It's a beautiful thing to see someone discover Akala for the first time. The eyes light up. The heart pumps quicker. And you feel you're listening to someone who articulates truths you've always known but have never been able to put into words. Thanks for the reaction lads. Was great.
Thank you for watching 🙏🍻
He was born and raised in London. He wasn't saying that he couldn't speak English, he was saying that his teachers treated him as if he were stupid and put him in groups with students who couldn't speak English.
I think secondary schools in the UK would overlap both middle and high school in the US. We go to primary school until about 11 and then go to secondary school.
high school... 11/12 years old to 16 years old
Thank you for this background!! 🙏
@@BeersBars hey guys he's a professor there is a lecture he gives on black history in Oxford its a Q and A it's on TH-cam its brilliant

Those who misbehave often end up in lower sets because they’re disruptive to those who want to learn. I imagine he wasn’t a model student 👀
Part 4 will be your favourite. Akala is probably one of the greatest minds we have in our scene, he has done many talks and written many books aside from his music. a very well educated brother. loving the channel and the reactions
Yup we are excited for pt. 4!!
1 & 4 are my favs, think I’ve listened to each about 50 times 😂
I think Akala smashed it on Question Time. He gave better political responses than the rest of the panel and (I think) he was the only one on the show that night, that isn't a politician by trade.
Ahh mate!Every Fire in the boothe by akala is insane,Part 4 is something on another Level,ive actually showed my mum n dad n girl....and they was blown away....especialy by the last part. Powerful!
Part one the best
Akala is truly an inspiration. His mentality and philosophy changed my life and thousands of others like me. I was a bad kid which transpired into me being lost as a young man, mixing in circles and involved in crime which only would have had one ending. I listened to Akala and started listening to his music which lead me to his seminars, books and texts. I learned to understand the route I wanted to take. He changed my mentality towards everything. Without going too deep… 7 years ago I was broke and part of a group involved in all kinds of illegal activities. I now run a healthy business with employees which is only growing everyday and the only person I can thank for that is Akala. Examples of just a fraction of things he thought me;
-knowledge is power. The more you know the more things you can understand and conquer. So read. Study. Take in things which don’t seem important at the time. They will only broaden the mind.
- Ownership is key. Only invest in what you can afford. If you can’t buy it outright, don’t. If you lease something and pay for it monthly it’s because you CANNOT afford it. Instead invest that money into something you can afford. This way It is yours, nobody can take it away. The money within that item you buy outright has not cost you anything. it has become an asset of YOURS. It is invested money. If you where to sell it you would regain the money in which you spent.
- Stop looking up. Too many people look at others. If your looking up at someone else you cannot see what’s directly in front of you. Every person is different. When you stop investing time looking up you have more time to look forwards. Forwards at your own journey and how you can achieve what you want to achieve.
- Money flossed is money lost. Any money spent on showing others your success is only putting your money in the hands of others.
- Net worth is not a measure of somebody’s worth. In our western consumer environment we are brainwashed into judging people’s progress in life on how much disposable income they have to spend on items they don’t need. This only benefits the elite. They need every person to spend their all of their available money. This gives you one choice…work until you die.. 99% of people spend their net worth to show complete strangers what their entire life’s work is worth.
This is just a snip of the way in which Akala changed my entire outlook on life. And if this comment helps just 1 person on their journey I would consider it to be a success.
Life lessons for sure and 7 years is a quick amount of time to figure it out - some never do.
On the ownership point: Wealth creates more wealth - debt creates more debt. Never owe anyone anything except maybe for a house.
Hey Bizz, as an anti capitalist I baulk a little at people starting businesses and profiting off the labour of others, and I say that as an ex business owner who quit in order to line up my values and my actions, but I understand that for many people it’s the only way you can create reasonable material conditions for yourself so I don’t stand in judgement.
All that said, I’d just like to say that I think you posted a really beautiful comment here, really moving stuff, and of course a great testament to the power of words, the power of listening, and the power of putting knowledge into action. Props to you and Akala for understanding these incredibly important truths.
ALAW
Akala- Find No Enemy. It’s a masterpiece from him.❤
The only way we can ever change anything, is to look in the mirro and to find no enemy ❤❤❤
Please don’t skip the bit of Charlie chatting in part 4 as it leads to the spoken word part at the end and it’s important
Thanks
Excellent Advice
the spoken word part gives me chills everytime as its visual
I can’t fucking wait for you guys to see part 4
Same for us!
So glad so many US music enthusiasts have watched Akala over the years. The man speaks straight facts.
I knew you’d enjoy this, there’s a reason Akala doesn’t get airplay because he tells uncomfortable truths, no doubles or metaphors just facts, rappers like him and lowkey are dangerous because of the message they send, that’s Charlie Sloth, fire in the booth is his platform and there’s been some classics, Wretch 32, Kano, Ghetts etc
🔥🔥🔥
Young chipmunk was good as well,
@@jokibud-sm1kr 👍
Try his book “Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire” 🤯
Great reaction lads, excited to see Akala fire in the booth part 4, it’s a masterpiece!
When he said "I can picture everything he's saying "
I'm just thinking 🤔... Wait for Part 4's ending!!!
Akala is a true prophet. One of the best and most educated artists. Locksmith is my best comparison to Akala as far as content and delivery. Akala is just on another level. An author, playwright, professor, a true Renaissance man. Please listen to Akala F64 & Find no enemy.
Added to the list!!!🍻
Part 4 is the greatest thing you'll ever hear.
Love love love watching people discover Akala.
Here we go
Akala goated , looking forward to part 4 absolute masterpiece it is, well done guys
Akala - Murder Runs The Globe
*Facts*
Lowkey fire in the booth 1&2 , two of the best.
Great reaction 🔥
Thank you 🍻
Its so refreshing to see americans take the time to get into the uk scene and truly break it down and take it in. Its so cute how excited and passionate u both get. I think u do a really good job of truly understanding the message..a lot of americans have such a patronising tone when talking about the uk rap scene but not a touch of that here..really loving ur vids its even me get excited all over again abour our music 👍🏽
Akala's different. Bars upon bars
Akala F I T B pt 4 is a game changer 💯
Can't wait!
A fresh Akala reaction, this man is a griot, a lyrical genius. My favourites are part 2 and 3 but part 4 is a masterpiece. I’d suggest watching in order to fully appreciate the progression. Also, his books and interviews are also really insightful!
Watching from Northampton UK. Sub button hit 💛
Welcome and thank you 🙏🍻
Yeh with Akala , its not just the bars...its the guy, he is a true phenomenal force
big ups northampton
Essential UK list
Akala -fire in the booth's 1-4
Mic Righteous Fire in the booth 1-3
Lowkey fire in the booth 1-2
Little Simz - Introvert
Ghetts - Fire in the booth part 3
Thanks 🙏🍻
I would add wretch 32 and avalino- fire in the booth to that list
Akala’s fire in the booth part 4 isn’t next level, it’s on its own plain. His daily duppy is also very special in that he just decides to do something very different. I’d say mic righteous warm up session before fire in the booth is the order!
I’d also recommend Lowkey he’s done some amazing stuff and is also an intellectual like Akala.
@@BeersBars akala lowkey and mic righteous
Akala has lectured at Oxford University and is regarded as a scholar in the UK
Great reaction guys. Keep on the Akala train and do parts 2,3&4 next (in order) you won't be disappointed. Akala is so talented,you just have to admire him and his craft. Love from Manchester UK 🇬🇧 x
Make sure you got notification on part 2 coming soon ✌️🍻
Need more rappers like akala!
I love watching people get excited the more they listen to Akala, the man is a genius!
Mic Righteous fire in the booth part 2, 3 and 4 is a must!
The music industry changed the colour of the chains from steel to gold. Seen this guy perform a couple of times, he's awesome live.
Super jelly
i love it when people discover akala - welcome comrades ✊ ...
11:00 - I think a difference in culture plays a part. Akala is crazy respected over here. Lectured at Oxford, work been used in PhD theses etc etc. He’s truly in his own league. Nobody compares themselves against him, just pure respect
Someone who REALLY doesn’t get airplay for telling uncomfortable truths is Lowkey. If you check out his fire in the booth, Ahmed, and Ghosts of Grenfell (read about Grenfell fire before reacting)
I saw him live in Birmingham, England a few years' ago. Awesome.
He's British and English is his first language. He is put in groups with those that cant speak English because of the racism he encountered from his teachers and school. Number 4 is going to blow your minds!
He brings the reality check and home truths, great video lads glad you enjoyed
Akala- Roll wid us 💪 UK classic boys trust
That was such a fun reaction ! I have seen a lot of people react to Akala and yours was top tier
Thank you means a lot🙏🍻
This is still my fav freestyle/radio verse ever spit probably. Up there with Hov's Grammy Family freestyle
Akala 🔥 We have so much dope artists all different styles. Great reaction
Akala has written a number of books, all great, he's also a visiting professor in Oxford University
This rhyme changed my life.
You guys going to go crazy at part 4 I promise you
Can’t wait!!! We already went crazy with part 1!! We don’t know how we’ll contain ourselves once we reach part 4
Brilliant reaction love when new people discover and appreciate Akala.
Knowledge is power
Facts 🍻 thanks for checking out he video!
Akala a wizard with this words
Can't wait till you guys experience his FITB4!
His book 'natives' is worth a read, too.
Just found your channel and subbed, great reaction! Part 4 is by far the best but you should definitely do them in order so you can see the progression over 10 Years, hope to see you drop them soon!
Great reaction. Part 4 will make you lose your mind. And you HAVE to do Wretch 32...
Yup high on the list to check out!! ✌
Akala is out on his own. He’s so clever and interesting. He’s an educator in the UK but doesn’t pretend to know what he doesn’t know. He is one of my biggest inspirations as a middle class white guy from England. His book taught me so much 🙌🏼
Check out our other reactions from his FITB, Akala is truly amazing
Part 4 makes me cry its so beautiful
Loving your reactions especially the uk ones I hope you’re still doing them 🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Facts... wicked reaction
just about to hit play, hope you've got your ears on boys!
Enjoyed that, Akala is a beast of an MC who sees the world and the people who supposedly 'run' it for what they are and says it. Hence nothing 'mainstream', ever.
One of his early tracks was called Bullshit , worth a listen to see the mans progress and how he still speaks his truth
Quality track
On the list!!
Love akala and he’s also ms dynamites brother 👑 loved how he came through for grenfell and didn’t shy away from saying what needed to be said!
I really look forward to seeing you to react ❤️❤️❤️akala is just 😩🙏
Good reaction, I subbed just to see part 4 and the extra bit, yall gonna love that one
Can't wait
Best lyricist in the game without a doubt
Akala is more than a rapper he's an author and lectures in institutions of higher learning.. checkout some of his lectures on TH-cam 👊🏿
2:46 'Teachers still treated me stupid, students who couldn't speak English they put me in groups with....'
Brilliant pt 2, 3, 4 to go 😂✌❤🇬🇧
I loved this reaction part 4 is the best can't wait much love from the UK 🇬🇧🔥🔥🔥
Great reaction 👑 got me excited for what's next! My favourites are Kano - FITB and the remaining 3 Akalas...
Stay on your UK journey.... its LIT 🔥
From a UK chick who's proud of the levels our rappers hit... smoky as f*uk 💯
Let's go....... x
Thanks and we are loving what you all have been showing us from across the pond! 🍻✌️
@@BeersBars Kano is the 🐐🔥
@@jaybentley1377 ... Gotta agree! He's a madness 👑
Best reaction I’ve seen and I’ve seen a few!!
Thank you we greatly appreciate that! 🍻🙏
Akala has inspired a whole generation of younguns (and some olders) who are worth a look at and who have their own perspectives and positions on class, race, immigration, faith Wretch 32, Mic Righteous, Lowkey, Krept & Konan...
Great reaction lads,and you're not wrong, he is just next level, doin the whole thing double time to!🔥🔥🔥👏👏I'm late AF to this, trying to do your UK ish in order but I'm all over the shot, went from Ghetts, to the cypher, to here trying to get it in the right order🤦♂️😂jus gonna finish this Akala playlist,go back to the cypher and then finish the Ghetts playlist off,so expect a sh!tload of notifications from all over the place....👀🤷♂️😂💜
Akala part 4 and the wretch 32/avelino fire in the booths are classics you’ll love em. Great video guys. 👍🏻
You have to do all 4 parts ! Each is its own unique display of what Akala is all about
Genuinely can’t wait to see you guys listen to no4
Welcome to the genius of Akala! Great reaction 💜 -x-
Love watching Akala blow peoples minds
Regards the diamonds line, i believe his sister is ms dynamite who had uk chart success, i think in the 90s or 00s with the song, it takes more, which also has a blood diamond reference, specifically, "if its no too complex, tell me how many africans died, for the baguette on your rolex?"
Lord be Akala!
It's Dr. Akala now, he got his PHD some years ago - GO WATCH AND REACT TO HIS OXFORD UNION SEMINAR. I am HAPPY that young boys are growing up listening to this.
Part 4 of his fire in the booth is awesome too.
Please do all in order part 4 will blow your mind 🤯. He is the UK GOAT #uncleakala
#flowfather
God I can’t wait until you see part 4
Ere from part 4 - Akala is a real genius an I think that really isn't enough for this amazing inspirational man - knowledge an wisdom is the only thing that separates us all-- 🤝
Well said 🙏🍻
@@BeersBars respect beers an bars as bars n beers is popular in uk especially wen world Cup football on! - only found you 2nte an u2 got a kool vibe - I was checking upchurchs reactions n got ya an glad I did - AKALA -totally different level- I remember watching FITB at the time an wondered how is he not cracked usa yet ? Still wonder as his many talents an writing is epic- 🎤....respect for reply B&B🍻
@@jameshickey1294 yeah I'm surprised he is not bigger in the US as well. My guess would be he was asked to come and sign with a label and he would not do that. 🍻✌️
Great reaction. That beer looks really good too
🍻
If you like this part 4 will blow your mind!
So glad you have found Akala, man is on his own planet, all get better and when you get to number 4 strap in its just ridiculous, and dont skip through charlie speaking as Akala explains whats goin down, great reaction guys
Teachers still treated me stupid, students that couldn’t speak English, they put me in groups with. They assumed he was stupid, they were very wrong
Yes check them all out in order 🙌 👍
Discovered your channel seeing a Chase and Status video and wanted to see if you had seen this. Akala is insane, he is so financially smart among other things outside the lyrics and rap talent. I'm glad you agree he needs more coverage, there is a reason he isn't more popular though because those in charge dont want smart thinkers...
Akala is educating us!
Facts
The godfather of UK grime/rap, Akala is a national treasure and honestly one of the most knowledgeable people you will ever hear.
Little better on the internet than watching people hear Akala for the first time
You should watch his debates and talks - he’s the real deal. Write books also. Akala is a true spitter - glad you enjoyed
he gets zero promotion over here .... so over there u have to be a real reactor to unearth these dons .... i love u fellas ... keep doing your thing!!!!
Makes me proud to share the same soil as this genius……A BRITISH LION ✊🏾🇬🇧✊🏾
Wait till you get to Part 4, jeeeesh
his DailyDuppy is banging as well
even with out subtitles you guys are catching bars, big up to you both, akala is a beast and as its been suggested before its worth reacting to all his FITB and for perspective defo check out his interviews on knife crime ans some of his lectures, he is a different breed . one love
This is a great reaction vid. I'm liking Akala philosophy
Check out our Akala playlist ✌️🍻
Great reaction brother's
Thank you 🍻🙏
Other great Akala tracks - 'Find No Enemy', 'Yours and My Children', 'Carried Away', 'Bullshit', 'Murder runs the Globe'.
Great video
Wait to you get to pt4 masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥
Akala writes books & is a respected lecturer at Oxford University. Interesting that we learn more about American history than Americans. Americans don't really want to learn history whilst listening to rap they're conditioned to just wanting to hear about bling & waps. Education is power, big bling isn't, as the British writer & politician Edward Buller-Lytton famously said 'The pen is mightier than the sword"!
In Part 4 - after Charlie Sloth speaks Akala raps an excerpt of his writings about the violent history of mans struggles through the centuries - it is a very moving piece, a masterpiece in history telling & rap, a one off that you'll never hear anywhere else.
As he says, in Britain it's more a class issue. Today schools here are hugely multi-racial & everyone mixes together, in London there is very little divide in that respect, school uniforms help to keep all equal & religious aspects are taken into respect within the uniforms.
Factually speaking regarding UK prisons, there are 117 prisons in England and Wales. His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) runs most of these (104) paid for by the tax payer while three private companies operate only 13 so it's not exactly like America to be fair. Our prison sentences are lighter & of course we no longer have the death penalty!
Secondary school is equivalent to middle school + high school.
Great video, always fun watching reacters try to keep up with Akala and how he blows your mind every few seconds. Especially the line “it’s all about getting poor people to fight with one another”, literally every reaction streamer has to pause on that one 😂
“We don’t control the wholesale production so who benefits from us moving the food?”
- Karl Marx, oops I mean Akala
Akala is truly gifted we can't wait to see more! 🍻✌️
You need to check Harry Shotta FitB pt1 and pt2 (pure drum n bass). Also worth checking the extended DnB FitB he does with Skibadee, Azza etc. Kills it
That’s our boy Akala - you guys need to read his books! ❤❤❤
This guys fire in the booth has been studied in universities in the uk 💯 🧠 📚
