Shifty freestyle - Westwood

[@Mattdem]

Shifty originally put Manny on the Map let's be honest.

[@jamesmason5146]

Innit not bugzy

[@sublowsubstep8632]

Way B4 Bugzy

[@aidanbradley8568]

big up them borth

[@1zanderking]

Dun know

[@byronc7134]

Can't forget wrigley

[@DonLaa]

2024 anyone here

[@byronbegley6502]

8th of may 2024, came here from a tiktok where Aitch talked about him and hyped him up, he wasn't lying, said he had a bad accident and that's why he doesn't rap now, I hope he's good, man had bars.

[@The_Real_HEAD]

Here from the same tiktok

[@byronbegley6502]

@The_Real_HEAD my man, guy was great, I wish I could hear more!

[@M_Aden]

8th of May 2024, also here from Aitch talking about this on the shxts and gigs podcast happy I came

[@GandalfsBeard94]

Guy would shit all over today's artists if it wasn't for the accident​@@byronbegley6502

[@drimple21]

I hope there’s people here in 2019, here to appreciate this greatness. Still one of the best lyrical freestyles there is, shame what happened to this guy, genuinely believe he’s one of the best.

[@thomaspercy9386]

Sam Conway completely agree. 2020 still more than fire 🔥

[@kayla-rv8ol]

hes making a comeback check his Instagram big_shiftz1

[@jamiedoyle2928]

I mean I love and grew up on shiftys music... But to say its one of the best lyrical freestyles is a reach 🤣

[@kayla-rv8ol]

Jamie Doyle no it’s not back when grime was real not none of this shit today

[@serialchiler]

Shifty manny legend

[@murffone5420]

14 mins of the realest grime. i must of watched this 100 times atleast

[@kieranfishtanks3733]

So true, true grime here.

[@BobHarlie]

Can remember buying this kids homemade mixtape off a street corner. Phenomenon like I never heard. Best in uk by a country mile. Shame about the crash.

[@bakingsodabakingsoda]

Who’s listening on quarantine?

[@Elvis-yo5yc]

How has this not reached a mil, shifty got some barsss

[@alphakilo6283]

This guy put Manny on the map.

[@itzMoments]

At least someone knows it was shifty and not bugzy

[@declangallagher7618]

+ByMoments anyone that is old enough....my little cousin says he loves grime....so i asked him to play me a grime tune....he played me krept and konnan dont waist my time. I played him slk hype hype and slapped him in the face.

[@itzMoments]

lol

[@gloverdragon6854]

it was bugz that put manny on the map, shifty received was 1st, it's true and people saw he had talent but his accident took him out too soon after that bugzy came in and pushed manny further...just my opinion, though, i could understand if someone had a differing opinion.

[@RWMunro]

Glover dragon you havent got a clue lad

[@Enthcreations]

I think that I'm the only 38 years old Italian guy that listens to old Manchester grime. Shifty was talented.

[@martysweat5924]

FOGLIA NERA GRAPHICS mad that

[@oXoChEzZaoXo]

RESPECT

[@weedie2799]

Nice.

[@kieranfishtanks3733]

Bugzy was still eating cold beans while shifty was smashing mixtapes on market street

[@MichelangeloMyers]

Yes 🤣🤣🤣

[@j4yb968]

2021 and Shifty still got the hardest freestyle on WestwoodTv!! #Legendary

[@Tjscrafield]

One of the best spitters that have been on Westwood i think

[@Grimerater]

I watch this at least once a month nobody has spat 15 mins of fire like this

[@doepbeats9485]

fact

[@kyeotee9410]

Still here 2019 and hes still levels ahead of any grime guy from Manchester imagine how far he could of went

[@myles199]

straight bars for 15 mins....This is what grime's about...

[@kaymans3048]

Anyone here in 2021? If this guy wasn’t youtube ripped on your Sony Ericsson Walkman you didn’t listen to Grime. If socials had the influence they do now we would be speaking in the same category as Bugzy & Aitch. He fully put manny on the map regardless of what Bugzy did to the scene and deserves far more respect than he ever got

[@vTHE_HiTMANv]

Facts !!!

[@ArmaniG88]

My mans coming back. . Just wait for the fire💥💥💥💥

[@tobyrising9279]

Still listening in 2016 ! This is still 🔥 now

[@19tobin88]

Toby Rising Still listening in 2018 g

[@niamhswain3016]

2024 still ere

[@MikeLee-27]

It wasn't the car crash that ended his career, it was Tim Westwood, he made him spit every single bar he had ever lol !!!

[@hornby396]

I fucking wish he never had that car crash.. What a spitter, him N Meany were Manny's two coldest ever. His n Sox's clash woulda been a madness

[@theoverthinkingalien224]

I'm from Birmingham and I admit that Shifty at his best would have given Sox a lot of trouble. Sox does great on diss tracks but not too well in face-to-face clashes.

[@xcallmeloose7706]

can’t even lie shifty by far one of the best to come outta manny💯 if he ever came back it’s curtains for most man

[@daftbunny8818]

grime is not the same without this guy

[@ModernDayPiratesMCR]

he's making a comeback

[@Lynxchillin08]

@@ModernDayPiratesMCR Is he ?

[@ModernDayPiratesMCR]

@@Lynxchillin08 Check his insta bro (@big_shiftz1), he was when I posted it... I'm hoping he's gonna still giving it a go, but regardless he's still making art and that's a blessing

[@realb6440]

2020 and shifty is still the best MC to come from Manchester! I grew up listening to him and the rest of mayhem crew... The good old days haha

[@sollysol6051]

Had to listen to my man again since bugzy mentioned the first one to put manny on the map

[@bigneeks3324]

Watching in 2019 going into 2020. This was Englands best at the time and I'm sure if he ever comes back he'll be the best again. Content, flows, cadence, he's got it all! Manny wouldn't be anything without this man here

[@kayla-rv8ol]

Real talk

[@BeastsandRebels]

i miss this guy man!! please shift come back on the scene!!!

[@snoopys14]

+Peak Rock not sure he will car crash messed him up years ago he was hard

[@Exidose]

+Tony Salmon facebook.com/WrigzC4/videos/990312767674227/ Don't give up hope yet bro :p Think he's about to make a come back.

[@CertifiedMonsta]

[@kash9690]

Meany and shifty best in manny and always will be fact!

[@olivergriffiths9706]

Kash 96 Wakas there ahahha

[@dondiddy7529]

One of the many guys that really put many on the map years before Bugsy did, Mayhem days, Wrigz and Shifty!

[@scarterex8158]

this still gives me goosebumps

[@gangsterninja100]

why do ppl dislike this? He is a fellow human being that is tryin to drag his ass along the mud in the world. He is rapping his heart out, nothing bad here!

[@andrewstanworth5501]

2020 and cant believe this has never reached 1million views.

[@RTCW-ET-MOVIES]

All we need now is Devlin & Shifty.... listened to Shifty before he was big....

[@RTCW-ET-MOVIES]

[@princeartistuk7932]

What happened to this brother? I used to listen to him hard when back in the day a friend I had in Manny used to show me his music! I remember he did Back In The Days! Went in! Salute from Bristol don.

[@Timpzzz]

He had a fatal car accident late 2009 which almost killed him. he has done the odd tune/video since but just isnt the same as i believe he was left with minor but recoverable brain damage. this is his latest video /watch?v=TvVW92Eja4k you'll see what i mean. its just a blessing he is still alive

[@princeartistuk7932]

damn man thats deep.. Lyrically hes still >>>>! Upsetting to see him like that but Praises be to God and I rate him for still doing his thing even so hes still > most people tbh! Biggup for telling me what happened though always wondered uno g

[@Timpzzz]
