It's almost like a tradition to come back and listen to this every now and then.

The world needs Lowkey now more than ever ✊🏼🇵🇸

This is what you call a proper fire in the booth freestyle still bangs in 2023

Came back to this just to remember how much integrity lowkey has, a rap genius who gave up everything in his pursuit of truth.

How people are hating he would rip 99% of rappers to shreds. Deffo needs to comeback

10 years later Its still the sickest thing I’ve ever heard

2024 knows we need him

After 12 years….this is STILL the hardest fire in the booth ever. 💯👏💯🔥💯👏💯

QUOTE FORM CHARLIE SLOTH NOISEY INTERVIEW "Lowkey’s was at a time when 'Fire in the Booth' were done live. I think he was the second person to ever do one and it was insane. They’re all pre-recorded now and artists get a lot more time and if they mess up they get to go again, but this was live and that was a moment. I can’t help the way I react, people get annoyed by it, but that’s just how passionate I am about the music. I can’t contain myself; I’m like a little kid smashing away at the screen. I just get blown away by it all."

spoke to him on the tube 2 or 3 months ago.. says he's studying for a PHD.. So much respect for this guy. This is too much!

The greatest MC to ever brace the microphone. Been listening to you since I was 11. Im 24 now !!

Who's still listening then 👀👀

Lowkey: Turn up the beat Me: *Turns up sound*

4 years now and this fire in the booth still hasnt been extinguished.

Back here again after listening to the return of lowkey

I have no idea how I'm only seeing this now. I thought i seen all the best FITBs with Wretch, Akala, Mic Righteous etc. But this is the best thing ive ever seen. Absolute incineration to the mic.

Lowkey will ALWAYS be a LEGEND in the booth.

Charlie Sloth could have a three-course meal and Lowkey would still be going. Real hip-hop.

Over a decade of appreciating this song

Lyrical - 10/10 Flow - 10/10 Delivery - 10/10 Cadence - 10/10 LOWKEY FUCKING KILLED IT!!!!!

Lowkey isn't just a rapper, he's a pure poet, he needs to come back. I know uni is important for him but this guy is such a inspiration, he's letting his fans wait for too long, his message is going cold even though it shouldn't.

Best fire in the booth ever despite being more than 10 years old. Nothing will ever top this, absolute fire 🔥

Came here to clean my ears after Drake's freestyle

No way this is at 3 mill views ive watched it about 2.5 mill times myself

The ABC part blew up my brain, hahahaha.

9 years later. 👀👀👀😬😬

This tune always takes me back to being a teen

I've watched this so many times and I clock a new bar every time. That Madeleine mccan reference just made me realize how long this has been going on for

He was one of the only people who performed it LIVE. Most rappers can re-do thier verses. He said this ENTIRE THIG in one take.

Akala and lowkey have the best fire in the booths

Who's listening in 2020? Lowkey is still killing it 10 years on. Respect!

this will forever be the sickest fire in the booth

13 years later this is still undoubtedly the best FITB.

I listen to this like several times a week lately while reading the lyrics online with it. All in one take and it sounds like he is never out of breath and he self-censors. Blown away each time.

Still one of the greatest

"PICK ME UP PICK ME UP" aint no man ever picking charlie up.

LOWKEY IS BACK!!!!! I HAD TO RUN THORUGH TRAFFIC LIGHTS AFTER HEARING THAT

loved it when it was released back in the day, more profound respect on every aspect of this as the years go on - nothing but respect

7:56 - 8:00 is just the cleanest flow I have ever heard.

Man should drop spitting and start running fam, man's got 18 lungs.

3 years and I'm still listening to this daily! Lowkey is the UK rap legend!

Legendary freestyle

12 years later and still the sickest FITB 🔥

Bring him back for a part 3!!! Can’t stop watching this since 2010

Man completed the ABC still😂😂

lowkey is the very definition of a true artist, he's with a purpose and won't be contained or silenced by the government. Much respect!

Lyrically, this might just be the best fire in the booth ever recorded. Seriously fucking good. 👌

Never gets old.

Lowkey bro. Still killing it 6 years later !

Bring this guy back. He needs to end careers we got jokers in the scene atm

needed to come back after the piers morgan

After all this time it’s still as epic as I remember !

Back when Charlie wasn't a corporate machine. Bring back real hip hop Charlie. The Truth is needed.

one of the best freestyles of all time hands down.

Still bangs 13 years later.. wretch’s, kano and akala was lethal, but this set the bar

Only discovered this last week, must have listened to it at least 50 times in the last week

6 years later. Still goes in!

HE MURDERED THE WHOLE FUCKING THING! NO FIRE NEEDED THIS MAN MADE FIRE!

Whether you're in H.M.V *(a British music store)* or K.F.C, H.M.P *(Her Majesties Prison)* or A&E *("accident and emergency* " is UK 'emergency room' at hospital) I'll make them see AND let you know the CASE. From LDN or NYC on the MIC I'm M.I.B like BIG, the M.V.P, V.I.P til the END. E.G: my C.D, is way too D double EP *(spells DEEP, also reference to British rapper "D Double" and an album/CD is called an EP, he's saying his is twice as big as any other)* - That goes for your TV screens, DVD or BBC, ITN or ITV *(British media corporations)* COP's say "ID please!" STOP like IC3 *(his police ethnicity identifier, for example IC1 is white, IC2 black etc)* wanna see me hooked to an I.V, G *("medical equipment bro!")* , in the I.C.U *(intensive care unit)* but I'm NOT. They went O.T with the MOB. Can't see me through the FOG, don't cuss mothers of S.O.B's. These MC's are O.A.P's *(old age pensioners)* wanna hype up? I'm like "Okay G! You think you're BAD?! Get a PEN and a PAD!" If the CIA and the FBI, Mi6 and the Mi5 jump on The A3 *(an A3 is a surveillance drone, A3 is also a major highway thru London)* then I drive, turn up the AC, FYI M.J like PYT, LOL I never TYP *(I can't help you here!)* I EAT on EID *(Eid is a Muslim celebration, a feast at the end of fasting)* , Twist CID *(police)* like Levi jeans. DIE like B.N.P! E.D.L just B.F.G's *(BNP is "British National Party", EDL is "English Defence League", both right wing/anti immigrant/anti muslim "organisations")* Youths don't want no GCSE's *(high school exam qualifications in UK)* they want C.O.D on the PS3. I'm like D.P or P.E *(Dead Prez or Public Enemy)* or KRS from BDP on your MP3, send it to your MP *('Member of Parliament', elected representative in the UK)* or MTV. You're not on this thing like A.D.D *('attention deficit disorder')* , your C.D I rate P.G, like KKK's with A.K's, my aka is AA. Take you off the road ASAP! DDTV's JLS MC's *(shit music channels with shit "rap")* *- dustisdeadbodies85*

10 years later i hear it again and had multiple moments feeling shivers. amazing

At first, I heard the audio only and I thought Charlie Sloth censored everything, only to find out that Lowkey censored his own verses. Probably the nicest, most respectful rapper in the industry.

After all these years this is still the best fire in the booth!!

MOST UNDERRATED MC EVER

went for a 20 min walk at 730pm. decided to play this song on repeat and ended up walking for 8 hours. Forgot i lived in Melbourne 2020 and have a 8pm-5am curfew. Was hard to explain to police , so i showed them the song and they released me , didn't have to wear a mask either

Lowkey bodied that beat.

Like Wretch 32 said this is the best Fire in the booth

Came here after he set piers on fire for his hypocrisy on Palestine 😂

"Till he caught a silly Billy villian chillin in the jam sippin champs spliff in his hand trigger didnt jam bang bang biddy bang biddy biddy bang now hes in the can thinking damn what a pity fam" was the hardest part to memorize for me.

I had to lay down in an icebath after I was done with this video.

now this really is Fire in the Booth....... best I have ever heard as he actually saying something........... love this loads.... big up LOWKEY and massive respect to Charlie Sloth........ this is unbelievable... shut them other MCs up innit

“Laugh at my people while you criminals bomb them.” Mic. Dropped. 🔥

It's been emotional, these bars really helped me take my life back!

How many others watching this video again because Lowkey made a comeback?I know I am!! Welcome back to the living legend!

Lowkey,akala,logic,imortal technique,mic righteous best rappers out there

This greatest fire in the booth "ever".

This is a cult classic from FITB and its a great honour to come back here and listen to it one more time

lowkey s the best UK rapper in a generation keep rappin HARD.......

PEOPLE WHO COMPARE RAPPERS MUST READ Firstly, how do you rate the skill of a rapper? Flow? Speed? Vocabulary? Passion? Fire?... The list continues. My point is this: Everyone brings something different, so who is 'THE RAP GOD' is down to personal opinion. There isn't really any scoring to rate rappers, but I like to rate rappers on the intelligence in their bars, punchlines flow and passion. This guy destroys all of that, he rapped the ABC ffs, how long did he take to write this? Much respect, mans got mad style

I really wish people would listen to Lowkey. This is fire on so many levels

We need this lowkey back

Lowkey and akala did the best fitb, hands down

best fire in the booth nothing will beat this

return of lowkey brought me back 😂

Yea man this put uk rap on the map for me

Had to come back to give it 5 stars

Lowkey, Akala, Immortal Technique, Logic and many more that im looking for you all rock and beat in my heart keep the good beat on :)

I’m a 46 year old Middlesbrough man watching this , he’s fucking another level !!!!

Lowkey: *rapping* Breathing: Am I a joke to you?

He's back.

Hi 3.8 million people, can some of you listen to one of Lowkey's albums on youtube? maybe "soundtrack to the struggle" as that has only 0.5 million views. Trust me you will not be dissapointed, its in the top 5 hip hop albums ever made. (number one for me)

It's been over a decade. the vibe is getting stronger & stranger over time. That was the literal fire in the booth.

You can’t wit lowkey 10 years later and no ones topped this

Lowkey and Akala are the best to ever do it

Still watching this in 2016 cuz my heating just turned off

Such talent ,masterclass , ''so fast you'll need a taxi'' brilliant.

Poetry..❤

this world is so fucked, got lil wayne, fetty wap and those fucking mongs leading the charts and representing rap right now.. and then theres this with what, 3 mill views, this one video alone rips most rappers apart and whenever i try tell people of today about the good old rappers that actually spit truth and can actually rhyme and there like ''your a mong'' and all that shit, as if im the only one that listen to this type of rap and old rap with actual meaningful songs, pisses me right off, guess there just blinded and fucking branwashed by todays shit... also check my channel;)

LOWKEY, AKALA & MIC RIGHTEOUS are the only ones who spit REAL fire in the booth! NOBODY can top them!‼️🔥👏🏻💯

Wtf bro ive been listening to this over a decade! I repeat it 2 -3 times and keep learning each time ! Lowkey isn't human much more of an angel sent as a form of man

theres no comparison.skepta, wiley, akala and co must all privately admit that this is the best grime set ever produced.and im a huge wretch fan. rap/grime fan in general but this right here is some genius,once in lifetime sh!t.
