  • @7HackerH Not liking this song doesnt make me anti black or uneducated. I like some music, others not so. It's not a race issue.

  • @7HackerH

    why are you being racist you stupid idiot this song is about how cockneys and Jamaicans are similar....

    fucking mug .

  • @JimmyRetired

    You freakshow...what have Asians and Blacks brought other than crime...well let's start with millions of pounds worth of industry...then to continue with GP's and healthcare professionals...while British doctors get their degrees and piss off abroad for higher wages than what Cameron's Government pays...oh and the corner shop...the taxi drivers to drive you piss heads back home at competitive rates...so you believe that drugs didn't exist before blacks and Asians? Funny I don't

  • @jat1776 point!

    look at howard marks, from wales

  • @jat1776

    Fairly certain corner shops and taxi drivers existed before blacks and asians. Could be wrong but don't think I am.

  • child at 1:18 looks like a monkey.

  • "The cockney say 'Old Bill!'/We say dutty babylon!"

  • self inflicted? ok

  • man what a tragic death

  • R.I.P Smiley...one of the originators of the fast DJing style... 

  • Everyone thats saying RIP and Great musiscian, you only hold the right to say it if you are doing your part and coming to the march for justice in the name of Smiley Culture. Typing conspiracy theories isnt making a difference, actions speak louder than words. April 16th 2011 12 pm at Wandsworth road sw8 2DL Make ur Movements!!

  • @Jimmyretired I can pretty much guarantee that the ratio of crime in cities to seaside villages is the same now as it has been since Victorian times and beyond. its just the way it goes it has nothing to do with immigration!!

  • Genius song. RIP.

  • @bombsiteweed I now live in devon where foreign people dont live near me, and the crime is down, name me 1 benefit blacks and asians have brought to the countrie apart from drug crime

  • @Jimmyretired firstly drug crime is not a benefit, when some one gives u a kicking for being a mug youll go to hospital and when ur there it is more than likely that youll be treated at some point by a black or asain doctor.

  • @chindance I'm about to spark up this spliff in memory of a man who whatever else he did, ALSO brought some good vibes to thousands of people. How many pro-drugs-prohibition people can you say have ALREADY done that? Rather than prolonging misery and injustice with these stupid drugs laws that Smiley seems to have been a victim of one way or another. Legalise it!

  • @Jimmyretired the crime is probably down because you live in the middle of fucking nowhere with few resources to rob, 'genius'! Lucky you - pretty scenery and shit drugs, the reverse of the ghetto. Criminals aren't stupid, just poor, generally. Except the ones running this country at the moment. If you really want to see which race or culture or person is about REAL justice, make it illegal to LIE and I for one could get by fairly easily, how's about you and the politicians, for example?

  • rip to this great talent of smiley culture. true black british urban music at its best along with loose ends, silver bullit, mc duke, derek b, london posse, musical youth and soul2soul, also afew more to mention too. todays british black talent has finished gone down the pit with all that shit. yer know wonder the urban music is called uk grime. its absolute grime=shit.

  • SO MUCH ENTHUSIASM!

  • RIP ... no more sorrows no more pain goodbye to the sorrows of this world

    A symbol of the two worlds Brit-Caribs exist in.

  • im seeing so many comments disrespect smiley's name he was the start of modern uk rap/hip hop/grime. I have major respect for smiley and what he done for music here in the uk. People disrespecting his name need to grow up open their eyes and ears and listen to real music. need i say more than the only decent white rapper in todays mainstream is eminem?

  • @GrimeAnalyst No mate. I got NUFF respect for smiley. jus coz you got grime in your name dont mean your some authority on it. wiley is the father of grime.

  • Rather than refute this, embrace it and learn from each other, we all bring different things to the world and this man was the first to lyrically integrate the British dialect into modern secular music, the first British rapper to celebrate urban dialect. I hate reading the comments like the ones below, it makes me realize just how divided we are,we should be past the stage now where u refer to someone as the 'white girl' or 'black boy' recognize them for who they are not what they look like.

  • this will remain unattainable until all u arrogant, narrow minded fools get over this issue. I am a white english female, I listen to alot of reggae, soul and hip hop and everytime i look at comments below the videos they always involve racism, on both sides, ur gonna have to learn to live with the fact that theres more than one colour in this world and thank god for the variety

    of people he has given us or this would be a boring place.

  • its so upsetting to read these comments, how do u expect to find peace and unity when were still discriminating over the mere colour of skin (in 2011!). Its not an issue unless u make it an issue and why anyone would want to do that is beyond me, we all strive for the same thing at the end of the day (happiness and peace)

  • An originator who will be sadly missed. And I speak as a white, working-class skinhead - so stuff you boring, bad-tempered, Daily-Mail-reading BNP racist pricks who know nothing about music or its heritage! Smiley was a poet and a great guy. Rest in peace, brother.

  • @midlands72 fuck off you cunt let me tell you something you establishment slave maybe not all police but most of them are cunts and take drugs, and do many underhand stuff you would never find out as for GANGSTAS there are nuff of them in THE POICE FORCE & NUMBER 10 DOWNING STREET & PARLIAMENT Wot about DA iraq war ARE you FUCKIN BUZZING YOU MUG.

  • groundbreakin stylee...big up...

  • @ChezLS79 vote edl and bnp you foreign bastards will have to leave soom as we are fed up of your bad behaviour and not intergrating with us

  • @Jimmyretired

    LOOOOL! OMGGG!! you are still commenting on here? you fat bastard get out ur house and get a proper girl not some skinny emo u fucking freak.

  • I was hoping, that reggae will bring Jamsessions to Europe and that it is possible fighting the worst musicindustry ever with Reggae and Ska... at least nothing was coming then bullshit, more drugs , guns and endless multiplicating computertunes - and  this sh.. with gold, drugdealing and nigeria mafia .. if people are forced making money with drugs and gold .. then what is the clue about reggaeculture ?

  • Been reading some of the comments on here its mad people think like this in 2011

    Rip Smiley Culture......

  • I dont know how old some of u haters are, but let me tell you this, if you werent around when Smiley Culture released his tunes just allow his true fans & family to grieve in peace, Smiley was an icon & his music touched everybody when his tunes came out, he was different & had his own style.

    Please let his fans grieve in peace, this man died in suspicious circumstances.

    R.I.P. SMILEY CULTURE.

  • So Smiley supposedly asked to go into the kitchen to make himself a cup of char and whilst he was in there, he allegedly took a carving knife and stabbed himself to death??

    Fuck off.

    What kind of shit story is that??

    Are we to believe that an alleged cocaine dealer with everything to live for in terms of financial rewards who was due to appear before a court on the following Monday and who had NO previous criminal record suddenly decided that he had to do himself in? What utter fantasy!!

  • @notgoingdown are we to believe that people with there own family's deliberately murdered someone. lol just says alot about you if you think the police are going around murdering people, your probably a wanabe gangsta who thinks the world owes them something. so the drug dealer did nothing wrong but the police who have enough evidence to charge him and take him to court murdered him

  • @gamingmidget fuck off you cunt let me tell you something you establishment slave maybe not all police but most of them are cunts and take drugs, and do many underhand stuff you would never find out as for GANGSTAS there are nuff of them in THE POICE FORCE & NUMBER 10 DOWNING STREET & PARLIAMENT Wot about DA iraq war ARE you FUCKIN BUZZING YOU MUG.

  • Wackaaaaaaaaaaad! RIP Smiley. xx

  • No one here might care but ask anyone on the street what they would do to drug dealers. scum of the earth, just coss he sang some crap songs dont make him any different.

  • The Official Campaign for Justice for Smiley Culture Public Meeting.

    Location: Lambeth Town Hall

    Time: ‎7:00PM Thursday, March 24th..

  • @gamingmidget really? what was the evidence?where is the proof of this?was he convicted of this?was any thing seized in the "raid".....hatred and speculation from a country that built its Empire on drug dealing.

  • Every body needs to cool down, we are all one now, lets learn to love one another in Jesus name let us put all the bad blood and feelings away. The bankers and the power elite want to destroy us all white and black, look up the Georga guide stones then you will see thier plans, life is to short for us to hand down this hate to our children, one love, Remember Smiley loved white and black and he loved England.

  • This is why we are getting comments praysing thier evil work and ways at time of loss these beings feel no shame. Anyway the world will discover and realise what these beings are.

  • " Dutty Babylon!" To my peolpe and friends of, ..if you dont already know YouTube in the UK is now being used as a platform by retarded white suprmists like the bNP EDL and coward police cults to try and promote thier inferior ways and twisted devilish culture I believe (for so called national security / or similar), all posts are secretly go to an agency monitored by the police and can not help but leave comments.

  • The next BIG public event is on Thur 24th March in Brixton, for more info see Justice 4 Smiley Culture on FB........RIP SMILEY CULTURE

  • R.I.P

  • r.i.p brother.

  • I'm confused, How did he shiv himself in a bil raid? Its just sounds fancy dingy babylon. REST IN PEACE mate

  • RIP!

  • "fyah bun dutty babylon". :)

  • my dad was working like 3 houses away from his house when he commited suicide and the police and reporters were all there :L scary shizz

  • what a great video to a marvellous tune. I've never seen it before. How sad that it is Smiley's passing that made me look. RIP.

  • We need more Dub Reggae

  • Its all a bit fishy.  However, people do strange things under pressure and/or under the influence of drugs.

  • @youngmumma

    NONE of those were a FACTOR in this MURDER situation? How much "pressure"

    could he have been under, when he went to make a cup of tea?

    (So they CLAIM)

  • Another murder!!!!!

  • lets try to imagine what really happened as stabbing yourself in the heart is not as easy as it sounds, as we have a built in survival instinct, or did smiley get a blade and in the ensuing commotion the old bill stabbed him and said he did it himself as there were no witnesses, like they would admit killing him. Dirty Babylon

  • lets try to imagine what really happened as stabbing yourself in the heart is not as easy as it sounds, as we have a built in survival instict, or did smiley get a blade and in the ensuing commotion the old bill stabbed him and said he did it himself as there were no witnesses, like they would admit killing him.

  • OLD BILL : 1 Drug dealer : 0

    Lovely result for decent people

  • @karmachasescathy Karmachasescathy IQ:0 Giant Sloth IQ:160

  • @midlands72

    You won't rejoice mate? What you'll do is what you've BEEN doing for the last

    20-30-yrs! (probably more)

    So go and get that TISSUE, sit in the corner and start tugging-it you faggot!

  • R.I.P Smiley ! Much love to all my African/Carribean/Irish/Englis­h/ and everybody else ! Fuck these little testicle less minority who chat shit and hate ! Go and live in Germany where you belong !

  • P.s. i meant @Jimmyretired is a skinhead bastard and should go and eat a dick ! There ain't no such thing as English man it's a mongrel nation ! And the sooner you learn that you fuckin brainless dickless twat the better ! Britain is about far more than the English....There are more Irish and everbody else here mate your outnymbered ! So get your head out ya arse and stop smelling you own shit !

  • @jodie2106 Ironically the real Skinheads listened to THIS kind of music, and were into SKA

    and Jamaican music. They were not racist, they were friends with rude boys and there

    were black skinheads too. Only a few idiots became racist. Watch the film this is England.

  • @ojideagu I didn't mean the SKA scene i meant what most people know as skinheads usually NF or EDL so I am sorry if i was misunderstood. I have been into Reggae and Ska since the 80's and know about the skinheads that represented the Ska scene. Unfortunately the term "skinhead" is more commonly used for racist white groups i.e. Nazi's, The EDL, and NF and that is who i was referring to when i wrote "skinheads" so i apologize if i offended any lovers of Ska as that was not my intention.

  • @jodie2106 No problem! It's a shame the Nazi and EDL, NF idiots ruined the image of Skinheads.

    You didn't offend me! I was born in 1980 so mostly missed the skinhead era.

    When were you born?

  • @ojideagu tainted the union jack too!!

  • @cravena70 tainted it how exactly?

  • @jodie2106 It's funny how these two dialects he is talking about have now fused into a new dialect in parts of London among urban kids.

  • @ojideagu

    Nothing FUNNY about it? That's just the influence the black man has on the wider "society"!

  • @nuhpoch Why isn't it funny, you got a sense of humour bypass?

  • @krisoy52001 You talk about racism then you say black people and asians made this country ??? You fuckin idiot ! This country was made by everybody that came here including the Irish the Scots and anyone else we all had a part to play ! Your comment is just as RACIST as any of the other fools on here @midlands72 <<complete self righteous ignorant twat ! When i read comments like yours it makes me feel SICK ! @Krisoy52001 You and all your skin head brethren go eat a dick and drown on it !!!

  • The guy is dead and majority of the comments are rascist, grow up people. Black and Asians made this country, read your history. And one more thing we are not going anywhere.

  • @krisoy52001 you blak cunt this is england asians in asia blacks in africa english for the english folk

  • @Jimmyretired

    You're a real divvy, thick, cunt bruv! However I do agree with your statement to a point?

    We'll stay in OUR countries if you little tight, flat, arse WHITE men and women will STOP

    STEALING our wealth from our back yards!

    Then we'll see HOW long you little bland people LAST????

  • Comment removed

  • @Jimmyretired Shut the fuck up you numb cunt! You're a fucking disgrace. Just lie down on the floor, and stay there. Until you are dead. I'm white, British, and proud, but I'm nothing like you,

    you racist prick! English folk? You haven't got a fucking clue! Tell ya what, take your little fascist fantasy of racial purity, and stick it back up your ignorant fat lardy arse, then die in a fire.

  • @Jimmyretired WE WILL LEAVE WHEN ALL DA ENGLISH GET THE FUCK OUT OF ALL THE OTHER COUNTRIES AND STOP RAPING NATURAL RESOURCES OF OTHER COUNTRIES YOU PRICK CUNT

  • @Jimmyretired go shag your mum that way you can have a brother and a son at the same time you cunt ,ops you,ve been there done that already it seems ......wanker

  • @krisoy52001

    WHERE did you get that FROM? BLACKS (yes) and WHO? ASIANS!

    You're having a laugh mate! I would put IRISH way ahead of Asians. They just capitalised! (asians)

    Won't be to harsh on you because you got the right IDEA but NEED to do more RESEARCH

  • The guy is dead nd

  • When I grew up in the 80's out in the English countryside Smiley Culture, Eddie Grant and Musical Youth was the only Jamaican/Reggae style music we ever got to listen to and loved it.

    Would never have have got to Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marley, Tippa Irie or Toots and the Maytals without them

    RIP Smiley

  • RIP - love this song. Hope they discover what actually happen....

  • Legend! R I P and praying for justice

    People don't waste your time with these ignorant folk. Take comfort in the fact that they will get what they deserve. It will put a smile on your face.

  • fact of the matter is that smiley was killed but the police and they are trying to do a cover up..........rip smiley

  • R.I.P Smiley

    

  • R.I.P Smiliy

  • Wow he said Batty Man! Don't think the British public knew what the meant in 1984 lol you wouldn't be allowed to say that in a Pop Single now.

  • @ojideagu

    Why not? BUJU did!

    In 1984 ALL my school mates knew what a "battyman" was!

    Don't underestimate the white man?

    They didn't get to where they are in the WORLD by being "ignorant" or "silly"!!!!!

  • @nuhpoch I was born in 1980, I didn't hear "Batty Man" until Buju and that was in the 1990's.

    And that song was almost banned, it caused a massive controversy.

    Who said white people are ignorant or silly?

  • Why oh why do sick people use this as a platform to spurt there racist bullshit. Both black and white......You should be ashamed of yourselves. Its obvious the situation is what it is but having a slagiing match dont resole noting. I thought a;; racist's went away years ago but alas no. I am white and proud to be bur have many many black friends and never understand the divide that some build up... Lets just all get along and stop the hating, RIP Smiley ;o(

  • @troylayton1 People don't have the balls to say it in public or to peoples faces, so they crawl from under their stone to the Internet. It's well known in psychology and there is a name for it. Because there is no threat of attack or danger, and partial anonymity, people can vent their real feelings without fear. i.e Cowards

  • @troylayton1 well said

  • @troylayton1

    There's ALWAYS some white geezer saying i've got BLACK mates?

    We couldn't give a MONKEYS what colour your friends are!

    RED, GOLD OR GREEN!!!

    That doesn't change the FACT you're in a privelaged position

  • @nuhpoch and what privelaged position is that exactly?....do you know me????? your as bad as the other arseholes on here as my comment was not to justify that I have "Black Friends" just to say the majority on here seem to be living in the dark ages with this racist crap as I grew up in Hackney wich is a muticultural melting pot and never saw any racist stuff as we all got on and respected eachothers backgrounds. I suspect you have racist tendancies going by your comment......

  • istory you took the words out of my mouth......RIP SMILEY.........

  • Fuck the pigs who murdered Smiley. RIP

  • @bricardiff1969 fk yr muda, you sheep shaging pussy

  • .....we are all forgeting one thing , what a fucking good song this is......

  • another online report states that police waited 30 MINS before calling ambulance, WHY THE DELAY ? we have all seen those police raid TV programmes ..and on none of those 'shows' do they allow anyone to move around house alone and unguarded and usually first thing they do is cuff em.... Lets hope Freddy Patel isnt going to do the autopsy eh? RIP Smiley

  • @Jimmyretired you are a cunt, a very big fucking cunt, go and die quickly and let me find out where ur grave is so i can shit on it each and every die! one again, YOU CUNT GO DIE! THAT IS ALL

  • from IPCC website : IPCC update regarding investigation into death of David Emmanuel : "The facts that have been established so far are that at approximately 7am on Tuesday 15 March 2011, four MPS officers went to Mr Emmanuel’s house on Hillbury Road in Warlingham, Surrey to execute a search warrant. Later the same morning, at approximately 8.30am, an ambulance was called to attend the address by the MPS officers. An air ambulance crew arrived but Mr Emmanuel died at the scene. "

  • Comment removed

  • And furthermore @Jimmyretired I'm about to get married to a wonderful, handsome, educated white man who has nothing of the bile you have in you. And we're going to populate the UK with lots of our brown babies and there is not one thing you can do about it but post crap on youtube and shout at the TV or insult people in the street til you go to your grave.

  • Good riddance. Warlingham doesn't need drug dealers. Bad enough having jordan downgrading the place.

  • @Jimmyretired I think you should go to the kitchen and stab yourself because the England you want is never coming back. One by one dirty hating ugly idiots like you are going to disappear and die. I'm one of those "savages" you refer to. Black and Muslim to boot. My parents did more for this country than you could ever do. They worked every day of their lives and paid taxes. They gave their kids a good education and we're all employed in good jobs now.

  • Message to the people putting hate on here, someone has died no matter what the circumstances, have respect for the family and people that knew Smiley and to the people that enjoyed his music, hate takes to much energy and is a negative vibe, look within yourself to understand why you hate.... it is very brave to sit behind a pc and type evil words about someone that you dont know... i forgive you for you know not what you do.... rest in peace David ......another south london brother gone.......

  • huh! and this guy jimmyretired used to be one of these 'policemen'... lord help us all! @jimmyretired where were you in the history lessons - you are clearly diluded and set in the stone age... tell the government to send us home then ... oh but we might need back all the gold, oil, jewels, Egyptian relects and everything else that England has stolen from Africa thanks... they even stole US for fucks sake!!!
