I don’t think any song from a British artist ever summed up the state of Britain like Plan B put on. Genius, truth and sadness man

[@intello8953]

And Devlin’s Community Outcast 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@rnw2739]

He's an English artist and he's chatting about England. Any Scottish artist would soon point out that they are singing about Scotland so please don't try and erase England.

[@liammccormack7894]

Only scratching the surface with this artist. His action speaks louder than world album is unreal. He plays the guitar and sings too

[@djimma5080]

...and acts and directs

[@cockbeard]

I've been waiting a while for anyone to start reacting to Ben, just do the first album it's absolutely brutal

[@triptwo425]

The album is who needs actions when you've got words.

[@shawnburns5680]

My favorite was the Paint It Blacker mixes

[@Wezleechadd1327]

"I'll stab you in the eye yo, with a fuckin biro, the same one you use to sign your fuckin giro" 😂 mad album.

[@rosspatterson9390]

This is from the London riots a while back, pretty much everything was getting smashed up and looted

[@0hWhySoSerious]

The guy who threw the jab is John Prescott, who was acting Deputy Prime Minister at the time. He was walking down the street and someone hit him with an egg, so he punched who he thought it was. The punch did more damage to his career, compared to the fella he hit! Plan B is unique. I’ll Manors is a song from the album he produced full of songs to go with the film he directed. Also Defamation of Strickland Banks Album is great!

[@djdeemz7651]

He was a boxer when he was younger i believe it from the jab

[@jmacmcfc4662]

Ahh good old British smack ups hahaha we love a tear up

[@Tao_Tology]

For context, the guy had been trying and trying and tryyyyyyyying to get a rise out of Prescott. And the press finally got the moment they were after.

[@ozzyhassan949]

That's was the day John 2 Jags (Jaguars) became 2 jabs lol

Defamation of Strickland Banks is a whole experience. Well worth sitting down and listening through when you have time 👍

He's a unique artists that sounds very different in every song ( he also acts).

[@nav8908]

also directed the movie this album is from/for

[@lawrenceh7182]

Plan B is a super talented artist from London. He primarily makes music, each album highly different from the last, but he is also an actor, film producer and director. The UK you may be familiar with is a facade offered up to tourists. Believe me when I say there are many parts of the UK you would not want to be after dark. It often makes me laugh that Americans seem to think we live in this quaint little suburb called the UK. In my opinion the UK HH scene is very strong right now, you are touching the tip of a pretty big boom bap inspired iceberg over here!

[@cockbeard]

England, that little village just outside the City of London Hahaha

[@hainsyboi]

This song came from an album that he wrote along with a film also called ill manors, one of my favourite films! You want to know the real London give that a watch

[@Simon...........]

"...Everyones gotta pay, do what Boris does, rob them blind.." A line from March 2012...when Boris was London Mayor, but still so relevant with the Boris led tory sleeze in April 2021! Love it... timeless? Perhaps

[@smolove4005]

Mad props to whoever requested this, by far my favorite non-U.S. hip hop track

[@conormurphy7126]

riots started around London due to the police killing of Mark Duggan. this is the the title of Plan Bs film, Ill Manors, a film about crime in inner london.

[@twinklingfullstop9152]

Thanks for doing this. And huge congratulations for reaching 100k 💖

This got me to subscribe, love you doing this UK music deep dive. Respect.

[@gcommodity4552]

ILL Manors is a concept album and there is a film of the same name written/directed by Ben/Plan B...talented artist

[@jasonbrittain4100]

footage was from the London riots like 10 years plus ago. this album went alongside a documentary he made which was about the London riots and politics behind it... quite interesting

[@victoriahollis3454]

Ok urban safari is a flippant term u used to describe an adventure contained within a city. Chav is an insult usually thrown at working class kids seen to be young poor violent and rash .Council house is social housing basically the UK version of the projects this is 2011 riots after a police shooting the politician is John Prescott he was deputy pm under Blair

[@MrLboydReacts]

Thanks, noted

[@victoriahollis3454]

No problem it gets confusing.

[@christulloch3473]

Also couple of other details worth noting. The title and chorus contains a double meaning. 1) Ill manor as in the working class youth/Plan B is badly behaved. "my manners ill" 2) Manor is also old east london/cockney slang for you neighbourhood/area So "my manors ill" acts as a play on words to suggest that not only Is Plan B badly behaved. But his area is dangerous.

[@jacquelinefirkins994]

Don't know why this guy stopped making films and music he was awesome 👏 Inner cities (council estates) were all like this but things have improved in a lot of areas 🤘 I went to Plan b's "ill manors" tour best concert I ever attended 🙌

[@leweegiggles]

Things haven't improved, they've just been moved to suburban areas outside of the major cities through gentrification and a manufactured cost of living crisis

[@tonymarshall3978]

In 2011 a young man (Mark Dugan) was killed by police whilst they tried to arrest him. This led to crowds coming to help the boy and his friends and more police coming to fight them off and "control" the situation sparking a full-on riot. The riot led to a UK-wide crime spree where many people looted major shops and burned down buildings and cars. This song and music video using footage from the nearly week-long riot and is somewhat ironic as I believe he was working on the song before the riot happened so it became the perfect imagery to rail against police and UK politics. The event is highly politicised in the UK as you could imagine

[@shaneoshea5166]

It was all an excuse to rob stuff. People were just showing their true colours. It was never about Dugan, people just wanted free shit.

[@tommytucker3511]

Another dope reaction! Plan B - how's it feel and Plan B - it's time for plan B are both sick tracks too

[@00die00991]

The footage is a mix from the 2011 summer riots in the UK and the movie Ill Manors which Plan B the singer did the soundtrack for

[@liammcg5696]

You need to watch the film , this is one of the sound tracks , one of the best London based films to date 🔥🔥

[@stevecrook8994]

The guy who threw the punch is John presscott who was the deputy prime minister

[@mikeye6590]

Bam Bam - voice of the streets, pure fire

[@tomraymond9795]

There was protests that quickly became looting and rioting around 10 years back following police violence. Several areas of London where pretty much as you saw on this vid on and off for a few weeks. London is basically very cool and completely fucked up at the same time, depending on who you are and specific when and where you are. "Nice" areas are often only a few yards from poverty and inequality, with all the madness that goes with that Not too many guns as UK is pretty locked down on that but they do get smuggled in and used. Too many stabbings though, it's an ugly and tragedy epidemic...

[@abbbake2425]

Am so glad you done this but he has many more than ou won't be disappointed

[@WrathofTron]

He talks about it in the song. The London riots happened because the city spent billions on a bid to get the Olympics and build Olympic Village while the city was dealing with record highs in poverty and unemployment

[@noorieiversen]

Listen to this whole album. It is wicked, on another level of real. 💗

[@twinklingfullstop9152]

It's from a movie call Ill manors, but this video is a mix of real footage eg the punch was when politician Gordon Brown got egged. The fires are when there was the riots a couple of years back.

Ben 'Plan B' Drew is a rapper, singer, musician, actor, and filmmaker. Incredibly talented! This video shows footage from past scenes of unrest in this country and scenes from his very good feature film Ill Manors. Manor is used as a name for a neighbourhood or a council estate (projects to you). So you can understand the anger. He has different tracks with different styles. Please listen to his award winning album 'The Defamation Of Strickland Banks'. It tells a complete story and showcases his array of skills. On holiday, unless you're going to stay with friends or family that live in poor neighbourhoods, you're not going to see poor living. It's in every city in the UK.

[@AndyTaken]

Way late, but ultimately the footage is from the London rights. The riots started due to the "in"justice of an offender being killed by the cops, but the rest of the city and up and down the country, chavs," and other "Chancers" took the opportunity to riot, loot, and cause general chaos. Chances were just robbing every store they could and anyone they could and feigning outrage at the system. Regarding London, I'm not sure where you visit that is clean other than very rich areas, but like all major cities, for the most part, there are safe places and places you do not want to find yourself in. I grew up on a council estate, and while I never went down the same path, many of my friends ended up in gangs and eventually prison. Council estates are just large areas of blocks of flats/apartments that are usually rundown and where mostly the working class live. Most, but obviously not all, people on a council estate are living off the benefits of the council, aka local government.

[@poisonedivysaur]

This is tied to an entire movie called ill manor. Really good movie just damn hard to find state side. The dude rapping directed the movie.

[@Thracian117]

That fact that you haven't seen any of this over here is kinda the point of the video, all the public spaces and inner areas are kept clean and nice for the tourists... And the other areas are either forgotten or brushed under the carpet, I used to live a city called bath, beautiful architecture, bathstone (type of local golden stone) buildings and Victorian era imperial esthetic in the centre... Walk 20 mins in any direction and you hit the bits the tourists don't see that what the local council wishes wasn't there, tower blocks and run down council estates, borderline poverty. And yes that was a real politician getting hit and pinching that dude.

[@lrnldn6009]

Footage is from the London riots that were sparked over the police shooting and killing mark duggan. Riots broke out over the course of 5 days across England. thousands of people rioted, looted and generally smashed the city up and lit fires. Think it was 2011

He was 29, he wasnt a kid

[@gemma3954]

He was totally innocent. The police shot him in the back. They said he was a “terrorist”. I don’t think anyone paid any justice for this crime. That’s why there was riots up & down the country. That’s what I was told anyway. Missed it all, I was on holiday at the time. I heard about it when I got back to England.

There's a cross over metal band called hacktivist that blend heavy metal grooves with this kind of rap flow. You might dig it.

You've been to the UK? It's the same as every country. Get a train into any city in any country and it'd be the same. Outskirts, shitty. Move in a bit and it's nice. Get to the centre and it's more of a melting pot but you'll only really go to the nice bits. I went on a bike ride a few years ago on the canal and hit Kings Norton where you leave the canal, go through an estate before getting back on the canal. The "tour guide" was a guy I asked for directions. He was partially disabled on an electric bike and pointed out the local spots where "some kid got stabbed over a £20 bag of weed". I live a 10 minute drive from KN and it's a really nice area. I'm pretty sure NY or wherever in the US is the same

[@johnjenkins4788]

Bro when I've travelled to Boston, Philly, NY to see family I've been to some rough places, but it doesn't feel like the parts of the UK I grew up in. The only place I've been that is on a par is Baltimore seeing my cousins.

This is a commentary on the riots of 2011 but also a response to economic austerity. Working class people were demonised (and still are), in the media and by those in power, and scapegoated so that we paid for the banking crash in 2008 by cuts to public spending and services.
