The part where General Levy stepped up to the mic is absolutely one of the most iconic moments in the history of British music. Almost every person in this country has heard Jungle is Massive.
dizzzee rascal crashed this freestyle, he was driving his car and heard his friends in the radio and had to pull up to the studio. that's why they got hyped when he entered, because it wasn't planned
Wtf.??? I'm an American. I love dnb. I love dnb mcs. I love grime, UK drill etc.. I've listened to this mix soooo many times. I've NEVER heard this before! This gets me even more hyped! Gives me an entire different take! Thank you for this comment!,!
This energy in the room is also 20 years of these man doing this together. This is what grime is all about. A group of people jump on the mic and either have a good time while seeing who is the best
Honestly, from Junglist Massive, to Boy in the Corner, to Thats Not Me, to Man Dont Care, Hypest Hype, Rari Workout... A real discography of carrying a genre here. BBK the real ones.
The reason they are so in sync when it comes to bars is because these are bars from their most well known songs. Also many of them are members of Boy Better Know (BBK). So at the start from right to left: JME with the durag Lethal Bizzle in the middle Tempa T with the vest. Then Skepta came in (who is JME’s brother) Then the guy with dreads and black hat in the middle is Jammer. 20:00 is Dizzee Rascal
The main reason these guys are so in sync is because spitting in huge groups like this is how they came up - they spit on pirate radio grime sets clashing with other MCs every week. They developed great, unique cadences and memorable bars to stick out on the radio and they developed their style and fan base like this.
its also worth noting that pretty much all these guys were spitting bars togther before grime was a known thing - ua-cam.com/video/1QMtflre3No/v-deo.html
we appreciate you guys actually listening to our suggestions consistently and getting involved in the UK scene❤ you 2 deserve a lot more than 50k. soon come hopefully.
When General Levy does "Incredible", you dont understand..... It's like an anthem for the UK, especially those growing up in the 90s going to clubs listening to early jungle, early rave, early dnb, early ragga, early garage, early house. It was a time when SO MUCH was born from, and all those guys around Levy, grew up in those clubs hearing that track. On top of that i think it's fair to say that MANY of us, (me included) knew the song for so long and loved but, but then seeing him perform it AND REALISING HE MAKES THAT SOUND WITH HIS MOUTH?!! Ok yeah some knew, but lots of us thought it was added in, but he MAKES it live, is fucking insane. That all of these things contributed to such love and sentimental-ness for this. That's why the guys around show so much love. Song legendary, and Levy legendary.
as a uk native i love how hyped you guys are at this set. its not just one the most hype videos in grime but one of the most hype videos in music period. this set never fails to get me amped up!
The reason the seasoned UK rappers flow so effortless on any beat is cos most have literally done their 10,000 hours. Back in the 2000's most of these guys were on illegal pirate radio and would spit bars back to back every week. So most ppl know their catchphrases and popular bars. Like every mc has his trademark bars so when they spit them everyone joins in
The guy who joined in and it was the “thats not me” was skepta, and JME was the one with the durag that gave him the headphones, it’s both their song he was doing Skepta ft. JME “that’s not me”
Dizzee got the Flow to make a Boy Wile Out. Six foot deep, you could never climb out, knock a boy inside, knock a boy out. Sorry, the last four words of your comment were the setup bar that Dizzee used to use for that grouping
You see when the General steps in that booth, that was actual history. Even all the top British artists in that booth got their phones out, because they where struck. Levy is the actual GOAT.
ffs i had to comment. this was so legendary featuring nothing but legends. was like seeing a set from a rave u didnt go to. they sync cause they all known each other since early 2000s and all of them were pionners in their own way. being in their age group this is the calibre of music i miss listening to so much. n general levy at the end is like an og to all these coming in the generation before them and his tune was so big it was unreal, i had it on tape cassette back from radio recording in the mid 90s. this got me so pumped
Was extremely hyped when I watched the video only my own now I’m even more hyped watching it with you guys. !!! It makes the video 100 times better the fact they don’t know who is who 😂😂😂
In order: Lethal Bizzle(Blue & white T-shirt), JME(with rag & cap) , Tempa T (in the black vest), Skepta(first tagged in) , Jammer (boy better know cap),Dizzie Rascal (cap back to front, shabba t-shirt), Footsy (white t-shirt & cap), Fekky (long sleeve white t-shirt),,, last but not least General Levy (ABSOLUTE F**King GOAT)
Absolutely had to give this a thumbs up! I've been on a spontaneous binge today after stumbling upon this channel, just diving deep into UK artists. We all know how legendary they are, and it’s clear this video and cypher are next level! It’s amazing to see fans from different countries and scenes appreciating this video and these artists just as much as we do after all these years. Wheel up da ting! ⏺️😂
When I die, ‘Incredible’ is my funeral tune❤ No contest. Just utterly brilliant watching those enormous smiles break out over your faces when you hear this stuff that we have loved for decades! What an absolute joy! Thank you SO much for your content.
The reason they are all so in sinc is because they been rapping together for like 20 years.. and this group especially are really close so they'll know eachothers bars over the years. Legends!
this 60min is one of the most legendary things ever in the grime scene, came right at the time people where saying grime was dead, they proved all dem wrong with this. absolute hype.
I love watching your videos so much!! Everybody out here in the UK experienced exactly the same excitement you're feeling now when this stuff first came out. These videos genuinely make it feel as exciting as when you're sitting with your mates and getting pumped the first time you watch it. Keep it up with UK stuff and we'll keep watching
Incredible- general levy Is the iconic tune you requested. It’s in the style of jungle, a truly UK sound that evolved from the Jamaican dancehall culture of the early 90s. Very different style but soooo iconic. One of my fav genres
The reason they all know each others bars is because they was all rapping with each other back to back for years on pirate radio station before they all blew up. A lot of the bars they were spitting were from way back in the day.
@@goldenduck854 more then that I'm 39 I was listening to Wiley and Dizzee Rascal when I was 15 or 16. Pay as You go cartel, Heartless crew then Nasty crew after. The good old days. And it was probably so solid crew before all of them.
Also I’m not sure if anyone’s said this yet but in the UK, man usually have iconic or well known verses and bars they hop into which is how everyone else is able to join in
I'm so happy you found this Gem haha! Love finding your channel me and my mates always put this on when we have a drinking session also I think General Levy is the best example of the Jamaican influence on british music, and he's highly respected in his scene
This is Grimey shit, England and the streets will never forget Grime back in the early 2000s im 30 and i grew up to this and still hypes me up now💪🏻💪🏽💪🏿
Guys your reactions did this Legendary set justice! as someone that grew up listening to all these guys this set is up there as one of the best ever in UK music
This is the type of energy you get on any 60 minute set and n pirate radio or at a rave 🔥🔥 most of the OGs started in pirate radio The confusion of who’s who had me in stitches tho 😂😂
Found your channel what feels like a few minutes ago, but turns out I’ve been sat here for hours watching these UK reactions. LOVING IT! Love seeing our stuff getting enjoyed across the pond ❤️ keep up the class work lads!
Having watched this 60 minutes (22 minutes) 100s of times, you man are hyped AF 5 minutes in. Knowing what's coming up it's 100% gonna be a lit reaction vid 🔥🔥🔥
I used to be in a rap crew with like 8 members and we hung around almost every day. Everyone knew the lyrics of each other and anyone could adlib anyone on any beat to support. That is one thing that is great about being a crew like that. We freestyled over beats for days, often the same verses, to see how they go in a different cadence. That adds up to insane practice on any tempo or any vibe. So when a cypher like this happens you can jump in at any time if you feel it. You just gotta give a signal that you want a turn. In the video you can see them shoulder tapping each other and passing on the headphones etc. If you are really into rapping that is all you do and doing this is easy while impressive to others and there is a chance you surprise yourself with a fresh performance of old written bars.
Absolutely love you guys reactions, recently discovered your channel. Keep up the great content showcasing our great UK artists. Respect from North West England 👏
MASSIVE congrats for your 50 + subs, you're defo honorary part of the UK mandem, been wicked to see you grow from the get go!!! Think we've all mentioned that so many musical genres have been UK created over the decades SO the mighty General Levy had big hits back in the 90s. Coming from Ragga, Drum n' Bass, Jungle & Dubstep & of course Grime... I mean there are SO many genres that we created that America rarely decided to open its doors to, unfortunately for those there that love really great music & the talent that goes with it. It's brilliant that now, thanks to your channel & others Americans are able to learn a bit more about it. We're known to be open to any underground scene so much so that when the Detroit Techno & Chicago House guys weren't feeling the love in the States they came here to work & collaborate as our scene was massive & our deep respect for what they were creating blew their minds. They couldn't believe what they were experiencing here with our mad raves & musical dedication without bias. One day a selection of 1 track from these uniquely UK genres with your reactions would be amazing!! UK Acid House Drum n' Bass Jungle Dub Step Trip Hop UK Garage Acid Jazz
Great video! The General is the God Father of the UK urban scene. Influenced UK grimme, drum and bass, ragga and countless others. I have no idea why he hasn’t received a knighthood for his contribution to making urban music by far the most popular music in the UK
It's really hard to understate just how much of a micrososm this is of British music. You have nearly 30 years (now) worth of music from the originals like The General, but also Bizzle Dizzy and Skepta, but the younger guys like JME as well. This might be one of the shining points of English music, let alone none-white posh guys. Cultural cornerstone, and a showcase of true legends.
Great reaction! ❤ Got all the guys completely mixed up tho - I was laughing so much at the confidence you had correcting him like ‘nah that’s not JMD that’s Skepta’ 🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣🤣👍🏾 Love the energy still
I am in England and that was so much fun watching your reactions and enjoyment ha! Welcome to our world - music and tracks of my youth 😁. As General Levy says: "Incredible!"
General Levy and Mista Jam are two of the true UK Jungle goats. Incredible used to blow the roof off warehouse back in 88 then hit the charts in 89 and it is still an absolute banger today. Jungle Is Massive 💯
You don't hear much from Levy now as he is 52, he is however still very much musically active, albeit for himself rather than the fame these days. You can find all his official and bootleg releases on his official channel @generallevy1
@@bd2691 Yeah yeah I know, I was part of the Jungle scene. However he says both. It's a play on words and always has been. It is indeed Junglist Massive as a call out to all the Jungle heads but also a statement, Jungle is (was then) massive.
This was great to watch! This is the music of my teens 😅 when you hear general play in the club, you know the energy is about to hit a whole new level 😄🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This one has to be my favourite reaction from you guys 🔥🔥 so glad you got to see some of the pioneers of the grime scene and then to top it off with General Levy who is someone they would of all looked up to and listened to growing up was amazing!!! Big up the UK scene 🇬🇧
Congrats on the 50k!! Its barely 8am but you got me listening to the most hype grime set lol! Yea in Grime sets youll often hear the same bars but put to different beats, also the sing along lines to get ppl hyped. The song with General Levy at the end is a classic Jungle tune, 30 years still going strong!
Soo many legends in this and the way they’re able to bounce off each other cause the songs their singing are classics so everyone knows the lyrics.. honestly general levy does some banging remixes of new tunes to this day proper bangers should check some out
Love the way you get into the vibe on all the listens....even when you have no idea, who's who or what they're bubbling 😂 enjoying all these sets again with a smile on my face. Bless up.
I stumbled across your channel and I can’t stop watching your reactions to the UK music scene. This BBC 1 Extra freestyle is epic with some of the OGs of the UK Grime, Drum and Bass, and Jungle music. First 3 people- Lethal Bizzle white top blue sleeves, JME wearing the durag, Tempa T with the black vest top. Then enters, Skepta (JMEs brother) with the black cap, then Jammer with the black T and Boy Better Know (BBK) cap, then Dizzee Rascal black T with yellow writing, then Footsie white T black cap, then Fekky white T with handwriting, then General Levy with the long dreads and MistaJam on the decks. All these guys have been battling and making cyphers for years and most of the have been or are still part of BBK.
Stratford Rex in the early 2000’s/late 90’s was insane according to my older siblings and cousins also other cyphers, events and shows used to get shut down bc of how crazy the events were back the day
Hilarious hearing the misnaming as they are our bread and butter overr here but qudos on the attention to our boys. 👌🏻 Grear watching on a friday with a drink.
21:34 you mention how in sync they are. It's how grime started, they all used to do pirate radio sets each week back in the early 00s. Hard to think when not from UK that most of them lived within 20 miles of each other in and around London
Yes team beers, we got 30 yrs of this for y’all to listen too. While hip hop was a dominant sound on your side of the pond, the UK was embracing technology mixed with roots, reggae, toasting, breakbeat et al that crated a counter culture unparalleled by no one. The result - jungle, drum n bass, grime, uk garage, drill, hard house and every derivative of ¾, 2/4, 4/4, syncopation, off beat you can imagine. We’ve so much music from 1990-2023 that the world doesn’t know about that’s finally getting acknowledged is surreal. Believe me you’re gonna go on a journey that will blow your mind !! And the most positive aspect of that 30 yr period was the breakdown of racial barriers - music has unparalleled power of us common folk and it will never be beaten, ever!!!
The part where General Levy stepped up to the mic is absolutely one of the most iconic moments in the history of British music. Almost every person in this country has heard Jungle is Massive.
*Junglist massive Lol.. it’s actually called Incredible as well
So iconic it made it to the BBC’s “showreel” to celebrate its 100th birthday. Amazing.
So iconic that you don't know it's Junglist Massive and the track is Incredible?
Junglist checking in from Canada. I am disappointed.
Why does tarzan keep getting lost?
Because JUNGLIST MASSIVE! 😂
I thought I sensed a disturbance in the force...
cracking me up at you guys correcting each other on who is who, yet it's never right lmao. love the reaction

You don't hear much from Levy now as he is 52, he is however still very much musically active, albeit for himself rather than the fame these days. You can find all his official and bootleg releases on his official channel @generallevy1
Junglist Massive* Lol
@@bd2691 Yeah yeah I know, I was part of the Jungle scene. However he says both. It's a play on words and always has been. It is indeed Junglist Massive as a call out to all the Jungle heads but also a statement, Jungle is (was then) massive.
? This was out in 94. Where are you getting 89 from?
This was great to watch! This is the music of my teens 😅 when you hear general play in the club, you know the energy is about to hit a whole new level 😄🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This one has to be my favourite reaction from you guys 🔥🔥 so glad you got to see some of the pioneers of the grime scene and then to top it off with General Levy who is someone they would of all looked up to and listened to growing up was amazing!!! Big up the UK scene 🇬🇧
Congrats on the 50k!! Its barely 8am but you got me listening to the most hype grime set lol!
Yea in Grime sets youll often hear the same bars but put to different beats, also the sing along lines to get ppl hyped. The song with General Levy at the end is a classic Jungle tune, 30 years still going strong!
Hahaha time to wake up✌️🍻
Jungle is Massive is now 30xyearscold, but still sounds fresh AF and General Levy is still killing it !
One of the greatest sets of all time in any genre, if not the best. Legendary
It's one of those videos you come back to every two months and kick off a UK grime binge for a few days on
You need to do the drum and bass fire in the booth special.
RIP skibba, killed it as always.
B2B over D&B with 7-8 mc's going off
Please do the d n b vs UKG 1xtra you got grime mcs doing d n b beats and d n b mcs doing grime beats
RIP Skibadee. The Don!
I asked this about 3 times😂

This one of my favourite videos that exist on anything. So glad people are reacting to this!
Fantastic yes to heat this reload. The kings of da UK.
Soo many legends in this and the way they’re able to bounce off each other cause the songs their singing are classics so everyone knows the lyrics.. honestly general levy does some banging remixes of new tunes to this day proper bangers should check some out
Incredible was the first jungle track to get into the top 10 in the uk general levy leaving a legacy 🔥
General levy... epic. INCREDIBLLEEEEE
This era of grime, they're all at the top of the game. They're all buddies they know each others and their bars
Love the way you get into the vibe on all the listens....even when you have no idea, who's who or what they're bubbling 😂 enjoying all these sets again with a smile on my face. Bless up.
This should have a million views maynee
General Levy is from generation. Jungle music was really big when i was in high school, which we call "secondary school", here in Britain
What a reaction boys! Was so hyped to see you both buzzing from the grime culture!!
Today is deep day for me today but this came up and its smiles all round. Bless for this 😎👊👍👌✌
Head up!!!🍻
I stumbled across your channel and I can’t stop watching your reactions to the UK music scene. This BBC 1 Extra freestyle is epic with some of the OGs of the UK Grime, Drum and Bass, and Jungle music. First 3 people- Lethal Bizzle white top blue sleeves, JME wearing the durag, Tempa T with the black vest top. Then enters, Skepta (JMEs brother) with the black cap, then Jammer with the black T and Boy Better Know (BBK) cap, then Dizzee Rascal black T with yellow writing, then Footsie white T black cap, then Fekky white T with handwriting, then General Levy with the long dreads and MistaJam on the decks.
All these guys have been battling and making cyphers for years and most of the have been or are still part of BBK.
Welcome to the Buzz Fam ✌️🍻
Stratford Rex in the early 2000’s/late 90’s was insane according to my older siblings and cousins also other cyphers, events and shows used to get shut down bc of how crazy the events were back the day
Congrats! Keep up the great reactions 🍻
First three were tempa t, lethal bizzle and jme. Skepta took the headphones from jme
Dude in Shabba Ranks T-shirt is Dizzy Rascal 😉
Hilarious hearing the misnaming as they are our bread and butter overr here but qudos on the attention to our boys. 👌🏻
Grear watching on a friday with a drink.
Just found your channel! Love your content.. keep it coming. Puts a smile to my face every time.
Welcome to the Buzz Fam ✌️🍻
21:34 you mention how in sync they are. It's how grime started, they all used to do pirate radio sets each week back in the early 00s. Hard to think when not from UK that most of them lived within 20 miles of each other in and around London
i wish you understood how legendary this video is lol having them all in one room
General Levy is a king. Bow down
Yes team beers, we got 30 yrs of this for y’all to listen too. While hip hop was a dominant sound on your side of the pond, the UK was embracing technology mixed with roots, reggae, toasting, breakbeat et al that crated a counter culture unparalleled by no one.
The result - jungle, drum n bass, grime, uk garage, drill, hard house and every derivative of ¾, 2/4, 4/4, syncopation, off beat you can imagine. We’ve so much music from 1990-2023 that the world doesn’t know about that’s finally getting acknowledged is surreal. Believe me you’re gonna go on a journey that will blow your mind !!
And the most positive aspect of that 30 yr period was the breakdown of racial barriers - music has unparalleled power of us common folk and it will never be beaten, ever!!!
Fast Fwd 2002 - Drum n Bass has grown up, and started to travel.
