Legend 🔥🇬🇧🇯🇲💯… South London, Peckham… every time I see Giggs winning just makes me proud. The government tried hard to stop his rise and success. No one can stop what is meant for you! Big up Giggs man 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@LiClan So u were there when the police were discussing this I take it? What u have said is a narrative they’ve used to ultimately stop him from succeeding. Why don’t his shows get shut down now if that’s the case? I was there watching him on the 02 stage at Nicki Minaj’s concert end of last month. Surely if he was such a threat to the public, they would’ve advised Nicki to not have him perform. And she would’ve ultimately listened to the advice being a superstar and having her image and reputation to think about. I think some people just hate the truth and are brainwashed conformist.
@@k33bsa47 he was still living that life those times. Besides venues risking their reputation, do you know how much compensation gets paid out to families when someone gets badly injured? I’ve worked in the event industry for many years and I’m speaking from experience.
@@LiClanI know the club event scene too and I’m willing to bet someone like you is part of the problem, vice hosted Giggs to launch noisy at their club in 2010s and there was no drama. So some happy to platform mandem and others were just scared of the hood especially black men like Giggs. But now you all love mandem right.. I bet if I saw you today, you’d be dressing in mandems swagger, using the lingo, vibes to the music.. but deep down ur still envious and you wanna try take it away from man.. I see you
Giggs changed the UK music game!!! Labels changed their whole approach to signing artists because of him!!! The government black balled him so much BUT when they couldn’t stop his notoriety, EVERYONE started to eat!!!
Love how Giggs doesn't glorify negativity and is a master at deflection. Wish him well. The panel should have researched more about him to improve their questions. Hip Hop isn't just about streets or prison, it has many elements. Other rappers should learn from Giggs' unapologetic handling of uncomfortable questions. He has the right mentality and should stick to his plan of staying private and helping others quietly. "The biggest obstacle was staying off the streets", was a very eloquent way of stating that he will not talk about the streets. Not everyone needs to boast and beat their chest like King Kong. We can't criticize kids for incriminating themselves on social media yet, keep asking Giggs about street stuff despite his deflections. Other than that, was an enjoyable interview
Giggs is smart he won't incriminate himself ever. But if yall wanna hear the real UK hood stories you need to get some of the old school brixton pdc mandem om here. They'll tell you what the South London streets was really like back then.
In the UK there are no statue of limitations (for the majority of crimes). There was a man who had served 20 years for a shooting. He then appeared on a documentary, talking about the shooting, trying to dissuade young people from following in his path. The police saw the documentary and he was arrested as he apparently released unknown information in relation to the crime.
And this is the difference. If you’re affiliated with the streets or gangs later in life you still don’t talk about it whereas Americans will glorify it on podcasts etc not all but most of them.
Giggs low-key says he didn't like that scene, though. Being called mc was look down upon in london, Giggs wanted to be more mainstream rap. But, I feel you
Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated the day after Christmas, on December 26th. It originated in the United Kingdom and is observed in several other countries that were part of the British Empire. Traditionally, it was a day when employers distributed gifts in boxes to their servants and tradespeople. In modern times, Boxing Day is known for shopping sales, similar to Black Friday in the US, and various sporting events...speaking of British Empire that is also why West Indian Culture is and many African cultures are prominent in the UK.
That's all good. Music is highly subjective. Regardless that man is a UK rap legend who's contribution to the industry is massive and was iconic in the scene with his unique cannot be duplicated style. That era was a mazza because of Giggs!
Gotta go back to early Giggs days. He even says he don't write bars anymore just freestyles on tracks. Check out old Giggs stuff.

Lol you can see and hear the difference. And feel the cultural influence of West Africans and the Caribbean on the UK. Giggs don’t do a whole lot of talking about things. He’s very precise with how he feels. Esp anything street related. He made a quick point and that’s what it is. Mecc and Math on the Music vs Streets convo kept going over it from different angles. Giggs would say 1-2 sentences and be done with his point lol. Same with the convo about speaking to the youth. Just an observation. We been going back and forth on these topics for 30 years here in the US but rare is it that something gets DONE. Lesson is speak less and build more.
Realest talk or major real talk?...it's good to see the Landlord aka Hollowman aka Giggs on My Expert Opinion podcast. Talking about his journey. His journey hasn't exactly been a walk in the park. So no matter what you do or want to do his journey shall inspire you
Tbf Gangster Chronicles by London Posse in 1990 is the first gangster rap from the UK but as far as solo mainstream Walk In Da Park is arguably the first.
interview was dryer than a camels neckback.. unless you're aged 12,13,14,15 years old..Giggs cant even string a decent sentence together ffs his 43 years old.

He is genuinely one of them people who do more than speak. Was really down to earth and cool when I met him, treated people with respect. Peace Landlord 💚
Giggs is certi cos he from the streets but dont glorify it or talk about jail like its some accomplishment, we all been and done stuff we aint proud of.
