When he messed up on the show I was like, "NOOOOO!" he can't go home yet! But when T.I. said that even with his mess up he was the best, I said HE GOT THIS! So happy he won! He deserved it!
i dont even think profession artists in the industry know how to recover the way he did. the way he pulled the crowd back and got the energy strong af. i knew he won that shit.
Old Man Saxon was so great. I read an interview where the judges said they honest to god tried to get them both through- and send another pair home- but the lawyers were like 'no.' Shame because Saxon I would have LOVED to see more from on the show.
thats what makes this show great. the judges made the decisions on who got voted off. i think saxxon won that battle with smoke but i think the judges knew dsmokes potential and kept him in where any other show that allows fan voting and all that i think it would have been a different story. as far as the final four too... i think those last four truly were the best four on the show but if it was left to fan voting i could see the top four being different. more shows should not let fans vote.
I just get EMOTIONAL when he performs - - he is just that good. And he's put out excellent content and videos since, clearly he made the most out of the opportunity.
*I like his humbleness.. he is sooo talented. Not one arrogant bone in this man.* *He can song write really good! Rhyme scheme is intricate, great storyteller. He can speak fluent Spanish and play instruments.. He's just* 🔥🔥🔥
I love Chance reaction to greatness... I can tell he is very confident in his own artistry that’s why he celebrate in another mans gift. Love 💕 that. He’s a real one 💯
He was my favourite from the start, he deserved to win. I feel like TI was intimidated by him, he was confronted with a man who was actually intelligent rather than just pretending to be.
I don't think TI is intimated at all Sista! He's one of the Executive Producers of this show. I think it displays one of the most unselfish acts by black celebrities. Reaching back and bringing opportunities for unknown artists like DSmoke that otherwise are not there. Let's break the chain and stop the self-hate. I'm much older than TI and have a lot of respect for the brother. I've watch him change his life, made some mistakes like we all do, but learned from them, realized his blessings and now are blessing others. Black Power on display!! !
Actually I think there’s a lot of similarities between them. TI is also “Storyteller” he might have been trying to see is Real or is Memorex. But in the end he and Cardi, and Chance let him through!
This video was terribly put together lmao the performances should’ve been in chronological order... You missed out on some of the most important parts lol
I knew he was going to win, I am so happy to see a unique talented person get what he worked so hard for. His last performance was out of this world. D'smoke you have earned a fan since the begining, I love your honesty and humbleness. You r going to change the world, keep it up!! I can't wait to be able to put your music in my playlist.
If y'all watched this on Netflix, Snoop kept askin him “where u from homie" and his response was “inglewood, California" but than later at end of his freestyle wit his group he let u know exactly where he from💯💯
I missed if someone could please explain this part as I love the show but miss out on a lot of the cultural aspects having not grown up around it 😭 . What does the question: "where you from?" Really mean?
Wiseacres where you from is what homies in the hood say to another homie out in the street when they’re trying to find out which gang they’re part of. Snoop asking where you from he could’ve responded with something like, “Hoover street crips” or “Bompton” Lol I didn’t watch the show so idk what he said at the end of the performance but what I take from him saying Inglewood means he was representing his city and not gang affiliated.
I only shed a tear for two artists that ever won a competition. Fantasia and D Smoke!! I was rooting for him since the first performance. He has so much Depth. He said it best! "I'm about something". we see you D Smoke!
Best reality show concept with no censorship. Netflix, please keep the same formula, don’t change it, it works!! It kept me watching and I wasn’t bored. Being originally from NY and was at the infancy of hip hop, I was throughly entertained with this show and I’m now 50! I felt in the beginning that D Smoke was going to be a finalist, but his finale song was fire, I’m ready to buy the single right now! Hurry up and clear the sample pleaseeeee!
Since rhythm and flow ended I’ve listened to Inglewood EP everyday. I haven’t been this hung up on an artist in a long time. I really hope he goes far ❤️.
D Smoke....you are ALL of THAT! I've watched you over and over and this is my first time reaching out and I really appreciate you my BROTHER, so refreshing and true. Just wanted you to know.
This dude was really a substitute for Spanish and choir classes at Inglewood stayed energetic for both classes and acted liked a teacher never once let us slip up and do nothing really interactive dude talking real shit 💯
When he won, Chance gave him the best advice, “$250,000 non-contractual, invest in yourself. Don’t sign to any label, Chance has been flourishing amazingly with no label.
Ariel Hammock but chance had a privileged upbringing that others can’t afford to do. I’m not saying D Smoke can’t. I’m saying Chance is telling everybody they shouldn’t sign, but some people need that advance to feed their kids. Chance isn’t the model. He’s an exception
Smoke, you are the shiznit. I watched the whole series and you killed from the start. It was not only your flow but your attitude. Your family is beautiful and so (I pray) is your future in rap.
Everything he did just made so much sense. And last supper for the finale was just genius! Especially with the piano play in the beginning to get the audience focused in on him then he turnt it up! Man I’m so happy for him.
I literally cried twice on the final round😭 I knew D would win but I was soooo sad for everyone else. I wanted to see what Saxon would progress to. They should do a show where they have more rounds and less cuts. I feel like it’ll be more fair
Just saw D’smoke on Despierta America in a interview ¡WOW! what talent!!! Great to see someone to say truth about life in music and specially in Spanish too. He’s also a teacher, ¡WOW! Great to have someone like that/him for kids to look up 2! Good luck in all that U do ♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
Dude was my favourite in the first round and he didn't disappoint. Love his sound. Also Old man saxon could have gone all the way to the finale if he went against anyone other than smoke or maybe flawless in the battle round
This guy better have a good management. This is what the black culture has been waiting for in hip hop.
YESSSSS
The Game has plenty of that ..but another one not gonna hurt tho 💯💪
He was fire the entire series
@Ngozi Ukairo
When you put " Black " in that sentence is just wrong man. Don't separate us. We all one people.
Sparta Lee you obviously don’t know what he’s talking about, his talk his people, not everybody
I was rooting for him the whole time but I wish old man Saxon would've went further in the competition
Same he had too much style and personality to not at least get a music video
kingraj333 I got heavy earl and mf doom vibes by Saxon
the show was too small for him and old man sax this is why they put them together in the battle
if Ol man sax has lost against the winner of the competition it means a lot
I totally agree bro 👊👌💯
He has a true musical and artistic talent.
When he messed up on the show I was like, "NOOOOO!" he can't go home yet! But when T.I. said that even with his mess up he was the best, I said HE GOT THIS! So happy he won! He deserved it!
i dont even think profession artists in the industry know how to recover the way he did. the way he pulled the crowd back and got the energy strong af. i knew he won that shit.
BOTH OF YOU - well said, like I couldn’t have said it better!
Old Man Saxxon is dope too and I'm glad he lost to Smoke rather than anyone else.
Extra big facts those 2 was the only ones I was rooting for besides flawless
Old Man Saxon was so great. I read an interview where the judges said they honest to god tried to get them both through- and send another pair home- but the lawyers were like 'no.' Shame because Saxon I would have LOVED to see more from on the show.
I would've scratched caleb to keep saxon around.
Robert Davis absolutely
thats what makes this show great. the judges made the decisions on who got voted off. i think saxxon won that battle with smoke but i think the judges knew dsmokes potential and kept him in where any other show that allows fan voting and all that i think it would have been a different story. as far as the final four too... i think those last four truly were the best four on the show but if it was left to fan voting i could see the top four being different. more shows should not let fans vote.
I hope he stays around and doesn't fade away. HE'S TOO TALENTED TO FLOP😭
Gabriel Soto That would mean the devil is real lol
Gabriel Soto I sometimes wonder do you think Kendrick sold his?🤔
He seems too driven for that
He has a whole music career now
GRAMMY. NOMINATED. DEBUT. ALBUM.
“Best of d smoke” shows every scene he was in... what a legend 💯
Except.the Miguel verse
Juan Yambao true that sucked they didn’t show it 😒
We need an official release of ‘when the kids pull up’, although he messed it up, that was my favourite song of his on the show.
It's released! Just search for a video called "D SMOKE “WHEN THE KIDS PULL UP”/ “WESTSIDE” OFFICIAL AUDIO “RHYTHYM + FLOW” FULL SONG!!"
It's fire
They already did
vincesayshello thanks! I didn’t know that. However, still need it on Spotify as well haha
It's on spotify, it's called let migo
I have to laugh every time at Chance going “He going crazy yo. This primetime television yo” but he right
IbokRock811 yes me too!
Lmfao same
I love chance Lil part for real
I still get chills from watching his "When The Kids Pull Up" and "Last Supper" performances.....sooooo good!
I just get EMOTIONAL when he performs - - he is just that good. And he's put out excellent content and videos since, clearly he made the most out of the opportunity.
*I like his humbleness.. he is sooo talented. Not one arrogant bone in this man.*
*He can song write really good! Rhyme scheme is intricate, great storyteller. He can speak fluent Spanish and play instruments.. He's just* 🔥🔥🔥
Multitalentedness on point
Eireee17 yesss
THIS is the comment .
Word! Poetry over all!
And bruv can dance lol
Intelligent. Passionate. Real. Attributes we've been missing in mainstream hip hop. Really looking forward in seeing him thrive.
But gucci gang gets hundred million views... what a crazy world.
I love Chance reaction to greatness... I can tell he is very confident in his own artistry that’s why he celebrate in another mans gift. Love 💕 that. He’s a real one 💯
The best of D Smoke = The entire season
From start to finish
Wheres the one with Miguel? That one was 🔥too!
copyright maybe? that song probably cant just be played without it getting claimed here.
Its taken off youtube..have to watch it on netflix..smoke is big time now
Release the music video he made! Also respect to old man saxon. He deserved better.
Abhinav Srivastava its on his page just look for D Smoke
@@kinkywinkyrinkydinky thanks man got it
Abhinav Srivastava Saxon got done too damn dirty man
agreed
He was my favourite from the start, he deserved to win.
I feel like TI was intimidated by him, he was confronted with a man who was actually intelligent rather than just pretending to be.

FACTS
Yetunde Oshati 🤣
This video was terribly put together lmao the performances should’ve been in chronological order... You missed out on some of the most important parts lol
Couldn't disagree more, it's much better mixed and mashed up like this.
E-DUB same
Facts lol
you mean when D Smoke forgot his shit?
Julius Seizure Everyone forgot their shit at one point in the show... You sound like a hater
This is the best music competition show out there. Period.
Big facts
He joining Spanish with English was amazing! This guy is an artist without media! I cheer for him.
@Sirius Fishing 718 calm down brother, you are very nervous! peace 💪🏾
I knew he was going to win, I am so happy to see a unique talented person get what he worked so hard for. His last performance was out of this world. D'smoke you have earned a fan since the begining, I love your honesty and humbleness. You r going to change the world, keep it up!! I can't wait to be able to put your music in my playlist.
He's incredibly talented
Big facts.
If y'all watched this on Netflix, Snoop kept askin him “where u from homie" and his response was “inglewood, California" but than later at end of his freestyle wit his group he let u know exactly where he from💯💯
The best part 🔥🔥
snoop said wtf he said
Where he from? I missed it
I missed if someone could please explain this part as I love the show but miss out on a lot of the cultural aspects having not grown up around it 😭 .
What does the question: "where you from?" Really mean?
Wiseacres where you from is what homies in the hood say to another homie out in the street when they’re trying to find out which gang they’re part of. Snoop asking where you from he could’ve responded with something like, “Hoover street crips” or “Bompton” Lol I didn’t watch the show so idk what he said at the end of the performance but what I take from him saying Inglewood means he was representing his city and not gang affiliated.
He reminds me of Kendrick, similar voices, similar facial looks
Remy Remy yea i hear Kendrick
It’s the Cali in us 🤷🏾♂️
Remy Remy don’t know about y’all but Last Supper gave me Kanye vibes
He is actually afflicted with Kendrick Lamar. His brother have a track out with Kendrick, and he is featured in the video driving the whip. Look it up
CEREBRAL!!! this has been 2 years ago but still thinking of that finale "Last Supper" it really blew my mind
This man belongs on TDE no doubt
I agree, his brother is in TDE too
@@timotheit4 Can Sir speak spanish?
Timotheit4 who’s his brother? SiR?!
chillz261 Yeah SiR is D Smoke’s younger brother
And he sounds like Kendrick too
Yo his flow and rhymes are lit af 🔥 🔥 🔥🔥 🔥
I only shed a tear for two artists that ever won a competition. Fantasia and D Smoke!! I was rooting for him since the first performance. He has so much Depth. He said it best! "I'm about something". we see you D Smoke!
Yooo it never gets old his words and presence..sheesh my body was on fire just watching this..I cant even imagine how electric it was live
Best reality show concept with no censorship. Netflix, please keep the same formula, don’t change it, it works!! It kept me watching and I wasn’t bored. Being originally from NY and was at the infancy of hip hop, I was throughly entertained with this show and I’m now 50!
I felt in the beginning that D Smoke was going to be a finalist, but his finale song was fire, I’m ready to buy the single right now! Hurry up and clear the sample pleaseeeee!
Amazingly talented! Him and Flawless. Definitely need a track together.
David Hardcore they are gonna make a track together d smoke production skills and flawless lyrics is gonna put them on the map 100 percent now
The 4 finalist confirmed they're doing a track together, smoke also has some tracks he doing with the judges
"Pass the blunt like communion...ffff.... I know we friends but jigga Jesus was homies with Judas"..... Give this amigo a platform
Since rhythm and flow ended I’ve listened to Inglewood EP everyday. I haven’t been this hung up on an artist in a long time. I really hope he goes far ❤️.
Ebube Enweani I feel the same way!!
Me too he’s dope
D-SMOKE the BEST MC! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🦾🦾🦾 he's gonna be an ICON for the CULTURE!
This what happens when Kendrick dont make music for a while lol.
Kendrick doesn’t have to do anything anymore honestly
All i could think of was Kendrick (pause) the whole time i watched this.. but homie is nice !
Remember the game needs more kendricks
How yall know this dude didnt write for kendrick at some point. Kdot didnt always have that flow he's got . Just sayin
The universe paved the way for another to rise in the absence of another great one.
D, is a f'n talented genius!
Dsmoke a legend in the making ✊🏾
D Smoke....you are ALL of THAT! I've watched you over and over and this is my first time reaching out and I really appreciate you my BROTHER, so refreshing and true. Just wanted you to know.
Nobody:
Absolutely Nobody:
D Smoke: I’m from Inglewood!
Mighty he just tryna shout out where he from
🤷🏽♀️
This dude was really a substitute for Spanish and choir classes at Inglewood stayed energetic for both classes and acted liked a teacher never once let us slip up and do nothing really interactive dude talking real shit 💯

@@casillasscorer well, he's got 250k. He can afford to not sign now, thus the advice.
Mr. T but he tells that to people who don’t have the 250k too.
He's like a good mix of Kendrick Lamar, J-Cole, and Chance.
I can feel the elevation of our culture on the rise! Thank you to all involved.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.... So true👏🤚🤚
The part where Cardi B said "I know he a Janitor" and Chance was like, "No, man, he a teacher."
Yeah that part
He is the epitome of hip hop. Who else is here before 1 million views?
I'm in here. Your comment is nothing but facts
I don’t usually like RUclips videos but this was an exception! Absolute unprecedented excellence! Well done
This edit of his performance was everywhere. Next time keep it simple in they chronic order. For real.
Bruh can we start a petition for netflix to fix.this editing lol
Moral of the story never judge a book by the cover. Yeah, he looked like a janitor.. Cleaned that whole show up too didn’t he??✊🏿
Y’all real asf for putting underground artists on like this. Shout out TIP, Cardi, & Chance 💯💪🏽
Man i get chills everytime when he starts the chorus after the mess up in "When the kids pull up" .
Recognize greatness at it's early stages..The culture needs him. The judges saw it. Hope the industry doesn't disappoint.
He really is a multi faceted, intellectual beast
D Smoke is 🔥 His Spanish rhymes are equally as 🔥 too
This man has the talent, personality, grit and wholesomeness. I hope that this isnt his peak and he has unimaginable success.
Ahh, so cool @4:47 "Just like Beverly mentioned".. Our Pastor, Beverly 'Bam' Crawford 😍
The Lockhart Perspective ooh cool tell me more! 👀
He was my favourite since the beginning. I saw a star a legend
your new songs FUEGO!!!!!! EL REY!!!! mucho respeto amigo
When you stay ready you don't have to get ready. Dude been working on his craft. He's already seasoned.
👏
D Smoke is the best! I don’t like how they edited his performances tho! That finale should have ran on all together!
They made a real statement by choosing him as the winner. They actually want to find a star , not just a good product for the machine. Respect.
Who here before this blow up?
Meeeee!
How is this guy not blowing up he's top tier I'd like to hear him with kendrick and Cole shit would be legendary
That moment after he forgot his lyrics in when the kids pull up but he brought it back like it didn't even matter was my favorite in the whole series
Kyia Amir exactly it sounded like that really could have been the 2nd verse the way he was humming and in the singing type voice
I wish the released version of last supper had the piano intro.
Live
Smoke, you are the shiznit. I watched the whole series and you killed from the start. It was not only your flow but your attitude. Your family is beautiful and so (I pray) is your future in rap.
If any hood in the world has this kind of teacher that can teach through his talent, the world would be a better place…❤❤❤
"It's safe to say that growth is uncomfortable process"🔥🔥🔥!!!!!!! BRO..... HE'S THROWING THEM QUOTES;!!!!
I knew he was gonna win from the jump! a real talented and genuine artist
By far the best of the competition. Glad he won.
Every. Single. Time!!! I get chillssssssss bro!!
Season 2 NOW!
Everything he did just made so much sense. And last supper for the finale was just genius! Especially with the piano play in the beginning to get the audience focused in on him then he turnt it up! Man I’m so happy for him.
Thank you for this compilation. Love this guy
There needs to be a compilation video of chance reacting to smoke 😂
My man killed it every time, the judges was fans from the jump especially chance
It's been a year and he's been nominated for 2 Grammy's! ♥️♥️♥️
I literally cried twice on the final round😭 I knew D would win but I was soooo sad for everyone else. I wanted to see what Saxon would progress to. They should do a show where they have more rounds and less cuts. I feel like it’ll be more fair
chance was really his biggest fan, but this was terribly out together
No it's Cardi B when he r p she's like ''😵''
Just saw D’smoke on Despierta America in a interview ¡WOW! what talent!!! Great to see someone to say truth about life in music and specially in Spanish too. He’s also a teacher, ¡WOW! Great to have someone like that/him for kids to look up 2! Good luck in all that U do ♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
D Smoke's calmness, his quietness, his strength, his thoughtfulness, his intelligence, his bars, his talent, his commitment, whoa!
I love D smoke. You did that thing on Netflix. To be young gifted and black. Represent! Luv you.
And just like that, a super star was born. Super talented, cant wait to see what the future holds for him
Woah, i like his style
I was rooting for D Smoke from the beginning of the show so I’m glad that he won
My favorite artist of today! Keep it up Smoke!!
You killed it every time!! Amazing. Lots of love & respect from Bangladesh ♥
He’s so cold. All those final performances were so good, we need all these rappers because they are better than what’s supposed to be hot right now
He is crazy talented! His brother SiR is good as well.
yes the best thing y’all ever made, i was tired of scrolling back to my favorite parts lmao
he definitely deserved that win!!
I knew D Smoke Was Gonna Win From The Jump ! 💨💨💨
The piano part... the lyrics were increddddible
Get this man on a track with kdot already
Thias176 Oh I wouldn’t say that there’s still plenty of time. Who knows it might be in the works 🤷♂️ but you’re right about the TDE connection
There sound is way too similar for that.
If I was a judge on this show I would deadass sign him . Period.
the whole point was to not sign the winner
I am here for ALL D SMOKE!!! *Rumble, Young Man, RUMBLE!*
Bruh gave me chills!
When I watched the show he reminded me of Sir & Kendrick, then he said his family was in the building and Sir was standing right there 🤦🏾♀️
Dude was my favourite in the first round and he didn't disappoint. Love his sound. Also Old man saxon could have gone all the way to the finale if he went against anyone other than smoke or maybe flawless in the battle round
Bout to see this dude tonight for new years. First time I even heard him and it's a vibe
HE HARDDDDD💯💯💯💯
