Goldie Lookin Chain - Fresh Prince of Cwmbran

bluewaffle.youk... Cwmbran (Welsh: Cwmbrân) is a new town in Wales within the historic boundaries of Monmouthshire, and county borough of Torfaen. It was established in 1949 to provide new employment opportunities in the south eastern portion of the South Wales Coalfield. Cwmbrân means "valley of the crow" in the Welsh language. It is twinned with Bruchsal, Germany and Carbonne, France. (Filmed and edited by Jon Lawrance)

[@DJYoue]

Someone asked me what Cwmbran is like so I sent them this video. Glad lockdown is in or we'd be getting floods of tourists. Floods!

[@Sysiphusjwk]

Slaves relish lockdowns.

[@sledgyb]

Its only the town Milton Keynes wishes it could be!!! ;)

[@TheAlmightyAss]

12 years later, it is still surreal that this exists.

[@marcussmith7694]

Every six weeks holiday we went to my cousins in Cwmbran. I remember a L shaped swimming pool where two lads pinned me between two float mats and a guard saved my life. Also I had to go to the police station cause some lads found a pair of hand cuffs and got me and put them on me, got smashed off my skateboard by locals on bikes, chased by the local lads and had to fight like fuck to survive....! I learnt to run like the wind and fight like a cornered fox. I will never forgive my fecking dad for sending me on holidays there, I am Fucking English for god sake, and it was the 80s. I bloody love Wales x

[@jonathanparry7824]

that would be fairwater leisure swimming pool id imagine

[@NSegaXP]

[@jay2giggles252]

15 Years Nearly Been Listening & Still Am 100% GLC 🔥🔥🔥 100%

[@tellboyWales]

Awesome song. Sums up Cwmbran a treat. Plus, I actually know the trolley lady!!

[@maddygroves6445]

Yeah my dad showed me this on facebook and someone said in the comments 'hey that lady at the and with the trolley is my nan!!'

[@Kwales66]

10/10 For Cwmbran.

[@aliceackermanwatkins767]

Cwmbran is a better place to live than anywhere else I lived Newport is a crap place and Cardiff is too crowded and Cwmbran has more places to go to now new shops more parking areas so Cwmbran is a great place to live

[@SAM-jc6ib]

Yeah looks like it 😂

[@TheAlmightyAss]

If you like soul destroying brutalism you'll it here.

[@echo442londonsburning5]

Where they usually do the video is where my nan lives in fact I’ve been to Cwmbran 5 times nice place but the trolleys cracks me up

[@PKJellyLord]

Grew up there, went to Llantarnam (RIP) - love this

[@Whybot182]

This video makes my hometown actually look decent...

[@jackfielding4922]

New feature in recent years is the daily battle royales between Phil Anslow and Stagecoach drivers. Occasionally a Newport Bus drives sheepishly past.

[@ljjames6354]

The best part of it for me is I have been to all the places in this video

[@huwthomas6730]

Simply brilliant!

[@worgsy]

haven't seen these boys for years CLASSIC. SOAP BAR MASSIVE !!!!

[@otp5s3r4]

Genius from the GLC here! Could certainly alter the lyrics a little myself to cover my town (Bangor, Northern Ireland). To me the GLC summed up what rap is about: it's not just about creating lyrics that rhyme, it's about understanding and empathising with the emotions and feelings of your local community, in order to create something that gives them a smile or a laugh.

[@babygump]

Just got back from there about 40mins ago and there was lots of spaces to park.

[@kujek1993]

i just found out about those guys, this is the first song I check and I already like them for use of Fresh Prince theme song. Gotta check more ...

[@sollianjones1731]

this makes me proud to be living in Cwmbran. :,))

[@Lemonjam100]

Had no idea Cwmbran was so interesting...

[@dontnowhattobecalled]

Cannot stop listening!

[@prophetsluva1]

@Perfectmiseryful Generally, english is the first language with not too many people speaking fluent welsh. apparently only about 15 - 20% speak it fluently. however, welsh speaking schools are becoming more popular.

[@Kwales66]

Again LOL ! I love Cwmbran.

[@lynnesmith7042]

What name? Cwmbran? There are two vowels there. W and A. The Welsh letter W is pronounced somewhere in between the English letter U and the sound -OO- like in BOO.

[@malindixonwilkins]

Surely if it's twinned with 2 other towns, then they're triplets?

[@emkate004]

I live in cwmbran

[@JoelMatton]

So I was listening to Marc Marons WTF episode with comedian Doug Stanhope. Doug says in the interview that he lives in Bisbee, Arizona. So I go to the Wikipedia page for Bisbee, Arizona to find out more about the town. I read that it's a so-called "planned town". I don't know what that is so I click on the wikipedia page for "planned town". The article explains what a planned town is and lists a bunch of towns that are planned towns. In the list for The UK, Cwmbran is one of the planned towns. I see that name and wonder how it's pronounced, so I go to to KZbin and google the word "cwmbran" hoping to find a video where somebody pronounces it. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the story of how I found this video.

[@umirrinbro]

***** Brrilliant

[@memetixTV]

+JoelMatton Killer Termite for life. You knows it.

[@erisfon]

This is the best KZbin comment I've read all year. A+++++ would read again.

[@morganrieder6281]

+JoelMatton --Bisbee was a company town--coal company; every one worked for the company. The company built some public amenities, but other than that it's one of the most unplanned towns in Arizona. The topography consists of a few flat areas and many steep slopes, to which the houses cling. Very picturesque. After the mine (an immense ungodly hole) shut down, it's become a mecca for retired hippies and their ilk.

[@kieronE73]

make one for pontypool

[@pierrealbisser2220]

Spent a night in Cwmbran because of this song. 10/10, would be laugh again.
