Everyone who knows, knows, right..I dont mind that the mass of Bellends don't get his message would be nice for the sales tho, seems to have been quiet now for a while
This guy has got me through some really messy times with his music and yet he still is!.. Thank you Roots Manuva and all his fans, friends and family!!! 🙏 ❤️ (edited who knows how long for tho 🤦).
"I don't know what the fuck it means. I am just singing, ain't I?" - Intellectual honesty in its purest form, only a genuine artist can afford such a statement.
One time I met him in a Concert in Berlin.I was so exited that I said :You are great, you are the best british rapper I know.Than he gave me a sign and I´m just gone. What I want to say:He is a great rappper and entertainer, and its difficault to say anything if you meet a true rapper like him... greetings from germany
In an age of intense American cultural imperialism, where so many London artist, that should know better are looking like a poor man’s JayZ and Kanye. There stands such a pure example of a London thing. For years this guy has made tunes that reek of where they are from. And he is up there with the greats. Now joined by Little Sims in flying a culturally diverse flag while keeping it real. Meanwhile some people are wrapping about Rolexes and Probation. Rodrick Manuva! Thank you for taking me back to driving through London streets anytime I choose.
That I wanted to listen to this song popped into my head about 40 seconds ago. My whole body felt a rush of warmth and good vibes rising as I typed the title into the search bar. A little smile started to play at the corner of my lips of its own accord. There's something about this track, that evokes a wonderful sense of ease, engagement and way of being.
Roots Manuva is a god he deserves allot more publicity then those crap gangsta rappers these days come on where are the days when people listen to real music roots rocks big time hope he comes whit more albums
i wrote one hope one quest on my skin. Married my wife with dreamy days on the background. now and then i play this tune when i need it. Roots is a serious part in my life. Thank you my man.
Mister Rodney Smith Roots Manuva and he's music touched the way I think see and many times unveiled that there is more to realise and understand.More than music for me special relationship with all he's stuff.Thank you!

I come to Canada, you meet me I’ll show you brotherhood. I’m no rich man, but what I can give I’ll give from the heart, Your one of the goats in all time imho, and i found you from the other side of the pond. Wish you and yours the best of health, and above all, happiness like John Lennon once said.
So you think that when you're dead, that's just it? That all of existence is just this bizarre freak occurrence? Just blind matter? If so, then why waste time on this crazy society thing? You're going to be nothing soon, and you're wasting your precious time on this nonsense, slaving away, paying tax, helping your civilization to fund war and exploitation? The clock is ticking. Soon you'll not exist.
@@simonk4891ing none of us truly know that's the truth. I believe we go somewhere else. But what about the life they can prove was on earth 4 billion years ago... Wheres that gone, where did it come from. Biological particles floating in space? We don't know but all religions are fiction... Only Buddhism has the right idea, there is no god. That's my opinion. But you can still be a deep spiritual person without prescribing to one religion
@@sasamagrasa Exactly. And yet you waste your time paying taxes, chasing things, watching your screens etc. Your materialism is phony. You don't really believe it. It's just a fashionable opinion to have. You can't even explain what existence is, where it came from, what consciousness is etc. You just pretend to be this nitty gritty realist, when in reality, your own ignorance scares you.
Rrroooootttsss!!!!! Man I’ve been listening to you on and off for years!! And I’ve just found the Lorde!! My saviour Jesus Christ and iam hearing you in a whole new light!!! Much love bro!!!
2019 I'm back again... The Spirit is moving me... The Levels know me? Got to be Thoth... The Levels definitely know him... Let the Spirit move you... 1 Tree Many Branches... 1 Love.
"Whats the song about? Whats the song about? Whats it mean? I dont know what the fuck it means, im just singing aint I?" Should be every artists response, the music can speak for itself.
Don't have to believe a specific religion in life, I'm the same its all nonsense it cracks me up how ridic it is but that don't mean there aren't other things going on. We've barely scratched the surface
Same, true natural spirituality and love doesn't come from some artificial place, where you are bound by rules made by men who seek control and conformity in the name of.. But from the kindness, positivity, love of good humans just appreciating nature and each other, doing right by others, acknowledging the wonder of every single thing that surrounds you, micro-universes existing within universes, within universes.
same goes for me - I mean, I had heard of Roots Manuva before, but never actually heard him :) that is, until about a month ago - since then I must have listened to this song at least a hundred times! In other words, Again & Again :)
Uh.... they do; The roots, atmosphere, living legends, soul position, gift of gab, heiroglyphics, murs, talib kweli, jurassic 5, just to name a few... America has a diverse hip hop selection and just because it's not in the mainstream doesn't mean its not there. Look around and see for yourself, there are more hidden gems out there then you'd think.
+SeriouStuff You can hear a lot of the sounds and synths used in metronomys albums. They produced this song, and a lot of their style comes into the beat .
Let no man? "The divine" is open to interpretation, true natural spirituality and love doesn't come from some artificial place, where you are bound by rules made by men who seek control and conformity in the name of..
You know what's ironic is people who know hip knew these guys are the best at the end of it all... I know a lot of hip hop and rap and in my world this is a legend with he's own style. I will keep you in my top 20 at least

I'll second that.
Well said bro!
Been recommended this rapper by a chill, nice black dude in a dream of mine last night. No regrets. Thank ya fam, whoever you were. ❤️
Instantly one of my favourite tracks of all time.
Getting Metronomy to produce was a stroke of genius. Roots + Metronomy = Gold.

When your eyes are truly open to the world the more sense this tune makes.. Trust

Ron has never moved from his roots, king of UK hip hop!!!!!!!!

Ive just discovered Roots. He's pretty f*n awesome - love this track the most.
Don't breathe out ;)
I don't believe in any anthropomorphic or interventionist deities.
But this tune really makes the spirit move me.
nuff love rod.
Same but this is just good humans sharing their energies with you, roots manuva's feeding you his enegry! let that energy move you!

I can hear the Metronomy production
+BlackHoon what do you mean?
+SeriouStuff You can hear a lot of the sounds and synths used in metronomys albums. They produced this song, and a lot of their style comes into the beat
.
that's because it's produced by Metronomy
I love it from the first hearing
Super Groovy très très bon !!!
Big up Manuva...dis a tune!
Awesome. What can I say to be different from the rest of comments....well they are true musicians. Quality.
It's not arrogant man , love this tune its gone in me mix :)
It moved me.
Let us never forget the first rule: Let no man come between you and the Divine.
Let no man? "The divine" is open to interpretation, true natural spirituality and love doesn't come from some artificial place, where you are bound by rules made by men who seek control and conformity in the name of..
@@sophiepooks2174 The Divine isn't open to interpretation, merely understanding.
Roots Manuva 4 life! Big Up!
Omg! Rootsmanuva! 4 years I had that name in my brian and finally i decided to check you out, wicked!
