If you've been around from those early 2000 days when grime emerged you'll understand everything wiley is saying

"THIS DOESN'T EFFECT ME IM A BADMAN WHATS WRONG WITH YOU. " - Real don

look at it through Wiley's eyes .. he is grime, and he's spent the best part of his life dedicated to building the genre up from pirate radio to the charts.

This is why Wiley is the godfather. Could have sold out a million times over. But still militant. 💯

I'm with Wiley he talks what people are shook to say

Wiley is a Real One. All the way From CT USA. Respect Godfather

Love Wiley. Unapologetically himself with real clout. Great point: over 12 millionaires from Grime and no investment to projects like Top Boy... Great thinking point

WILEY IS RIGHT!!!! ALL HE IS SAYING IS , IF I SCRATCH YOUR BACK WHY CAN'T YOU SCRATCH MINE???

If you could COPYRIGHT a scene/genre WIley would be a BILLIONAIRE

I feel like A dot was just lowkey throwing diggs at wiley.

💯 facts he is talking

a dot is clueless

Wiley is aware in a brainwashed world 👌

Real talk Wiley . Drake turning up when grime was on the up and drill starts popping. U telling me he didn't hear off grime and skepta when grime was struggling.. big up wiley

Wiley is a fine example of a truth speaker. Simpleton stormzy fake grime fans will say he’s hating. Real grime fans will know.

The big homie with that realness 🔥

I've been saying this for a while. I like Ed Sheeran but he definitely used a lot of the culture and urban artists on his way up.

When the godfather speaks you listen 👏🏽

This is one of the best and REALEST interviews. Mans calling out the pagans. I child of Jah. He makes some serious points. And the Top Boy part killed it. Ed is some ginger oik who real man dont listern too. Never heard of him til he X over to certain colabs. Wiley made a WHOLE genre and ppl love to forget what he has and continues to do. I like this Wiley full of fire and he has NO FILTER. Drake got bunout.

Wiley is woke.....

Fkn love Wiley man, always bangs the nail on the head

I found a new respect for wiley

Wiley's point is that blk ppl need to protect what they created. The labels will hang around let poor man build up the sound once it's hot you'll get lil mix remixing to start and next thing their official on the hip hop, rnb, dancehall, grime ting. The man dem who created the vibe slowly get pushed out the picture. Watch hip hop on 10 years will 10 times more pop than today.

Much Love to you Wiley! Much respect from the U.S.!!

Nah Wiley making hella sence youbgtta know grime from lord of the mic days to understand this

LMFAO he didn't mean the artist sting!!! He meant the Jamaican stage show they have every year called sting 😂😂😂

He ain't hating , he is venting and making a very valid point.

"Nuff a dem a pagan" - Wiley

Maddest ting, I'm now a Wiley fan more than ever.

'Your Moneys DEAD' 'I'll throw it in tower bridge' MY MAN!! 🤣🤣🤣

Finally good to be able to hear Wiley’s side. Ppl on twitter saying Wiley’s just a grumpy old man, yet all along Wiley was right! Scratch your back u scratch mine scenario. Glad u uploaded this clip because it’s great promo for the grime cards and I think u made the top grime reload serious too big up

You can tell by her questions she thinks its personal, also she works for the machine, she cant say what she really thinks, and also she moving very blind out here because she cant see certain truths, just like many others.....

Wiley knows this is about the beast (label) behind Ed and not Ed personally.

Wiley is so 💯 I now get him very well after listening to Drake trying to take credit for the success of Afrobeats just because he started working with them artistes from Nigeria.

Wiley clocked it , dropping facts 💯

I really do understand & respect what’s he’s saying, if you look hard enough you will see! 🔥👊🏾✊🏾 “It’s a game of chess not checkers”.

I feel him tbh every single advert for top boy had drakes name on it.

This interview will hurt a lot of peoples' feelings! Love how Wiley keeps it full-100

Big up Wiley for this because on a level he is far deeper than most. If your not in the loop you can't help even though you could have done when they went to others to bridge a gap. Stay strong brudda!!👊

The guy is woke. Straight facts anyone saying otherwise is tapped

Wiley got used basically and they shut the door on him after when he wanted to come in.

talking realness

Team Wiley all day. It’s uk’s time these guys jump on to stay relevant facts

Wiley's got his third eye opened!

Wiley I agree with you bro, most people in this world are just puppets on a string without even realising. The game’s the game though, if you can’t fix it just adapt and use people yourself and when people question your moves just tell them you’re dishing out the energy that the industry uses

Yep he's not mad, he's authentic. I hope Ed Sheeran hears this.

Brilliant interview the passion from Wiley. I got it 👊🏾🔥❤️

🗣From Blues to Jazz,House,Hip Hop some things never change! Different era's same 'Bad Minded' People!💯

the word is 'ingratiate' transitive verb : to gain favor or favorable acceptance for by deliberate effort - that's what Wiley was saying about Drake specifically. he does these acts to curry favor with the underground scene, and build his reputation and clout. But cleverly makes it seem like he's giving props to the artists and the scene when he's actually using them to further his own profile. same really in Ed Sheerans case. It's clever and sneaky behavior really. but no one really seems to spot it. I think that is why Wiley is a bit pissed about it

6:40 when my boss asks me why I'm late for work again. Best interview I've heard in a while

Big up man like Wiley for talking truth! Especially when people are so scared these days to talk out about fockri for fear of being seen as negative

Wiley knows bruv.. 100% woke

Everyone who tries to bread ain't always coming with good intentions. That quote right there!

Wiley old g loool dropped some points🤣 crazzzzzzzyy 👀🤔🎓

The first question reminds me of the kick in the door biggie interlude lol

Wiley would be more happy if he was in top boy

He ain't lying but man's sayin Wiley hating 😄😄😄

Godfather

Big up wiley godfather of grime. Remember he set of Dizzee career, Skepta, Chip and is a role mode to many others. So respect is needed and learn to give respect!

The comment regarding “why couldn’t our uk rappers bring back Topboy?” That is a good question!!!

What a legend 💯

I'm sorry....Wiley is the don...period

Wiley Has helped loads of MC’s in the game

Certain people don't get their respect in this game. Man like Wiley been doing this for years and get no regognition. Wiley, we love ya man.

I understand what Wiley is saying in a way... I listened to UK rap since the mid 90s on choice FM 279s show & Westwood None of the big names / big US rappers had ANY time for the UK artists.. or the scene.. few little features here or there.. a remix.. They would happily come over and earn the GBP when it was worth nearly double the dollar for concerts But no love for the UK... now the UK scene has grown nicely from within creating its own genre of music all of a sudden the big wigs wanna piece. You don’t want grime to go the way hiphop did.... where the independent companies got shot down Like that move where dash dash and the two others tried to create a big label but all ended up with cases 👀

"Stay away from culture vultures and Pagans. "

Ah now I understand, always liked Wiley now I love him

wiley’s a crackhead 🤣🤣 why does he keep singing “you need me man I dont need you” 😭

people better listen to Wiley . Imagine if if those names he mentioned came together and funded Top Boy . Where would Ed Sheeran be if the scene didn't accept him way back then ?.

What’s the name of that intro song? Not on Shazam

Wiley does his own thing, for better or for worse. He is a true artist.

This will sadly be lost on the masses probably , but we know what you mean Wiley

My man says my genre

Post Malone doing the same thing in Hip Hop.

He’s 100% bang on

Real talk from Wiley!

Tell Dem So Wileyy!! Wiley, Ed Shereen - If I Could........ Riddim

The new top boy isn't anywhere near as good as the old top boy . Fact . Wiley is a don he is the grandfather of grime grime is his baby

Wiley were all with you, man I can’t believe Ed Sheehan has a place in the shit that is going on now

Hes basically saying Ashley w dint come to him to ask for help instead of getting help from drake

Nuff a dem a pagen 😂

I agree with Wiley

o shit wiley tryna bring "nang" back im not lettin that one slide

He makes sense

Gta love wiley

He aint wrong thoe man, drake is the biggest culture vulture, done the same with popcaan n bashment

how can you not like wiley lol kinda seems like he does care tho, which isnt a bad thing

Wiley’s blood pressure is at some next level

You man love the Americans to much 🤣

Pretty sure Ed Sheeran was going back to back with Devlin before he blew up

I could have owned everyone in the seen. That’s so true.

What's that track at the start of this video please tell me what it's called and who sings it 🔥💥

"I'm going Ferrari" Classic Wiley, he's right on all points of course.

She said she questions his motives...... I'd love to know what she thinks his motives are

I agree with Wiley. Every word he said, facts.

🔥🔥🚀

The thing is yeah, Drake actually said barefaced that he bought back top boy ‘selfishly’ as a ‘fan of the show’. I’m not gonna go all Jordan Peterson here but if you read between the lines of the things he does, he always comes out the hero and get mad clout that almost overshadows the culture (I.e Top boy ‘saviour, J Hus saviour etc) and it makes you have to agree with Wiley because these people are always available when you blow but never when you want to grow. If there was any humility to him he would’ve done these things under the quiet but this in itself sounds bitter because it’s like when that pretty girl at school does a charity event for the homeless and gets average girls to work for her - she looks even prettier and the average girls possibly end up looking like butters plantation sidemen. #NotGodsPlan

I respect both the godfather and Ed...and I listen them both Drake...let's just say I've never been a fan, his whole image is just corny to me to use thier slang and his image affects his music not saying he dont make good music, I just don't feel nothing to do wid him that's all. Godfather spitting some truth people are gonna get wet and complain he's hating and it don't help that it's them who can't see the bigger pictures. You have to really understand the levels of creating something like a genre of music NOBODY will look at it like you do or feel about it like you that is a big part that we acknowledge but don't necessarily understand thru Wiley's eyes. Big up da Godfada certain man talking about your age so WHAT Grime is YOUR son kmt

GWAAARRRN WILEY BUSSIN TRUTH SHOTS

Wiley is 100000 real!!!! Everything he says is facts and no one likes the truth! As soon as people talk the through their crazy or on drugs kmt. Wiley will forever be the king of grime! 👑
