As his name is getting announced on the BBC, the quote "A bunch of young men all dressed in black, dancing extemely aggressively on stage. It made me feel so intimidated and it's just not what I expected to see in primetime TV" is being played while they celebrate, couldn't be more accurate. Genius
this is so poorly articulated haha "advocate of black music" are you just gonna put skepta in a box like that? like yeah he's black and he makes music but it's more than just black music and about more than just wether or not bowie was a fan of musicians who were black
Well deserved. Conscious guy who you can see woke up and realised that trying to walk the carpet laid out by mainstream society is ultimately unfulfilling even if some level of success is achieved that way. Independence from social conditioning, unplugging from the matrix with consciousness, rising above and beyond the constraints of mainstream culture has left Skepta shining! BIG UP!
Meege Juuu offended by the truth, I came to the comments section to see what other Skepta fans had to say about his win. first thing I see is somebody talking about African mums being the proudest. what if I said white people were he bravest? brown people were the most nicest? I'm not saying any of those are true but you wouldn't like it. the comment wasn't Skeptas mum seems very proud, it was about her ethnicity and from my experience black people bring race up a lot.
just think, if you were a rapper, and you were even nominated for one, how hyped your closest friends would be, then to go and win it. if they are not mega hyped for you then bun them
How is that rare? The industries aren't racist in the UK either. Stop trying to leech the American awards system off the British system. Can you actually give examples of how this is rare anyway?
Don't think I've ever been this genuinely happy for a musician winning an award before. Very much deserved and is testament to the amount work he's been putting in...well, throughout his career really. Keep doing great things Skepta, best of luck
He's come a long, long fucking way, he deserves that, so humble, so grounded, you can tell he meant every word that come out of his mouth, I got all the time in the world for Skepta, stay real man, your futures bright.
What a humble acceptance speech I've been listening to skepta for over 10 years now ever since he dropped oh my Diddy. he has grown up so much. more power to you brother you've been grinding for years and this is just the start my friend!
Half of me is like "bless man he didn't have a clue he was going to win, he's so shocked" and the other half is like "yeah but he took his mum and dad, course he knew" lol
Grime is on a new lvl Wiley would be proud as he's in his mansion with the other grime stars at the secret grime meeting wanna know who attends nah im bullshitting you lot already know just add giggs now he goes everywhere
Remember watching Skepta freestyles before microphone champion dropped...Love how happy his team are...smashed it man, everyone that listens to grime understands this guys significance! great moment for scene
+digLess I think he's referring to the interview bowie done a while ago where he says rappers are the truly creative part of the industry. Maybe not sure, skepta has had a good year though
He was actually shocked and humble about it which shows he appreciates it. I really respect him for it
Genuinely happy for this man and his team. This is really inspiring. Congrats to Skepta!
"can Skepta come onto the stage please"
'10 PEOPLE WALK ON TL STAGE'
Lollll 🤣🤣🤣 so true init
Nigerian moms will always wear thier Aso-ebi to every event. Church, official and non-officieal meetings :DDD

The irony of people saying David Bowie should have won, is that David Bowie was an advocate for black music for a long time.
this is so poorly articulated haha "advocate of black music" are you just gonna put skepta in a box like that? like yeah he's black and he makes music but it's more than just black music and about more than just wether or not bowie was a fan of musicians who were black
There is no such thing as Black Music. It's just Music.
So If grime isn't black music, what is it then?
doesnt have anything to do with anything
+presmokan music
this is probably the most historical moment in grime history
definitely not wtf r u on about
All the white people like who are these rowdy blacks
lolz
Stfu u goon I know white dons who r about that life n black dons who ain't on shit
Jay Unknown fam I'm just kidding. I know white don't like that as well lool just look at maximum init
African Mums be like go and bring me my glasses 😂 ( 3:52 ). So proud of Skepta 🇳🇬🇬🇧

Yes
well said
very well said ; )
love this paragraph.. Salutations 👐✌
one of the most well-written and worthy comments I've seen, independent to the T bruva
He really deserved it, he's put in the work for years now. One of the UK's greats, despite what you think of grime.
so humble congrats from toronto skepta
Love it when man show support from across the pond
🙌🏽
Skepta a God boa frfr
yo jordie whats gud
loool he was vexed coming up to the stage, sidemans need to sit down and breathe
Cheese Greater 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Skepta is a legend, he deserves it more than anyone else.
African mums always the proudest!
Mimsxo black people bring race into everything
Subhan Amjad Shut up. Because no one is appropriating your culture in thid exact moment doesn't mean when the time comes you will be quiet.

Asians are even more proud though
Mimsxo no Mexicans are the proudest
Ok I didn't know he was Nigerian but God bless his parents. What a wonderful moment 🙏🏾
Where's JME though?
Playing on his Xbox
Not down wit skeppy since he sold his soul ygm
Doest like award ceremonies
He was performing at Koko
Mak Mighty Is that why?
WTF is that 4:15
His boys need to know when to chill
let em live ...after all.....its not everyday ur boy bags up one of the most prestigious accolades in the game ; )
just think, if you were a rapper, and you were even nominated for one, how hyped your closest friends would be, then to go and win it. if they are not mega hyped for you then bun them
If your mates ain't don't get that happy at your succes find some new mates !
If I ever win an important award I want my boys to be hyped like this.
@@ollywhite6680 realest shit
Seeing a dark skinned dude getting recognition in the UK for music is fucking rare.
Is it?
It's not rare stop trying to make the uk sound racist because the majority is not, we are polar opposite to America. At least where I come from
GDK ALLDAY NIGGH thast what i thought too.
GDK ALLDAY NIGGH Not trying to make the UK sound racist, it's the industries that are racist.
How is that rare? The industries aren't racist in the UK either. Stop trying to leech the American awards system off the British system. Can you actually give examples of how this is rare anyway?
congrats skeppy, you deserve it. you have come along way. #greatness
He is the most beautiful man to have ever graced this Earth
I never saw Muhammad Ali walk on the stage...
I never saw Caitlyn Jenner walk on the stage...
Good parents are a blessing xxx, brought tears to my eyes!
Still makes me emotional. My man did it without help from any big label. He did it for his team and his fam. Skepta is the fucking DON.
Kano looks like a proud brother
Skepta: um
Crowd: begins cheering
Come a long way from All Over the House
lool tru
😂😂😂
lol dead
Don't lie, that track's a banger.
They said All Over the House video would crush him, now he's in the Apollo accepting the Mercury Prize
the whole nigerian crew on stage!!nigerian parents be like go be a doctor and an engineer!!!
*And lawyer
Don't think I've ever been this genuinely happy for a musician winning an award before. Very much deserved and is testament to the amount work he's been putting in...well, throughout his career really. Keep doing great things Skepta, best of luck
Proud Mama Dance 4:35
i dont think there was any awkwardness from crowd or presenters it was genuine well wishes was a gd moment .
YES! NO JAMMER RUINING EVERYTHING
hahahahah
Oi Robby shut ur face
He's come a long, long fucking way, he deserves that, so humble, so grounded, you can tell he meant every word that come out of his mouth, I got all the time in the world for Skepta, stay real man, your futures bright.
Emotional big up skeppy
what a great moment for Skepta.
His parents must be so proud. Big up skeppy
why do I feel so proud?
BBK♥
What a humble acceptance speech I've been listening to skepta for over 10 years now ever since he dropped oh my Diddy. he has grown up so much. more power to you brother you've been grinding for years and this is just the start my friend!
Who's here after he started dating adele lol
Ollie Pope you know
Ollie Pope haha hard
If it wasn't for Adele I wouldn't know this beautiful man
2:41 that flash was mad
Humble in victory
As much of a skepta fan I am, Konnichiwa didn't really hit a home run like Blacklisted did. Nonetheless you still deserved it mate!! Congrats!!
1:34 I thought that was Carlton from fresh prince for a second 😂😂😂
Yes skepta,! been on dis man from day a real artist not no manufactured crap.
Very deserved👏🏾👏🏾
Trillmatic
Beats Lyrical just about to comment the same😂
Honestly loved this! Such an inspiring and humble guy🙌🏾
Mua
This is everything! Well done Skepta, you have made us all proud!
Yes Skepta! Making movements
Great acceptance speech. Nice one, Skepta.
He looked so shocked bless him
Where's little t at
04:16.... Wtf?????
Think the audience guessed that one. Also love how it took him a solid 3 mins to finish getting gassed up by his mandem before he got to the stage.
Half of me is like "bless man he didn't have a clue he was going to win, he's so shocked" and the other half is like "yeah but he took his mum and dad, course he knew" lol
That roar when cocker announced it was incredible
Well deserved!! King Of Grime!!!
Konnichiwa was kinda dead
Said no one ever
No it aint
not at all
His table was just ratchet spilling drinks about and shit just do a dance shout or whatever and sit down no need to be extra.
0:11 thick girl on the right
so huge!
better start putting some respek on grime!
Well if people work hard, then their is no reason for a different genre of music to be recognised and appreciated!
is skepta muslim? or is that just cultural Nigerian clothes his parents(I assume) are wearing?
rb26dett traditional nigerian clothes
Grime is on a new lvl Wiley would be proud as he's in his mansion with the other grime stars at the secret grime meeting wanna know who attends nah im bullshitting you lot already know just add giggs now he goes everywhere
I fuck with this dude, uk grime soon to be mainstream
already is
I feel you, but still to many people sleeping
Yet for some fucking reason chip won best grime artist at the mobos. Fucking bullshit
Good on skep but where is jme or at least a mention 🤔
He pointed in the crowd and said 'Love you bro', surely that was towards JME?
Jme was doing a show that night with shaka
Dan Mann honestly do they have a bad relationship or something? you barely see them together anymore
why u always trying to find drama man shut ur mouth
Jttop T wtf you talking about always trying to find drama 🤔🤔🤔
Would have loved Kano to won because he had the better album. But saying that skepta has been on the grind for years now. Well done g
Grant Reid Agree
Both deserve it tho
Boy better know
Remember watching Skepta freestyles before microphone champion dropped...Love how happy his team are...smashed it man, everyone that listens to grime understands this guys significance! great moment for scene
Nigeria 🇳🇬 always doing it big
great achievement but what a poor speech LOL
low it mate
brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap yes Skeppy
ngl this is sweet, but where was JME? like i seriously am asking
jme dont rate award shows so he never goes dont blame him man awards dont mean shit all abt making music for the ppl
Where was JME? I'm surprised he wasn't on stage and he didn't even get a mention haha
Doesn't do award things
He was playing pro clubs on fifa with the sidemen lol
very well deserved. konnichiwa was a very well put together album.
I bin said skepta is going to take the game into unchartered waters. ...
as if bowie would have heard shutdown and liked it.
was looking for this comment hahaha, jarvis cockers lost it if he thinks that
+digLess I think he's referring to the interview bowie done a while ago where he says rappers are the truly creative part of the industry. Maybe not sure, skepta has had a good year though
bickle I like skepta, just think that was unnecessary thing to say,
yeah i like skepta too and honestly he truly deserved the award for konnichiwa but when you think bowie you just dont think of grime haha
Clorox Bleach he was inspired my Kendrick Lamar when making black star so Bowie had nothing against rap
My mom and dad and my friend's mom and dad❤
Inspiring
Respect to African Mom's
julie is myy headtie fit on my head(in naija accent)
Is it me or is Ashley Walters and kano there 😂
Manz got a standing ovation. Respect bro.
Mans independent. Hero
Just bought his air max tailwind v great looking trainer.
Skepta is an absolute star. Phenomenal grime artist with wonderful lyricism and talent. Good on you man. Bowie would be proud. 👍👌👌
Congratulations big bro but who the fuck is that at 4:14 lookin like something straight out of my nightmares hahahaha
Lord have mercy who is that girl behind him.. whats her ig ?
his sister Julie
That's Julie Adenuga.
some dead bald JME
giving thanks to all his friends mum and dads is one of the realest things I've ever heard!
Skepta didn't bring jammer because he'd Rip the award off him 😂
UA-cam are really recommending the right stuff. Recognition to the grime king.
Well done skepta!! Your mates are like bunch of animals.
making me cry...guess joy does that well done xx
🏆Big Up 🔝Skepta👑 💪🏽Strongest speech🔥, 👏legendary.
