The Rise And Fall Of Section Boyz [Mini Documentary, 2021]

[@benjaminjames3499]

You’re a mint story teller when it comes to musicians past. Rate you mate

[@RIDEMusicYT]

Thank you bro - really means a lot! 👊

[@Wideout4]

Lock Arf shoulda been an Hit on American charts

[@moaliize]

Abracadabra is a perfect example of having a buzz loosing it re gaining it a few years later. These lot are not consistent enough. They needed to flood the streets with street anthems just like how they used to be. Sometimes you need to go back to start and do what got you all the streams views ect

[@mikispeakz]

It was easier for Abz because ofb were blowing up

[@ChrissyNCL]

Wanted this video for long - massive fan of Section Boyz - was gutted when they disappeared for a while then ‘re branded’. Can’t wait to see what you’ve found out bro 👊🏻🎥🍿👀🖤🤍

[@djshocka2007]

What did they re brand as ? I liked them aswell didn't even know why they disappeared

[@rs9815]

Wanted someone to make this video for so long, people don’t understand how influential these guys were

[@RIDEMusicYT]

Exactly man, super influential. Still think they could have been even bigger though, but I guess we'll never know.

[@mexicocityrevsmagazine8350]

🤌👏🏾

[@493HZ]

It's crazy how they're just scrubbed from the collective consciousness

[@jxy2386]

The name change was the main thing. Due to the fact that they could not release any music as a collective with that name that’s why they all tried to do solo and duet songs and a lot of features. Court hearings and all that took a long time which really did cause them to fall off

[@smolgok384]

Pretty sure I remember seeing a section boyz interview confirming that an old manager refused to let them use that name

[@randomfencesitter]

Yeah it was their NFTR one I think

[@kuroshjohnsalimi]

They had issue with someone copyrighting their name I think I hear in a interview with them it was a friend of theirs too

[@meezanlmt]

True it was their old managers.

[@ridleysmusic420]

It was reeko

[@jonnytyrer]

You’re ace mate, great video. Raises more questions than it answered, why wait three years, urgh! Thanks again for the great content. Peace x

[@RIDEMusicYT]

Thank you bro! And I know man, with these videos there's still so much information that's just not out there yet. Maybe in a the coming years they'll speak more on that gap in interviews.

[@samsquanch4257]

You seem to be on the come up pal, enjoy it. Love seeing you on me recommended page you've got this

[@adamcee3887]

Which part of the northeast are you from bro? Av just subscribed get channel.

[@lottolooth2884]

Section boys popularised brand like trapstar and even smooth gangster.Around the time everyone was buying smooth gangster cause of them .Everyone started copying their slang saying “lock arf” .also “peng” as an ad-lib that’s how big and popular they were and how much impact they had

[@kuroshjohnsalimi]

Such a good video, I always wondered how they dropped off after that drake video

[@looouis219]

Section boyz don’t get enough credit they really started a wave remember first hearing them wasn’t nothing like them at the time

[@RIDEMusicYT]

100% bro, I think if you were engaged in the culture at that time then you felt the impact they made.

[@Lk-sq4fp]

"We changed the whole world but people act dumb" Lmao listening to Lock Arf from Toronto everyday still

[@SBG_Arseny]

I never new about section boyz until now, they definitely inspired a bunch of people. And drake, that nigga is everywhere lol. Another great video as usual!

[@steezonerz]

Thanks!

[@Bne_B_]

ride bro do u have concussion? are u all good? one of ur pupils are HUGE, not hate just curious

[@mitchelltennant5540]

Alias Don million from Toronto made a drill song called dirty dot in 2003

[@493HZ]

The fall, in my opinion, was the release of the song, 'Oi'. They went towards a more grime route and it just didnt suit them.

Already done a vid on him man, jump on the channel and give it a search 🙏

[@modelgang4life922]

I love their accents✌️✌️✌️

[@rockymarciano4353]

They all were road popstars, when drill was coming out with the likes of CB, 410 etc, they realised they gotta problem, fans at that point Wer raving about realness and realising they ain't on drill time made them rethink the full shebang, that's my theory til this dayy

[@mintedham2203]

[@clavicleofcernunnos]

I actually put together a massive (mostly) chronological playlist of all the Section Boyz tracks I could find on YT and they never seem to have disappeared from releasing music in any year. (music.kzbin.info/aero/PL9VVIjatiSNatoSK18Q_I9VQoqIpC3spf&feature=share) I don't really pay attention to how many streams artists get, just whether they are active at releasing or performing. In a lot of underground genres 2 years is nothing weird or long for a group to be dormant or just touring before a group or solo artist finishes the next release.

You should put more effort into the research when it comes to videos like this. Also, don’t turn into TLR; he highlights the bad and not enough of the good. This video was ok, but would’ve been better with more info on who these dudes and career trajectory.

Thing called Uveitis bro. It was an inflammation thing, you can't catch it or anything it's genetic apparently. Anyway I had to have eye drops to sort it and one of them dilated my pupil, that's why it looks mad wide 😅

Yeah it was some inflammation thing, like a genetic thing, can't catch it or anything. Anyway I had to have drops for it and one of them dilated my pupil so it looked mad wide. Idk if maybe that's why it seems lazy on the vid. Look's like two separate people's eyes haha. Jarring but I'm not on the drop now so I'm looking normal again 😅

Does he have heterochromia or a glass eye?
