This is why Skepta has cemented his status where others have failed. He essentially started a career from scratch in a country that didn’t fully understand his genre. He didn’t try to jump on their wave yet brought a set to the streets of NY. Worked with the underground MC’s of NY like rat king etc. Big risk, these people at the time don’t understand the beats or lyrics yet Skepta earns their respect, he didn’t wait for the internet to catch up and went and chased it. King of the UK not just grime
@@la397 can’t just turn up in Flatbush and do this ha, they were on top of the UK when they did this so should be respected for having the balls to do this in the first place. A grime set on the streets of NY. Legendary
I remember him doing that fair play too him would have been better in the bronx also…skepta is 🇬🇧 legend here him and giggs for what they did for the game from the word go 💪🏼
This ain’t 1995, key tell tells are no1, his bar about luis Suarez (footballer who played for Liverpool and was 2011 when he joined) and his bar “I’m still alive just like 2 pac” 2pac supposedly died in 1996 a year after this video is saying it’s taken, so how can that be right lol, this video is 2011 I reckon
This is THE most rare video I have ever come across

what underground mc did he work with in NY?
That and he got Diddy’d 😂
This is how Skepta and BBk had their grind, went overseas in the endz and grinded hard. We can see some in the crowd catching the flow slowly..
Can’t believe these man are clapping a wheel up😭
Hahahah
skeppy was really tryna push dis ting
americans will never understand the frequency of grime. i've always said this and this crowd proves my point massively.
It's a gentrified crowd. He should have went to Flatbush or the bronx
Never generalize until you go there yourself and meet every american. Fassyole smh
with the right guidance we can do anything

This couldn’t have been filmed 25 years ago, that would make skepta 12 in this video
What can I say he must have hit puberty at 3
Exactly my thoughts …skepta must be about 50+ today 😆
makes sense 🤣 bro was 6" in primary @@thememe7323
So solid crew wasn't even around back then lol
1995 😂 skepta in his mid 40s now then haha
time flies. Hopefully one day you will be in your forties. Life.
I feel like thuh time n date thing was fukt up on thuh camcorder.
Yea, I was about to say again haha. I don't think that's the right date. I think its messed up
This didn't come out in the 90s u fake fans hahahaha skepta didn't even rap then. The song dropped in 2014. Piss off
@@waitnamek exactly 😂
5:27 when skepta dodged that guy trynna put a chain on him 🤣
2015.... they don’t realise how privileged they are to be there
For anyone wondering this was actually in 2015 not 1995
if you thought this video was filmed in 1995 slap yourself
loco-mane who’s saying that anyway 😂😭
😂😭😂😭😭😭😭
Believe loool
init cuz
surreal asf whoa
Americans like, 'whose this devilman guy?'
Would have loved to be in that crowed man
Is there a full version like this available with better sound quality? Quality sounds like it was recorded on a morphy richards slow cooker bruv
I doubt it. It seems like it was recorded this way and it's also live in public
@3:56 giving the Americans a Davinche old skool grime absolute banger.
Should've pulled up in The Bronx & Brooklyn my G
SPECS.95 think it might be in the bronx or Brooklyn cos he was hanging with bari a lot during that time
I remember him doing that fair play too him would have been better in the bronx also…skepta is 🇬🇧 legend here him and giggs for what they did for the game from the word go 💪🏼

Dam I hope he comes back to America
Skepta and ANYONE other than shorty from BBK to represent out in the US man fuck
How have i not seen this
RARE 5-STAR HOLOGRAPHIC SHIT.
I think that was at the time Skepta made RedEye To Paris with Flatbush Zombies
Same due to the location year and bars
skepta said “luis suarez” at some point I’m pretty sure so this has got to be like around 2008 I think
So skepta is 12 years old in this vid?
Hakeem Lahfa Yes
Lmaooo
Yes
Actually younger😂
Lol camera quality really from 1995
anyone know the name of the song or beat at 17:25?
XTC - Functions on the Low
What's the beat at 12:45. Great vid shame about the audio
Sounds like an old maximum beat from early grime days
That asian girl in a red dress is cool
you just thirsty
The song is "That's not me" and it was released in 2018. Nice try.
Omg they had video cameras in 1995 there all time travellers
Huh?
What’s first song ???
This is awesome but that date is wrong. That's 2005 or later
Now that I see more it's gotta b way later than that minimum of 2013
bruh it's 2015
Instrumental at 09:10 plzzzzzzzzzz

I think it must have been when suarez was at ajax so probably like 2008 but yeah defo around that time
@@jakeevans7343the two of u are donuts
@@killerlase123 what😂 how? please explain.
Salt
He should've gone deeper into NYC like properly into Brooklyn, Queens etc
Dave OG pretty sure this is Brooklyn or the bronx cos he’d have been hanging with Bari around that time
this is big but maximum could av chosen better beats
That wasn't 95
No shit
Yeah like 25 years ago wtfffff
Shorty proves to the world that it doesn't matter how tall you are, you can still be a shit performer
Skepta always goes in hard that other mc is whack
shorty will pummel ur nan into ashes
@@dylanjordan4747 😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@dylanjordan4747 oiii 😂😂
Shorty is hard
@@xrpgino6858 no he isn't. hardcore grime fans are still scratching their head about why he was ever part of BBK
what a terrible crowd, just apathetically bopping heads
I want that shorty in red dress on my face fam!
U want Shorty in a red dress on ur face??? Moving mad I don’t think he’ll agree to that
@@kod999 😂😂😂😂
Dude, she's 16
Anyone know the song at 09:15
IW_JOSH not sure of the instrumental but skeptas lyrics are off spaceship by slept a and jme
Instrumental would be in a grime instrumentals playlist most likely
darq e freaker - alright
Love skepta but too many recycled bars
thats what grime is bro. its not like hip hop where they make it up as they go
histories worst wheel up lmao no energy from the crowd
