Hey everyone, it looks like WMG had blocked this video when it first released. Please drop a comment saying what country you are watching from so we see if it's still being blocked! 🙏🍻

Loooved hearing this with you guys! Kano s one of the real OGs. 'Class of deja' with him and ghetts is unreal! That and 'This Is England' are both incredible.

Honestly Kano is easily the hardest UK artist he's old skool and this track still runs goosebumps

Wiley not turning up for this vid and Kano cutting him out still makes me laugh. Peak Wiley behaviour, didn’t even show up to his own birthday party 😂

“I don’t wanna hear about cunch and food and tings, man don’t do those tings” Cunch is short for “country”, a reference to out of town trap houses and such. Food is drugs.

A wheel up is where the dj spins it back and plays it again because it’s so dope. So ‘3 wheel ups in a row means I’m a direct rude boy’ means he’s the goat.

I love how you really need a translator for this, but can still appreciate how awesome Kano is

A lot of people get called GOAT and OG but believe me, Kano IS. A legendary UK MC - definite master of the craft. Check out: Kano feat D Double E and Ghetts - Class of Deja live at BBC 1Xtra, and Kano’s Can’t Hold We Down, Teardrops, and Pan Fried next. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wiley is on the Album version, "me and wiley had a clash that's a real mc" that's one of the most famous old school UK clashes. Wiley and Kano were there at the beginning.

Honestly there’s a LOT of Wiley tunes you should check out. He’s called The Godfather of Grime for a reason. Best place to start would be Holy Grime, imo. That’ll introduce you to Devlin too, both legends.

I love how hyped you are for this track despite mishearing every lyric and not understanding any of the slang or references even if you heard it correctly 😂 Saw Kano live on the tour he did for the album after this one and it was incredible. I'm sure you've had all the recommendations for Kano but a personal favourite is SYM live on Jools Holland

His album HOODIES ALL SUMMER is amazing. You do need to check the lyrics. And when your're ready, try CLASS OF DEJA LIVE AT MAIDA VALE with Ghetts and D Double E

The bar where Kano mentions Wiley, he says "me and Wiley had a clash, that's a real MC". Wiley and Kano clashed on Lord of The Mics, if you've not checked those out you need to! Proper Grime vibe with 2 mc's face to face going bar for bar

Wiley and devlin “holy grime’ 🔥🔥🔥

i skanked to this live whilst a woman was on my shoulders, i acted like she wasn't there, my back was finished for a week lmao

''If you don't look after your own youth boy you're not a direct rudeboy'' Truer words have never been spoken

The album version has a verse from Wiley as well

Kano is straight up old school g his fire in the booth is too much

Love Kano absolute quality! His Fire in the Booth is great. Also This is England, Ps and Qs and Trouble are worth checking out too… the beat from this is the second on Akala flows over in Pt4

Ps & Q's Can't Hold We Down Class of Deja .....all fire songs by Kano

This is Grime 💯🔥🔥🔥

Love for doing this.. always great to see Americans react to gigs and kano

Ocean Wisdom ft Dizzy Rascal Blessed,ocean wisdom walkin you will love the old school beat ,thumbs up as always

Wiley is the founder of UK grime - he built a scene for UK young youth, from this people have the likes of Stormzy on their TVs and phones and platforms thanks to him. Grime was getting shut down back then as it was new and police were shutting it down, radio wasn’t playing them. So Wiley, dizzee, Kanos, ghetts, Skepta, chip, wretch, scorcher, JME, devlin broke them down and a few others like p money

Kano fire in the booth 😮😮😮

Man, you guys were all over the place on this one but I appreciated the love for the levels Kano and Giggs brought to this 😅 Wiley’s verse is missing from the video version, but it starts the album version and makes the track even more fire. Lots of UK slang in this one, and Kano in particular is quite hard to catch all the bars on even for UK listeners, as he’s so techy with it. Worth taking the time to delve deeper into this one though, it’s a Grime classic, and Kano’s bars are maaaad - repeated listens and lessons in Uk slang a must 😅💥💥💥

A lot to unpack here, style a beat, lyrics etc your going down a whole different music ting, and for the better, welcome to the uk, welcome to grime, welcome to KANO, goat level mc, actor, get to know

3 UK legends. Wiley (Godfather of Grime) and Kano clash is a must see, raw foundation setting grime, historic moment. In the infamouse Jammers basement. Lyrics and flow at their peak.

Another 🔥🔥🔥 reaction 💯 If you see this song performed live the crowd goes bonkers!!

His fire in the booth is legendary

You definitely need to be checking out some of the og’s of the uk scene. Wiley, D Double E, Ghetts, Kano, Giggs. Love your dedication to the uk scene!!

KANO - FIRE IN THE BOOTH ONE OF THE BEST AND SLEPT ON FOR SURE

Kano is THE guy from music to acting, he’s just sick, definitely one of the uk goats

Kano fire in the booth the best , try wiley six in the blood clot morning

Nice to see you guys discovering a completely underrated era of British music. I’m jealous you get to hear it for the first time.

all song on kano's album made in the manor are reeally good defo worth a listen

Would love to see Kano and ghetts class of deja. The way they bounce off each other is incredible. Kano’s FITB too is a classic

I got a few recommendations for you. If you liked the energy of this then his big one that got him top tier is 'Kano... P's & Q's'. Then just cause its got the same big energy and literally anybody who matters from the OG grime scene..... 'Lethal Bizzle... 'Pow 2011'

A someone from south London who isn't that much younger than Kano let me help fill you in on a few ltircs you missed or misunderstood. -He doesn't say tyrant rude boy, he says direct rude boy. - "Pop, pop, pop, that's a reload ting And when I say "it's Kano in the house" Everybody knows that's a reload ting" A reload in grime is when the DJ starts the track from the start because they crowd are loving it. It's just a way of letting the MC continue. Felt like you wouldn't know that but it's a Grime thing. -"If you've been shotting in the manor from way back when, And you ain't on a kilo ting, I don't wanna hear about cunch & food and tings, Man don't do those tings" Shotting is dr(u)g dealing. The Manor is back where you grew up. So if you STILL ain't on a Kilo ting (selling in kilos) since back in the Manor, Kano don't wanna hear about it. Food is another slang term for dr(u)gs, and going Cunch is going up country. Like Kano (Sully) does in Top Boy. Goes up country (cunch) to a small seaside town to sell without anyone knowing who you are/police suspicion. Basically, if you're not high up the chain and making moves, Kano doesn't want to acknoledge that talk from you. Basically, he's not involved, but especially not from someone who's been low level their whole life.

I never comment on vids but i appreciate how attentive you are to bars. Keep the Kano and UK reaction s coming 🔥🔥 A lot of his stuff is hard to clear so I recommend live performances -Fire in the booth (a must watch after Wretch32 and Avelino's FITB) - Trouble - Teardrops (Rated Awards) - SYM live on Jools Holland (really great track) - Class of Deja ft Ghetts and D Double E

I’m from uk 🇬🇧 and live 40 mins from wher Kano is from and this dude is one of the best rapper’s around go check his song p’s & q’s it was his first release and it’s fire 🔥

Can't believe I missed this one. Kanos fire in the booth is 🔥

a wheel up is when the DJ spins the track back and the MC repeats what he said during a live grime/garage clash.

food = drugs..as in people thinking he's a dealer irl but he isn't. he's in the series Top Boy where his character is a dealer.

It's so much better when you grew up in the uk and understand the slang

recognising the talent over here!

yep the mosh pit at the kano concert was mental lol

I was sad to see this blocked the other day! Excited to watch 👏 I highly recommend his songs Trouble & This is England. Always looking forward to your UK reactions!

also every Kano bar is incredible. Keep going one day you'll hear it all first time.

Great video!

Bro you man’s hearing is crazy loool always Mis hearing the bars makes me crease

Wiley is a UK grime artist (Grime is a part of UK hiphop) Goes by the name of Godfather of Grime. Definitely check out his stuff. His verse is on the album version of this track, who goes before Kano.

I love this track. Proper UK sound and cadence but with a quality of production anyone can appreciate.

The conscience food bar is actually Cunch and food, because young kids go out to other county’s to small towns from City’s to sell drugs, and it’s slang for Country, as in the countryside

Big fan of Kano since 2021, from Top Boy to his music, and everyone else. Giggs, Ghetts Wretch, D Double D, Scorcher. Look them up. You Tube, Google

Didn't even realise you dropped this one 🔥 Kano is a OG in the scene, he's also an actor, check out his - fire in the booth

Watching from England 🎉🎉🎉

Can’t believe you never reviewed Kano ft papcann can’t hold me down…. 😮 Another banger as well 💯💯🔥🔥

We need that Kano- Fire in the booth my gs🔥

Love the "Original Nuttah" reference, old school jungle tune by Shy FX & then references the MC from that, UK Apache a couple of bars later...

Wiley is the godfather of Grime! He’s been grinding since day dot and mainly responsible for the wilder audience due to his work ethics. As great as he is, he can also be misunderstood, as shown through the media, which felt the need to humiliate this man, taint his name and make a mockery of his intelligence. I grew up on these type of artists, everyday, after sku channel U (if you know you know 😎) back in 06. Wiley, along with other OGs like D double E, Ghets, Big Narstie, all worked hard to put grime where it is today! Back in the day this genre ‘grime’ was considered ‘ghetto music’ as in lower social class, peoples music! Look where we are today 💥💥💥🙌🏾🙌🏾

Gotta check out his fire in the booth. Kano - fire in the booth

Kano - teardrops is a mustttttt

Great stuff, great channel

Yay - more Kano

"cunch and food and tings" refers to going out of London to sell drugs in rural areas

Kano fire in the booth 🔥 legendary!

Man said whos wiley, listen bro ill host a video call for the education 😂

Kano clashed Wiley when they were young at lord of the mics!

Onside/ offside is a reference to the beautiful game. Football. So another postcode is offside

Love to see you guys listening to UK music, When i was growing up this scene was completely underground and blew up to become mainstream, but for years we if I wanted to listen to hip hop I had to get it from the US, growing up with Dr Dre, Snoop, Outkast, Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z to name a choice few was great but also annoying as I rarely had the opportunity to go and see them perform live shows, unless they came over to the UK. Its cool to see how this has 180'd now and that UK music is getting noticed and respected in America. I would definitely spend some time trying to go through the lyrics as you missed some real bars due to the barriers between the accents and slang. (I'm from Manchester, and some of these lyrics are still difficult to catch even for me because of the speed and the accent, but worth unearthing) You missed a bar right before the method man one, where Kano says, "Take this pen to your neckAnd just just Joe Pesci man with it" - Casino reference.

Kano fire in the booth

Kano was in the Def Jam Icon game

Yall need to listen to his fire in booth. Won't regret it.

You would love Giggs: talking the hardest, a true UK Anthem

Another great reaction guys.. I'm sure someone else has let you know but 'Food' is drugs and 'Shotting' can also mean selling drugs. Keep.up. the. Amazing.work!!!

It’s a shame this was made during the period when Wiley wouldn’t show up for videos 😂😂😂 his verse is sooooo fire

The guy you thought was Wiley was called D Double E

Also wiley isnt in this video but hes a grime scene OG bin settin pace for years hes a pioneer to what uk rap is today and came from the gutter respect to everyman comin up and turnin nutn to suttn big ups from manny mcr 0161 bizniz always

Also another thing to mention, when Kano mentions Wiley, he’s bigging him up, so react to Kano vs Wiley lord of the mics!!! Classic clash!

wiley is known as the 'father of grime' (one of) the first and inventor(s) of the 140bpm grime mc. in the early days you had to rap this tempo to be called grime instead of rap. Kano introduced us to Ghetts after he came out of jail who is another legend of the genre.

You guys should do these with the lyrics, basically all went over your head 🤙

Wiley is the godfather of grime if it wasn’t for him it wouldn’t be like this pioneer

Hi commenting from the UK 🇬🇧 You have to watch Kano's Fire in the Booth. He is one of the best 😊

Clavish 4 of us is a sick tune Youngs teflon is someone you’ll like and tiny boost

🐐 for real

Big up KA 👍

Buzzing you're getting into the dons. These lads are held in the highest regard in the uk scene

essential Kano tracks: class of deja, garageskank, can't hold we down, Pan-fried, teardrops, this is England, P's and Q's - thats a good start anyway

Kano: fire in the booth

Kano ft ghetto ( aka Ghetts) ' a huntin we will go ' ...I think there's only an audio version Teardrops ...uffff

Kano - tear drops rated performance Kano ghetts back to back launch party Ghetts Kano Skepta - kiss 100 freestyle

We raps “geezers need excitement said skinner” Mike skinner is the front man of “the streets” well worth a listen for something different in British rap …. Check out his first album “original pirate material” from 2002 Ground breaking !!!!

A wheel up is a rewind

The gap in the English language is as big as the ocean that separates us. Real genuine reaction vid, the misinterpretation is wild haha

Wiley isn't on the video version because he didn't turn up. He famously does this a lot

Wiley is the godfather of grime 🙏🏼🔥

Kano is that guy. Even jay z called it 10 years ago! He’s just built differently.

kano - t shirt weather in the manor is serioussss

Counch and food ting - He's talking about when people leave the city and go to smaller towns in "Countryside" to work for a group and sell hard "food" like heroin or crack. people go do it for a month or two to get quick cash and then come back to the ends. it was risky though but If you where broke and needed the money you could go do that.
