Dave - “Black” reaction - This hit me right in my heart, welcome to the CROW family brotha Dave ❤️

[@stuartbrierley103]

If this is your first time hearing dave then you've got quite the rabbit hole to go down. The guy is a beast. Fantastic reaction.

[@stuartbrierley103]

Also. I'll just mention akala and his 4 fire in the booths. Given your reaction to this I can pretty much guarantee you'll enjoy them.

Ive watched this more times than i can count and every time i get emotional. Im an old white guy and nothing has changed in my 64 years.

[@sistermoon1970]

This was an amazing reaction. Very insightful, thank you for your honesty of your personal experiences. I remember watching this at the time and hoping the world was listening 🫶

jack merritt helped dave’s brother who’s in jail and he was unfortunately killed in a terrorist attack in london

[@wainsws57]

Dave is absolutely top draw. Cheers for the reactions

[@CROWreactions]

He is a gem. I can’t wait to react to more of him 👊🏽❤️

[@TyNiggle]

You 100% need to do more Dave reactions. Your comments and emotions are very touching and I feel like Dave has so many songs that need to be heard. Love from a Māori brother ❤

[@ryanwoowoo9805]

For me this is the greatest song ever ,the message is so powerful and truthful, we are one race and we all live in one place

Masterpiece of a performance Dave the goat , have you checked his blackbox freestyle , he was only 15 Nice reaction

[@PrettyKiKi1981]

I believe this was my request Mother Crow! ❤ I knew you'd feel it in the soul... epic 💯

[@CROWreactions]

You are an Angel for putting me onto this amazing song. I felt it in so many ways. Thank you my sista 👊🏽❤️

[@PrettyKiKi1981]

Most welcome! You can drop any Dave track and it'll rock you... he's incredible. Writes, produces, plays guitar and piano... he even acts in a series called Top Boy... x Try Dave - Heart attack, Lesley and Three rivers xxx

[@dcf1100]

Hello sis if you want an absolutely top social conscious MC check out Mic righteous and his 4 fire in the booths do them in order it might even bring tears to your eyes the guy is Iranian and one of the world's best spitters on the mic alive today🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@babyamy3884]

A few other of daves songs you might like Lesley (This really hits you in your heart) Heart attack

[@witherkay]

Instant follow from me mate. I've seen dozens of reactions to this video but none of them so acute and heartfelt. Jack Merritt was a man who came from the absolute elite class of privilege in this country, but had used his position to work towards prison reform and particularly the (as he put it) 'over-representation' of black men in British prisons. He'd worked to support Dave's brother, who himself was in prison. He was murdered during a conference on offender rehabilitation. What you said towards the end of the video about civilisation really got me. As a white man in the UK, I've been educated, subliminally but effectively, to believe that we hold the keys to civilisation and that people of colour are being allowed access to civilisation on sufferance and on the basis of our whim. And this is a collective idea that we have to shake off if we're ever going to move forward as a society.

[@ojaydanville3928]

What a great reaction, welcome to Dave man, he is the truth and h will take you on a real emotional journey but he does have those massive club bangers too, so he will take you further into your soul but at the same time bring you right back with bangers. Just to get a summer vibe you can check out Central Cee ft Dave Sprinter and then try Dave - Heart Attack or We're All Alone In This Together of his same titled album 🔥🔥🔥

[@EandJ937]

This is heavy, my two brothers are black in America and I’ve felt the difference most profoundly when we’re getting pulled over the genuine fear in the car was palpable… I’m E and my wife is J, thanks again for doing Prof he is independent and amazing at performing

[@CROWreactions]

The differences are very much there but many choose to overlook them so thank you for sharing your honest experiences. Also thank you for putting me onto Prof. my question is what is the best track to do next of his? Louisiana? ❤️👊🏽

[@EandJ937]

@@CROWreactions depends on your mood fr, Louisiana is deep and cutthroat has its own dance light work is ridiculous, gasoline? I’m telling you he’s like an American brother Ren it doesn’t really matter what track

[@Pixplayz]

Dave is a poet, this performance shook the media pretty much to their knickers "305 complaints " not bad considering how many people watched it live on TV. The brits are quite a big deal. Check out his freestyle when he was 16, or when he pulled a kid on stage at Glastonbury, there's so much to learn about him he's a national treasure

[@AishaIsFabulous-x-]

Amazing reaction. Subscribed. 'The Brits' is an annual music ceremony over here in the UK, akin to the Grammy's in the USA. Lots of Love from the UK 💜

DAVE Leslie black ⚫️ is great

[@jroe9132]

Great reaction, you need to do far more dave.

[@ali50n]

I'm a white middle aged British woman....but i agree with everything you said. I have been with you from your first reaction, and admire you and the work you do highly! Watch Lesley( lyric video) by Dave, but beware it will hit you hard! I don't even know your first name, but thank you.

[@thomasmclean1361]

Be human ♥️ ❤️ 💕

[@callumwilcock8738]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to dave panic attack live at future festival 2017. Man is mad talented and his live performances with a piano are simply magic. Big love from the UK :)

Listen to LESLEY. You will cry. It is beautiful

[@terryfowler4893]

Have a look at Akala’s fire in the booths 1-4, he deconstructs race and class and Lowkey fire in the booth 2 he gives a shout out to the indigenous peoples of Australia in two bars

[@CROWreactions]

Oh no Terry, sounds like your sending me down another rabbit hole here. Thank you 🙌🏽❤️👊🏽

[@babyamy3884]

The girl and boy on the piano at the end of the video were prisoner rehabilitation officers and helped a lot of the black prisoners including daves brother They both unfortunately were killed in a terrorist attack in london

[@ianvickers9967]

Dave is a special artist. He is not afraid to tackle difficult subjects and speaks the truth. Can I suggest you check out the track Lesley. Its 11 minutes long. Be prepared to get emotional.

[@ldoll6296]

Really great to hear your perspective, very eloquently put. You should check out more Dave he’s great with lyrics especially heart attack is a good one to react to. Think also avelino x wretch 32 fire in the booth has great word play and meaning! All the best ❤

[@mattwhitcher]

Jack Merritt was killed in a terrorist attack while at an event for the charity "Learning Together" where prisoners are teamed with students to promote learning & help breakdown social stigma regarding offenders. He was stabbed to death along with a Saskia Jones another volunteer.

[@djladygee]

Indeed. Just to add, Dave knew Jack personally, cos Jack was supporting his brother who is in jail, and they grew close. Dave invited Jack's parents to this Brits and surprised them with this homage. By the way the last part since the point he stands up is not on original track, he added it for Brits awards.

[@natashafletcher600]

I almost didn't watch this video because it was long, but when I heard your voice I wanted to hear your thoughts. By god I am so ashamed to be white when I hear what your innocent child faces! I had to explain what racism is to my children back in 2020. My TWELVE year old had no concept of racism! She went to a school that was in the middle of a very poor area and a very wealthy area so as the kids all wear uniform and sit in the same room, they are all equal in that space. She was so confused and doubted my revelation. I said to her that racists often come from racist families. That even if a young person disagreed with their parents racist views, much damage is already done. I only ever had a mild issue with my younger daughter who at 5yo wished her Indian and African besties were white like her. I showed her native dancing involving little girls like her friends and said to her: if you had been born in those countries your friends might have said to their mummies "I wish Jazz had brown skin like me." Within 20 minutes my innocent child understood enough about her Friends backgrounds to never consider it further and SHE went on to be diagnosed autistic. There is NO excuse for racism.

[@sarahealey1780]

The best thing about this performance is that it was live on TV at the Brit award, which is the British equivalent of the Grammys, you wouldn't get this on American TV.

[@danielcarter94]

Jack was an activist who was helping Dave’s imprisoned brother and Jack was stabbed and killed in a terrorist attack in London😊

Great heartfelt reaction!! Try reacting to Akala - FITB part 4, more UK fire!! Actually, react to part 1 first, more insight into prisons in the UK and USA.

[@sampanther8854]

It's heart wrenching to know that it's taking so long for some people to realise we are all just human beings why is it so difficult to understand 🤔😳 you got to look at history to be aware and change history for the good... Love yourself and each other.. I'm a tree hugga 😉.. Thank you for sharing your experience it's good to learn from each other ❤

Ask people to describe an American Tall,wearing a stetson and eating a hamburger Describe an Australian White man wearing shorts and flip flops drinking lager in a hat with bottle corks Describe a person from New Zealand? Brazil? The Caribbean? We should be ashamed of ourselves The least racist is still racist It makes me so sad

Love Dave or better known as Santan Dave. He is a whole new rabbit hole for you to dive into. His latest hit is a cool collab. Central Cee x Dave - Sprinter [Music Video]. Dave is a UK diamond. He is a serious Rapper with skills. The Brits are the UK's Grammys. UK Music industry annual awards. 🤩

The Brits are a big (the biggest?) music awards ceremony here in the UK, btw. Soon as I saw you were doing this one I knew you'd feel it hard. He is just spitting facts upon facts upon facts.

Ah Mother Krow....so grateful to Artists like Dave who put this out their on a main stage in front of all kinds of people and lays bare the bullshit, out and out wrongness of our treatment of fellow human beings. Love your beautiful reaction, i'm sad too that it connected so much with your experience and the treatment your own kids receive and having to endure that. A fellow Reactor I like and seriously like you're good self is a good human, has merch "Just Be a Good Human" and "More Love" (Jamel AKA Jamal) sorry....not even half way through and soooooo much more to come - back to it!
