This series is 🔥 for many reasons: 1. Shows multiple types of black folks (not a monolith) 2. Excellent character development 3. Great plot 4. Great action 5. Sci-Fi is plausible 6. It's a series about black folks as superheroes (not relegated to the backup roles that no one cares about). I truly enjoyed this series!!! It's one of the best shows I've seen in some time
Came here to say this as well. Jamaican influence is big that’s why you see Toronto and London have 2 of the biggest carnival’s in the world. Remember both Canada and jamaica were colonized by the British, so today it is easier to migrate between the 3. Most black people in both places originate from the Caribbean.
The reasons why the London and Canada as well as New York has that relatable connection is because of the African and Caribbean cultures. Many migrated there. Thats one of the main reason why.
It's is because of Jamaican immigrants. Jamaican windrush generation has a lot of influence on UK Youth culture and there are a lot of Jamaican immigrants in Canada as well.
@DionneEguono not just jamaica...yall kill me. I'm from grenada and many of the caribbean islands have family in the UK. Stop trying to make it about one island. It's not!!!
This show is so good, highlights life from different Black perspectives, life of Sickle Cell patients and their families, and then fictionalizes it with emerging black superheroes.
@@AdamMichael-jy6byas a person with diabetes and sickle cell, this is such a closed minded statement Sickle Cell is very important, not enough research or awareness, and unless you have sickle cell YOU HAVE NO IDEA
He is absolutely right. Topboy is what made me watch Supacell. It opened that world up for me. I also love to see how others thrive and live in places outside of the U.S. Supacell was very good.
As a Black Brit, I love this show! I plan to do my Ph.D soon and I'll be including Supa Cell in it as a reference point for the worldmaking power of the Black arts. God bless!!
I have Sickle Cell and love the fact this show brings attention to the disease. Honestly, I started watching the show just out of curiosity and when I realized it was connected to Sickle Cell, I instantly loved it so much more. It become more personal to me.
Canadians have the same slang as us in the UK because Caribbeans/Jamaicans mainly migrate to UK and Canada, and the slang from both places is derived from the Caribbean/Jamaican dialect.
@@NoMoreLies365false. Carribeans and africans have been in Toronto since the late 80s and the slang has been prominent in certain parts of the city since the mid 90s at least. Toronto and urban Canadian culture only came into the spotlight when Drake got big so you really wouldn’t know about how we sounded pre 2010s. We have own hiphop scene so I can guarantee you that most of us have never heard a single grume song
Right and wrong, America has just as much if not more Caribbean immigrants, especially in places like Florida/NYC but for some reason the slang didn’t catch on in the same way over there
To anyone that hasn’t watched it yet. This is one of those shows where you say “let me just watch one episode to start it off” and end up watching the whole thing because it’s just that good! This was executed very well. Big ups to everyone involved & hope to hear about future seasons soon.
If you're West-Indian then you should already be comfortable with black UK lingo because it's very West-Indian and African. I love how black UK shows are very West-Indian influenced in comparison to American black TV shows where I never see myself or my family. Big up Supacell.🙌🏽
That;s because Black Americans have their own culture developed in their country, In the UK we are just 2-4 generations away the first Caribbean and African immigrants so our slang has a lot of influence from those countries, specifically jamaica though because back in the 60s-90s Reggae/Ragga music was the most popular black music we had in the UK. Now it is Afrobeats but the Jamaican influence is still very much there.
@@DionneEguonoin the UK we have black Britons in numbers as early as the Tudors in the 15th century. Most are linked to Liverpool and Bristol - but some communities (heavily intermixed) still exist. The last wave was in 80 90s from West Africa - and there was a wave before that post-WWI than the Windrush in the 50s-70s for West Indians. Trust me black British people have a culture it's constantly a bridge between the Americas and Africa. Literally the centre of the black diaspora. edit: But I agree. Just adding on
@@DionneEguonoexactly. I think people forget that the Caribbean and black America have similar timeline history. I watched an interview with a black girl in the UK dissing Americans because the Americans wouldn’t say if they are from Caribbean or Africa, they kept saying they’re Americans. she clearly wasn’t educated. She was looking at it from a UK perspective where black migration only started after WW2, with the Caribbeans first and then Africans in the later 80s, early 90s. She’s think the US is the same.
Funny you mention Heroes because I just came across a video where Ghetts (the rapper who plays Krazy) mention characters from that show as his favorite superhero/villain
I called myself just checking out the first episode, and then maybe watch the rest later, but *Supacell* is sooo good that I ended up watching the whole series in one day! 🔥🔥🔥
The main ties between black people/culture in London and New York (& also Toronto) is that they had or have big Caribbean communities and they made huge marks on black culture within this spaces and in the country.
Last 30 years the Africans have made just as big impact, we are all integrated make sure you pay attention to this- Damson Idris, Idris Elbar, Stormzy, Michael Dappah, Rapman, Dave
As a person living w/ Sickle Cell Disease, I’m so thankful for RapMan helping to raise awareness for Sickle Cell Disease. Charlamange says how can we bring more awareness to this I know I have sent my book “I Have It, It Doesn’t Have Me.” TWICE to The Breakfast Club & both Envy & Charlamange. I just pray that they find it, and we can have a conversation on air. 🙏🏾
Rapman London is proud of you. UK is proud of you. 👏🏿👏🏿🔥🔥 The gun crime and knife crime pandemic in London and the major England cities has been an issue for years and because of this alot of our most popular tv series we’ve produced in our community have been focused on that but it was soo refreshing to see a series to touch on the topic (as it can’t be avoided) but expand on other aspects of life as a black person in the Uk. We Salute you Rapman.
Sickle cell disease primarily affects people of African descent, but it can also be found in people from the Middle East, India, Latin America, and Mediterranean countries. The reason it is more common in these populations has to do with a genetic mutation that provides a survival advantage against malaria. Here’s a bit more detail: 1. **Malaria Connection**: In regions where malaria is prevalent, carrying one copy of the sickle cell gene (being a "carrier" or having sickle cell trait) offers some protection against severe malaria. This advantage means that carriers are more likely to survive and pass on the sickle cell gene to their offspring. 2. **Genetic Inheritance**: Sickle cell disease occurs when a person inherits two copies of the sickle cell gene, one from each parent. If both parents are carriers, there’s a 25% chance their child will have sickle cell disease, a 50% chance the child will be a carrier, and a 25% chance the child will not have the gene at all. 3. **Population Genetics**: Because the sickle cell gene provides an advantage in malaria-endemic regions, it has become more common in these populations over many generations. As a result, descendants of these populations, including many African Americans, have higher rates of sickle cell disease and trait. In summary, while sickle cell disease is most common among people of African descent, it is not exclusive to them. The distribution of the sickle cell gene is closely tied to historical patterns of malaria prevalence.
I found it very disappointing that he made this show and still seems to not have gone out his way to study a-bit about why we’re mostly impacted he seemed clueless as to why in this interview
@@Sabrina-vb3zuI also found it strange that he hasn’t researched past his initial curiosity to find out that having the sickle cell trait is an evolutionary advantage. I have the trait and know that having the trait is a superpower against Malaria.
As some who fights sickle cell daily, thank you sooo much for shedding a bigger light on this disease… thank you thank you… hope the green light is lit for more seasons……. Thank you Rapman!!
One of the best shows on Netflix hands down. I really want more people to watch, so I've been sharing it with all the groups I'm in and so far everyone who has started it has finished it as soon as they can. It's a hit, no question. For a show with superpowers, it's extremely grounded and I think that gives it something that most super hero type shows just don't have.
Rapman is right i loved british black shows bcz of top boy. The sllang way of life everything. By the time supacell came i was totally sold. Fyi i watched topboy twice to understand the lingo with subtitles but with supacell i didnt do subtitles i already understood bruvva hahahahahha . Much love ❤❤❤ from Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪. I am a fan of yr show too
I appreciate this interview so much for the awareness of sickle cell! Supacell brought tears to my eyes watching it! More awareness is needed for research funding for the betterment of US!
Man..Rapman…bro we are so proud of you and the light you continue to shine on our Country and as a fellow Black Brit born & raised in SW London he is a HUGE inspiration to us 🇬🇧🇬🇧 from when we all went mad over how amazing Shiro’s Story was and couldn’t stop talking about it….I knew he was somethin special! Incredible mind and talent. God blessss u bro! ❤️ UK is taking it & i’m honestly so proud of us frm the South…so much talent😭
LOVE this for so many reasons. The awareness to sickle cell, the connections made, the London meets US. Its a fabulous example of doing what makes you happy and doors will be opened for you. Well done Rap man God Blessed🙌🏾🙏🏾
The fact that Tyler Perry still produces BS ,and this young director pops out with something much better ,is a testament that black people world wide want better representation..
UK slang has heavy influence from Jamaican culture from the influx of Caribbean people in the 50/60s. There is a large jamaican population in Canada and U.K. so the slang is the similar.

So So So Proud of Rapman and The Breakfast Club for this promotion of this Phenomenal series. I too was stuck on it. I love the representation of us in this light. Thank you for that.🙏. If you haven't seen SupaCell do your life a favor and check it.🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love the series on Netflix. I have it on replay while I’m working on my laptop b/c I’m sure I missed some gems and we wanna keep those numbers up! Great interview. Waiting for the podcast special. Congratulations to all involved 🎉
As a black man from south London I can say that we are all extremely proud of Rapman and what he is doing. Big up Rapman every time. Supacell is cold!!
People with the sickle cell trait who are not “sufferers” have immunity against malaria. So even though sickle cell affects lots of people in West Africa (a place well known for malaria), people there who are carriers and not sufferers have a survival advantage against Malaria. Thats the supacell!
Supercell is one of the best syfy shows that I’ve seen in a very long time. From the first episode the show grasps your attention. Good timing, the drama and action that’s in this show is astonishing. Finished this season in two days. Looking forward to another season. Congrats to Rapman and everyone else involved with this project. Excellent.
Thank you Rapman for bringing light to Sickle Cell. Amazing show and we definitely need to start having those conversations about Sickle Cell and bringing awareness to it.
@@Kristen610You are leaving out a very important component to the explanation. Sickle cell disease and sickle cell trait are found predominantly in Africans and African Americans than people from other ethnicities. You need to go read up on it. It does have something to do with malaria.
@@Kim-427 he’s not wrong I think he just didn’t know the connection with Malaria as most of the places malaria is prevalent is in African. Either way he is spreading awareness and more people will see more informed people discussion it like us. Big up Rapman 👍🏾👍🏾
@@BlackR0b He was wrong because he didn’t like them making it about black people. You people are just rude and miserable. As an older person Im blown away that so many of you don’t know about sickle cell. That’s so crazy to me.
Shalom, WAKE THAT MIND UP! Thanks for sharing this conversation with Rapman, his creativity is paramount and is paying off for him big time. Rapman, thank you and kudos to you.
I remember learning in school that people with sickle cell trait (kids if those with sickle cell anemia) have immunity to Malaria. I was surprised that wasn’t Raps’ inspiration but I felt like it still worked out beautifully

London slang comes from the large Caribbean community and Toronto also has a sizeable Caribbean community that's the reason for the similarity.

& English slang 😂 🏴👍 everyone leaves them out
It’s changing. Probably was for your generation but not with the mass migration of Africans with African culture in the U.K
@@veteranclips007 i’m talking about influences of immigration to certain sections of British society, creating sub cultures in the U.K.
@@Maameelle78 yeh totally I agree they have great influence in the slang & words I agree , if look at the comments nobody gives English any credit
@@Maameelle78 true that…still getting use to how Peckham has changed from a majority Jamaican enclave to an African centric area
So So So Proud of Rapman and The Breakfast Club for this promotion of this Phenomenal series. I too was stuck on it. I love the representation of us in this light. Thank you for that.🙏. If you haven't seen SupaCell do your life a favor and check it.🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dope series
Big ups UK
Quite surprised that he didn't know the the orgins of the slang/ dialect is the Caribbean community in both Canada and the UK.
Love the series on Netflix. I have it on replay while I’m working on my laptop b/c I’m sure I missed some gems and we wanna keep those numbers up! Great interview. Waiting for the podcast special. Congratulations to all involved 🎉
Watching his success as a black man from the UK, makes me feel like anything is possible!
As a black man from south London I can say that we are all extremely proud of Rapman and what he is doing. Big up Rapman every time. Supacell is cold!!
People with the sickle cell trait who are not “sufferers” have immunity against malaria.
So even though sickle cell affects lots of people in West Africa (a place well known for malaria), people there who are carriers and not sufferers have a survival advantage against Malaria.
Thats the supacell!
Supercell is one of the best syfy shows that I’ve seen in a very long time. From the first episode the show grasps your attention. Good timing, the drama and action that’s in this show is astonishing. Finished this season in two days.
Looking forward to another season. Congrats to Rapman and everyone else involved with this project. Excellent.
Wonderful interview! Major props to Rapman.
To see Rapman on the breakfast show is levels!
Really enjoyed the interview and it's great to see more black UK shows!
Rapman salute to you, doing us the UK proud. Supacell is a piece of art 🔥👏🏾
As a 🇯🇲 who has a incredibly large percent of 🇬🇧 family it translates really easy.. Was a Great Show & Definatley wanna see more
Rapman you give the hood hope
I’m sooooo happy for RAPMAN
Thank you Rapman for bringing light to Sickle Cell. Amazing show and we definitely need to start having those conversations about Sickle Cell and bringing awareness to it.
Canadian slang and UK slang are both heavily influenced by the caribbean. Thats why they sound so similar
Yeah no shit most of the black people from both countries are of Jamaican descent
UK Stand up, proud!!!!
Big up rapman , shout out from Manchester ✊🏿 loved the show & glad to see you on the breakfast club 🔥🔥
Rapman real south London legend right there 🔥❤️
Sickle cell is primarily found in regions that have malaria
yup it was a genetic mutation to combat malaria
Thank you!!! It was so annoying to hear him attribute it to skin color. He sounds so uninformed!!!
@@Kristen610You are leaving out a very important component to the explanation. Sickle cell disease and sickle cell trait are found predominantly in Africans and African Americans than people from other ethnicities. You need to go read up on it. It does have something to do with malaria.
@@Kim-427 he’s not wrong I think he just didn’t know the connection with Malaria as most of the places malaria is prevalent is in African. Either way he is spreading awareness and more people will see more informed people discussion it like us.
Big up Rapman 👍🏾👍🏾
@@BlackR0b He was wrong because he didn’t like them making it about black people. You people are just rude and miserable. As an older person Im blown away that so many of you don’t know about sickle cell. That’s so crazy to me.
Very humble, ambitious, intelligent and aspiring what a credit to the UK.
It made me sad n happy n sad triggering seeing somebody go thru crisis wen u fighting sickle cell n real life
Shout-out to my sickle cell warriors ❤.
Common denominator between the UK and Canada is Jamaica - hence the slang. You're welcome. Kmt.
Thank. You. Kmt
lots of Jamaicans in US as well
Shalom, WAKE THAT MIND UP! Thanks for sharing this conversation with Rapman, his creativity is paramount and is paying off for him big time. Rapman, thank you and kudos to you.
Amazing interview!!!!!! Excited for S2!!
I remember learning in school that people with sickle cell trait (kids if those with sickle cell anemia) have immunity to Malaria. I was surprised that wasn’t Raps’ inspiration but I felt like it still worked out beautifully
Never heard of RAPMAN, but I truly enjoyed this interview. Can't wait to start watching Supacell and will check out Top Boy as well.
You have to check out the summerhouse version of top boy first it's a prequel
Netflix top boy is exaggerated. Watch top boy summerhouse it’s more realistic
Rapman deserves nothing less. Put in work and Supacell was levels🔥🔥🔥
Supacell was my recent favorite joint on Netflix Period. I’m going to rewatch for certain..
Came straight to this interview after seeing Supacell. I hate that I watched this series. it's sooooooo incredibly good, now I gotta wait years to wait for season 1 and 2
Them using their powers when they are stressed could be a metaphor for a sickle cell crisis, which can happen when under stress.
Lewisham in the building 💫✊🏿🥂
London and Toronto are similar due to both their large Jamaica communities. The Jamaican culture and influence is strong, hence the slang.
