Most uk artists are interesting in different matters. There are different flow wise, have great lyrical content and even if they don't have the best topic, which is the case of uk drill, they have great word plays. It's not something rare in the US (unless u only hear mainstream songs) but it's more common in the UK.
Nah. Not one of the best ever. No hate to Dave, love his music and his message and he is really good for his age and has a lot of room to grow...but not one of the best to come out of the UK ever, not yet! Best to come out of the UK ever would be people like; Jehst, Klashnekoff, Chester P, Rhyme Asylum, Triple Darkness, Ocean Wisdom, etc.
We pack so much talent our music which has so much influence in it we all decent from other countries in the uk like Nigeria and Jamaica other countries like those so our music is influenced by Afro beats, Reggae, bashment and other tings. Then our word play exceeds the US’s fam as a whole I know there’s Kendrick and J.Cole but those are just exceptions right now, the UK Is consistent. Then what we rap about is real try walking through some parts of London it’s not all posh trust me. Honestly I’m pissed cah our talent is so overlooked, our artists deserve more recognition. But they won’t because the target audience for more recognition is arrogant Americans, forget it man.
You've misinterpreted what the meaning is; he did explain it in this video. "The streets don't love you" was a message he received from a whopper. Dave was just pointing out how this person thinks they are spokesperson for the 'streets'. If anything, Dave was saying it's important to have a genuine imagine so the streets *do* love you.
People say this on every Dave video but before he blew up these videos didn't even have many views so I guarantee you man weren't all watching them at the time
Happened to me alie, used it to deal with my depression and literally became a shell, smoking every day. Still dealing with the effects now. If you even think u have problem with stopping, stop urself for a month. If that's difficult then u need to evaluate ur life
Big 3 Highlight Productions it’s Uk slang init. Also he’s got a point cah in the Uk he’s rated highly but over there he’s not well known so to u he’s underrated.
This guy has had a more mature head on his shoulders ever since he came in the game as a 16 year old. And he actually raps what he lives. Amazing talent and great guy. He's seen alot
Dave is one of the best out there right now, internationally, it's not just a UK ting... bar wise he's a top 5, Americas so called 'hip hop' scene is heading in a weird direction so artists like dave won't get they coverage they deserve. I'm just glad we got somebody out here speaking some real sense
Hey Genius, just for future reference at 2:54 you wrote ‘mommy’ in the onscreen lyrics but Dave said “mummy”. People from the UK don’t say mom or mommy unless they are repeating American English or they are trying to sound American on purpose. People from the UK say mum, mummy or mother in regards to speaking English. You used the American English version which is incorrect in this case. You may hear artists or people use slang for mother like mumzy amongst other words but it will never be mom or mommy. It’s funny because this is not the only time American English either adds an ‘O’ or removes the ‘U’... Take the word ‘colour’ for example American English removes the U to make it ‘color’ lol. I hope this bit of information helps you for your future videos featuring UK artists! Respect Genius! 👊😁
this song is so meaningful for us londoners because it speaks about the real tensions and issues that happen here. dave is such a massive icon for showing the world what london is really like behind the scenes.
I’m honestly I found out about U.K rap! It’s honestly so refreshing for me coming from the U.S 🇺🇸 where everything is starting to sound the same now! 👌🏽🇬🇧
No way, a genius video with an interesting artist, with lyrics that actually have meaning
thanks for the support

I agree Dave is great as he always has a message in his music however J hus and Fredo are definitely the 2 best at the moment.
Jonny Bones wretch 32 and akalaa are better than Dave they even have better and more in depth messages
Carlos Gonzalez I agree if ur looking for music with a meaning no ones better than those 2
Carlos Gonzalez Akala is a fuckboy.

Out of every UK artist. I think Dave has the most potential to become a global artist.
Stormzy too but he somewhat has still
"I brought the fam together like when tommy got the black hand" AYYYY PEAKY BLINDERS REFERENCE JHEEZE

he looks like modie from top boy
Inf3rno honestly🤣🤣
I was thinking that too
are you being serious i can’t tell
Naahh man i dont think its him

If he was from the USA I swear he would be as big as j. Cole and Kendrick with out a doubt
B Lebs not necessarily, talent doesn’t automatically mean you’ll be huge. Cole had a Jay Z co-sign & Kendrick had Dre, but you never know.
