This has to be a re-upload. There’s no way a song this sick with such good rappers has this low views. I refuse to believe the UK music scene is this done out here surely.
Imagine if we never imagined this? Imagine if our imaginations couldn't fathom it? Imagine if the butterfly effect was a caterpillar in the garden of Eden by the tree where the apple is! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No haram. I go ham when I pray, cos there's no real helping hand, when dealing with pain. If God made man in his image I'ma create. I'ma be great mi casa sucasa Cassius Clay! 😲🤯🤯🤯🔥
3:56 I can't believe this seems to have gone over everyone's head How could he draw me out if he don't know what art is, I'm Picasso Diss me and man know, it's a kidnap Nothing but red paint when the van goes [Van Gogh] I don't make pop art also and these [Andy] kicks that I wore hold [Worhol] up I had a tough upbringing and hard days, I saw those Weight on my chest only right I got a tour so [torso] Dave is an artist referencing other artists
Its also a play on words now that you mentioned it Of "Welcome to Miami" by Will Smith who had a line saying "Met Ali...told me I'M THE GREATEST!"....Crowd pleaser...etc etc. So its comes full Circle to Cassius Clay! this songs title!..Wordsmith!!!
@@robertusbroadlygoat5976 Aitch is hard but obviously not on Av's level lyrically. It's not Aitch's fault that the market demand for masterful lyricism is at an all time low. Aitch is just doing his thing and he's good at it, don't hate.
Robertus Broadlygoat I’m the same as you with a lot of Aitch’s tracks but he has made a couple I’ve liked, such as I’m Gone which you mightn’t have heard, different to his usual forced flow
3:56-4:05 : Dave mentions three painters 1. Picasso, "how could he draw me out if he don't know what art is, I'm Picasso" 2. Van Gogh, "nothing but red paint when the van goes" 3. Andy Warhol (painter of pop art), " I don't make pop art also and these kicks that I wore hold up"
I think people can’t comprehend these bars. UK is full of hype lovers and drill bashers. But this is what I call bars. Way too smart for a normal human to even process these bars
I still get goosebumps listening to this. Penmanship is on a different level.... Keep sharing to everyone you know. The world need to listen to this. They are missing out.
people refuse this. facts. wretch is the greatest lyrist i ever heard. but because hes from this era...well.. people still try convince me 2pac n biggie are the greatesr RAPPERS ever, when clearly, as rappers, werent, and were surpassed by others.
@@whatscookinginthekitchen8520 they were good in their era. And their music will forever live on. But wretch should be mentioned in these conversations more often for sure
So 700k views on this video sums up the era we are in greatly, when it comes to talking everybody wants the real hiphop and bars to return to the scene but when soneone talented like avelino and dave actually delivers there is no reward to their hussle all the same time a mumble rapper gets like 60m views easy so dont nobody cry about the quality of music anymore you get what you deserve
"Imagine if we never imagined this Imagine if our imaginations couldn't fathom it Imagine if the butterfly effect was a caterpillar in the Garden of Eden by the tree where the apple is" - Avelino 2019
Once again raised the bar, ur lyrical ability has just got better through the years, in a 40yr old dude that listened to hip hop since '93 the early days of Nas, Big L, Biggie, Big pun, etc...seems everyone was 'big' something back then and now seems everyone in the states is 'lil/little' something but if judged on lyrical talent the old timers are by far the best lyrically and creatively so I lost interest in hip hop for years in mumble rap crap era but after hearing ur tunes u turned me back on to hip hop and was an amazing sight seeing all these UK artists now killing it lyrically world wide. Thanx to u and, wretch of course, for making me a believer again and helping discover a whole new rap game. Banging tune and luv ur delivery and the video was excellent as well...great job all round...so looking forward to ur album dropping!! Take care and peace bro 👊💯
Av -you are the best MC in that rap game the way you write punch line, poetry, bars, wordplay in Uk and possible in rap game.... 👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥👍🏾👌🏾I feel it ✌🏾✌🏾
The way I think about it is that he talks about the journey from the bottom to the top. He talks about Caterpillar and butterflies(Cateepillar turns into Butterflies) so maybe its referring himself to Cassius Clay and he gonna become Muhammad Ali. Avelino is 200 IQ and the dept of his lyrics is ot easy to figure out sometimes. Dont think he would call Muhammad Ali for Cassius Clay.
My friend, he is saying as a rapper he is a young Muhammad, he's saying that he is in the Cassius Clay phase of his life...Soon to mature into the Ali of rap...Only respect and admiration is given, trust
Imagine if we never imagined this? Imagine if our imaginations couldn't fathom it? Imagine if the butterfly effect was a caterpillar in the Garden of Eden by the tree where the apple is? That's one of the best verses I've ever heard.
It makes me so grateful to be the generation that that gets to listen to dave in all his glory as he rises to the top and stays there, hands down the best rapper of are generation and no one could beat him at what he's best at, his lyrics have meaning and give satisfaction to all of us listening and I just want to express how lucky I am to be a fan of this great artist, he is for sure one of the greatest of all time.
Tuning in from Trinidad 🇹🇹. How is this song not on a milli ??? Avelinoo you are a absolute poettt broooo! Keep up grind , in god you will shine. Must've been you Shakespeare got his skill from

He's not a pop artist. Don't believe he's underrated cause everyone that knows him knows how good he is. Just underappreciated . Arguably best uk lyricist after lowkey
Thank you so much for the love everyone, it’s all appreciated
thank you for blessing the world and our lifes with your bars and genius, timeless track
Avelino you the truth bro!!! Much love!!!
you deserve it G..thanking YOU.
Massively underrated song here, it's almost like lyricism is not what the masses want because it isn't easy listening
Your a jedi in your craft 💯👌
Avelino is the most underrated artist in the UK‼️‼️

it's ridiculous, avelino is 100% underrated, as for this song, arguably my favourite avelino verse, top 5 dave verses for sure.
He's only got 4.45k subscribers that's probably why

Like a tour? Playing live in different cities
Exactly g
I love the street wear camera and vibe they have to this video but it would have been cool to see Avelino and Dave actually in the video

Yet man will watch Fredo, who is straight trashhhhhhhhh lyrically.
Avelinos wordplay is unmatched 🙌, hopefully he gets he's roses man....
I reckon this is one of the best UK hiphop tunes ever.
I still get goosebumps listening to this. Penmanship is on a different level.... Keep sharing to everyone you know. The world need to listen to this. They are missing out.

Brilliant track, you both bodied it. Not much more to say other than, thanks for another banger 💯🥇🎶👏👏
Avelino cementing himself as a real artist from UK.
did this come out today? how am I so early it's not like I'm that cool
Sill here yow the word play gets me everytime listening poetry to my ears
erse 1 - Avelino]
Made this happen, I was the cause
Hand me the baton, hand me the torch
Running the game like it's a sport
But all I got in this world is my word and my balls
Says Scarface
GoodFellas learn the hard way
Never had a godfather or my padres, so I went and got some Margielas for my marje
Cause it's been graveyard shifts since I put dad in his grave
Made it out of the maze, I'm in amazement
No haram, I go ham when I pray cause there's no real helping hand when handlin' pain
If God made man in his image, I'ma create
I'ma be great, mi casa, su casa, Cassius Clay
Rumble in the jungle, I'm from the land of the brave
Souls in the sea, I rode in the deep, now with the wave, yo
Dave, man, I still remember conversations
About awards and their invalid validations
I got the world in my hands, that's world domination
Man, I'm not pop just popping into the population
I got dreams and ambitions, people that listen
Love the fans cause all I had was fiends and a kitchen
I'm in Dior, guess I'm preachin' in Christian
My pockets deep but my jeans full of riches
Descendants of a king, I got people who depend on me, the penance of a king
My teacher mentioned credit, never said it was a thing
Why you think the mortgage lender isn't lending her a thing
From a real estate to real estate
Made sure I ate with my niggas before the dinner dates
I had so much on my plate, now I'm eating like a king, had to work like a slave
Imagine if we never imagined this?
Imagine if our imaginations couldn't fathom it?
Imagine if the butterfly effect was a caterpillar in the Garden of Eden by the tree where the apple is?
I'm way too talented
To still be in the sticks where there's javelins
I'm Olympic on Mount Olympus' peak
At the top it's only us, I'm with my G's
But I ain't gotta be high, there's higher powers than me, it's AV
I fell asleep and spoke to MJ
And he told me to heal the world, make it a better place
Red jackets in my ends, it's the end days
Why you think I'm rollin' with trendsetters that set pace?
Grew up in a race
Where the races are places where they wanna replace us, I'm patient but then I'm impatient, God's grace has been ever so gracious
Something to say but I'm the saviour cause I'm in the Matrix, an alien cause I'm in a spaceship, I saw my niggas on slave ships
I remember tellin' Whitney, "You're my queen"
I was selling Bobby New Edition on my street
Feds were taking pictures, taking pictures of my team
But I saw the bigger picture, the depiction of my dreams
It was nightmares where we lost Mo and Leng
Had the nigga feelin' outta place at his home address
I'm the first nigga with insomnia who overslept
I paid 70 in taxes, it don't match what I owe to them
Man, it's crazy
Lately I see a lot of man tryna play me
I ain't an escort but it's fuck you, pay me
Déjà vu every time that I get a break, G, I used to visualise my reality in a daydream
Dream to be happy, are you happy with a dream team?
Full of happy niggas, are you happy with your team?
How many men are talented and ended up on the street?
You didn't act on it, now he looks unhappy with the scene
Seen, I mean Happy Halloween
Me and the team branched out from selling leaves
If my life was a film, the title on it's release would have to be, "Just Read This One Incredible Scene"
I ain't had a break since the peddle bike in my teens, so I wouldn't lose sleep if you couldn't sell me a dream
I'm tighter than these guys, it's all lies that they're feeding
The seeds of deceit grew the tree in the treason and no reason for the way that you living, make a decision
I hate mediocrity, last dream I had I saw Socrates
He told me he believes in my philosophy
I just do numbers, I ain't waitin' on the lottery (nah)
I'm the best on the scene
The only thing that follows when your mentioning me
Man invest in a girl when interested but she ain't invested if she don't say invest in your dreams
You invest for your queen, I invest for the queen
There's a big fucking difference
When I was 18 I was six-figure nigga trigger happy, I'ma killer
For dinners we ate livers and corn beef
I work in silence, my touch Midas, yes
Colourism is real but don't let 'em divide us
We're all blacks tryna run our own race in our own way feeling pressure from our own race
Strugglin' to relate
In a black man's eyes, I see pride, see pain
See joy, see days of hardship
You wanna be black but you don't know what dark is
You want our blood but you don't know what heart is
How could he draw me out if he don't know what art is, I'm Picasso
Diss me and man know, it's kidnap
Nothing but red paint when the van goes
I don't make pop art, also and this kicks that I wore hold up
I had a tough upbringing and hard days, I saw those
Weight on my chest, only right I got a tore soul
Be happy for me, I'm happy to see, I happen to be the only one that made it happen for me
As a child I saw loss and now I'm a man in defeat
Outstanding, I snap at something when I stand on the beat
Thank god people are keeping this kind of music alive!

why is Avelino so underrated man kmt
He's not a pop artist. Don't believe he's underrated cause everyone that knows him knows how good he is. Just underappreciated . Arguably best uk lyricist after lowkey

“My teacher mentioned credit, never said it was a thing
Why you think the mortgage lender isn't lending her a thing” 💜🎶

This track is one of the best I’ve ever heard from the UK. I just wish Daves voice was a bit louder.
I just wished that Wretch 32 was on this
This track is a masterpiece like 4/5 tracks in one. Seriously people only sleeping on this tune coz they in shock 😱😨😰🥵🥶
This could just be the best release of 2019.
