      @@jamessherlock6912 because they are American and Kano is from the UK, who specialised in a music genre, that wasn't the slightest bit appealing to these hosts on the panel. These guys probably liken all these "Lil" titled artists from the US to grime/garage... Mainly due to their lack of knowledge and background research on Kano.

      But theres a part i forgot and its the most important part..the early grime artists are responsible for their own success. For the 1st time in black uk music grime was sucessful without the major mainstream music industry. Truly independent. Then the industry made a move to absorb the genre by throwing out mercury awards. So its an excellent e.g of successful entrepreneurialism..and they were black.

      American here and I know he deserve a better interview. Been listening to grime for time now. They needed to do their research. They should’ve brought up how much more censored the mainstream media is in UK. So they had to take it to pirate radios to play it to the Londoners. Wiley had the studio to help the mandem record, he also started making the eskibeats which was what helped break away from the garage scene… so much is missing from this interview to help Americans truly understand Grime/UK culture period.

    I am a Londoner and lived in the US for two years, live in Toronto now. Kano is right it’s better for UK artists not to worry about if Americans will be receptive to their music . I do not think they can. Our slang is different . The bars won’t hit their eardrums they way we want it too and technically they’re in a bubble so no matter what I don’t think it’ll reach. Toronto slang is similar to London that’s why Drake etc flow to Section Boyz , Stormzy and the likes .

      How about you tell them how the UK government took out a 40% loan of their GDP to pay off the slave masters so millions of africans could be freed in 1809? We only just recently paid that off BTW. Or how about how we dedicated large resources to stopping the slave trade thereafter? We blockaded the whole west coast of africa for this, as well as the carribean.
      So yeah, go cry somewhere else. There's still slavery going on in africa today. And guess what? There's not a white person in sight. Go solve that then come bitch about slavery.

    Kano is a legend. I like hot 97 but they only put in real research and energy when it comes to artists they know and passionately follow. Kano deserves a lengthy in depth interview for all he has achieved and contributed to the music scene in the UK. This interview should have been directed towards him in my opinion rather than the usual formal introduction to Americans 🙄 even when Ebro asked him about lyrics and slang, I thought he was going to acknowledge Kano as one of the best lyricists to ever live but no, he treated it as a language barrier smh. Akala’s interview with Kano is WAY better.

He may not be the most popular artist from the UK, but hands down he's the most real. No questions he's the definition of grime and UK culture, period.

Even though America where it all started and was highly influential, especially through the gold era of hip hop the 90s and the noughties. UK hip hop was definelty on evolution of its own sound culturally, which is modern day Grime, I check more uk artists than American hip hop these days cause uk scene is now what American hip hop was 20 years ago it a whole new industry reaching new heights.
