I used to think drake was catting London slang but it's not that. Specifically in Toronto, the blacks there are migrants form the carribbean/west Africa, so their slang has the same (predominantly) Jamaican origins as ours which is why they have the same words/phrases/structure that you typically hear in london. A lot of us Londoners are first/second generation migrants; i.e. our parents or grandparents were born in carribbean/africa so we are much closer to the culture, just like in Toronto It's different in America because most of the blacks there are from slaves and haven't got the same 'homeland' cultural definition as us and where they do it isn't as strong because they've been 'out of the loop' for a lot more generations

@Kim-427 4 жыл бұрын

@@020701304 This is an old comment but I needed to respond.Many of you that are of carribean descendants and African in London and Canada yes may know your roots.But,Many black Americans have the same roots.In spite of not knowing precisely where our origins our we have managed to make a hell of an American culture for ourselves that is duplicated throughout the world.So,I wish many of you people of color from London and Canada stop trying to minimize who we are and what we have built for ourselves.While many of you know where you come from your presence in the countries that you are in and your strides can be seen as minimal compared to the accomplishments of the slaves that ended up in America.

@@Kim-427 I'd agree with most of that, I didn't mention it because it wasn't the focus of the point I was trying to make. the culture you have built is a result of what I was saying.

Lol it's funny in interviews like this with Skepta, he usually goes on about a deeper mission with the whole grime scene, pure ting. Interviewers be cutting him off after his rant and be like "so what's up with Drake" lool who cares about Drake, the mission is deeper right now
