[MsBigBeat]

You can see his MOBB DEEP influence ALOT :D

[SuperIkhy]

lowkey akala old sway kano dizzie rascal oxide neutrino so solid crew classic uk struggle music

[TVCreed]

i always hated shakespear becuase of english classes and our exams were based on 500 years old english, its ridicolous its no different to chinese.*

[FutaGaming]

@TVCreed Should try harder then ;)

[DGilmore19]

Does anyone remember the name of the Akala tune from way back from when ChannelU just launched and it had Akala on top of the cars with like a classic / epic music sample in the background ?

[ShaiyaPlayer01]

@DGilmore19 Could be Shakespear. same sample as Zombie Nation i think

[DubberTrubbleMusic]

@DGilmore19 akala get em girl freestyle?

[NKiley1]

@DGilmore19 i think it was 'banga for the streets', amazing tune :)

[DGilmore19]

@NKiley1 Man, thanks so much !

[NKiley1]

@DGilmore19 no worries mate :)

[AnimeTV100]

Wow it's been a while since I have been moved by hip hop.

[1zinzanzin]

00:36 is just pure funny

[skeletonchrist1503]

ive heard him qoute mobb deep quite a few times

[TAYBOSS2010]

greatt tune, any1 kno if i can find da instrumental

[orangeandapplefull]

Lupe, Immortal Tech, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Akala & Lowkey are the only rappers (in the world) that I listen to.

It's absurd that the young generation rather listen to wacka floka, gay z, fag wayne etc..when Akala goes "unheard".

Keep doing your thing Akala..

[binge011]

@orangeandapplefull

Respect for your tastes, I love technique, mos def, and that, and despise the Kanye west's and lil wayne's of this world, but don't limit the rappers you listen to. There are tons of great rappers out there you haven't covered. Check out cunninlynguists, masta ace, jurassic 5 (or more importantly Chali 2na), scroobius pip even, roots manuva, akir, etc. there's still a lot of sick stuff out there.

[orangeandapplefull]

@binge011 will do. thanks.

[darkeyshot]

@binge011  Dont forget Lowkey.

[MisoMeMiso]

@binge011 lol @ scroobius pip

[NoFukinNamesLeft]

@orangeandapplefull I hope you don't limit yourself that much there is so much more..check out globalfaction's channel

[Dazar25x]

@orangeandapplefull LOVE THAT SHIT MAN SAME, +n tupac, biggie, big L, jedi mind tricks, mic rightoues !

[VGAfusion]

@orangeandapplefull you should add hopsin to that list

[Tyrogo]

I remember this tune from when channel U (AKA)was actually good. Akala is actually one of the most under-rated mcs, period.

[henrywrover2]

Yeah agreed, he spits like crazy in bit by bit :D

[Haz155]

[FDCbadaman]

[gaagaagoogoo1010]

[fuckwithme991]

check out trupah binge drinking

[LDN2KZC]

whats this beat called? any1 know?..coz i recognize it from somewhere before akala did his rap on it!

[crazyalcayne]

Dope!!

BTW the U.S. still has plenty of dope MC's around but our wack ass radio stations and major record distributors and Media outlets just focus on the BS music. They're trying to "dumb us down" by any means. The only dope MC's that make through the cracks are Jay, Common, Lupe and Kanye Busta and a few others but everybody else is Underground.

[lucafisher123]

akala is easily the best...hes a fuckin genuis blud...keep it tight

[paulgregs2006]

NEVER !!!!!!!!!!

[Comentingonstupidvid]

Akala easily the best in UK hes i swear the wastes on sbtv would die if they went against akala this guy is cleva as weelllll

[URBANSPACEMAN94]

Na akala is sick but it as good as lowkey check him out

[Gozz6]

Only the underground shit is keepin it real..

[dujon06]

1 guy commented i luv da uk grime scene, but dis aint grime dow!

[ballerketballer]

US hip hop used the best ever, OLD SKOOL HIP HOP was the best.

these days US rap is fukcing bull shit

UK GRIME / HIP HOP IS THE WAY FOWARD,

akala big up

[Glory4Real]

types like lil wayne fuck the respect of us rappers up.

[moey320]

USA Rap is nothing now, its all lil wayne and TI its pussyole rap, grime is the way forward

[RaaM1871]

Even US Rap has a few good rappers left, e.g. Azeem, but mainly you're right, every country has his own rap culture now (like Germany, Japan, France and even the Netherlands xD).

[DAxNB]

fuking love the uk grimes scene

grime is so much better then most shit these days

[bajgergabajgerga]

anyway: the USA Hiphop and the UK Grime roots in Jamaica...

big up to DJ Kool Herc

[TeslaSMTM]

USA hip hop roots are from funk and jazz.

[bajgergabajgerga]

I don't think so. is from rnb breaks whit a little jamaican spice, and the griot spirited toasting.... hiphop is not just music, it's one of the biggest (sub)culture in the world. do you know the four elements of hiphop?

[LDN2KZC]

your right it did come from kool herc!..respect!

[bajgergabajgerga]

I think this "UK Hiphop vs. USA Hiphop" is bullshit. I like the new school UK Grime, and like the golden 90s hiphop from the USA too. Good music is good music. who cares where and when it comes from?

[taskzulu]

respect to alll the hip hop heads in the uk !!!! big up akala the tracks are fire!!!!!!

[realpassion95]

akala summin spesh to the uk in my oppinion the only uk mc rivaling the US he is deep not all this trash big in thee game beats as well and its only a shame not many heard of him and the ones that hav are amazed

[YoungflamesG]

whats this beat called?

[Necrolich88]

If i was North America, i would be worried... cuz the UK is coming.....

you have been warned.

[T3hHoLoCaUsT]

if you was north america, you would not be living therefore feeling no emotions.

[optimusprime10101]

If you were North America, you wouldn't have nasty teeth.

[AmZPrOdUcTioNz]

UK is comin, yes, grime will take ova d world

[lukeylsd]

I'm from the UK but if grime takes over the world i'll shoot myself, its garbage, too much hype, too much beef, some artists are nice, but 99% of artists in grime are pricks. Uk hip-hop though is banging, check rhyme asylum and reain got to be the sickest from the UK not even taskforce can touch Rhyme Asylum. The US got a LOT of deep shit though, it's all in the underground though, you have to search hard for it, but it's worth it.

[TyMann58]

@Necrolich88 You mean america should be scared cuz Canadian rappers are struggling too. I'm from Canada, and just started getting into UK rappers, I'm tired of american rappers and I'd like to see some Unity with Canadian and Uk Rappers. Start a new movement. FUCK AMERICA!

[BluBoyMusic]

@TyMann58 haha i agree except for da fuck america part coz some rappers der a good like mos def, krs, immortal technique, nas and still quite a few........... but anyways to the point there is some unity with uk n canadian rappers im from da uk n i rap with a canadian rapper called diasterious pat.

[LyricistSavvy]

@Necrolich88 yes mate! on the risee

[Fuzzymcstank]

@Necrolich88 why uhh...why you gonna attack us? no offense to badass england but if you guys attacked the states youd get skullfucked

[AHamzahH]

@Fuzzymcstank dumb arse! Can you not read between the lines? Oh I forgot you need FOXNews and CNN to spell it all out for you. Thick cunt. I just can't get over how retarded that comment is. WTF how can you think @Necrolich88 is trying to say UK is gonna attack the states when its in this context. You dumb arse!

[Fuzzymcstank]

@AHamzahH lol fuck FAUX and CNN...:P silly

[Fuzzymcstank]

@TheSaintAza lol no dude id never wanna fight our allies, england is beast...but i think wed stilly prolly win just cus were a lil bit bigger and all we do is war, ya everybody hates us cus our leaders who i hate too, even if multiple attacked us....wed nuke, theyd nuke...we all die

[TheSaintAza]

@Fuzzymcstank Ok my bad then, i thought u were another bush loving ignorant small minded American, i apologize.

[Fuzzymcstank]

@TheSaintAza i love bush...but i hate george bush lol, i dont think any american actually liked him =/ and obama is useless too...our leaders dont represent us, because we arent the ones who have the power to even elect them! bush only won 1 election somehow =/ time of war is prolly why, shouldnt change durin war so ya...well we do but are too comfy with out materialistic lifestyles to question it, but some of us do...if voting changed anything, theyd make it illegal

[TheSaintAza]

@Fuzzymcstank Yeah indeed, i thought Obama was gonna bring change but apparently he's just another puppet on strings, Ignoring questions, Not changing much and he still has the same advisers that Bush had LOL! we all know what kinda advice they gave bush, *we need to go into Iraq they have lot's of OIL! *Cough* i mean WMD's!*

[Fuzzymcstank]

@TheSaintAza ya dude...ya

[naildatbomb]

@Fuzzymcstank i think they must of liked bush if they voted for him twice... 

[Fuzzymcstank]

@naildatbomb ya dude i honestly dont even know how that happened...nothing but everybody hating bush but its like, how the fuck did he even get re-elected? oh ya us americans for the most part are extremely stupid, myself excluded...for the most part :P

[Fuzzymcstank]

@Necrolich88 YES come and kill our leaders, save us?!?!

[gmurder2011]

@Necrolich88 uk rapper soundlike a retard

[jimmyhopkins3]

@gmurder2011  cut

[YourStylesGeneric321]

@Necrolich88 just like the revolution?

[hssraja]

akala's the best rapper in the world in my opinion, type this in you tube and listen to it if you a real fan of rap/hip hop, its another great track of his, AKALA - BACK EM DOWN, awesome tune!!!

[LDN2KZC]

is this his beat?

[Webeaz]

this stuff is immense

[iRepEast]

i assume he wasn't born into the most prosperous of Environs,his sister is a multi-millionaire NOW. What about back in the day u dysfunctional retard. Wealth doesn't wipe out memories of poverty.Thts wat he is on about. its not tht hard 2 comprehend drooling moron

[mrMasterio]

this man needs to release his early stuff and concentratin on puttin his new stuff out coz this shit is far better

[nathanblud123]

akala is safe he jus needs more publicity to mak it big init

[DJCW]

"Hit u so hard separate your thoughts from ya mind"

oh shit thats a sic tight line.

[chelsta08]

Akala actually has something to say. its not just lyrics, he lives it and is spilling his spirit. 9's and ak's?? yeh that shit is cool too, but its not origional anymore. i grew up on gangsta rap and will always have it in my collection. Akala has a fresh sound/flow hip hop needs to stay alive. the single "bullshit" has something every true brit can relate to. respect

[bigmouthgang]

waz gwarnin wah you chahin cuz he aint no fuking poor person dat made a livin out reppin E-40 his sister is a million air so FUK OFF

[PJS192]

Man, seems like EVERY hip hop related video I click on there's some Jay-Z hating comments.

Akala himself'll tell you Jay-Z's one of the artists that influenced him the most. (He's said it in loads of interviews).

[Vi3tChungJr]

lol he is not from UK

[sCECY]

u talkin bout akala? hes frm north london

[aks73]

Archway..but he acts like he's from Compton lmao..and his sis is a multi-millionaire-Ms Dynamite-so all this fake bullshit about the streets he spits is just idiotic.He's a fucking embarassment.

[DominicGudgeon]

No mate.  Wrong. Someone's been lying to you.

[PicoDeath]

Well, Akala owned a bussiness and did really well in school, he's not bound to this ignorant mentality you're talking about.

I guess you didn't learn this years ago, but most hiphop/rap artists arn't involved in what they spit about, they're narrators.. telling a story about what happens.

Tupac and Biggie have admitted that's what they are.

[NaderSalih]

er and you think she was born a millionaire yh just coz she is one now doesn't that she wasn't broke before you never know he might of grown up like that and then his sister got rich so then don't judgements like that when you don't know the full story.

[NaderSalih]

and you think 50 cents still gang banging he's millionnaire himself and he's still gassing aboat shotting and gang banging.

[Loveborough]

reppin

[nokaliptic]

wack niggas, jayz is prolly your favourite rappers rapper on the real and ye..fries and burgers are good still...btw does anyone know this guy? besides outside of uk? nah i didnt think so.

[DeanoS91]

Na, jay z is shit so shut the fuck up, your favourtite rappers favourite rapper is probably Rakim, KRS or NaS so get your fuckin facts straight first. Doesn't matter how big any artist is, in this case, Akala. How does how big he is determine how much of a great artist he is? It's not about sales, how much money an artist got or how big they are, its about what they write, so fuck off and go and listen to your jay, ha. Akala is one of the best out of UK AND US so shut your fucking mouth

[plomovic]

your from canada u fukin idiot wat are u talkin bout, firstly ur country is insegnificant and has no1 reppin toronto or vancouver cause ur all pussyholes, the onli fing funni bout u guys is dem canadians frm south park LOL nd u jus sed does any1 noe bout dis guy outside uk..wel u inbred retard ur outside the uk nd u noe bout him...nd check his otha videos americans are showin him love..nd jungle and grime becomin big in canada..i noe ppl in toronto dey even sed it, ur probably frm sum lil town

[surefirewin]

Btw im american i know this guy and he's awsome not only that im the whitest person u will ever meet. I dont even look up rap that often and i know this guy..

[Webeaz]

[surefirewin]

[KemicalKev]

erm most people have heard of wiggers i reckon

[surefirewin]

rofl

[y17624]

bruv dats racist man. thats just like a white person callin u a nigger. bruv fix up

[Ozyrus]

Exactly, people can say shit about my skin colour, but are they gonna come close enough find out what colour my eyes are while they're saying it, there you go.

[clonesamarie]

@Ozyrus Its easy to talk tough online yeah?

[Ozyrus]

@clonesamarie Exactly the point I made? Yes

[clonesamarie]

@Ozyrus I was referring to you? Acting tough online. Its weak and pathetic. its kind of funny. You're mocking people yet you're doing the same thing.

[Ozyrus]

@clonesamarie I don't need to act tough, you fail to see that the statement I made there, can be made by anyone, because we are all anonymous here, with our little youtube names, its a template answer that shows any youtube beef is ridiculous. I'm not mocking anyone, so you stop acting tough

[husooo92]

loool

[iNSTiNCTx213]

I'm in US and I still know Akala. His shit is tight, I don't care if he rep's his country and not mine, I just concentrate on the life shit he spit. He makes fuckin sense, he's equal to Eminem back over here. Respect to US and UK rap, nah, respect to everyone that's making real rap/hip hop, in English or not.

ICP is still garbage lol.

[DJCW]

iNSTiNCTx213..thats love right there.

nuff respeckts, Peace.

[ScumsCarcharadon]

Well said ... good rap is good rap! You should check Phi Life Cypher ... just pure sickness!

[anominos]

yes he is known...overseas

[layla791]

Akala is amazing, he deserves more recongnition than he gets to be fair.

lfl x

[ppview]

this guy isnt bad at all ive heard some of his stuff but to say the us sucks is ridic and also to say the uk sux is the same! no1 has heard all the best we both have to offer becuase they are underground not many ppl are willing to listen to that and ever1 has songs where htey are hot in its a matter of consistency beleive it or not lil wayne had a few songs a while back when he was actually hot before all the fame nd shit

[Canadiangolfer011]

Holy shit im from canada and i didnt even know they had this in england this made my top 5 best rappers of all time

Props

[Flozz]

man this cat is sick!

[andwhat99]

all of you stop arguing man

akalas sick

but so are many american rappers

(NOT soulja boi.)

just leave it, on the whole both countries are good at this kinda thing.

[damans12]

He is one of the best i know im from canada and i do listen to the uk rappers and the us rappers

Dang he got skills To name a few that im comparing to in the US. Wu Tang Clan, Mos Def, and Nas yes some of them are mainstream and some are underground.

[icylemonhead]

akala is amazing

[Skilledsam]

you cant even compare american rappin 2 the UK, watch videos of american freestyles and a lot of UK grime artists are more talented.. UK grime is on a different level. theres just more media hype about american rappers they go mainstream whereas some of UK's top rappers are underground e.g. Scratchy, Devlin, Ghetto, Plan B etc.

[nokaliptic]

Ya'll got fucked up teeth for all i care. damn...your all from england and cant even speak it it right. akala would get murdered by any MC's up north. you got nothing on Jay-Z or Fab or Cassidy or Weezy. damn i could go on...and yes they do talk about problems in todays societies you just dont kno any of they're tracks. I know nuff g's from your town that dont even like your crap rap. the only thing you have nice is Faith SFX and thats about it...and he's not even that known well

[Nurosyz]

the UK has EVERYTHING on cassidy weez and fab. those three areant even fire.

[ppview]

this song isnt bad at all just i cant understand some of it cuz of tha accent but it still sounded good to me but listen weezy is trash ill agree with u on dat but theres no way u can say fab and cass arent fire fab is the hottest rapper out nd cass is nice but hes not as nice as he used to be listen to fabs version of a millie nd his songs from the mixtape there is no competition and i do agree with ever1 that says listen to the actual lyrics but tha tru lyracists arent hollywood famous rappers
