All you really need to know is that the People's Army consists of Akala, Lowkey, Logic, Black the Ripper, Mic Righteous, English Frank, you could say they were the uk version of the wu tang clan
Lowkey has done two FITB, English Frank one, Mic Righteous four, and Logic two. They're all worth checking out.
I reckon you guys would love ghetts
@@stuartbrierley103 or chip
Jordan fitb please 🇬🇧
I teach in the South Bronx, and I use his hook from the previous FITB as a basis for a whole unit. He said, "absolute power corrupts absolutely, buy absolute powerless does the same". I use this daily to discuss social justice and structural violence with my 7th grade students.
Amazing we need more teachers in the world like you 🙏🍻
Lowkey. Fire in booth

2 masterpieces n timeless art
I highly recommend his book natives I think your find it extremely interesting and informative.
@@bryden72 I've owned it for four years, and it was in my classroom library the moment I finished it.
@@musicguy1987 awesome 👊 for me as a 72 baby and being white and from london I got to hear a side of my childhood and teens didn't actually see or experience 1st hand you read and generally heard one side and one version one narrative.
And now I'm 50 I'm grateful for having my eyes opened and information is power after,.wish you noting but ML&R and keep what up your doing🙏👊
He’s amazing. I used to party in London in the 90s (showing my age) at the Coliseum he mentioned and the Jungle raves and whatnot. I know his dad, from back in the day at the reggae dances I used to go to. What an amazing, knowledgeable young man. You should watch some of his interviews. I wish we had politicians like him we’d all be better off. Great reaction ❤🇬🇧
@maureenmccormick4527. Partying in the UK in the 90's was something else wasn't it.
Great times.
Dennis Brown was a Jamaican reggae singer. During his prolific career, which began in the late 1960s when he was aged eleven, he recorded more than 75 albums
❤ love Dennis Brown. Saw him at Glastonbury (England) 1982, i was 20, my 1st Of many Glastonbury festivals. Had never heard of him, but was just getting into reggae, playing drums in reggae/ska band. Only years later did I appreciate how lucky I was to see him, being as I'm in England and there weren't too many chances. Black uhuru also played that year - a mini k8nda sunsplash Saturday afternoon on main stage - Dennis, Black uhuru, Aswad. Sorry, if this waffle is boring..but, can't reccomend too highly all check out any Dennis Album.
John Holt also was mentioned by Akala here. Got to see him in Brighton about 20yrs ago. He is also well worth a listen, gorgeous voice.
@@drum253 damn, thats so dope! I'm jealous because i was born in 96, my first glasto was 2013 😅
Some of the things you guys have said throughout this have been absolutely bang on the money..
Were lucky to have this boy, and every guy like me 50 years old and English and white should study what he says..
I've been listening to rap and hip-hop since day one when we were all kids listening to bambata and cold crush brothers, captain rock or man parish, and every so often a genuine genius comes along.
He is one...
KRS one was a great from my day..
Akala goes on news night and other talk shows here in the UK and absolutely takes no prisoners.
Like ex EDL that's the English defence league, their leader Tommy Robinson, gets absolutely flattened by akala, I'm sure he still to this day does not know what happened.
The guy is a racist prick,who tried to say this and that..
But he never stood a chance with akala and it was a thing if beauty to see him put in his place..
Really appreciate your reaction guys..
Oh and my boy there got it right about 'barney' 😂
Barney rubble / trouble cockney rhyming slang..decent effort that matey..
Oh and the slang of a London yute/youth was another British term lads..
And ends....is a term for neighborhood..
Peace..😎🤟
Thanks 🙏🍻
the reason why he said "Like old school jungle selection, come through humble a veteran" is because jungle is a genre of music from the UK that was massive in the 90's & early 2000's and grime took a lot from that genre. If you need a jungle song to listen to to get a feel of the genre, listen to "General Levy - Incredible". It's one of the most iconic songs of jungle.
Name check Skibadee - Deal with the matter in that section. Yes General Levy - Incredible on MistaJam is deffo worth checking out
I see u teabag 😆 can’t see my face BALAKLAVA!
Incredible was pop jungle and the track that heralded the end of the prime jungle era. Check out Conquering Lion code red and renegade snares (foul play remix) for seminal jungle tracks.
Don’t forget original nutta
@@PeterLarter81 shadooooooow demon.. scream like a cat… Meeeeeeoooooooow.. oh she like that 😂😂😂😂
Akala is at the top of all the next level rappers, very, very alone on his throne spitting knowledge and facts. But it’s in the family, cause his sis is Ms Dynamite..
💯
Akala is a genius. That word get's thrown around all the time I know, but guess what? He is a genius. Honestly a poet and it's a crime he is not more popular, but at the same time I am glad because the mainstream would be something he would find appalling.
“Knowledge of Timbuktu, mixed with the slang of a London Youth” 🔥
Yute
"Yute" - slang for youth..
If you want to see how Akala writes he done a BBC doc about Homers Odyssey
th-cam.com/video/8zIo9g_wR2s/w-d-xo.html
As he said in the show its more so memorized, cause that's how Biggy did it
Thanks
Barney: Barney Rubble is British cockney rhyming slang for Trouble.
Love yous guys reactions.
Good luck. From London, England 🇬🇧✊✊
Akala is a national treasure ❤
Dennis Brown is probably the greatest reggae artist of all time. Sorry Bob.
Probably doesn't equal definitely. No need for apology. All good in their own right. It's a movement, not one man alone.
Oh and Akala setup and runs the hip hop Shakespeare company, that's what he was talking about when he said about teaching kids👏👏
On that note I think you'd REALLY enjoy his Ted talk- "Hip-Hop and Shakespeare". I doubt you'll be able to do a reaction to a 20 minute talk,But I think you'd both enjoy watching that with a beer🤷♂️👏👏🔥
Same with his "Full Address and Q&A" at the Oxford Union. Now that over an hour long,but that is a MUST watch,the knowledge he brings,the stuff you discover you weren't taught at school......👀🔥🔥🔥😱😱😱👊🏻✊👏👏👏👏💜
His lecture at Oxford is worth watching too
As slaves, we were the first STOCK, hence Stock Market. We were each given a value to our "owners".
Life, (if you could call it that), aboard the slave ships was truly barbaric. 400+ souls laid end to end and cheek to Jowell, shackled below deck for up to 23hrs a day; more if the weather was bad. No toilets or bathrooms, you shit and pissed where you lay! The journey could take anything from 2 -6 months, depending on the prevailing winds, (no motors or engines on these vessels, remember. Diseased slaves were disposed of by throwing them overboard. The same was done to those slaves that were claimed to be disobedient or unruly, by the crew and claimed as Underwritten Stock when they docked! Such was the stench of human waste and rotting flesh, it was said that these ships could be smelled up to 5 miles away coming into port and every slave that somehow manager to live would be lying around a foot deep in their own excrement! The Xong, Akala mentioned during his spoken piece, was one of those ships.
History 101, Gentlemen🙏
The missing words at 45:07 are "greasy yellow japs". This from the pilot of the Enola Gay. Nice one guys - no. 4 is a monster
Was amazing ✌️🍻
Endz = the Hood, he saying the Hood isn't worth dying for and the only thing that is worth dying for is love.
Ends is the same point as "you think I care about a postcode" line. Kids killing each other because of where they live
Been waiting for this. For my money this is the best rapping I've ever heard, he's just so comfortable while murdering like 6 beats. It's crazy good. Great reaction as always. His daily duppy is worth a look.
A "barney" is a fight/arguement
Did you also notice he never stopped? Then hit us with a written story poem, akala is nuts
Check out Lowkey fire in the booth part 1 and 2. Lowkey is akalas close friend and they are similar in terms of lyricism. his first fire in the booth shows off his lyricism and the 2nd one is more deep.
Cool
Yes
Guys, don't use the translate function on here. It's really bad. The translation bot doesn't know British slang and mistranslates loads of other stuff too. There are plenty of sources for fire in the booth lyrics.
👍
great reaction guys, really glad youve made it through the Akala FITB journey...its epic for sure, looking forward to the wretch 32 reactions, his doubles are crazy. i would suggest the wretch and avelino FITB if you havent seen it yet, and the wretch 32 FITB 5 goes in as well, also worth checking out wretch his and hers perpectives if i havent already suggested it, its a studio track but really does look at different perpectives its a well thought out song. also the wretch 32 daily duppys are a must as well! haha im sure ive suggested these before but all are worth a watch. one love
You guys have got to react to Mic Righteous - Fire in the booth part 3. It's also legendary and widely regarded as one of the best FITB. Akala and Mic are also good friends
31:28 "Yes there are things worth killing and dying for, ENDS aint one of them tho, what you lying for?"
Your Ends = your Hood
The thrown overboard from the deck of the Zong line refers to a real incident. The Zong was registered in Liverpool, the crew threw the human cargo overboard and the owners tried to claim for losses from Lloyd's of London. That obviously caused an uproar and was one of the reasons, that Britain closed down the trans Atlantic slave trade. Props for the reaction lads, big up to you.
Need to do "thieves banquet" by akala. Akala is underrated and unreal!!
Whenever I need cheering up I put this on just to watch you boys buzz of Akala. He is on a different level and to watch your appreciation of his skills is heartwarming.
I do the same thing, but add in "is mad" from JME. Our reaction to that makes me smile every time ✌️🍻
Denis brown is a Jamaican reggae artist from back in the day and that section is my favourite!
And singing like John Holt (who I saw at his last gig before he sadly passed away)
You need to check out some more Fire in the booths
Lowkey-part 2 ( this man will blow you away)
Wretch 32- part 5
Kano-
K Koke-
Jordan-
You guys fail to disappoint, I love your reactions. Hoping you’ll be checking out some Wretch 32 and Lowkey soon! ❤
Wretch 32 FITB on deck 👍🍻
Low-key fire in booth part 2 is a must ….
Endz ain't worth dying for
Thats the post code gang wars. We call it *"The Endz"*
Wretch FitB part 5 is one of the best, also Kano's FitB is exceptional
Wretch 32 - Fire In The Booth Part 5. 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing reaction guys , love seeing people who appreciate Akala for what he is , the goat 🐐
Been waiting on this.... it was everything I thought it would be. You need to drop Wretch 32 and Avelino - Fire in the booth and Wretch 32 - FITB 5.... Let's run this ting! 🔥💯🔥
LOWKEY - FIRE IN THE BOOTH🔥🔥🔥
It's gunna blow your mind!!!
Its akalas boy,......and it gets better than this guys💯
Any wretch 32 you want be disappointed bro and swiss daily duppy
A barny is another term for a fight in the UK. And you were right when you heard London youth except he send London yout which is just a slang term for youth
Slang of a London youth
Knowledge of Timbuktu mixed with the slang of a london yout (youth)
Bingo
Barney is slang for a fight
Akala doesn’t need Daves Piano, tell me your not imagining ever single word he speaks. Great reaction guys.🙏🏻🇬🇧
This one has the message like the others but the crafting and performance in this, it has the bars, punchlines, word play and attitude but also deep wisdom, and he just has swag in this one, This performance is like a perfect storm
Has it all 🍻
I'm sorry lads I don't know why I haven't thought of it before, or why no one else has suggested it,but you should Definitely check some of his early stuff!
Debut single spitting over a fairly big techno/dance track-
"Shakespeare"👀👊🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏
His anthem used in the classic UK teen film Kidulthood-
"Roll Wid' Us"👊🏻👊🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥
And the masterpiece-
"Carried Away"😪🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏
All from his 2006 debut album "It's Not A Rumour"🔥🔥🔥💜💜
"Wretch 32 & Avelino FITB" is the fitb Akala is talking about.
👍🍻
And that last beat before the final part was "Dat Boy Akala", one of his early tunes('06),which I remember coming/being out,but only just discovered was from a mixtape he done with his big sis....👀😱🤦♂️😂🔥🔥💜
The Ends is UK slang for your block (usually the outskirts)
WHEN MAN SAID: "I Write History - And Quite Literally" - AND HE LITERALLY RELEASED A DAMN BOOK ABOUT COLONIAL HISTORY AFTER GETTING HIS DOCTORATE... ☠☠☠☠☠ BODIED
You should switch the automated subtitles off, they're hindering your experience as you can't help but read them and they're often completely wrong. Fire reaction anyway guys, keep em coming!
Yeah we are done with them and thank you 🙏🍻
Fantastic reaction, you're the first American reactors that caught all the important bars and seemed to understand and appreciate what Akala does and trust me I've seen every reaction by a big channel and honestly yours was the best, keep up the good work. Also keep going with the UK scene, them man are keeping true hip-hop alive right now
Really appreciate the comment and you checking out our channel, we will definitely be checking out more UK artists we are hooked! 🙏✌️🍻
"Those who talk sense get a line in chalk, those who talk shit get a line of support." One of my favourite bars of Akala. I was gunna complain about all the ads, then I realised that 50 minutes flew by, you had my attention so much I got annoyed everytime an ad came up, watched it all. You said about La Leakers, you should check out Dave's one that he did on there. Great video, definitely check out Wretch 32 as well 👍
He rapped through 6 7 beats lol never disappoints.
#AWAKE
He says 'mixed with the slang of a London yout' meaning youth but said like the t in toot. Just a slang term from that area. Otherwise known as a colloqualism in language studies. The UK is full of hundreds of different accents and dialects.
One of the best FITB by far holyyyyy Akala is real
When he said " end rnt worth dying for" he means
Your area you live, post code wars (turf wars)
Dennis Brown was a prolific Jamaican singer from back in the day. Then the bar after that; “I’m like Shabba & Brockie & Dett, bunning down Stratford Rex.” Shabba & Dett are iconic jungle MCs, Brockie is a Jungle DJ. Stratford Rex was a venue home to huge Jungle raves in the 90s. Would love to see some American’s react to some old rave videos 😂
_"Bunnin down oldskool Stratford Rex..."_
Weren't we all.. Good times 😪🙏🏻🍻
There's alot you miss and alot you misinterpret just because of the slang difference but still respect the reaction
31.58 ends means like areas that are gang related if that makes sense or maybe the term "hoods" like people are willing to die for the ends aka being in a gang in a certain area, "ends aint one of them why u lying for"
Guys please you have to check out mic righteous 🙏 you will not regret it most passion out of anybody on fitb
Mic righteous has to be next fella's... Great reaction by the way
Thanks and it's on the list
"Endz" means your hood. So endz aint worth dying for. A lot of our youth are killing each other over different "endz" or post codes.
When he says ends that in the USA would be what you would call ur block or your area
The term Artist is given out freely but Akala is a true Artist
Also a “Barney” is a uk work for beef or an argument/fight yeah haha
A K A L A there is no synonym.
You should definatly listen to mic rightous you wont be dissapointed ❤️🔥
Great reaction guys. Love it when people discover Akala.
There is a video of the actual spoken word opera he did called the ruins of empire
Dennis Emmanuel Brown was a Jamaican reggae singer. His prolific career began in the late 1960s
"Yes there are things worth killing and dying for
Ends ain’t one of them tho, why you lying for?" - its very powerfull bar, Ends in english slang like Hood, Trenches, basically different gang zones - "the part of a city or town where a person is from". Every gang member think its worth dying for his end. I'm from different side of the world, but even here its so on point
That first half with the beat switches 🤯 some legendary Grime beats also.
You probably won't get to this, or it's a bit late anyway. Little slang lesson:
-Ends - Used as a UK equivalent to "Ghetto" or "Projects".
-Barney - Used in the bar as "argument" but yeah Cockney Rhyming Slang was correct... Barney Rubble = Trouble
-"Mixed with the slang of the London Yoot" - Uses the slang of the inner city London youth. IIRC His Dad is Jamaican, and part of the English-Patois slang/Ebonics crops the "th" sound from some words. Youth becomes Yoot.
We see you, thanks for the slang lesson ✌️🍻
How early he caught the beat mad me smile, lol I'm also that kinda weirdo
I had the pleasure of watching akala being interviewed about his first novel. My god, when the cameras werent rolling he had us all in stitches (he was being interviewed by a comedian too)
Who was the comedian?
wretch 32 FITB 3 & 5 are mind blowing
That fire in the booth is one of the few times I can ever remember my skin tingling.. and I've watched it so many times and I still feel it.. reaches your soul
Loved that guys! Great reaction. Check out some Kano and another old skool UK tune that’s good is Movements by Roots Manuva. Keep up the fine work chaps!
Endz in the UK means the hood
Ah thanks 👍🍻
“Those that talk sense get outlined in chalk, those that talk shit get a line of support, right round the block for the minds that they bought”
FACTS.
Probably one of my favourite bars because it's applicable to life
Oi i Love how you said that he needed studying,RIGHT before he stated that he had been....😱😂😂👏👏💜
His whole family are super talented
FINALLY!
I've been waiting for this one since you did part 1. Been a frustrating wait - but more than worth it. Best reaction to the best fitb recorded to date (I'm still holding onto hope Akala goes back for part 5 at some point)! 🙌
Thanks for sticking with us!!!
This is amazing, really next level stuff that put Akala far away from any other competition from anywhere I've heard but he's an enlightened thinker who clearly has an astonishingly high IQ. I also love his daily duppy because they get a few minutes to showcase their talent and he decided to do something different and for me the result was amazing. I do love daily duppy to see how different artists approach the set. Listening to Akala's, Bugzy's latest motivational one, Jordan's (2nd part talking about his struggles) and the brilliant Ghetts ft. Giggs - Crud. These folk are astonishingly good for different reasons.
Well said and thank you for the recommendations 🍻
Love the way we've progressed from burying the mic to padlocking the studio 😅
Akala is the UK G.O.A.T. 🐐🔥🔥🔥
Ends means where they live within cities
Yes lads, isn't that just incredible. The man's an another level.
Never expected dude on the right to know cockney rhyming slang. Few others is apple's and pear's=stairs, dog and bone=phone. Barney means fighting all over this country though so I don't know. Cockneys are only from London. I'm from the north and I say it.
Can’t wait for the Mic righteous FITBs ;) he’s from same area as me. Peoples army forever ✊🏻 Akalas sister also raps if no one mentioned before called Ms. Dynamite done couple tracks with so solid crew aswell as solo releases.
Next one: BigNarstie FITB part 2
th-cam.com/video/2-vgEj9Umjg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mOGj622-K6GppGpL
He's basically the UKs Rick Ross.
After Wretch, Avelino, Lowkey and Akala being serious, BigNarstie is just a fun comedic ride
Dunno if that was something Court(sorry if I've spelt/heard your name wrong bruv🤔🤦♂️😂)done consciously, but props for reacting when he said "Palestine to West Papua" 👌🏼👏✊💜🇵🇸
#StopTheGenocide
#EndTheApartheid
#FREEPALESTINE
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸💜💜
Finally got through it, great reaction you 2!!you're not wrong, that final piece was just Amazing, another level!😱😪👊🏻🔥🔥👏👏👏
But that's why,no disrespect to Dave,he's spitting at Akala levels, not vice versa.....👀🤔🤷♂️💜
Now yall gotta check out Lowkey or Kano. Yall doing an amazing job btw. Even though Ive heard this FITb countless of times, I also like to see a new perspective.
Don't know if you guys have already done it but KANO fire in the booth is quality too 👌✌️👍
yup we did it!
I forgot to say,when he said before about "kicking balls for West Ham with my big head",and here where he says "I kicked balls for the Hammers" he's referring to the East London football club West Ham United, who played for on their under 16s squad....👀🔥👏💜(not trying to be patronising, jus no idea if you lads are into/have Any knowledge of football/soccer😖😂 at all,it wouldn't be uncommon for anyone your side of the pond...🤔🤷♂️😂💜)
Not worth dying for Ends.
Ends = where you come from.
He’s taking about local gangs postcode wars.
If u know how to play chess and ur from endz(Ghetto). U have been in prison.. this gezza has turned his life around.. and is helping others by the sounds of it.. like a guide line.... hes been there done that.. music probably saved him.. hes good. (Edited)... Fam😂
Charlie needs to stop the explosions... i got PTSD.. before i joined the Army..from Endz.
( i typed this as i watched ) hes a ex squadie..( Forces ) Love
Best FITBs in no particular order are.
K.Kokes first one
All of Akalas FITBs
All of Wretch 32s FITBs
All of Mic Righteous FITBs
They are the ones that stand alone in their own bracket. Then you have others like Bugsy Malone ect.
I'm glad you didn't listen to the EEJITS who told you to jump straight to part 4!like you said its about progression 👌🏼🤷♂️🔥💜
