Why Stormzy Was Kanye's 'Backup Dancer'

"the stabbies" LMAO Thanks for making a video on a grime artist. Hope you'll tackle what's going on with Wiley recently.

[@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.

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.
