To be honest my opinion is why central Cee gets so much hate is because the catalog of UK drill rappers before him that never got this type of fame & to be fair some of them are arguably more talented . Imagine listening to prime uk drill with the 67s ,the Harlem Spartans , the zone 2s , the OFBs , the unknown T digga D , PS , suspect , and many more , all these talented artist that had the potential to blow & be something great & the one guy that gets the global recognition is central Cee 😂 like this light skin school kid is what the world accepted ? That’s why everyone seems to not like it in my opinion
It's also because he marketed himself as someone that is part black which he isn't, lots of black people in the US thought he was mixed with black but nope, he's white and chinese Guyanese. He even wouldn't answer interviewers about it until he cleared globally which is very deceptive
He didn’t market himself as black lol. He obviously has black influence but so does a lot of people in London. To the shoes and clothes they wear to the environments they grew up in. He also is a rapper which used to be marketed around black people. If people thought he was mixed and chose to run with it, not really his problem
@hearditb4 hello, I re read what I typed, and I don't rescind anything except him marketing himself as mixed, which he is just not with black. What I will say is that he knows that people thought he was part black but he didn't say anything about it as it was benefiting him in the black community, avoiding revealing his race/ethnicity in interviews but as he's got a global wave , he's happily released what he is, even helped out at a Chinese Guyanese restaurant. I don't want back and forth with this tbf, no need, not a hater at all but I definitely not the only one nor thousand that has said this, have a lovely week
@@shebonyshand tbf I agree with you, he could’ve stated what he was a lot sooner. However all it could’ve took for people was a quick google search and they would’ve found out. At the end of the day, who cares what his ethnicity is. I’ve certainly known white guys that have grown up in black environments, therefore know what it’s like to be black. I also know black people that their parents moved to white neighbourhoods therefore don’t really understand what it’s like to grow up in black environments. So if someone has a black or white background, it will be shown through the way they move and how they conduct themselves. Growing up in Shepherds Bush, it’s kinda hard not to have a certain influence in the way you dress and market yourself. I do still agree with you tho. Have a nice week, god bless
@@trevormcdonald385not even white and cench is actually hard and lyrical he makes the TikTok music every now and then to stay on top but his og sound can’t be said that he wasn’t spitting
@@Davidtwizz two thing can be true at once just look at Eminem I don’t think anyone denies his lyrical ability but whiteness carried him the extra mile The fact is superficial differences can make an artist like central cee palatable to the masses.
Tbh the CC hate isn’t invalid but it’s also not his fault. But there are loads of rappers who are arguably better than him who never blew. He has blown this much not be cause he is the best but because he is good and has an ‘aesthetic’ which sadly just means he’s not black. Same with Drake. Just how the game goes, once you’re non-black and better than average you are clear.
Is it just me or is it hella interesting to watch a real cench fan from the UK on video rap his songs bar for bar and praise him this much. I never thought I’d see that in my life idk why looool
@@lel6624Genz love is actually good, although you might think it’s his personality over the track, he speaks on how social media is the the Center of relationship these days.
@@elzyofficial9087 never said it wasn't good, I haven't listen to it a lot but i like it. It did pretty well on tiktok 'cause it was relatable, that's it. I agree with you mate, with "a couple" i was referring to those 2 feats that blow up, they aren't bad tho
The UK should be looking at Cench as the blueprint instead of someone to hate on. If the album does well worldwide (it 99% will) he can turn a lot of heads towards the UK scene and give more exposure to the rappers who the UK thinks "deserve" more international fame. But people just wanna be bitter at someone for discovering modern marketing tactics
The UK in general is just bad vibes tbh when it comes to this, instead of being supportive they’d rather be bitter and find a way to hate and downplay a person’s success once they go big
How is he going to do that if the only rapper he works with is Dave. Central Cee is not going to give many exposure to the uk scene because he’s the only one the US market cares about.
@Jay-jw4yi I’m not just talking about collaborations I’m more referring to exposure. People who like Cench may be more inclined to check out other uk rappers. Yes all the US cares about is Cench but he can break down the barrier
Central cee looks like the people who rate his music. Get it It’s their industry and they decide who gets where. Nothing to do with authenticity or talent.
Central Cee reminds me of Charlie Sloth, not the most talented but smart and knows how to make money. He can't do the I'm bad route, but targetting Europe and other places like that is very smart
Whether you like it or not, Central Cee is every label's desired artist😂. Who will actually invest into any of the "real" UK drill artists? Y'all hate him because he doesn't promote or live the life many of your faves are currently living. In jail and committing crimes. He stayed away from the streets after becoming big, and he focused on his craft. Also, he should really inform award shows and other media people that he's a hip hop artist and not a drill rapper. That's why people hate him.
@COACollection labels didn't do anything for x. He wasn’t signed until 2018, a few weeks before his passing to be exact (Billboard, 2018). Part of the reason he was gaining a massive fan base was that he began on a small music platform like sound cloud. Which was basically the 'My Space' of the 2010s. He did a lot of club events as well with Ski Mask and other 'Members Only' rappers. Rolling Loud also helped him connect with fans. He had features from stars like Trippie Red. J.cole and Kendrick shouted him out. And quite obviously, his beefs with Drake and the Migos gave him a *HUGE* push. It also wasn't until after his death that he became a global sensation. He still received major hate for his criminal record. Don't forget, x never performed outside of the US because of that record and the house arrest ankle device. So that stagnated him by a lot.
Industry plant getting pushed by kids for his aesthetic. Capper and don't put his day 1s on. Appart from that he's bless. But he's no bad boi so why does he portray this 😂 This is why uk get annoyed cause it's like clowning the community 😂😂😂 Like I said no hate chench has produced great things. 🎉
The main reason Central Cee was able to blow was because of his clarity, other countries can listen and understand compared to all the other UK rappers.
He must’ve studied marketing like mad. You could tell his old style just wasn’t working. There must’ve been a click in him that made him realise there was something missing in the uk rap scene. After studying it for 8 years or so, he actually implemented it
No offence but there’s a reason why all the day 1s and real “street” guys left him cause he’s for himself and spitting absolute cap or either spitting on shit his “block” has done not him 😂
I think reductive way to look at central cee's marketing is if a fan cant come as 'you' to a halloween party and everyone knows who they are, you haven't got a recognisable brand. When you think about it alot of artists that are established in america now that came up in the ' eveyone is lil something era' everyone had a gimmick to get on. Lil yachty braids,69 hair, lil pump, travis braids inspired by rocky braids, xxxtentacion hair, kodak black china bumps, etc i think people forget that happened. It can be more subtle but it still makes a difference I think his management has been prett intentional with his look. Even that cap he always wears, and he has nice hair aswell maybe the styles dont last long but from he always wear it it became something he's known for and now hes sells them This is all aside from the controversial lyrics etc
He is a marketing genius not a musical genius and people say he’s a musical genius I think it’s upsetting that that’s all you need these days to be successful can’t hate on the guy but pretty much any rapper in uk makes better tunes imo
in Canada uk rap is huge and the fashion is too, but most of the culture we have was being put behind to try and appeal to a us audience musically. Then after they saw the UK used their slang and accent, Canada started doin it too. Toronto sadly has the same outlook many people in the UK have about canadian rappers, the only rapper that barely gets hate out here (out of being overplayed on radio) is Drake and Northsidebenji. People hate on Duvy, Pressa, and even guys like Agent 00 are getting hate for what he "does for the city" by sadboi (another toronto rapper who was sayin all this on Tylil's stream). It's actually holding Toronto back while my city Ottawa is standing behind Twotiime so much that even his opps are showing love.
damn as a born and raised NYer, Central Cee music is clean af. i see a lot of UK dudes saying he's a capper and a roadman and doesn't do any of the stuff he says in his songs but who tf cares. i think UK dudes just using that as an excuse to hate on him because they're jealous he's successful and actually makes good music and maybe the fact that he's lightskin and better looking than them (pause). yall UK dudes just haters and copers lmfao who tf cares if he's lying. just judging the music as is, it's fire. jelousy is crazy...and in no universe is Digga or Kairo even better than Central Cee, their music is just boring, basic, bland, cookie cutter slop. Dave is clean af too tho, Dave and Cench definitely top 2 in UK and everyone else is just multiple levels below them.
@@No1_jew_jitsu digga on the burner spotted. digga is absolute dumpster juice. name me what u think Diggas best song is, and I could give u Central Cee's worst song and it'll still be way better
people just respect real rappers i feel like if Dutchavellie didn't catch that p3do case he would of been another one who could of blown worldwide and his music was actually good
All of this highlights that if you’re from the ends and wanna win, you gotta leave your ends behind, people in the ends have this mindset that will just drag you down.
People probably feel like there is way better rappers or artists than him that never got the push internationally that he got and they think he doesn’t deserve to be where he is at which to an extent is true as he isn’t the most talented or best to come out the uk but it takes lots of work to get to where he is in the scene
Yo tankz rate the vids bro one thing about the cultural emulation you were talking about. Here in australia we've had our own 'street' style which was replaced with the uk style but only during uk drill's peak (2018-21) and since then people have reverted back to the old ways. Similar to the rest of europe. The uk's influence is largely disappeared in other countries and more of a trend that just passes by.
I feel the peak of uk genres whether that be grime Afroswing ,drill etc always reach the rest of the world at the back end of its prime or towards its decline sound wise or quality wise and it never gets a good representation to worldwide
Making out like you and Central Cee blew up the same is such a cope on your part lmao. Figure out what you wanna be before you start proclaiming how great you are at everything lmao. You’re like the journeyman of UA-cam at this point. Tried the music ting, didn’t blow. Tried the vlog ting, didn’t blow. Now you’re trying the most pointless job of all… explaining things that people already know because you’re clout chasing, smh. Just get a job chief, it can’t be that hard, you lot are getting preferential treatment in a diverse London.
I think in my honest opinion central cee is too much of a flip flop when it comes too music and money he will bend and change his sound just for a drop of clout or for a big enough bag ! and of course there is definitely that element of he forgot where and who he started with, totally left the UK and drill scene behind, which in a way is good cause it’s natural progression but, you can’t just erase your come up I’m afraid 😂
I think its a case of people believing he is an industry plant. Cench has a handful of decent tunes, but for the most part all his songs sound very similar, to me there isnt much difference between his earlier tunes (like 2020-24) to the more recent ones.
People wanna talk about him being more marketable because he’s got white skin like the most popping urban artists aren’t black.. he’s bowing because no one in the UK is innovative and creative enough. Got guys like Dave dropping every 5 years and he’s you guys goat 😂 Don’t see digga or Dave having the discipline to firstly stay out of jail and secondly to release more than 2 songs a year smh.
Tankz explained it pretty well like the reason the scene is where it is at is because there is no competition so artists at the top are willing and comfortable where they are cause back in the day like during prime drill prime afroswing prime grime etc there was so much artists out so much competition that if you slipped up or stopped releasing somebody is there to take your spot but nowadays the uk don’t really have that no more so artists are willing to stick to what works for them and stay in there lane instead of trying to elevate their sounds
That’s why someone like central cee is able to be the forefront of the scene even though he’s no where near the best rapper due to his marketing and willingness to expand and elevate his brand maybe not so much the music but him branching out overseas and making a name for himself in Europe and America has massively helped his career to the point where the uk doesn’t even make up 20% of his audience
“Don’t see Dave having the discipline to stay out of jail” who the fuck told you Dave is in jail? I sense a micro aggression in there. Cench blowing up isn’t to do with his race, more time it holds him back, not in business meetings or labels wanting him though, that makes it easier unless he wanna do a Diddy and jay z 😭 but in terms of people taking in their music etc etc, him being lighter makes that harder and is probs one of the reasons he got so much hate in the UK.
There are a lot of haters out there against successful people. Cench has not forgot where he came from, and does look out and pay back into the community. I find social media does not help. And yes we are the leaders of street fashion and rap/drill . .
However you’re right about the UK. Everyone wants to see you doing well, but never better than them. It’s a depressing country. It always has been the case, where people get bitter and try bring you back down to their level because they feel like they can’t do as well as you.
Does anyone here think authenticity is important to music and representing the UK scene? Seems like the biggest critique of Cench but Tankz didnt mention it once, probably because he sees himself in Cench.
Probably because Tankz is in it (the UA-cam, the music) for the money as much as he was in the F for the money. No appreciation of the fact that it degrades the culture. What culture? The artistic culture. Something other than the commercial culture.
His image is perfect for gen pop and mass appeal as well as being good for a frontline for the labels being that he’s not outside like that, ppl don’t understand that marketing a drill rapper worldwide is extremely hard because people don’t ness want to see that like u or I would
Central cee is utter shite and for some reason he’s the “biggest” uk aritist only big outside the uk where outlets spakas listen to him no one real listens cuz he’s terrible and has no substance whatsoever take someone like Rimzee for example who’s one of the realest rappers about and what he raps about then compare that to central cee 😂
To be frank central cee aint help put no UK on the map. The UK has always been on the map when it comes to the US, they been knowing aint nothing new. An I know of his some of his family..but need to keep it real. Thats why too much credit. The honest reason why he getting more attention main steam and got to more faster is due to his skin complexion. Its what industry prefers...point blank.
I think that the guys who were with him in the past were only around him because he was the one with the superstar potential and when he gave them a chance to be around him it didn’t really work for them now they mad at him

@@relli11 I think in terms of numbers and being actually homegrown I don't think anyone is or has been more known or listened to globally than him on this scale. Only comparison would be Skepta, Dave and to some extent Giggs but neither are a household name internationally (at least to young people) No other UK rapper has been this big on their actual come up not like resurgence. This is his first foray into being a professional recording artist and he's already massive. Him and his management played the game well and his delivery and voice is easily digestible aswell.
@ Dave pisses all over central by far not even close either don’t get me wrong cench is smashing numbers can’t fault him there I couldn’t even tell u one track I rate but he is killing it atm but I think he jus gonna be another Russ he was doing the same smashing numbers n now look at him
The thing is you can’t bring everyone with you like you said. You see him rolling with his closest people all the time, there’s a reason certain man were not brought along. Ultimately he should be an inspiration and a case study for any other UK artists. Also the narrative he’s a bad rapper is just hating there’s plenty of songs where he’s spitting. Also the deal was £20ms for 2 albums + probably some obligatory features such as the Kid Laroi one.

Digga is miles better and central isn’t top 2 you melt
Lol this is a very very US opinion but fair
@@No1_jew_jitsu digga on the burner spotted. digga is absolute dumpster juice. name me what u think Diggas best song is, and I could give u Central Cee's worst song and it'll still be way better
Whereas in the uk people will try to drag you down like the bucket of crabs and they don’t have this nature of seeing someone improve
people just respect real rappers i feel like if Dutchavellie didn't catch that p3do case he would of been another one who could of blown worldwide and his music was actually good
He didn’t even catch a pedo case that’s the sad part about it, just the internet and fake fans that did it
Dutchavelli was in line to blow instead of Central Cee. He was hard asf. I remember Abra was just behind him too
@@YingDat facts I heard behind the scenes there was a lot of people trying F him over
Respecting the daily uploads g 💯 Cench just gets hate because other people aint got jobs.
“Where ever you from you get hated the most”-Boosie
All of this highlights that if you’re from the ends and wanna win, you gotta leave your ends behind, people in the ends have this mindset that will just drag you down.
The Velo addicted to Tankz at this point, 10/10 video as per usual
His my inspiration man all the way from Canada 🇨🇦
I just don’t get why we have to stick with one genre every fucking year damn people on the comments got no vision
A lot of the hate for him is forced jealousy ibr
People probably feel like there is way better rappers or artists than him that never got the push internationally that he got and they think he doesn’t deserve to be where he is at which to an extent is true as he isn’t the most talented or best to come out the uk but it takes lots of work to get to where he is in the scene
@Zinomulla- and thats what jealousy is 😂
@Zinomulla-but he’s clearly at the top for a reason tho😂 how can anyone argue with numbers. It’s literally evidence.
No it really isn’t 😂
Yo tankz rate the vids bro one thing about the cultural emulation you were talking about. Here in australia we've had our own 'street' style which was replaced with the uk style but only during uk drill's peak (2018-21) and since then people have reverted back to the old ways. Similar to the rest of europe. The uk's influence is largely disappeared in other countries and more of a trend that just passes by.
Yh agreed rest of the world jumped on during covid times, loving the tech fleece and being cringy asf talking road but thankfully the trends dying out
I feel the peak of uk genres whether that be grime Afroswing ,drill etc always reach the rest of the world at the back end of its prime or towards its decline sound wise or quality wise and it never gets a good representation to worldwide
Keep the videos coming bro
Dam one by one best cench song I’ve heard in timee, cash cobain production is too wavy
I don’t “hate” cench I just don’t like his music and think he’s overrated, not that he’s bad just overrated.
I liked his song called obsessed tho tbf
Making out like you and Central Cee blew up the same is such a cope on your part lmao. Figure out what you wanna be before you start proclaiming how great you are at everything lmao. You’re like the journeyman of UA-cam at this point. Tried the music ting, didn’t blow. Tried the vlog ting, didn’t blow. Now you’re trying the most pointless job of all… explaining things that people already know because you’re clout chasing, smh. Just get a job chief, it can’t be that hard, you lot are getting preferential treatment in a diverse London.
"I can't understand what he's saying but the song slaps!" Me listening to Amapiano
I think in my honest opinion central cee is too much of a flip flop when it comes too music and money he will bend and change his sound just for a drop of clout or for a big enough bag !
and of course there is definitely that element of he forgot where and who he started with, totally left the UK and drill scene behind, which in a way is good cause it’s natural progression but, you can’t just erase your come up I’m afraid 😂
I think its a case of people believing he is an industry plant. Cench has a handful of decent tunes, but for the most part all his songs sound very similar, to me there isnt much difference between his earlier tunes (like 2020-24) to the more recent ones.
Great video
I can’t believe you compared Cench’s hate to the colonisation of Africa lmao. Softest black generation ever.
He didn’t compare, he gave an example
He is about to collaborate with Cole Bennett again for the album
How do you know that
@abdutrap his insta story few days ago
People wanna talk about him being more marketable because he’s got white skin like the most popping urban artists aren’t black.. he’s bowing because no one in the UK is innovative and creative enough. Got guys like Dave dropping every 5 years and he’s you guys goat 😂 Don’t see digga or Dave having the discipline to firstly stay out of jail and secondly to release more than 2 songs a year smh.
His manager is also black
Tankz explained it pretty well like the reason the scene is where it is at is because there is no competition so artists at the top are willing and comfortable where they are cause back in the day like during prime drill prime afroswing prime grime etc there was so much artists out so much competition that if you slipped up or stopped releasing somebody is there to take your spot but nowadays the uk don’t really have that no more so artists are willing to stick to what works for them and stay in there lane instead of trying to elevate their sounds
That’s why someone like central cee is able to be the forefront of the scene even though he’s no where near the best rapper due to his marketing and willingness to expand and elevate his brand maybe not so much the music but him branching out overseas and making a name for himself in Europe and America has massively helped his career to the point where the uk doesn’t even make up 20% of his audience
“Don’t see Dave having the discipline to stay out of jail” who the fuck told you Dave is in jail? I sense a micro aggression in there. Cench blowing up isn’t to do with his race, more time it holds him back, not in business meetings or labels wanting him though, that makes it easier unless he wanna do a Diddy and jay z 😭 but in terms of people taking in their music etc etc, him being lighter makes that harder and is probs one of the reasons he got so much hate in the UK.
Hes the Uk’s Drake
There are a lot of haters out there against successful people. Cench has not forgot where he came from, and does look out and pay back into the community. I find social media does not help. And yes we are the leaders of street fashion and rap/drill
.
.
I think with streetwear it was only with the Nike tech, Gooses and monclizzys with the manbags. Can’t really call that leading with streetwear fashion
However you’re right about the UK. Everyone wants to see you doing well, but never better than them. It’s a depressing country. It always has been the case, where people get bitter and try bring you back down to their level because they feel like they can’t do as well as you.
doesn’t really help that he doesn’t collab with uk rappers often, i rate him highly though the uk rap scene wouldn’t be even 1/4 of as big as it is
Does anyone here think authenticity is important to music and representing the UK scene?
Seems like the biggest critique of Cench but Tankz didnt mention it once, probably because he sees himself in Cench.
Probably because Tankz is in it (the UA-cam, the music) for the money as much as he was in the F for the money. No appreciation of the fact that it degrades the culture. What culture? The artistic culture. Something other than the commercial culture.
@@menotme89 hit the nail on the head exactly what I was thinking
They been doing this to bckingz since the beginning
His image is perfect for gen pop and mass appeal as well as being good for a frontline for the labels being that he’s not outside like that, ppl don’t understand that marketing a drill rapper worldwide is extremely hard because people don’t ness want to see that like u or I would
Central cee is utter shite and for some reason he’s the “biggest” uk aritist only big outside the uk where outlets spakas listen to him no one real listens cuz he’s terrible and has no substance whatsoever take someone like Rimzee for example who’s one of the realest rappers about and what he raps about then compare that to central cee 😂
Why not redirect that hate to something productive my guy
Bro barely any useful info
Central is like ardee pushed on us by the mainstream mainly through tik tok real g's don't use gay apps like tik tok 😂
😂😂
1000%
who pushed him?🤡
and where's arrdee?
i beg u in the beginning when you do your preview, edit a preview graphic in the corner of the video. love the vids bro 👌
y u begging
I just don't find him that good of a rapper no more. But 6 for 6 and Khabib are hits!
They hypmotized with hatred. -Boosie
😂
Can someone explain what debut album is cus at this point labels jsut call any album debut album
Debut album is their first album? It’s their debut?
@ but cench has 2 albums out already, they literally tagged as albums on streaming services
@@Davidtwizz 23 and wild west are mixtapes
@ can you explain the difference tho , genuine question I wanna know cus no one seems to have a straight forward explanation
@@user-pz5cn3oc3g ofc you disappeared after I asked for explanation
Bruhh how many velo tins you need damn little fiend collection 🤣 keep up with the vids bro 👊
😂
To be frank central cee aint help put no UK on the map. The UK has always been on the map when it comes to the US, they been knowing aint nothing new. An I know of his some of his family..but need to keep it real. Thats why too much credit. The honest reason why he getting more attention main steam and got to more faster is due to his skin complexion. Its what industry prefers...point blank.
I know a lot of people don’t like it, but Day in the life is still my favourite song of his!
tall poppy syndrome is CRAZY in the uk
I think that the guys who were with him in the past were only around him because he was the one with the superstar potential and when he gave them a chance to be around him it didn’t really work for them now they mad at him
New Subscriber 🇩🇪
Hate cench. He’s untalented and getting so much love.
King Von Better than all of these rappers 😂
Anthracite was the hardest song ever
he is a blatent industry plant plain n simple
He was doing it for 10 years lol, how’s he an industry plant
@@hearditb4he's a clown of course 😂
Its me the old git from Tottenham again. Tell u a quick story. Here on the farm (broardwater farm estate) around a year or so ago them OFB youts were making one of their videos in one of the blocks here (Hornchurch) anyway i said to one a dem I'm coming to be in tge video. Kool they said unks just chill in the background. Anyway as i was about to do so the camera man pulled me to one side and said thats not a good idea mate. Why not i said. He said coz rivals or opps as they're now known will will think that your part of that firm/gang and might wanna do ya😂😂😂 i decided not to be in the video😂😂😂😂😂
What’s the difference between central cee and Paris Jackson? Paris has a black father.
His music is moist , this is drill ffs
its pretty dumb to make hard drill music when ur a multimillionaire and can live in beverly hills😂theres more to life than being stuck making drill music
Honestly I don't see him on a sell out tour...
Bro ngl I forgot I use to listen to bench before he blew his next up was cold
Pete and bas. I like them coz they're old like me😂😂😂😂
bro I didn't even realize I was watching Tankz till you said London Scammer no wonder I recongnized ur voice lmao
Morning all. Old person here (60) here in Tottenham
Anyway youts dem keep doing your ting your way inna your twang. Shakespeare would be well proud 😊😊 yanky bwoi dem remember where you got/get your language from😂😂😂😂 ps. Your women love how we speak 😂😂😂😂😂 its all love
Envy always comes from those closest to you.
im impressed and proud of cench, we need to push back on the hating culture in uk
U know this because the internet told u this no one has said anything
BRO YU NO STUPID!
YOU KNOW WHY WE DON’T LIKE THAT DUDE NEVER
Digga d better
Digga d can’t keep himself out of jail that’s his problem he is better than cench and he is also willing to break boundaries artistically and experiment but at the end of the day if your locked up it’s useless
His loved in other countries because they don’t know how fake he is
They know they just don't care
Like 98% of uk rappers so what
@@robertb7643no, nothing like “98%” of other uk rappers.
@@douBBle0306my brother London has 100 murders a year, most of those are domestic. So like 25 gang related murders a year and how many songs about murders are there every year? Do the maths drill fan
hows he fake? he shot a couple drugs and grew with the mandem, thats not far fetched lol
can you do a vid on the uk content creation scene
Santan dave set the scene for uk
No
No he didn’t 😂
I thought Digga D was the most hated!
Hes a industry plant nothing else
🤡🤡
When 6 for 6 dropped I thought he would eventually be a top 5 rapper but he’s turned out to be (at least in popularity) the biggest UK rapper ever so far, it’s impressive 👏🏾
He’s not the biggest rapper at all he’s not even close he ain’t Yh e first rapper to hit America 😂😂😂😂😂😂 he the biggest capper even his best friends lol said he a capper
@@relli11 I think in terms of numbers and being actually homegrown I don't think anyone is or has been more known or listened to globally than him on this scale.
Only comparison would be Skepta, Dave and to some extent Giggs but neither are a household name internationally (at least to young people)
No other UK rapper has been this big on their actual come up not like resurgence. This is his first foray into being a professional recording artist and he's already massive. Him and his management played the game well and his delivery and voice is easily digestible aswell.
@ Dave pisses all over central by far not even close either don’t get me wrong cench is smashing numbers can’t fault him there I couldn’t even tell u one track I rate but he is killing it atm but I think he jus gonna be another Russ he was doing the same smashing numbers n now look at him
That would be Skepta or chipmunk. Not bentral cee
Skepta 🤡
band4band alone is bigger than his career
Cench snaked kairo keyz
cench overratd
Shout out to Gzuz the way you pronounce it i’m dead 😂😂😂greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
People disliked m0lly? Its literally one of his top 5 songs😂
What? So somebody can’t dislike something because it’s popular? What are you on about 😂
Crazy terminal 5 is one of the only songs I listen to in that ting😂
The thing is you can’t bring everyone with you like you said. You see him rolling with his closest people all the time, there’s a reason certain man were not brought along. Ultimately he should be an inspiration and a case study for any other UK artists. Also the narrative he’s a bad rapper is just hating there’s plenty of songs where he’s spitting. Also the deal was £20ms for 2 albums + probably some obligatory features such as the Kid Laroi one.
His music is just not good
14:43 The pronunciation is more like Jesus, good vid ✌🏻
