These guys are talking more than the actual guest - that's a problem!

Why is Kano talking the least 🙄 Edit: thanks for the likes nigga

Kano is one of the founding fathers of a music genre, could of let him talk 🤦‍♂️

It’s mad how people overseas think the whole of the UK have a London accent 😅

Kano is a Goat in the UK.

Americans see every conversation as some form of competition 😂😂

🤦🏾‍♂️ the way these man are yapping away, they either don't respect or realize how much of a legend they're talking to. If they listened to the album, especially SYM, they definitely will have been talking about the album more.

If your comparing tracks like boasty, you’ll never understand grime 😂

Kano is a Legend... I’m from the states & been listening to Grime/UK HIPHOP/UkDrill for the last 7 years & I love all of it

Kano’s demeanour is so nuanced - only the UK would understand what is really being said (by Kano) in this interview. Salute Kano - We say less 👊🏾😎

They are so patronising in this 'interview'. I'm so annoyed they kept talking over him 😔

Kano is a LEGEND. This interview was a disrespect! They should of researched who they were talking to... smdh

When are you Americans gonna realise we don’t care if we pop in the US, we eating good over here 🇬🇧 Bare American crying in the comments lool, the funny thing is I listen to Americans more than uk rap

why do these guys always try so hard to prove that they know about people they introduce on their platform instead of letting them talk?

I need Akala to come on here and school them about Black British History.

This interview is when you write an essay with no research - Labouring on the same point just to hit the word count

A man learns way more listening than he ever will do by talking. Also stop talking at Kano and talk to him instead.

Not only is Kano regarded in the UK as one of the greats if not the greatest he's also a fucking good actor. Shout out to Ebro and the hot 97 fam for this interview.

“Just because we didn’t lose, doesn’t mean that we’ve won bruv”- Sully. That line in Top boy was cold asf. Big up yute.

As if man thought Skepta weren't part of the first generation 😂😂😂😂

Kano is the uk’s answer to nas to me, he defo one of the goats

Cant be using skepta and stormzy in the same sentence. 2nd wave? Has he even heard of risky roads?

97: SO THIS IS WHAT'S UP WITH YOUR LITTLE GRIME CULTURE RIGHT? Kano: er... well, I mean th- 97: YEAH YEAH NEW YORK PIZZA BASEBALL YO YO YO WHAT WAS THAT SKEPTA RECORD CALLED?

I cancelled Hot 97 about a year ago - came back and remembered why.

Ask him a question, let him answer it. Otherwise don't call it an interview!

I am a Londoner and lived in the US for two years, live in Toronto now. Kano is right it’s better for UK artists not to worry about if Americans will be receptive to their music . I do not think they can. Our slang is different . The bars won’t hit their eardrums they way we want it too and technically they’re in a bubble so no matter what I don’t think it’ll reach. Toronto slang is similar to London that’s why Drake etc flow to Section Boyz , Stormzy and the likes .

Ebro. Didn’t Rocky move to London for a while? Kano. I don’t know, I ain’t see him 😎

This man is one of the greatest actors of his generation. Don't get it twisted, his work on Top Boy Netflix is EPIC. He adds so much onto his "Summerhouse" effort and matured in the art form exponentially! Kano is the MAN! Safe!

“LighT Em Up!” - Sully

Well done Kano, he represented right. I’m happy to see him here.

Americans have been playing everyone... and f**king up the accents- Yes Kano😂

Interviewers egos got in the way of a potentially good interview.

HOT 97 didn't deserve this Kano interview!

I love how authentic he is to his own music, his own sound and how he isn’t willing to follow trends/compromise who he is for more fame, money etc

Literally 27 minute video of interviewers not letting the guest talk and trying to prove that they know the scene. Smh

When I was younger we basically had no choice but to listen to US music. Then came along channel U/AKA etc and made it a bit easier for us to hear our own music. Now I talk to younger kids and they dont even listen to US music because the UK scene is so diverse and tells our story!

Dem man don’t even let Kano speak, so ridiculous. They’re literally trying to tell him about London close your mouths you might learn something.... terrible interview

Kano is a legend. I like hot 97 but they only put in real research and energy when it comes to artists they know and passionately follow. Kano deserves a lengthy in depth interview for all he has achieved and contributed to the music scene in the UK. This interview should have been directed towards him in my opinion rather than the usual formal introduction to Americans 🙄 even when Ebro asked him about lyrics and slang, I thought he was going to acknowledge Kano as one of the best lyricists to ever live but no, he treated it as a language barrier smh. Akala’s interview with Kano is WAY better.

Why this sound like Kano interviewing Hot97????

I watch these interviews and it makes me proud to be a Londoner how articulate Kano and Dave are we are streets ahead 🙌🏽

Do Ebro let anybody finish making a point.

Sully still on his P’s and Q’s

Didnt talk about Kano’s Music but keep name dropping every other grime artist🤦🏾‍♂️

There is no if's or but's, Kano has always held the UK down...he is the UK. His music reaches levels many grime artists just can't reach or understand about the culture here. He may not be the most popular artist from the UK, but hands down he's the most real. No questions he's the definition of grime and UK culture, period.

ps and qs will forever be one the greatest grime/garage songs to come out of the uk

It would have been nice to hear more from Kano, these guys like the sounds of their on voices.

Hey, lets interview Kano BUT..... Lets barely let him speak!!

Kano ain't talking the facts he's letting them tell him how things are frustrating to watch

Ebro loves the sound of his own voice! SHOUTS TO KANO! 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

This is a terrible interview. The interviewers went out of there way to talk ALL way through. We know you recognise Grime but you didn't support until Drake cosigned so let the man tell his story PLEASE. It's his story.

To have Kano in the room is a huge deal. The man's a legend!! And a true Brit 🇬🇧

How can you not love Kano, the man is a genius with music but also one intelligent guy! Absolute GOAT for me

Rate Kano for not glorying the streets

KANO more legendary than most US rappers today Americans got no idea!

How important pac, biggie, big L is to hip hop. That’s how important Kano is to grime. These Americans need to understand

KANO IS A LEGEND! Feel privileged you had him in your studio. Wish he got interviewed by SWAY and breakfast guys as well

It’s maud. America will never know how much Kano has done. The man is levels

Kano is a true Legend. Never sold out once.

The “slavery in the UK” dialogue in this interview is WAY OFF. Do they know that the reason the UK is one of the wealthiest countries in the world is BECAUSE of the slave trade???

Respect to ebro and that, they always showing love to the UK! Kano is too humble, he is pretty much the Godfather of the uk scene he brought in P and Q's

Hot 97 you know, Gwarn Kano! 🙌

Kano signs in life, still one of his best tracks

Kano spitting gems as always... when they let him talk clearly they know more about grime than one of the originals

Why invite him jus to talk over him and talk for him ? Kano the goat.

Big up Kano...his album is a classic! Interviewers didn’t do him justice with their lack of questions.

Man like Kano! Boop Boop Boop! Best Grime MC of all time!

This interview was weak, y’all keep comparing u.s and u.k! Y’all didn’t even let him talk and introduce the u.k at all

Kanos so underrated. Been listening to him from day one and seen him perform live. Would love to see him blow in the US

Yo, Rosenberg is a clown forreal fam. 😂

Love the crew but y'all needed to allow Kano to give himself. Too much chatter. Let the UK man have a say!!!!!! By the way, KANO NEEDS AN EMMY NOMINATION for his portayal of Sully in Top Boy.

Been a grime fan for over a decade now....glad to see he's getting shine in the US now.

I swear every interview with a UK artist is the same

Legend in the UK

One of my favourite rappers ever!!!!! RAP, Grime etc. He can rap over anything

Very talented guy. Played his role better than any of the cast and made topboy believable. Don't think I would have enjoyed without him

Top Boy - great show. Highly recommend it.

ITS K A!!!!!!!!!! Absolute legend you have here. Haven’t heard the interview yet but I respect the fact that you have this man on. Love!!!!

K.A!!!! East London Stand up

Peace from the States. Shout out to the UK. I've been listening to Kano since P's & Q's. I got most of his cataloge (including MC #1 and Jack Bauer 1 & 2). Much respect to his career. ✊

Coming from North West (NW)London I really love this interview. Thanks for this guys a nice surprise to see one of our own representing us, our culture & music. 💋🇬🇧

Good to see UK Grime legend KANO on American radio podcast the stuff he has done for the scene from Ps n Qs to hoodies all summer to top boy outstanding work paid off

Get akala on the program!!

I like the way Kano never name dropped ghetto as one of the originals 😂😂😂

I love me some Kano all the way in Chicago

Sully like my fav character he a savage

Respect to Kano. Og in the uk 🇬🇧

Gotta love Kano, a very humble genius

These International Rap Artists are selling out stadiums in their countries and across EU. Who needs the US? The French, UK, and South African Rap Scene is huge.

You need to do Sway In The Morning KA, do the five fingers of death

What was the point of having Kano on the show and talking over him or just the amount of ignorance. Luckily not all Americans are ignorant.

Finally the recognition he needs especially uk rap gosh

The uks running the music scene right now, furthermore the whole world is using our style and our drill beats.

Grime +hip hop+Dancehall music = Jamaican culture

I agree that styles could merge over time through collabs, like "weclome to the party" by pop smoke is a UK Drill beat and its going crazy in the usa, which is what makes it unique.

His acting was so fucking good

Big fan of this show. Great dialogue about this show, culture, and humanizing people in the midst of the narrative.

Kano is a LEGEND in the GAME! SNM USA needs to know about the BARZ from UK!

Long live Kane Robinson 👑

As a old school hip hop head, I grew up on American hip hop and some Uk based hip hop from the likes London posse, Hijack, demon boyz, Hardnoise, Professor Griff, Monie love and slick Rick. Even though America where it all started and was highly influential, especially through the gold era of hip hop the 90s and the noughties. UK hip hop was definelty on evolution of its own sound culturally, which is modern day Grime, I check more uk artists than American hip hop these days cause uk scene is now what American hip hop was 20 years ago it a whole new industry reaching new heights.

Was great listening to Kano for a few very brief moments in this interview
