[@MunchClubTV]

This is the fucking SHOUT.

[@jack6080]

bro ive been thinking this, think those two would gel nicely

[@andrewbrooks8354]

you aint the only one Nash been wanted CAS to work with a lot of big names

[@iamtimi3798]

The fact that he reached me with his music in the states when I was a kid is a MARK IN MUSIC HISTORY. I've been paying attention to UK garage/grime/rap ever since 2003 I am forever grateful for this countries lyrical talent. FlowDan, Mike, Wiley, Dizzee, Skepta etc etc etc If any of you lot read this! BIG UP!

[@MagicFromThe0161]

As a 28 year old Englishman, big up mate ! Mike Skinner is the OG .

[@TGFLdn24]

"Yeah yeah, most defiantly " is the usual sign a interviewer is thinking more about the next question they are going to ask rather than taking in what the person has said.

[@MsDarkie93]

That guy from London Posty does this alllll the time

[@TGFLdn24]

jahhutrt lepeed respect to Posty tho, I know he is not a expert at this interview thing and he does provide the jokes but they need to let Viz lead with the questions and posty should keep it basic loooool.

[@TGFLdn24]

Bradley Stocker yep I do it too but this is the usual delaying tactic from some interviewers 😄😄, wish they could of been as relaxed and engaged as they was with tinie tempah one.

[@aldanielfrancis5190]

but to be fair i wondered where viz was, posty used his broad shoulders to carry the interview, the even better thing was that mike was chilled and reflective and honest liked his character, glad for shamz too as she put in a few good Q's, viz pull ya finga out lol

[@raythompson9012]

legend.. a lot of people wont even no who he is

[@TGFLdn24]

Ray Thompson you mean a lot of people under a certain age?

[@raythompson9012]

That guy from London yeah that's the 1 lol

[@TGFLdn24]

Mark Jason most def, he was everywhere on the mainstream back in the day. Even "urban" haters back in the day loved/intrigued by this guy.

[@xSalamz]

Dry your eyes mate

[@raythompson9012]

xSalamz top tune

[@ukjim9062]

Such a high level of integrity which is rare in a culture of people constantly trying to flaunt their wealth or prove themselves.

[@ozzymeck870]

Blinded by the Lights - will always be a classic tune!

[@Cornflake81]

Dude changed my musical direction. Lets push things forward remix with Roll Deep was what got me into the grime scene.

[@darrensmith13]

He has to be the most humble and special artist the uk has to offer

[@MrCostelloJ]

The Escapist, weak become heroes, it's too late, has it come to this. Bangers upon bangers.

[@cliproulette]

JSBOXINGPLANET 7 still all relevant till this day

[@tazzzartist]

"First thing this morning you ironed my shirt for me, at lunch break we were vibing on the phone, This evening i brought back DVD's, but I'm alone with the TV". Who remembers this classic? Let's see who gets it right.

[@johnegan2632]

Mitchell brothers

[@jimmynorman87]

TaZzZ example remix was quality

[@Mattdem]

Still got that song on my phone. Classic.

[@a.aa.a2310]

Telly tubbys

[@danielthomas495]

[@connormcleland9791]

Mike Skinner needs massive comeback been to long since his bangers like pirate material and blinded by the lights what man 👌

[@MrCostelloJ]

[@godvesta4510]

Paved the way for so many rappers to date 💯

[@PickeringSamuel]

[@Misty21109]

Another great interview 💥🇬🇧

[@asheni78]

[@Flowzane]

asheni78 :D :D :D

[@JamalW239]

One of the best and most unique to ever touch mic. He is to the UK what MF DOOM is to the yanks. If you haven't already, read his book 'The Story of the Streets'.

[@MicWars]

If the youngers don't know Mike Skinner, educate them... don't come on here trying to score browny points.

[@ZacDowen1]

Real Talk!!! I always tell my sister and brother to listen!!!!

Mike you are a serious guy! inspirational words and as good as the Wiley interview love when people got not fakeness about them. I would truely love to have a convo and spend a day with Mike Skinner.

[@KyleSLFC]

The Streets on the last tour was still one of the best gigs I've been too was live🔥🔥🔥

[@P0GFLIPPER]

One of the best from Britain, honesty will get you far.

[@DJCarlosBarz]

[@stevebb2915]

Mikes so talented. it went wrong for the streets when he started singing his own choruses. the first two albums were untouchable, the last one was good as well.

[@Demloxx]

Mike Skinner what a legend! Great Interview :)

[@greggwhyman1328]

Legend...the sound of my youth!

[@iWatch92]

I'm glad they talked about the Mitchells. I still bang their music to this day, particularly A Breath of Fresh Attire

[@MrCostelloJ]

5:40 fam get off your phone and show respect ✊

[@MrCostelloJ]

Hicory Dock even worse bro. If he done his research before he wouldn't have that problem

[@ak-9295]

he has a weird attitude towards mike in this whole interview i thought.

[@MrCostelloJ]

A Cox for real

[@bombaclut7458]

or maybe thats where his interview notes and questions are?

[@dantaylor7344]

True! Any journalist worth their weight in gold would have the question on PAPER for ALL to see transparency!

[@Maydaymusik]

OG.

[@jaspersazerac8119]

Mike Skinner. I went to the streets "last gig" three times. I found this annoying at the time (you cheeky chappy) as I had very little money but couldn't resist an opportunity to see you again and again. I have a lot of hope for the future, but looking back at it now those were the best days of my life. Thank you. And Big up NFTR this show is the one.

[@masterdd2251]

a true legend, big up mike

[@jackadeemus6310]

I'm 25mins in and am yet to hear him answer a single question without getting sidetracked.

[@EscoSar]

Thiiiis Guy!!! His Beat Stevie stuff was a maadness lol Super Saiyan Salute to Mike Skinner!!!

[@burhanahmed6239]

Has it come to this💯🤷‍♂️

[@RayleighSho]

well timed

[@bigmoneysteppa]

midlander goes to London and creates a vibe. happens time and time again.

[@kylerussell5995]

Legendary interview 💯

[@MrGayle_]

HAS IT COME TO THIS !!!!

[@trevorkovacs7821]

It's sick looking at Mike Skinner from outside of the box here in California.. much respect and have to say there aren't many artists here in the US that can produce such an ageless piece of art like The Streets. Although I will never be able to connect to the material in the same way that people involved in the culture were, what captivates me are his lyrics that make me feel like I'm witnessing that scene as it was. How many artists have tried to portray there projects as interwoven pieces of art but how many were actually cohesive and successful in "painting" their image? Not many.

[@romanwolujewicz]

You totally get it, Trevor!

[@oliver6095]

The only hip / grime artist that is white and don't speak like his black

[@sarahc561]

That's cause he's Garage.

At the Hight of The Streets success, he was putting the underground grime scene on his remixes. Mike kept it real

[@amybrown5431]

Wretch 32 best fire in the both mike lad!

[@danielunknown2453]

id class him as a poet not a rapper

[@kade290488]

daniel unknown yes. !

[@theodoraklimentova7415]

Totally! That's what I've been thinking for 15 years

[@aw9636]

Yeah he's no rapper. Defo Urban Poet. A very good one at that with his own unmistakable tone/flow

[@kishan5262]

Fucking Don, without him the scene would be very different. He brought the everyday struggles to our music. It just shit we can all relate too, that is why its so good.

[@JordsM95]

Skrapz NFTR is HAPPENING

[@hodsonstreets]

[@BradBoi95]

Nines, Mist, J hus and Jaykae need an NFTR.

[@1968thuglas]

Such a shame that the interviewers were so poor, was really looking forward some insightful question about Skinners musical process and inspirations. Shame, but still love Mike, genius.

[@directorced_2793]

NFTR can u get da lads from the manor on for an interview? Would be sick to learn more about them?

[@kmma1094]

Akala best fire in booth

[@ERA-id1xs]

Big Up Chantelle Fiddy!

[@wills101]

An Ice Statue..........What made of ICE?. Jeezzz that guy is thick.

[@lamnestor4399]

A Grand Don't Come For Free - TIMELESS! CLASSIC!

[@tinkincrepz7462]

wasn't really into mike skinner when he was big but nobody of a certain age can say they haven't heard a track of his. legendary for british music and still involved. I'm way older than most and wasn't really feeling eski beats either in the beginning but what it's turned into currently is big. British music has finally found it's own lane and ironically now the world is taking note. Ironically again forget the beef hype that comes with the wiley x dizzee clash but how sick would it be for british music,world music and them individually if at this stage in their careers if wiley and dizzee got on a track together and went H.A.M for ten minutes! str8 🔥.

[@reggiestylestv]

is Vis even in the room?..loool, cool interview

[@Flowzane]

kano best fire in the booth

[@nathanmonahan7346]

nah man it feels like an interrogation posty just staring into mans eyes loool
