"I'm like a cigarette, I'll hurt you internally - but they can't put me down and keep burning me" COME ON BRO the absolute cleverness of this bar though
My names devs I’m a local degenerate so I smoke and drink for the hell of it if it’s war there’s 64 from develin ..... still the greatest freestyle lyrical content meaning and ability
Sure, a genius by rapper standards. But he's one of the few who isn't a brainless cretin. Don't get me wrong: few rappers have lyrics as good as Devlin. But it's nothing special.
It actually is mate I've been down a grime freestyle for hours. Devlin has always been my favourite. My ex girlfriend supported him in Newcastle which was fucking sickkk. He's the best man.
societyinflames eminem can do better but then eminem dose rap and Devlin dose grime there is a different so technically no one can do it better than him but if he ever had a rap battle with Eminem he would get destroy
Devlin, I have been a fan since 2008, you're the man. How you are not bigger than you are I can't understand. You're confidence on the mic used to be unrivalled and you could spit the best of rhymes. Bring back that raw attitude of I can't be fucked with and fuck you if you don't like it
Devlin needs more love, he linked "inadequate measurement" - "vocal impediment" and "local degenerate" together what the fuck is that man, very few rappers in history is on that level of rhyme scheme
Revisiting this video with the news of Jamal's passing. This was my favourite from a time where watching SBTV was a big part of my life. RIP Jamal, you paved the way for success for so many that otherwise wouldn't have had a platform. Will be sadly missed.
"If you ain't heard of me it's purgeary, None of these men can verbally murder me, I'll break in my doctors surgery, ransack the drugs, and then get arrested for burglary" even 10 years later his flow here still gets me gassed 🔥🔥rahhh
This won over any other sbtv video ever, even to this day it hasn't been topped. If you disagree then prove me wrong, it's lyrically perfect with a murderous flow
@@jakegorton1367 theres a reason he featured on an Ocean Wisdom track n not the other way round, he jus dont have that mainstream pull like other barrers do
"im like a cigarette ill hurt you internally but he cant put me down you keep burning me" that line right there wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow unfucking believable
Remember sitting in the library in sixth form when this first come out, and all the videos of him and ed and the bois just taring it up on SBTV, DAMN those days were good.
"So fuck anyone hating on me I'm great in the scene and I'm blatant to see I'll kill you off like an ancient disease My name spread like the great plague in the streets You can't turn the tables on me There ain't a MC I'm unable to beat So take my advice and wisely retreat Devlin the biggest MC this side of the sea"
Suraj's Opinion is Better "No solid albums." Lmao Bud, Sweat and Beers is a UK classic and this is coming from someone who has always disliked Devlin as a person for going at Lowkey. You're a fool.
Cause whether you like me is irrelevant, you still can't deny talent when it's evident I'm off the scales they're an inadequate measurement, most of these men have got a vocal impediment. WOW
I bury MCs on SBTV so deep theyll on have to reapto me, say hello to the demons for me, And dont think cus i just been signed, i aint still the most venomous grime MC Jheeeeeeezee like if you still listen to this guy now, goes innnnn!
Yeah yeah They want 64 bars, I want 64 whips and yards And I don’t care who they think that they are Cause I will laugh at your staff as I carve them in half I’m positive like H.I.V I’ll bury emcees on SB.TV So deep that they'll only have the reaper to meet Say hello to the demons for me And don’t think cause I’ve just been signed that I still ain't the most venomous grime emcee I catalysed half of the scene into making songs with the hearts on their sleeve So tell your whole team that I’m iller You can’t see me like an evening with Cilla That’s why I find them hard to believe When they're talking greased like they're larger than me If you ain't heard of me, thats perjury None of them men couldn't verbally murder me I’ll break in my doctors surgery Ransack the drugs and then get arrested for burglary It’s quite sick, cause only 6 years ago, none of them cunts had ever heard of me I’m like a cigarette I’ll hurt you internally But they can’t put me down, they keep burnin’ me So fuck anyone hatin’ on me I’m great in the scene and that’s blatant to see I’ll kill you off like an ancient disease My name spread like the great plague of the streets You can’t turn the tables on me There ain't an MC I'm unable to beat So take my advice and wisely retreat Devlin the biggest emcee this side of the sea Minute and a half, I’ll bury anybody with the lyrics in my bars Ripping you in half because I’m lyrically advanced If you look up in the sky I’ll be sitting on the stars I’m walking down the road to Zion, like Damien Marley and Nas All your staff will get scarred if we ever cross paths It ain't long like giraffes You will be laying on your arse and asking where the fuck you are I’m the captain, you can’t take charge of my craft You’re in deep with Jim if you can’t swim I won’t even throw you a raft Scream SOS I’ll just laugh ’cause I’m back with a bang, like a bomb in Iraq With a crash and a flash and a spark I’ll creep in the night like a thief in the dark So anybody reckoning they're levelling with Devlin Will get left fucked like their features are feminine ‘Cause you can’t keep up with the pace and the rate that I keep on developing So investigate like Kojak, and you'll know that I injected the whole grime scene with a shot of adrenaline Now watch me resurrect grime from the dead again ‘Cause whether you like me is irrelevant You can’t deny talent when it's evident I’m off the scales of an inadequate measurement Most of these men have got a vocal impediment My names Devs, I’m a local degenerate So I drink and I smoke for the hell of it Play the beat and I’ll carry on deadin' it This is war that's 64 from Devlin!

I show everyone this bar
Facts
I've literally just read this while going mad to that bar
Best bar im grime for me 🔥🔥
Wasted on the new generation.. they don't even know what a CD is 😂
One of the best freestyles on the planet. Been watching this for over ten years and still gives me goosebumps

Never stopped being one of the best
Stilll
This freestyle has lived in my head rent free for 13 years
4 years later still the best f64 out
Tyrone No, Lowkey's a talentless prick. But, you're right about Akala: that guy's insane.
Sure, a genius by rapper standards. But he's one of the few who isn't a brainless cretin. Don't get me wrong: few rappers have lyrics as good as Devlin. But it's nothing special.
Black the Ripper's is the best imo
Nah akalas is lyrically better just less to do with murking heads
If you want to listen to the best 'angry' mc ever listen to Big L
This is one of the best freestyles ever on the internet.
It actually is mate I've been down a grime freestyle for hours. Devlin has always been my favourite. My ex girlfriend supported him in Newcastle which was fucking sickkk. He's the best man.
This is still so fucking sick
Ik big fan best one yet init
Still sick now
Johnny Carey it will never not be sick
Still bad now

Still banging this in 2020 🔥🤟🏼
@Happy Thanos shush your lips before i wrap them round your ears

How on earth does this masterpiece only have 3M views????
It's been 10 YEARS and this is still in my top 10 Freestyles of all time.
Devlin is one of the best grime mcs ever! His bars are just on a totall different level..2019 still listening
Still fire in 2016.
a1
societyinflames eminem can do better but then eminem dose rap and Devlin dose grime there is a different so technically no one can do it better than him but if he ever had a rap battle with Eminem he would get destroy

They could NEVER
2019 and I'm still listening to the lyrical genuis
12 years later and this is still one of the most important icon F64
I come back to this a lot, its profound, intense. Epic, whatever you wanna call it. Youre a giant Devs.
people dont even understand how good this guy is haha!
Still the sickest sbtv to this day.
Still my fav rapper. So underrated

Devlin needs more love, he linked "inadequate measurement" - "vocal impediment" and "local degenerate" together what the fuck is that man, very few rappers in history is on that level of rhyme scheme
correct
Best lyricist ever
He is the most skilled rapper as you may well know these flows are unbeaten he is very true to himself and others around him
still the hardest video SBTV have ever uploaded - remember the day this got uploaded as well, crazy how time flies!
same
Saidz ain't it just😯
10 years now, crazy ain't it!
"I'm off the scale of inadequate measurement most of these men have got a vocal impediment"
Wether you like me or not is irrelevant you can’t deny talent when it’s evident
My names devs I’m a local degenerate

Rip Jamal Edwards, changed the game and inspired a generation. SBTV influenced millions and enabled so many artists to blow up
Three and a half years later, this is still my favourite freestyle ever.
I'm Jordan how about now after 7 years ? Still your favourite?
10 years later and still one of, if not THE hardest tracks ever made
man I remember first hearing this and now 13 years later its still incredible.
2018 listening and not disappointed 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥🎤🎤
Still the coldest f64 to grace sbtv 🌬🌬❄️
2019 still listening !!!😂😂😂
2020 still here
2020 and still heat 🔥
"If you ain't heard of me it's purgeary,
None of these men can verbally murder me,

YGM
This won over any other sbtv video ever, even to this day it hasn't been topped. If you disagree then prove me wrong, it's lyrically perfect with a murderous flow
Devs never got the recognition he deserves. Lyrically one of the best MC’s ever
2021 & this still remains the best F64
Undoubtedly
This is a huge tb😮💨 I remember when this first dropped!
This kid is so talented!!! I wish him the best!
Still fire in 2015
hellz yeah, devlin tracks are still bangin, that latest maverick sabre feature was wicked
Pretty much 10 years on and I’d listened to it that many times I still know every verse, fucking quality devs
Grew up with this venom, still making me look discusted 2023 legend in the old game
Same 🔥
still listening to this today, most lyrical mc of all time
Maybe most lyrical in grime.
Check out canibus - master thesis though. Canibus is next level
11 years & I still can't get hold of the instrumental 😩
Same here
Bro! It’s been stressing my out for years
@@35dillinger same man I need this beat I got bars for it had them for years I got beat creatures mixtape an it’s not on there either
Beat creatures - hells cemetery
1:38 goosebumps every time
This and his track called “Shot Gritty” are two of the best lyrically he’s ever come with.
Shot gritty a masterpiece
It's a masterpiece
Back here in 2024 for a taste of what I vote is still the best F64 drop of all time.
Absolute filth, gutted he hadn't made it as big as Dave has, both on such a similar skill of lyricism
Coldest mc to come out the UK, there is literally no debate 🥶
Lunar C is the best rapper to come out of the UK, there's no competition, his albums all speak for themselves
@@jakegorton1367 I love Lunar C, and I love Devlin, but I'm gonna have to throw Ghetts into the equation 😬
@@jakegorton1367Lunars the battlerap goat thats it
@@OffTheBatMusic did you actually listen to any of his albums before making this comment?
@@jakegorton1367 theres a reason he featured on an Ocean Wisdom track n not the other way round, he jus dont have that mainstream pull like other barrers do
I remember watching this when it first got released, it is still fire now🔥
I'll always come back to this. I've literally had this on repeat since it came on TH-cam
Big up Delvin each and every time
Some of the best bars I've heard in a very very long time! Jheeeeeeeze!
Shiiiiiiiit man that's still the hardest f64 to date and that's 3 years ago yano!!!!!

2023 still bangs !!!!
2020 and it's still smashing it. Lyrically advanced 🎤
I can’t believe I have only just came across this, this is hard fr, 2021 anyone?

"im like a cigarette ill hurt you internally but he cant put me down you keep burning me" that line right there wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow unfucking believable
thats the line XD
my fav
A lot of US rappers are shit compared to UK rappers like devlin and mic righteous, they deserve more recognition.
I totally agree
Eyes and buggy Malone are better than any U.S. Rapper mabe no slim but he shit now devlin was good but he's gone dead
Jack Moy ANY? hahahahahahahahahaha
Pharoahe Monch, eLZhi, Black Thought, Nas, Rakim, Kool G Rap, Scarface and the list goes on.
+Jack Moy Bugzy is not that hard hahaha Eyez is ill though.
+BoySyndicate666 A lot of UK rappers are shit compared to Devlin and Mic Righteous

Devlin is honestly insanley skilled, his music is dark and it suits his style so well!
this freestyle gives me chills
Kids these days will never understand real talent
Big up devs
This is a madness , close to shady's level
This was big in my childhood and now it's still looking big to me in 2019🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm off the scales they're an inadequate measurement, most of these men have got a vocal impediment
2016
straight banging
Are you fucking mad how can you dislike this.
Drake fanboys
Remember sitting in the library in sixth form when this first come out, and all the videos of him and ed and the bois just taring it up on SBTV, DAMN those days were good.
Will anyone come near to devlin ?
simply put, never
Listen to rhyme asylum
@Anthony You know ;) + split prophets
Lowkey alphabet assassin and his f64.
in grime there is a few but the best is novelist
"So fuck anyone hating on me
I'm great in the scene and I'm blatant to see
I'll kill you off like an ancient disease
My name spread like the great plague in the streets
You can't turn the tables on me
There ain't a MC I'm unable to beat
So take my advice and wisely retreat
Devlin the biggest MC this side of the sea"
+KnownEpidemic His first line was trash, "Leaving with 64 whips and yards", average to say the least.
67th Same meaning, different trash.
+Suraj's Opinion is Better , not as trash as your ability to comprehend what he's saying lmao.
+KnownEpidemic Same meaning, again. I think he's garbage, no solid albums, a decent F64 at best, can't really clash as well tbh.
Suraj's Opinion is Better "No solid albums." Lmao Bud, Sweat and Beers is a UK classic and this is coming from someone who has always disliked Devlin as a person for going at Lowkey.
You're a fool.
HELP instrumental or soundtrack anyone .?
still bangs in 2021
Cause whether you like me is irrelevant, you still can't deny talent when it's evident I'm off the scales they're an inadequate measurement, most of these men have got a vocal impediment. WOW
Wow. Just wow.
Zaitei have a shave
croo mgooo Grow a beard.
Zaitei got 1 just not a mess like that orange thing why o why fs dont take it to heart
croo mgooo Alright calm down pal.
I still regularly come back to this video! It's still so good. Best f64 right there

I bury MCs on SBTV so deep theyll on have to reapto me, say hello to the demons for me, And dont think cus i just been signed, i aint still the most venomous grime MC
Jheeeeeeezee
like if you still listen to this guy now, goes innnnn!
Mike Tyson of grime right here never heard anyone put words together like this man
i would love to see Devlin battle Lunar C.. who would win? Hmmm?
tuff one man!
Devs doesn't battle, he said in some interview its not his thing
Side man comment
Lunar c is pants lol
***** Although I agree, I think Dev could fit into battling, I mean listen to Extra Extra! He knows how to diss people haha
Resurrect grime from the dead again
When grime was really grime
i tell youu what i come back to this vid every few months and it still blows me away. Best f64 probably.
Yeah yeah
They want 64 bars, I want 64 whips and yards
And I don’t care who they think that they are
Cause I will laugh at your staff as I carve them in half
I’m positive like H.I.V
I’ll bury emcees on SB.TV
So deep that they'll only have the reaper to meet
Say hello to the demons for me
And don’t think cause I’ve just been signed that I still ain't the most venomous grime emcee
I catalysed half of the scene into making songs with the hearts on their sleeve
So tell your whole team that I’m iller
You can’t see me like an evening with Cilla
That’s why I find them hard to believe
When they're talking greased like they're larger than me
If you ain't heard of me, thats perjury
None of them men couldn't verbally murder me
I’ll break in my doctors surgery
Ransack the drugs and then get arrested for burglary
It’s quite sick, cause only 6 years ago, none of them cunts had ever heard of me
I’m like a cigarette I’ll hurt you internally
But they can’t put me down, they keep burnin’ me
So fuck anyone hatin’ on me
I’m great in the scene and that’s blatant to see
I’ll kill you off like an ancient disease
My name spread like the great plague of the streets
You can’t turn the tables on me
There ain't an MC I'm unable to beat
So take my advice and wisely retreat
Devlin the biggest emcee this side of the sea
Minute and a half, I’ll bury anybody with the lyrics in my bars
Ripping you in half because I’m lyrically advanced
If you look up in the sky I’ll be sitting on the stars
I’m walking down the road to Zion, like Damien Marley and Nas
All your staff will get scarred if we ever cross paths
It ain't long like giraffes
You will be laying on your arse and asking where the fuck you are
I’m the captain, you can’t take charge of my craft
You’re in deep with Jim if you can’t swim
I won’t even throw you a raft
Scream SOS I’ll just laugh ’cause I’m back with a bang, like a bomb in Iraq
With a crash and a flash and a spark
I’ll creep in the night like a thief in the dark
So anybody reckoning they're levelling with Devlin
Will get left fucked like their features are feminine
‘Cause you can’t keep up with the pace and the rate that I keep on developing
So investigate like Kojak, and you'll know that
I injected the whole grime scene with a shot of adrenaline
Now watch me resurrect grime from the dead again
‘Cause whether you like me is irrelevant
You can’t deny talent when it's evident
I’m off the scales of an inadequate measurement
Most of these men have got a vocal impediment
My names Devs, I’m a local degenerate
So I drink and I smoke for the hell of it
Play the beat and I’ll carry on deadin' it
This is war that's 64 from Devlin!
Still listening 🔥🔥
