He’s 23 and has taught me to learn history that was never taught at school. I’m a 49 year old Scottish woman and I am so happy for the reaction this is receiving in the US. He is astounding ❤️ thank you I’m sure he will only educate more by your video x
Im a 52 year old Irish Iranian woman from south london and this young man has got my attention. Truth in any art form hits you in the face and it never leaves. I love this kid.
One thing (among many) that I love about Dave's talent is that when he was younger he was going through a really rough time, his brother had been sent down for life, he was suffering with depression etc - so as an outlet he taught himself piano. People always drop mad respect for the fact he can play piano, but when you find out he is self taught - mind blown.
I was at the Brits when this was performed, it gave me chills! Nothing else on the night compared. Dave stole the show and really put the spotlight on some serious problems within the U.K. Excellent reaction video.
The whole last part when he stood up was extra, he knew he had a chance and a platform to say something and he took it! The Brit awards is like your Grammies or oscars, it has the whole country watching 👏
One thing, this performance was legendary, the brits is basically the grammies but in the uk! So the fact that he called out the prime minister is crazy
I love this reaction.. You didn't interrupt too much. You went back a few bars, after commenting; so you could re-hear his verse making sure you didnt miss anything. And you just got it and got how sick he is!! This song/performance is massive in UK - I dont get how it hasn't exploded globally or even just in the US??? weird.
I keep watching these reaction vids, because I love seeing the truth told and how good Dave is, its one of the best Brit performances ever. Its a master piece.

This is the kind of art that artists should be dropping instead of rapping about selling drugs and beefing with each other. The time is perfect for change, for uniting against discrimination. More and more white people are standing beside our black cousins and rejecting racism and discrimination. I definitely am. I'm so glad my parents taught me to treat people how you want to be treated, being kind doesn't cost a penny.
The only difference between this and the actual music video is the live has an extra verse when he called out Boris Johnson our prime minister for being racist Don't worry Dave's appreciated here he won a brit award (uks equivalent to a Grammy) for his album psychodrama And yeah your right he plays the piano and makes his own beats Also this performance got over 200 complaints fucking ridiculous
All true although, as you would expect from talent like Dave, there are messages in the form of the cameo's in the video. They are all British so may not mean too much to an American audience. The video is so worth watching.
i have never heard anyone say a bad word about Dave and its great. i also love how everyone mentions him playing the piano when you watch one of these reaction videos

There is so much English music for you to go back and cover, I look forward to seeing what you put out over the weeks and months.

Also Jack merrit the guy he's talking about helped his brother out in jail and was all about rehabilitation but he passed away in the london bridge terror attack rip Grenfell was a tower that burnt down and killed lots of people just because the builders and government wanted to save money on cheap cladding, and afterwards they didn't offer good enough housing for the victims who lost their homes
Amazing song by an amazingly talented artist. That's before you even go into the performance and the staging & using such a big stage to speak such powerful TRUTHFUL words.
I absolutely loved the way that ever time Gave dropped S bar you looked like someone just slapped you around the face. I was listening to hip Hop in the 80's when all around me were metal heads or Ska/ Northern Soul junkies, and it did the same to me back then. You have a new subscriber, Sir. From a forty something white dude in the U.K
Oh shit I forgot, if you are loving UK shit, then check out Aitch.. Pronouncedlike the letter "h". Straight Rhymes first, then all his other shit. Respect.
lol thanks for the support my guy from a 30plus year old black Spaniard from NYC lol ohh and i wish i could have seen aitch shit on cam but i saw that before i made my channel!!
bruh, you know your instinct wasn't to pause and comment on this shit. Doesn't hurt to just sit and take it in, fuck the views. This deserves a reaction AFTER the fact.
He’s only 23 he writes , plays, produces his own beats and directs his videos now, check out question time, panic attack, psycho, heart attack & drama, he’s lost his older brother too that’s what dramas about
Akala is a genius He was talking about white privilege over a decade ago. He calls it immigration insecurity the way he puts his thoughts together is fascinating a true poet and real scholar of history
Dave is amazing!! Love from the U.K. you should react to Juice WRLD artist from Chicago also insanely talented one of the best freestylers to have ever lived
David Merritt, Jack Merritt's father speaking only days after Jack was stabbed to death in the terror attack. "My son, Jack, who was killed in this attack, would not wish his death to be used as the pretext for more draconian sentences or for detaining people unnecessarily. R.I.P. Jack: you were a beautiful spirit who always took the side of the underdog. Jack lived his beliefs, He held me to a high standard; he would have expected me to say this, and would have pulled me up had I not! He was an exceptional young man, and I'm only finding out the half of it now he's gone. I don't feel inspirational, but Jack was."
So, I watched a documentary, lastnight, on Netflix. Was about Notorious BIG and while I was only about 11 or 12 when he was in his prime and I’m from U.K. and obviously wasn’t into rap music, I really really really like his music. He’s rhymes and flow was crazy. It’s funny because when I was 18 or 19 my girlfriend bought me a bunch of U.K. Garage Vinyl from Local underground Record Store and along with the U.K. Garage, she also bought me Notorious BIG Big Pappa. I remember playing and loving it, remembered it’s from 1 of those Ghetto Gangsta movies, maybe Boyz In The Hood Or Menace To Society but as I wasn’t really into rap, back then, I never looked up any more of his music. I got into rap , around 20. I’m gonna go ahead and check out Biggies Albums. I think Documentary said he released 3, any1 know if they all good? If so, I’ll buy em all. Damn shame he died at age 24. He would have been about 10 years older then me, if he was alive right now. Was he involved in gang shootings etc? All the Documentary touched on, was his journey in music and selling drugs. He didn’t seem like a shooting type. He seemed like what he was, a really cool slick guy that could rap his arse off.
You was meant to start on his older shit and watch his come up, you skipped to the end of your journey hahahahaha WHAT! enjoyed the reaction regardless! i guess you can go backwards now like a prequal hahahaha

Dave is our modern day Shakespeare. I've said it already. Comparable sonnets.
dave is a problem for real glad i finally am hearing this dude
His work will be studied by kids in school one day. Fully believe that. He’s a musical genius.
I think as a lyricist Wretch is closer to that role but Dave may be a better artist
@Ib Ibsem Thats the best description anyone can give.
