[toweronepower]

lol 

[PHDdARkNeSs]

i think this is gud tbh so fuk u youtube people

[gennoy93]

dickhead with the smirnoff ice needs to shut his mouth. patois is a language/dialect but whats wrong with skepta using it? so bloody what

[bumbaklutz]

"in the kebab shop" hahaha

[SELONDONN]

IM BLACK MYSELF BUT FROM AN EARLY AGE I FOUND OUT U CANT FUCKING ARGUE WITH BLACK PPL CUZ ALL THEY DO IS SHOUT OVER EACHOTHER LOOOL

[musicforeveryonepage]

I bet half these Jamaicans don't even know what the word it self means?

[OfficialBDelight]

@eon001 I guess Busta gets away with it as his background is Jamaican, can't explain Mos Def though!

[eon001]

How does nicole scherzinger get away with butchering patois in her "Right Here" song, but Skepta can't say bludclart? Not to mention Busta Rymes and Mos def failed attempts to rap in a yardie accent. (Fan of Busta and Mos btw but there yardie is cringe worthy)

[bbbeen]

Smirnoff ice? faggot

[masterl14]

People dont know how smart Poet is! Rate him!

[Tygabone]

Is it ok for Jesse J to say man dem man dem?

[dmdpro5]

jamaican is not a race they come form africa im sure they dont care

[AaronNathanMiller]

poet speaks sense

[weedster999]

Annoying jump cut editing....

[OfficialBDelight]

Errr @connorreecelus Ms Dynamite is of Jamaican descent. The rest of you analogies are correct apart from that one.

[connorreecelucas14]

Ms Dynamite did it. The singer from UB40 did it, he was from birmingham. Snow did it, he was from canada. Maverick Sabre sounds similar to Paulo Nutini and there both irish

[connorreecelucas14]

Ms Dynamite did it. The singer from UB40 did it. Snow did it. Collie Buddz aswel

[TheMckenzieOfficial]

Skepta can use whatever he wants too use! his mother is actually from the carribean so whats the problem?

[Covcentralent]

debate about lord of the mics 3!!!! cmon man

[avenger014]

the title of the debate is slightly pointless but it was a good debate none-the-less for everyone saying its shit.. some good questions were raised and answered

[coled7lan]

why does every skepta tune need to be controversial?? fuck it, you do ur ting, he does his ting, relax and live life coz every1 is different and u cant do jack shit bout it!!

[bumpa009]

west africans have been in england for jus the same amount if not longer of time as the Caribbean's mr dj get ur history right

[JaykePRO]

LOW IT MAN... COLLIE BUDDZ

[Shyne4me]

so many artists switch up their accent/sland/style for an entire song so why ppl questioning skepta for 1 line that souns so natural in the song anyway?? Skepta can do what ever he likes on a track

[Shyne4me]

@Shyne4me slang***

[ShynAwkward]

See how people waste time arguing over trivial bullsh*t, meanwhile they don't dare to talk about the real, meaningful things that are affecting our lives daily e.g. Codex Alimentarius, Chemtrails, Thimerosal, Amalgam Poisoning/ Fluoride Poisoning etc?.... (educate yourself!)

Peace & Luv.....

[MoneyCarsHoes36]

'west green road...that's kingston' LMAO

[stopcommentingshit]

I just wanna know jade avia

[H2T]

@stopcommentingshit

i wouldnt mine getting in jade but once im finished i'd leave her there, shes only good for a night

[stopcommentingshit]

@H2T no way she's wife material

[H2T]

@stopcommentingshit

shes only good for a night but i'd be nice enough to give her breakfast +bus fare in the morning

[stopcommentingshit]

@H2T lol id keep her around

[Diomond89]

Does that Teef guy have to swear every sentence? Makes him seem so thick

[yesitsvetz]

people on the internet just love to complain, argue with each other, & insult/tell people their wrong to try score neek points.. who cares..

[TYISCLOSER]

i enjoyed that.. there is obviuosly a double standard

[BigTonneUK]

Jump Off had this debate because the media have been slating him off the back off this recent track! he made a grime tune back in the day called BUMBACLAT BADMAN and no one said shit! big up most of the panel who showcase its not an issue! big up skepta!

[SEXYLOOKGOODLALA]

I think everyone is missing the point. There were stupid people cussing Skepta about saying it on Twitter, i'm glad they did the debate. It will show the people who think he shouldn't speak Jamaican how ridiculous they are. Some good points made... Skepta's tune is on point!

[MrAloo14]

@SEXYLOOKGOODLALA this is more about africans like b4 bare man used to lie sayin there jamican and now we gotten so far to be 'Unique'

sum africans feel like his sellin out african by beenin a wanna be rasta

stupid but true same as asain girls all the asain got mad cuz ,it was 2 black guys talkin about how they want a asain gyal

[cyrus2310]

when this world realises it not about the language, religion and colour of your skin and accept the fact the we are all human then we can start get pass racism and get over the way some people speak! pretty dumb debate tbh

[gudoldcbow]

@cyrus2310 true say man

[pirell]

i suppose he shouldnt eat jamaican food either. i cant beleiv e this is even a discussion,...fucking twats sitting there talking absolute crap. plums

[MattScandrick]

Well that was a fucking waste of 12 minutes.

[iAlreadyKnew]

Is that donny really drinking Smirnoff Ice?

[MrMadvybez]

This whole thing is stupid with all the f*ckrey happening the world you would choose this :/

[Tygabone]

He also said 'white niggas' is that cool?

[Tygabone]

I was more annoyed that he said 'jamaican girl rubbing on my leg' then has a couple white gyal sat next to him -- i thought that was more of a par 

[MADEINOLIVEBLOG]

Teef and Poet made the most sense! Teef is right. There is a double standard. Like Skepta said the same Africans saying it's wrong to say "bloodclart" say "wagwan". Skepta said it because it sounds hot on the song. Must everything be taken so serious?! On top of that, the UK is mixed with African and Caribbean people. It's a given that he uses Caribbean words. And LaLa made a good point on Jessie J's usage of "mandem" baffled me. I know for sure she does not use "mandem" on the daily.

[symillickg]

white as fuck... and i understand the meaning of n****... that still dont mean i can use it!

[symillickg]

is this going to be as waste as the usa version?

[Prof16440]

bullshit so he spoke with a jamo accent so what who doesn't? why the fuck are these people. its like if a white guy sings a song in spanish is it suddenly offensive to spaniards? all you guys arguing about this are stupid. when a white guy sings with a jamaican accent he's accepted when a fellow black london guy uses it the whole world ends, mehn fuck this

[VGS786]

thats just dumb, ppl will talk according to their local town or borough so whats the big deal if he wants to use jamaican slang? the debate is fuckin pointless

[cleany18]

poet shud seriously stop doing crossovers STAY ON GRIMEDAILY!!!!!!!!!

[TheDeeJayBen2010]

teef speaks the truth 

[worldwidekid1]

teef and poet always talk sense

[TheDeeJayBen2010]

woman hates on white people ignorant bitch real talk cockney and Jamaican urban slang !

[IbsKilotv]

this debate is pointless.

if you have nothing to talk about dont post bullshit until you do

i like your other vids, this ones shit

[Shasbag]

@IbsKilotv Calm yourself down. This is THEIR job, they post THEIR videos. If you dont like the subject shut the fuck up.

[345stewma]

who gives a fuck?!!

[threex1]

first



[90mv]
