NEW YORKER REACTS TO DAVE FOR THE FIRST TIME (Black live at the BRITs and Hangman)

- Me being from New York reacting to Dave for the first time. Today on UK Monday’s were listening to Dave - Hangman and Dave - Black live at the Britt awards 2020
#UkMondays
Just to let you know, Jack Merritt (the guy mention near the end of the song) worked hard in expanding the programmes for the rehabilitation of convicted criminals, primarily black prisoners, to help them start a better life once they’re released. A terrorist attack happened in London last year and it involved a young man, who was an ex-convict, running round wielding a knife as a weapon. Jack Merritt was stabbed to death by the terrorist. That’s why Dave was honouring him. He worked to help members of marginalised communities in British prisons and ironically ended up being murdered by an ex-convict who was from an ethnic minority group. It’s also important to pick out because Dave is a very respectable and fair artist. He’s never been violent, discriminatory or anti-white or anything like that in his music or his behaviour. He’s very talented for his age and has used his platform to speak mature and justified truths to try and better our society and greatly contribute to our musical legacy.
To add on, he mentions Windrush and Grenfell.
Windrush was regarding a ship of Caribbean immigrants brought to the UK post WW2, offered to come to the UK to help with labour etc. Legal migrants who came in to help out the UK, paid taxes, National Insurance and everything else citizens would do. They then faced deportation wrongly. Elderly people were barred from public services, lost welfare benefits among other thing (some actually being deported). Theresa May (former PM) was Home Secretary at the time, unsurprisingly. Amber Rudd, the next Home Sec resigned over the scandal. Rudd lied about people being targeted for deportation. an independent review found people were wrongly stripped of rights.
Grenfell is a long one. So I'll condense it massively. 72 people died in a very poorly maintained tower block fire. The London Fire brigade had systematic failures and training that enabled more people losing their lives (for example, operators telling people on 999 calls to remain in their home up to 2 hours after the fire broke out). There's an ongoing inquiry into this, so not everythign is known but the design of the building is being looked at as it seems to not be up to standard. Still no justice for the people that have died.
He also knew Dave as he worked closely with his older brother, helping him following a conviction for murder.
@@cpmc5400 that was bad😔 literally no one survived after this fire...
Dave knew Jack due to the work that he did for Daves brother. They knew one a another hence the pain in Daves voice when he sings about him
@@cpmc5400 Just to clarify something, the LFB hadn't had systematic failures. The advice given (stay where they were) was 100% correct to the best of their knowledge, however, the owners of the Grenfell Tower had put cladding on the outside of the building in order to improve how it looked from the outside. This cladding wasn't flame retardant, and due to how it had been attached to the building, it acted as a funnel that allowed what should have been a small, self contained fire, to spread at an intense speed up the outside of the building.
If the cladding was the correct cladding as it should have been, then it wouldn't have spread at that speed and ferocity. I think it's fair that we don't blame the LFB for what happened with Grenfell. Those guys worked incredibly hard to try to put out the fire and save as many lives as possible, but were up against it from the start due to the criminal negligence of the owners of that building.
I personally know two firefighters who were drafted in from neighbouring fire services to support and they're traumatised by it to this day, as are a lot of the fire fighters who attended the fire
Dave is a genius. His album Psychodrama wons the brit award 2020 to the album the year
he gotta react to songs from that album, best music in the UK no cap!
Marvin Adair lets be honest top tear rap globally he’s already catching up to k dot an cole already
Well done
One of the best rap albums I've ever heard. He should react to more from the album, it's amazing and absolutely GENIUS
Talking facts my G
Mate, if you jump down that uk rabbit hole you are in for a big surprise, its absolute fire. Lyrically outrageous, wordplay 1000, crazy flows, trust. Wretch 32 and Avelino fire in the booth, Akala fire in the booth 1 and 4, wretch 32 turns 32 daily duppy and Swiss daily duppy. Your welcome mate, good luck
Thanks for the recommendations my guy‼️✊🏾
Also Akala daily duppy, it's a madness!
Don't forget Lowkey, Mic Righteous, Kano, Little Simz, Ghetts, Giggs, Lady Leshurr, Bugsy Malone, Dot Rotten, Berna, etc, etc.
AKALA Spits real truth
Ocean Wisdom's fire in the booth is next level too
"UK African American activists"
They can't be African American if it's in the UK 😂
In the UK we don't call black people African British
We call them British because calling them African first is implying they're immigrants when they're not
Jesus Christ wow I messed that up, my fault 😭🤦🏾♂️
Yeah I never seen anyone in UK called African British that would be word as hell + they prob would slap them lmao
@@skyesworld6160 that's my we would never say it because it would be disrespectful to them
It’s Black British
Yeh fax
UK rap never lost its love for lyricism thats why we love it
i love how every time he gives his opinion he’s like “nah nah but he’s good to” it’s alright my guy we’re not going to attack you 😂
Lmaoooo I got ptsd from my first UK video 😭
King Lawrence haha nothing but love from the uk my guy.We fck with you.New Sub.Here for your journey 👊🏾💯🇬🇧🇺🇸
Wee tip mate, when you stop to give an opinion, which any good reactor should do, maybe rewind it a bit so you dont miss any bars. Big ups
That’s a fact bro, I noticed I missed a couple bars cause of that while I was editing. Also thank you for pointing that out because I’m striving to improve everyday and constructive criticism only helps me do that
I didn't want to say nothing, but...
LMAOOO
@@King_Lawrence you da man, gd reply bro
@@King_Lawrence You missed the best line at the end lol!
Dave is the chosen 1. He has the gift.
dave is my favourite artist of all time, he's unmatched lyrically
Dave is so young and on top of the uk scene at 22 reacto to black box which is unreal he was 16 at the time
That’s a facts, son is nice🔥🔥🔥 and thanks for the recommendation💯
@@King_Lawrence do his blackbox cypher aswell 16 years old in that too 👌🏼 and question time is another one of his
If you want more Dave try Streatham, his blackbox when he is 16 and L.A. Leakers
*Or any of his songs other then the colab with Drake
Two birds no stones is another one
Proud streatham gurlllll
Fr
Screwface capital is fire
Dave is lyrically advanced, he is not a activist he was bought up on the streets like some of us. only the real ones will know
This song and performance means so much right now.. seeing an American react too it during this time was very emotional. You could see the emotion in his face and feel it. This song means so much right now. Dave is a genius!
Respect ‼️💯
Avelino & Wretch 32 - Fire in the booth BARSSSSS!
Hurd ju‼️ Thanks for the recommendation 🔥
@@King_Lawrence you must react to that . best fire in the booth by far
Kano all day too
The intro is funny asl 😂
Lmaoooo ty 😭😭
Dave is amazing, the fire and truth he speaks are pure and he lit up the Brits. The graphics on the piano were amazing and his performance brought tears to my eyes. I felt every word. Dave speaks to millions and for millions. ❤❤❤
I Can't lie..... I got quite emotional & proud watching Dave perform this live.... Especially the end where he called out the pm & spoke about Jack, who was the young man killed during the last terror attack In London when the reason he was there in the first place was to attend a conference to help make changes to help poor communities! 😔
U are literally under every single video of reactions to Dave lol😭😭
@@xxshanxx4290 no not every single one but I do love watching Americans reaction to UK artists..... It's great to see the UK getting some love for a change! 🤗 x
@@xxshanxx4290 also..... How would you know.... Unless you're watching every single Dave reaction too? 🤔 😂
Jo true true I just seen u a lot. Yh it’s nice that we are finally getting some love
Jo I mean as in the comments lol but I was listening to some Dave songs and the reactions just came up so I just watched them and read the comments💔
I think your mind was blown with Daves performance here. It was absolutely amazing!!
Dave is by far the most talented musician and activist of this day and age. Please give him more credit.
No one has written such truth in such a poetic way; and had the courage to perform it to the world.
Dave is my hero (I'm not black or white though- I'm Kurdish) and we need more people like Dave. To help us fight back with our words; and let our oppressors know we are AWAKE!
Listen to J hus He is a MUSTTTTTT
Thanks for the recommendation‼️
You should definitely listen to more Dave. He’s incredible man fr and has been killing it in every song since he was like 16
J Hus, Mostack, Wretch 32, Rapman, Dave, SL, Cashh, Krept&Konan, Kwengface, Harlem Spartans, 67, Not3s, Ard Adz, Headie One, Tion Wayne, Chip, Yungen, Kojo Funds, Cadet but there’s so many man
Wow, thanks for all those recommendations🙌🏾
Dave: Streatham, Psycho, Environment, Screwface Capital
On god psycho and screwface capital are one of the best tingz to bless my ears
Dont forget disaster or samantha
Check out Rapman or Cadet. Both storytelling rappers from the UK its hard bro. Sadly Cadet passed away last year.. Cadet - behind barz. On of the hardest tracks!
Thanks for the recommendations‼️ and RIP to him 🙏🏾
Innit. Check out Shiros Story 1,2&3 it’s from Rapman but features Cadet on the 3rd one
King Lawrence listen to Advice - Deno & Cadet
Naaaaahhh🤣🤣🤣🤣 You killed me at the start of your video
Your whole face when dave said hangman😂😂 i feel you thoo💯💯 left you speechless
Dave is one of my fave males UK 🇬🇧 Artists
He’s 20 or 21
I get goosebumps every time I listen to black and yess he actually playing the piano 🎹
i have never heard a bad song from DAVE, enjoy the ride
Strap yourself in, you’re in for a wild ride. Welcome to the uk 🙌🏻
Jack was killed in the London terror attack along with others, but it was Jack that helped in rehabilitations for prisoners and helped out Dave when his brother got a life sentence. That’s why it meant so much to Dave because he could see the good in people and not judging them based on skin colour. Great reaction new sub here 🇬🇧✊🏼🇺🇸
Btw the part at the end is a freestyle, and the part where he says about how the news treats Kate vs how they treat Meghan is about the royal family as Kate is white and the news loves her, but Meghan is African American and the news belittles her as much as they could and always brought her race into each new title.
that was just how it was portrayed by the daily snail..... *YAWN* ALL stories about the RF came from Meghans "camp." Thats a fact! She even helped write "finding freedom", something she recently and actively admitted to, cos the court case is coming up. Harry and Meghan profiting their HRH titles, while not actively carrying on with their patronages. And, while still using said titles, making monetary gain, NOT carrying out their charitable work. At ALL. I was her biggest fan when they started their relationship. People just seen through her earlier than I did, by saying things like, "she's a little-known actress, who, at 36 (at the time) wasn't getting any roles, she'll swoop in, marry for clout and head straight back to LA-LA land." And that was in 2017!! And lo and behold... Britain is one of *thee* most multi-cultural cities in the world. PERIODT! It's a melting pot of cultures, races, ethnicities, religions, etc.... *only in America is everything about* *"race"* PEACE
Just saying👀 Black Brits can’t be African American 😂
This is true but we (UK) Caribbean shared a similar experience. The slave ships just took different directions you to the Americas and Cotton plantations us to the West Indies and Sugarcane.
Mic Righteous. NO ONE in the UK spits with more passion, trust. His new album "Suicycle" came out yesterday, & is feckin' genius. Made me think, feel: beautiful. Man's trying to help ppl w/MH issues, couldn't respect him more if I tried. Listen 'Darkness' from the new album, or 'Pathways' from his previous work 'I Am Reckless'. If they don't move you, your soul's cold; yeah, listen 'Pathways', but prepare for deep feels, bruv. Love yr work, man, keep 'em coming. UK respect & friendship.
Right now is when we need Dave during these times
Black is such a powerful song especially this performance. Hangman is also one of my favourite dave songs. His lyrics are next level. I'm happy more people get to see him even outside of the uk.
Also pausing it fairly often isn't actually such a bad thing. Gives you a chance to comment on what you're seeing or hearing.
Either way good reaction bro and I look forward to more.
Those are all facts 💯 and thanks, I appreciate it‼️
the editing with the Stormzy clips 😂😂 you're funny as hell
Lmaooo thank you
Sooo happy your doing uk Monday I look foward to hearing your reactions to jhus
It’s the reacting to U.K. music that’ll blow your channel up bro 👍 keep it up my guy
Dave is the best and smartest artist from UK by far
Dave goes in, he needs the recognision he deservers and to think hes only 22!
So glad you took this recommendation. I get chills every time I listen to this, I just want to give you the background on the last verse. Jack Merritt which is the guy you can see on the piano and Dave referred to as his 'brother in arms' was a victim of the London Bridge terrorist attack. He was actively trying improve the prison system that Dave's brother is currently serving a sentence for murder in, they became friends.
When he says 'Grenfell victims still need accommodation" he's referring to a council estate block fire in 2017 that killed 74 people.
Bro Dave doesn't have one bad song I swearrrrr
Yeah, you've opened up Pandora's Box on the UK artists. We're proud of them and we rep them hard.
glad you're doing this series, I love UK music !!!
Yea, they got some heat 🔥
Honestly all this is amazing! Nowadays rap music is the real history book, as nothing of what actually happened will be found anywhere else...If you want to learn something about a country, listen to their rap lyrics. Beautiful ❣️
When Dave calls out our PM I screamed so loud that my brothers and dad ran into the room XD
But seriously tho he do be spitting facts
You’re a fool for your intro lol 😂 . And Dave is 🔥 🔥 🔥
U should probably know the Brits is akin to your Grammys. He used his platform when given. #Respect
Facts, noble move by Dave 💯
Wretch 32 is our Bar man! Watch his fire in the booth with Avelino to start u off x
Thanks for the recommendation ‼️🔥
This is a fact
Dave and Jhus are deffo the UK ogsss. Elite tier if you're with them❌🧢
I love this song speaks so much truth Dave one of the best.
Subscribed for the UK reactions! Keep em coming g
i really like these videos man keep going because you listen properly and take stuff in and i appreciate it because a lot of americans don't
Dave is really and truly one of those artists that you'll need to listen to his tracks a few times just to catch everything. Be sure to check out both of Dave's blackbox sessions.
dave is awesome
Facts‼️
Jack Merritt was a person who helped black youth. Dave knew him. He was murdered in a terrorist attack.
the ones you thought were rights activists, im not 100% sure on this but they worked in prisons looking at reforming the inmates and trying to get them back in to work when they came.out, i think the guy (jack merrit) he worked with daves family member but both the guy and girl died in an attack on london bridge where somebody started attacking people with a knife
Wow, thank you for this explanation🙏🏾
Sorry man but you got it wrong. Jack Merritt was a victim of the London Bridge stabbing, he died after fighting with the attacker so that others could survive and get to safety.
Will Jones okay well thanks for the updated explanation 🙏🏾
op isn't wrong, Jack Merritt died in the London Bridge stabbing, true, he also worked on rehabilitation with Dave's brother in prison. Dave gave Jack Merritt's parents tickets to this show - the extra verse was a secret, so they didn't know he was going to rap about their son.
@@King_Lawrence Another update on this one, Jack Merritt WAS an activist who worked on helping to rehabilitate prisoners after they were released from jail. He also helped Dave and his family when Dave's brother went to jail for murder (I believe he is still incarcerated). He was a great friend of theirs but he was a victim of the London Bridge stabbing. I read that Dave invited Jack's family to the Brits so that they could see this performance & his tribute to Jack but I'm not sure about the female that was pictured.
Coincidentally watching this on the anniversary of your upload. Nice react vid. Peace from Stockholm, Sweden
Hey new subscriber 👋🏼 - Dave is a lyrical genius and his word play is incredible. I saw you catch some of his word play in this. Watch out for that in all his songs because he does it a lot. Please can you react to black the official video because the visuals are amazing and it’s slightly different to the live version. Also Dave - psycho (this song especially has a lot of wordplay) and Dave - streatham. Thank you great reaction 👏🏼 (one small bit of advice - when you pause it’s good to skip back 10 seconds so you don’t miss any bars) 😁
Keep catching those bars bro and people gonna flood your channel big respect ✊🏼
Thanks‼️ I appreciate the love and support 🙌🏾💯
Good reaction bro only thing I'll say is it's ok to pause it but when you come back rewind it like 5 secs so you don't miss the bars big up yourself anyway using your platform to promote a serious message✊🏿
Yea, I noticed I missed a couple bars. Imma do better. Thanks for ur support tho 💯✊🏾
King Lawrence You should react to Mo Stack Daily Duppy and J Hus maybe devote a day or week to Daily Duppys very good freestyle platform and there's visual aids to help you catch the bars
I remember seeing this live. Had me emotional 🙏🏾❤👊🏾
Love your reactions ,I'm from the u.k and those insert clips and your u.k accent I can't even 🤣🤣🤣
I’m not black, but I see you.
I’m not black, but I hear you.
I’m not black, but I stand with you.

"But Grenfell victims still need accommodation" - this dude probably missed that because it probably wasn't big news in the US but jheez he's hitting every spot.
That song always gives me chills
React to jme and giggs - man don’t care❄️ big tune in the uk. Also integrity by JME

Lowkey!!! I guarantee you haven't heard anything similar to that. He spits deep things. 🔥🔥🔥
I didn't cry honestly. Damn that choked me up.
I love the end bit because he adds more on to the Brit awards one 🙏
Adding him to my Apple Music. He went in 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Dave is definitely the smartest lyrically in the world, any song from psychodrama. Even Wiley Flow - Stormzy another banger
Jack Merritt was the guy who thought the terrorist on London Bridge in 2017. He was a prison councillor who helped Dave’s brother a lot and became good friends with Dave as a result.
I rate you man. One of the realest reactors doing it. Keep up the work my guy and make sure to react to the uk scene more. Big ups to you
Appreciate the love my guy 🙌🏾‼️
Please post these uk tracks twice a week you da best with them
Kopy, imma see what I can do‼️💯
King Lawrence thanks man you are really hoping us all through lockdown
Nah black goes hard every time especially cuz I just finished study the slave trade in history 😭
Loved these uk reactions,Dave- Streatham and Professor X🔥, you should react to Stormzys grime battle songs ‘disappointed’ and ‘still disappointed’
Much appreciated 💯 Thanks for your recommendations ‼️
@@King_Lawrence if you react to Disapointed and still disapointed only fair that before you react to Wiley who is the other counterpart of that beef and react to his diss tracks too

Loool thanks for watching 💯

Ayee appreciate u joining tha gang 💯‼️
Dave is a game changer.
Jack Merritt ran programmes to help prisoners, prisoners out on parole and ex convicts. He was killed in a terrorist attack by a man who was attending his programme that day as he had previously been in prison for terrorist related offences (he was out on licence so he should've been more closely monitored and it shouldn't have happened). He tried to better peoples lives, mainly black and ethnic minorities. The other girl's photo was of Saskia Jones who also was killed and involved in the rehabilitation programme. There is a lot of injustice involved as the terrorist hadn't finished his jail term so shouldn't have been let out and Jack and Saskia were trying to prevent the very thing that happened to them. I still think of them with a heavy heart despite never knowing them as I hoped that good people like them would never have something like this happen to them. Rest in peace Jack and Saskia. Hope this helps.
You just earned a fan if you keep doing uk money ‼️🔥
Thanks for reacting to Dave black
.. NEXT CAN YOU REACT TO STORMZY LIVE AT THE BRITS AWARDS 2020 LIT🔥🔥🔥
