I'm a simple man; I see 'Skinnyman...' I thumbs up, then I watch. I wish Skinny would start his own podcast or something, could listen to his opinions and anecdotes all day long.

[@nublu6344]

His music is better work in explaining whats he is about. But all works. And you have pod cast. This guy should be rewarded for influence world wide. Such balanced speech. 2021

[@Warzone_mafia]

Yeah same here 😂😂😂

[@m.c.SHoppIng.cenTrE]

i found it really moving to be honest, i don't know his music at all but my old mate said he was cool so i figured he would have a sensible opinion. he was one of the many rappers i would have stupidly dismissed as bein a ~wHi88eR~ BACK IN THE DAY ..... but he easily batted off these #ST00PiD questions and really touched my heart! god bless the dude, and u too! although your name is 'SEMI' makes me laff :) to me , a 'SEMI' is something that wakes me up at 7am still (luckily) :)

[@vicreaves3077]

Met him a couple of times way back and he's a good man, true to himself. Big up skinny!

[@johnryan8173]

Very intelligent man

[@danbanks2073]

Yeah very intelligent man, have you ever seen him in the BBC documentary called slinging n.shotting? He is a lot younger but he was still speaking so well, he's a good guy!!!

[@andrewcraven6448]

[@FlipLifeMedia]

Stupid questions how? Skinny is our family. He was there because of love and gave great insight on very interesting questions

[@m.c.SHoppIng.cenTrE]

@@FlipLifeMedia well for a start, the title question is it's own answer :) By the original definition of racism, that people are divided into groups based on inherited characteristics, physical and social! So anyone who asks this question, or answers this question must at least recognise that the discussion is going to be about 'Racial groups' so your question is racist in itself. but now the definition has been blurred over decades to include racial bigotry, intolerance, preference, oppression, hatred, discrimination etc, etc basically renders the terms 'Racist' and 'Racism' totally pointless. unless people like to use it to stir emotions and catch people in a circular question full of contradiction, or more often than not to dismiss somebody as being a bad person because they have concerns about the world they experience. the fact one of the interviewers kept referring to white rappers as 'they or Them ' indicates she is comfortable to appear racist publically, but does that mean she is a bad person ??? The modern definitions have skewed the term so much that most people don't even know what it means anymore. There are many scholars and evolutionists who argue that Races do not exist, (the real #AntiRacists) and we are all the same but with slight differences based on geography and cultural standards that vary as populations interact. But we all know hatred, bigotry, discrimination, nepotism and prejudice are real things and the fixation is always on 'Race' issues instead of Cultural issues, those are the real questions, but people keep using these Trick questions and people keep falling for it. #Grifter___Tools

So true about brands he is on about. I remember supreme had brought out a tee that was mocking the LV and Gucci monograms as a “fuck you” sorta thing and they lit we’re getting threatened with being sued. Now Supreme have gone on to collab with LV.

[@tonymoran6353]

Nice to see a lowkey musical legend and national treasure talk sense like a normal geezer without getting an erection over the fact he knows he's coming off as intelligent just speaking his opinions

[@danw331]

How hasn't he entered politics yet

[@FlipLifeMedia]

They don't let real ones like that in politics. Look at Corbyn. And Skinny wouldn't even play the game how he tried.

[@al3e2x19]

Of course there is! Black rapper called aj tracey does a song called Tiago silver ,white guy covers his bit live at glasto but forgot the original Artist, black rappers express whats going on in their lives yet get banned on KZbin

[@semicedar9795]

Skinny Man had to be careful how he spoke. Cause the inteviewer tried to draw him out on a few of them questions so he had to be smart. If you watch closely you can see Skinny man thinking about every single questioned before he answer. Because one wrong thing said thats his arss so you have to be careful when your a star

[@sonsofthetribe]

Big up Skinny man. But I aint feeling the Elijah and Farakhan shit, research that brother.

[@darrenfair7207]

Agreed,nation of islam is a hateful racist organisation out to divide the races just like BLM.
