TASK FORCE'S FARMA G: UK HIP HOP ROYALTY FINALLY AIR'S HIS STORY, GET READY.

[@eviled2925]

I put jehst on the 'firepower' track with gunshot and taskforce on disorda's mixtape. he wasn't originally going to be on it, but I persuaded him to come along on the coach with me and I blagged him on it. I knew once gunshot heard him they would let him be on it. people don't know things like that.

[@stephenneedham106]

@evil ed wow, I love this story, I remember seeing that on the tape and thinking wow thats a mad feature, I had liquid diction, and had met Jehst at Mudlumz, and loved Gunshot from battlecreak brawls times, so that was it, I had to cop that tape just for this tune, also loved that tune you produced for task force, the tournament, that shit went hard I used bang that 12 on the regular! props.

Farma is the best hip hop producer/ beat maker I've ever heard & His brother Chester P is the best Rapper/MC I've ever heard. No disrespect intended but them being the best in the world talentwise yet still being unsuccessfull made me realise a lot about the world & industries and still influence my life/career/Art decisions today.

[@kevinblackandwhite8273]

Im a huge fan Farms! Of you, and of Taskforce. I'm from down in South Africa.. and ya'lls albums got me through some heavy heavy shit. Thank you so much for your contribution. Back in the day.. Taskforce, Louis Slippaz, Skinny, Skitz, Roots Manuva, Phi Life Cypher (From Luton)... and more recently, the guys spitting on the 'High Focus' platform (Dirty Dike, 4 Owls, Jam Baxter, Leaf, Ocean.. all dem man deh), really represent UK Hip Hop around the world. I've travelled all over, and I've unfortunately been locked up in various countries.. let me be the one to tell you, that Taskforce bangs in cell blocks from 'Champ-Dollon' in Geneva, 'Fleury' in France, 'Kritad' in Palestine, and 'Pollsmoor' back down in Cape Town. So... can't knock the struggle rap.

[@robertsmithshair4199]

cant believe he sent me back 30+ years to the school playground there, what he describes is what I remember. 'Nittos' must be something unique to that part of north London as I've never heard it since 😂

Farma g, absolute legend, been listening to him and Chester for nearly 20 years now, met him in Huddersfield a few years ago but never really seen any interviews with him except this, and I must say what a guy, so humble and knowledgeable, really interesting listening to what he says about everything from music and hip hop to day to day, love hearing about the London history too very educational. A brilliant watch for me really made my day thanks farma and killa!

Love this! You guys were and indeed remain an inspiration and a positive influence in the world of UK Hip Hop, great memories of experiencing your live acts at Exeter Uni back in the early 2000's. I love the reality, honesty and good humour and vulnerability here. Thanks for being willing to share, that's powerful and empowering for others. God bless you both and go well, Marcus :-)

You know that he should no better than to have said that , he could of said Chester p the pen game changer who else was writing such dark and imaginative with killa punchline thrown in back then in the UK or next to skinnyman the most humble rappers and managed to write a song about the homeless that wasent cringey cheese paternising shite that makes the man richer while the poor probably got 5 percent , Chester did wat he could and if that's giving out sleeping bags then he goes for it and my man is hardly Stormzy or fuckin aitch (the world fucked not saying aitch is bad he can flow but just hear wat they were doing at aitches words and cadence) he could of just said the all round legend that is Chester, he's lucky to have farma as a bro his production and beats are his own style he's a genius his samples are crazy Wen I first heard them my mate worked away for a year and came back with the first corner LP with one of my faves stranger on the shore it was farmas voice is wat struck me at first and then Chester comes in and I look at the photo of them with Chester's staffy my fave breed and I was like not only is this the best hip hop I've ever heard they look and dressed like me and my pals it simply put me on my arse then the Lou slippaz 10pound bag CDs and phi life cypher who are from my home town Luton and that then was me on that side of UK hip hop all I knew was old school brotherhood kalleef blak twang and London posse , shame bout wat happend with lowlife I still can't listen to biro funk I want to but it breaks my heart that I'm listening to the man that had every penny from the LP that should of made skinnyman it was the biggest selling UK hip hop ever , let me know if I'm being a dick n that I should just listen to the music and forget about the author , bless I'm really high , super sour Kush it's crazy ✌️👊

Do you know that one he did it's a real dark spooky tune the hook goes on about the ghost in the TV and it's themes range from conspiracys to spaced out wordplay , the legendary u Tube UK hip hop downloader mount jarvis has put it up , but it's the best lyrics I've heard from him its on par with Chester's darker moments and even rivels jam baxsters streams of consciousness but I've not seen it on any LP or EP it's not a bonus track on a European version of any of his projects it's not on a regular realease but a vinyl only track it's just like been put on u tube if it's and I could well be a leftover track that wasent used on any projects wich to me crazy like NOEL GALLAGHER lol leaving the master plan of his LP and in his case many many more , but the one thing I rate on u tube is it's like a treasure hunt somedays your hunting to find a tune other days they find u and it blows u away and it pops into your head so you put in farma g on u tube and look for it but it's gone, now normally u ho back and write the song title in well.... now this is worse seen as I'm a complete music obsessive nut job who hold bare music knowledge from indie, 60s , 80s(only the cool shit) hip hop, grime , drill, trap 90s American boombap from NY g funk from Cali , dub, reggae, dancehall, ska , it goes on all of that and I can't remember the name of my favourite farma tune and it's doing my nut in I've got new speakers to pump it out to piss the neibours off, big up farms and kela for making this such an enjoyable chat cos that's wat u were doing interview is neaver that relaxed ✌️👊👊
