Listen...any man that is brave enough to leave the gang lifestyle has more steel than those who remain! Big up Zimbo!

[@sav0124]

Zimbos been out the game for time now he’s a proper og the old school badboys

[@MrSupermario21]

Anyone hating on this man is a fool when it was Gang time he was active, #Cheif #General #HeadOfTheTable now hes grown and can see the error of his ways and that we're killing eachother and getting jailed for life aint achieving nothing gotta give him credit he knows what his talking about aswell educated.

[@lisalisa1398]

When zimbo was talking about killing niggas he was a hero! Now that he is on the right path doing right for his children he is a mad man backwards I’ll leave that there! I love my people but it’s so hard to see hope in the way we think most of us have this terrible mindset! We just love negativity and to drag each other down! Zimbo in the real world we rate you we appreciate what you are doing ignore the bad mind and stay strong king I hope you read this! Tired of our people sometimes when will we ever learn 😢

[@stepnicely5479]

Zimbo was rapping and performing from day 1. Nothing but facts

[@tan9640]

The change in this man is remarkable, check his videos from 10-15 years ago, to now sounding like a qualified social scientist who understands the ins and outs of human psychology and programming

[@pregerzoreo4886]

Not even close, but the change is undeniably remarkable

[@aaronmads3106]

I’ve listened to Zimbo’s music for YEARSSS back when he rapped in a American accent. This zimbo reminds me of Tupac when he got out of jail. I’m proud to see him change ❤️

[@slizzmusic2416]

Never really rated the American ting if I’m being honest but other than that him and Stardom definitely had their time Stardom’s still going

[@FoxyV1]

Zimbo been rapping from before there was any B6-SLASH. He was the one to perform at Nifty’s funeral back in 2001 all the Johnny’s standing behind him cos they weren’t rapping then! 💯

[@johntucker4056]

Zimbo has been there done that so I think young guys should take notes. If he is saying the gang ting is dead then he should know because he done it at the hugest level possible. I grew up in brum and trus me the Johnson’s moved extremely militant! We respect negativity in the hood so most of us will say his mad but really your the mad one! Respect to zimbo keep doing your thing glad you have seen the light brudda

[@Vee2711]

Certain man can’t listen to realness cuz their stuck in the gutter. Imagine going from moving 3z a day in pots to being a financial adviser. That’s me. You ain’t gunna get there with a closed mind.

zimbo has always had that raw bad man energy and even though he doesnt do the road ting anymore he still has that presence - im from brum 90's baby, my family are from aston, trust me even the other side respected his G you know man are real when it can be felt as well as seen and there was a few man in the set like that

[@bikerboy9479]

The gangster lifestyle in uk slyly came from USA but I’d say the music side more came from us and the actual gully roadside side of the culture, lingo, way people were moving around etc was more influenced by the yardies?

[@ricardoricochet3021]

Definitely

[@cancan-8343]

Big up zimbo ! good to see man from the trenches turn there life around its inspirational! .. what i will say though is i grew up in north london.. mash town and joe black were rapping 03 04 times he was rapping in a british accent we used to get there tunes via infared lol there was no youtube them days so it was more word of mouth and getting cds . even skinny man , mike glc klashnekof was around them times so i dont know about starting it but defo foundation ! i only heard about hard ball maybe few years after it came out but it was a anthem ! i can imagine it was crazy when it first came out . big respect to both you and this youtube channel love .

I'm from lozells, Grew up in early 2000s we had it hard but it isn't the slums LOL I done a 7 stretch but that was because of the choices I made. We are infatuated with American culture and try to draw parallels in our communities, but the truth is we have it good we just romanticise this "Ghetto" living notion.

[@rizzle5798]

I know you commented this time ago but I just gotta leave a reply to let you know how damn right you are bro

[@zakg60]

So is all these other countries copying america g? no.. its just a way of life in poor areas aka stuck in a cycle

[@pregerzoreo4886]

I understand what you are trying to say and good on for you taking full responsibility but America isn't even 400 years old

People seem to forget about Taz - Analyze this the album is 18 years old signed to Def Jam UK the album was fucking cold tbf UK accent. Production was ridiculous. The album is a classic.

Zimbo is probably the realest gangster rapper out of London. 💯 Hes literally been through Everything all these rappers cap about, mans been thru hell & back and managed to come out of it without getting birded off or killed. Which is a crazy achievement in itself. Can only respect him for changing his life around and doing what he's doing to help the future youths. Big up Zimbo all day, mandem always forget to mention his name when it comes to who really started this gangsta rap in the uk just for the simple fact that man wasnt from London
