Why Stormzy Was Kanye's 'Backup Dancer'

[@ak-9295]

Kanye retweeted a devlin track nearly ten years before. Kanye might be a lot of things but he is a music man.

[@TrapLoreRoss]

Cheers famo. Check out my Drake x Harlem Vid if you haven't already. Covers the recent wiley stuff indirectly

[@Pyro-Moloch]

@@TrapLoreRoss Yeah, I saw it, great stuff, but I wish you made something specifically about Wiley, he's such a character, there's always smth funny going on. First he disses Skepta, then calls Drake a culture vulture, and immediately afterwards manages to piss off Giggs, and now Lethal Bizzle is accusing him of plagiarism. Such a barrage of events. And that's not to mention all of his older stories, like when how he uploaded a video of making boiled eggs with bread AKA soldiers, or his whole complicated relationship with his manager John Woolf. The guy is just hilarious. Also I'd just love if you talked more about grime in general. I feel like it's kinda underrated as a genre.

But i guess Ice Cube a legend who knows of him and did a interview with him with kevin hart no one would know of and all the US reaction videos to his music and Ed Sheeran who is really good friends with him and did interviews with him and is a phenomenon in the US introduced him to a US audience but keep being a hater you found your niche in life see how far it gets you being envious and mad of another mans come up.

[@luv83]

I don't think that he is clout chasing, it just looks like Kanye wanted to do it for the culture. If he wanted clout, just get drake on stage and he would have way more coverage.

[@acharich]

Mmm.. 💭

[@nicolasviaje7159]

for real. those articles were reaching for clicks. trying to tie it too much to grime where it was more about the people being there. All Day sounds NOTHING like Grime and the whole song is about him being from SouthSide Chicago. dressed in all black with flame throwers... Drake on the other hands has fake accents, fake slang, rips off flows and steals sounds. All with no character just to make a generic pop hit.

I think P Money VS Dot Rotten was one of the best clashes in the last ten years, so many other beefs that would be great to see in a video from your ends. Stay up bruv, much love from Texas!
