Most uk artists are interesting in different matters. There are different flow wise, have great lyrical content and even if they don't have the best topic, which is the case of uk drill, they have great word plays. It's not something rare in the US (unless u only hear mainstream songs) but it's more common in the UK.
Nah. Not one of the best ever. No hate to Dave, love his music and his message and he is really good for his age and has a lot of room to grow...but not one of the best to come out of the UK ever, not yet! Best to come out of the UK ever would be people like; Jehst, Klashnekoff, Chester P, Rhyme Asylum, Triple Darkness, Ocean Wisdom, etc.
People say this on every Dave video but before he blew up these videos didn't even have many views so I guarantee you man weren't all watching them at the time
We pack so much talent our music which has so much influence in it we all decent from other countries in the uk like Nigeria and Jamaica other countries like those so our music is influenced by Afro beats, Reggae, bashment and other tings. Then our word play exceeds the US’s fam as a whole I know there’s Kendrick and J.Cole but those are just exceptions right now, the UK Is consistent. Then what we rap about is real try walking through some parts of London it’s not all posh trust me. Honestly I’m pissed cah our talent is so overlooked, our artists deserve more recognition. But they won’t because the target audience for more recognition is arrogant Americans, forget it man.
You've misinterpreted what the meaning is; he did explain it in this video. "The streets don't love you" was a message he received from a whopper. Dave was just pointing out how this person thinks they are spokesperson for the 'streets'. If anything, Dave was saying it's important to have a genuine imagine so the streets *do* love you.
this song is so meaningful for us londoners because it speaks about the real tensions and issues that happen here. dave is such a massive icon for showing the world what london is really like behind the scenes.
Dave is one of the best out there right now, internationally, it's not just a UK ting... bar wise he's a top 5, Americas so called 'hip hop' scene is heading in a weird direction so artists like dave won't get they coverage they deserve. I'm just glad we got somebody out here speaking some real sense
Big 3 Highlight Productions it’s Uk slang init. Also he’s got a point cah in the Uk he’s rated highly but over there he’s not well known so to u he’s underrated.
Happened to me alie, used it to deal with my depression and literally became a shell, smoking every day. Still dealing with the effects now. If you even think u have problem with stopping, stop urself for a month. If that's difficult then u need to evaluate ur life
This guy has had a more mature head on his shoulders ever since he came in the game as a 16 year old. And he actually raps what he lives. Amazing talent and great guy. He's seen alot
I’m honestly I found out about U.K rap! It’s honestly so refreshing for me coming from the U.S 🇺🇸 where everything is starting to sound the same now! 👌🏽🇬🇧
Hey Genius, just for future reference at 2:54 you wrote ‘mommy’ in the onscreen lyrics but Dave said “mummy”. People from the UK don’t say mom or mommy unless they are repeating American English or they are trying to sound American on purpose. People from the UK say mum, mummy or mother in regards to speaking English. You used the American English version which is incorrect in this case. You may hear artists or people use slang for mother like mumzy amongst other words but it will never be mom or mommy. It’s funny because this is not the only time American English either adds an ‘O’ or removes the ‘U’... Take the word ‘colour’ for example American English removes the U to make it ‘color’ lol. I hope this bit of information helps you for your future videos featuring UK artists! Respect Genius! 👊😁
No way, a genius video with an interesting artist, with lyrics that actually have meaning
thanks for the support

dami Okoisor definitely better. People hype up the US scene but it's a load of shit compared to what the UK is pumping out
UK scene now is full off bullshit, bunch of wannabe gang.
psycho shell not sure what scene you looking at but most of our artists are really about it, too many frauds in US scene
This man Dave needs more credit from America. Drake even remixed his song so relax boi
He deserves more recognition
ThEyman8 UR a jokeman 😂😂
YMANE we don’t need credit from America. America doesn’t have the credibility to give us credit. We can give ourselves credit. We don’t need America.
@@Idk-dd2gn Dave needs more credit from the world, INCLUDING America, and how does it not have credibility ???

Can’t relate because I don’t watch the show :(
Man watched it but that bar slipped right through me
dave's a future GOAT . the next kendrick level rapper
Please dont compare him to Kendrick ffs
Don’t compare him to fucking kendrick
Don’t compare Kendrick to Dave. Daves miles ahead and is already the goat
Let’s not compare them too very different artists but both brilliant GOATS
Dave is from the streets an Kendrick is a idek
Out of every UK artist. I think Dave has the most potential to become a global artist.
Stormzy too but he somewhat has still
Dave underrated af 🔥
Big 3 Highlight Productions no he ain't
Patrick Da don shut up boy 😂 and ain't isn't word
Big 3 Highlight Productions it’s Uk slang init. Also he’s got a point cah in the Uk he’s rated highly but over there he’s not well known so to u he’s underrated.

Age doesn’t equate to wisdom. He isn’t an old man in an 19 year olds body.

Everything Dave releases I absolute adore, love this guy.

Yes Dave
I can see Dave going outa the uk and blowing on another level
The fact he's talking about its gangster to have a legal job that helps your family is deep
"the world shouldn't know what everyone thinks"
Dave music is unique in compare to other London artist that's what makes him stand out 💯💯💯
