Ive always liked estelle back in the '1980' and 'free' days.She just proves that talent will get you very far no matter where you come from. I see you in empire too estelle😎 lol. Keep going proud of you👏👏
Love the show, you guys should change the layout to make the guests feel more comfortable don't have the camera opposite them, i.e breakfast club setting feels more like a social gathering rather than like a TV Interview, it will invoke more comfortable responses from the guests.
I respect her a lot more after this interview. I watched her breakfast club one I was a bit sceptical, but I've always enjoyed her music.1980's used to be my shit back in the day.
***** I think it's because she can be more of herself on here than on TBC. She doesn't have to try to impress anyone on NFTR, it's more about getting the truth out of artists than providing them a platform to promote themselves.
So I guess that Empire is not a well known show in the United States and now even here? From what I can see and hear, Estelle has done well for yourself and especially coming from West London where artists are the most selfish with helping one another or opening doors.
***** I don't wanna hate on Estelle because I like her but a cameo on Empire doesn't really disprove my point. Her MUSIC isn't that big out there. She's a known face but since American Boy she aint had a big song or big album. She's low key but congrats to her. Would be better for her to be BIG in the UK than what she is in the US
CalmYeWest Dude Estelle is one of our scenes biggest exports. We need to uplift her. She's respected... They've taken to her. She's won awards, She's been featured and she is proud to be British. Rome was not built in one day and the US is massive and massive leaders in all forms of media. Our scene will grow regardless because of the talent but financial success and longevity is intertwined with US appeal.
David Echo "financial success and longevity is intertwined with US appeal." This just isn't true. I promise you artists like Wiley have made more money than Estelle.
Wiley is the Godfather of Grime. that quote isn't just about Estelle's success it's a true statement about why we shouldn't downplay crossing over or feel we are too big to try and capitalise on that market. You don't have to, as she said in the interview but her music is not Grime and the biggest fanbase for Grime is the U.K obviously, Canada and China so Wiley doesn't need to be out there and he has made some UK pop hits. but they are two different Artists with different accolades. Wiley has sold more but doesn't have a Global single like American boy and hasn't won a Grammy. Wiley is also an amazing producer. He is probably more respected in his Genre but doesn't have the scope Estelle has because she's in the US. Interesting point though.
Woooow 😑 these mutha fuckaz said Nicki Minaj is the best female LYRICIST of all time? Do they not know of Lauren Hyll or the Lady of Rage? Pure ignorance or just too much brown nosing.
Estelle can speak However she wants as along her voice is clear. however this habit of accent switching baffles me. Choose one or speak with your natural/neutral voice. Monie Love does this too.
Good interview but as far as best Female Emcee they clearly have not heard about #SaRoc she will tear apart any rapper lyrically. Chams is wrong Nicki did not shout out or give respect to Lil Kim first. Birdman used Lil Kim in fact they did a record with each other before she blew. Another thing is Lil Kim's manager helped shaped Nicki's career which is obvious why they have a lot of similarities. I dont care about generation thing that Estelle was chatting about that is political because she does not want to screw her chances working with both artists, It is like saying Justin Biebers fans think he is better than Michael Jackson. Or let's keep it UK it's like saying Boy Better Know are better than So Solid Crew you can't shut down pioneers, Each one teach one.
Nicki has sooooooo much potential but isnt and never will be top 10 let alone top 3 or 1st. She has not 1 classic song let alone album and will not be remembered in years to come and im just being real. im a fan i brought her album but realistically nope never.
People gta realize, americans generally are not geographically savy in that they are borderline clueless as to what goes on outside america. So the idea of a uk rapper would be funny or questionable? Why well there is a perception that england is all countrysides and castles and full of tea drinkers. ..no joke. I myself understand the uk culture given that in toronto we share a very simillar cutlure infused with the west indies. All that said, uk rappers should focus on anywhere but america, if they pop in the states then hooray but it should be noted that with exception to chris brown every genre is let by any artist that is not american. (rihanna, drake, bieber, sam smith, adele, etc)
TNT905 False If "making it" in america isn't a big deal than Rihanna wouldn't need Jay-Z to blow her up, Drake and Justin Bieber would have blow up in canada and not needed Lil Wayne and Usher to help their careers. And also every genres is not lead by a person who is not american like Drake is one of the top rappers with Kendrick Lamar who is american and J Cole whom is also american.
Another great video. So good to see Estelle again. She is live.
And prefers good men. Truth. P&L
tbh I'm here to see if she talks about how Voice Acting was with Nicki
can you tell me when she talks about nicki?
✨✨GARNET✨✨✨✨✨
Posty was cracking me up.. I see you.. Lol dropping them dimes
These lot are going in with the choice of guests right now
Ive always liked estelle back in the '1980' and 'free' days.She just proves that talent will get you very far no matter where you come from. I see you in empire too estelle😎 lol. Keep going proud of you👏👏
Proper stuff good insight!
A proper woman! Redeemed yourselves!!
She is so cool.
this was unexpected. but is a very good look
I wanted them to talk about how it's like being on Steven's Universe tbh
That American twang comin threw
187doctor It's been there for a minute tbh
Emc2ky who asked you
The urban UK scenes best export of our generation. Craig David before her but Estelle has held it down for the longest!
love Estelle ....
id sign to estelle !! i rate her movements...shes always stayed in her lane
23;36 donny said 'i hear that' LOOOOL
Love her she inspirational real grafted
Never watch this show love me some Estelle. Lovely interview 🙌
What Garnet thinks if Sugilite.
Love the show, you guys should change the layout to make the guests feel more comfortable don't have the camera opposite them, i.e breakfast club setting feels more like a social gathering rather than like a TV Interview, it will invoke more comfortable responses from the guests.
real talk 26:38 especially in africa aswell
Shine was a great album. The music she made after that with Rick Ross etc. was not at the same level. That's why her music wasn't getting played.
love. crystal gems for lyfe
Rita Ora, aleshia dixon, alexandra burke.. jamelia back in the day
bofhead92 hey naughty boy
23:40 to 23:44 the breadahs take a look
I respect her a lot more after this interview. I watched her breakfast club one I was a bit sceptical, but I've always enjoyed her music.1980's used to be my shit back in the day.
***** I think it's because she can be more of herself on here than on TBC. She doesn't have to try to impress anyone on NFTR, it's more about getting the truth out of artists than providing them a platform to promote themselves.
Top 5 female UK rappers:
1. Ms Dynamite
2. Lioness
3. Baby Blue
4. No Lay or Lady Leshurr
5. Shystie or Estelle
RealVersatile Estelle is a rapper? and No Lay doesn't even deserve an honorable mention on the list
+Josh black estelle started as a rapper
Ken Freeman yeah i just checked out her older stuff, 1980 is dope!
M.I.A should be on that list
What did she say about Nicki Minaj? Im too lazy to watch the whole shit
32:20 - 35:38
Wag1 with the uploads. Everytime I wanna check the new video something happens. P.Money....? Love the videos, just fiend'in
Im from New York ! ESTELLE COME TO MY HOUSE QAQ
I can tell this is gonna be sick already
Shes cool
When she says certain words you can proper hear the American accent coming out now lol big up Estelle tho. Love her music & her positive vibe
shes done well for herself
dont understand the hate ppl have for estelle
I think her voice is quite pleasing to listen to tbh I don't get why people are griping about her voice
cheeky posty 21:32
Good interview. I like Estelle, but New Orleans is not a state in the United States of America. New Orleans is a major city in the state of Louisiana.
For the record M.I.A is most successfull female rapper from the UK and jamelia has achieved more in the UK without a co-sign.
wen you make it on America u have made it
187 MOB Take notes this is how you carry yourselves!
She sounds bare American still
Its like a huge war happening in comments
Loving the concept fellas. I'd appreciate it if you wanted me to co-host alongside you. DM me
man like posty trying his ting lool
These guys talking like Estelle moves major units in US. She ain't even that big there.
So I guess that Empire is not a well known show in the United States and now even here? From what I can see and hear, Estelle has done well for yourself and especially coming from West London where artists are the most selfish with helping one another or opening doors.
***** I don't wanna hate on Estelle because I like her but a cameo on Empire doesn't really disprove my point. Her MUSIC isn't that big out there.

Get newham generals on!
Garnet~ ahaha
Her accent is so fake. Im confused she moved to the US at 27, your accent doesnt usually change that much once you are an adult!
Lmfao you don't know her.
You're an idiot... it does change no matter how old you are
Holla at me Estelle, love you bad
Of course the yanks come over here to bite......they're "African American" and we're African! they miss home! Lol
??? Americans come to the U.K. And observe and take everything back? Lmaoo like what? Girl...
her accent was killing me
gaaarrnettttttttt
the female version of ghetts...
MrGBLACKS Hhgv
MrGBLACKS no
garnet :D
It was a good interview but I just find Estelle irritating
Why? She's so honest and down to Earth.
Good interview but as far as best Female Emcee they clearly have not heard about #SaRoc she will tear apart any rapper lyrically. Chams is wrong Nicki did not shout out or give respect to Lil Kim first. Birdman used Lil Kim in fact they did a record with each other before she blew.

the music industry aint what it seems.Alot of strange things day light robbery all types of stuff taking place
emeli sande aint 2 bad
rarrr full American accent
You've lost me with your accent. 4 minutes into the interview, I locked off. Pity, wanted to know what you had to say
Nicki has sooooooo much potential but isnt and never will be top 10 let alone top 3 or 1st. She has not 1 classic song let alone album and will not be remembered in years to come and im just being real. im a fan i brought her album but realistically nope never.
“Not one classic song” tf
That's in your wildest dreams , not reality
This comment clearly hasn't aged very well
chams needs to fix her teeth to be honest : |
