Didn’t know Giggs knows his Hip Hop history like this so this makes me respect him a lot more. Student of the game fr. This interview brought out more of his personality, seems comfortable here. Also, we need that drink champs interview with Giggs
... People from foreign countries (such as here in England) generally study the culture as that's the only way we can access it as it isn't something we live, experience as it isn't inherently our culture. So if you're Black in America, you don't have to study Hip Hop as you live, breathe and ARE Hip Hop- it's your life and what you live. You don't HAVE to 'study' it. But for us, it's like a passion project for us.
Giggs is certi. He’s as real as they come. Humble as they come. Always stayed true to himself and his sound. Deserves nothing but respect. You don’t get on tracks with Drake, Jadakiss and Diddy if you aren’t highly rated. Glad he’s getting his flowers.
We were listing to hip hop in my London borough, (Hackney) from 1984, Electro Albums, Mantronix, Justice, Real Roxanne, Shante, Skooly D, we been dialed in from morning. Big up Giggs, he's a national treasure, respect to all London artists, Rodney P, Mud Fam, Terra Firma, Phi Life and the like.
Giggs had the UK in a choke hold from 2009 - 2013 And gained life long fans and supporters. I remember hwen the older kids in my area first played "UMMM" to me .... bro ..... shit was emotional i was like 14.
UK rap royalty right here . I remember when UK rap was garage n then grime . I remember So Solid with the Audis in the videos , corny ass lady sovereign , k Koke , SAS , even Tanna n PDC , roadside G’s and all the newer cats salute to them drillers n reg MCs . I feel like UK gives me the essence of real hip hop . From OJB to Pak Man , Squeekz , Tiny Boost n Tef , Potter , n so many I forgot .

Hip Hop in the UK is about 40 years, first track to enter the charts and show on TV was Rappers Delight 1979. Mainly Electro and early rap so if you look really at it 82/83 thats the whole graffiti, breakin', rappin thing took off. To understand what UK was listening to, look out for the Electro/Streetsounds compilations, that gives an indication musicwise what was happening. Streetsounds celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2022.
Shout out to Yo MTV Rapa. My gateway to hip hop too as a Brit. Seeing videos of Redman, Ice Cube, KRS, Cypress Hill would be special for me back in the day. Busta too. Nice to see Giggs knows his hip hop 👍🏾🇬🇧
All I remember is when Giggs first started making music, you couldn’t go through any part of South London without hearing his tunes blasting, he’s very loved over here I honestly think he has one of the nicest rap voices 🇬🇧❤
I'm looking forward to this. I have never rated Giggs, the flow and the sound, some cheesy bars when i have listened but he's so well respected amongst those I do rate like Akala, Kano, Mic Righteous, Lowkey that i have always known a time will come where I'll be ready to dive in again
Bro trust your instincts. If you don't rate him then that's what it is. This world has a way of feeding you shit until you eventually like it even if your soul rejected at first. Stay true to you. His bars are mad cheesy & I guarantee half of those guys you rate only respect him because they've had to meet him several times.
London posse, more notably Bionic was first one to come out with the ragga/ hip hop style in London! Sipho on the beatbox and bionic rapping. Hip hop been here from early in Covent Garden with all the breakdancers and body poppers.
Wether u fuck with Giggs or not, seeing him make it like this, continuing to open doors just makes you feel proud to be from London, especially if you been following the journey since Welcome 2 Boomzville days, He really deserves it 4real💯He's like everyones big brother whos been sent over there on a mission to conquer America & Hes the right man for the job😅 & hes one of the few people who never comes to interviews to try prove what he's done in the streets like most rappers do
You gotta smile when you see Giggs reach these hights. The Landlord himself. His story is by far the best of any Uk artist. His the real deal. The full 100. As certified on the roads as in the rap game. He paved the way for everyone that came after him. His the reason the UK went from being a grime nation to rap dominated. The police tried shut him down and so did mainstream media but he stayed true to him self and never switch anything. I know him personally & Ive chilled with him in the studio & ive been on stage with him a few time. His got mad energy, his actually down to earth any funny. I rate his achievements 👏🏾🙌🏾👌🏾
@gmain1977 try Marlon craft or ot the real. Papoose king los rj pain you should enjoy them 🙌 also try scouse rappers then if you can mazza L20. B.real wesavelli
I can officially say as someone from the U.K. we’re all proud of Giggs! Keep flying the flag!

Been saying we need a Drink Champs quickly 🔥
Gigg’s is hiphop historian.
Why wouldn’t you think that? Hip-hop fans are everywhere not just in the USA…

Hes in that age we grew up innit even if we didnt live in America
Giggs has hit legendary status. He’s up there with the best of em
He hit that in 07 my g 😂😭
@@peddles-wk9jpI was about to say. He’s been a legend. Godfather of the UK rap.
He’s been a legend for years and has surpassed his peers
Chiraq’s next in line SHAKESPEAR SHAKESPEAR SHAKESPEAR SHAKESPEAR comin stay tune!!
Always was legendary status took a mad black ball pause. from the industry and getting caught up with the roads and still timeless
Giggs is someone who made a massive impact to UK rap. Good to see him on this platform. Respect 🫡
Hollowman Giggs. Living Legend in this rap thing
You can say his style ain't for you but you can't say he sound like someone else, smooth raps, charisma and bars. One of a kind 😂
Facts. That’s Giggs!
Giggs is certi. He’s as real as they come. Humble as they come. Always stayed true to himself and his sound. Deserves nothing but respect. You don’t get on tracks with Drake, Jadakiss and Diddy if you aren’t highly rated. Glad he’s getting his flowers.
Even when he first did a track with Styles P and Cormega some of the people dem wasn’t listening
The landlord is the only person I’d trust to represent us over here in the UK 🇬🇧 a real legend
Can you let me know who is this guy? I've never heard of him
Can you recommend something from him please?
@@deadlyart02ard bodied, walk in the park, hollow meets blade, who said dat..all albums
I dunno about the only person. Potter and nines would defo represent us well
What about Dave?

I can’t believe they let them talk bout the five heartbeats for so long lol i wanted to hear more from Giggs
Trust me wtf 😂
That's why I'm in the comments now. There still talking about it 😂
I stepped away and came back, looked at how much time passed like wtf@@danielsevern845
Giggs had the UK in a choke hold from 2009 - 2013
And gained life long fans and supporters. I remember hwen the older kids in my area first played "UMMM" to me .... bro ..... shit was emotional i was like 14.
More like 07-011
Had streets on lock since hollow meets blade in 07..that when platinum in the streets
To know where giggs came from to where he is now is amazing to see. He deserves all the love
Sleepy voice
Glad to see some Legends chop it up. Big up Hollow man Giggs. And Big Sway & the Team
Jheeze Yes Giggs 🫡🇬🇧LONDON STAND UP
Giggs talking passionately about The 5 Heartbeats is one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Big up the Landlord 👊🏼
If that drinks champs interview happens Giggs knows that will be another legendary moment for him. Glad to see him on Sway. Winning differently 🏆
He has indeed, congratulations to Giggs and to those who are enjoying his success, he should feel really proud of himself

My guy knows 👊
WE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

When i moved to London UK from the ISlands, GIGGS got me 1 tme, I LOVE HIS MUSIC BIG UP GIGGS! CUT ABOVE THE REST!
Sway u connected well with Giggs much respect

Giggs is so calm and laidback and here comes Donnell Rawlings loud as a mf looool
I'm looking forward to this. I have never rated Giggs, the flow and the sound, some cheesy bars when i have listened but he's so well respected amongst those I do rate like Akala, Kano, Mic Righteous, Lowkey that i have always known a time will come where I'll be ready to dive in again
Listen to the landlord. The whole album is good
Bro trust your instincts. If you don't rate him then that's what it is. This world has a way of feeding you shit until you eventually like it even if your soul rejected at first. Stay true to you. His bars are mad cheesy & I guarantee half of those guys you rate only respect him because they've had to meet him several times.
Giggs is that guy!
He needs to make a tape like ard bodied again. Serious
If he did now.... Introducing that sound to Americans it would go crazyyyyyyyyy
