So Solid Crew perfected the Dark Garage sound, the stepping stone to both Dubstep and Grime. Going to College while So Solid were at their peak was a great time. Romeo and Harvey used to come to my College to get girls lol.
Worth reiterating how significant So Solid getting to Number 1 was with 21 seconds. Its coming back into fashion now but the cultural context needs to be emphasised
Getting 21 seconds to number 1 before streams were a thing (so people were actually flooding stores in person to buy CDs) and in an era where British "urban" music still wasn't seen as hugely commercially viable (bear in mind, they were competing with hugely popular pop artists like Britney Spears at her peak) was absolutely massive. They paved the way for the success Skepta, Stormzy, Dave etc. etc. are seeing now.
Uk version of Wu Tang...timeless classic ..at the end credits there like 101 of them lol..including the garge/R n b Sensation ms dynamite .shout to Oxide n Nutreino ...can't belive this is 22 years old...was only 17 years old when this banger..came out visiting relatives down london
Here cause I saw it’s the 20year the day this song was dropped. Visuals are mad for a video that was 20 years old and unique. These days most videos all look the same
When this came out I was shecking out in Astoria with my girls watching them perform it live. Milky Mans were on first. There was a punch-up at the end and I thought I might die. Worth it.
Gabriel & Róisín Angela you are not lying. I was there. That fight was crazy. Some one got bottled. I was already too young to be in rave 🤣 memories. Follow us on instagram
Takes me back this song. Good times. Wearing the 1 golf Nike glove, definitely the fashion back in the early naughties, on the streets with the little Walkman with 30 peeps round it dancing about, wkds, smirnoff ices, brandy, ladies on the lambriney n white ace. 🤮 several zoots getting passed around aswell. Good old days. Manchester was loving life back then 👌🏻🔥
Your fucking tapped these man were trying so hard to sound American and went commercial. C grime wouldn't exist if it wasn't for people like Wiley, roll deep and dizzee rascal. So solid are good tho but they ain't grime.
I went same school as Ashleigh Walters. He was an asshole to me in school but I always respect he was doing something with his life and its great to see him repping the UK like a badman
Dope. Asher D is a don though, seriously; don comes from shotting food doing the normal thing we all do to showing his face regularly on mainstream British television, that's a live positive. Jokes though, building up your acting C.V from the road ting can get you on BBC.
Asher d been acting since he was a youth fam. Before So Solid he was on Grange Hill and other projects. It was almost inevitable that he's music success would catapult his acting career.
@@airmax90_king93 Bro, get one now and the mandem be thinkin you bout to give them a high fade box cut. Hairdressers car now fam. OG back then. £800 for a reason.

The early 2000's, fuck they were great.

Yeh asher was in grange hill, the bill, etc
I personally think he was so solid’s best lyricist
Shut it muppet.you don't know a thing about road man ting.
If you had that car back then you were balling
My friend had it. I never even got to be in the passenger side of my (not best) friend's ride. Two seater woes. She was balling. Me, not so much. 💁🏼
If you had a Audi TT you were balling
There so cheap now you know. You can pick one up for about £800 now.
