AMERICAN RAPPER REACTS TO | Skepta & JME freestyle in New York - Westwood (REACTION)

[@jamiankhopkar4577]

Brooooo you missed one of the best bars after the pause, JME says "I'm an angel, I cut the devil in half, thats 333" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@AllyT-ft7gg]

He caught that

[@jameshamilton6072]

Bro, he said Tony Blair not Tony Ramsey, he's a former Prime Minister. It was a fucking BAR. Back to back Bars tbh, legendary freestyle!

[@jacka3621]

Skepta and JME as youre probably aware are UK OGs, they really helped expand grime and UK rap abroad. I'd recommend jumping down the rabbit hole of them both

[@niall-b4902]

Also brothers

[@Niggleblade1986]

No 🤦🏾‍♂️ its commercial. Real "grime"didnt get released as singles

@@Niggleblade1986bro what? Just because it’s popular doesn’t mean it’s ‘commercial’ an example of commercial is basically anything that stormzy does.

@@theaaat being releasd commercialy means commercial you 🤯 So albums, singles.........

[@jordank1489]

Sick! When JME uses 1, he says it once. 2, says it twice. 3, 3 times. Bars! By the way he says Tony Blair, not Ramsey. He used to be the Prime Minister, so Skepta is saying he doesn't even take calls from the Top Dog

[@joabbedoyan9122]

Think he was also referencing that Tony Blair had quite a hard ‘anti gun’ policy throughout his tenure so the fact he doesn’t even take calls from Tony Blair is even more important

[@bradellis7794]

Rooney is also a cameraman who goes by the name “ risky roads “ if you wanna see the best grime freestyle ever watch Ghetts Risky Roads Freestyle … 😎

[@richardweekes9130]

Skepta and his younger brother JME are a problem! UK Grime legends! 🇬🇧 🇳🇬

[@hanx3560]

These 2 clowns are legends? Really?

[@richardweekes9130]

@Hanx I don't know what made you think that, but if you went through their back catalogues, because even though they are brothers they are separate artists, you would see the levels that both have set in the Grime scene. Without them and other OGs such as Wiley, Dizzee Rascal, Chip, D Double E, P Money, Ghetts, Kano, and more, there would be no third generation of UK rappers (UK Drill. They will never reach the Grime levels but they're here now). And the mainstream artists like Dave and Stormzy wouldn't be here also.

[@Morninqstar]

Ive been listenin to grime for years, its good to see others here in the states recognizing these dudes.

[@PEStylesHD]

The way your eyes rolled back after “Jack man everyday blatantly” bar had me crying 😭 😂

[@studio808]

The mad thing is back in the early 2000s there were about 100 mcs as good as these guys. I used to listen to pirate radio everyday as a kid and the levels in London were mad back then. Can’t say the same for these trap kids now

[@IcecoldBotch]

Best comment in here. Dizzee with his 1st then showtime, Rinse FM. The talent was bursting, but as is the nature of Grime..many didn't last

[@xlairvoyant]

​​@@IcecoldBotch hahaha! Rinse FM was an entire scene back then. 👊💜 I'm enjoying these comments as much as the video!

[@goedGon]

KSO! Thank you for reacting and sharing your unique perspective. I really enjoy your analysis of the lyrics and the way you explain the story of the world that people don’t see. Your commentary really adds an extra layer of depth to understanding the real of rap. We need some new Dave reactions bro! U won’t regret these: Dave - Drama Dave - Environment

[@jaymason393]

Skepta - ace hood flow, man, no security, the list goes on bro he’s a 🐐🐐 his album with chip and young adz I recommend too some crazy ones on there

Stop recommending commercial 💩

[@tilchops]

@@Niggleblade1986 that’s what I was thinking.

You gotta check out Skepta - NO SECURITY KSO!!!!!!! In my opinion his best track, he also makes the beats to almost all of his songs. Fire reaction as always ✌🏼🔥

[@andybird4046]

Skepta and Jme lyrics can go over your head so easy it’s mad

[@doraice]

trust me bro, as a Jamaican, we gave Americans hip hop. but its hard listening to american rap after I've discovered grime. wait till you hear Ghetts. wish we could take it back from America.

[@PidgeUTB]

it’s videos like this creeping there way onto my home page that make me happy. Skeppy n JME the pioneers of grime

[@jakeMKmitchell]

Glad to see you everyone pointing my guy in the way of classics.

Wiley fully went off the deep end for a couple of years, he's still a bit mad but he looks a lot healthier now.

[@kylemitchell436]

KSO we need the skepta fresco sbtv freestyle ... unreal bars .. on the streets where it all started

[@syetemaskm7706]

You hit it exactly early grime artists build their bars with flow so on pirate radio they could spit on whatever beat was played that's why it prangs on a lot of ears, but if listen to the bars and flows instead of the actual beat you respect the artistry

[@Conkurdome]

Obvs I dunno if you've heard of many grime artists but one that I really rated was a kid called Adam Deacon. He's known for his big acting roles in a series of movies set on the streets of London. He did a lot of the tunes on those movies and that's how I got onto him as a rapper. I've not seen or heard much of him in last ten years or so but there's vids of him freestyling on the Tim Westwood show back around 2010ish. Cudda been one of the best

Fun fact, JME and Skepta are also brothers, too much talent for one family man

[@mrisht2308]

Wiley is not a crackhead. He built this scene! His mind just work 100mph he always has a lot to say on the industries. You have the industry that can pick puppets, whereas he can’t be controlled. That’s why we even have grime in the first place, no one wanted to play grime, Wiley is the main pioneer of this who broke doors down, hence why you have dizzee, Skepta, ghetts, Kano, chip, Stormzy. In fact Skepta used to be a dj, then Wiley convinced him to pick up the Mic.

Grime evolved from garage, which is a type of dance music, that is why they rap like that.

That bar where Skepta says "The last time I drew my machine out, Tony Blair started phoning my mumzy" at the time, Tony Blair was the Prime Minister of the UK. Adding continuation to his opening lyric, "My name's Skepta. Don't like it? Come out the country" he reinforces the idea that he's more prolific than the politicians and country leaders hahaha

To add further complexity to the word play - in the UK our degrees are measured like this... 1st / 2:1/ 2:2 so he set up the line with how he got a degree - got a 2:2 but got it anyway when people probably never thought he could pass his degree
