    • @baqeesanni1524
      @baqeesanni1524 4 года назад +236

      @abso wep this is because black people have had to deal with things that white people will never understand. for example if an orphan said orphans are great, he isn't anti people with parents. your logic, in fact shows how ignorant you are. you see something like this and automatically think its about some you (assuming you are white , which you probably are), no it's about giving hope to those black people who needed to hear this.

      I am always amazed to hear that this part of history was left out of the education curriculum in this part of the world. Growing up in a British colony we learnt about the history of the British Empire, it's victories in wars and the Royal family. This incomplete history is still a subject choice for some schools today. Now that I'm older and have read more, I understand why some people can say they did not learn most of this at school. But despite that knowledge gap, most of the commentary has been exceptionally positive and encouraging. Thank you everyone for such encouragement to a young man shaping his career and shaking the world at the same time. I salute.

It’s strip club music at best, which coincidently is where it stemmed from. Is there quality? In small pockets perhaps, but nothing on scale of the trash that’s being pumped out 24-7 in major markets. Til Drake can find a team to ghostwrite a rebuttal for Adidon, you can miss me with the bs.

      Uk hip-hop surpassed American hip-hop long ago because it is more intellectual and political. I think USA hip-hop became to much about selling record and being shallow to appeal to white audiences. True fact the region in the USA that buys the most hip-hop is Utah one of the whitest regions in the USA because white Americans consume more hip-hop that black people in the USA, which is why mainstream US hip-hop doesn’t say anything political as not to upset their target white audience who want black stereotypes like the mumble rappers and hoes with big butts and boobs like Niki Minaj or Cardi B rapping nonsense

He was a prison rehabilitation officer in the U.K., who had worked personally with Dave's brother who is in jail. He gave Jack's parents tickets to watch this at the BRITs and they had no idea it included that extra verse and were "moved to tears" .
    Grenfell tower was a tower block in London that went on fire and many people died and left thousands displaced with no hope despite governments empty promises.

      @@bigboi1228 Basically, he's referencing the media scrutiny that Megan faced compared to Kate. Of which the main problem was not the scrutiny itself but that it was based on her skin colour. Media tabloids just were filled with covert racist messages. When compared to Kate, often Megan would be doing the same things but the media would find something to say that subtly referred to her Americaness and why she was so 'different'. It got so bad at one point this led Megan to say something in a documentary about how she was feeling, she said 'its not enough to jsut survive, it's about living to thrive'. This came after Harry feared that Megan life would end the same as his mother princess Diana, because the media scrutiny was related to her death. Ofcourse Diana's reason for beinf bullied was because she didn't come from Royality, Megan on the other hand is her "urbaness". Lol That's the type of shitt they would use in the media when talking about her. After that interveiw, the media was worse than before. Saying that Megan should shutup and take it, since its a privalege to be part of the royal family. The bullying just got worse and continued. I'm glad Megan and Harry got out, I don't think it would've ended well for Megan if she stayed. Hope that explains it.

      @ Didn't say kate deserved scrutiny. I have nothing against kate. People always say oh Megan took him away from his family, BUT isn't Harry his own man. Does he not have agency to make choices? He moved away because he wanted to put his immediate family first which is Megan and Archie. Imagine seeing your wife everyday trying to keep her head above water which isn't good for anyones mental health and there's nothing you can do about it. Ofcourse you'll make the same choice, if you had a choice. Harry and Megan made this choice together, they are husband and wife. People make Megan some kind of witch who's sole purpose is to break up the royal family. She wouldn't have tried to be a part of it, if that was her goal. She embraced his family, it's just Britain didn't embrace her.
      One more thing, you'll never understand covert racism if you haven't experienced it.

      This statement shows you know very little about rap. Sure, Dave is astoundingly talented, an amazing lyricist and is killing it at the moment.. but the best ever? I'd hold off on that. Artists like Akala, Skepta, JME and Kano have been in the game a lot longer and slaying it with intellectually provocative and powerful lyrics for going on 15 years now. In an ideal word it shouldn't come down to comparisons of who is the best ever, or who is better than who. We should learn to appreciate each and every one of them equally and individually, and enjoy their message and their art. It's not a competition, as much as the charts would like to tell you.

      They automatically think they are better than that,
      When he goes on about guilty before innocent, that is because he's on about young crime (knife+bike) crime which 95% in a black community which then chances are the person that's done it is black,
      People need to wake up and more on we don't owe anything the past is the past, we can't change that, the future is already changed with equality etc..

      Lol this guy was racist himself. Plus the UK is 3% black people, yet over half of the nominees were black in fear of being labelled racist. As long as black people keep portraying themselves as little people who are victims that need special attention, people will view them as little people not to hit instead of on the same level.

    Lyrics: (Source: Genius. Com)
    [Verse 1]
    Look, black is beautiful, black is excellent
    Black is pain, black is joy, black is evident
    Workin' twice as hard as the people you know you're better than
    'Cause you need to do double what they do so you can level them
    Black is so much deeper than just African-American
    Our heritage been severed, you never got to experiment
    With family trees, 'cause they teach you 'bout famine and greed
    Show you pictures of our fam on their knees
    Tell us we used to be barbaric, we had actual queens
    Black is watchin' child soldiers gettin' killed by other children
    Feelin' sick so quick, this could have happened to me
    Mummy watchin' tellin' stories 'bout your dad and your niece, listen
    The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
    Kid dies, the blacker the killer, the sweeter the news
    And if he's white, you give him a chance, he's ill and confused
    If he's black he's probably armed, you see him and shoot, look
    [Verse 2]
    Black is growin' up around the barbershop
    Mummy sayin', "Stay away from trouble, you’re in yard a lot"
    Studying for ages, appreciatin' the chance you got
    'Cause black is in your blood, and you ain't even got the heart to stop
    Black is steppin' in for your brothers because your father's gone
    Standin' by your children when you haven't proven karma wrong
    Black is doin' all of the above, then go and corner shop
    Tryna help a lady cross the road to have her walkin' off
    Black is growin' up around your family and makin' it
    Being forced to leave the place you love because there's hate in it
    People say you're faking it, never stay for change in it
    But black is bein' jealous, you'd be dead if you had stayed in it
    Black is strugglin' to find your history and tracing it
    You don't know the truth about your race 'cause they're erasin' it
    Black has got a really sour flavour, here's a taste of it
    But black is all I know, there ain't a thing that I would change in it
    [Verse 3]
    Look, black isn't a single colour, man, there's shades to it
    Her hair's straight and thick, but mine's got waves in it
    Black is not divisive, they been lyin' and I'm hating it
    Black has never been a competition, we're all making it
    Black is deadly
    Black is when you're freezin' in your home and you can't get sleep, but never feelin' empty
    'Cause you got twenty cousins in your country living stress-free
    Walkin' for their water, daughter wrapped inside a bedsheet
    Black is distant
    It's representin' countries that never even existed while your grandmother was livin'
    Black is my Ghanaian brother readin' into scriptures
    Doin' research on his lineage, findin' out that he's Egyptian
    Black is people namin' your countries on what they trade most
    Coast of Ivory, Gold Coast, and the Grain Coast
    But most importantly to show how deep all this pain goes
    West Africa, Benin, they called it slave coast
    Black is so confusin', 'cause the culture? They're in love with it
    Take our features when they want and have their fun with it
    Never seem to help with all the things we know would come with it
    Loud in our laughter, silent in our sufferin'
    Black is bein' strong inside and facing defeat
    Poverty made me a beast, I battled the law in the streets
    We all struggled, but your struggle ain't a struggle like me
    Well how could it be when your people gave us the odds that we beat?
    I mean, bloody hell, what about our brothers that are stuck in jail?
    That couldn't bust a bail, they held a bird and gotta live with it
    Black is bein' guilty until proven that you're innocent
    Black is sayin', "Free all my people stuck inside them prison cells"
    Think it's funny, we ain't got nothin' to say to them
    Unconditional love is strange to them, it's amazin' 'em
    Black has really got the sweetest flavour, here's a taste of it
    But black is all I know, there ain't a thing that I would change in it
    [Verse 4]
    It is racist whether or not it feels racist
    The truth is our Prime Minister is a real racist
    They say, "You should be grateful we're the least racist"
    I say the least racist is still racist
    And if somebody hasn't said it
    Equality is a right, it doesn't deserve credit
    Now if you don't want to get it, then you're never gonna get it
    How the news treats Kate versus how they treated Megan
    Rest in Peace Jack Merritt, you're my brother in arms
    There's tears in our eyes and love in our hearts
    We never had the same background, culture, colour, or past
    But you devoted your life to giving others a chance
    And for that, I'm so taken aback
    Because it gave us all a voice, I have to say it for Jack
    As a young black man seeing paper and crack
    Giving tougher sentences, it's just papering cracks
    All he would want is unity, funding for communities
    Equal opportunities, people under scrutiny
    No more immunity, way less hatred
    More conservation, less deforestation
    We want rehabilitation, now that would be amazing
    But Grenfell victims still need accommodation
    And we still need support for the Windrush generation
    Reparations for the time our people spent on plantations
    I'm done
