Exactly my thoughts

[@Lukemooredrums]

Top boy is literally the most authentic series iv'e ever seen on British television. For rappers their acting was sensational, and so believable. Watch the series if you haven't already.

[@chosentwo9730]

The original summerhouse seasons were authentic. These new seasons were 70% bullshit and over exaggerated acting, terrible costumes & casting.

[@Lukemooredrums]

@@chosentwo9730 not gonna lie I didn't even know there were new ones. I only ever watched the first 2. From the sounds of it good thing as well

[@chosentwo9730]

@@Lukemooredrums did you watch the one with Rennel? Cus that’s the real one. The one with Jamie is more for entertainment as opposed to more accurate representations. But honestly I salute everyone involved in top boy , as regardless it’s creating more opportunities & shines more light on UK / London urban culture

He's right, Sully for all his faults still has a code he lives by and that wouldn't have fit. Dushane on the other hand is Machiavellian to the core, so tactical snitching is something you can believe him doing.

That first Netflix season of Top Boy was such a big moment for the UK, so many rappers in it too, actually the year it came out, Kano, Dave and Little Simz who all had big roles in Top Boy had the highest rated albums of the year in all music on AlbumOfTheYear critically, any Americans or others who have never heard their music I’d highly recommend, 3 of the best rappers in the world

[@adanhamza5360]

Kind of knew it before, but it's even more impressive how Kano dedicates himself to his craft! Man is a legend 🙌🏼

Top isn’t a documentary it’s a show and Kano is an actor. These man going on like Vlad TV trying to draw Kano into some criminal monologue. Respect the art and treat the man like a professional artist, not a reformed gangster.

[@PranksandPodcasts]

Kano is a pioneer in UK music and urban culture, he knows what he’s talking about

[@westington1]

I saw Kano out shopping in Selfridges way back in 05 (I think)…. I was a big fan, and went over to say hello. Was thinking he might not want to be disturbed when out shopping etc, and was unsure how he’d react. He couldn’t have been any nicer. Really humble, and didn’t mind being disturbed at all. Gave us a load of his time; chatting about growing up in East London (I’m not far off his age, and grew up in Canning Town), and U.K. hip hop and garage / grime. Always been a big fan of his music, but even more impressed by his acting in Top Boy. Got an abundance of talent Kano, and just seems humble and down to earth all round

[@MatheusRodrigues-tp9kd]

The street thing about respect is real. In that typa environment it’s different. If somebody disrespects you to your face and you don’t do anything, automatically that person and everybody else around looks at you like a bitch, then word travels round that you let so and so diss you and you didn’t do anything, then before you know it other ppl start feeling more comfortable disrespecting you because they don’t feel like they’ll be any repercussions, then you just keep goin further and further down the food chain til you put your foot down and do something. I know this shit from experience them typa ppl prey on any typa weakness you show

[@djwestbrook36]

This ain’t a street thing. This is a life thing. The only reason why some “corporate/office types” people don’t do this is because their safety is not their responsibility but the police. Otherwise, this has always been the case that you need to remain your reputation.

[@afrodude4782]

​@@djwestbrook36I see what you're saying but there's a difference between an argument with a coworker than an argument with a street dude in the hood. The situation can go way tf left and your life may be forfeit

Wish every actor had this level of integrity and respect for the characters they play. Could have saved GOT if the actors involved (who hated the scripts) had done what Kano has done here

kano is a proper artist he has never sold out. His music was and still is underground.

I think the difference is this, Americans look through this in an American lens . The street gang culture in Uk isn’t part of black culture but city culture there’s been street gangs in e.London and s.London way before black immigrants turned up on British shores going all the way the way back to Victorian times these areas were notorious for gangs and poverty when the vast majority of the population was white. Charles Dickens made a career out of writing about the east London rookeries . Unlike America there was no significant white flight from these inner city areas the poorest white families had simply nowhere to fly to . The black immigrants didn’t introduce the gang culture they adopted into it . The American concept of the black hood bears no relation in London because these areas were hoods before black people ever turned up . Glasgow a city with no significant black population has one of the highest murder rates in Europe much of which is gang affiliated. The UK has long tradition of gang violence, hell we invented football hooligans in the UK it’s a local tradition as British as fish n chips
