I met Chip when he was just starting out and was still Chipmunk. He was doing a club appearance in my city and after he performed he was just wandering the club on his own, while all his friends were in VIP. We ended up chatting to him and he was really lovely and so humble. I always remember that. I've really loved seeing how his evolved from that little yout
Chip really was the guinea pig he took The stones of crossing over genres years back , and now artists aspire to make the crossover , but back then it was almost seen as betrayal not progression , And he a major player in uk music becoming what it is today!
American here, first heard of Chip late last year when Stormzy pulled up to his house and he dropped “Flowers,” & “Killer MC,” and have dug through lots of his discography/catalogue since...prefer him over ALL these younger generation rappers on this side of the pond (especially “mumble/trap/SoundCloud” rappers)...I really hope he attempts more stuff over here again someday because things have changed since his first attempt stateside and the independent scene is even bigger!!
I think I remember seeing Chip as a youngster at Wordplay Studio in Tottenham N17, he’s always been a overly talented spitter and is a legend of the UK music scene
Mate chip’s come back is massively underrated! The growth this guy has achieved is admirable! Especially with over the last few years, the level of his music really put him in his own lane. The guy definitely is a legend in the game and deserves so much more recognition! And this is coming from a guy that never use to rate him in his early years.
RIDE Music You are correct. I follow a lot of people who are excellent but don't have great numbers and then some people with huge numbers, but I can't see why because they have neither the charisma, information or even the content that I believe would get them >100k followers. You are so correct. As always, do you and do you to your best ability and if people come great and if not then you haven't lost anything. Btw I've been into hip hop and other genres from the mid 80s and I've seen the come and seen them go, so nothing really surprises me. Your channel is informative, interesting and isn't trying to push the audience in any direction. It's honest and I remember in the days of the mid 90s when everyone was chanting 'keep it real!' and then go on to do the exact opposite.... lol... such is life. Stay true to you. I'm on your case because I know you deserve to be huge and will get there too.
Bro I just saw an ad on this channel with TI Playing in a show called Monster Hunters. . .wtf?! lmao Also, flawless video as always, His career had it's ups and downs but hopefully he didn't give up.
American fan of chip here I’ve been a fan since his first mix tape and still am today he is still amazing and I’m glad that he is back in the U.K. He has way better music when he’s home. I will always be a fan and love chip.
I'm more worried about your eye to be fair...has someone jabbed you!lol just playin man.... another good video with well researched content spot on mate 😉
@@zukispur5493 They were first Generation UK rappers what do you expect?? also other pioneering UK rappers like the Demon Boyz and London Posse did it in their London accents way before anybody from the Grime scene.
Thanks for doing this. Chip does not receive the accolade he deserves. You think the UK would be proud of what he has contributed for the industry. Bags of talent. Top three Grime/ Rapper. He is talented, witty, charismatic with his flow. His word play is out of this world. I feel for him as he seems like his fighting this whole battle of keeping Grime alive, with no support from the other artist. A genre that has taken hard work, sacrifice to achieve. Looks like everyone are selling out. Chippy- GOAT.
One thing that struck me throughout one part.. when it was said.. "Time to go back to basics".. that's a raw quote..and for any performer/artist.. who hit the top..then stays medioka..BUT..still sustaining the name they built where no man can KO.; Ultimate Respect to Chip for..GBTBs!👊💪
Thank you so much for making this. Can’t believe it’s taken this long for someone to breakdown chips evolution . Any reactor who claims to not know about Chip ( which I’ve seen many) I’m just going to link them this.
@@mray9305 and if its all about numbers and millions stormzys better than skepta kano wretch akala included. Dont mistake numbers for talent. Just because more girls on capital hear your song because they've been paid to play it constantly means fuckall
@@mray9305 u know how big chip used to be? He's had massive start success too.. he's smashed it he aint gotta be jealous he has talent to make it again.
I am 60 from Brixton London u.k. I lived in USA for 40years and I am a black man. I first saw chip 3years ago in the leathal bizzle video. I also loved the perri perri sauce. I did not realize that he was such a big star. I new he was wikid especially in the video with him and stormzy. Hope your eye gets better soon bruv.
Yeah he’s been about a while now, I was only 15 when I saw him live in 2010! Where did you live in the USA? I’ve always wanted to visit and still do but never had the time/money. Appreciate you watching the video, got drops for the eye so it’s getting better!
I am currently in NYC . I have been studying ardee and aitch lately... There was a man on said video with ardee,...." t ion video, after American bugsy malone.. ?.. maybe it wasn't bugsy malone, ?! Any way the man that come on after the American guy Had on a mask and I don't know anything about him, he said something like " B' double S', bussup D' pumpum leave dat wet " .. whoever this man is has a savage cadence to his flow.. if you know his name please tell me. . Good for the eye drops .. and yes I have been very much into (music ) for over 40years.
Chip is my favourite artist, not mc but artist. He can put a tune together and he has bars. He has some cold mixtape and albums. Not many people love music like chip. You can tell he has real passion. I wasn't feeling that transition album but at the time I was mostly listening to man from Midlands, like Notts and brum. The time I feel Midlands kept grime alive (video idea?) but then again I think logan sama had his after hours show at the time and London man was going in. Anyway big up chip and big up you for the vids. Put together nicely
Yeah that'd be a sick video. Brum and midlands definitely kept Grime alive when London abandoned it for the 'road rap' era. When Giggs, Joe Black, Squeeks, Margs, J Spades, Morrison etc were all on top
i actually used to hate chip but since he kinda blew the grime scene up again with that diss to everyone i gained way more respect for him as a barsmith and an mc, now i look forward to his shit fr
I'm the same, i thought he got corny and way to big-headed but he definitely redeemed himself & put a buzz back into grime with pepper riddim and the disses
DEFINITELY underated... Chip just needs album with one producers, imagine what he would do if he worked with the same ppl Dave, Stormzy and Kano work with..
Chip had bars but no edge. All the grime mcs that made something in the scene had street rep and bars. Chip just wasn't ever about that. Only came back to grime when his pop career flopped.
@@lakun76 I think in a nut shell Mr Fry is rite I like Chip but he missing something he went to US in the real pond where even tho you have alot of bullshit mumble rap its still home of the GODS in spitting & he knew it wasnt gonna work he came back stayed in his lane he done pop but it didnt really cut it, now hes in his lane and has a following. He should be happy its better than stacking shelves in Asda FACTS!
Would love to see a K Koke video. He had a few sick tracks an insane fire in the Booth. Got signed to def jam then dropped off. Don't really know the ins and outs of this and would be interested to see your take!
My man should have way more subscribers haven't long been watching but every video is quality content and very informative big ups from Swansea Wales 🏴🏴🏴
He tried to flee the uk scene. How is this such a positive perspective on the fact that he got fleeced trying to turn his back on the uk. He wasn’t all that talented to begin with and the uk favoured the success of the tinie tracks wifey and tears. Chip didn’t have anything close to these tracks in the underground so he must’ve felt the scene turn their backs on him. And to some extent it did. I would like to mention that I was born in london and actually lived in Atlanta GA since the 90s so don’t come at me with out a proper timeline or facts.
Chip going to America was like neo going to the oracle asking if he's the one in the matrix , your not the one when you have to look for approval, you are if n when you believe you are.
chip never lived in tottenham he lived ina housing estate in greenlanes and then moved to enfield somehwere when we was in college. he did hang out in schotland green and npk alot but was never from their. I grew up with him around me went to college with him and used the same studios as him in my younger years. but he progressed done his thing I moved on to a normal life.
Chip will always be Legendary! Unfortunately his first management he was signed up to did him dirty! I believe many others around him did him dirty too! He could have made it if he chose to stay unsigned, which would have been difficult but he’s super talented I know he could have made it!
We fuck wit CHIP and SKEPTA over here at least in the H. I'm from Houston Texas and we have are own styles like "CHOPPED AND SCREWED" and "DIRTY SOUTH"... speaking of T.I. he's given us some credit but not enough for the amount of Flava he's ran off wit. But CHIP goes hard in Texas and Louisiana especially since he'd be considered as UNDERGROUND over here since he isn't Mainstream in the US.
Good video. Thank you. Chip is monster! I love his music. For me Chip is much much better than Stromzy definitely! I wish Fredo and Chip make good song together 🤞🤞🤞

He does. Just not by those born after 2000 lol.

@@tomteasyy5875 did he do that one after Daves "Clash"?
You need to listen to more early grime mcs chip is just the tip of the iceberg you can check my grime playlist if you want early and new stuff

I never used to like Chip at all. But, over the last year or so he has grown on me and I respect everything he's done. He is a great bar for bar MC..
You deserve more followers bro that was a good watch. Chip is a uk legend 🙌🏻
Just come across you randomly but feeling the content man 👊🏼

Also, flawless video as always, His career had it's ups and downs but hopefully he didn't give up.
Dude you’re good at explaining things, easy to listen too. Rate your content bro 😎
Chip deserves his flowers along with Dappy with the amount they have done for the music industry.
Dappy? 😂😂😂😂 Who cares about Dappy some irrelevant don
Lol dappy. That was more of insult than a compliment
Each to their own 👍
@@bs075 Dappy is not irrelevant and doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Also is one of the most talented in the scene.
I fully agree.

Respect. I like Chip as well, I also like Stormzy
The guy is a beast, every real mc must respect his pen
He's okay
@Onepunchwilleh he is right just ok 👌.... not top tier like akala, mic righteous, lowkey to name a few real mcs
First video of yours I’ve watched I’m subscribed now, loved the video bro
Chip is underrated and deserves more respect on his name.
Really enjoyed the video and loving all of your content. Looking forward to the next one. Thank god Chip came home! 🙏
Glad to discover this Channel keep up the good work
His back and forth with Bugzy Malone was gold.
I'm more worried about your eye to be fair...has someone jabbed you!lol just playin man.... another good video with well researched content spot on mate 😉
Chip is legendary..people don't seem to realise..never spit nothing but 🔥 😎
Please don’t forget the UK MC’s that made a mark in the USA long before Chip and Dizzee.

I didn't even notice your eye til you mentioned it.
Great video man! But what’s wrong with your eye?
Good video
Thanks man!
Fire video!
Chip is a cetified geeza when it comes to spitting. If anyone hasn't given TEN10 the time of day it deserves, do it. Vampire Life slaps.
Still saying the Chip nd Bugsy Malone beef brought some of the hardest tunes going
One thing about him, he never went backward…pivoted? Yes. But backward? NEVAAAAHH
Chip going to America was like neo going to the oracle asking if he's the one in the matrix , your not the one when you have to look for approval, you are if n when you believe you are.
And he wernt
Serious question here. Do you have pink eye?
He didn’t want to join the illuminati
chip never lived in tottenham he lived ina housing estate in greenlanes and then moved to enfield somehwere when we was in college. he did hang out in schotland green and npk alot but was never from their. I grew up with him around me went to college with him and used the same studios as him in my younger years. but he progressed done his thing I moved on to a normal life.
Chip's one of the real one, great video! I send my prays for the eye
Shades required 😎
As an American fan, I just don't know what life is if we don't have Michelle riddim. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Chip will always be Legendary! Unfortunately his first management he was signed up to did him dirty! I believe many others around him did him dirty too! He could have made it if he chose to stay unsigned, which would have been difficult but he’s super talented I know he could have made it!
Shook his hand back wen his album dropped he's real street family
Is this the same chip who was in S club juniors…..I think road man must struggle with that……
We fuck wit CHIP and SKEPTA over here at least in the H. I'm from Houston Texas and we have are own styles like "CHOPPED AND SCREWED" and "DIRTY SOUTH"... speaking of T.I. he's given us some credit but not enough for the amount of Flava he's ran off wit.

Can we talk about your f*cked up eye please? LOL! Big up RIDE Music...
Ahaha called Uveitis bro, inflammation of the inside of my eye. Mad. Just comes on randomly, on the steroid drops now 🙏
The american exeperience made him the artist he is now 🎯
100%, big turning point
Same with skepta
Nah mate skepta took the "oath" hes alligience is woth the god of this world we living in now... chip didnt take the oath
The oath ffs 3mason shit
America killed chips hype
Who farted on your pillow bro? 😂
