Such a tune. I was a music teacher in a secondary school with a lot of disaffected black and Asian kids who barely had cultural representation, let alone representation in the curriculum (apart from maths exams where Iqbal is trying to figure out how to fairly share his oranges...) when this tune came out, the kids wanted to lie how to make this sound, and we had pcs that could run FruityLoops (I'd installed a crack). Overnight discipline problems disappeared in my classroom. I started running lunch clubs for kids wanting to learn production. took violence out the playground, into the computer, into music. thank you More Fire crew. I hope you know how important and inspirational you were.
Can't even disagree with that comment. This was the first tune that I remember took off for east man, after so solids album and buzz this came out around them times 01 or 02, you can by beat it has a slight garage sound like them so solid beats. This tune was even playing in an eastenders episode once in the background that's how big it got. Reel east ender ting cmon
I'm in my PJs with a headache, blocked nose and sore throat. I tapped this by accident and now I'm prepared to go out and skank 😂 this played at my wedding and the foreign in-laws and older family members were like wtf 😂Me and my girls went mad 😆
I'm a 34 year old father of 2 with a job and a mortgage. This song makes my top 10 of all time. Absolute banger and a portal into the London grime scene in the late 90s early naughties.
I'm also 34, I don't even like grime.. well... what it turned into at least. UK got style but half these artist sound like they got a coat hanger in their gob. Half american haha only a few who can spit for UK tbh. And most silent now
North west man 33 ..channel u was where it was at ...miss these days ...also two kids ...that are available for full time adoption if any one wants 😂 🤣
I'm a white boy from the Midlands who mainly listens to metal but I remember hearing this in the early 2000s and just thinking it sounded amazing. I hated garage but this just sounded like some kind of mutant offspring that was a million times more interesting and authentic. After this I got introduced to Wiley and ever since I've always appreciated grime as some of the most innovative, exciting music coming out of the UK but this was my first exposure to it and it still sounds awesome.
I also mainly listen to metal and I also I like grime. You've perfectly explained why it's so good, it's just interesting and I like the 'hardness' of the vocals and beats. It's just interesting and raw. Next Hype is an amazing song. I know that Dizzee Rascal has spoken about his metal and rock influences, and that's probably why his album sounded so different.
It's the middle eastern scale they're using. It's the same used in countless metal tunes. That's what it is. Without that beat/melody this song is nothing.
Rah - dem Avirex levvaz you know - the memories are flooding back. On road wid da mandem, no trouble just on a mission to ketch tha most gyal, hittin up every city.... Citroen AX GT my darg, lowered, cherry bomb exhaust Wooooooooiiiiii! LMAO
I left the UK for South Africa the year this first came out. Discovered it by accident through a podcast by George the Poet. CAN'T stop listening to it. Totally mind blowing. I'm 45 years old and would sell my car for a ticket to see the original crew doing this live.
This choon was a game changer. The way it blew up overnight was immense. This got rewinds everywhere. All the big name DJs on the underground played it. It got battered on pirate radio before it stormed the national charts. The level of hype this got in the raves was next level.
Brings back memories of going footlocker in London every other week to get a new TN hat then going to show it off to the boys in the stair ways to the flats blazing hash. Was a much easier life back then.
Whose that more fire crew oi whose that more fire crew ,say what ya gonna say do what ya do like uh ohh were that more fire creww aiii fucking tune mushh
@@lodzbristol6734 yeah I remember heartless crew. I remember more fire and so solid being played most on MTV though, I know there were probably others before, but they are what I remembered first making in in the mainstream.
This video always puts a smile on my face when seeing old friends in the video. Good times and great music coming from all over England. Oi isn't a Grime track in hindsight, this is what happened when UK Garage met Dancehall. If you like this, go and listen to Sticky ft Ms Dynamite - Booo! Massive UKG track.
Ozzie B and Neeko are still making music, but Lethal and Ozzie are close friends so they both stay in touch. Lethal was the leader of Fire Camp (More Fire Crew eventually split) and clearly a business man. He's what we call one of the Grime Ministers. Gathering the MC's from different crews together to create the Forward Riddim and just making music his career.
***** I agree with you mate. Wiley used to go onto RWD Magazine Forums and stated how he created 'Grimey Garage' which was around the release of Eskimo and his other White Label instrumentals. Platinum 45 was mainly from a Reggae/Dancehall background and that's why the beat sounded so much like a Dancehall track.
This was that real uk sound if you ask me this new generation dont have a clue about garage and them early grime days there I'm so glad I got to grow up on thisb
I remember being 11 and walking to and back from secondary school everyday with my sony walkman in my blazer pocket. and all i used to have on repeat was 3 albums More Fire Crew C.V, Dizzee Rascal Boy in Da Corner, 50 Cent Get Rich Or Die Trying 🔥! They we're the good old days 👌❤️..
my fighting Joint !!Them skew head bruvs baddr than 100 rotweilers in a steel cage BLEEEEEw WhUUU!!! These are are originators of them true drill trap song deh... Rush it YUH!
Big memories in remembered in 2018!! Man was in year 11! Mad to think that practically everyone in this video is in the 30's now with kids n that. They looked so old to me then: we've grown people!x
Not really fussed when people realised that this was a banger.. Doesn't matter if people got it here via Section Boyz either really just appreciate good music when you hear it. Allow it.
OIIIII….. maddddddddd…. Do you know how many hours we waited to watch this on Channel U. Are you mad. This was better than pow. The memories this brings back. Mad
The UK economy isn't as large as the US, that itself explains why Grime isn't as influential. Not to mention the fact that the US has a population of 312 Million compared to the 63 million of UK not England!
Mase Ali do you know who u talking two i.m an irish traveller and we love boxing and i will meet you what ur number i be there friday when im off the tag in my leg
Mase Ali now you are backing off your an internet talk if you want to box one on one we can do it for money what would you say about that 07833851800 ring me make sure your number is showing
A lot of people think grime started with so solid crew but I think it started here. Was 17 when this came out at college and no one had heard anything like it
I've been lookin' for this song for awhile....never knew the artist/group but it was a favorite of mine since it came out. There used to be a 2 step/UK garage dj here in Michigan who would play this and I'd bump his mix cd everyday. Glad to finally find out who was behind this track. Thanks!!
Oh my god I remember I had this single on my tape Walkman on the bus to Kingston from Sutton he had 21 seconds and we would swap tapes every five minutes wow memories

Adam Martin before school and after school Breda!!!
Naaaa was THE BOX for me

Channel U what a channel that was
I'd just left school lol but school dances to it
One of the greatest grime tunes of all time. Still sounds free after 20+ years.
The little breakdown part too, that was a flex years ago 😂

This was before grime. It's garage
Favorite part is Neeko switching up his rhyme scheme and voice with "Understand / Check out da dangargan" at 2:17. Great flow all around.
YES ! 👏
Thought i was the only one ! Neeko killed it brapp!
Neeko has the sickest flow in this flow
Come on. It's gotta b everyones fave bit
ICareBecauseYouDo he enters the tune properly.
Big up the lucky generation that grew up on proppa grime.
for real
this is more garage than grime
Big up 👆
Haha uno That G!!!
UBER CHEESE exactly
i wish grime was still like this
+Leon Rowe do u like olschool garage 2 step??
+Leon Rowe Init, this is proper grime. Even BBK used to produce some proper tunes.
+Kieran Aylward no its not its more garage
donkykóng Well, Grime did come from Garage and Jungle...
Kieran Aylward yh it may have but this is garage it was out long before grime was a thing

This was the beginning of the transition from Garage to Grime.
If u werent in ur teens
Between 2001-2004.
U missed the greatest grime/garrage muzik era trust me.
I stand by that to this day - 99 - 2004 were epic years to be a teen in the UK.
Roll deep bonfire bonanza baddest set ever
Jeez you’re old asf
@@aaronaldo14 wow💀💀💀🤣🤣
Honestly this is a riddim and I was born months after this came out in 02
When the term Grime didn't exist, and was being mis-labelled as Garage.
Absolute truth mate. Kiss, MTV Base would play garage on the commercial slots and out this stuff in ‘Urban’. Trevor Nelson The Lick big up
@@musicwithguitars Channel U was the one for me mate. When that finished I went into mourning.
kmm
So true...this kinda music was the precursor to modern grime
They used to sell vynil in shops with labels grime/dubstep.
And my mates used to ask "so it's same music? "
I wish Neeko did more music his voice and flow are perfection !
If you are under 28 right now you will never fully understand how big this track was
im 31 and i barely know i was like 13 lmao
Not really. Only knob heads listened to this kind of crap.
I’m under 28 and I’ve heard this beat before, this was a recommended vid and I’m glad it was
Mate This tune was massive! Never gets old
Lol 28 is such a specific number bro. Why 28? You were like 8 years old when it came out as well.
The only time I EVER called a radio station was to beg them to play this tune. Noughties GOLD
Almost 20 years since the commercial release of this classic. How time flies

cant believe bizzle was 17 when this came out
ADLY SHIRBINI lool he looks the same
Naa he's skinny af there
I remember seeing these at dajavu pirate station all hype
ADLY SHIRBINI naaa he looks older than 17
HaydnDB He was this came out in 2002 and bizzle was 17/18
This came out on my 16th birthday! The good old days! Still listening to it approaching my 30th.
When did this come out
+rorz999 2001
LeBron James your youtube is lebron james your not 30
I was born 02 shit for me
36/37 now haha
It's September of 2024 now and this tune is still a banger to this day.
One of the greatest Grime songs of all time. Eternally Timeless.
I left the UK for South Africa the year this first came out. Discovered it by accident through a podcast by George the Poet. CAN'T stop listening to it. Totally mind blowing. I'm 45 years old and would sell my car for a ticket to see the original crew doing this live.
Come on bro , a whips more important 😂

This was THE original grime song. There was so solid crew, and these guys.
Innit
I think so solid came AFTER more fire. I remember x amount of crews started coming along 👍🏾
Pay as you go and heartless were the first in the garage raves
@@lodzbristol6734 yeah I remember heartless crew. I remember more fire and so solid being played most on MTV though, I know there were probably others before, but they are what I remembered first making in in the mainstream.

Yeah makes sense, i knew about Lethal and Neeko falling out
Lethal said that they weren't really friends. Ozzie introduced them to one another and they both shared the same passion around the time.
***** I agree with you mate. Wiley used to go onto RWD Magazine Forums and stated how he created 'Grimey Garage' which was around the release of Eskimo and his other White Label instrumentals.
Platinum 45 was mainly from a Reggae/Dancehall background and that's why the beat sounded so much like a Dancehall track.
I wish lethal still rapped like this, only does bare corny stuff now
Lethal sent us here from Twitter
Neeko, Ozzie B and Lethal B,.dropping the lyrics hard.
After 15 years and it still heats hard

This was that real uk sound if you ask me this new generation dont have a clue about garage and them early grime days there I'm so glad I got to grow up on thisb
Still bangs to this day,soon as the beat starts- them that know dun know
Forgot about dis one. Damn, you can hear grime, garage, drill, trap. This was revolutionary
Skepta “eyes on me” brought me back
I never did find out who that more fire crew was.
+Julian Davies neither did they
+Julian Davies Lethal Bizzle, Ozzie B and Neeko were the three members!
Shiny Knight, yeah, but who are they?
Julian Davies Some guys who got lost and ended up in Bizzle's music video :D
That doesn't answer my question really. :>
Remember this from sixth form college days...tune! 🔥
2002-2008 were the best years of UK garage and grime! Miss those years big time
This was one of the foundation tunes out there which defined the grime scene. Took it to the next level.
