Kano - Newham Talks with Idris Elba

[@ryancdallas]

It's mad to hear Kano say he still finds it hard to call himself an actor. He was absolutely outstanding in Top Boy, so real! Such a talented guy.

[@PR7-82]

I know. I just wish I knew more about where he and the rest of the cast are regarding filming season 4. I know everyone needs to be safe first so measures will be put in place. Can't wait to see more of Kane as Sully. Yay 🙌 Kano!

[@barry4649]

Ryan Dallas 100%, he was robbed of a BAFTA or something in my opinion, he was outstanding in it

[@jackdaniels4346]

And in the teardrops video he just dropped

[@ryancdallas]

Can't forget to mention Dave as well, he was pretty believable as a psychopath when he was playing Mode lol

[@jackdaniels4346]

Ryan Dallas Krept said on twitter that Dave basically played himself and wasn’t acting

[@musicwithguitars]

Not only is Kane a top musician and actor, I know it’s not his priority but man is an excellent interviewer too. Doesn’t interrupt, let’s the chat flow, asks great and spontaneous follow up questions that actually excite the listener. A lot of so called journalists in this country could learn a thing or two from K A. Big up!!

[@maselm]

Harry Kane?

[@beebambie887]

Yes! Kano has excellent active listening skills! ...he engages well with the guests! ❤

[@KarlNova]

I would really like to see Kano and Idris Elba in a movie or series together. It would actually be sick. Someone please make this happen. Get them a great script and budget! Ya nah mean?

I wonder what the statement actually means? When he says 'like' Idris I wish he could explain. Everyday we are given info about celebs doing stuff. Be good to understand what he means by 'like'?

[@TakeMeBackPirateRadio]

@@Letheseus It's London slang!! There's nothing judgmental or abusive about that comment.

I'm loving this series!! 👌👌 I'm a Newham born n raised baby, so seeing these talented people who were raised in the same Borough is great. I hope you will interview Michaela Coel too, I love her work. Thank you for this series, I'm looking forward to seeing more. 😀

East ham to Canning Town was a regular bop for me and the man dem on barking Road. Its so good to see how such a small place developed such '' big people ''. Han tight Newham from the 7.

[@tuesdayschild8994]

Newham isn't gentrified. Still very much deprived. Don't let 'Stratford city' fool you or the one street by the Docklands stations or Wanstead flats.

[@sos1474]

😅 Same!!

Kano is so good at interviewing people. Im loving these.

Being from Gate and hearing them talk about your ends is kind mad!lol the amount of talent Newham produced is insane!

[@vampzmontana8564]

East always been the best frm day 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

[@TakeMeBackPirateRadio]

E7 always had big talent and it's nice Kano is celebrating that. He's humble because he never forgot where he came from.

[@TheAlkebulanTrust]

Nuff people have made it out of Newham u kno...forgot Idris Elba was raised in that borough too. These types of conversations are inspiring to see. It gives the next generations that bit of hope...true or correct?

[@user-av94566]

He was born and raised in Hackney. He didn't move to Canning Town, Newham until his second year in secondary school.

Are you finished or are you done. Just messing. Both are affirmative

[@tanzapettiford]

I've seen plenty of interviews of Idris, however, this was by far the best. Kano did such an amazing job playing Sully in Top Boy. Real & Authentic. Great things are on the horizon for him. Nuff respect for them both 👋🏽👍🏽👌🏽👊🏽🙌🏾❤

[@MrAndyc220]

Kano = massive inspirational figure Idris = legend

[@symh2813]

Both legends in their own craft

[@saureeeegogo]

Kano has most def earned to be called legend. In therms of grime and uk ug music scene

[@ellispalmer9220]

I say Inspiration, legends if you choose to idolise other human beings. Kane is clearly interviewing these people and filming it in order to inspire others... He could’ve clearly have this conversation away from the public eye

[@jamienroche]

Wrong way round

I really enjoyed this, I used to run for Newham and Essex Begals as well. Such memories. ❤

Idris is so down to earth, you can tell he is an honest and respectful man, even with big stacks in the yard. :)

[@mollflower725]

Ryan White did he take you for a drink afterwards? 😂

[@user-xl9it9ky3b]

I watched the teardrops video this morning and I have to say this. I have been a fan of you from risky road days, listened to every album you’ve put out and all I can say is I hope you feel happy and that you have received all the credit and everything else you deserve!! I hate to make comparisons but you are as significant to us and when I say “us” I mean grime fans from the uk as jay z or nas or biggie, pac, big pun, rakim, kool g rap, the list goes on as they were to America and the hip hop culture. A lot of people have had short spouts of fame, money, recognition in your genre but you have not only stayed consistent but honest, humble and modest. You are a true genius and a legend. I hope you see this message. Thank you for blessing our lives with your music.

[@JANUPTHESET]

I love the sneak peaks from friends man, best thing ever

[@bongo_flex231]

I hope after this series, kano expands the show nationally to other black prominent and unsung British artist. He is really personable and humble. His explanation to the reason why he doesn't consider himself a actor shows such much Humility and respect to the industry, even Idris noticed that.

[@erictaylor465]

I think Kano is victim of his own genius he's too clued up to let people get the better of him. Great interview!!! Trust me I remember all those NF stories I used to box at Peacock Gym in Canning Town back in the day. It's mental when you think about those times. Kano please interview DJ Randy C (former manager of Deja Vu FM) he was from Custom House/Canning Town.

[@TakeMeBackPirateRadio]

@Luke Davis That pirate radio movement was what made Kano and I hear him talk about Randy C still in his lyrics to this day because Kano respects his past and the people that built the scene.

[@mickandtraceycope7826]

'I always fought about being put in a box'. The actors who play characters you're not expecting always make for great viewing and great admiration...And when they put something of themselves in the role it can be spellbinding. It"s just being true to yourself and not being bound by others thoughts. The Mrs loved Idris as an actor but when she saw him DJ'ing it blew her mind and she loved him even more..She wasn't expecting it she thought he just acted..
