Pop Smoke UK interview with DJ Semtex

- "We bought Pop Smoke over for his first ever UK show. At the time he only had a few tracks out, but the show sold out within seconds, then the show was upgraded to a bigger venue. That sold out, and it was one of the hottest shows of 2019.
In 2020 he was back in the UK, I connected with him for an in-depth interview which was nothing but inspiring. It provided a glimpse of an artist who was on a path to greatness.
He was a very cool guy. He genuinely loved the UK and wanted to spend more time out here. He could talk in detail about his appreciation of artists such as Skepta, Fredo, J Hus, Headie one, and DBE. He already knew about the newer UK artists coming through, and was keen to learn more.
All of this makes his passing even more more difficult to accept or understand.
I hate doing tribute posts for people that had a very real calling to make some kind of difference or change. It’s heart wrenching. I’m just reflecting on the few moments that I knew him for. I can’t begin to imagine what his close friends and family are going through right now.
Rest in power Pop Smoke. Deepest condolences to his loved ones. Another legend has gone too soon. His music will forever shake the room." - DJ Semtex (Instagram post, 2020)

The death of Pop smoke will always trigger a nerve in me. Rest in peace big Woo 💫
i will never get over this ,... this man was something special for us no one can imagine what he would gonna do to the game....i dont wanna like over hype him but for me personally he was different like his sound was soo good and freshing... no hate but like juice wrld album for me sounds too much the same like gunna are aall from this 2020 era but pops sound but was on some complete unique different vibe
High Class Fr bro! Pop was really bringing back the gangsta rap we’ve all missed. When i heard welcome to the party this time last year i knew he was gonna be something huge. Probs the first artist in a while i’ve been very upset over a artists passing.
I feel you
Same feelin,shit is unfaire as hell!
Never will be able to see the guy go bigger!
See him preform at concerts get older and enjoying his wealth from hard work etc.. a genuine kind soul..
Woo in Peace
Luuk Looper shit hit different everyday I’m never forgetting that nigga his album last summer shook New York up everyone and they moms was bumpin that it took a couple months for the song to go brazy tho rip to the big woo 💫
He was just to good for the whole rap game conquered it in 14 months.. WOO IN HEAVEN💙🕊💫
14 months!!?? More like 6 , dawg
I'm sad seeing him gone so soon

@@hr.55 FACTS
TRAGIC LOSS. can say that again :(
The biggest woo so humble 😪
SMOKE WILL NEVER CLEAR!!
I like how he always gives Jay Gwuapo credit for him starting to rap. Long live pop 💙💫
Right
He’s perfect for someone that’s global n a superstar.
He had his own sound. Whole different sound
He’s unique
He’s Jamaican , Spanish. Had Muslim ties, Crip, face of a new movement (Woo), the face of new New York drill. Crossed over and connected London and America.
He’s like the only new artist that don’t need Drake. He had that appeal off his own , his own swag n buzz. Not mention he has song with almost every hip hop artist
He said he grew up in a church family though. So he’s most likely Christian?
Averseus C he converted
Banner 19 Source? I’ve never heard him say this ever lol
Averseus C and he has Christian ties. I left that off the list your right.
Averseus C check Twitter there’s people talking about him going to his local mosque wanting to convert
Pop Smoke didn't lose his life, it was stolen, smh.
Are those Von lips?

Man the way he shows so much love to the UK scene is unreal, gone way too early RIP POP
You cannot say pop and forget the smoke 🗣💨💨💨💨💫💫💫💫💫
22:04 the part where he said “ I’m gonna get out, I ain’t dead” got me sad all over again. RIP big woo. London really appreciated his music and I’m glad he knew that 🥺💙💙

LONG LIVE THE WOO 💫
Say it louder woo THE SMOKE WILL NEVA CLEAR
He was just a different artist compared to the rest, he was almost too good for the music industry, in the short span of time he smashed it. Rest in peace pop smoke.
Love from manchester
He was too good man
Had one of the most outgoing open and down to earth personalities, hard to find a guy like that anywhere, Rip Pop 🕊💫
This dude could’ve been a story teller 😭😭😭
He seemed so passionate about music
Rest In Peace to the big dawg. I love this man’s energy, real authentic vibes..
I swear, all the good ones go before I ever get a chance to see them live..
I just can’t believe this baby is not here anymore. He has so much knowledge yet still needed guidance. I have seen many artists come and go but never having the dynamics this beautiful guy had . For ever love you Bashar 💙💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
He only made hits,we needed Pop Smoke in this era,I wish he was still here
8:07 If he actually moved to London, he'd probably still be alive. Rip 🙏🏾
London is worse than LA 😂
@@SS-wd5sg He has no ops in London.
@@SS-wd5sg Also I'm from London. If you think anywhere in London is worse than Compton, you're begging it 🤦🏿♂️
His vibe is inspiring, I learned about pop smoke like 2 weeks before he died and he flew under my radar till Aim for the moon came out and I realized how tragic his death was because I wanted to hear so much more and learn as much as I could I just recently went back and listened to his stuff from the beginning to end and listened to interviews and we can all learn something from him and he was the ultimate student. RIP WOO 🌟🌕🕊
Blessed to see him perform live 💫💙
Damn bro i wish
Lucky you.
I saw him at rolling loud LA for 2 songs
that’s sweet
I’ve never been to a show, it’s not really my thing but for pop smoke I would’ve went to see him perform live for sure he’s different.
so good to see him from time to time... i miss this dude so much... jesus christ
Such a beautiful soul. Truly miss him. He represented NY the right way! 🗽
This dude was special. Truly special man
He really impacted the drill scene and the rap scene long live Woooo🕊💫
its crazy to think about it ...pop you really made big moves your music was phenomenal you had the voice you had the energy you had it all ..& they took it away from you. rip woo
Forever My Heart.Forever My Dawgs🕊💫
We will always put on for you, the smoke will neva clear

Grttttt bowwww
I love to see pop showing love to the UK scene like this RIP the WOO
Damn he was different
Every interview u see a different pop smoke
I feel like he was getting more comfortable with interviews as time passed
Here in 2023 and still hurttin😢 #thesmokewillneverclear 💫
Long Live Bashar 💙🕊 forever in my heart woo
breaks my heart everytime i see dude droppping knowledge....
Maaaaan watching this knowing he’s gone is so fucking sad. He was only 20.. barely started his journey in life and he was damn near on top of the world. Just tragic..... Rest in peace Pop Smoke. 😔
It’s just great to here this man talk 💫
I was in a shisha lounge and I heard this song welcome to the party I swear to god I fell in luv wid pop smoke long live the woo💫💫💫💫RIP😢😢
THE SMOKE WILL NEVER CLEAR
The Americans need to come watch this and listen to him say “I love the uk it’s the home of the drill, this is where I caught my vibes from”
😂and? We dont think the UK is bad but ya always hate on us so we just reciprocate the energy. Home of drill is Chicago but in pop's case he just liked london drill more so he called it his home
@@nationsss2616 I actually agree with you 100% the home is Chicago but like pop said Chicago drill just ain’t like Uk then uk and New York started getting on eachothers beats and it was so good. I love US music a lot more than UK truthfully but when the uk and New York came together on the drill scene it was something different
@@nationsss2616 but I respect what u said bro I agree
@@RSto1122 i've heard a few uk songs a i fuck w them. You have any recommendations of ppl i should check out?
@@crisl9518 OFB including headie one and abracadabra, M24, M1LLIONZ, Russ Millions, Digga D, Unkown T, 67, Harlem Spartans, Central Cee, dutchavelli
Pop had this natural energy no one else had and its crazy how viscious they got for it
A real GOAT💫 Gone wayy too soon but LongLivePopSmoke🕊
He's a very respectable man too
we lost a true Legend
I miss Pop Smoke... Beyond music even, just his whole vibe. Felt like he was going to (he did) unite 2 nations and change course of music. Rest in paradise young OG.
Watching this is giving me goose pimples. RIP Pop Smoke. You are special
Man this is just another type of feeling to know that this man is gon just like that people just do anything now days and it’s sad how they took his life like that he was just now in the rap game and then he was a legend and he was also so young he didn’t even get to know the feeling of having a family of his own man this hurts and breaks my heart REST UP WOO RIP 😢💔🕊
Bruh i see you everywhere with a big ass paragraph like stfu😭✋🏾.
@@dianashiesty3960 Girl I been commenting on all pop smoke videos since he started making music and plus I can comment where ever I want so gtfo if u don’t like it tf

Time stamp?
Never listened to his music but after these interviews you can just tell bro didn’t deserve to lose his life. Definitely had so much left to do in the rap scene deadass
Big big interview
I wish people had the same energy and love for us brothers while we're here. We running around killing each other when we're all we got. Killing soldiers in your own army let that sink in.....
I dont know why but Pop's Death, how it went down actually makes me sad. How can u Kill a 20 Year Old over some money man.. Let him live is life man
No one has the right to take someones Life away
I miss him everyday 💔
Rip woo💫🕊
I love this guy man forever. Rip POPSMOKE. The Smoke will never clear 💙💫
This is the best Pop Smoke interview I've watched so far and I haven't even watched the whole thing yet, he's really enjoying himself and articulating his experiences in a really descriptive manner which is something I usually don't see him do in interviews
I’m hea before 1k THE SMOKE WILL NEVA CLEA 💫💫💫 👑

HANDS DOWN BEST INTERVIEW
Lol
He should have stayed in London to make his music man smft.
He died in Beverly Hills, nobody expects to die there especially after living in Brooklyn all ur Life. Death is really right round the corner
Americans aint safe in their own country
@@jacktheripper5661 everyone should expect to die there. it happens to pac and big and everyone (including pop) was from the east too.. it gonna happen to everyone.
DJ Semtex said move to London , pop should have done it 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️ rip pop
Trussss I was thinking that wen he said dat
Pop was very rare rest in peace Big Woo!!!!!
Forever Pop Smoke 💫💫🙏🏽
Made a huge impact in rap world in two years rip pop smoke you da goat
