I've been born and raised in London, and although the rhymes were broadly often quite depressing, in a bizarre way it still made me feel really proud to live here. Particularly his sign off

[@majorryan72]

Haha, I guess the grimy shots of London are shot so well by Paul Kirsop and George is so charismatic it will always lean to positive. That said there are two parts to my city! The second no film is called Passion Fruit (on my channel) and is a film about creativity and how he best art is created in the face of adversity! I.E suffer for your art. Which unfortunately is where the world is heading. Art should be celebrated but also artist should be rewarded and be able to continue! I'm still trying to stay creative but it's getting harder and harder...

Luvin this.... #realtalk I want to show this to the kids I work with

[@trulyinfemous]

These things are only well known and publicised within the circles it matters to. The problem with poetry is that it tends to speak the gospel to the choir, but that isn't here nor there. Its a very nice poem that says a lot of truths and the video is well done. Also, when has poetry ever been about music? Obviously judging it from a musical standpoint should lead to a 'non-existent' conclusion?

[@Dylanjayne155]

Wow
