Akala - Fire In The Booth Cypher

[@Im118ish]

The other emcees were back there contemplating quitting while Akala was at the mic 🤣

[@RyanGiggsOBE]

Akala was the highlight of the whole FITB. Loved the fact he came with mature meaningful bars and great flow, and was then followed by rappers just saying the same old shit. Akala is the greatest UK rapper by a long way, deserves to be up there with the all time greats

[@iqrafarooq9332]

RyanGiggsOBE what about lowkey brother ?!

[@RyanGiggsOBE]

Not a big fan of lowkey, some of his stuff I dont really agree with. Also as a rapper I find he style a bit boring, I can only listen to a few tracks and I have to change to someone else. Akala experiments with different style and his flow is insane. Lowkey is good, but for me he lacks that magic

[@iqrafarooq9332]

ahhh fair, but lowkey is still the best for me by a country mile, and what stuff dont you agree with ? RyanGiggsOBE

[@bhuddahigh]

yeah man u kno that making them look like fools talking about skengs n robbin n shottin jus makes them all look absolutely pathetic

[@andrewconnolly4705]

Yep agreed

[@Promar22]

"you might score but you got no skill, lineker" hahah the way this guy is able to blend/change the mood of his rhymes is genius!

[@lalos9782]

This guy has ridiculous flow. Who knows how he breathes

[@TheMRcurtis18]

'Who came top of the pack? It's a fact, I didn't have to pretend that I do sell crack' so true respect to akala

[@njareer]

Its difficult to stand listening to the radio when you've experienced music and talent like this... Its unbelievable. He covers just as much or even more in 5mins than what I've learnt in first term in uni.

[@headspop]

Akala is low-key dissing all the other rappers in the room and non of them have any idea

[@eleanorgames2857]

🙌🙌

[@sphinxx8881]

I was thinking exactly this looooool

[@saifa6933]

Stormzy walking around going through his phone trying to look for lyrics and spits nothing. Akala comes out let's his mind speak out, that's a real MC.

[@eleanorgames2857]

🤣🤣🤣

[@leannedickie]

Clocked that.

[@shonaedwards183]

That's a fact I clocked stormy aswell well spotted

[@honkykong7389]

Educational rap is so dope. Give kids something to use.

[@antonygardner7837]

imagine getting into an argument with him lol

[@dansmith5536]

😂

[@AnthonyShuker]

@Matthew Henderson nope. It's easy to argue politics with Akala as they have nothing to say except play victim and just sit in an echo chamber. Tommy Robinson isnt stabbing kids in London ever day or raping kids in Rotherham is he?

[@palmeristo]

So are you saying Akala or black people specifically are doing these things? Every race has a cunt in it so please don't be that guy lol

[@leonbrooks2107]

Anthony no he is just in prison for nearly causing a miscarriage of justice and letting rapists go free. London has had Gangs and gang violence for centuries and there has always been indicators that show the cause.

[@leon6777]

@@AnthonyShuker Glasgow has a knife crime equal or greater to that of London based on % and it isn't black youths doing it in scotland. I mean I'm just paraphrasing something akala has said numerous times much more eloquently than me, just watch his Jon snow interview on knife crime or the one he does with piers Morgan on the same topic as he goes into more points than I can and in a better way. Just listen, it's easy.

[@mrlibraon135]

phenomenal. akala is a monster

[@paulnewman1699]

This is just untouchable how talented is this guy????

[@KnownEpidemic]

I've seen people calling Bugzy Malone, Skepta, Ghetts and others the best in the UK but personally, they don't come close to artists like Akala & Mic Righteous.

[@KnownEpidemic]

Lowkey is in my top 3 alongside Mic Righteous and Akala. And Immortal Technique isn't from the UK man lol. But I'm a big fan (I even met him back in 2012 at his show).

[@MrMidgetman3]

+KnownEpidemic agreed with everything you two said. Akala, Mic and Lowkey get overlooked because of the content they spit.

[@PhBtO101]

+MrMidgetman3 I don't know much about Lowkey or Mic Righteous, but the thing about Akala is while he is a great rapper with great flow and lyricism, his songs aren't all that hot beyond the rapping, right? Skepta's gotta be up there though for me. The way he delivered Nasty... So much conviction in it... Better than Akala's verse on the beat in this cypher imo.

[@dannygarrity9602]

in my opinion i disagree because skepta and jme was both on a track and smashed it through the roof for only a 2 half min rap.

[@gileschenery3645]

+KnownEpidemic Immortal Technique went on Info Wars and did an interview with Alex Jones

[@ATBeats93]

Soon as I heard stormzy get the best reaction for talking about a selfie, I knew I had to find this. Big up Akala as always n thanks to the uploader for cutting out the shit.

[@FJ-hz4bh]

"I've got more rhymes than a Chinese got dollars, you won't get that line 'cos you're not scholars. So which MC can touch mine? Who done off the EDL guy with one line?"

[@b11k22]

"The weakest one in the room is the loudest"... gives the mic to Bella Gotti

[@KaizerMan]

Lol but to be fair this was the first I heard of her in this cypher and she was pretty good though in terms of flow and punchlines. The only thing I dislike is she seems like a rip off of other female rappers like Lady of Rage and Lil Kim because rather than saying anything original she's just talking about sex and money and being a gangsta hoe

[@JazzarBizzle2006]

Awkward 😂😂

[@pleasure.93]

did u mean Stormzy?

[@KaizerMan]

Hipster Life Stormzy was easily the weakest in the room tbh.

[@terra2805]

b11k22 😂😂😂 👌

[@palmeristo]

I'll say it again, Akala is EXTREMELY underrated compared to what kids listen to nowadays, then again would they be able to comprehend what he's talking about..

[@eleeaislam1]

They should listen to Akala over other grime artists. If they can even comprehend a fraction of what he is saying they would have increased their intelligence

[@Im118ish]

It's not for youngins unless they're hungry for knowledge... "I never heard that word/name/place before~ let me look it up" type bars. Akala will even have to 30+ year old heads researching shit 🙃

[@skunkshmuggler]

Mans amazing , its a shame that he doesnt get the attention he deserves .

[@South_Central_Southsea]

Uncle Akala da flow father.

[@mecsoljae]

Akala and Lowey are the 2 greatest rappers of all time

[@verbaldestruction1]

Lowky still not close

[@stillnesssolutions]

“I’m so sick I don’t spit, I throw up”

[@av6966]

*5 Years on* They say the fire Akala started in that booth still burns today!

[@gunner9438]

It is still burnin' blud.

[@hamzabasha1]

Thank you for this. Having to skip those other imitators would of been difficult. Is that ghetts fella wearing a bullet proof vest and a backpack? what an absolute joke of a human.

[@123G-r4d]

I literally loled at your comment, was thinkin the same thing

[@Marshmobilise]

ghetts been on them drugs, he's gon totally whack, thinkin he in ISIS or sum other millitia. nigga look at his beard, he defo on the no-fly list.

[@spamandegg6663]

Ghetts is talented don't chat anonymously.

[@Marshmobilise]

dnt get it twisted bruv, ghetto is hard as fuck, but lets be real it's been time since artillery or fuck radio, literally cannot name any of his recent songs, hes not been gd since calm before the storm, he's fallen off in a big way darg but 2000 & life stil hard af, n he went hard on the cypher i werent talkin bout his lyrical content but my man looks like he's bout to blown up a train stil

[@jefferyposnan9543]

Like A Bossaru ghetts is a goon my gran could produce better bars

[@zonedin1842]

RESPECT AKALA PURE SKILL ON THE MIC

[@nzal653]

''I got more lines than the chinese got dollars'' Well damn.. that was a clever line.

[@travisyanez7422]

The thing is with Akala is that he is one o the most truthful real and best grime rappers out there nowdays that he could just easily rip u a new one and turn into a demon in mid sentence he's that good but the guy is more than that he's a blody prophet in some kind another. I think he demonstrates a part of his ability to rip these ass hole rappers a new one as well, its great I think he is even commenting on some of the other rappers in the room. But discreetly obviously. What a blody legend him and Lowkey are the two real MC's of modern grime and that's the truth.

[@theenigmazz2352]

Your grammar is terrible but I agree, you forgot about mic righteous btw

[@ronburgundinho3929]

“There’s no pen, yet I, stay with the force like Jedi” 🙌🏼 educating these fools. Akala the scholar. Best about since he bust the door in 04.

[@jamieldn]

Man, fuck the booth... there's fire in my room and I think Akala started it.

[@connerbyrne1]

4.24 onward's is just incredible especially the start had me gob smacked.

[@dazjacktar6202]

Saw Akala in Falmouth, such a small crowd for such a talent. Sad state of affairs, but he just owns.

[@dannygarcia3863]

He was the best in that room.

[@anonymousperson3789]

Say not more brother !

jake shuttlesworth what do u mean?

ZaksWorld Nah he was referring to the look stormzy gave Akala.

[@mendezbest7669]

Spits fire, truth, and knowledge...UK's no. 1 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@katythebear]

Knowledge is power! I was gna cut that up as well. Cheers u saved me the job! in my eyes the best part of the cypher by far! Well chuffed when he did the first bars this Geezas on another planet to the rest of them! Get your dictionary's out!!!!

[@samnrob1]

My pleasure!

[@SOL-UK]

think he's good check out Lowkey, Lowkey also did a track with Immortal Technique "Voices of The Voiceless" if you like Akala you will love these two.

[@Cyrusislikeawsome]

[@reputablecontributor2698]

I seen this master piece of a specimen at Newtown, Sydney Australia was fucken awesome . 10 years of akala got a photo and what not, dudes top notch genuine gentlemen

[@Kenzothebully]

Akala was to smart to give a record deal Just think about that for a minute, The guy is a wordsmith in ways alot of people don't understand hence why know one would risk giving him a deal because what the government want the government get! And he could of been one of the most powerful voices to over come them, I'm so glad I'm one of the little few who know his music and his mission off the mic aswell, he really is "the bigger, wiser older brother" 💯🇬🇧😎

[@danielharris7433]

Akala representing the British lyrical talent

[@karareilly6797]

Pure genius. I have three degrees and I don't know shit compared to Uncle Akala. Peace.

[@Tom-iv6kh]

Pogbars he's got both now, knowledge is power

[@platinumw3]

you can see the unease of the other rappers, i sense that they are hating on him, he bar flows over ran the other so call rapper, lol i listen to them i want to hit road and go on crazy i listen to akala i want to learn !

[@tomdabomb999]

I think Blizzard is definitely enjoying his stuff, and I'm sure Mic righteous would if he wasn't so distracted trying to remember his stuff. Bit unfair to say they're ALL hating on him

[@moiramackenzie4025]

There is just no words to comprehend his talent here he is on another level

[@LivegoodWilliam]

Akala, Wretch 32, Dave and mic righteous are like the mount Rushmore of rap right now....who saw stormzys face it looked like he thought oh shit, how do you follow that?

[@introspectah]

You dunno Cyrus Malachi & Melanin 9? Man you gotta peep game!

[@taranbasra8549]

'The weakest one in the room is the loudest' 💯💯

[@harrybailey6297]

The reason akala will always be the best mc in the uk 👆

[@43Reality]

Awesome as always, big respect to Akala and its down to all his fans to peruse their own individual ambitions without compromise. He is an example to show it can be done, persistence and self belief, Thank you for keeping me going. Another person who deserves recognition in my opinion is LIFE MC, his solo work is of a similar level. Rainbow Warriors stand to attention!

[@arjunchopra689]

they ain't boppin to him cos they're trying to catch every word!

[@th3man34]

his Rhymes are so real and relevant to this day and age I feel it in my mind body and soul

[@jak3brap10]

Definitely the best in the cypher

[@simonsilva5313]

Stormzy giving akala dirty looks, Stormzy is not even close to Akala's level of ability

[@palmeristo]

The rap he does at 3:19 is outstanding!!

[@BLBeats94]

who done off the EDL guy with one line! lol that had me rolling

[@zonedin1842]

love to know theres someone as sick as this on the scene, resepect! the man has wise words in reality and in my opinion knows what hes talking about most of the time, which is better than alot of mcs that talk shite and spit the odd sick lines!
