In my eyes Dave has his own ‘genre’ he speaks what he lives in the form of ‘rap’ he is just educating not trying be a big man . He is so educated for his age. I have more respect for him than I do for 90% of the industry combined. Dave is The future
The fact that he just won't Album of the year at the Brits this year and did a performance just like this at the BRITS is blowing my mind ALWAYS STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF DAVE!!!
Dave is a conscious young rapper unlike the mumble rappers we have nowadays lol may God keep guiding you to be a conscious rapper for the rest of your life. Stay true to your yourself always because that's where you will find contentment.
Conscious lyrics and a stunning performance. Such an important speaker... Dave, George the Poet and ishmahil blagrove are some of the individuals opening my eyes - as a white man from Essex - to the plight of non-white folk in this country. Thank you
the lyrics in this song are so underrated, people aren't deeping how literal it is. He nearly did get killed when he was 17.. if you know you know. He chose the right path
Dave is an inspiration his bars I relate to and have help me so much through my life everyone can link to Dave if there having a bad Time officially certified best of all time thanks Dave 💯 just hoped it was me up on that stage at Glastonbury duetting Tiago Silva love he’s going far
call me schofield cos i got prison in my skin..dave explains race as well as any author or scholar but does it with such skill. mans got bars like a prison cell
Grime is completely different, the beat is much faster and the lyrics don't really have any meaning; this is rap, Grime is more of an upbeat tune you can dance to in the club and so on.
I have a thing about rapping over orchestral/chamber.
This guy is totally doing it for me.
Hayley Longster check out Kano on jools show a few years ago
Hayley Longster Kano-feel free ft Damon BBC
Mike Hunt I know fucking weirdo
I won't. You might enjoy it a little too much.
(Especially you. Giggedy.)
I can't lie this was too real. You can just feel every word spoken nahhh. Legendary.
Ithna Ali It's True I Feel The Beat It's Mad ‼️ Yano The One Thing I Love That His Song Tell True Stories 💯👍👌❤️‼️🕶😎👈😀😄😱
Put this man's face on our currency
Stick it on the Euro.
thank you for re-defining a stereotype Dave.
Nick Russell yh man only the ignorant follow stereotypes
Brilliant
Am I the only one that gets this feeling when watching Dave do performances like this - actually feels like we're watching the greatest in the making.
Don skeng i feel you exactly bro, i feel like i could play my future children this song the message behind it is pure
Don skeng my man's the next Adele
Don skeng 100% he's so good spits the truth which is why his performances are moving
My kids will b revising his lyrics for gcses
Now look at what he has achieved and he is only just getting started
Doesn't matter what genre, real talent shines through
Apart from Screamo/Extreme Heavy Metal... That shits just fucked
You say that, bet you couldnt play any of it, take talent. Even if its not to everyones taste
@@christophe9191 stop talking about shit you dont know. Wtf is extreme heavy metal. Learn about other music before you talk shit about it
@@christophe9191 but like...
don't let anybody tell you you can't run, dance, sing or be a baller
you can be a king

MrWisesam123 cmonnn
English Tupac, absolute legend in the making and no doubt will go down as the greatest Uk rapper to ever spit
Tupac ain’t got none on Dave man, like I know he’s og n shit but nah bro
@@ddm6779 honestly, like people give the title "Legend" away to Tupac just because hes like you said, an OG. Dave is one of the few that deserves it.
Watching this on the day he won the Mercury Prize .... damn he deserved it and so much more
The fact that he just won't Album of the year at the Brits this year and did a performance just like this at the BRITS is blowing my mind ALWAYS STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF DAVE!!!
Killed it! Dave is Dave, there's no one like him.
100% Dave’s most underrated song, no doubt about it🔥 The greatest in the making
Check out his track 'Question Time'
This is better than Question Time.
Anyone else?
Andy Chapman I’ve heard question time. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good song, it’s just there’s a lot more better dave songs
BMG Darby 100%
7 years later still listening to this absolute gem
You can hear the nerves in his voice, oh how far he’s come. One in a generation.
"You can call me scholfield, why? Coz I got prison in my skin"
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes Yes prison break🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes Yes madness
Read this as he said it... jeeez!
Mr Lindo Same wow
@@amariblake9326 uhm same tf
Man, he wasn't just spitting barz he was telling a story
Any listeners in 2019?
Yeah, guvnor. Listening in 2019. Before he was famous, eh?
It really annoys me how this doesn't have more views
@@jacktrorey5321 his fire in the booth hotel California cover is the greatest
Cmonn
Listening in 2020
Seen him in concert jesus hes special so much talent and grounded
So true
Cmonn
There's no limit to where this young man can go, so much knowledge for his age.
If Dave keeps this up he can be the greatest rapper of all time imo
Roan Spillane cmonbn
Lol chill out
kis005 bro he’s the brst
He was only 18 doing this 🔥🔥🔥
Dave is a conscious young rapper unlike the mumble rappers we have nowadays lol may God keep guiding you to be a conscious rapper for the rest of your life. Stay true to your yourself always because that's where you will find contentment.
Daves not a grime artist...guys a poet
He’s not a grime artist anyway bro
Man said grime
@@maxashton5481 thats what he said tho
I am at war with my mind. Beautiful
Great future for this one
this performance was so good.
I didn't even know it was possible to rap nd play the piano so good.
Dave's something else.
Conscious lyrics and a stunning performance. Such an important speaker... Dave, George the Poet and ishmahil blagrove are some of the individuals opening my eyes - as a white man from Essex - to the plight of non-white folk in this country. Thank you
So proud of Santan Dave, he's come so far it's mad
Love this track pure emotion
like button smashed before this acoustic beauty even blessed my ears
ive literally been listening to his music for 2 hours now
I love how simple and chilled Dave is despite being so talented, not to mention good looking. He's so different really hope the young man goes far x
This was the first time I heard of him and thought it was special. Last night he won the mercury prize. Good for him.
the lyrics in this song are so underrated, people aren't deeping how literal it is. He nearly did get killed when he was 17.. if you know you know. He chose the right path
Tell me bro
Remember the name.
Waves bruv hes already big you spoon
Waves you must only have just heard of dave then
ali petrie What? I understand he's big now but what I'm saying is he's only 18? Imagine what he's like in 10 years.
ali petrie we can all name good rappers g but whos differnt or good live or not part of a county flock
Wow! Gets me everytime. This young man is a true master of the spoken word.
Tupac of this generation, his message is bigger than rap, he will retire as the greatest to come out of the uk.
Big up Jools Holland
santan dave. remember the name, the GOAT in the making.
Am addicted to his music. The realest rapper
oh God, This live was beautiful.

Love seeing people who don't know grime appreciation Dave
Billy Maher but this is not grime
Jaylano M what is it then
This isn't grime it's just UK rap
Grime has a different beat and it's often faster
Grime is completely different, the beat is much faster and the lyrics don't really have any meaning; this is rap, Grime is more of an upbeat tune you can dance to in the club and so on.
@@jackbarber2385 👀👀👀 don't have meaning..? 💀
I can imagine Tupac doing a song like this! I know it's a big statement but cmon dave is sick. They both stand for the same stuff almost
I agree they both rap about things that have meaning no just girls,alcohol and smoking
Tupac would be so proud of him
Dave is WAY better than Pac, no contest. Lyrically, wordplay, entendre's, schemes the lot, dave is light years ahead of what Pac was and the dudes 17
Hench Crustacean he's 19
well he is dead so
Class
Another truly magnificent first performance on Jools, I so enjoy his show every time. Dave was so passionate and sublime. Thank you.
this is insanely good wtf
Dave - 🐐
