Not only is Kane a top musician and actor, I know it’s not his priority but man is an excellent interviewer too. Doesn’t interrupt, let’s the chat flow, asks great and spontaneous follow up questions that actually excite the listener. A lot of so called journalists in this country could learn a thing or two from K A. Big up!!

It's mad to hear Kano say he still finds it hard to call himself an actor. He was absolutely outstanding in Top Boy, so real! Such a talented guy.

Every time I see Idris out of all the characters he’s played in movies/films its always Stringer bell that stands out for me

Man like Idris smokin a zoot

There's an innocence about Kane thats so endearing...

I would really like to see Kano and Idris Elba in a movie or series together. It would actually be sick. Someone please make this happen. Get them a great script and budget! Ya nah mean?

I'm loving this series!! 👌👌 I'm a Newham born n raised baby, so seeing these talented people who were raised in the same Borough is great. I hope you will interview Michaela Coel too, I love her work. Thank you for this series, I'm looking forward to seeing more. 😀

East ham to Canning Town was a regular bop for me and the man dem on barking Road. Its so good to see how such a small place developed such '' big people ''. Han tight Newham from the 7.

Kano is so good at interviewing people. Im loving these.

Being from Gate and hearing them talk about your ends is kind mad!lol the amount of talent Newham produced is insane!

Nuff people have made it out of Newham u kno...forgot Idris Elba was raised in that borough too. These types of conversations are inspiring to see. It gives the next generations that bit of hope...true or correct?

Kano = massive inspirational figure Idris = legend

Great interview but still mainly watching to look at Kano. He could interview himself for three hours and I’d still watch 😍

My two favorites!! So much talent and both so handsome and grounded. Luv from CA🇺🇸

I really enjoyed this, I used to run for Newham and Essex Begals as well. Such memories. ❤

Idris is so down to earth, you can tell he is an honest and respectful man, even with big stacks in the yard. :)

Kano and Nas my all time greatest, as human beings also great examples 💯💯

Beautiful to wake up and see a video with 2 legends in their own right

I've seen plenty of interviews of Idris, however, this was by far the best. Kano did such an amazing job playing Sully in Top Boy. Real & Authentic. Great things are on the horizon for him. Nuff respect for them both 👋🏽👍🏽👌🏽👊🏽🙌🏾❤

Imagine one of your customers being Idris Elba, his plug must feel legendary.

Learnt so much from just listening to these 2 very humble down to earth virtuosos. Thank you ! Bravo !!

I live in the US and I'm new to TOP BOY I had now Idea the Kano was Rapper. My boy is Dope. Been doing deep dives in his music now. Amazing

Videos like this make me PROUD to be from NEWHAM. So much talent, so much inspiration out here..

I could listen to these two all day; so inspirational. Love to both x

I watched the teardrops video this morning and I have to say this. I have been a fan of you from risky road days, listened to every album you’ve put out and all I can say is I hope you feel happy and that you have received all the credit and everything else you deserve!! I hate to make comparisons but you are as significant to us and when I say “us” I mean grime fans from the uk as jay z or nas or biggie, pac, big pun, rakim, kool g rap, the list goes on as they were to America and the hip hop culture. A lot of people have had short spouts of fame, money, recognition in your genre but you have not only stayed consistent but honest, humble and modest. You are a true genius and a legend. I hope you see this message. Thank you for blessing our lives with your music.

Kano is really nervous in this in comparison to his other talks. That’s humbling. Shows he really looks up to Idris and respects him.

I hope after this series, kano expands the show nationally to other black prominent and unsung British artist. He is really personable and humble. His explanation to the reason why he doesn't consider himself a actor shows such much Humility and respect to the industry, even Idris noticed that.

Big up all my Canning Town peeps!

Big up from Toronto.🥇

Man Kano and Idris both true Renaissance Men. Role models - both of them for life. True kings

“Idris lived one road away, what’s the odds. That’s two black youths going straight to the top” Kano - Road Man Hymn If you don’t know, check it out NOW an absolute vibe 😌.

I think Kano is victim of his own genius he's too clued up to let people get the better of him. Great interview!!! Trust me I remember all those NF stories I used to box at Peacock Gym in Canning Town back in the day. It's mental when you think about those times. Kano please interview DJ Randy C (former manager of Deja Vu FM) he was from Custom House/Canning Town.

I'm 60 seconds in and he's already cool as hell... edit: just clocked the Marvin Gaye Let's Get it On wooly hat!

Seeing Kane in Leeds last winter was one of the best nights of my life. Loving this content too. Idris also has all my respect. I’ll never be a musician or actor but these men are inspiring on every level.

I love the sneak peaks from friends man, best thing ever

Love Kano. Bless Idris. I was also listening to Bob Marley during lockdown. As the message resonates today and everyday. Bless

I really admire you Kano and every you do and put your mind to is amazing, heart felt and inspirational, stay blessed luv x

I can record an orchestra! An earthquake! The thoughts of Gods! I'm Idris Elba, I can do anything!

Love Kano. Idris Elba with the 'small orchestra' studio lol.

All these interviews are so good Kano your one of the true greats In the U.K. your a sick human we need more of you blessing G keep it up and thank you for all the music init! Stay Golden 👊🏼😊

Love these conversations with different people, looking forward to the next.

I'm loving how Idris is using slang I grew up when I moved from Peterborough to the borough Greenwich. 'Fit, Jarring, etc'. Great content. After I heard Kano say "Idris lived up the road" on his album

Idris is lean up!!! ❤🔥I love my people 🔥❤

Beautiful to see focused and inspirational Brothas just engage respectfully, motivationally and supportively

Idris having quick two bun while the camera on kano hahaha legend

Idris in next Top Boy series would be incredible

bun 2 tings and spit the truth . respect guys great chat .

Love that character / actor contamination question!! Keep going K!

@51:40 that sounds like a really good miniseries idea! You can tell Idris is creative because he probably just made that up on the spot... 🤔

Oh my goodness .this is Epic ..you are both so amazing so talented v...thanku what a treat ....love an god bless x

Massive respect and love to you both. Saw your in Nottingham last year Kano... that show wow blew me away! Very inspirational conversation thanks for letting us be a part of it

Kano and Idris Elba use to live on the same street in East Ham

Sully reasoning with Stringer Bell. ❄️❄️

I know him as kano but my old man only knew him as sully until I told him enjoyed this a lot both of them interesting to listen to 💪

Why did it hurt me to hear Kano speak so honestly? It's such a great interview too x

1 of my favourite artists in music and one of my fave actors in film having a real conversation. Love this shit. Keep up the good work Kano. Legend

Kano I would love to meet you man💜

These are quality Gems. Got to big up Kano n even KZfaq for this content. Big role models both Kano n Idris. Thank you for what you’ve done for the culture n young generations to come 🙌🏾

Idris wid a spliff in him hand...i want to record in that studio..looks top notch..probably cost the earth to hire..

Lovely good honest banter between two Don's 💯🖤

Proud to be born in newham and live there for 4 yrs. Big up kano.

I hope you act again and I'm so glad you don't want to be type cast. You have something there, a pure talent. I hope all the doors of great opportunities open up for you Kano.

I enjoy watching interviews in general and this has to be one of my favourites...I’ll probably re watch it and I NEVER rewatch stuff 🤣 Amazing, interesting, engaging interview! I’ve rated and respected both of you separately for years and this just made my heart smile. Proud of you two legends! 🙌🏾💜 #UKlegends #blackkings

Love it, Idris talking about Stringer Bell to Kano, who plays Sully, both actors elevated these characters in their respective shows.

Interview Wiley next

UK Got the Best American Roles that legendary Forever. Top Boy X The Wire Legendary both these Guys 100.

Awesome interview, bought back memories of Newham 🙌🏽 you guys are absolute legends and very inspiring. 👌🏽

Love that you see Idris as a dad for advise

Jheeze East London gang n dat

I know he is English but it still trips me out when I hear Idris speak in his true accent... He is truly a great actor!!!

Nuff love from 🇺🇸 Keep these coming please! 💥💥💥

Kano, dont worry bro. This new generation have nothing on you for lyrical content and flow.

Best series on KZfaq

Two legends

Turn it into a series bro 👑

Kano do this every week. With a new guest! START A PODCAST PLEASE!

Very good conversation between both them .

That threshold talk at the end was so real made the Young Gun Kano think made me think. Big Up FOR REAL.

Thank you guys....Again all I can say is quite simply "The Business" 🎤

So lovely hearing these guys, especially K, talking mature, and man talk... No more 🥩 shit... Loving IE stoned 👀 too..!! 🤣

Any other Americans watching?

Hold tight the Upton Park & East Ham dons.

I am very familiar with these places… and it’s refreshing to hear you lads reminisce about: the patch .. the turf .. the hood 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

55:30.. That's very true.. I didn't know you rap.. I just knew you as that good actor from Top Boy. You got it Kano.

Kano needs to chat to 21 savage next

Kanos parents probably bought their food from Hamlins in Upton Park..the first to sell Carribean food in the ends..opposite Carlos the barbers..one of the only black barbers in the area them times. Come on thats Newham history.

Having a fan out moment. Talented brothers in music and acting, would love to see in a movie or series together. That would be Epic, Black Brilliance coming at you live. One Love ❤🖤💚

Enjoyed that, especially the last 20 mins, real talk. 👍

Good Talk Good People.. Shalawam

'I always fought about being put in a box'. The actors who play characters you're not expecting always make for great viewing and great admiration...And when they put something of themselves in the role it can be spellbinding. It"s just being true to yourself and not being bound by others thoughts. The Mrs loved Idris as an actor but when she saw him DJ'ing it blew her mind and she loved him even more..She wasn't expecting it she thought he just acted..

Good interview nothing less than what I expected from Kano

Legend has it Idris Elba has scored more goals for Argentina than Lionel Messi 🙈😂😜

Kano the absolute 🐏, the best ever, nobody and I mean nobody comes close

Love that he was burning a number the whole time

Kano...i love u in that Popcaan video. I listen to that video every morning on my 10 mile bike ride.

Two of my favorite ppl... I love Idris music ppl just be hating

Its so funny listening them talking about the manor like this. It brings back memories of my childhood & teens in the manor. East london born n bred. E13 if u know, u know

We Need A Kano & Idris Film/Series Make It Happen.....

Studio looks lit 😂 get me to Idris house 🙏😂💎

This interview is dope. 💯👌🏾
