AMERICANS REACT TO UK RAPPER! | DAVE - BLACK (Live at The Brits 2020)

[@lrgreen1009]

The third verse was added for this live performance. Jack Merritt worked for prisoner rehabilitation, including Dave's brother who is still in jail. He and the young lady pictured were murdered. Jacks parents were at the show and he surprised them with that tribute.

[@JMWxx]

The young lady was called Saskia Jones.

I’m as white as white can get and it give me full body chills every time because it’s all facts.

[@Huge_XG-Xpop_Stan]

"If he's white you give him a chance, he's ill and confused, if he's black he's probably armed, you see him and shoot" has got to be one of the toughest lines I've ever heard!

[@harrydavies5055]

That line and the line about west Africa being the slave coast go so hard

It's fine what he said but why does everyone forget about the white slave trade Is it because it happened first yes that's right before there was black slave trade there was white slave trade the vikings took slaves in more numbers than the black slave trade the arabs took more white slaves than black slaves look it up it called the barbury slave trade they took millions of white slaves so does that mean that white people can demand reparations from arab countries for their slave trade cause I really hope that everyone calling for reparations also backs the call for arab countries to pay white people and also calls for Scandinavian countries to pay other European countries for the slaves they took or doesn't that count because it was a few hundred years before the American slave trade or should we all acknowledge that slavery was wrong and horrible and stop trying to get money from it ????

[@theambivalentps2bloke60]

My mate Dave got a splinter 6 months ago if that counts

[@mark.flemdog]

Dave the most talented musician in the world right now

I always watch reactions to this song to hear different perspectives! I love it. It still gives me chills every time.

Guys,the UK is saving hiphop Dave is better than 95%of US rappers and he's not the only one We have 70 year old white rappers that flow and bar better than most younger artists I am serious,if you want a small list of things to listen too I can let you know

Dave is better than damn near everybody. If you really wanna get into him (and you will) start with his Blackbox freestyle, then his Blackbox cypher. He was only 15 & 16 in them. You'll understand him and the scope of his talents so much more...

[@DeterminedFC]

bruh they dont wanna see tht sht yall dave superfans are terrible at introducing dave to people

[@lrgreen1009]

@@DeterminedFC Those videos are how I was introduced to him and here I am, what did you call me.. a superfan. Some of us are as interested in the arc of an artist as we are in the popular hits.

[@DeterminedFC]

then i take it back ..your a bandwagon hister . you diminish the value of "black" when you immediately point someone to his blackbox freestyle .. if someone is interested in the "arc of the artist" let them discover it organically so they can best enjoy it ..without forcing what you like @@lrgreen1009

as a white south african/englishman this song holds so much power and a strong message, dave is a genius

[@grc9ball]

Try reacting to his Live performance of "In the Fire" at the Brits 2022, ft Fredo, Meeks, Ghetts & Giggs, he is so multi talented, plays multiple instruments, writes & produces his music. Even rocks it out with an epic guitar solo at the end of the performance.

[@piarichards6402]

It is the fact that the Grenfell families still haven't got justice this many years on! Give them what they deserve 💚💚💚💚

[@ljr448]

RIP jack and the others who died that day i believe jack in the pictures was helping daves brother in jail trying to sort some bail or something but was killed in a attack i think

[@wastelandbaby1264]

he was a criminology student focused on justice reform - not read anywhere about daves brother but it could be true! he was killed in a terrorist attack while trying to save people and calm the man down because he knew him & was helping to rehabilitate him after being released early from prison 💔

[@smj6710]

@@wastelandbaby1264 Dave's brother got life imprisonment, minimum 18yrs, under law of joint enterprise for involvement in a murder. He didn't actually do the murder. A new tactic the state are using against black men.

Welcome to Dave. The UK goat 🐐

[@tdzzzzzzzzzz.22]

easily the best rapper about these days- so under appreciated you need to watch a lot more

[@kevingrant7098]

Dave is amazing. This is one of my favourites. Artist I like watching KZbinrs react to brilliant message. The rich and powerful like to divide us make us fight amongst ourselves, and they carry on filling up their bank account, and we blame each other.

[@BFJ714]

Will always watch reacts to this performance every time it comes up in recommendations may be the best ever

[@natashafletcher600]

I feel like I learned a lot from this song. The line that gets me most is: "We all struggle but your struggle ain't a struggle like me. How could it be when your people gave us the odds that we beat!?" Having grown up in the UK equivalent to the projects where everyone was considered shit regardless of your heritage, I'm often afforded a free pass when I am around different communities. The difference is that when I want to present myself well, people treat me as a good person from the very beginning.

[@Swooshez90]

Me too. I'm a white woman that grew up in poverty with a father in prison but I think it's so important that I recognise while I've bad disadvantages in life I also have advantages due to my race. I work in a customer service job and my Black and Asian colleagues get racially abused daily, I do not.

[@natashafletcher600]

[@minkirakira]

2:55 this part gave me chills. i just got reminded of what happened last month, that officer thinking the handcuffed suspect was shooting from inside the car all because of an acorn falling onto the car…and i’m thinking that if the suspect died from then we probably wouldn’t have heard of this. mississippi police being able to kill people and bury them in unmarked graves without telling families. if there weren’t any people to witness the attack on that man how much covering up would have happened?
