Akala was the highlight of the whole FITB. Loved the fact he came with mature meaningful bars and great flow, and was then followed by rappers just saying the same old shit. Akala is the greatest UK rapper by a long way, deserves to be up there with the all time greats
Not a big fan of lowkey, some of his stuff I dont really agree with. Also as a rapper I find he style a bit boring, I can only listen to a few tracks and I have to change to someone else. Akala experiments with different style and his flow is insane. Lowkey is good, but for me he lacks that magic
Its difficult to stand listening to the radio when you've experienced music and talent like this... Its unbelievable. He covers just as much or even more in 5mins than what I've learnt in first term in uni.
@Matthew Henderson nope. It's easy to argue politics with Akala as they have nothing to say except play victim and just sit in an echo chamber. Tommy Robinson isnt stabbing kids in London ever day or raping kids in Rotherham is he?
Anthony no he is just in prison for nearly causing a miscarriage of justice and letting rapists go free. London has had Gangs and gang violence for centuries and there has always been indicators that show the cause.
@@AnthonyShuker Glasgow has a knife crime equal or greater to that of London based on % and it isn't black youths doing it in scotland. I mean I'm just paraphrasing something akala has said numerous times much more eloquently than me, just watch his Jon snow interview on knife crime or the one he does with piers Morgan on the same topic as he goes into more points than I can and in a better way. Just listen, it's easy.
Stormzy walking around going through his phone trying to look for lyrics and spits nothing. Akala comes out let's his mind speak out, that's a real MC.
I've seen people calling Bugzy Malone, Skepta, Ghetts and others the best in the UK but personally, they don't come close to artists like Akala & Mic Righteous.
Lowkey is in my top 3 alongside Mic Righteous and Akala. And Immortal Technique isn't from the UK man lol. But I'm a big fan (I even met him back in 2012 at his show).
+MrMidgetman3 I don't know much about Lowkey or Mic Righteous, but the thing about Akala is while he is a great rapper with great flow and lyricism, his songs aren't all that hot beyond the rapping, right? Skepta's gotta be up there though for me. The way he delivered Nasty... So much conviction in it... Better than Akala's verse on the beat in this cypher imo.
Soon as I heard stormzy get the best reaction for talking about a selfie, I knew I had to find this. Big up Akala as always n thanks to the uploader for cutting out the shit.
"I've got more rhymes than a Chinese got dollars, you won't get that line 'cos you're not scholars. So which MC can touch mine? Who done off the EDL guy with one line?"
Lol but to be fair this was the first I heard of her in this cypher and she was pretty good though in terms of flow and punchlines. The only thing I dislike is she seems like a rip off of other female rappers like Lady of Rage and Lil Kim because rather than saying anything original she's just talking about sex and money and being a gangsta hoe
I'll say it again, Akala is EXTREMELY underrated compared to what kids listen to nowadays, then again would they be able to comprehend what he's talking about..
They should listen to Akala over other grime artists. If they can even comprehend a fraction of what he is saying they would have increased their intelligence
It's not for youngins unless they're hungry for knowledge... "I never heard that word/name/place before~ let me look it up" type bars. Akala will even have to 30+ year old heads researching shit 🙃
The thing is with Akala is that he is one o the most truthful real and best grime rappers out there nowdays that he could just easily rip u a new one and turn into a demon in mid sentence he's that good but the guy is more than that he's a blody prophet in some kind another. I think he demonstrates a part of his ability to rip these ass hole rappers a new one as well, its great I think he is even commenting on some of the other rappers in the room. But discreetly obviously. What a blody legend him and Lowkey are the two real MC's of modern grime and that's the truth.
Thank you for this. Having to skip those other imitators would of been difficult. Is that ghetts fella wearing a bullet proof vest and a backpack? what an absolute joke of a human.
dnt get it twisted bruv, ghetto is hard as fuck, but lets be real it's been time since artillery or fuck radio, literally cannot name any of his recent songs, hes not been gd since calm before the storm, he's fallen off in a big way darg but 2000 & life stil hard af, n he went hard on the cypher i werent talkin bout his lyrical content but my man looks like he's bout to blown up a train stil
Knowledge is power! I was gna cut that up as well. Cheers u saved me the job! in my eyes the best part of the cypher by far! Well chuffed when he did the first bars this Geezas on another planet to the rest of them! Get your dictionary's out!!!!
you can see the unease of the other rappers, i sense that they are hating on him, he bar flows over ran the other so call rapper, lol i listen to them i want to hit road and go on crazy i listen to akala i want to learn !
I think Blizzard is definitely enjoying his stuff, and I'm sure Mic righteous would if he wasn't so distracted trying to remember his stuff. Bit unfair to say they're ALL hating on him
Akala, Wretch 32, Dave and mic righteous are like the mount Rushmore of rap right now....who saw stormzys face it looked like he thought oh shit, how do you follow that?
I seen this master piece of a specimen at Newtown, Sydney Australia was fucken awesome . 10 years of akala got a photo and what not, dudes top notch genuine gentlemen
Awesome as always, big respect to Akala and its down to all his fans to peruse their own individual ambitions without compromise. He is an example to show it can be done, persistence and self belief, Thank you for keeping me going. Another person who deserves recognition in my opinion is LIFE MC, his solo work is of a similar level. Rainbow Warriors stand to attention!
Akala was to smart to give a record deal Just think about that for a minute, The guy is a wordsmith in ways alot of people don't understand hence why know one would risk giving him a deal because what the government want the government get! And he could of been one of the most powerful voices to over come them, I'm so glad I'm one of the little few who know his music and his mission off the mic aswell, he really is "the bigger, wiser older brother" 💯🇬🇧😎
My dream is not to become a rapper...but to be one of the random guys standing behind him trying to look hardcore but in actuality I'm just very lost, confused and hungry.
love to know theres someone as sick as this on the scene, resepect! the man has wise words in reality and in my opinion knows what hes talking about most of the time, which is better than alot of mcs that talk shite and spit the odd sick lines!
Omg I had to pause this shit it was so fire. I swear akala is the best in the UK ever fam. And no I'm not fan boyin the guys bars are deep and intellectual as fuck.

RyanGiggsOBE what about lowkey brother ?!
Not a big fan of lowkey, some of his stuff I dont really agree with. Also as a rapper I find he style a bit boring, I can only listen to a few tracks and I have to change to someone else. Akala experiments with different style and his flow is insane. Lowkey is good, but for me he lacks that magic
ahhh fair, but lowkey is still the best for me by a country mile, and what stuff dont you agree with ? RyanGiggsOBE
yeah man u kno that making them look like fools talking about skengs n robbin n shottin jus makes them all look absolutely pathetic
Yep agreed
The other emcees were back there contemplating quitting while Akala was at the mic 🤣
"you might score but you got no skill, lineker" hahah the way this guy is able to blend/change the mood of his rhymes is genius!
This guy has ridiculous flow. Who knows how he breathes
Its difficult to stand listening to the radio when you've experienced music and talent like this... Its unbelievable. He covers just as much or even more in 5mins than what I've learnt in first term in uni.
'Who came top of the pack? It's a fact, I didn't have to pretend that I do sell crack' so true respect to akala
imagine getting into an argument with him lol
😂
@Matthew Henderson nope. It's easy to argue politics with Akala as they have nothing to say except play victim and just sit in an echo chamber. Tommy Robinson isnt stabbing kids in London ever day or raping kids in Rotherham is he?
So are you saying Akala or black people specifically are doing these things? Every race has a cunt in it so please don't be that guy lol
Anthony no he is just in prison for nearly causing a miscarriage of justice and letting rapists go free. London has had Gangs and gang violence for centuries and there has always been indicators that show the cause.

Just listen, it's easy.
Akala is low-key dissing all the other rappers in the room and non of them have any idea
🙌🙌
I was thinking exactly this looooool
Stormzy walking around going through his phone trying to look for lyrics and spits nothing. Akala comes out let's his mind speak out, that's a real MC.
🤣🤣🤣
Clocked that.
That's a fact I clocked stormy aswell well spotted
Educational rap is so dope. Give kids something to use.
phenomenal. akala is a monster
This is just untouchable how talented is this guy????
I've seen people calling Bugzy Malone, Skepta, Ghetts and others the best in the UK but personally, they don't come close to artists like Akala & Mic Righteous.
Lowkey is in my top 3 alongside Mic Righteous and Akala.
And Immortal Technique isn't from the UK man lol. But I'm a big fan (I even met him back in 2012 at his show).
+KnownEpidemic agreed with everything you two said. Akala, Mic and Lowkey get overlooked because of the content they spit.
+MrMidgetman3 I don't know much about Lowkey or Mic Righteous, but the thing about Akala is while he is a great rapper with great flow and lyricism, his songs aren't all that hot beyond the rapping, right? Skepta's gotta be up there though for me. The way he delivered Nasty... So much conviction in it... Better than Akala's verse on the beat in this cypher imo.
in my opinion i disagree because skepta and jme was both on a track and smashed it through the roof for only a 2 half min rap.
+KnownEpidemic Immortal Technique went on Info Wars and did an interview with Alex Jones
Soon as I heard stormzy get the best reaction for talking about a selfie, I knew I had to find this. Big up Akala as always n thanks to the uploader for cutting out the shit.
"I've got more rhymes than a Chinese got dollars, you won't get that line 'cos you're not scholars. So which MC can touch mine? Who done off the EDL guy with one line?"
*5 Years on* They say the fire Akala started in that booth still burns today!
It is still burnin' blud.
"The weakest one in the room is the loudest"... gives the mic to Bella Gotti
Lol but to be fair this was the first I heard of her in this cypher and she was pretty good though in terms of flow and punchlines. The only thing I dislike is she seems like a rip off of other female rappers like Lady of Rage and Lil Kim because rather than saying anything original she's just talking about sex and money and being a gangsta hoe
Awkward 😂😂
did u mean Stormzy?
Hipster Life Stormzy was easily the weakest in the room tbh.
b11k22 😂😂😂 👌

Your grammar is terrible but I agree, you forgot about mic righteous btw
Uncle Akala da flow father.
Man, fuck the booth... there's fire in my room and I think Akala started it.
Akala and Lowey are the 2 greatest rappers of all time
Lowky still not close
Thank you for this. Having to skip those other imitators would of been difficult. Is that ghetts fella wearing a bullet proof vest and a backpack? what an absolute joke of a human.
I literally loled at your comment, was thinkin the same thing
ghetts been on them drugs, he's gon totally whack, thinkin he in ISIS or sum other millitia. nigga look at his beard, he defo on the no-fly list.
Ghetts is talented don't chat anonymously.
dnt get it twisted bruv, ghetto is hard as fuck, but lets be real it's been time since artillery or fuck radio, literally cannot name any of his recent songs, hes not been gd since calm before the storm, he's fallen off in a big way darg but 2000 & life stil hard af, n he went hard on the cypher i werent talkin bout his lyrical content but my man looks like he's bout to blown up a train stil
Like A Bossaru ghetts is a goon my gran could produce better bars
''I got more lines than the chinese got dollars'' Well damn.. that was a clever line.
“I’m so sick I don’t spit, I throw up”
4:10 *Considers career change.
Looooooool trust me
Lmao that's exactly what I thought
jake shuttlesworth - For real though.
jake shuttlesworth what do u mean?
ZaksWorld Nah he was referring to the look stormzy gave Akala.
RESPECT AKALA PURE SKILL ON THE MIC
“There’s no pen, yet I, stay with the force like Jedi” 🙌🏼 educating these fools. Akala the scholar. Best about since he bust the door in 04.
Knowledge is power! I was gna cut that up as well. Cheers u saved me the job! in my eyes the best part of the cypher by far! Well chuffed when he did the first bars this Geezas on another planet to the rest of them! Get your dictionary's out!!!!
My pleasure!
think he's good check out Lowkey, Lowkey also did a track with Immortal Technique "Voices of The Voiceless"
if you like Akala you will love these two.
katy bear Check out Lowkey's Soundtrack to the Struggle Album. Best tenner you'll spend all year
+Silencerof Leeds (SilencerOfLeeds) i do lol
Saw Akala in Falmouth, such a small crowd for such a talent. Sad state of affairs, but he just owns.
4.24 onward's is just incredible especially the start had me gob smacked.
thanks for putting this together :)
"Who the best? Come on, grow up. I'm so sick i don't spit i throw up" DAMNNNNNNN
you can see the unease of the other rappers, i sense that they are hating on him, he bar flows over ran the other so call rapper, lol i listen to them i want to hit road and go on crazy i listen to akala i want to learn !

Pure genius. I have three degrees and I don't know shit compared to Uncle Akala. Peace.
Pogbars he's got both now, knowledge is power
There is just no words to comprehend his talent here he is on another level
Akala representing the British lyrical talent
'The weakest one in the room is the loudest' 💯💯
his Rhymes are so real and relevant to this day and age I feel it in my mind body and soul
thanks for this !!!
No problem man
they ain't boppin to him cos they're trying to catch every word!
The reason akala will always be the best mc in the uk 👆
My dream is not to become a rapper...but to be one of the random guys standing behind him trying to look hardcore but in actuality I'm just very lost, confused and hungry.
This is the thing grime slept on and now is dust in the wind
0:46 After the first clip the edit make it look like he called NoLay up and then instantly shut her down and carried on rapping 😂
Akala looking like Cuadrado right now
😂🤣
I love how he says "Run it" like it's a spliff haha
Hott Fiiiyah Sunn !!!! Dua Amun ad Hotep !!!! Thank You AKALA and Crew !!!!
I seen Akala in aus a few years back in Sydney, Newtown . Was fucking amaaaazing . Seeing him again
Now I don't have to endure the other people!
who done off the EDL guy with one line! lol that had me rolling
Yo the flow on his second turn is mad
yo your musical taste is mad
The rap he does at 3:19 is outstanding!!
Basically rapping about the shite the 10 guys and girl behind him come out with 😂 THE BEST.
Apart from Mic the other rappers needed to take some notes from this guy.
P-money was awesome in it, but you could tell Akala has the highest IQ in that room but quite some distance
Mic righteous was epic too tho
P money hope thats a joke pal he is absolute dog cant even ryme
jeff posnan and you can rhyme?
Noooo stormzy killed it as well
akala is king!!
Definitely the best in the cypher
Bob Marley reincarnated as a lyricist from 🇬🇧 💯❤️every line is knowledge instead of the usual commercial stuff ! Awesome 👏
Deep Fake .
Mic righteous and akala different levels ❤
True, but this is a pf Deep Fake vid. Much Love Brother.
@@Rlindagem wym?
love to know theres someone as sick as this on the scene, resepect!
the man has wise words in reality and in my opinion knows what hes talking about most of the time, which is better than alot of mcs that talk shite and spit the odd sick lines!
white black yellow or fucking green. this man has a message that is universal
Lyrically Akala is on another lvl
I love the way whenever Akala, the best and most experianced rapper starts, they look bored asf XD
They don't understand his bars lol
Stormzy giving akala dirty looks, Stormzy is not even close to Akala's level of ability
2023 🔥
this guy is brilliant+ intelligent. watched his london interview
The flow on that second beat is mad
Deep Fake .
How the hell do any of akalas videos ever get dislikes!?
one my faves seen him live :)
The Greatest Stream of Music...anywhere!
Controlled breathing my guy killing those clowns .. Facial expressions say everything when akala touches the souls of the so called gangsters ..
Akala...are you kidding me? This is amazing...
Everyone in the back... Just waiting on taxis 😂
Omg he's amazing one of the best :)
Awsome
This. Is. Brilliant.
Akala The Flow Godfatha...........
Uncle akala the flow father 😮💨
all the rappers and mc's in the background of this video, don't give up your day job :) Akala conquered the booth.
This went harder than the original and I grew up listening to dre and em
Akala is just on a whole other level on the UK scene.
Also does anybody know the beat to the final set of bars?
i just love how all the SHITE has been cut out and an AKALA compilation has been made, i dont even wanna watch the full thing lol
ahahaha
letting him go first was really unfair 😂
The Pen Jedi
My guy, him and lowkey had da game on lock facts 💯
OUCHHHHHHHHHH THAT WAS HARD
Is Akala the GOAT?
Matt Jones. yes
As long as he is alive greatest!!
K-Dot
Akala's a huge contender tho for sure
Yep
The kind of track you add to your favourites before you even listen to it...
Love looking at the fucked up distorted faces of these rappers as Akala shows lyrical technique,breathing,rhythm, and content
Omg I had to pause this shit it was so fire. I swear akala is the best in the UK ever fam. And no I'm not fan boyin the guys bars are deep and intellectual as fuck.
