Am leaving this comment here so that I can come back to it 10 years from now when I have achieved George's and my dreams coz I am he that he refers to when he says that he is doing it for the future generations. This guy's work has partly raised me to be the man that I am today. When I am lost, I just start listening to his voice for directions and guidance. P.S. Thanks George

This guy is absolutely brilliant. Been following him for a few months now - amazing talent, with some real thing to say. So refreshing from the nonsense we're spoon fed these days. Hats off to George.

I love this. That simple rhyme of "craze/phrase/phase" is where most people would stop, pat themselves on the back and think they are a lyrical genius. This guy takes it so much further. And he has a kind face as well.

My buddies saw George play at the Royal Albert Hall; they said it was as if they were listening to a prophet. Everyone was mesmerised.

absolutely love this guy. seen him on jools and was captivated by his performance. I actually only watched the show for Beady Eye and Miguel to be totally honest, but I am SO glad I came across this man. His message is what I strongly believe and to see and hear him tell it in such a powerful, moving fluent art format of poetry was magical. The future..

People complaining that BBC charge 200 pound a year for the tv if you watch it there's always interesting/entertaining things on there there's no adverts and they've charged since day one and been around since day one so really have no right to complain...

Interesting, beat poetry turns to rap and now back full circle, I haven't seen anyone doing something like this outside of jazz clubs in decades - and he makes it relevant too. He's OK just now, but I can see him getting better as he matures, hopefully into so Gil Scott Heron type character

not to overate him but PLEASE check out more this guy's stuff and i assure you, you will realise he is better than Jill Scott...this guy is so good that he adds street slang (hopefully u understand them) in order to ensure ppl from where he is from get the jist of the whole thing too. I have heard many a poets and he is defo the best in terms of combining rhymes with a stinging message

Although he is good, there is literally about 20 black poets in London that can do exactly the same thing, props to him for getting this much recognition but there's so many that need the same appreciation.

I saw George for the first time on 'Later with Jools' & was blown away! Just got the deeper messages listening again, which doesn't seem to be that strong in previous versions of this poem. I found Liam of Beady Eye a pretentious parody of himself... Dull & predictable with nothing to say but the usual whining BS... Move over and allow the new talent through!!!

It's so they can afford to produce the stuff. They make money from the rest of the world with DVD and merch sales as an extra so it makes financial sense to allow these little things to be seen for free.

He hasn't the desire to rap; he isn't an musical artist first.

Yeah, 20 other people in London could write the exact same song/poem.... HE wrote this, so why not the recognition?
