Akala's a legend over here. Pure voice of knowledge. He also teaches Shakespeare to kids in prison and community centres. If you rate Akala check out Lowkey too.
@rhitewhino84712 жыл бұрын
Legend for sure. But he doesn’t teach Shakespeare, he owns The Hip Hop Shakespeare company, they teach how Shakespeare is related to hip hop and how similar they are. Check out his Tedx Akala - Hip Hop Shakespeare company, it’s a good watch

@@missqt48 mil- 💀 Akala is one too though LOOL! They just got it wrong. He does "teach it" but in a DIFFERENT context. It's to demonstrate that they can understand Shakespeare because people seem to regard his work as some super COMPLEX thing, almost impossible. And it isn't. And ALSO hey look at rap and what hip hop was like and what you can do with it etc.

Bro you don’t know how long the UK fam been waiting for you to find Akala! The lid is off the box now, you know who the goat is. Akala also gave an address an Oxford university a few years back (in a hoodie) and it’s well worth a watch, not to react to, just for another look in. To be fair, any talks or interviews and especially his book - Akala is one of the greatest educators of our generation IMO and inspired the next generation of uk rappers to use their voice to educate and speak on real issues. Without OGs like Akala, Mic Righteous and Lowkey, we wouldn’t have the current wave of conscious uk rappers, like Dave, Ocean Wisdom, Slow Thai etc. Buzzing for the next 3, you killed it bro
@jameshart87052 жыл бұрын
I’ve been saying Lowkey aswell bro seems he doesn’t have enough exposure because the powers to be don’t want us listening to these people, but Lowkey, akala, mic righteous & wretch need listening too
@stuartpearson98012 жыл бұрын
Akala is special. You have ‘artists’ that make your head bop and sell records. These artists only elevate their own lives in the short term and might make you feel good for an individual particular moment. But then there are artists like Akala. If you listen to Akala all the time, your outlook on life will change and your new mental will propel you forward to achieve things you’ve always wanted too. If you want to help yourself, start including some of his tracks in your general rotation.

Couldnt agree more. Akala is someone who should be famous the world over. His music is fantastic but his books and his lectures are also essential viewing/reading

@bizzryt64272 жыл бұрын
Everyone should read this comment. One of the most self empowering things I’ve ever heard was from Akala during one of his lectures at Oxford I watched online. ‘To overcome a hurdle in life you get over it and move past it. To overcome life you need to know what is putting those hurdles in front of you’. You can use that quote for literally every situation you ever encounter in life. It is the single most important thing to understand how to overcome the bigger problem not endlessly fight the short term fights.

So glad you enjoyed this Akala freestyle, knew it would be right up your alley. He is an absolute legend here in the uk, he’s Independent, owns his own masters, he’s a poet, philosopher, teaches / lectures at universities, he dies even help in politics as an advisor. You are right though,the dude doesn’t get the platform he deserves because he is dangerous, he’s dangerous to authority, he dangerous to the system, the dude is an example of what you can do. He’s just different gravy 👊 But he CAN flow, he CAN give you bars, he CAN educate you and he CAN inspire you and give you hope 👍 This particular FITB is just none stop flows and education, appreciate you paused and stop to break down and discuss, but even if you watch all the way through the performance is just staggering 👏👏👏
