    I'm white so it's not hitting me on a personal level but I swear Dave is one of the only artists these days who can convey a message that relates to so many people and I've been watching you for a while and I've never seen this much emotion from you Levi like even in your eyes while watching the vid... Dave's a legend for this one.

    I’m white but that doesn’t mean this song hasn’t taught me a lot about issues like cultural appropriation, black stereotypes, and how black people are perceived in the media. This is an extremely powerful song that needs to be heard and understood amongst all ethnicities. I really enjoyed your analysis of the song.

  • @kdot2513
    @kdot2513 5 років тому +58

    You can tell Dave is more about the music than he is the money. He could easily put out songs every 2-3 weeks but instead he puts time in to perfecting every track, quality over quantity and it really pays off in terms of how respected and successful he is. Thats why he’s imo the best UK artist right now, a real one who’s going places. 👑

    I'm late but I just discovered Dave as an artist, & this song, & not gonna lie, it brought me to tears. I'm 50 years old & I guess I didn't know, never realized just how much pain I had been carrying around, especially with current events here in the US. I could see the look on your face with certain lines & I FELT that, in my heart as well.
    Dave is now one of my favorite artists & I'm discovering UK/world music & I'm loving it. Thank you for sharing.

      I discovered dave about 7 months ago. Do a deep dive on his music and life. From freestyles and mixtapes. To upbringing and family. The intelligence, moral standard, talent, credibility, loyalty, etc...is through the roof. And this from a youngman who didn't have his father. It's damn near unbelievable.

      It's already mainstream...
      Social media is an especially influential platform for outreach. Music like Dave's doesn't demand recognition from media conglomerates to start a contemplative discourse about these issues. This video is a testament to that.

    Your analysis is spot on throughout & is really easy to get your head around.
    I truly believe that this song should be studied as part of the curriculum in schools everywhere, as it's probably one of the most powerful songs ever written, that tackles the subject of racism.
    And, if anyone's wondering, I'm a white bloke, living in the UK.

I am female, white, Irish......personally it doesn't apply.....but damn it hit hard!!!! The fact this Is a 21yr old man gives me hope for my own children, for the future of this world ......this world is nuts&as we watch America burn over the murder of George Floyd it hits harder again....i was so proud to see Dave perform this on such a huge stage as the brits& adding the verse about jack merrett into it💖 again the history doesn't personally apply, but on whole I pray we have more youth like this, the worlds screwed up....on this tiny island I live in& at 30yrs old&female there are STILL areas of my own land I couldn't walk freely in if I wanted to because of my accent ...my religion. Thanks to the king crown & UK government our country has seen centuries of civil war....about time they're called out on a whole, commonwealth all that BS, they invaded lands&destroyed generations.....this shit has got to stop💔💔💔 this song has brought me to tears every time I play it.....all I can pray is my son is half the man this young man is&forever walks in truth no matter what others think of him!!!

      Love your Material. I’m Col and white, 44 years old and all I listen to is hip hop and grime and love the values and music and understand the struggles that you went through and feel resentful that this happened for generations and is still happening. Please know from deep within I have the upmost respect and understanding of your music and what is represents. I love it and consume it daily and thank you for that and all the influential black people that make a difference in the world past and present and the ones struggling due to the system that constrains development. Peace to all and hope to future change.
      Col.
