  • Dave poured his heart out in this freestyle. It was one of the realest things I've ever seen. You have to appreciate the heart he had at 16. Tbh, it was also kind of hard to watch because you can feel the agony through the screen.

      Definitely pretty segregated. The main difference is we mainly see black street culture in the media so that's what we associate with street culture. Street culture and black culture are basically synonymous here. Another difference here is that a lot of black kids that are not from the hood idolized street culture. So the street culture has heavy bleed over into the actual black culture. That plus the media is why i think it's viewed as synonymous here

    Dave's brother was convicted under our "Joint Enterprise" law which permits two or more defendants to be convicted of the same criminal offence in relation to the same incident, EVEN where they had different types or levels of involvement in the incident. Dave's brother Christopher Omoregie, who was 16 at the time was sentenced to life in prison with a 18 years minimum term largely because the knife used in the murder was found in a bag owned by Christopher. The case was one of the largest joint enterprise convictions for a single murder in London.
    The incident formulated when 20 sixth form students who were smart individuals and who were expected to get numerous A and B grades between them, went into Victoria Station to fight another group of students from another school, Sofyen Belamoudden (15) was chased caught in a stairwell and fatally wounded. Dave's brother Christopher was convicted largely because the weapon used was located in a bag belonging to him. There was no evidence he committed the stabbing. Joint enterprise is very contentious as it seems likely that some will end up wrongly punished. Chris was given a life sentence, while the others were given way lower sentences. It's sad because once they are sentenced, nothing can be done. I believe one of the families of the teens sentenced tried to have a retrial but the court did not go through with it.
    Here are the Judge's comments relating to Christopher's case
    On the 25th March 2010 at about 5.15 pm, during the evening rush hour, in the
    presence and sight of many horrified commuters, Sofyen Belamoudden, a
    fifteen year old boy, was attacked in the ticket hall of the District and Circle
    Line at Victoria Station by a pack of teenagers. The attack lasted some 12
    seconds and was captured on CCTV. He was stabbed with knives, battered
    with other weapons, kicked with shod feet. When those 12 seconds were over
    Sofyen was left fatally wounded - with no less than nine stab wounds to his
    body - as his attackers made their escape. Most of them ran to a bus stop in
    Buckingham Palace Road where they boarded a C10 bus. When police boarded
    the bus at the next bus stop they found, amongst other weapons and potential
    weapons, two particular knives. Both had, it transpired, been used to stab
    Sofyen. One was in a bag that belonged to you, Christopher Omoregie and the
    other was wrapped in a newspaper that bore your fingerprints, Obi Nwokeh.
    Upon the basis of the evidence provided by the CCTV and those murder
    weapons you were both convicted by the jury in your joint trial of Murder. You
    denied your guilt at trial and continue to deny it to this day, according to your
    pre-sentence reports. You have also both been convicted of Conspiracy to
    Cause Grievous Bodily Harm, the basis of which I will deal with in a moment.
    You Samson Odegbune, were tried by a second jury in a separate trial. You,
    too, were convicted of the murder of Sofyen, although you took no physical
    part in that final attack upon him in the ticket hall. You were also convicted of
    conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm.
    The dreadful events at Victoria Station on that afternoon had their roots in a
    confrontation that had taken place the previous afternoon at the same station,
    beginning in the food court on the 2nd floor where many young people used to
    gather on their way home from their schools and colleges. You were all
    students at the St Charles Sixth Form College in Ladbroke Grove. You and
    many of your fellow students who were on their way to their homes in South
    London used to travel through Victoria, arriving on a 52 bus and going on
    either by bus or by rail. The other protagonists on that previous day were, it
    seems, students from another West London school or schools. The
    disagreement that took place ended with one of your number receiving a
    bloody nose at the hands of the opposition.
    That night and the following morning there was communication by text and
    by face book messages between members of your group amongst themselves
    and with members of the opposing group. I need not go into that
    communication in any detail save to say that you, Odegbune, played a
    principal role in it. You and the others involved expected trouble and you
    made it clear that you intended to come to college the next day armed with
    your samurai sword. The result was that the St Charles students plainly
    expected that there was going to be serious violence the following day,
    probably, as you then believed, in the vicinity of your college in Ladbroke
    Grove. You expected the West London Boys - as you referred to them - to
    come to the college in force for a violent confrontation. Many of your fellow
    students came to college on that day with a variety of weapons. You,
    Odegbune, had a samurai sword. You, Omoregie, brought to college 2 chef’s
    steels.
    The expected violence was, it appears from the evidence in the case, the talk of
    the college on that Thursday morning and afternoon. As it happened, no
    opposing group came to the college, and consequently you all expected the
    confrontation to take place at Victoria Station as you made your way home
    after college.
    You all travelled to Victoria expecting and intending trouble and prepared for
    it. You, Odegbune, had your sword. You, Omoregie and you, Nwokeh, were
    each by now armed, as I am satisfied you were, with the knives later to be
    found on the C10 bus and already referred to.
    It was in this way that the conspiracy, the subject of count 1, came into being.
    You all arrived at Victoria and gathered on the corner of Buckingham Palace
    Road by the Grosvenor Hotel. It was not long before the opposing group
    arrived, also by bus, from West London. They made their presence known,
    challenging your group from the other side of Terminus Place where the buses
    arrive and depart.
    You, Odegbune, led the charge that resulted. You had taken out your sword.
    You shouted “we’re going to fuck you up”. Although, as I have acknowledged,
    you were not part of the group that attacked and killed Sofyen, you were
    convicted of murder on the basis that you intended that, in the course of your
    attack on the opposing group, someone should be killed or caused really
    serious bodily harm or you realised that such might be the consequence and
    nevertheless took part in the violence.
    The punishment for the offence of murder is fixed by law. You were all aged
    under the age of 18 at the date of the offence. You, Omoregie and Odegbune
    were both 16 years old and you, Nwokeh, were 17. Consequently you fall to
    have passed upon you for the offence of murder sentences of Detention at her
    Majesty’s Pleasure, and those are the sentences that I pass in each of your
    cases. But I have to determine the minimum term that each of you must serve
    before you may be considered for release on licence by the Parole Board. It is
    agreed that, because of your ages at the date of the offence, the starting point
    for each of you is a minimum term of 12 years. That, however, is just the
    starting point and there are a number of factors to be taken into account
    before I arrive at the minimum term to be served in each of your cases.
    You all have the mitigation of youth, although that factor is largely subsumed
    in the starting point. Nevertheless I bear the fact of your youth in mind in your
    favour. So far as an intention to kill is concerned, nobody who has seen the
    CCTV of the killing could possibly conclude, bearing in mind the number of
    weapons at the scene and the use to which they were put in a ferocious and
    merciless attack upon the deceased, that there was any less than an intention
    to kill him.
    There are a number of factors which in my judgment aggravate the offence for
    which you have been convicted.
    (1) There was a considerable degree of planning and premeditation;
    (2) You gathered together for the purpose of serious mass violence in a
    busy public place at the height of the rush hour when you must have
    anticipated many innocent members of the public would be going
    about their lawful business;
    (3) You acted in a large group and the deceased was attacked by at least 8
    persons;
    (4) You carried and used weapons as described above;
    (5) None of you has shown any kind of remorse nor do you in any way
    acknowledge responsibility for your crime.
    Had you been 18 years or older at the time of the commission of the offence,
    you would have been liable for a starting point for your minimum term of 25
    years, due to the carrying of knives and other weapons.
    In fixing the minimum term I take into account your convictions on count 1 of
    the indictment for conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm.
    I see no reason to deal with any of you differently to the others. You, Omoregie
    and Nwokeh, were principals in the attack upon the deceased. You, Odegbune,
    as I have already said, were a principal organiser of the dreadful events of that
    day.
    In each of your cases I take into account all that has been advanced on your
    behalves, and the positive aspects of your conduct while in custody.
    In each of your cases I set the minimum term for your sentences of detention
    at her Majesty’s pleasure at 18 years.
    So far as count 1 of the indictment is concerned, in view of the contents of your
    pre-sentence reports, I do not invoke the dangerousness provisions which
    would lead to an indeterminate sentence. You will each serve concurrent
    sentences of 8 years detention in a young offender institution.
    You, Omoregie, will received credit of 753 days towards your sentence, you,
    Nwokeh, 753 days, and you, Odegbune, 700 days.
    I make no orders for recovery of defence costs in any of your cases.
    You may all go with the dock officers.

      It was such a sad case and my own personal opinion (Uneducated at that and very likely without all the facts to hand) is that Joint Enterprise is not fit for purpose. Specifically in this case my view is the sentencing was way too harsh for some of the individuals involved. Some individuals appear to have ended up in jail for simply watching the events unfold and some appear to have been untouched by the law entirely where they may have had a greater role, certainly more than Christopher Omoregie

    Most people know about Dave’s brother but what I find more sad is the story of Dave’s father. He was a pastor in London that had immigrated from Nigeria and was deported despite him appealing that he was given incorrect documents and that if he went home his safety would be at risk because a religious cult who had killed Dave’s grandfather. The verdict that his deportation would be upheld was given to him as he held a baby Dave in court and that was the last time he seen him because he was murdered by the cult shortly after returning to Nigeria.

    Another great reaction. I love the commentary and insights you both offer. I could write an entire paper on the subjects you raised however I just wanted to point out a few differences in the UK compared to the USA. We have a law in the UK called Joint Enterprise. You can be locked up if you are with someone or a known part of a Gang or group even if you aren't carrying a weapon or actually doing a crime but are present when someone else does. That's why you will see that a lot of rappers where masks in the UK drill scene as they can be charged for being part of a Gang. Dave points out in the track question time that corporations should be charged under the same law however of course they are not. This is one of the reasons Daves brother was charged. Sorry for the long comment. Cheers

Jack was a guy involved in prisoner rehabilitation, and personally worked with Dave's brother. I never personally met Jack but have spoken to a few of his friends since, and they said that Daves recognition of his work helped to ease the pain of that loss.

    Superb reaction of course and words are pointlesswhen trying to describe Dave. He formed thoughts and principles that most 'grown' folk struggle with on a daily basis; we must protect him.

    In the UK most black people won't snitch but it tends to be the rule that if you're not involved in the lifestyle you're not expected to follow the street code. But it's tight because everyone knows someone who is involved in some way so they end up not snitching anyway

    Another UK artist who talks about real stuff, at the time he made that I believe he was 17 which was 10 years ago.
    He got deported to Jamaica in 2014; he's involvement in crime and issues with paper and apparently he was supposed to snitch on a UK artist known as Giggs, which he did not and got deported. He was stuck there till he was allowed to come back to the UK in 2019.

    In the US, hood and black are just about synonyms. I guess it's not like that in the UK.
    Snippet from article encouraging non-hood black people to stop adopting hood culture:
    "Because of the rising popularity of Blackness that looks like Friday, Baby Boy, Belly, BeBe’s Kids, Poetic Justice, and etc. people that didn’t grow up in spaces similar to those seem to be questioning the validity of their definition of Blackness and molding themselves to fit what it is as told by social media." - The Appropriation of Hood Culture (article from Medium)
    It's a thing here. A lot of black women will not date a black guy if he's not "hood enough" even though the girl may be from the burbs. As black men in America, we're expected to have swag, speak slang, and be about that life. If you speak proper English, you will grow up hearing you talk white. If you don't dress like you grew up in the streets, you'll be told you have no swag. If you don't glamorize the streets, you'll be told you're a square.
    This is part of the black experience in the US. This is why I say the culture needs to change.

Go out on a Friday or Saturday night in any town Centre ( once we are already again ) and you will see a lot of people fighting then I would imagine you would see in America.

    imo snitching is completely fair game if you yourself are not involved in the conflict. However if you yourself are involved in the criminal behavior, then it is reprehensible. The classic example now is 69, in that case he was the damn ring leader of a series of hits yet he snitches on the people involved, some of whom were acting under his command and money.
    Great reaction as always, another track where Dave deals with knife crime is 'Hangman', i'd check that out. the backstory behind that one is that a friend of his was stabbed, then on twitter Dave called for more police stop and search, then he got backlash for that tweet and then addressed it in a song.

    A knife is more scary to me. A gun goes off and people are alerted, so help can come from others if you are incapacitated. But someone comes at you with a knife, there is no noise to alert people. Also hot bullets cauterize wounds (slows the bleeding), but a knife just makes you bleed out.

    The snitching rule is very simple. If you are involved in street shit then you accept everything that comes with it good and bad. If you are involved in any criminal enterprise and you get caught and tell on your co-defendent you a snitch. If you are a civilian and something happens to you and you call the police that is not snitching. The criminals in that case were sloppy. A civilian can goto the police cos they don't abide by the same rules that a criminal lives by. Civilians operate within the law. Criminals operate outside of the law. When police tell you "Anything you say will be taken down and used against you"... That ain't no joke..... That's why it's always "NO COMMENT".... Everytime people talk they help the police.
    Knife crime is a problem in the UK, just because they are easily accessible compared to a gun. A kid could have a knife because all they have to do is goto their mums kitchen draw. A gun you have to know people that have access to them. The access in USA is easier as your laws are based around being able to have them. In UK guns are outlawed but they get shipped in from Eastern Europe.

And it’s not even jus the knife crime, Uk is huge for acid attacks it showed it in top boy twice one in a jail cell and one in the streets where they run into ops and they pour acid on ppls face burning them for life and leaving them in agony cos they were born in a different area it’s so. Also gun crime is getting worse on top of all that with ppl getting shot in broad daylight shooting made even worse by the fact guns r 100% illegal in the uk.

    I would not like to be shot or stabbed, and have never been (although I have had a loaded and cocked double barrell shotty pointed in my face when i was about 7years old, ironically that was not even inner city hood shit)
    I am far more fearful of a Knife than a gun, and someone who can look you in the eye and then plunge a knife or sword in you...like its nothing? yeh you don't wanna fuck with someone like that, that's COLD and I don't mean cold like "Cool" or "lit" I mean cold like Psycho, no remorse cold
    You should look into knife defense, people who are skilled at it...usually get stabbed 2-4 times before they get a chance to get the knife out there hand, its actually easier to disarm someone with a gun if you are face to face (I don't wana try either to be honest lmao)

    The no snitching rule should only apply among criminals. If you will never help out the cops because of this no snitching rule, you have no right to ever complain about the cops not doing their job. And even among criminals, good chance the other guys will snitch on you anyway so I would probably snitch as well. Even the whole Gambino family wanted to snitch when they got caught. Why would you trust a criminal on doing what is right? Most are in crime because they are selfish.
