Top 20 in 30 countries with no major label backing him. Just take that in for a minute. Skepta is the one who will push grime to the world. Bigup for the interview.
Can we stop talking about Semtex and appreciate just how much of a down to earth, honest and good guy that Skepta is? He is actually trying to make a difference to the world and not just to put money in his wallet... upmost respect.
Right, found my motivation video for Monday, Well deserved. Only 2mins into it now and am glad that I have met both of them at various times in my career, this should be a wicked discussion, lets hear it.
+Alex Rolfe yeah I know lol, Ima be uploading a video in the next few hours on it, it would have been up a while ago but I keep getting copyright claims from the guy who does the beats, should be up soon though!
+King MG cool and novelist was talking about you on periscope, saying your reaching and trying to cause beef, but I enjoy your videos I like the stories so don't stop keep it up.
I used to think drake was catting London slang but it's not that. Specifically in Toronto, the blacks there are migrants form the carribbean/west Africa, so their slang has the same (predominantly) Jamaican origins as ours which is why they have the same words/phrases/structure that you typically hear in london. A lot of us Londoners are first/second generation migrants; i.e. our parents or grandparents were born in carribbean/africa so we are much closer to the culture, just like in Toronto It's different in America because most of the blacks there are from slaves and haven't got the same 'homeland' cultural definition as us and where they do it isn't as strong because they've been 'out of the loop' for a lot more generations
@@020701304 This is an old comment but I needed to respond.Many of you that are of carribean descendants and African in London and Canada yes may know your roots.But,Many black Americans have the same roots.In spite of not knowing precisely where our origins our we have managed to make a hell of an American culture for ourselves that is duplicated throughout the world.So,I wish many of you people of color from London and Canada stop trying to minimize who we are and what we have built for ourselves.While many of you know where you come from your presence in the countries that you are in and your strides can be seen as minimal compared to the accomplishments of the slaves that ended up in America.
@@Kim-427 I'd agree with most of that, I didn't mention it because it wasn't the focus of the point I was trying to make. the culture you have built is a result of what I was saying. I kind of disagree with your last point though, what do you mean by accomplishments? Caribbean diaspora have had similar influence on our respective countries as you have in your own
That's he best type of interview because if it's got that "flow" it's all about the same thing and it's boring. If they keep switching it up you want to keep watching

Great interview on Skepta's side. Semtex was the wrong person to interview him for this amount of time tho tbh. There were almost no counter responses to anything he said and all of the questions he asked him were really generic and off subject. "What do you think to the current state of UK hip hop/grime atm?" i bet his last 5 interviews didn't cover that, glad you asked him about that m8
+@DylsNANG big up to the power talk, not hating that it's just would've been better if it was a separate track or interlude...I listen to that tune on repeat but skip when it comes to that part
Lol it's funny in interviews like this with Skepta, he usually goes on about a deeper mission with the whole grime scene, pure ting. Interviewers be cutting him off after his rant and be like "so what's up with Drake" lool who cares about Drake, the mission is deeper right now
40:00 - This isn't a fact, but opinion - Skepta doesn't think Dizzee did enough to help the scene when he made it through. Dizzee didn't bring anybody with him. That is where Skeptas beef with Dizzee stems, despite what may have been a soso friendship previously.

whenever he says "ya get me" you gotta take a shot.
R.I.P
LOL
😂 😂
And "you get what I'm saying"
Didn't even notice he's saying that, till I read ur comment😑
I fucking love Skepta man, i live in Miami now but i grew up in north london too. Everywhere i DJ ima play grime. Its my favorite sound ever.
I'm interested, how/why/when did you choose to live in Miami?
Your top looks like some tacky ass fake hba ahah
Statiq Thanks
StolenTech I was in france before that and there was more opportunity out here imo. Especially as a dj. But my parents made the moves anyways
Me too. Londoner in Miami

Skepta is the most important british artist today. I think even more than Adele. N17 Stand UPP!
+Mali Won't be surprised if she starts giving him shout outs from nowhere.
+Dominic Kabinga she already did
mans cap got cold so he put a beanie on it
KING KUNGBAT
Man said "if the shoe fits wear it" when asked if he dissed Dizzie, imagine Skepta & Dizzie clash, that would be legendary
*The Skepta + Drake mixtape needs to happen*
No.
No
+DEEPROT NO NEVER
Yes. Drake on hooks only though
+DEEPROT noooooooooooooooooooooooo
DJ Semtex is just chocking throughout this interview man's dying forever coughing
Dope dj.., but a fat mess!
Watching this makes me have the most up respect for skepta ... Real talk 🇬🇧 keep waving the flag my g 💯💯💯💯
skepta's dry throat and him not touching that cup of water is making me thirsty smh
Skepta is a living legend happy to have met him years ago! Always been a good inspiration
"Raah for real God."- Skepta 2016
😂
You can tell he loves his bro JME, respect man
Proud of Skeptas success, hard work pays off.
Novelist is the future of Grime
Great MC
He's overrated
+Steven Gerrard Steven gerrard gerrard

gave to demba ba
+chip tha Popstar Wasteman wasteman stormzys overrated
+Sam Adu i like stormzy but these new grime fans rate him to high
+Bundess Eh? One of the most basic new MC's. Jammz is probably the most talented of all the new school.
1xtra, i know its not part of your format to do this, but you need to add airhorn and gunshots after 40:49.
Lool init .. Silver your everywhere
yeah!! thought i was the only one!
Right, found my motivation video for Monday, Well deserved. Only 2mins into it now and am glad that I have met both of them at various times in my career, this should be a wicked discussion, lets hear it.

Semtex got that chemistry. Get this don interviewing all Grime cats. Bless up Skepta.
Skepta & JME are the realest artists in the UK grime scene their interviews are always motivational 💯
skepta is the greatest. he's putting grime on the map. the world is starting feel it.
I'm so fucking proud of you Skeppy.
Personally despa would have been better to conduct the interview
This deserves way more views.
Mans got a strong mentality #SKEPTA
LEGENDARY!
This interview is iconic!
Good interview, im glad he talked about the dizzee rascal situation
+King MG lol they were talking about your videos on the situation
+Alex Rolfe yeah I know lol, Ima be uploading a video in the next few hours on it, it would have been up a while ago but I keep getting copyright claims from the guy who does the beats, should be up soon though!
+King MG cool and novelist was talking about you on periscope, saying your reaching and trying to cause beef, but I enjoy your videos I like the stories so don't stop keep it up.
+Alex Rolfe oh shit really? I didn't know that but Kmmmt I'm not trying cause beef, that's mad, thanks for the support and letting me know though!👊🏽
takes alot of heart for a man to say he'll fuc wid opps if they doing good
but thats why i always fucced with skepta

+Chirag Costa it just got uploaded you mong...
+IcyHorns yeah I know, what's your point?..

Stop tryna talk road
Why does semtex always sound that he is dribbling? Sick interview but wipe your lip
aha trusss 😂
16:30 some deeper levels - you can tell skepta's struggled hard with that smile right there
Semtex is far too awkward at interviews.
He's not.
+Jamie B man looks like a lesbian uno
Incredible interview, god bless everything Skepta has achieved thus far >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
There's 0 flow between these questions. Taking a dab into random topics😒🤐
dabbin ass rappers
That's he best type of interview because if it's got that "flow" it's all about the same thing and it's boring. If they keep switching it up you want to keep watching

THAT IS A SICK ANALOGY OF THE CROSS FADER!

Ready to die 100% best rap album of all time. Good choice skepta
+Global Parade good call, ok one of the best albums of all time
Large up yahself skepta the boss,I'm super proud of you . Keep doing yah ting
I wish he would've added a bonus track/CD with a 1-2 hour long Grime set to Konnichiwa, would've been the icing on the cake.
+LATEON BBK did a show on radar last month which was good, but yeh a mistajam sixty minutes live would be good

Woi! Skepta and Drake ting needs to go down!!!

I used to despise grime in general but now like i can enjoy it, Skepta is pretty cool
Skepta should clash devilman again...
I still don't know why Skepta don't chat bout his production.. Top Five easily
skepta needs to link nardwuar

"In the intro? Naaaah" *cheeky grin*
What man meant to say was
"In the intro? Nah in 'Man' I duppied him though"

Dynamo, on the other end of weight spectrum.
