Akala - Fire in the Booth 1 | Reaction ft. Dice7820

For this reaction to Akala - Fire in the Booth 1, my friend and guest, Dice7820, is joining me. Akala is becoming my favorite UK rapper. His raps have a deep message about politics, racism, equality, freedom, education, and economics. This UK rapper is a knowledge seeker who rhymes fire lyrics and spits deep and truthful bars. Independent artists are often so underrated because they aren't being advertised by a record label and usually aren't played on the radio. Akala is a special talent.

I meant to say that Marcus Garvy was a political activist, not a political scientist haha. I also misinterpreted moat to mean mound, like a burial mound. Sorry if that confused anyone. I hope you enjoy the video, and go subscribe to and follow Dice7820😁👇 kzbin.info

[@united46]

Go read up on the great wall of Benin

[@yeahnoworrieso3600]

Huge love from the Uk. Your takes are really well observed, this is my first time on your channel. Will definately watch the others.

[@RobertSmith-de7pt]

Can tell use generally enjoyed this and actually about the words unlike most looking for a sick beat and not even listening to the lyrics

[@PieasEliyasReal]

Glad to have made this video with you bro bro

[@YoungbloodPoetry]

Me too! Let's do it again sometime

[@PieasEliyasReal]

Gladly

[@dhamp_]

You should absolutely watch his lecture at Oxford. It's all about historical revisionism.

[@YoungbloodPoetry]

😱 whoa really???? Wow

[@dhamp_]

@@YoungbloodPoetry yep, it's about an hour long, and seriously educational.

[@mikeshnitser]

Akala's FITB 4 is also incredible (I know you already reacted). So many flow changes over so many beats, and still educating and spitting fire. This dude is impressive and so talented. As always, awesome reaction!

[@malikhinds2355]

I wish i could like this video twice, once for the reaction, once for the madara plug

[@keef82]

Love your reaction videos, your buddy is the smartest ‘comic relief’ guy I’ve ever heard. You’re both ace

[@andrewward7033]

That was straight 🔥💯 thanks for your reaction brother 🙏UK rappers are the truth

[@bimwho]

The bar before the 'feces' bit always gets me. "When our grandparents came here to Britain, if you had a criminal record you couldn't get in" the idea that these people were coming over couldn't be trusted was wrong, basically all that mistrust and hate was put on a bunch of hardworking people who was allowed over here.

[@Goober-o6p]

It was put on anyone different. Irish, Scottish, poc, Eastern European. People fear what they don't know or understand. He mentions in another FITB that pocs are now doin the same thing to the Polish immigrants. Too many ficus on what happened to jus their group. Education is the 🔑. Ignorance kills

[@jezaspinall2051]

So happy to see young people get this. Reassuring

[@anneanne9009]

This guy is so knowledgeable on any format!

[@akirasan3343]

Bro you should do more uk reactions, there are some fire people just like akala , Lowkey fitb , mic reckless fitb , and many more im 💯 sure you will enjoy and we would love your reaction to them 👌🏻 Good luck

[@NickRucks]

This is so HARD and intellectual! I love it!

[@zoned_n_stoned4514]

His sister was in a massive 90s rap group called so solid crew

[@GOTEmusic]

Dope collab!!! 🙏✌️💜

[@Reuth_]

Wu Tang Klan the hip hop that made him fall in love with rhyming

[@senpai_lol8171]

Yes My guy I asked for this on your Q&A post for you to do all parts

[@krystagreen3094]

UK letter boxes are basically holes in the front door, so the faeces would be on your hallway floor - not actual boxes like US mailboxes outside the house

[@TomCrellin1]

Let’s get it 🔥 This won’t disappoint!

[@halcyonic6666]

Sorry I just commented on a video saying watch this, you came you saw you kicked some arse

[@NickRucks]

Gotta respect the truth!

[@thseaweed6334]

It is so wonderful to hear how indigos percive the word. You guys are the future, and it looks bright! Get it fellas!!! One love

[@j1g2w3]

Love your reactions dude, this one is fire!

[@brianjanson3498]

You have got to watch that Oxford lecture. It is amazing.

[@andychristoph9836]

great reaction, great content

[@andymacgregor5730]

Akala FITB 2 next please :)

[@staycalmandreflect5296]

This brother has a voice that can take him places. Dope Reaction and you two should more collab.

[@YoungbloodPoetry]

Lol!!! Yeah his voice is awesome

[@zoned_n_stoned4514]

He is places. The guy has done everything lol. Even been a footballer

[@j1g2w3]

Just a couple of thoughts on what you said in the video... In the UK a letter box is a slot with a little flap cut into your front door. So if someone puts shit through there it's literally going straight into your house onto your floor. So like even worse than what you guys were imagining. Also I didn't really get what you guys were saying about the moat, how it was maybe a burial ground or a battle site or something. I maybe misunderstood what you were saying but a moat is a ditch dug around walls to help keep out attackers. I think the point of those bars is that these supposedly "primitive" people dug this moat 20 metres wide and 17 metres deep around a city 400 miles square, which is just an insane feat of engineering by any standard.

[@YoungbloodPoetry]

Ooooooooh I was thinking of a burial mound. My mistake. Thanks for the info😄👍. And yeah the letterbox thing was worse ghan we imagined

[@ilesalmo7724]

If you want to know more about it, the name of the moat is Sungbo's Eredo en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sungbo%27s_Eredo

[@haloksable]

Primitive?

[@j1g2w3]

@@haloksable From the British colonialist narrative at the time, absolutely.

[@haloksable]

@@j1g2w3 I absolutely agree. Forgive me, I misread your words.

[@ukmush]

He was inspired alot by his sister who is a artist called ms dynamite

[@YoungbloodPoetry]

Thanks for the info

[@ukmush]

Liked your reaction so going through your back catalogue, Akala also has a daily duppy its only 3mins to show he can spit aswell should check it out if you havent, loving your reactions will be looking out for your drops from now on

[@Rigguh]

Dawg I love your videos, the way you actually catch the bars and break stuff down, will hopefully see you at the top in the near future! With that being said pls have a look into wretch 32 fire in the booths, all freestyle and it’s a lyrical masterpiece to say the least

[@YoungbloodPoetry]

Ive got a lot of requests for wretch32, so I'll add it to the list😁👍

[@Rigguh]

@@YoungbloodPoetry lovely stuff, you definitely won’t be disappointed!

[@jacksmith4460]

1 down arrow must have shares in the prison system

[@oluwatobiogundele8812]

I know I'm super late but I think the remains he was talking about was Queen Sheebah's Castle which was mentioned a few times in the bible.

[@DanielleSimone21]

The programme he’s referring to, I think, is Africa’s great civilisations by Henry Louis gates jr, if I’m remembering correctly (I hope so) Watching from Northampton UK

[@YoungbloodPoetry]

Thanks for the info!!!

[@DanielleSimone21]

@@YoungbloodPoetry one episode is also on Timbuktu, which he also mentioned in part 4. If I’m incorrect on this documentary series being the one with the moat, let me know and I will find it and link you 🙏🏽

[@zoned_n_stoned4514]

Check out akala-visions live on radio one 😎👊 not many people have reacted to it, it's a story of a time in akalas life over 5 verses its really good how he has wrote it 😊

[@skyebates246]

In the UK when we say Asian people we mean Indians as well. He's talking about the two brothers that are Indian Asian to mean Indian you are probably Chinese.

[@TheThriller4]

🔥 🔥 🔥

[@Smoothraving]

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS 🔥🔥🔥

[@zenguidancetarot]

It's odd that British people know as much if not more than Americans about US history.. I just watched another reaction to this and they had their jaws in the floor learning their history from a Brit!

[@76mrpdiddly]

Btw a letter box in the UK is a slot in your front door!

[@GreenFiro82]

🔥🔥🔥

[@cyrus2728]

The guy on the right reminds me of Prince,not a diss just a thought.

[@YoungbloodPoetry]

I'm sure he'll take that as a compliment. He's from Minnesota, where Prince is highly revered

[@clintwarford2270]

Love what you guys are saying. Tough to minimize drugs though. Just to say you "understand how they can lead to bad" things is a huge undersell. You should watch the documentary on Seattle's homeless situation. Social workers, police, doctors, nurses explain how bad it is. They say that those THOUSANDS of homeless, living in tent cities, are all on serious drugs. Not just a high percentage, but ALL of them. Keep up the good work.

[@YoungbloodPoetry]

I just meant that me taking a drug only hurts me, while r*ping and k*lling hurts others. Drugs are definitely harmful, but i was agreeing with Akala when he said that the justice system's priorities aren't in check.

[@ktwine7994]

A lot of people that find themselves homeless turn to drugs, it's understandable and a very sad situation.

[@liberationcollective5653]

Did you learn about the moat? The city ? Amazing isn’t it ?

[@craigcooper9801]

You need to do mic righteous fitb 3 or Margate boy or because I love you

[@stevecrook8994]

You should read his book natives it's very good

[@gavinwilson2071]

You know we don't have mail boxes ghere right? Our letter boxes are in our front doors and anything that comes through it will land in your hallway or living room.

[@alexhumphreys5243]

Akala talks at Oxford university he is a historian

[@martinvalentine9228]

More Shakespeare and Wu-Tang influenced in the style and 2Pac in the content. IMO.

[@diarmuidstafford2436]

gotta react to dave fire in the booth

[@raydingle91]

Part 4

[@YoungbloodPoetry]

Lol I've already reacted to part 4

[@Laura-sg6ss]

10:25 yeah I mean generally here we learn about the civil rights movement in North America which is great HHHHowever we don't learn about the movements in Britain (and there were many) because here they like to pretend it never happened. 🤔 which is an L coz you may grow up believing nothing ever happened. So it is bittersweet, but I mean they don't teach us all he talks about AT ALL but it allows an affinity to rise for our family across the pond. I wish we still had Saturday schools which were started by Blk Brits for Blk kids in the 70s and 80s so they would learn about their history (continent and diaspora) AND help with just their academia. In Britain, racism just doesn't even 😂😂 it's like air, well they TRY and say it is...🙂 kmtTTt

[@halcyonic6666]

But yeah wretch 32 avelino fire in the booth

[@YoungbloodPoetry]

Lol I already did

[@alexhumphreys5243]

Bail is free in the uk

[@svodcat7524]

Akala is influenced by dancehall artists a lot. The Jamacian influence on uk hiphop really cannot be understated, from influences, style, slang, everything. :)

[@YoungbloodPoetry]

Oh wow! I had no idea. Thanks for the info. The more I react to UK rap, tge more I learn

[@1TemplarKnight]

U gotta react to avelino and wretch32 fire in the booth now.....

[@richgreen9220]

No contest. AKALA leaves them two in the junior leagues. He's the best Rap artist on the planet right now with no close second. His skill and knowledge is too technical and sophisticated for 99% of Rap fans kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZi5i4Z_hd97Z9E
