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

[@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

[@AllyT-ft7gg]

He caught that

[@Morninqstar]

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

[@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

[@PEStylesHD]

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

[@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.

[@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 … 😎

[@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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Skepta was the king of grime but JME is so unique he was definitely up there… that’s what made grime so good, everyone is completely different in wordplay and flow

[@drillnewsandclips3798]

i heard an interesting analysis recently, Skepta was brilliant but until quite recently he was quite afraid to be creative with his shit, and he just rapped the same sort of stuff as other grime artists, (girls, violence, money) whereas JME was not afraid at all to do his own thing. obviously the number wordplay on this way cold, he also did it in a bigger way on "Issmad". He's also a vegan, he's been with his now wife for a very long time, and he doesn't drink. All of these things are pretty much unheard of from other grime artists, including Skep, who promote lives of promiscuity and substance abuse. JME's willingness to do his own thing is what set him apart, however he hasn't been as successful as he could've been because most long time grime listeners wanted to hear about the sort of things JME was against.
