Ed Sheeran Can Really Rap?

[@Rowanvdh]

You really have to check out “you need me, I don’t need you” Ed Sheehan studio session. 15 minutes of him with his guitar and a loop paddle creating constantly different beats while spitting. It will blow your mind

[@gamingbytetv665]

I grew up with Ed, and there’s nothing “real” about him. He grew up in a middle-upper class environment but always thought he was some little chav. Used to try and buy weed but people would just bump him time and again, but it didn’t stop him trying. Musically he’s about as generic and beige as it gets. Like someone created a wheel of basic topics and he just spins it and writes whatever it lands on. Utter shit, and a bellend to boot.

[@dange6690]

Would love to see you check out “you need me, I don’t need you” Ed Sheeran Live room! Its Ed creating the song on a loop machine and rapping over it! It one of the first things that really hit for Ed and helped SBTV grow.

[@MickayG]

Devlin and Sheeran have known each other for a looooong time... they go back to at least 2010. And it's no surprise to me Ed can rap, he has done so in the past, he's a great songwriter and has been dropping bars here and there in his songs.

two bob (uncountable) (UK, Australia, obsolete) Two shillings; a florin. (Australia, slang) A 20-cent coin. (idiomatic, UK, Australia, often attributive) A trivially small value

[@Simesy]

Devs bar “I give em both barrels like lock stock” as in the movie ‘Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ easy bar that gets missed and it’s 🔥

[@skylight4475]

A 'bob' was the slang word for a Shilling, which was worth 12 old pennies in the UK. In today's money its the same as 50p, so 2 bob = £1. He's saying that the other rappers are cheap 😀😀

[@haylingray]

2 bob was 2 shillings. A 2 bob coin was known as a 2 bob bit. In Cockney rhyming slang 2 bob bit = shit. Like loads of rhyming slang it was shortened to 2 bob = shit

you missed almost every devlin bar. shows how crazy dude is. He's been one of the best on the planet for 15 years bro. real OG. go right back to the start of the tune and REALLY pay attention, theres a whole ass money scheme in there, for like 15 lines.

[@NidokingOtsutsuki]

@@BK-gh2oz if the delivery isn't for you, you're probably never going to like the dude. He has a unique kind of flow/cadence. I recommend listening to his Daily Duppy to get a solid opinion, because If you don't like that, you won't like Devlin in general. He raps over Eminem's 'forgot about dre' beat.

[@passthaherbb]

Bro, Devlin is a UK GOAT, he is an absolute spitter, the fact he doesn’t have much credibility outside the UK is a sin. Check his Fire In The Booths, Castella, Corned Beef City and Zdot Freestyles and singles like Off With Their Heads ft Wretch, The Garden, Really Cold, Community Outcast and London City…. He’s mad on the mic. And you’re correct about Devlin being a polished rapper, that man’s been going hard since he was 15 years young, goes cold

[@MalphasMikaelson]

I fuck with Devlin for quite awhile but I will say when he was young he just sounded a lot better. Not just the voice but his flow and his bars were doper imo.

2 bob = 2 shillings, pre-decimalisation. 1 pound was 20 shillings, one shilling was 12 pence hence 240d (pence) per pound. Used to have a 2-bob note over here before 1973. The pound was originally a pound of silver, so a shilling was 1/20th of a pound of silver.

[@simbz194]

Sorry but as a bar listener saying Devlins 1st verse's "flow was cool" and "it wasn't the maddest shit ever" is a huge understatement. Just the first 2 bars were enough wordplay to outdo a majority of artists in the art form across the board. Like an equation it figures. Simply cold double entendre Cos an equation is the means towards the end result but at the same time it is the end result cos thats what it equaled. Very perplex for such little words We're off the scale, but not shedding our skin like lizards Scales coming off of lizards, off the scale like how its meant literally inconceivable limitions and not shedding like lizards which is just a cherrie on top that's 2 double entendres in 2 lines let that sink in... To say Devlins first verse is just cool, wow you've got to bar up just a tad bit more and slow it down cos the guy is a rapid fire m16 as he said and it's fucked what he puts together even after how many bars have been made up until now. And these are originals
