    Did you know that JME is Skepta's brother? Or that Skepta used to love Shabba D?
    What was your favorite part of the interview? Let us know!

      Selasie Hessey WOW! Ya got ya first rewind, but the second line sounded like the first line,
      I aint got punch lines, I got kick lines, N I aint commercial but I got hit lines,
      I spit deep rhymes, but I got the girls on my side from the first reweind,
      Ya might see ma face in the magazine, or in a fur coat in face magazine,
      Coz their spreading the word from the raves that Ive been,
      And their bringing their purse out to pay for my team,
      I cudnt give a shit im breaking the scene, making the scene, and then start making the cream,

      I also take into consideration that he wants to symbolize where his craft originated from.Being so,I wouldn't expect him to break pillars,rather than building more in other regions. #manifest #connect

      I think he’s looking at it with a lil hate.America can’t help what it is musically.Its a very big place with a lot of people who are very talented.Dont be bitter towards that because we didn’t ask for that.Hell,It’s slaves families that took what they had and made it something.And he doesn’t have to feel that he’s asking anyone for anything or he doesn’t have to feel like he owes anyone anything.Because really in his need to act like he don’t care and don’t need them he really did to get hisself introduced to the states.Rather he likes it or not that’s the way it is but yes he’s right when he says then we do get to know you for you once we hear your music and see what you can do.I just don’t know why London artist seem to have this tude that they don’t want to need anybody.Everybody needs somebody and once you get exposed of course do you.But,Honestly that’s why they are bitter because they feel like they don’t get the recognition they deserve.They don’t get it because they don’t want to work with anyone.But,That’s one of the reasons American artist blow up around the world because they’re willing to work with others around the world and in America.

    • @timothyjn100
      @timothyjn100 4 роки тому +2

      n he got that attitude coz it’s the truth g.. some ppl need others to do there own thing and get there shit out there, some don’t. we don’t all need to rely on someone, individuals like skepta don’t need others. the only thing we need are instrumentals and a mic my g, other than that.. don’t need fuck all

    Honestly this is the most best interview of skepta i've ever seen in my entire life, The way he was talking about "We already knew that and that so it was easy etc" i feel the same way as he dose, lifes a bliss for me after finding who i was and what i wanted to do. "Not yet reached my goal" But the day will come. But as he was saying, Finding yourself and being who you are is the most powerful thing on this planet, Once you find yourself you will notice a big energy shift in your life where you will find yourself in a little dark place, but ever heard of the "light at the end of the tunnel" its true, Good things come from bad places, Because before being good you need to see evil. True as fuck interview, Sick hat skepta. I'm out peace.

    Trust me difference between Americans and British is important. Americans show appreciation ten fold and British don't show enough. Americans get big and hide there secrets of success in fear they lose from it and British have a need to share everything they know to help others. Big respects to skepta, his music aside he is trying to help/inspire others to believe inthemselfs for it to be easy for us to do better. Because on the grand scale of things where all just trying to be better people

    I really understood what Skepta said abt how ppl romanticize a lot of these capital cities. It's like how ppl think, "omg I'm going to move to LA and be vegan, and adopt this whole lifestyle, with the pretty beaches" and shit like that. Then come to realize that, LA has a lot of homeless ppl (besides Skid Row), it's not all glamour (aka it's dirty) and that a lot of these places with cultures are disappearing from gentrification. And London is no different. Love this take.
