a lot of people think Ed is the generic pop star, but he really started out around the UK Grime scene, some of his first performances were at rap venues. he was out here with rifts everything from rap, reggae and dancehall blowing the crowd away with nothing but a guitar. he's someone who genuinely loves and appreciates the culture
the "half a billi on the divide tour" is potentially one of the biggest flexes in all hip hop. That's such a big number. Most flexes are talking about millions or maybe 10s of millions of dollars. This is so much more than that. It's wild.
Jaykae - toothache is a no brainer if you want to listen to a bit of him. Also would probably be a good idea to go and look at some of Ed's early SBTV sessions with Devlin and his sessions, you'll get more of an idea how Ed came up in the grime era alongside some big names
You gotta listen to "you need me, I don't need you" from Ed. The track was evolvong with him over the years and it's even more amazing live. You can hear the rap influence from day 1
Awh man that must be 10 years ago remember trying to learn the patois part passing around a spliff with a few the lads 🤣🥲 Thanks for that pal completely forgot about that
Ed has been around the hip hop/ rap community for a LONG time I love how people have slept on his bars and his ties to artists you'd never expect. He did a whole album with yelawolf that was absolutely fire imop. And there's a whole bunch more out there to.
i was gonna say something a long these lines, the amount of grief ed got for doing tracks like this...people saying that's not him and he shouldn't be doing it not knowing his roots are there.
The Slumdon bridge is a 🔥 album it was made before Ed blew up yela even said he probably wouldn’t of worked him if he heard his music before they recorded the album
Ed Sheeran loves music, period. He's done tracks with opera singers, metal core bands, Beyonce, grime artists, folk singers. People also sleep on how many songs He's written for other artists. He's like the new Prince....nobody really realizes how multifaceted they are.
YOOO SCRU! Ed has been a rapper since the beginning when he used to busk-rap, you have to see "You need me i don't need you" by ed , it's a masterpiece
Ed Sheeran - You Need Me I Don't Need You on SBTV was his first track that put him on the stage. His style switching on that track is definitely a testament to his versatility out the gate. Worth a reaction for sure.
Someone already mentioned it, but “you need me, I don’t need you.” That’s the song to check out. Especially the “live at Bedford” performance. It’s fire 🔥
i first heard ed as a kid like 2008 or something he always rapped he's been an all round songwriter musician. watching him blow up like he has is amazing just a quiet kid from south england big-up
Aitch is very smooth, cute/sweet and pretty laid back. And he's young! His lil sister recently passed away (he sings a song Lil G or something about his sister who had down syndrome).
Ed and Stromzy are a crazy combo! I NEED TO SEE YOU REACT TO "TOBE NWIGWE | AT THE CRIB FEST PERFORMANCE 2021" BEST performance I've seen in a long time!!! Keep going Scru! 🔥
Bro Ed has done so much for uk grime and rap scene. He done freestyles on some of our biggest underground platforms. watch Ed Sheeran - SBTV you need me
@@alinac5512 i think he originally released you need me i dont need you on SBTV and then after it blew up he went and did his live room for it, hes done a few things on SBTV he was super close with jamal edwards (RIP) who ran the platform
@@joehicks929 I think the best "you need me I don't need you" version is the live room one so I think Scrub should do that and from sbtv he should do eraser.
Rap battle between ed sheeran and Devlin. That is something special, look it up dude. Having drinks after a show rap battling, freestyle with the guitar

You def got to do more Jaykae. Toothache, Heartache, Hoods Hottest, Shush (his Wiley and Dot Rotten diss). His fire in the booth is pretty good too. Love the UK reactions keep them coming 🇬🇧
ed sheeran's old OLD stuff was rapping, but he never really gained traction until he started out with that 'a team' stuff. he's always given space on his platform for the young gun boys from the UK to get their deserved time behind the mic. but on the reAL... fk yes to ed sheeran supporting and giving an ✨ AUTHENTIC ✨ platform for these grime and rap artist to flex and lowkey destroy the american rap game. this is such a good mix and aitch EATS every beat you give him i swear down, if you havent you MUST hit up aitch and ay tracey - rain, and aitch's track - make it shake
Toothache by Jaykae is a must fr, its a classic. If you're struggling with the strong brummie accent bring up the lyrics, don't let it go over your head🤣
Yeah Scru you need to check out You Need Me I Don't Need You by Ed. Either the live room, or it's at the start of his live in Dublin set. Also would love to see you react to Own It by Stormzy feat Ed & Burna Boy for a bit of a style change up
Always love your reactions bro, and can see you’ve been suggested it loads on this video already but I’m also looking forward to you reacting to “You need me I don’t need you” live room. I’ll keep my eyes peeled 👀 🔥
Also I could be wrong about this, but I’m sure Ed once said in an interview he used to rap Eminem songs and that helped him get over his stuttering, so Ed and hip hop have always been a duo
Jaykae - toothache that's has to be the next jaykae track you do!!! And big up Ed sheeran most versatile artist going put him on anything he makes it bang!
listen to Ed Sheeran and Russ - Are You Entertained and Ed Sheeran - Eraser you'll love these songs Scru, 100% fucking percent. Ed also started off in the grime scene. He shifted to pop once his songs started blowing up a little but he stayed in touch with Grime throughout.
I know its a late comment and you probably wont see this, but you shouldve reacted to the version of this song with just Ed and Mike. It has a second verse from Ed which in my opinion is some of the best lyricism and flow hes ever done

Fax, he was Einer Bankz before Einer Bankz except for Ed can rap and sing aswell lol.
RIP Jamal edwards for giving him these gigs n making him the artist he is today
Even after his blow up his rap popped up now and again the example that come to mind is you ned me man I don’t need you.
I just like that he does whatever he wants. He doesnt stay in a box. Hes himself.
facts, used to kill it with Devlin too
the "half a billi on the divide tour" is potentially one of the biggest flexes in all hip hop. That's such a big number. Most flexes are talking about millions or maybe 10s of millions of dollars. This is so much more than that. It's wild.
yeah Ed's last world tour grossed 750M, so he could have flexed a lot more lol
500 Million GBP
Man makes fucking BANK
The fact that they made the line "She wants Aitch, Aye, Jaykae make a lot o' P" to sound like H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P will always impress me
Nice
Damn didn't even pree that
@The Yorkshireman Reacts no, it's not deep but it's cool
inspired by chicken shop date
I was today years old
Jaykae - toothache is a no brainer if you want to listen to a bit of him.
Also would probably be a good idea to go and look at some of Ed's early SBTV sessions with Devlin and his sessions, you'll get more of an idea how Ed came up in the grime era alongside some big names
100% Jaykae - Toothache is a must!!!!
Toothache, pull up, Moscow and on top are all granted a nuts reaction from scru
Toothache is straight 🔥🔥🔥
Toothache a defo, moscow is 10/10, headache is also a bop
Heartache too
You gotta listen to "you need me, I don't need you" from Ed. The track was evolvong with him over the years and it's even more amazing live. You can hear the rap influence from day 1
The live lounge version is epic.
sbtv version the best
Sbtv version Is best fact if you followed ed before he made it you would agree
@@DeterminedFC sbtv and that track was where i first hear ed pop off. the album release he did wasnt as good as sbtv one
Awh man that must be 10 years ago remember trying to learn the patois part passing around a spliff with a few the lads 🤣🥲
Thanks for that pal completely forgot about that
Ed has been around the hip hop/ rap community for a LONG time I love how people have slept on his bars and his ties to artists you'd never expect. He did a whole album with yelawolf that was absolutely fire imop. And there's a whole bunch more out there to.
i was gonna say something a long these lines, the amount of grief ed got for doing tracks like this...people saying that's not him and he shouldn't be doing it not knowing his roots are there.
his first top 40 was staight bars no? he boys with example
The Slumdon bridge is a 🔥 album it was made before Ed blew up yela even said he probably wouldn’t of worked him if he heard his music before they recorded the album
The devlin and Ed sheeran freestyle on sb was legendary Eds been about
I really hope ed goes indie at some point i feel like labels tie him down making music for middle age mums
🎉 bru you wanna see “you need me man I don’t need you” his live one 😉best of Ed Sheehan’s talent and rapping
Exxxxactly
The live room version!!!
Yeah, the SBTV version 👍
Yea thats 🔥 back when he a youngin
idk if that's the one but he has like a rapping session in like a train station..
I forgot how much this bangs! The garage beat gives it a sick energy, big up Scru for reminding about this one
Garage? 😂 it’s Grime they literally say it in the bars ffs
@@dannymason5873 yes the original is grime where those lyrics came from but this is the Sir Spyro remix, deffo a garage beat
Jaykae said from this song alone all of his streams tripled in numbers at least. Ed is a real one
Ed Sheeran loves music, period. He's done tracks with opera singers, metal core bands, Beyonce, grime artists, folk singers. People also sleep on how many songs He's written for other artists. He's like the new Prince....nobody really realizes how multifaceted they are.
YOOO SCRU! Ed has been a rapper since the beginning when he used to busk-rap, you have to see "You need me i don't need you" by ed , it's a masterpiece
There's a version of this song where it's just ed and stormzy going back to back. It's lovely
Ed Sheeran has always been hip-hop from early in his career to now, his roots have always been hip-hop
Yup!! Let's make him react to you need me i don't need you i think he'll go crazy
He is from Ipswich, hardly hip hop. More vulture.
@@damianbrowne847 did u just call Ed a culture vulture?
@@damianbrowne847 bro you clearly don't know anything lmao
@@damianbrowne847 tell me you know nothing about Ed without telling me you know nothing
What I love about Ed is that he'll get on a track with artist less known and give them the space to shine.
Ed Sheeran - You Need Me I Don't Need You on SBTV was his first track that put him on the stage. His style switching on that track is definitely a testament to his versatility out the gate. Worth a reaction for sure.
also unrelated, but you straight see the boys ALL swtched up sharing that neon orange puffer jacket throughout the take its just great lmao
Someone already mentioned it, but “you need me, I don’t need you.” That’s the song to check out. Especially the “live at Bedford” performance. It’s fire 🔥
Yeeees, the EP version!
Nah bro the longer version is better
Just found the video today and I am shooked that I missed on one of the best tracks in the past 10 years
Mate, SBTV performance of 'you need me man I don’t need you'. Your mind will be blown.
Ed started his career in UK Hip Hop/Grime, he's been a part of the scene since early man, don't sleep on man like Ed!
For the Americans specifically Ed started on a channel called SBTV check it out his early stuff is him rapping
i first heard ed as a kid like 2008 or something he always rapped he's been an all round songwriter musician.
watching him blow up like he has is amazing just a quiet kid from south england big-up
Jaykae and ghetts have a song called Mozambique it's lit!!!!
Ed songs to check out
- Are you not entertained
- You need me I don't need you on SBTV
- Ed early songs/sessions with devlin or wretch
Ed is wellllll respected in the grime/hip hop scene over here. He started off with these guys
I wish I could like this video twice. Definitely need more Edd on the channel. You need me I don't need you in the live room. Wow its amazing
You need to here Own it Stromzy and Ed 💪🏻💪🏻❤️
Who remembers, Ed Sheeran - The Nandos Skank 🔥😅
Re watch it again and again….love it👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻🥂🙏
Aitch is very smooth, cute/sweet and pretty laid back. And he's young! His lil sister recently passed away (he sings a song Lil G or something about his sister who had down syndrome).
Ed and Stromzy are a crazy combo!
I NEED TO SEE YOU REACT TO "TOBE NWIGWE | AT THE CRIB FEST PERFORMANCE 2021" BEST performance I've seen in a long time!!! Keep going Scru! 🔥

The vibe in this musicvideo is a whole vibe in itself 🔥
They obviously had fun shooting it 💯
Them moves at the end had me rollin 😂 Super heavy groove in the beat, Ed went crazy on this one 😂
3:30 ‘grows half a billion on the Divide Tour’
ED & Stormzy basically celeb best friends bro! 🤟🏻🥃🇬🇧
Banger indeed! Ed has rapped before check out his nando's skank. Also Jaykae came onto the scene with Moscow I would start there
I know right, my reaction to Ed's rap, I couldn't even notice when I started dancing to the beat 🔥🔥❤️
When I first got onto uk music this was one of my first listened to it for months. We need some more Aitch- Learning Curve is newer crazy video
Ed was in the bits before he blew up, he is well respected within the UK Hiphop/Grime.
I love his old collaborations. Like Ed Sheeran ft. Devlin! Fire! 🔥🔥
ed sheeran has become the ULTIMATE FEATURE. boi can do anything
Jaykae - Toothache is a must it was in power.

Ed’s came up through the grime scene I remember him and Devlin (Grime MC) spitting bars on the street back in the day before he blew up
Jaykae - Toothache 💯 50Cent featured the song on power
Yeah Scru you need to check out You Need Me I Don't Need You by Ed. Either the live room, or it's at the start of his live in Dublin set.
Also would love to see you react to Own It by Stormzy feat Ed & Burna Boy for a bit of a style change up
Always love your reactions bro, and can see you’ve been suggested it loads on this video already but I’m also looking forward to you reacting to “You need me I don’t need you” live room. I’ll keep my eyes peeled 👀 🔥
Also I could be wrong about this, but I’m sure Ed once said in an interview he used to rap Eminem songs and that helped him get over his stuttering, so Ed and hip hop have always been a duo
this 100%
What Ped said ☝️🏴
Now you need to do Stormzy ft Burna Boy & Ed Sheeran - Own It
Scru you gotta react to Ed Sheeran - You Need Me, I Dont Need You(Live Studio) using the loop pedal and rapping too and he got BARS
True say we need that Clavish Daily Duppy and Public Figure reaction
JayKae - Toothache is such a must Scru
The outro on that spyro mix is a belter 🕺
Scru needs to react to Ed Sheeran - "You Need Me, I Don't Need You"
Jaykae - toothache that's has to be the next jaykae track you do!!! And big up Ed sheeran most versatile artist going put him on anything he makes it bang!
The song makes me feel like flying to London town.
Ed is a pop star that can chop and is a metalhead. Dudes got mad tastes
I love how they’re just whipping a $500,000 truck around the mud and dirt like it’s a 2005 Jeep lol.
That dance was an added bonus ! 😆👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thanks -x-
This is the video that triggered Wiley!
Man went crazy on Twitter, those were fun times!
Ed can rap! Check out Ed sheeran and devlin going bar for bar..its gritty and super hype
Best collaboration in time. I’m from London and these lot together are fire 🔥 smooth as fook!… 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ed was huge into Eminem growing up.
He even said that rapping his songs helped him with his stammering issues.
Toothache jaykae pure flames 🔥 love watching your channel bro UK 🇬🇧
Definitely need more aitch reactions!
listen to Ed Sheeran and Russ - Are You Entertained and Ed Sheeran - Eraser
you'll love these songs Scru, 100% fucking percent.
Ed also started off in the grime scene. He shifted to pop once his songs started blowing up a little but he stayed in touch with Grime throughout.
Loving the energy, love the Ed reactions!!!
This beat crazyyyy
Every now and then I come back to this video. One of your best reactions so far
Ed got a ep from 12 years ago with yelawolf called The Slumdon Bridge
As a south Londoner this track always makes me smile 😊
You can see in the clip that ED was having so much fun filming that
Ed Sheeran is a chameleon! His live shows are the best you will see!
Ghetts Ft Jaykae - Mozambique - is a banger trust
Put me on to some new that I didn't know I ever needed! The last 2 Ed songs 🔥🔥
Yeah Ed,s first big hit was him rapping: song " you need but I don't need you"
i heard "sound of the surf" in the background in the beginning and knew it was a Sir Spyro remix dope stuff.
okay your dancing just made my whole day guy!!! big love from Canada. I gotta follow you on Ed Sheeran now
I still like this song till this day! Going to listen to this again 😌.
Ed damn near Scru's favourite rapper by now 😭💯
Ed been rapping. Honestly the closest I’ve seen him go to just fully dive in was his recent verse with Russ on “Are You Not Entertained”. Nuts
You a real one Scru! I hit the comments with this on the last Ed vid and you came through QUICK with it!! Love!
I listen to this soooooo much when it came out.
Heck yeaaah i've been waiting for this one
Jaykae has a song that was played in the TV series ‘Power’ called Toothache
This is the best reaction I’ve seen from anyone in a while… I had no idea Ed Sheeran was a rapper too. This is so cool I admire him even more now.
Jaykae’s fire in the booth is the realest/deepest you’ll hear. Toothache is a classic too.
I know its a late comment and you probably wont see this, but you shouldve reacted to the version of this song with just Ed and Mike. It has a second verse from Ed which in my opinion is some of the best lyricism and flow hes ever done
Ed Sheeran - Take Me Back To London (feat. Stormzy) [Official Lyric Video] ruclips.net/video/ehQcuKhO5n0/видео.html more rap verses from Ed & Stormzy
😂😂 made me giggle that dance at the end tho comedy 👏🏻😂
Jaykae - Toothache his biggest song it was also used in the series power at an iconic scene if you watched that
I recommend watching the interview between Ed and Stormzy from Noisy. Really shows their friendship
Ed has an EP called No. 5 Collaborations Project with grime/rap artists before the fame
Aitch his daily duppy 1 and 2! top notch!
He is a great rapper. Watch you need me I don't need you. He started doing rap.❤️❤️💪🇬🇧
I have had that song on my playlist for weeks
