@@rolandparr314 sorry roland

SkemeKOS ..he came from an era where the creative weren't as business savvy as the grime generation. But for the most part there wasn't no internet. 50cent and Jay Z added an extra element to hip hop which was entrepreneurialism.

You the rapper skeme from london?

He was ripped off from that album and never got paid much

facts!

SkemeKOS real talk bro

Mans 15 and banging his tunes

@f wam shut up u wallad

Steve BB I'm 21, love music from lots of different times and genres and I totally agree with you. It was a different style back and more meaningful lyrics in uk rap Less bs

One of the best but not the best English Mc or rapper, Akala or Lowkey are better ....

@@progressivelife841 Skinny has his spot...dont play kid

He is surprisingly well spoken, pleasant on the ear

Defo In fact I wonder if he would like this opportunity or platform as he stands out in different ways

@@User10111 you must be new to skinnyman if u think him being articulate is surprising.

He is a fucking cool guy i used to sign on with him in archway job centre in about 2010/11

@@otgghosty6399 hope all is well g

Something tells me certain things like his criminal record would stop that ever happening. He got done for some mad shit with his ex that'd come back to stop him progressing in politics which is mad considerin loads of Tories are closet nonces

TheBirmingham Male trust me politicians got much shit they done or doing then skinnyman or any of us trust me....

Louder for those at the back. He might replace Corbzy when he retires

This is also a very good interview from Skinnyman kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b6iDfpNex9-wmqs.html

Nah he ain't the British 2pac 😂😂

@@progressivelife841 No because he is still alive and made one more classic album more than 2pac did

Tupac is nowhere near Skinny.

More like big L for me

Yep...only difference is skinny talks from the heart, Akaka talks from the head...would be a good combo

School of life & natural intelligence... Worldly wise & streetwise...

@@vanman757 👌🏻💯

@@channelsix6005 👍🏻🙏🏻✌🏻

That's because wisdom and education are two different things... His experience is knowledge and knowledge is wisdom 👊 doesn't matter how many GCSE , scholarships, PHD's etc... Experience is the true teacher ❤️

@@tw7286 ye man...

thanks man appreciated

Sarkozy but it wasn’t common back then I think

T H R I double L E R thats THRILLER! UKHH GOD.. Check out skinnyman and fliptrix latest bomb ting 💣💣💣💣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Well said my brudda... It's a council estate of mind motherfukkas. If you know you know. FUCK THE POLICE. NAZI BULLY RACIST CUNTS, EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM... 🐻 love skinnyman lol 😂

He kills the track with fliptrix as well.

big up @niknakshak for shedding some light for all of us that wasn't there, who won?

@@TheShed_ It wasn't a battle. Eminem did his set and got off stage. The crowd wasn't happy, booing and shouting. Skinnyman got up to freestyle and he was an uncaged beast on the mic. Brutal disses. It was awesome. I doubt Eminem heard it all though. Record label peeps had him on a tight schedule and the crowd was hostile. I remember them leaving quickly after his set.

Late to the party with this comment lol but I was there too, remember skinny man saying something like ‘fuck Eminem, London man better than all of dem’ and the crowd loving it

100% council estate, sagas of klashnekoff, original pirate material

Great time for UK music

💯

Skeme Rodney P days

Agreed first 2 uk hip hop albums I brought as well I remember waiting In ourprice or virgin what ever it was then waiting for it to come out

Let me try come n explain about the life we live surrounded by the negativity trying to be positive was my favouriteskinnyman bar

@@robertb9902 still blows me away when i here it now...."theres gonna be a massacre straight after the sun goes down "....hairs start standing

Quite incredible really

You know Skinny BODIED Common ON HIS OWN FUCKING STAGE?! He was asking for people to come up from the crowd to battle...andd Skinny fucking merked that man, seriously

Told this story a few times recently but one of my best mates (Craig B. from Lincolnshire, Blunt Smoke Crew!) used to hang with Skinny a bit back when he was really popping off (I remember seeing him myself with Mud Family at Fresh '98)....they were outside his block and Skinny had like an hour or summat to be in the studio to lay down a track. He gave one of the little youths from his ends a fiver to get him some chicken rice and peas and the kid goes to get his food. My mate said skinny had this battered Poska and a big-ish piece of cardboard he's found, thinks for a few minutes then starts writing. Little youth came back with the food in about twenty-odd minutes and Skinny had written a FULL TUNE. Not just a verse, but like three verses AND choruses. Had time to roll and smoke a spliff before the munchies came through too. Myself I saw him go through about 12 emcees like a knife through butter, when freestyle WAS FREESTYLE--Skinnyman can go on for fucking DAAAYYYSSSSS MAN. OH--and he fucking BODIED COMMON--ON MAN'S OWN STAGE!!!!

@@vollsticks, that sounds amazing!

i met him outside brixton jamm years ago. i instantly recognised him and he said hello. hes a lovely down to earth geezer and appreciates his fans. big up the General

@@The-X-Territory Unfortunately was not there for the Common gig (never rated him too hard, tbh) but Skinny's absolute destruction of Common on the mic became the stuff of legends. Ask any old head from that time (I think it was '99/2000) and they'll tell you how Common's face started to slowly, almost imperceptibly fall as he realised this wasn't some fucking amateur. I think he could have done one on Supernatural and taken his ring off him. Not that ring, his ITF ring, you dirty bastards EDIT: Yo, anyone readin this I'm open to correction, times, dates--I'm startin to doubt myself now that it was actually Skinny who bodied Common and not Chester P. or his Bro? My profuse apologies 'cause I fuckin' rate all those fellows; alst I really rmember that (from scene word of mouth, written reports, cats who were there) that at one point Common got so fucking flustered he came out with "You can't rap anyway, 'cause you're white" which got booed tf by the crowd...seeing as he's kind of just proven he could not only emcee but taken on, and obliterate, one of the most famous rappers in the whole fucking game at that point! No diss intended if it was Chester P. or his Brother's name who I always fucking forget, SORRY 🙏, but I'd love someone to clear this up. I think I was AT the gig when he came back home and asked the crowd who had his album--Big Daddy Kane was on (Rodney P. strutting around like a dick whose head couldn't fit through the door, only giving time to friends from THE LAHNDAHN SCENE and attractive ladies; generally being a real arrogant c**t ) on the bill, my memories scrambled, if you're reading this and remember hit me up, please!

Idalso be honoured but i know i will get burned He is sharp

happy birthday pal hoped you enjoyed

@@theone77443 yes sir.

thanks appreciated new stuff on the way

Real man won't take no gofundme. Bun that. I'm sure skinnyman dust himself down and kept it moving. Nobody don't need no charity hand out

I'd be down

I’d rather get a Kickstarter to get Council Estate of mind remastered and rereleased

He said he was brought up in Leeds not north London

moving house is a thing. he grew up in north london also

82 Dc he left Leeds as a kid

He lives in finsbury park

He was deffo on crack in them days

What pub was it?

Trying to Google to find out but me memory is failing me right now.. would have been 2008 I think. Might have been on our side of the water in gateshead I remember they went off walking over one of the bridges to get to their hotel on newcastle side

Geordie Kev that’s awesome bro!

Got ripped off badly !!

Ricochet Klashnekoff - Sagas, around the same era, has gotta be a contender also..
