Akala is so awesome, can anyone describe him better than I do?

[peacelovr234]

[27brennan]

@peacelovr234 Really?? English must not be your first language then.

[PouriaLDN]

@peacelovr234 lol learn english?

[ArseLoad0fMetal666]

[FutureKnut]

This track is a mashup of parts of Baxter Baxter- Straylight, for anyone that's interested. I didn't expect to hear it its amazing here

[smiggleberry]

absolutely sick bat boy akala !!



[TommyV558]

Tight rapping doesn't even begin to describe that.

[SelinaP95]

Akala is a complete genius- proof that rap can be intelligent!

[masnillab93]

So this is why people like rap... o.O

[xerke]

If you compare this to lil wayne you don't have to wonder why some people hate mainstream rap

[saidshitt]

tonedeff is better listen to velocity and you can understand him a bit better

[TommyV558]

@saidshitt i listened to tonedeff and he was shit aswell as tonedeff.

Big up Akala.

[IXSOBAKEDXI]

@saidshitt Good tune but no where near as ill as this

[parachute9s]

My teacher told me to check him out and mannnnnnnnnn he sooooooo good!

[laxaxete]

2:30 - 2:55

[RyanGiggsOBE]

best rapper alive right now, doublethink album and his fire in the booth are proof of this. nobody did it like akala this year.

[ExtremeSportsEdits]

[SmexyKream]

Akala's flow is fucking jaw-dropping at times.

[lilstuntin420]

[INFLICTEDPAIN213]

OMG.... a mate from school told me to check this guy out... and holy shit... he is fucking amaizng

[simmeh1]

Discussing this in English lit, it completely shot my teacher down about how no artists these days are intelligent

[suliemanhs]

/watch?v=EhrYQrLBiTQ

[Lewcykinz]

no matter how many times i listen to this, i just can't spit verse 4... you know what bit.

[billthedonkey2]

[KongCannabis]

@PolurrBurr Most under-rated rapper.

[domdom235]

[SuperSquirters2]

@Pussylover00 P Money kills it nowadays.

[NainaB45x]

Respect to Akala. The boys way too underrated

[xYajuu]

Wonder how long it'll take an advert to use this song.

[Twicks1992]

Verse 4 is an absolute mindfuck

[TheAsianGee]

This is fucking rated

[TheRagingNerds]

nice lyrics, too bad I dont like this kind of music...

[TheMariachi7]

@TheRagingNerds that.. I can live with. Unless your kind of music is mainstream pop xD

[TheRagingNerds]

@TheMariachi7 No, lol

[TheMariachi7]

@TheRagingNerds then it´s ok =D peace man =)

[MisterAleksandr]

Bitches be jelly cause they aren't intelligent or as good as Akala.

Further information; (Had a seminar at my Uni hosted by Akala and met the guy. He's cool.) This song was originally composed on a Radio (i forget which station) talk show where one of the presenters challenged him to incorporate as many Shakespeare titles into a rap as possible by the end of the show. This is the refined version with the second verse of quotes added at the end. This man knows his stuff.

[twentytwoandeight]

The Speed!

[MsGhostrider12]

who da fuck is trying to diss akala ?? That's a hater right there for somone being real with genuine skills and all , just sad you gotta just laugh at them dickheads for real. keep up ya flows akala mad love and respect xxxx

[TmPYisKlew]

This guy is a genious, got his head down, was very close to making it as a professional footballer but chose to do this due to his talent in this profession. The lyrics he uses are amazing so clever and original.

[MisterAleksandr]

@TmPYisKlew He also had a way into the music industry due to his sister being Miss Dynamite and all

[liamevans1987]

i dont usually like this kind of music but this kids a genius and a hell of a rapper!

[faisalme1]

Shakespeare is the white Akala.

[Rhyzzlaaa]

@madeddi Yes I know i got two words wrong but I was in a rush ok

[madeddi]

@Rhyzzlaaa :D no prob. damn this tune is good.

[Rhyzzlaaa]

@EthanWood Actually no, this is how I spell MY nickname and how I want it to be spelled. You say I have poor grammar yet you start a sentence without a capital letter? I am not going to argue about this with you, you are pathetic. I don't really care how clever you are, I didn't ask you did I? So fuck off.

[1grjg]

Does this count as English revision?

[madeddi]

@1grjg of course.

[MJLBarnes26]

i literally want to give this in for my english GCSE

[fabienno1]

@MJLBarnes26 How many thumbs up do you want to actually do it lol?

[freakybutfunny]

@MJLBarnes26 i did



[DarkTibiaClips]

@MJLBarnes26 i literally did give this in for my english GCSE, didnt go very well :(

[BaddieT1994]

I like the song but I don't like his lisp it's slightly distracting, no troll though

[sirit]

Quite possibly the best rap I've ever heard in my life.

[TheConor333]

wheres this boy been my whole life?

[MrOmarkoo]

Now THAT is entertaining education :D

[donhonki1]

"Donhonki" "First ever crown court banned uk rap-poet" (2009-2014)

[daisymillie97]

possibly the worst song I've ever heard!?....

[omgz19921]

@daisymillie97

Your username is your name and your birth year, making you 13/14, Go back to Justin Bieber.

[MRWhippy84]

@daisymillie97 ur dumb then flow lyrics and content all gone over ur head

[demob7]

@daisymillie97 AAAAHAHAHAHAAA, you're CLEARLY a fucking IDIOT then

[RSNCleanShaven]

@daisymillie97 you must be deaf

[kingofallguitarheros]

this is hard lol i actually know the references

[Kobe3085]

cant understand how akala is so consistent with the quality of his work, each as good as the other. no matter which song yu listen too your always amazed by his work. hes not at all lik all these mainstream shit rappers who have no truth to thier songs and sound bad.

[TheBetcyboy]

FUCK ME HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD DIS BEFOR ITS FUCKIN BANGING !!!!!!

[MisterAleksandr]

@fmawson Already bought it, calm yo tits.

[crusher59928]

painful

[EmoHaterUK]

@crusher59928 This song is painful? Chu crazy

[209cgrant]

See grime artists do their research to make songs seem smart, but Akala KNOWS Shakespeare inside out and executes this track perfectly!

[millionsofu]

the first verse is just to harrdd !!!

[chloem7667]

love this :)

[froidalo]

he's and he's intelligent omg ! get over it

[DunWannaTellMyName]

Seriosuly why isn't this guy recognized while d idiot kanye and Lil wayne are everywhere??

[madeddi]

@DunWannaTellMyName because Akala is for people who think for themselves, and those people are in the minority.

[bmg13337]

@DunWannaTellMyName "you're playing the stereotype so of course you're famous"

[RezAIIDay]

check my videos out im a uk artist, tryna keep music original but at the same time a good sound to the ear. Hope u enjoy "its the kingpin"

[TheBrainwashable55]

Hooollllyyyyyy shit! fucking amazing

[shazadraja]

We should rename Akala and call him Ak47-A - the way he fires lyrics like bullets!!!!

[ocallyNORTH]

@shazadraja your an idiot



[R0B0stairs]

@shazadraja AK47 isnt fast enough have u heard his freestyle in wimbledon.. good name tho, but maybe akala the minigun is more fitting lol!

[SpokenWordCollective]

@shazadraja In his new album, the persona is actually called AK4700624, but everyone else has AK47 in their names too, just different numbers as suffixes

[seedaripper2010]

This boy rips the shit up! Astounding...

[scottayownsu]

good shit

[Char1ieBr0wn71]

does anyone know the piece of music that was sampled at the start? 

[caitlinx54]

best!! what album is this from anyway?

[Cr0wb4r1]

Fucking hell...

[Bergodinho]

i got nothin to say ... akala said it all ... big up

[MyMateCartwright]

It's almost poetic. He deserves so much more recognition.

[callumsimmons]

@MyMateCartwright he don't care about recognition all he's about is putting his message across

[Jordan91194]

Akala is so underated...

[callumsimmons]

@Jordan91194 well yes & no considering who his sister is and that he's done shows around the world

[babs9091]

SIIIIICK TUNNNNEEE.

[MrLildion]

Akala is a FUCKING BEAST THATS ALL I CAN SAY

[Rhyzzlaaa]

@Js5s141... You know what, i thought it was spelt like that, but i put that instead! Damn it!

[AbsolutChaos]

been jammin this for over a yr straight now, the whole album, UK is def. out shinin my country. GOOD

[MarkandJeremy]

Think I prefer the acoustic version.

Can't argue with those lyrics though, sick as fuck

[ZamDesigns]

this is so sick, I can't keep up to this exploding dictionary

#realness

[Rhyzzlaaa]

@SoDamnGansta

FIrst of all, you spelt Gangster wrong. Secondly, you have no idea how clever Akala is so don't come on here trying to be the big man, your a fucking neek. Akala got straight A*'s when he was in school. If you didn't realise, almost all the lyrics he sprays are quotes or references to Shakespeare, hence the title "Comedy Tragedy History" It really pisses me off that you can even call Akala shit, he is the definition of lyrical genious. Sincerly, Rhyzzlaaa. Now piss off you knob.

[Js5s141]

@Rhyzzlaaa I agree with you. But ironically, it's genius, not genious.

[EthanWood]

@Rhyzzlaaa first of all, you spelt rizla wrong. Secondly, you have no idea how clever I am so don't come on here trying to be the big man. also, First should only have a capitalized F.

[madeddi]

@Rhyzzlaaa you spelled genius wrong. and its "spelled", not "spelt". you are correct in what you say though.

[l0kd3n]

@madeddi Both 'spelled' and 'spelt' are acceptable. Stop trying to be pedantic.

[SaintLouisX]

@l0kd3n "Spelled" is not acceptable, for it is not a word in an English dictionary.

[l0kd3n]

@SaintLouisX spell (spl)

v. SPELLED or SPELT (splt), spell·ing, spells

v.tr.

1. To name or write in order the letters constituting (a word or part of a word).

2. To constitute the letters of (a word):

3. To add up to; signify:

[SuperSquirters2]

@SaintLouisX yes it is you pedant.

[SirrSnowman]

@Rhyzzlaaa genius* but i agree with you.

[MrTubbyMagician]

@Rhyzzlaaa Told that idiot straight:-D Akala is amazing!

[Year1022]

@Rhyzzlaaa You're fucking awesome.

[HollieHannahxxx]

ya man sugaaaar dat was genius like raaating woow

[LolaLOLALolaa]

Fuck that is brilliant!

[GoMofo1000]

He performed this like 30 centimetres from my face at a workshop i went to and there was only 10 people there! to see akala, it was mad

[lt12345iscool]

@GoMofo1000 jealousy is a horrible thing.....

[HaloLegendarymaster]

us dumb shits dont even understand what hes going on about the fucking genius!

[strpingu]

This guy definitely deserves more recognition!

[SuperBale3]

Glad he hasn't gone mainstream, would have a ruined an amazing man.

[dude3360]

@inflameszombies11 I have, i just dont like them. this guys so much better. not just intelligent lyrics, but it's catchy and actually listenable. I dont enjoy listening to immortal technique. It's good once, but dance with the devil isnt something i want to listen to over and over again

[mikeyduke10]

@dude3360 after the first few times the song dance with the devil looses the meaning and completly fucks with ur brain ....

[xXHITMAN14]

@mikeyduke10 the song dance with the devil from immortal technuiqe?

[mikeyduke10]

@xXHITMAN14 yeah



[xXHITMAN14]

@mikeyduke10 you said that it fucks with your head

[mikeyduke10]

@xXHITMAN14 the first time you hear it it does.

[xXHITMAN14]

@mikeyduke10 i liked that song itwas crazy the first time i heard it but then after a while i allready know what it's gonna say and im doing something else and that song is just in the background.

[mikeyduke10]

@xXHITMAN14 ahaha thats what happens with me the first few times i listened to it. it had an effect... but now when its on i just fade out of even listening to it properly

[nickbobj321]

pro no swearin' do u no how hard that is to do! lyrical genius!

[bryanhazza]

hes no nas but those were some crazy good lyrics

[dude3360]

brit rap is... intelligent. haha i cant imagine any american rapper I know referencing any of this shit. this is awesome.

[inflameszombies11]

@dude3360 you obviously haven't heard of Diabolic or Immortal Technique then lmao

[SoDamnGangsta]

@dude3360 you must be gay

[NPTRocheyy]

This is insanely class what a legend how did he think of all this the clever fucker..... hes most definately underated.

[CloseYourEyesBitch]

I showed this song to my English teacher (as we were learning Shakespeare)...

He was speechless.

[SoDamnGangsta]

@CloseYourEyesBitch speechless at how terrible it is

[alisharifi3]

@CloseYourEyesBitch I'm speechless

[SimplyBaxter]

@CloseYourEyesBitch bullshit.

[CloseYourEyesBitch]

@SimplyBaxter Huh?



[LavaLover001]

@CloseYourEyesBitch LOOL samee! she thought i was nuts wen i sed i could do it all too :)

[moorezy94]

B.O.B and chipmunk should be cleaning this blokes fucking toilets cos compared to him they aren't anythin lyrically or talent wise

[ysmm92]

@moorezy94 nah, dont put chipmunk and b.o.b as part of the same comparison. b.o.b is very talented - unique, versatile just cause hes in the charts doesnt mean hes not talented. chipmunk is shit though no doubt.

[moorezy94]

@ysmm92 i suppose but theres no doubting akala's got 5x the talent that b.o.b's got

[ysmm92]

@moorezy94 at least 5x. thats always the case with underground artists.

[Dandango123]

i keep having to get ear transplants, cos everytime i listen to this from 2:30 they explode :/ Damn you and your genius mind Akala! :P

[Dandango123]

fucking immense!

[sameerpatel105]

this deserves more recognition

[omgwts1]

great song, never gets old!

[vedy21]

Madness

[JaystarOne]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­ck..... im speachlesssssssss

[EmoHaterUK]

Why is it that people with true talent never reach true fame?

It's sad really

[bdazzler1]

i can listen to this over and over again.. and it NEVER gets old!

[49andymoore]

i go from town to town and spread tha word like a disciple AKALA is 1 of the VERY FEW GREATS .

[campbelle20]

wow... where can i download this seriously i love the fact it got a on point message and seriously unique the lyrics slots with the instrumental beautifully

[Spike45362]

HO...LEE....FUCK!

This song contains ridiculous amounts of awesome.

[iiSOBAKEDii]

I just had an orgasm in my ears

[Gumdrops55]

Seriously this is genius. Like unbelievely good.

[TheDziRe666]

Akala is fucking GOD... best rapper out.

[ragnaice]

Yikes! Can people actually follow this without reading the lyrics? Phew... Can he do this live? He must be really good at breathing... O_o

[moorezy94]

he's just oo fucking sick that's fucking talent,not like commercial shitty rappers like b.o.b or chipmunk

[StevieStickman]

2:36 to 2:50 was fucking incredible.
