Releasing his debut studio album, Nostalgic 64 in 2013 while he was still in high school, Curry has since released three extended plays and four albums. His projects have placed prominently on the Billboard 200 chart and continue to garner significant international acclaim.

Most underrated artist, from the XXL freestyle. He was definetly overshadowed by all those other guys, but was by far the most talented one there.

Denzel Curry is a true artist. His perspective is worth hearing and his work is legitimate art and poetry that has evolved and changed as his life has. He has versatile range both in his lyricism and production, and his arc is worth highlighting. Don't let the negative comments coming from trolls (who posted almost immediately after the video dropped without enough time to even watch the clip) discourage you. This talk is thoughtful and intellectually engaging. Please give it a watch before forming an opinion.

Forreal bro no other artist has affected me in the same way as Denzel. It's still crazy to me that he isn't more known, because to me he's definitely one of the goats and can really make you think about all kinds of shit while going through different stages of life.

You can tell this crowd doesn’t really know his music by how few people raised their hands when he said “how many of y’all know me for yelling?” 😂

unsurprised a rapper of his stature would be invited to something like an oxford union qna. A lot of uk fans of rap and hiphop do like the general party rap but we also appreciate a plethora of outstanding artists who modl their talent into creative masterpieces from dave to stormzy to skepta and many more.

Bravo Oxford Union, expanding minds and bring perspectives and people to new audiences. Brilliant opener the breaking down of 50cents meaning, then how life in America is being coiled and ready for the punch. Hypervigelence as comfort, the heartbreaking legacy of Americans passed down generations. When interviewing a black rapper in America the development of his music the self awareness of it and then the passing and molding from not just words about anime but to gun violence, school shootings, and human rights. It's the evolution of an artist and a slice of history all in one. The comments 😔 To see that there is still this rascist genalization with rap music is exactly why more black artists from around the world need to be interviewed.

Denzel is a solid MC but someone should have briefed him on the audience. Life is not going to throw all those challenges at these people, they are Oxford students, they are privileged personified. Very very few people at Oxford know what it is like to be in a mind numbing job they hate.

@tanah6962 Жыл бұрын

yep, Oxford still has a quota to meet to take in working class and underprivileged students... a quota lol like thats one of the reminders they need to have on their phone. its actually mental. oxbridge will always be an exclusive club. I wished another university hosted him but nothing is as prestigious as oxford union discussion.

That’s a lot of assumptions bro. As someone who grew up poor and went to a prestigious university it’s really not all like that. Yeah the majority come from wealth but there are many, many students at these schools who are working part or full time while doing their classes just to survive. Don’t be so quick to judge others

@@mvttx9851 In the interview, denzel shares his journey as an artist. he talks about the hard parts of making music and being famous. he wants us to know how those things affected his feelings and mental health. denzel also says it's important to stay true to yourself as a creator. maybe you can't relate to everything he said. that's okay ig, his story is about his own life experiences. just because it's not like yours doesn't make it boring. i'm not trying to say you're wrong. i just want to help explain why i think he has good lessons to learn from.
