[@OH10PlaysFootball]

Massive Skepta fan. Wanted to watch the brits purely for this but I almost felt embarrassed watching it. Poor performance, miles away from Ally Pally. Of course its a different crowd but its still a huge platform. Skanking out like he does just doesn't look right when in the centre of a venue like that. Plus the fact he was off his nut!

[@harekhoadley9255]

Graham Howard I absolutely ageee

[@TheGamingBros001]

Graham Howard very well said, he should have had a setting like Kanye had, it's v hard to please a crowd of predominantly white un-cultured people who think grime is something on there cooker after they've had there dinner, still it's a start of better things to come I hope 🙏🏼

[@noviceprepper5397]

I liked his performance. It worked for me.

[@zaknorman3032]

This is just skepta being skepta, he ain't gonna change for a platform that doesn't even want our scene where it is, personally I'm glad he did this performance rather than one similar to what stormzy did

[@OH10PlaysFootball]

Zak Norman I agree with you that he shouldn't change, perhaps don't bother at all. Stormzy is different cos he is more mainstream, skepta isn't so he should avoid this. However he didn't, so if he was trying to broaden his audience then his performance should have been 100%. Not tailored to the audience but 100% skepta. That wasn't, it was half arsed. Personally I would prefer grime artists not to try and broaden their audience cos the more people it attracts the more it becomes mainstream, which isn't good for the style of grime we know today.

[@lofilad13]

is the crowd not singing along??? wtf

[@rossbain991]

lol yeah thats the one

[@jackmcguire6810]

ktec They're all pop artists and people like that they won't know the lyrics

[@rossbain991]

Or maybe they aren't mic'ed? Pretty common thing to happen, and the song is very mainstream so not sure what your getting at Jack.

[@jackmcguire6810]

Ross Bain I'm not sure I'd go as far as mainstream, and it was pretty hard for the 'crowd' to get hyped and sing along when Skepta was prancing around high as a kite

[@rossbain991]

alright mate

[@theonly1freshmedz990]

From the crowd reaction after he finished... that didn't seem like a flop to me. He was out there by his self with million of people around him to me he was using up the stage.. the crowd seemed silent but if you really look they were singing it and who didn't know the words was still feeling it.

really? what's the point of working your butt off to earn a buck or two only to give it a dealer. seems rather pointless. he didn't seem at all high to me but I don't really know how a high person behaves. he sang, kept the beat, did alot of physical moves by himself. I don't think a high person could do that but I admit to ignorance about all stimulants

ALL COVERED maybe your right but i was really thinkin skepta was the don to take it to that next level but after watching stormzy's nftr interview he seems like he's fully clued on but in all honesty stormzy could not take it that far without skepta, skeppy paved the way and they followed, well whatever happens we are there to witness it all as the bank gets fatter the music will change it happens with most rappers/mc's lose it unless they got that legend streak

You people, especially with skepta aren't used to see him preform with proper sound equipment, just because the sound equipment is above average and able to cancel out background noise, doesnt mean the crowd was dead. I mean they could've been dead, but they also could've simply not have been picked up by the microphone.
