Akala doesn't lie about his achievements , he's been to schools all over the world. I even met him at my secondary school (High school) and I was in a school for the naughty kids of my city, we only had 30 students and he took his whole day to chill with us, he's a real one.

[@chipsthedog1]

There's a video on KZbin of him rapping to a class if I remember rightly it's his first fire in the booth that he does. Wish he'd came to my school back in the day

[@perthfalcon]

Aye that's boss glad you got to connect with a king who wants you to find you're a king inside big up from aus

[@leegreenhalgh6677]

Akala has addressed both Oxford and Cambridge Student Union's, published writer with a Doctorate BBC Newsnight this man strides the Universities of the UK like a Collasus "Murders syllables strangles sentences"

[@salahad-din4114]

Did you lads listen to Akala though? His work to take kids off the track they are on is highly respected. I tell my kids and youngers not do do what we done. Was a football hooligan in the 89/90s until I joined the army. Now run a company. It's our responsibility to educate those on a bad path. Looking back I had been an arse. Happy if I change as many kids lives as Akala

[@Swillkitch]

Same i was in a pupil referral unit and he came and did a workshop with us about literature he really changed the trajectory of my life.

[@michaelgibbs9036]

The man literally is one of the globes leading voices on Shakespeare. He’s a regular panellist on national political debates. He lectures PHD students in the most prestigious universities yet can still drop 10 minutes of greeze on multiple beats with multiple flows

[@jorgeguidos]

You should take a look at his Oxford Lecture bro, he was lecturing for professors about African history in a hoodie..:) Great reaction (as always), I knew you'll love this one..

[@laurencerene8567]

Guys brain is built different. Eye opener

[@Necron00b]

Akala should be heard by all people. Real history and lessons wrapped in incredible bars and cadences.

[@laurencerene8567]

Doesn’t say what he doesn’t know. But he knows a lot. So much knowledge and truths

[@jimboardman9904]

Ive listened to hundreds of uk rap reactions from Americans . This bro is the number one best ever reaction .

[@Huggz87]

Yeah usually the accent is usually too hard for them to understand if all fully. But Kso seems to catch it all

[@DoggfatherUK]

Definitely

[@FreddFredBurger]

You can spend years researching and looking through what Akala has done. He’s a true philosopher of our time

[@samomnisis]

It's so refreshing to see real reactions from someone who actually has a deep knowledge of hip-hop, respect Big Dippa 🤙🏼 By far my favourite reaction you've done, you matched akala's masterpiece with your reaction my guy

[@katedabuller]

💯

Faxxxxx

[@columcunningham4458]

29:00 in. His reaction should be a gif / or meme or what ever. Love it.

[@rachelwease6210]

The last part always brings tears to my eyes KSO 😂 we’re with you 😂

[@andygee8716]

What you describe as, "a bottle with a rag in it and you light the rag and throw it", isn't Napalm. That's called a Molotov Cocktail. Napalm was dropped from planes as a substance that ignited and burned on contact! Trees, forests, ..HUMAN FLESH!!!

[@scorpionformula]

Will always remember the kid running in the photo

[@andygee8716]

@@scorpionformula One of the most famous photographs of the 20th century.

[@DaveyHotrod]

This may be blocked but a Molotov with crushed polystyrene packing in it is...I'm a pacifist btw, I have that Vive le Rock t-shirt from the 7Os, only reason I know that. Peace everyone...x

[@benbarnard4233]

Love seeing Akala reactions, especially by people who truly appreciate lyricism. There are many great FITB but this one right here is untouchable. The first part was legendary but the second part was truly out of this world and your reaction at the end 😢 proved how amazing it was, when you fully absorb the words he is articulating effortlessly. You got another subscriber after that. Top notch 🙌🏻

[@antonytheolddog8626]

Listen mate..this is by far the best analysis and reaction to our boy akala by a country mile. I'm a old school head. Grew up with early 80s rap. Like rammezelle and cold crush, I saw schooly d live, mantronix live just ice live, the goddam beastie boys live. Alaka should be played to ever guy my age, just for education purposes. Brilliant reaction my friend.. Much love from the UK .😎🤟🙏

[@user-sm4fp2jo1o]

Respect bro. Don't usually like reactions, because they don't actually react or comment, but I really enjoyed your breakdowns. Very authentic 👍

[@michaelmason4794]

So good to see a reaction from someone who understands everything Akala is saying

[@LeeXRV]

Mic Righteous, Akala, Low Key, Wretch32, Giggs, Ghetts and my favourite Bugsy Malone FITB are all amazing.

[@PeterLarter81]

Let’s go!! Been waiting for this masterpiece

[@saraplunkett2285]

Wish you didn't skip him talking about the second piece you would have understood the context better. You need to react to his Oxford lecture, his discussion on use of the n word and read his book Natives

[@PeterLarter81]

Yea I was gutted he skipped that

[@jimkhana007]

Yeah, thought the same. Would have given a much better context,

[@RhoneM]

As someone mentioned, Akala's lectured at Oxford University on African history and the black diaspora as a whole. He's also done a TEDx talk on hip-hop and it's lyrical routes.

[@momackone]

I used to go raving with his dad. Akala. What an intelligent, talented young man.

[@justinbrown471]

I've seen many reaction videos to Akala FITB part 4. This is by far the best ever, granted it was longer than most, but your appreciation for all his lyrical content was second to none. Great reaction video!

[@cjdunn95]

Thank you Kso, your breakdown and reaction to this masterpiece was enjoyable and appreciated. Shout out to the UK, much love to all from New Zealand.

[@Kolor-kode]

I've watched this FITB countless times, I've seen a metric fuck ton of reactions to it, but this is by far the best and most honest one yet!

[@lou8756]

"if I could create a rapper it would be this" 👏🏻👏🏻

[@Duppy1985]

I beeen waiting for this one!! When i seen the length of the video i already knew it was gonna be a maaad one! 🔥🔥 only just tuned in so will give more feedback once ive watched! 👌🏼👌🏼 lets go!

[@liamdiacci]

You're a legend in my books for going in-depth on the Grandfather Akala, I consider him one of my elders, he bestows knowledge.

[@Jr-zn7zy]

when you said this is god level rapping i felt that 🙌🏾💯

[@MetalRocksMe.]

You’ve got nearly 60K subs You’re in a league of your own KSO!!! Top top reactor

[@DarkfallSandyRavage]

Have to do Mic righteous FITBs next if you a fan of this concious rap

[@ExTAzY101]

For sure , same as Akala 4 legendary ones.

[@SJM4209]

For sure pls i love your reactions mic righteous is a one of a kind, especially 3 and 4 fitbs they hit different

[@jimkhana007]

I’m dropping everything I am doing to watch this RIGHT NOW! LETS GO! *shame you didn’t listen to the intro of his spoken word, would have given you a better context of the piece, but you still caught the theme. Fire Fire Fire, He is a scholar and has given lectures at Oxford and Cambridge, he has also participated in many political debates and also consulted at times for his thoughts / opinions on so many subjects. The guy is the epitome of righteousness yet can be so relatable on so many levels to so many people. He truly is a hip hop unicorn

[@newbienoob5938]

Akala strived to be where he is. His sister is Ms Dynamite she went mainstream when she dropped "it takes more" and won awards for it when he was trying to get in the business. Most people would have just jumped on a track with their award winning sister but he wanted to get in off his own achievements so he didn't do a track with her until he had made himself known in his own right, he didn't even really let anyone know she was his sister until he'd broken in on his own merit.

[@EverythingRowlz]

The part he takes from his novel leaves me speechless everytime. No one n i mean no one can touch akala

[@jackchallis9456]

Amazing reaction to the whole series, really enjoyed it. Try his Daily Duppy, you'll love it 💙💙

[@lelew430]

Oh my days...thank god you've done this one. I can't wait already 45 seconds in and excited already... love from Manchester UK 🇬🇧💖 x keep up the great work and reactions xx

[@henryannafi4873]

I'm so happy and excited right now that I'm bigging you up before I've even watched the reaction !

[@user-yk1fw2pf5y]

Shakespeare my guy. You the one to react to it, nobody else gone hear it properly

[@jlucie]

Lol, 51mins 🤯 🔥🔥🔥 reaction, thanks!

[@sirteabag8652]

Oh man i'm so Glad King KSO got round to this one, one of the best fire in the booths of all time, we need so Big Heath soon!!!!!

[@sirteabag8652]

P.S reactors see a 18 minute FITB and say "this is long, I'll try not to pause". Then Grandmaster Analyst KSO sees a 18 minute FITB and be breaking it down like a Rocket Scientist reviewing his Peers work. This channel is a gift to Hip Hop.

[@BlackBoye]

This is what I've been waiting for!

[@michaelwills409]

Been waiting for you to do this fire in the booth for ages. It's utter madness

[@stainlessdoom3433]

Thanks so much for this series bro

[@sarakidner]

Your passion & being so proudly yourself in your love of great art is inspiring to me brother

[@porksidewarrior]

Yes my brother,been waitin for this for time ,akala the man and so is the dipper 👊👊

[@Bnathann]

In a parallel universe KBD just died choking on his own durag 🤣

[@bujblack3355]

Killed me that!! 💀💀😂😂😂

[@unknownslugs8829]

Love the passion and energy you have watched the whole 51.00 best reactor by far keep grinding big love from uk 🇬🇧 🙏❤

[@stuartbrierley103]

The first part of this is the best rapping I've ever heard. I don't care what anyone says.

[@zicowalsh4412]

Akala is special geat reaction and how you got lost in it shows how good Akala is. Go mic righteous next fitb 1 - 4 another show of progression through a series.

[@bill2472]

America is not ready for Akala but im glad we have found one that is!

[@JJ-ic9rr]

You should check out his book. It’s called Natives. Half memoir, half commentary on British class structure and race.

[@MrShabbaaaa]

really good man, read it front to back during lockdown over a couple days

[@leonbrooks2107]

I’ve got the book and the Audiobook version. Akala himself narrated the Audiobook so it makes it an amazing listen when I’m driving for work.

[@djsubliminalreeve]

i read about history everyday and akala put so much history in to that spoken word that it always gives me tear and anyone that doesnt get tears has some deep down problems in the mind.

[@GeoBass_]

I thought I'd seen all the Akala reactions years ago, and in truth I originally found this channel when I was looking for Pete & Bas. But I have to say this is one of the best reactions, breakdowns, and reviews I've seen of part 4. Barely a bar that was missed, or underappreciated. Well worth the full 51 minutes

[@sambor]

Yessss. Been waiting for that reaction! I think you may check daily duppy series next once you run thorough the FITBs Lowkey is another God level MC with hell of a message

[@MrWestie1985]

I second the Lowkey recommendation 👍

[@thesleepyp6066]

i joined a patreon for the first time ever just to watch you react to this song. did not disappoint

[@apesism]

From the UK and I absolutely love your reactions

[@keironcameron252]

Been waiting for this one 🥳

[@dannythedoodle]

Yeah, that was bangin bro 👍🔥

[@chemscorner8322]

Yeah man Akala is phenomenal. He does lectures all over, he did do one at Oxford University which is on KZbin would highly recommend. So interesting!

[@janetkendall]

I love your reactions, I get educated, entertained and I giggle a lot… “ it’s over Jamal”… 😂 thanks

[@cory9083]

Akala is unrivalled. Kind of sits in a separate category (literally as he says). Lowkey is of that ilk though... take a look.

[@stainlessdoom3433]

Everyone watch the full reaction, it was amazing 50 minutes went past so quickly. Thanks for the video Brother

[@shakeel8618]

I been waiting for u to do this for a while, 🔥 reacting browski.

[@mathewgotts540]

Been waiting months for you to do this one! :)

[@Moroc9]

Akala would take the head off any American rapper, Facts!! No one can test him

[@jamesrapp9778]

Cheers for the video mate 😎 👌

[@fractal_mind562]

Im mad. I watched a 51 minute video with no skips, and you skipped Akala describing what his spoken word thing at the end was, so you didn't fully get the concept. "My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined" 😂

[@fractal_mind562]

Great reaction though now I've finished it ! Always a banger on this side 🔥👑

[@Junier-Hussein]

I really wish he never skipped past that part, context was needed

[@thesleepyp6066]

I WAS SO MAD but he caught the vibe anyway so I'll give him points back

[@rickmccann1018]

HE'S THE BEST IN THE WORLD 🌍 I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYONE LIKE HIM. HE BLOWS ME AWAY ☘️🇮🇪💚🇸🇩🍀

[@SuperChrisDub]

Akala is straight up honest about all his achievements! The spoken word are the end is beautiful - no other way to describe it. I straight up had tears in my eyes by the end of it the first time I heard it. It still does it to me if I'm already feeling some way about something else. His historical knowledge is so detailed. He talks about being from thrown from the deck of Zong, which was a slave ship on which over 100 enslaved Africans were massacred. This is not mentioned in regular UK schools. The only reason I recognised the reference was because I had a Jamaican next door neighbour in the 90s who told me all about what my ancestors did to his. But he didn't blame me or hate me for it. He was just letting me know that I hadn't been told the full story. He was a cool old guy, much loved by the whole community, regardless of ethnicity. Chester P, Mic Righteous, Akala, Lowkey - the top tier, peerless lyricists in the UK. All have different strengths and depending on my mood, each of one can be my favourite. All I can say is Chester P is the one who is the most slept on, but ask any UK lyrical rapper and they will cite him as one of the GOATs. He came before all the rest on the above list and laid the groundwork in his band Task Force for them. He may not be your thing but please just listen to one of his tracks from the following: The Authorship, The Wickerman Theory or Fire In The Streets. He comes from one of the worst council estates (projects but with the poor of all colours) in the UK so has had it hard, he's the least fake and humblest guys but came up in battle rap getting booed because he was white when there were no white rappers in the UK back in the 90s. If you give him a listen, I think you will be more than pleasantly surprised.

[@russellekins2799]

Thanks for a great reaction and for speaking facts!

[@spodaz]

Well done lad. Real recognize real. You catch more word play than any other Reaction Channel. You speak more truths. Wish you all the success from the UK.

[@junethomas4886]

I am so satisfied with that reaction that I don't want to go to work now. (5.30 am, UK). Respect, respect, respect, put some on his name. CHILLS

[@I_Kan]

Best reaction 🔥🔥🔥 You really dissect what Akala is saying and break it down. Seen many reaction videos and some of what UK rapper say can go over Americans heads but you get it all 😲 The cherry on the cake 🍰 of this reaction video was you bringing Jamal on camera and dancing with him 🤗

[@maniblondelly]

My favourite reactor finally getting to the greatest I can't wait to watch this. Gonna have to comment twice be 4 and after cos it's gonna be fire. Wouldlove to hear more reactions to his tracks and lowkey

[@corneliussmiff2773]

Just found you! Man, I love your analysis. Akala is a genius and you wish that tha things he says were the norm. Your reactions had me in hysterics, you are incredibly silly with them in a way I love and then you switched into such a thoughtful analysis. Keep it going man!

[@bill2472]

The greatest FITB ever, Akala is the goat.

[@dannythedoodle]

"I'm only nice in real life" 🔥🔥🔥

[@loganthomas2776]

Been waiting for this one man and it didn't dissapoint. I told you it was his best. Gutted you skipped past the context for the last verse but its all good. You should check out his books mate, he'll I will send you a copy of his book natives of you have somewhere I can send it. He's a great writer. You should 100% check out his daily Duppy as well he's in his "talk your shit" bag for that one. Can't wait to see that as well. Hope your doing well mate!

[@Junier-Hussein]

Same I was sad he skipped forward lol

[@yasarmajid134]

I waited for this for a long time....worth the wait....mic righteous and lowkey next

[@lewiswood2228]

Great reaction bro, ironically you said about Shakespeare he actually got a song called Shakespeare lol

[@reesgayford-stagg5116]

I love ur reactions ur one of us in the uk super funny respect huge fan

[@juicybug358]

Glad you finally reacted to this, sick reaction, but you missed the bit explaining what the second part was about. Next you need to react to Mic Righteous FITB and check out Ocean Wisdom at some point "Voices in my head" is a good place to start.

[@joelpowell2692]

🔥 reaction Kso 💯 real talk alot of others wouldn't be able to do this one justice. Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire by Akala is a great read one of the best books I own. Few fun facts: 1. ms Dynamite is Akala older sister that blew up back in the day and he refused to stand off the back of her name and chose to grind by his own merit. 2. As well as being an author and lecturer he adapts Shakespeare to teach to kids. 3. He was rejected by his mom's family because of his race and also penalised in school for being to smart for his colour so he was raised through his community both good and gangster ( he discusses it all in that book) yet he overcome all obstacles to be the legend he is 💯

[@scottnberry]

Ok so I stopped work,and dropped everything to listen to this reaction my man 💯🇬🇧 Akala is the greatest 💙

[@dannzy1]

damn i forgot i was reacting ha ha ha ha ha what a reaction mannn salute

[@rachelwease6210]

IM READY!

[@ianforster7825]

Absolute quality 👏👏

[@KorvidRavenscraft]

You said he spots spits a Ted talk in his raps... he's *actually* given Ted talks, my guy. And lectured at Oxford

[@richardweekes9130]

Akala has Honourary Degrees. One is a Doctorate of Art from Oxford University. Last year he was in the top 100 most influential black people in Great Britain. Different and Special. Dat boy Akala! 🐐

[@chief-jayfiji7834]

Been waiting all day to finish work to come home and watch this.Amazing reaction brother 💯👊🏾 please can you do,ENVIRONMENT by Dave from his Psychodrama Album 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾💯

[@stevecrook8994]

Can not wait for this

[@richgreen9220]

Akala is the GOAT. In 20 minutes he delivered more quality content than 99% of rappers produce in their entire career. Knowledge, flow, timing, style, range, content, delivery. Who his going toe toe against Akala? No one of any era stands a chance.

[@acetuned5242]

Akala opened up for Nas and Damian Marley on their world tour, that would've been an amazing life changing show

[@mikkianderson7903]

Agree best video ever ❤️

[@elliotcormack]

I too was a bit annoyed you missed the context for the last bit but then I realised it’s actually more interesting that you didn’t know what you were listening to and it still moved you to tears. Shows the power of the art form and how in tune you are with the music.

[@scorpionformula]

Great perspective

[@aspect57]

kso you are so much smarter and more fun to listen to than anyone else doing this shit. don't tell jean :)
