Wiki is a self-made, fun, honest and talented charismatic artist that has been around since he was a teenager. He has definitely grown a shit ton (couldn’t think of a more accurate description) from Ratking at 17 to his latest work. He’s always busy, works with some of the best and most interesting ‘underground’ artists from NYC to San Jose. Your comment is funny and on point aesthetically. His authenticity and loyalty/love for his New York home is part of his charm. He did not have Kanye, Jay-Z, Puffy, Kendrick or Rhymesayers forcing him down the throats with features. That’s relatively rare these days. As a proud native of the East Bay who has only played tourist a pair of times in NY; I still enjoy hearing about his experience in a city that I have no affiliation with. He’s deserving of Skepta and his look does match the genre quite authentically. Right on 👍🏻 - some white guy in Oakland who listens
Im from the Uk and can honestly say I am proud to see one of our cultural heroes connecting with emerging talent from across the pond. I think its sick that these artists are open minded enough to connect with each other and that Ratking seem to get Grime despite growing up in a completely different environment
I'm not even a big fan of grime but this goes so hard, wikis been doing songs with a few sick artists on his new mix tape, like Jesse James and jadasea, his song with king krule is awesome, hes making moves
Such a bias comment section, most of the bad shit is coming from people who haven't heard of wiki, heard any of his music and are narrow minded to think grime is only limited to british artists, if you don't like it, don't listen to it, your wasting your own time, Wiki fucking kills it on and off this track.
***** From a lifetime's experience, British people just like to complain about everything, including clicking on a 'US remix' and finding an American artist there. Doesn't mean much. Course he kills it, better than a lot of UK MCs
Can't believe I've only stumbled across this absolute gem of a track today! When 2 worlds collide unexpectedly! Honestly couldn't believe it when I seen on my recommended feed "wiki x skepta". Absolutely buzzing bout this no joke 😂
Wiki is a on point representation of New York rap, the mecca of hip hop. "His flow is not on point" isn't a valid reason of calling someone terrible go rob a nigga with a butterknife withchya lame british ass
The fact so many brits are clowning on wikis teeth is soooo funny to me. First Wiki is an amazing MC Ratking is dope and for sure has a UK influence. This might not be Wiki's best verse but it's not Skepta either. Secondly if you follow the internet you know that these Skepta and Ratking have BEEN fucking with each other, there is no putting people on no one forced Wiki on this song. Finally i find it interesting how people are dogging this collabo saying he should collar with this or that, as an artist you can collaborate with WHOEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT! Just like Dizzee did with Bun B and UGK. I trust these guys vision more then some internet dweebs.
As UK lad seeing this when it was released I thought wiki killed it. Was already a fan of his and Droog but still, the amount of shit he's getting here when he smashed it? Really?
+GZUprise He had to do community service and worked on a dump truck grabbing peoples trash. Dont know if thats what he was going for but its possible...
Dont know why all Brits are hating on this.. Ratking are fcking dope and Wiki is raw as fuck and i think is perfect for grimey beats! when have you ever heard americans ripping up grime beats? shit is dope. Ratking are signed to XL recording which is British thats probably why they have collab'd. Music always needs a breath of fresh air. This isnt a biased opinion too, im from the UK. Big up Ratking, intelligent abstract lyrics with gritty raw beats, shits innovative!!!!
Hating on Wiki cos he aint got a double time grime flow seems pretty close minded. The guy approached it at half time and his music is more about the slow-but-aggresive dripped out vibe. I like that he approached the beat so differently. Obvy Skepta's king but u can appreciate Wiki's bit for different reasons and just take it as it is
Bro I love how people have that knowledge of timing. I don't have any knowledge of it at all, I just know what kinda stuff I like, and your knowledge of timing really makes me wish I knew more about what makes me tick when it comes to flow.
People clearly haven't got a clue about how good Wiki is, he's not just some bum off the street. Go and listen to Ratking, their album was one of the best of last year. Educate yourselves.
what colin said, why everyone gotta take sides. i dont like most usa stuff but fuck all this taking sides, WIKI smashes this anyway. big up an american rapper hitting grime..
You should stop commenting shitty things about Wiki. He's good and that's the reason why I'm listening to this. But i respect Skepta. Let's just unite on things and just listen to the music.
Why does everyone presume that Skepta "chose" him.... He could easily have just recreated 8-16 bars and then chop up the original around it. It ain't bad. If anyone chose him it was probably SBTV who put him on it. Anyway, he's cool.... And he's missing teeth because he was born with a cleft pallet and his mom wouldn't spring for the operation.... He says it in his bars if you listen. So I say well done too him, takes courage to stand up as you are and put yourself out there. Well done wiki.
he was not born with a cleft pallet, his teeth got knocked out in a fight, proof: images.complex.com/complex/image/upload/c_limit,w_680/fl_lossy,pg_1,q_auto/uriqgcps5dco2zcmp45m.jpg
Stop talking shit, im from UK and wen the beat dropped and wiki went in it was straight fire he went in fuck collabing with a well known guy skepta is too vintage for tht lool. Wiki went in the track was heavy.
Still one of the greatest UK & US link ups ever
Fair call! I love these two so much
keep coming back for a shaving of the energy, & it'll be eternal. ridiculous link up
As much as I love and have listened to both artists for decades I always thought Wiki sucked on this track...
Skepta took grime to America and found the grimiest looking guy out there to feature.. 😂
+Stonka my brudda looks like ghetts after he spat that bar at sidewinder and got his teeth knocked out
Wiki's verse still fire.
wiki so stiff tho lmaooo

My boy Wiki reps my city to the fullest. Screw a mouth of gold and blood diamonds. Dude is reality.
What makes this even better is the fact that I listened to both these guys before I even game across this, this is dope as fuck.
Same here
yeah wth, i only just found this luul
*came across this

+tyler hinton I'm from the UK by the way
tyler hinton No way!? need to hear that Jesse James colab, haven't listened to the mixtape yet. Thanks for the heads up!
+Blacklava if you like king krule listen to the song seedy
same here
these guys saying 'who's that toothless guy?' need to learn some Ratking. One of the best rappers to come out of NY of late.
open your eyes, wake up
teak0h Wiki*
Instead of bitchin and moanin they can fucking get up
TELL EM
@@jigbizzer said the one listening to skepta 😅

Absolutely, most of these comment are likely from little kids on the mums ipads.
and like dude It would be fuckin dope to meet Wiki as well...
Grime is a British thing

Crazy huh 😂 this is a classic
Man...these were good times... RATKING were great, shout out sporting life, wiki and wherever hak is
💯 and yo i do be wonderin what bro doing. Wiki still absolutely killin it
@@Somethingsomethingmorbid0 Hak started making music again, but on some like singing/acoustic shit, no rapping

+Worash piece offf shhhiiiiitttttt

Both went in.
Wiki a G, him n YOD insane levels of the NYC underground b
dunno what people are saying, wiki kills it
Wiki has the best verse in every track i swear
Facts
Brits hating on wiki is like Americans hating on skepta
Scotland loves Wiki
As UK lad seeing this when it was released I thought wiki killed it. Was already a fan of his and Droog but still, the amount of shit he's getting here when he smashed it? Really?
Gotta share the love
I'm a big fan of Skepta but to be honest I think instead of throwing all of his Gucci in the bin he should have donated it to his local charity shop
he did it just doesnt sound as good to say 'took it to oxfam cos thats not me'
lmaoooo
@@TheJoew1234😂😂😂w😂wwA😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂2d
More New York/London collabs needed in the world.
i respect skepta's humanity. he's like a wounded lion
3:00 Does he say 'Act like a wasteman, yeah that's me' ? lol
+GZUprise he ment that as in getting drunk and wasted i think
+GZUprise I believe he and the other members of Ratking were garbage men at some point in time.
+GZUprise He had to do community service and worked on a dump truck grabbing peoples trash. Dont know if thats what he was going for but its possible...
he means acting like a waste of spunk
+Shulzed (PS3) He doesn't, "Wasteman" is an English term, so in America it would literally mean to be a binman.
Good dental care, that's not me
I hope u aren't an English person saying that lol
AL'S.BEATS the brittish have the best teeth on earth.(we don't in America because dentist charge an arms and a leg and most people are poor.)
AL'S.BEATS Pretty shit stereotype m8 I get free dental care so my teeth are smokin hot
fpsc0and0stuff socialist
=P
John HOlland kek/10 and proud m8
seriously how does WIKI just keep being the hypest rapper ive ever heard in my life
I'm American, and this shit is dope
If you can't understand why this collaboration was genius style wise then you haven't listened to either of them enough, so go listen to more hahaha
Wiki smashed his verse . Respect to Wiki from the UK
The yank went in imo.

"i dont need to fix my teeth, my bitch love me" thats right baby

He ent shit, definition of wasteman
As a Brit, I thought he killed it. Definitely gonna check out more stuff by Ratking.
James Colman that's the joke
The group is called Ratking lol not him.
solipsisticbliss. Anyone saying Wiki sucks is talkin shite. For some reason people can't seem to deal with different styles.
get Danny Brown on some grime
he was on a darq e freaker beat and he said he wants to do something with kahn and neek
yo he would've been wild on this
***** he needs to work with BBK.
***** And he had a song with scrufizzer

what colin said, why everyone gotta take sides. i dont like most usa stuff but fuck all this taking sides, WIKI smashes this anyway. big up an american rapper hitting grime..
Skepta should colab with more American rappers. They would bring the UK and the US together
This is and always has been sick why is everybody slating wiki?
"Incisors and canines, that's not me"

This harrrd
That Teklife in the intro, these guys know

You should stop commenting shitty things about Wiki. He's good and that's the reason why I'm listening to this. But i respect Skepta. Let's just unite on things and just listen to the music.
God damn, Wiki went hard on this.
Full set of teeth, nah that's not me.
WIKI is sick on this track
Full set of teeth nah that's not me!
