The best beats are ones that use samples. And the great thing is those beats that are used for songs that gets millions of plays will keep the original music, the sample, alive by bringing those artists and their songs a new audience. I've looked up countless samples just out of curiosity alone, and I usually end up adding a lot of them to my playlists.
He's really just bringing up UK music history that a lot of UK music listeners would know, and Skepta is acting suprised a lot of the time. "President T" for example is an established UK Artist with tens of millions of streams...
DJ Zinc isn't the most outlandish artist to know but I think Skepta is more surprised at the fact someone from outside the UK is able to talk to him about the history of UK underground music
Dunno if releasing this episode today was done on purpose but it was really nice to see M.C Duke get a shout out a day after he unfortunately passed away, a true legend.
What? Skepta made it being interviewed by the man himself but you really think Nardwuar thought omg finally I'm interviewing Skepta when he's interviewed loaaaads of bigger names 😂😂😂😂😂
This was such a good interaction bruh I love that Skepta was really living through the Nardwuar experience after being aware of it. Bro was dumbfounded 16:3413:24 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Skepta is super bright. I loved how he was able to quickly and clearly explain the history of UK Hip Hop names, while creating a parallel comparison to the US Hip Hop scene using 'Lil'
For real, Skepta and JME are absolute UK legends, period. Especially love how humble they are even at the top and how they respect the culture/history of UK rap/hiphop. Big up Big Smoke and JME. BBK!
I been waiting for this interview since 2016 Skep thank you for being always a better version of yourself and being the same person at the same time that shit is crazy. Thank god nardwar got this finally done.
M.C Duke died on 21st Apr 2024, and this video was uploaded on 22nd Apr 2024, meaning most likely Sketpa was gifted the M.C Duke record on the day of his death...R.I.P M.C Duke
@@crazyfalang8420 what a time to be a kid. Used to play football up pickets lock on a Saturday then take the w8 down. Surprised didn’t get jacked to be honest!
Never thought I’d hear President T mentioned on Nardwuar. One of the coldest in Grime, check out his tunes with Skepta if you want to get into Grime music.
Having grown up in london listening to skep, hes the british goat. I dont think he even realises his cultural impact and im grown now. Keep being you skep microphone champion 🏆
@@maxway7465 yeah that's how I knew about him primarily, early jungle/hardcore is my favourite music, although I am partial to a bit of hip-hop as well
Man I miss skepta albums, would be nice to see another grime mc typa thing going on from him, good to see he’s just as down to earth as him n Jme ever been
R.I.P MC Duke. Still play ‘I’m Riffin’ to this day. Thanks to Nardwuar and Skepta for mentioning him. There’s a whole group of UK Hip Hop pioneers who don’t get the accolades and respect they deserve. Hope this changes soon.
for anyona watching this, schola used to send beats to Ed when Ed was 15 or so in 06. Eventually schola sent a beat with Eds vocals to Slix who was in Ruff skwuad, that’s when the whole Ed ting in grime started
Wee Papa Girl Rappers were originally Fergal Sharkey’s backing singers. From London. Sisters too. Remixed by the legend Kevin Sanderson. Top interview. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Incredible interview, Skepta has always kept it real and never let fame change him. Hardware also a legend of the game. This was a great collab for the culture
The crazy thing is that Skepts was really active before thing went digital so for Nardwuar to know things about skepta's early career and the people he would link with before his meridian days is really impressive
Immediately looking up that Wee Papa Girl rappers - Kevin Saunderson Detroit house mix... I already know he mixed it up correct. Big ups Smoke and Nardy ❤️
As a Brit I actually love him. He’s got such a good outlook on life and for me he’s the only real rapper in the UK. He’s the goat, JME the deputy and J Hus the secretary
The Journey that you are able to take the Artist trough is Off the charts ! i like to see a genuine moment of nostalgia rediscovered. like lacing mind pears one by one. Leaving us with a clearer understanding what has made us who we are.
Amazing to see Skepta trying to keep up his persona and slowly find it harder and harder to keep it together. So good to see artists respond emotionally. Nard the GOAT
Nardwaur never disappoints with his journalism superpowers! I love seeing artist's reaction to his research. MAJOR salute to Skepta! He was the first UK rapper I got hip too and that sent me down the rabbit hole of the Grime genre. Real life legend!
There used to be a record shop in Edmonton Green Shopping centre I used to go there a lot to get Meridian crew vinyls, used to see skepta in there a few times
I still playing the Wee Poppa Girls remix by the great Detroit techno legend Kevin Saunderson. Props to Nardwuar to snap that up. It's like that, yeah It's like that, so heat it up It's like that, yeah It's like that, so heat it up!
My favorite thing is that point when nardwuar overwhelms the guest with a barrage of the obscurest references from their lives, and they just stop trying to understand how he knows and accept it. And then does it all over again for 30 minutes. Thanks for this itw.
Nardwuar vs JME would be 2 hours long 😂
Bro's been everywhere 😂😂😂
True stories 😂😂
Factssss 😂
serious 😂
Both would match each other’s energy 😂
Narwuar wants everything to be sampled 😂😂😂

For the love of the music 🙏🏻
the only way hip hop is supposed to be

The all Nardwuar compilation album is going to be a 5 parter
Never would think Nadwuar would mention Edmonton green shopping centre 😭
hes canadian he has to know!
Rt 😂😂😂😂
Nah bmt😂
Nardwar does his due dillagence and more in every interview. Not seen a one where the interviewees were not stumped by his knowledge of their come up.

Ay yo nardwuar I hope you realize how significant you are to the culture and you're doing well and living comfortably. You're important

It's soo weird hearing nardwuar shouting out all these places in north london with his accent lmaooo
Nardwuar: Bir-ming-Ham
Skeppy: Birminnum (as it should be)
In this episode, the UK GOAT realises the Canadian GOAT is in the room
Apparently Canadian goats are ginger
No.

i was researching him and found that out 🕊️
you know Nardwuar made it when he interviewed Skepta
you know Skepta made it when hes been interviewed by Nardwuar
This is big for UK Grime culture. I like this🎉
@@bodeharmanda1st572
Straight facts brother
What? Skepta made it being interviewed by the man himself but you really think Nardwuar thought omg finally I'm interviewing Skepta when he's interviewed loaaaads of bigger names 😂😂😂😂😂
Skepta is great, but Narduar has been the man for a LONG time. He’s been made it.
What are you on? Skepta ain’t nothing
It is insane how much knoledge / research Nardwuar has / does. Really loved SKEPTA was so appreceative !
This was such a good interaction bruh I love that Skepta was really living through the Nardwuar experience after being aware of it.

Skepta did this right after his set? Wow the love for Nardwaur is real. Loved this interview
16:34 Skepta malfunctions
😭😂 bro was lagging
Bro was flabbergasted⁉️‼️😳
Good meme potential
Boy betta know
this ones going in the Nardy compilations
I been waiting for this interview since 2016 Skep thank you for being always a better version of yourself and being the same person at the same time that shit is crazy. Thank god nardwar got this finally done.
M.C Duke died on 21st Apr 2024, and this video was uploaded on 22nd Apr 2024, meaning most likely Sketpa was gifted the M.C Duke record on the day of his death...R.I.P M.C Duke
I think these videos take a bit longer than just a day to produce but it’s still a crazy coincidence
At least one to two weeks beforehand
Wasn’t Expecting this one, Funny hearing Nard say Edmonton Green Shopping Centre, Thats home for me aswell, bought my cds there and rode bmx there
Mad. I remember the arcade on the first floor. That’s going back about 22 years ago!
@dd185 you mean playworld ha I remember that
@@crazyfalang8420 I remember that have street fighter II up there . That was an interesting time!

Never thought I’d hear President T mentioned on Nardwuar. One of the coldest in Grime, check out his tunes with Skepta if you want to get into Grime music.
Idk if Pres T is the best intro to grime love him but that’s a bit mad
Didn't know he was from birm
@@TmcksnTsays it on practice hours
T From the Wing!!!
Do it the laaaarge way! Massive tune
Having grown up in london listening to skep, hes the british goat. I dont think he even realises his cultural impact and im grown now. Keep being you skep microphone champion 🏆
Wiley's the British GOAT, not even a debate unless you wanna say Dizzee
@@Oioisavaloy can make a case for d double but yh i agree
@@randompianist8359 true say. All the the originals have got a shout, just with Wiley he had the sound, the Eskimo Dance etc along with the bars!
Felt like bro was finna leave like 5 times😭
Nah Skepta is calm g
He’s just waved😂
BIG SMOKE 🔥
SK Level😮💨
Greaze!
clip in the stick, stick in the coat
….. and a large soda!
Small mist
I didn't want this to end - what an episode with BIG SMOKE
Nuadwar tryna make Skepta do accents😂😂😂
Even skep knew he was too far gone for that 😭😭😭
Nardwuar you need to come over here to the UK n interview some more UK guys, your knowledge n passion is second to none.
9:22 RIP M.C. Duke. He actually died at the weekend
Sad to hear, didn't know much about his hip-hop history but I appreciate his contributions to jungle/hardcore thru his Hard Disk label.
What?!
Rip
@@maxway7465 yeah that's how I knew about him primarily, early jungle/hardcore is my favourite music, although I am partial to a bit of hip-hop as well

I’m so happy when festivals let nardwaur have his own booth to interview performers 💯💯💯
Hearing narduar talking about Edmonton green and Southgate was a crazy experience. Big up nrth ldn
This interview makes me a proud Brit. Nard curating Skepta to honour Grime history 🙌
need a Nardwuar vs JME next
Man I miss skepta albums, would be nice to see another grime mc typa thing going on from him, good to see he’s just as down to earth as him n Jme ever been
never let the visual shit too crazy. focus on the sound. preach
nardwuar knowing what southgate, edmonton green shopping centre and winchmore hill are feels like a glitch in the matrix loooool
Nardwuar fans EATING rn. Skepta fans like me fucking hyped off his vexed reactions 😂🔥🔥🔥 wow this ranks among the best interviews Nard has ever done
damn he been giving more gifts, so sick, best interviewer ever
much love from Brasil Nardy
Nardwuar i just want to tell you that you are one of my insperations and you have such a fun personality that brings so much joy
Edmontonians from Canada about to find out they ain’t the OG E-Town
I went and peeped his music pretty good, great interview.
He’s the og
Realest g
Skepta is the goat of grime
Probably one of the best interviews in a while
Literally ages!!
Skepta was too waved…. Would have been better if he was more on point
Edmonton UK stand up ❤ big up the pirate radios first heard of Skepta from DTI tune
THE TWO GREATEST TO DO IT
UK GOAT X CANADIAN GOD Woooo
Nah man when he mentioned dj zinc you know he has digged deep on his research! The man is an absolute legend!
'Ed been about. Ed was doing the roads' 😂 its true before he blew up he used to show up on random freestyle videos
He was really close to jamal sbtv. He would be around while they were filming BTS
Crazy 🔥🔥🔥 And RIP Duke 🕊️
wow nardwuar, you literally outdid yourself with this interview. crazy man ure a fucking legend
R.I.P MC Duke. Still play ‘I’m Riffin’ to this day. Thanks to Nardwuar and Skepta for mentioning him. There’s a whole group of UK Hip Hop pioneers who don’t get the accolades and respect they deserve. Hope this changes soon.
Rest in power MC Duke! Passed a couple days before this went live.
Im shocked at his deep street level knowledge of UK grime, he must have informants
I'm convinced he starts with their mothers and goes from there
Big fan of Wee Papa Girl Rappers and Derek B here so thanks Nardwuar for acknowledging them.
Ed sheeran in the ends is a sick thought😭
He actually been about, that’s partly why Wiley sent for stormzy back in days
for anyona watching this, schola used to send beats to Ed when Ed was 15 or so in 06. Eventually schola sent a beat with Eds vocals to Slix who was in Ruff skwuad, that’s when the whole Ed ting in grime started
That Ed Devlin vid is goated too
My eyes are red, I been blazin or You Need Me gives you an idea of him back then
Ed got respect in the ends
Wee Papa Girl Rappers were originally Fergal Sharkey’s backing singers. From London. Sisters too. Remixed by the legend Kevin Sanderson. Top interview. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
man wants to chat to nardwaur and hes like sorry im statue man, gotta love nardwaur 😂

Nardwuar has to be retired FBI or something similar to that with his perfect research skills 🤘
Immediately looking up that Wee Papa Girl rappers - Kevin Saunderson Detroit house mix... I already know he mixed it up correct. Big ups Smoke and Nardy ❤️
this was the best nardwuar interview i've seen. skepta is a capital G
Nard did the freeze and skep just walked away 💀💀
RIP MC Duke! Crazy timing to drop this
As a Brit I actually love him. He’s got such a good outlook on life and for me he’s the only real rapper in the UK. He’s the goat, JME the deputy and J Hus the secretary
Hands down the best interviewer...he doesn't miss a beat and he does the proper research. 👍👍
Notice how in the last few seconds Skepta said we gone play him the carti track
The Journey that you are able to take the Artist trough is Off the charts ! i like to see a genuine moment of nostalgia rediscovered. like lacing mind pears one by one. Leaving us with a clearer understanding what has made us who we are.
“I knew you were gonna say that to. That’s hard.. that’s hard ..”😂😂
Rest in Power Derek B and Mc Duke 🕊🙏🏾🫡
That's so crazy
How did u get Brother Skepta in Nardwuar
That's insane
Dis is dope
Nardwuar would definitely blessed in ends in UK. Got the pass
Another freak out episode! Well done; Nard!
Thanks for this Nardwuar! Nice to see you still going after all these years
bro just dropped the best episode
I was researching Derek B the other day for a piece on early uk rap. Always on point 'Wuar the ultimate G.
Amazing to see Skepta trying to keep up his persona and slowly find it harder and harder to keep it together. So good to see artists respond emotionally. Nard the GOAT

There used to be a record shop in Edmonton Green Shopping centre I used to go there a lot to get Meridian crew vinyls, used to see skepta in there a few times
4:11 the bro literally paused 😂 no diddy
I love the moment when skepta raises his shoulders - you could see he got goosebumps
North London, stand up
I go hard like Jason Bourne, these other MC's remind me of Mr.bean or Johnny English reborn
"where you goin wit dis.... crazy"
"you hit man wit dat..."

Fun fact.. Lil B FIRST show in London. Skepta & JME were there fully in the crowd at Old Blue Last. Good times
seen skepta in shoreditch loads of times
