    The UK scene has the same love-hate relationship with Charlie that you are cultivating. Yes - he does obnoxiously scream down the mic every show but he is also the only DJ on the BBC who'd let Lowkey drop bars for 10 mins straight.

      But he could still do that without shouting, it's not like Lowkey needs a bomb dropping high-pitched shrieking hype man, if you just give him ten minutes on the mic it's already plenty hype enough. I respect him for the artists he gets and the freedom he gives them, but I don't think justifies him being an annoying twat, it would be perfectly possible to do one without the other.

    Crumpets are a yeast bread prepared over a griddle shaped in a ring mold and par cooked and then usually served toasted with butter. I would suggest the nearest American equivalent would be a toasted yeast pancake. Lowkey is a street hero he's amazing. He doesn't give an inch he's done so much even humanitarian work. He's not played on the radio he's literally done it himself he sells out venues we have so much talent here in the UK

    Man! Hey MrLboyd... Thank you for the considerate and informative analysis , your deep reaction to Wake Up by RATM most definitely wasn’t lost on me. I agree, holy wordsmith - Lowkey is definitely a genius lyricist, with global knowing, clean showing and not an ounce of egotistical callousness. His love for humanity is hopeful and refreshing, and his grace and clarity is thorough, profound, well researched and perfectionist. If anyone wants to learn more about colonialism and genocide of Australian Indigenous Peoples, read Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe for more on the untold history of evils... With that my bro, I just wanted you to know at 16:24 I choked while you spun, and at 29:17 my tears began to run. ❤️🌏💫 ✨🙏🏻

      God doesn't die that is one of the definitions of God. You can't ascribe a meaning to what suits you. He would not like this if he heard this. Im only saying this because believing or disbelieving in God is a life and death matter. You should take it seriously because IFs AND BUTs can be true, what if God does exist and because He knows us more than we know what's right, a person can say what they like to God but its won't work. Like a kid saying to his parents I know better than you in life matters, parents will be like we got you hear and we know you better no matter what you say. I hope you understand the correct belief is not taking risks and that is to believe in God Alone and not to associate anything with Him. You may say how do you know what is right. This is the straight path and makes sense compared to selective beliefs that create confusions. It's what makes sense and what the neutral mind finds true peace in without like I said confusion.

    .
    [Intro]
    You know what time it is when you hear this right
    ["Stillmatic" instrumental]
    Yeah, Fire in the Booth, much anticipated Part 2
    Hold tight suspense, listen
    If they don't let us dream then we won't let them sleep
    If they don't let us dream then we won't let them sleep
    Listen
    .
    [Verse - Alphabet Assassin Part 2]
    It's the zeitgeist, Zapatista, Zorro at his zenith
    Z of zinc in the zebra zig-zagging zealots
    Zilch to zombies and Zionists he's zen in his zodiac
    Fire in the booth? It's Zoroastrian the zone he's at
    Like yapping like Yokozuna in Yemen youtubing yoga
    Or Yokozuna in Yeovil yodelling in Yoruba
    They yelling your yardstick of yesteryear like Yeboah
    They're yearning, I'm yawning this like a yeti vs Yoda
    I’m an X-ray you're Xerox, I'm Xavier to the x-men
    Ex out xmas like your Xanax to an extent
    A wonderful world is waiting while weapons wage war we're weeping
    Who's winning? We're wishing well while wicked wizards webs were weaving
    They whip us 'til we're wheezing
    Our Words of wisdom won't weaken
    Witness these whatlass witless wallies waffling with their weekend
    Their wording is Wikipedia virtually void of vitals
    Verses visceral
    Vintage but vivid videos going viral
    I'm your uncle that understands
    Now it’s us with the upper hand
    We were underlings underrated unhuman to Uncle Sam
    The theory teaches that there are those thinking tactics to take the throne
    Though the truth tends to be told
    Through their thesaurus it takes its toll
    Slivering snakes stipulate systems to sell your soul
    Secretly seek social stratification set in stone
    Regiments ravaged the region now its ripe for reparations
    Rendered refugees can't retract or repair ramifications
    On a quest to quash the quarrels I’m quintessentially qualified
    Quitters quake the quality of my quotes can't quite be quantified
    People pass prematurely and pay the price for passivity
    Pretext to pillage, plunder prepare to prolong proximity
    A puppets pathology pulverized by these possibilities
    People power is potent and the peak of positivity
    Oligarchs ostracise others offer obituaries
    Overall I overstand the odyssey optimistically
    The norms of a nascent nation should never negate nature
    Nasty as nefarious neo-con naysayers for neighbours
    This masterful maverick mic man, will make you meet your maker
    Meanwhile merciless mercenaries manoeuvre to meet to the majors
    Lyrically lacklustre literally lack love
    Lust living lavish in luxury listeners lap up
    A kaleidoscope of kindness, knowledge, knuckles and kerosene
    To kill the kleptocracy and cool the kettle that they kept us in
    Jabbing javelins at jingoism
    Jealousy justified when jeering at jobless is journalism
    Information industry interlinked with infantry
    Instrumentalise identity implant ignorance instantly
    Hackers in handcuffs, harvesters of hatred hand gliding
    Harbingers of harassment harbour harmful handwriting
    Gangsters of globalisation glorify glitz and the glam
    Give us guidance to the graveyard they got the gift of the gab
    It's flawless how they fabricate the folklore of the fiefdom
    Funnell funds to freelance fighters and fawn over fights for freedom
    Entertainment is education, empathy is eccentric
    Economics everything, exploitation an epidemic
    Exhausting environment is easy but the dividends are deadly
    Don't dare dream of doing different dread our destruction is definitely
    Coming as the catalysts clamour for capital
    Can't counteract the cycle this catastrophe could cancel all
    Bring borders to bear bombarded with the broken
    Basically bribery beckons business we are beholden
    Though accurate answers to all of the above aren't available
    I attack the alphabet again and aced it just to aim at you
    They say anything is attainable
    Attack the alphabet again and ace (it just to aim at you)

      How can I do a fire in the booth, when I'm trying just to maintain
      And since June don't hear the word fire in the same way
      Heard screams, splutters and them gasping for air
      That’s not bars in a booth it’s so hard to compare
      If I use fire as metaphor
      Does that disrespect the people that are never more?
      How does that bomb sound sound to those that bled in war that we never saw?
      Remember when they settled scores with metal swords like Skeletor
      Chinese made gun powder, Nobel invented dynamite
      They say the guilt in his mind compelled him to design the prize
      We know what Einstein's mind was like
      How many geniuses we never knew that were deprived of life?
      I can't philosophise on horrifying flames
      We don’t have to apologise or qualify our pain
      Degrenfellise our loved ones of the colonisers name
      Should we let the corporate media lobotomise our brains
      You are beautiful, no matter how this life disfigures you
      You’re beautiful even if that image you emulate isn't you
      I don’t know if history is linear or cyclical
      But know I’m ridiculed for making invisibles visible
      That's why Plato said banish poets from the republic
      ‘Cause they know that we can shake the social system and disrupt it
      The land of liberty, they tell us leave it or lump it
      When Trump comes to the country we hope he chokes on his crumpet
      Before we sink in the ocean, consider this as an omen
      Natures blessings aren't ours just ‘cause we think that we own them
      Never think that you're broken, or think that you're no-one
      Remember a rope is strong because of strings interwoven
      Would they love you more if you mock the people that you're from
      Self-orientalise and believe that you belong
      Overcompensate and propagate the image of the imbecile
      Not uninvolved though you're further from the killing field
      Take solace in the fact there's always cracks in the monolith
      Now we're practically lobbing bricks like Asterix and Obelix
      Distracted with gossip it's twisted news an interlude to adverts no hidden truths to listen to it's pitiful
      Rosa Luxemburg gave us this simple truth
      You won't feel your chains till the day you begin to move
      He photographed a corpse and they flung him in the cage
      Those that signed off on the cladding are still receiving their wage
      Helicopters hovered close, pictures for the front page
      Tried to speak all I really felt deep was numb rage
      How could they see this pain at such a young age
      Leaning out the window, screaming for help but none came
      If it bleeds it leads, trauma tourists they gravitate
      Shock doctrine in effect, disaster capitalists salivate
      Privitisation, deregulation and austerity
      To zero hour contracts, exploitation and precarity
      Adults didn't make it, children to be fostered
      Saved pennies on the block, dropped 20 million on the opera
      We see through your cold plans, your programme is done
      We don't want a Prime Minister that holds hands with Trump
      We don't want DJs doing shows on military compounds
      Can't trivialise fire or hear any more bomb sounds
      How can I smile when I know the remains are still not found
      And echoing in my mind is exactly how the sobs sound
      They say we're criminals for the syllables and stanzas
      When they subsidise the killers tools, the pillagers and bankers
      Who are the engines of history, people like me and you
      Who got massacred for the right to vote at Peterloo
      It was imagineers, the poets and the artists
      The miners, Tolpuddle Martyrs, William Cuffay and the chartists
      Rebel and resist even through something small
      Create windows with words and mirrors where once were walls
      Manure contributes to the beauty of a rose
      Why can't we accept our pain as something that helps us grow
      They wonder why songs that make you cry are more moving
      ‘Cause crying's the only thing that we were born doing
      They tell us tea is tradition to the English
      When I look around this island not a tea plantation in it
      Earl Gray gave 20 million to the slave traders
      Multi-polar world now the Indians are space raiders
      Freedom to be even or merely alienate labour
      Freedom for fossil fuellers to desecrate and invade nature
      Albert was an immigrant, Prince Phillip is an immigrant
      Were the Celts, Normans and the Anglo-Saxons English, then?
      The words Sugar, Cotton and Rice come from Arabic
      Now we import democracy to civilise the Saracens
      Analysing planets when this back water was wilderness
      It seems we're still obsessed with immortality like Gilgamesh
      Pessimism of intellect, optimism of will
      Wear the skin of their victims its syndrome buffalo bill
      In times of permanent war there is always someone to kill
      But when life and death are virtual almost nothing is real
      They got my snapshots in a padlocked box
      Settle with the heavy metal this is rap not rock
      It's fire in the booth but man's not hot
      I just got genius bars like a laptop shop
      They wanna know if I've got a flow, or I'm gonna blow
      Back like Geronimo Pratt let's rock ‘n roll
      I never sold my soul for a pot of gold
      Now feel this scholar’s solid knowledge in your collar bone
      Subject of propaganda, that terrifies the slumbered
      But the albums still sell you can verify the numbers
      Collectivise or die, protect your mind or suffer
      Life is paradise to some and a pair of dice to others
      While these twittering teens, are sinking in screens and thinking in memes
      They blink and this machine is pimping their dreams
      I think it’s obscene, as sick as it seems
      They don’t know what lyrical invincibility means
      Barge through for part 2, I can't lose
      Labels astroturfing trying to make it look grass roots
      Gone are the days we sold our CDs from the car boot
      A sharpshooter shooting harpoons through your chart tunes
      I saw pain in the eyes of a tired retired fire man
      Knowing he couldn't save a child survive the frying pan
      When we riot we disquiet the leviathan
      Forget iron man I got an iron lion’s diaphragm
      My salutation to those with imagination
      Most anticipated and that's no exaggeration
      The flag doesn't exist let me back up that statement
      What happens to the nation, if the Queen has a tax haven?
      What's commonsensical is sensible to question
      What seems to be a lesson is intellectual repression
      Say the ting goes… as expression of aggression
      Remember there are two victims on either side of the weapon
      We won’t let ‘em sleep
      If they don't let us dream, then we won't let them sleep
      If they don't let us dream, then we won't let them sleep...
      Listen, check it

      Power to those that hold their ground
      Power to those that persevere
      Power to those that love humanity more than they love style
      Power to immigrants that’s probably raising Donald Trump's child

      Power to those staring at the moon and all those working night shifts
      Power to readers, the writers, the illiterate
      Power to those that struggle to decolonise their syllabus
      Power to the shy ones that always struggled to make friends
      And to the half of humanity worth less than 8 men
      Power to those that risked their lives to dig the coltan from the ground
      For the mic I’m spitting on and the phone you’re holding now
      Power to those that built the stadium they're playing in
      Power to those that mowed the grass and the stitched the ball that their playing with
      Every rapper that doesn’t rap about killing
      Power to the builders who build buildings that outlived them
      Power to the slaves of ancient Greece that never had the right to vote
      Democracy dead like Gary Webbe when they import it like it’s coke

      Power to Curtis Mayfield, power to Ronald Isley
      Power to the fishermen that were forced into piracy
      Power for every person that is working in a library
      Power to every nurse that we turn to in our times of need

      Power to those that drive the buses and those that collect the rubbish
      Power to the youth desiring the truth
      Power for every rapper that is dying for a fire in the booth
      For those that lost limbs to King Leopold's quota
      And those risking their lives for the P&O to Dover
      Power to union leaders murdered by...

      Power to those dying on the shores and the borders
      Power to human beings that were rendered fauna and flora
      Power to those that clean up after the stage shows
      And carnival goers haunted by Kelso Colchrane's ghost
      Power to Kevin Carter his picture taunts us ever after
      So many questions never answered....

      They killed his brother Jafar and he cursed the rotten Thamesians
      Enlightened despots pursuing tactics Machiavellian

      On precipice of fascism our passiveness is cancerous
      Power to those strong enough to dream

      Power to Aziz Ali and Bone Thugs and Harmony
      Power to Norman Baker, David Kelly's ulnar artery
      Power to the genocided population of Tasmania
      The internet descends to Trumptastic fantasia
      Let them try quote this, you'll never find a better diagnosis than collective psychosis
      It’s getting quite hopeless but hope is all we have
      Trying cultivate the positive not focus on the bad
      But the globe’s under attack
      The obnoxious rage of a fake intellectual
      Amazing Grace in the age of the spectacle
      Not the first time they found a racist electable
      To raise to the pedestal and desecrate the place that translated the decimal
      I don't want to tempt fate
      Power to corpse washers like Salvador Allende
      Power to language learners from Bernie Sanders fans to flag burners
      One man's inertia is another man's purpose
      In utopia of song we are victorious
      But the bitter sweet reality's not this glorious
      Power to Coltrane watching Malcolm X
      Power to Paul Robeson under house arrest
      Power to Galileo under house arrest
      Power to Ibn Haytham under house arrest
      Forgive me if I sound obsessed
      Forgive me if I sound depressed
      Believe me that's not how it's meant
      They probably thought I couldn't come back and kill the alphabet
      ¡El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido!

    I think I watched a only a few of your Harry Mack Reactions and 2-3 other videos and recently decided to subscribe to see if you ever get to Lowkey bc I was sure you would appreciate his overall artistry and contribution to HH community...
    his delivery, lyricism, his cadence ranges, his wittiness with double/triple entendres , his storytelling, vocabulary....etc
    Definite next is FITB 1.... Doubt you will be able to catch 100% of the words listening first time... so there is a video version with lyrics
    and
    200 Bars of Power

They are a hip hop group out of Buffalo NY and they bring that 90s New York boom bap HIP HOP feel to their music while keeping shit fresh and modern, plus they actually lived the life that they rap about. I think you'd have no complaints, sir.

    The flag issue, I can explain it simply put Americans are brainwashed from birth into defending that flag at all times, I won't get to deep into it as I don't want to cause any issue with people, plus as you say it perfectly freedom of speech/expression, everyone is free to express themselves.
