Akala FIRE IN THE BOOTH pt 1 Reaction W/ Black Pegasus & VR$E

[@leonabrams6471]

Part 4 is a master piece!!! It would definitely be a great reaction

[@davidgay5960]

Most black people around the world knows more about America history,than black Americans,black Americans don't know nothing about other black people in the Carribbean or Africa or anywhere else in the world for that matter don't even know about their own they'll even struggle to name to name 10 of there own cities letdown!!

[@allow-itman9749]

Hell yes it is, not only a rap but an education

[@JCRule69]

But let the man enjoy the journey and the progression.

[@NeilLewis77]

Jesus christ if i have to hear one more american black man talk about thomas sowell like hes some wise sage im gonna fricken scream! Thomas Sowell is a lying cherry picking nasty piece of work. google him. look at how other prominant black civil rights activists talk about him. hes a professor who talks very well and his voice has such gravitas that he seems so wise and clever. but hes actually the worst kind of person. hes spent 50 years telling young black americans that theres no such thing as racism and that its black peoples own fault that they are poor. as an educated english man, even i know this is bollocks. if your a black american, ask yourself have you ever expeirenced racism in your country?..... yes?... then thomas sowell is a liar isnt he. thomas sowell is very rich and he thinks anyone can just get rich if they want to. but they dont want to because of rap music and tattoos and what he calls "black culture". its ludicrous. its not black peoples fault that they found themselves as second class citizens in the 20th century. its very much white peoples fault. that is EXACTLY what akala is saying in his lyrics. Akala recomends reading X, Garvey, King, Ali, etc. Akala would never recomend a snake oil salesman like Sowell. "donald trump is a great man and will make a great president" thomas sowell 2016

[@coolkid7765]

Akala is not just a rapper, he is Activist, educator, poet, journalist, author, songwriter. He has been invited to Universities where he does lectures about black culture and our African heritage.

[@Bearlissimo]

And Shakespeare... He's a Double Doctorate & his Oxford Lecture is on KZbin... He did it in a hoodie because he ain't standing nonsense.

[@Veeliscious]

He's amazing. I love listening to him speaking, he's so articulate and eloquent

[@2462bf2]

He's an incredible person

[@illiJomusic]

i think its about time you get on some uk rap, you should check Akala Fire in the booth part 4 Avelino ft Dave -Cassius Clay Fire in the booth - Avelino ft Wretch 32 Dave- Psycho

[@carlbernard7615]

I agree with all of these.

[@elliotodu1105]

Return of Lowkey needs to be added to this list

[@Dansince91]

Anything Avelino.

[@stuartbrierley103]

Part 4. Best rapping you'll ever hear

[@carlbernard7615]

Akala should be considered a national treasure

Fo sure… But he won’t because he challenges the institutionalised establishment and they fear him, his knowledge and voice…

I’ve never seen anyone twist akala’s bars into such blindly conservative points of views. It’s actually kinda talented how willfully blind BP can be.

[@itsAchillesS]

my thoughts exactly

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

I don't know that it's wilful, I don't know much about him but it sounds like privilege to me.

[@Hackaway]

I was expecting what was coming when I took a look at his other content but I was still shocked when he quoted Thomas Sowell in an Akala video, that's just wild.

[@cortexmc13]

Akala has held lectures at Oxford and pretty sure he has his doctorate in history. One of the most knowledgable and enlightened MC's out there. Lowkey is as well.

[@alexisdonaldson3430]

Great reaction. You should do the others especially part 4. Also Lowkeys FITBs are classics also.

[@Bearlissimo]

Wretch-32 also

[@Sharmac77]

Terrible reaction. Kept mentioning kayne whos speaking shit for controversy and self-investment, never lived at the bottom, while akala is rapping from intellect and life experience.

[@darrylwyatt7565]

Akala is a different breed, a mathematical genius, a scholar, teacher, Businessman and one of if not the most lyrically dangerous MC to ever live.

[@j__s8802]

His FITBs and DD are total flame. Can't wait to see them all on here. Hit the Mike Reckless FITBs too! Welcome back, homie!

[@seelowartist3595]

Akala is a good friend of mine he is one of the greatest conscious rappers in the world very revolutionary and a very humble guy who’s extremely passionate about spreading knowledge

[@elliotodu1105]

please do all 4 parts they are all amazing in there own right

[@aarronedge7810]

Akala part 4 is an absolute master peice, all of his fire in booths are amazing but the 4th one hes way more polished and switches between soany flows and classic veats

[@chriswilson7391]

Do part 4, it's one of the best things I've ever heard and I don't even like rap!

[@nickwatts9012]

I've been waiting for you to discover akala... he is a monster

Akala is a legend, rapper, poet, mathematician, and playwright. His FITB are amazing..

[@samcarter1110]

UK rabbit hole!!, dave, akala, wretch 32,avelino, love this

[@grandmabaddie]

Lowkey and Akala are the old school goats of u.k rap. This is 10+ years old. I highly recommend Akala F.I.T.B. part 4. Also Lowkey Obamanation. Both highly educated rappers, always spit truths, infact my Lowkey Obamanation i recommend was band in America. Thank you for a great reaction ❤

[@londongirl111]

Mic Righteous: fire in the booth: part 2, 3 and 4 is a must

[@joeboobyer5362]

Akala is a friend of a friend, university lecturer and very educated on top of this

[@Stigga111]

I love people reacting to akala for the first time ❤️

[@Stigga111]

Akala has his own masters... never been on day time radio because of what he says

[@84stretch]

Uk hip hop will surprise a lot of people.

[@telmack7838]

Akala has been preaching this for decades, and thats why he's independent and always will be, no day time radio but thats not what matters. Like kanye now being called crazy etc in America,he's not but big cooperations and media dont want the truth they want bubblegum pop rap for the tiktok teens 💷 Like akala Ye is an absolute legend! Respect from the 🇬🇧 my guys 👊🏼

[@mrtibbz10]

Kanye is fucking mental though

[@mooncalf_4534]

Kanye put a bag on his head and said he loves Hitler lmfao, Akala and Kanye are pretty different and only one of them is deserving of respect.

[@elstavoloco]

Haiti outlawed slavery before Britain, and not only that, but the Haitian Revolution is the only known case where slaves overthrew and then became the government.

[@e-mc679]

Shout out to Black P. This was my request, my name is Ethan bro. I couldn't fit all that information into the Cash app at the time for whatever reason ! Welcome to the world of UK hip hop, plenty more where that comes from. You'll never look back

[@jonfoster7874]

Uk has passed USA in the rap game. Facts

Do part 4 like lots have said its really is different and mesmerising 🔥

[@illiJomusic]

I love part 2

[@firstsurname7099]

I'd have been really interested to her what your guest had to say... a conversation is best when folk listen and respond, ya know... but kewl reaction Akala is like the godfather of UK conscious rap... rap is a US medium but it has influenced so many disenfranchised people around the world, most of whom are aware of world history (which includes that of the USA) Re: ending slavery - Africans, AfroBrits and freed people from the various americas built solidarity with 'white' Irish &British working class activists, feminists (before they were called that), religious/faith based campaigners and others in the UK to influence 'owners' & other politcal classes in the UK to make slavery technically illegal in the UK before other parts of the (ex)colonies. Those same owners/political classes however continued to profit from slavery in the americas throughout its existance and still profit from those structures to this day and the UK government continued to pay lost 'earnings' into C21st, reparations to slave owning families only ended in 2015.... so yeh and nah.

[@nathanbeasley1234]

Your reactions and insights are amazing! Do part 4 its amazing you can see the progress in his craft, he does a spoken word piece at the end which is worth the watch alone! Do it!

[@Notinservice420]

Is funny that the original was uploaded to KZbin in 2011. So 12 years before all your current problems in the states. This guy was calling it out.

[@lokibrux]

If parts of history offend then that's a good thing. We are a lot less likely to repeat those things. Don't cancel it. Learn from it. Correct, the tax payers of England finished paying of the debt for abolishing slavery in 2014.

[@gavinblack450]

Do some Lowkey - fire in booth 1,2 - return of Lowkey and Ahmed. You’ll enjoy.

[@3nglishd4nk49]

Great Britain was the first country to abolish slavery they made the rest of their allies agree to sign a treaty because they was the ones who ruled the sea’s at the time so it was beneficial for other country’s to agree because a lot of the trade routes was controlled by the British navy 🇬🇧 they was the most feared on the 7 sea’s and other countries wouldn’t be able to trade freely without any repercussions! Do some research it’s really interesting history to see how far we’ve come ✊🏽

If I remember correctly from an akala lecture. Haiti was the 1st country to outlaw slavery 👍

[@Notinservice420]

So he’s not saying Britain was the first to end slavery. He’s saying the first people forced into slavery were the poor British. Around 13 minutes in.

It wasn't Britain that ended slavery first, it was England, which is part of the island of Great Britain. This was long before there was a United Kingdom, which is all of it apart from the Republic of Ireland. It was after the battle of Hastings in 1066 that the new English king, William the conqueror made slavery illegal in England.

[@kevh953]

PART 4✌️

[@therappats946]

Akala All 4 fire in the booth is dope asf. Slavery started in mesopotamia 3500 BC, so 5000 years before USA existed.(it def either started un US our ended it) Denmark end slavery 1792 Sweden forbid slavery like 1300 but didn't end there, Sweden are little Like US,alot of our history isnt talked about, trying to be perfect, hypocrite. but we where really early with rap, especially mainstream.:) The far richest black people are from Nigeria, Dangote 15 ,billion, Rabu 10 billion.aldo fourth richest black I's from Nigeria aduenga,3rd Smith from US,5th butsuba South Africa. So black billionaires in US are entertainment, sports, Jordan, Tiger Woods, Rihanna, lebron James etc. Like he said in UK Chinese Indian earns most median income before white.(Asians earns most overall in The world I think And Only about 6 percent of African captives were sent directly to North America. But UK brought millions of slaves to Us, white people aswell actually. Forgotten The White European Slaves of Islam Long before aswell. Also 1,500,000 million white slaves were shipped to North Africa. The Inca Empire are rather fascinating never practiced slavery. Countries That Wre Never Colonized I's Japan, Liberia, Bhutan, Thailand, Iran, Nepal,tonga, china,corea. Always Good with history:) But today you can't talk about anything so not gonna solve anything,poor people killing poor basically everywhere. In Sweden we never had gangster rap until last 15 year's And so Many got killed lately. Before it was Moore like "fight the system" mentality. We couldn't use*African swedish* that would be racist adf, that US still use term race is crazy. When you swedish citizens you swedish!(offciurse their is racist here aswell, Maybee Moore racism Not depends on skin color but now in Us you use term different) But we grewing up listen to 2pac was Moore brought kids together so extremely hard understand people treated shit because of skin color because never an issue our something we talked about Moore we -vs them.

[@worthalook4870]

UK is commonly thought of as the first to abolish slavery, but Haiti abolished it decades earlier. Haiti has been left out a lot throughout history. They were instrumental in starting the ball rolling on breaking the transatlantic slave trade.

[@deexan]

He has a track called 'Find No Enemy' which fits exactly in with your final comment here about your enemy being yourself. Worth a listen!
