Castella freestyle is an absolute must!! Probably some of his best work and so slept on!

Castella freestyle is a must! Also recommend Bru-C inhaler blow your mind

Devlin Ghetts Kano Skepta Wiley ❤

You need to react to devlin castella and his daily dupppy 🔥

Castella and Zdot freestyles by Devz gotta be coming soooon👀💯 another dope reaction guys🍻

My top 5 is ghetts, wretch, kano, devlin, that 5th spot is a tough one.. ill come back on that slot. You should listen to top 3 selected remix

There are 3 pillars of Grime. Godfathers...KANO, DIZZEE RASCAL and WILEY. They're the most respected (maybe not Wiley as much these days, but you can't take away from him that he basically started this shit). Commercial greatness is SKEPTA and STORMZY. I would say due to staying power and a constantly evolving style GHETTS and P MONEY are becoming the best if the best still active. DEVLIN is up there as a TOP MC with the likes of JME and LETHAL BIZZLE and a handful of others. I would say KANO is most respected, though. Other names to mention are CHIP, FRISCO, DURRTY GOODZ, SCORCHER. Based on all that, my list is- 1. GHETTS 2.KANO 3.P MONEY 4. WILEY 5.JME DIZZEE RASCAL is a bit to commercial for me these days.

Devlin is 100% top tier! UK legend

Kano, Ghetts, Dizzee, Chip, Devlin, Skepta, Wretch 32, Akala, JME, P Money! I think them guys are deffo top 10! 💪🏽 great reaction guys! Keep up the good work 👊

Dizzee Rascal, kano, rolldeep - as a Collective (look them up), D double E and splinta. Some of my favorites.

Really hope you guys come to the UK one time deffo hit up the pubs

One that needs to be done it’s ghetts Kano skepta radio set part 1-3 or a old school track ghetts devlin Wiley shifty 123 banger if you know you know that’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Best grime artist is a tough one. You have Wiley who started it and had a dream. You had Dizzie rascal who twisted it up and comes with levels you see today but various forms. You have ghetts/ghetto who has unique all over. P money just lights up the race/festival defo one to see live. Then you have the og Kano. You have Chip with his pen. Not everyone’s favourite but everyone knows how lethal he is which puts him always up there. Skepta is more simple but is still so sick. I listen to all of the above. Maybe i vibes to P money more than all of them but each one has a special place on my heart. Especially Dizzie. 11 years old, year 7 2002 was the year he dropped boy in da corner. It changed everything for me. Although jungle at 9 years old on a Walkman pirate radio was the real eye opener.

Check out the track YOUNG GUNS , IT features Devlin and ed Sheeran again it's a classic and very clever , I watched it 3 times B4 I realised they were talking about the elements earth wind fire and water , clever , interested what u think of the track

sox and mangas set is also a must watch... sox goes off and mangas reactions are hilarious

Kano will always be number one for me, as an overall artist and grime mc nobody better imo. Ghetts would tell you the same, he practiced his flow back to back with Kano.

People will always bring up Wiley, Kano, Dizzee as being the best popular OG artists. JME and Skepta always get a mention, they did a lot for the genre. In terms of an undeniable skillset, regardless of influence or popularity, Ghetts and P Money tend to be the big 2 artists who can't escape the conversation. D Double, Chip, Devlin, and Frisco are also highly revered as top 5 artists for many people, all extremely talented in different ways. I don't think there's universally an agreed upon GOAT but I think Ghetts is the one who basically never gets left out of a top 5 list no matter who you ask.

You really need to look at devlin more! I’m my opinion he is best uk lyricist in a long time. Bud, sweat and beers is an elite album.

Top 5 grime- Devlin ghetts chip wiley sketpa-JME joint 5th it’s a hard on so many D double e frisco Kano 😂 I couldn’t choose 4th and 5th but top 3 is certified ✅ i’ve just realised you’ve not done Devlins daily Duppy 🔥 forgot about Dre instrumental kills it

Devlin has been a genius since he first come along Should listen to Ghetts birthday Bash - fuck radio Got so many people passing through spitting bars over an hour set. Loads of vets of this set and a bag of mc’s you wouldn’t have heard of before You can watch the whole thing in video form or there’s 5 parts cut up but no video with this

It's hard to pick the best or top 5 but for me Wiley was the beginning of it all on his album the last track was a beat he made & when UK rappers at the time heard it, it changed everything & after that grime started to grow, Dizzie rascal was also a massive part. I would say Ghetts-Devlin-Kano-Wiley- Dizzie rascal or chip

“Who is considered the best grime artist?” It’s so hard to make this list because it depends on what criteria you are using to define “best”. Technical rapping ability? Versatility? Live performances? Radio sets? Making good songs? Making good albums? Clashing/rap beefs? Impact and influence on the genre? This isn’t my finalised list, or even in any order. It’s just some names that spring to mind. Kano, Ghetts, Wiley, Skepta, jme, p money, manga st hilare, chip, dizzee rascal, D double E, dot rotten, durty goodz, flowdan, devlin, bugzy malone, frisco, I’m sure there’s some I’m missing, but these are all greats

Hard tracks love it that u guys love r Uk scene 😎👊👍👌✌

Ghetts has become the Goat for me as hes continued to evolve and Conflict of Interest was an underrated masterpiece, although its arguably no longer strictly grime. but it was Kano before that. I will say though that for me personally, Kano fire in the booth is as good as anything Ive ever heard from any MC, any era, any genre. He smoked that verse so hard whilst telling stories and truths like you're watching movies with your village eldars. Its maybe been matched but bettered!?

My Top 5 in grime has to be. -Skepta - PMoney -Ghetts -JME -Wiley (You need to react to some old skl Skepta!)

Ghetts, Kano, Devlin, P Money, Skepta, Wiley

my personal top 5 D double E - the goat full stop P money - just a solid all rounder Tempa T - pure vibes President T - most unique flow Wiley - best flow in the game

Wiley, Ghetts, Kano, Dizzee, D double E, Frisco - all considered some of the greatest

My top 5 Devlin, ghetts, chip, p money and dizzee rascal.

Devlin and Skepta were in a movie together called Anti-Social

Ghetts is easily the best grime artist. He was one of the best when grime was pure grime and he's now taken it to new levels. Ghetts - Fine wine Ghetts - Laps (his latest release thats just dropped) Still very much grime but he's taken it to the next level. Absolutely no contest.

Wiley kano skepta in that order. Check some of the lord of the mic videos all the uk grime artists are on them. Some iconic shit

Devlin also dropped a DNB freestyle this year on my mates channel DNB POLITICS - DEVLIN

Harry Shotta the first fire in the booth 🔥🔥

You need to do Skepta’s 1xtra freestyles there in the top 10 freestyles in the uk

Devlin and wretch...off with there heads boys its 🔥🔥🔥

Ghetts, devlin, griminal, lil nasty, Maxsta and dolla freestyle tim Westwood. 💯💥

Yes lads ❤

shout out Dagenham 💯

2:36 Ouff! This will be interesting!

Wiley is the Godfather for me . Skepta and kano thay my top 3 . But so many to choice from . The UK is killing it .

Wiley, Skepta, Dizzie Rascal, Chip, Ghetts

You guys gotta do Skepta - It Aint Safe !!

Don't know about order but Kano Devlin Ghetts Wiley Skepta Dizzee should be on the list too but I slightly prefer the others, shout out to JME, P Money and Frisco too

Lyrically no one’s touching Devlin to this day

Best in grime? hard to say 1 name, I think of it like this (and I am sure some others may disagree, some will agree) *Best MC in terms of skill? sheer ability to spit and play with flow , rhythm and where rhymes appear in creative ways? has to be Ghetts (check ANY Ghetts Daily Duppy, FITB, etc and you will see and hear his mastery) *Best pen in terms of the poetry, but also the flow of the language itself? IMO its Wretch 32 (check "Antwi" for an underrated but great Wretch track that shows his pen well) *Best style on the mic (coupled with great technical MC ability and a very gifted pen) ...its Kano (check "Garageskank" for a great "summer tune", good bbq tunes) *And you have to give Wiley props for being the OG/Godfather, and on certain tracks killing it as much as any name I have mentioned. (check out Wiley freestyle on Westwood , which is a dope freestyle session, and Wiley feat Devlin "Holygrime", has to be one of my favourite tunes all time, both of them absolutely DESTROY the beat and the beat is hard, PRIME Devlin verse MUCH better than the bars on the Skepta tune, and PRIME Wiley...being Wiley and spitting his ass off) This is all my opinion, others may differ, but this is my basic layout of thinking with Grime artists, there are so many great MCs I have not mentioned, and many that are kind of connected to Grime but not always doing specifically Grime. Grime is always 140bpm ,high energy aggressive, "Holygrime" by Wiley feat Devlin is a good example of what Grime is in a polished sense, but it came out of Dancehall sound clashes , which is basically like battle rap so there is that whole aspect of Grime that you never see in Daily Duppys, FITB etc

There is sooo much older uk you have missed!! All the old grime sets, clashes etc. Good work as always. 🍷

Back in the day the king of grime title was a back and forth between wiley and skepta. Both real ogs in the grime community. I'm 30 so I'm going back from about 15 years maybe. I grew up on og grime. But for "some" top grime artists. I'm no order and just off top of my head Kano Wiley Skepta P money Jme Ghetts Pretty much anybody from boy betta know (BBK) Bashy.

Must see : Skepta - Plugged In W/Fumez The Engineer | Pressplay. Also see : Dave clash

smoked so much herb in them blocks back in the day lmao

Everybody's top 5 will differ as we have so many artist that can take a spot. You ned to check out the fekky still sittin here remix with skepta etc

Devilman, Sox and Jaykae from birmingham. Ghetts is one of the best grime mc's of all time for me, all mentioned above are worth checking out.

This is a bit hard because i don't consider some as 'Grime' artists even though they may get called that like Wretch i would say was more UK rap even though he came up in the grime scene or Akala, Mic etc i would say were more conscious rap this is just my opinion though. So top old school grime artists for me are Ghetts, Kano, Devlin, Dizzee, Wiley, P Money, Chip, Skepta, JME, Durrty Goodz, Lethal B, D double E. etc UK rappers, Wretch 32, Avelino, Krept & Konan, Bugzy, Potter Payper, Giggs, Fredo etc Conscious rap, Akala, Dave, Lowkey, Mic Righteous, Logic, etc

My top 5 grime im not 100% on the order but looking at what I always go back too is Ghetts Devlin Kano Dizzee Rascal Wiley D double E JME Big narstie, specifically his fire in the booth and the BDL bipolar album More than 5 but it is what it is. There isn't an order to that but if I had to choose my favourite I'd say ghetts, I remember when calm before the storm came out I listened to that album more than any album I've ever listened to, artillery was my favourite track, the only thing that comes close is the marshal mathers LP or dre 2001 in hours listened, mad how I put ghetts up there with em and dre but I do think he's that good

Maybe give SIDEWINDER shows a listen where a lot of artist back to back before was played on the radio . Grime top 5 has to be the originals … 1 . Ghetts 2 . Kano 3. Wiley 4. Durrty goodz 5. Lethal Bizzle ( more fire crew ) give POW a listen So solid crew .. is also pretty much where the grime scene started from give them a look more garage scene but what grime evolves from pretty much .

If we’re talking top 5 five greatest legendary Grime mcs it can only be: Kano, Ghetts, D double E, Wiley and Dizzee. But for top 5 most highly skilled mcs on the Mic imo it’s gotta be: Kano, Ghetts, P money, Griminal and D double. Hard not to put Trim, Flowdan, Dot Rotten and Wretch in there too.

Wiley is probably the best at grime as he was the one that made so many people aware of it, back in the day when grime was grime, no one was touching Wiley👌🏼

Wiley, Dizzee,Kano,Ghetts and Devlin. 6 Chip

Honestly you guys need to check out Flirta D for something completely different. He's an OG of the grime scene but his style is like nothing else you've ever heard! Check out his "the lift" freestyle to get an idea of what he can do

D Double E, P Money, JME, Skepta, Kano - Give Game Over by Tinchy Stryder a listen too this features a lot of different artists

The first punch can kill, if you are punching you must be aware of that. The judge won't give you additional understanding because it was only one punch 😅

GHETTS TOP OF THE TREE

p money and skep arein their own league imo Merky ace is my all time favourite

Devlin ghetts max nasty ect Tim Westwood freestyle trust me ghetts n devs are savage

Everyones opinion will differ but probably very slightly. Dizzee rascal has the best grime album in UK history. Wiley pioneered the sound is considered the godfather Skepta was an original pioneer too and transcended further than anyone else Ghetts and kano also considered top 5 in almost everyones list Chip should also get an honourable mention Theres loads that can be listed but these guys were there from the beggining and still doing it now

EdSheeran-Take Me Back to London (Sir Spyro Remix)

im from aus over here alex jones is the best also wombat, uk id say dot rotten, devlin, wiley, ghetts, chip, griminal, skepta but kano and p money are also dope and even though im not a big fan d double e is massively respected as a uk grime legend, jme is an honourable mention too

Best artists to come out of grime is a matter of opinion, depending on what factor you see as most important (bodies of work, pioneers/builders of the scene, producing aswell as mcing, or just strait mcing ability in a grime rave/set). But generally the discussions are between: D double e, devlin, kano, ghetts, wiley, skepta, dizzee rascal Other top tier/elite status artists that are up there are: p money, jme, frisco, chip, dot rotten For me personally all of the above are the elite, but theres other legends such as flirta d, griminal, crazy titch, footsie, president t, scorcher, earz was cold back in the day as well Hope this helos with your research, big up for the content man - nice to see people from abroad enjoy and respect the scene. 👊✌️✊️👏

One of chase and status' songs from this year with becky Hill,would love you to react to this one please ❤

For me i think its hard to classify a Top 5 as many of artists drift between many different sub categories of rap. Eg hip hop, drill, freestyles, grime, pop rap, r&b rap, MCing which sits within jungle/ d&b and house music- with rapper etc Also not forgetting spoken word and battle rap that are a little on the periphery The only few who are ' grime centric' are Ghetts, Wiley , Skepta, Chip, Devlin JME and the rest of BBK..plus others Whereas others blend or do bits of this and that eg Dave, Mic Righteous, Ocean Wisdom, Dizzee, Stormzy, Kano id also put in this grouping , etc I think weve a remarkable mass of artists that flex their creativity and reach and produce some cool sounds and some profound works of art

Dev’s is an animal- check out his community outcast - tune too

you have to listen to skepta- it aint safe

Check out Roll deep - badman Great video too that really highlights uk gang culture

Wiley, kano, devlin, jme, ghetts, d double e, chip. Didnt think too long on the order but deffo wiley & kano at the top.

Durty Goodz no.1 if you know you know. Listen to 2 fast 2 ferocious, him and skibadee mixtape. It's on KZfaq. They go track for track with a few other British artists in as well. Durty is a real OG in grime. J2k heat in the streets mixtape Vol1 and 2. Those are on KZfaq. Bashy your mum Vol1 and chuppa chubs mixtape. Also a huge OG one of best grime artists Flirta D grime runs in his blood. Find any of his tracks and you will see.

Top 5s a hard convo its subjective really personally right now kano,p money, ghetts,chip but gotta always have d double or dizzee

Have you listened to Remtrex - elite session yet? Naughty grime freestyle from a real one.

Please check out the Tim Westwood grime sets with Devlin Ghetts lil nasty and griminal

Please get on Casisdead. Dude is in a complete different lane to everyone else. Off his new album Marilyn or Venom

Skepta’s at the top if you ask me

I'm sure the beat of a sample from lil wayne 6ft 7ft

durrty goodz is the king of grime. If you disagree you dont know listen to switching songs - durrty goodz its the best grime record or listen to marijuana - durrty goodz its a beatiful record

Chip Mic Righteous Dizzie Wiley Devlin

Boys love the devin train but yous still need to check the diss tracks back and forward with Wiley there old but it shows why no one goes for devlin he is a G.O.A.T please check them out there’s a few 🙏❤️🇬🇧
