When you listen to really talented grime, or not still artists their control or the language is amazing. Really clever uses of the language - AJ is very much part of that group.
Haven’t watched it yet but think Cole did the right thing, it was clearly way bigger than a little rap beef, it was personal, for Kendrick especially, he had the backing of most of hip hop. This was between drake and Kendrick, J.Cole didn’t need to be involved and smartly bowed out.
I think I agree with you, I reckon this was probs recorded before we saw how deep the beef got though. It looked like Cole made a really bad mistake at first
AJ's proper sound, I like his music and don't even agree with all his political views but one of a few U.K artists I've seen grow as an individual, many from London seem to still have the same mindset. He also put on west London massively in my generation.
I really like his unintentional racism and intentional racism but he talked about very good way of looking at it I’m gunna adopt this approach from now on
Growing up in central London makes you astonishingly privileged, the opportunities are incomparable to almost anywhere in England let alone the world. You don't get that sense from this interview. Would love more gratitude and less grievance in society, unfortunately the former requires humility and intelligence
London is a city of culture history and many resources. That area in London is one of extremes, but yes it's centrally located & a stones throw from so many highlights in the city.
💯 sick of these privileged cry babies who have become millionaires but still spit this rasism poison London is majority black what are they actually crying about
@@user-em4dx6sg7y all rappers are from the ghetto absolute rubbish all coming out about all these fake American gangsters all fags p Diddy and all them lot fake hard men like this chap on the interview
@@user-em4dx6sg7y Ladbroke Grove is in Zone 2 it's a stone throw from the West End & near South Kensington and Knights Bridge etc. You can try and call it a "ghetto" but we who know London are aware that all areas in London have mixed housing, mixture of residents with different income brackets.
It would have been interesting for Ollie to have linked the conversation more to the rap background - for example “ok you want to see the juiced Olympics, but how do you feel about rap being competitive with ghost writers?”.
I get thag dissing is part of the hip hop culture but nothing wrong in being real and apologising when you feel you got it wrong. That's real life rather than thinking your fellow artists in the genre are always your competition.
I agree with you , it Indicates a level of growth / maturity (saying that I like the way AJ spoke on the point - not my personal viewpoint but it had merit)
Haven't listened to AJ since secondary school, but i agreed with most things he said here besides the J cole thing. but yeah Big up to AJ, i hope he's doing well for himself
Judging by a few things said here, maybe AJ should concentrate on educating himself rather than trying to educate others. Gotta agree about the Lib Dems though - not strong enough when it mattered.
I didn’t even kno AJ Tracey had ADHD, kind of makes sense now how he always seems very chatty and how he can rap and flow soo fast😂, he’s a proper role model though, spreads good messages
Coming from the guy that completely swerved mic righteous don’t go on about cole when you came up off grime and couldn’t respond cos you know you’d of got bodied.
I’m sorry but who’s saying there’s absolutely nothing wrong with England and there is nothing to criticise? 😂 Yeah those working class nationalists love the Tory party and waiting 10 hours in A&E 🤦♂️ If we’re going to generalise let’s at least be accurate
I don’t know who this man is to say that he should not have apologize. He should have he should have. Have you seen the raft? I’d apologize too. I apologize for him for even saying that shit because Kendrick don’t know him.
@YesSir-ms3uk firstly British is a nationality made up of mixed ethnicities. hardly anyone in Britain is is full celtic and most of the full celtics are in scotland. not england. does everyone skip primary school history? cos we literally learn about all the invasions of britian in school yet you all speak like you dont know you have mixed ethnicity. this is how genetics works.
They NEVER will accept US- born here you will never be English/British- only when it suits them. On their terms. Step outta line your just another N____r. Facts. Don't try to please Yt people- they dgaf about you- 2faced liars and theives. But you #AJtracy you are WHITE ✅‼️ You momma is white so are you. From a white woman you're white , from a black womans you're black. Genetics follow the Mother's blood line ALWAYS- that's how its done ☑️ All heritage is down to the Mother NOT the Father. Mixed race people so desperate to be black. 😂
or perhaps he’s speaking from experience? your seeming lack of attention towards race may not be shared by others. who’s to say he hasn’t experienced ill-treatment on the basis of his background?
@lawrencemonet "Lawrence Monet" definitely white and middle class. I'm mixed and have, but constant obsession with skin pigmentation isn't doing anything to further race relations.
Very good in depth interview, AJ comes across intelligent and articulate.. It’s good to hear coming from a UK rapper/ artist.. 👏🏼💯

That’s because he is

he apologized before kendrick even dropped a disstrack, it was before it got personal at all cole was just scared
Great convo, great chemistry. Big up AJ: Substance, Intelligence and Authenticity!!!
Unexpected, love your interviews and love AJ from the Lane 😀
Men would feel more comfortable in not reaching the highest levels of success but still feeling successful as a man - so good.

Listening to this guy...as a 48 year old Brit...gives me a little bit of optimism. Intelligent and likeable. Have a sub.
God damn this guy is intelligent 🤯🤯

Ladbroke grove is not central London. He comes from the ghetto neighbourhood within west london. No privileges

Bro, you forgot the plantain on your Anglo/Caribbean roast!
Big up AJ Tracey, great guy man.
Couldn’t agree more on the political views more and as for the rest of the interview very raw and was a great watch wicked chemistry
gotta love AJ T

No way does AJs nan live in Buxton 😂
She is old and white? Maybe has links there.
when did this victim mentality become the norm?
Exactly
I would say around 2017
He's a middle class Londoner the whole country is run for his benefit
please explain where his victimhood is present here?
AJ got the final he wanted - coming back to this when Real Madrid lift the trophy
💯
big up AJ

I like Hindus, they actually like and think positively about the British.
38:05 well done for having that restraint to not beat people up!! 👏👏👏
15:56 did he seriously just say people like you?!
He’s a white gimp who sucks off minorities. I’d deport him and Tracey.
words are actions
Yo Aj, if you're reading this, wheres the 30-40 snaps a day? 😂
Being able to apologise is part of being a grown man.
Judging by a few things said here, maybe AJ should concentrate on educating himself rather than trying to educate others.

What exactly are your points of contention Andy?
Mr road man can’t handle micro aggression? 😂
why should racism be ok?
@@jmttc2489 why should road men be ok?

I've never heard of him. Might listen and I see J.Cole and think of the West Ham and Chelsea and England Number 10.
This guy votes Tory

They dont see you as English/British broski 😄🤷♂️
Loool you clocked
only outside of the big cities. and none of the counties outside of the big cities are that relevant
@YesSir-ms3uk firstly British is a nationality made up of mixed ethnicities. hardly anyone in Britain is is full celtic and most of the full celtics are in scotland. not england.
