Damo 616 he speaks with a lot of clarity to me but I completely disagree with you from a U.S. Perspective. I’ve seen most American reactions to Kano’s FITB and from what I see, they struggle to catch 30% of the entire thing so they be missing hella bars and plenty of stuff that relate to UK and just slang in general. Kano’s is slang heavy on the bars often. Rich done well picking up what he did whilst still missing bars but I expect that and have commented pretty much the same thing on the actual freestyle video. I believe it’s one of the best FITB’s but not enough recognition due to the reasons above. UK know but worldwide would struggle in comparison to a Wretch freestyle for example

Agreed 💯

Damo 616 No probs man, I appreciate your reply. No doubt, I do see American reactors rating Kano highly but we would pretty much not miss a line, I don’t think the same can be said for anyone outside of UK or even London for that matter lol. But in saying that, I think the Americans dig Kano purely because from their perspective, they’re witnessing a ‘raw’ mc. This is a guy that has it all, wordplay but flows tight too and can switch it up anytime. The stage presence of the man, he was born to hold a microphone. To me, that resonates a lot in the way he performs. Plus you will notice that he isn’t monotone like a lot of rappers. He has character, puts on yard accent in raps well and can project his voice at different levels and pitches to emphasise things certain bars in his lyrics. A true G In regards to Rich, I totally hear you. But in his defence, I would say that he’s not your everyday music reactor. He’s quite deep and likes to put his take on things when listening. He’s not just demonstrating that he catches bars (which in itself is impressive as I see the ones he catches and it’s not always the obvious) but when he understands and likes a lyric he delves into the point. I think it’s a good thing that he devotes that much time to his listeners. Almost an educated reaction. His persona plays off well as although he’s confident, he’s not a cocky fucker and he seems a very humble grounded guy. And I guess we could always forward the talking if not interested but I watch reactions for the complete reaction as you never know what will be said and when. Peace to you bro

Boro Boyo1 That’s my thoughts too. London slang littered all over the freestyle. If you get it all, you know it’s ace. Even references to Lethal B (mentioned as Bizzle). Who would know who he was referring too? Grime listeners only. Plus when he says ‘Titched this’, no outsider would know that Crazy T so it’s very much written for local listeners and people who take the time to deep what he’s saying. So far, Rich has understood this most out of all U.S. reactions IMHO

Damo 616 how would you know missed it if you never heard in the first place. Lol. Feng shuay pal feng shuay.

💯💯💯

It’s actually insane he needs to watch that

No

pewpewetc yes we know that, but it’s on Netflix with a new series

He was the best actor in it too. Crazy performance, stole the whole show

Yes defo a great watch. Sully is a gtet character and Kano did good. On netflix i think series 1 and 2 (chanel 4 produced one) is called Top Boy Summerhouse. The netflix ine just called Top Boy. At least in UK

"Share some Duppy Share" it's a brand of Jamaican rum - reference to the vapours that evaporated into the sky over the rum distillers, known as the duppy's share as it's seen as an offering to the "Duppy", a mischievous spirit that brings bad luck. Same with Cognac in France, they call it the "Angel's share".

My take on that bar was that Kano meant that you should be buying Grace because it is a Jamaican brand and it is better to support brands that are "local" rather than massive corporations.

They're racist to black dudes aswell, even white man gotta be spending crazy to get in. Just paying to be cool

They are not racist but classist, Dstrkt club is off piccadilly circus and unless you are upper class or working class but flexing with a lot of money you won't get in. Trust they would not let Morrison in there unless he showed a couple of grand to get in. The black girl thing isn't true either at least not for mixed people although obviously, I can't speak for darker skinned girls as maybe they do face more prejudice due to colourism, I am from a mixed family and the UK is not really a racist country anymore it was back in the 70's and 80's with the National front and BNP but it's changed since then and it is class which divides us, but maybe there is a prejudice, that black people aren't upper class but somebody who is white with a Manc accent or Brum wouldn't get in either. It's about class which is the last barrier we have to break down in the UK, nothing to do with race.

Thanks for letting me know. I thought District was general term. Eg areas where anyone who doesn’t fit their usual requirements is turned down.

I had to drop a dub to get in and I'm a white boy but I made 5gs when ileft

@@mjpleusch me too man
