers today like Drake are complete arse.
Ok I agree with you but I like drake 😂.
big names might not be bad but... their songs are empty, this is real
Very few artists have that freedom to put out what they want to...so calling them rubbish is rather unfair (i'm not defending Drake) but they don't get that final say... unfortunately.... unsigned artists with the real talk have that because they have no one above them with the money calling the shots... Knowledge is power... respect to Akala for keeping it real none stop.
@@huey6248 but he's a chimo
"When the Jamaican or Asians misbehave of course its because of their skin, blonde hair kills a million people? thats just him."
Pretty much explains this country.
This is still relevant
No you mean the world
Actually fuc*ing TIMELESS ✍🏻💯
So true!!! I hope in twenty years these lyrics dont hit so hard because things have changed and not because things are the same and people still dont know this knowledge
LOWKEY, AKALA & MIC RIGHTEOUS are the only ones who spit REAL fire in the booth! NOBODY can top them!‼️🔥👏🏻💯
Wretch 32, Kano, Bugzy part 2, Krept and Konan...
+Theo Broadhurst not bugzy😂😂😂😂
+Haary potter Ye he can, not his first one but his second is fuckin fire.
Also my 3 favourites..
Not so sure about Mic Righteous, he was once pretty beast but now... hmm - also I gotta agree, you NEED to add Wretch's 2nd one in there, that was unbelievable! Bugsy's second one was pretty sick too.
Jaw-droppingly good. Unreal. I learn so much from this guy. His talent is ridiculous.
I cant find words to describe what I've just listened to. Facts, facts and more facts.
Ms Dynamite gave Akala his first taste of Mary Jane!! Ha haa Much Love Ms Dynamite!!
Wow, how did I not know that Dynamite was Akala's sister. Thanks for the info dude.
personally I think this is the best of his fire in the booth trilogy
BLFilms tetralogy now
There's five.
I'm not ganna lie I started to cry towards the end
I've really listened to this 100's of times and I swear, each time I come back I learn something new. This is true power!
🔥💯
Thank you so much I've been listening to your albums, fire in the booths, sbtvs, daily duppy etc. hundreds of times an they have all given me so much knowledge & understanding. I'm so grateful for everything you've done especially in the sense of how it has benefited me as an individual. Thank you from australia!
YO i've learned more from Akala in 14 minutes than I did from my 17 years in school and university WTF THIS GUY IS SO GOOD!!!
Learnt more in 14 mins here than I learnt through my whole school career. Akala is the perfect ambassador for UK hip hop.
It's 1st Jan 2020 and I'm still listening. This guy speaks so much truth ... He should be played in schools. Better than any lesson I had during my school years. He makes you want to read, learn and understand.
Going to see Akala next friday! Cant wait!!!
How was it??
Was good. I really like Akala but im not sure about some things. But apart from that it was ok
Just out of interest bro what were you not sure about?
"My brains made of iron fibre conducting the livest wire, my average grade is higher than Oxford or Cambridge require" Sick Line!!!
Akala is by far the best lyricist around! Love how he doesn't back down & speaks the truth about the struggle of so many around the world. Knowledge is power
Knowledge isn't power. Violence is power. It's unfortunate but true!
Nah tech the best lyracist
+zak akram Think vocab wise Tech has it, but the power in the words is even, still prefer Akala, his flow is deadly and he raps so many different beats. Sadistik is another great lyricist, and for vocabulary it's been proven Aesop Rock has the broadest in hip-hop
RyanGiggsOBE I'll need to try out sadistik then
+RyanGiggsOBE if your talking about Immortal Technique, fuck him.
he could never step on our man Akala, Mic Righteous and Lowkey (RIP Lowkey)
May 2022, still cant get enough. you are a legend sir
uknow
After watching this my perspective of music has changed completely. Cant watch a single video without questioning the artist and what they stand for... has to be the best thing that has happened to me by watching this
As an American, we don't have anybody this good. Best MC, simple.
@@harnaamsingh5506 krino, loaded lux, king Los I could name way more... Come on now I'm from UK
"we live on Celtic land but we don't learn about the Celts"
Not actually true, of course. there's tonnes of archeological research done on the celts. A very popular period of culture to study. I know what he means, though. There aren't nearly enough people interested in the countries history. Of course, the celts were invaders of the land just like the Germanics, Normans, Scandinavians etc. They too came from across the sea, and did to the beaker people what the Roamns and Germanics would do to them.
The brythonics (Welsh) we're native to this island recent study's on DNA prove that they are a mixture of Hunter gatherers that got stranded here after the last ice age and migratingmm tribes from the Basque region.
Brythonic is a linguistic definition, not a genetic one. And it describes linguistic groups from Brittany, Cornwall, Strathclyde (now defunct) and Cumbria (only used in counting sheep these day).
the celts came from the continent. These lands were inhabited by the beaker people prior to that. And they must have come from somewhere.
Humanity began in Africa, remember. There are no native Brits.
I couldn't agree more. It's what the British empire was built on (that and slavery). And yet people still speak of our imperial past with pride.
+Iamatreee if you find barbarianism something to celebrate yeh top prize you raped murdered extorted went and stole children to sell as slaves erm fucked most countries over for all their resources and set the countries back into a dark age. Then sit there calling them for their lack of progression. Invite people to come help the country out of a depression after a war they massively helped us to win by doing the jobs the natives were toooo good for, subject them to years of torment then call them immigrants. Erm we sent murderers and rapists to one of the loveliest continents in the world Australia quickly started to oppress the aborigines natives even stole their children and did horrible things too them and the ones that survived got released into "white society" and they either killed themselves or ended up in mental institutions due to the fear of their horrific experiences. To top it of in the resource rich east of Australia they kicked a massive population of aboriginal people
absolute power corrupts absolutely but absolute powerlessness does the same..... absolute MADNEESSSSSSSSSS
Akala. One of the few of the greatest hip hop artists of all time. I wish I could meet this man.
The U.S needs him... a lot.
+Gravity He's toured there before but on a mainstream level the U.S wouldn't accept him.
Like Nas and AZ I guess...
+Gravity Yeah he opened few shows here in the UK for Nas & Damien Marley when they were touring "Distant Relatives". He's one hell of a tough act to follow! I hope one day they all get on a track together, surely they recognized his skills.
+Gravity listen to immortal technique :)
Yep i can see them getting Guantanamo bay ready for him
The way he moves his arms with his flow makes me feel he's pulling those words out of nature.
We all have an invisible field around us, Akala has his tuned down to the T. Energy just flows through him.
Props from germany!
So much talent, thanks for sharing these words with the world.
Remember when I first heard Akala, Shakespeare. I'm 30 now, still come back after so long.
Upsets me that the artists with the most meaningful lyrics always remain underrated
The most underrated rapper love you brother 🔥🔌💯
Love the lyrics.. Truth in every syncopated syllable. Keep on keeping on Akala.
09:20 until the end brings back memories of living in Holloway and going to Acland burley. You are one of the GOATs Akala.
How on earth is this man not everywhere? I’m amazed that I’m from the uk and I’ve only just come across him. To be fair I am nearly 40 and not a massive music person but this man deserves to be a household name END OF
Going to see him live next week - gonna be good!
I love how he goes at the left/right and isn’t taking sides just calls out all the things both sides are doing wrong! If the term “Freedom Fighter” applies to anybody it’s this man right here! ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
damn !!! just recently gave the uk scene ( am from the uk ) a chance and a must admit that ive been sleeping for a long while , my ears and brain are loving this
Literally mindblowing. I can only dream of being in the same league with such a craftsman.
A million views is criminal
The actual best ❤️
Akala, I don't know if you'll ever see this, but I want you to know how much you have and do mean to the movement. Especially in these times, where we're on the verge of either global awakening or global genocide, your words keep me going. They strengthen me when I'm on the street fighting. And when those who have been sleeping ask me what it will take to wake up, I send them to your music and say "first listen; then read; then fucking LEARN."
Knowledge IS power. And so many would rather take OUR power than do the work to claim their own. I wonder if they're afraid of it; afraid of their own power, and that makes them afraid of us. Because we don't have to steal it. We got it.
Please keep spittin truth fam.
Read it g 💯🤞
If I could, I'd play this on every large screen around the world.
second part gets me everytime, too deep
This Deserves A Lot More Views. Knowledge Is Power.
He's made so much progress with the delivery since then. Bars and message was always 🔥
Get him back in the booth for part 4 pronto
Snm
+Joddy p lol got it. wasn't *that* impressed
"Like Carlin or Bill HIcks" Gotta love it.
These guys are incredible..Spitting about the Moors and Columbus...Bravo Akala and big up to Madhat Mcgore and his manager Leigh...I'm making him my UK A&R...You guys (all of you) represent Hip Hop very well...You remind me of when I was growing up in Hollis listening to real hip hop from real MC's...Dope!!!!
arguably more relevant today than it was back in 2012
Sadly 100% correct Mike, hopefully this time we are living through historical change which will see this not being relevant for future generations of young people's living experiences, and I mean that in a positive sense. ✌❤
@@marcasoceallaigh5362
Fingers crossed my man, the signs are good so far
Akala is unbelievable!!!
amazing
Absolutely amazing.
Incredible talent...you're amazing ♥️
Man you made me break down in tears cus you just scripted my life in one song ,much love brother
Amazing, why ain't Akala more popular?
Why? Because he's so good. You have to be shit to be a pop star. Haven't you heard the'music' in the charts? Only the shittiest stuff sells.
moodini99 No, because he's trying to change a system that doesn't want to be changed.
Yeah, I know. But it's futile. The biggest demographic don't want decent, well-researched lyrics like Akala's. They want banal, brainless shit like Folrida, Pitbull, Tinie Tempah and all those talentless cretins who make millions from twelve year-olds spending their parents cash on i-tunes. That's never ever going to change.
for real, but fuck it, akala has enough to get by, and we get to listen to his truly amazing music, win win situation for everyone!
True. Just a shame that talentless pricks like Florida, Tinie Talent (Tempah) and Pitbull get respected because some music producer made a song for them to do some shitty lyrics to.
Akala, such an inspiration! He was one of the people who got me into politics,and his song Find No Enemy has the line that has since become my motto (The only way we can ever change anything is to look in the mirror and to find no enemy.) Such an inspiration. Peace be upon you, my respect goes to you.
Brilliance! You are freakin’ brilliant @akala music!
definitely my favourite U.K artist. apparently most humans use only 5% of their brains Akala obviously isn't one of them.
+ucanthandledatruth01 humans use the full 100% of their brain, just not at the same time ;)
+JustSwizzY we talking about intensity not capacity bro
His brain uses 5% of him 😂
That! Was truly epic
Truthfully* :3
Out of curiosity, where are you from? :) Just want to see the extend of Akala's prestige.
Oxford UK
2shotslol How the hell the same background? =) =/
I KasperioS I Same minds think a like
just so deep man. every time i watch this, it just gets better.
so impressed, feeling Akala
"Back in school days wearing hand me downs from my sister, and gyal was still onto man, now that's some ras charisma" fucking genius haha!
knowledge is power
Had to relax a minute and just digest that. Amazing
Unreal, the second verse/beat starting at around 9:18 spoke to me on a personal level. It reminds me of growing up as a kid, and remembering times with my mother before her passing. I sat in awe listening for the entire time
This incredible man is overlooked, as Kanye West steals oxygen.
Carlos Howell they actually have very similar messages about classism and self-hate, kanye is just not as good at articulating himself so is misunderstood
@@RM-re9ry Maybe, but i have more faith Akala would practice what he preaches. Kanye endorsed trump so personally I think hes full of shit.
@@MAD2CANS agreed on every point
How is this not even at a million views 😴
this is legendary, makes me cheer up when im down coz absolute power corrupts absolutely but absolute powerlessness does the same! its not the poverty, its the inequality we live of everyday that will turn us insane!!!!
Such a good in fire in the booth, love it
