Today Kso Reacts To Akala - Fire In The Booth (part 1). If you enjoyed this video hit that thumbs up button and subscribe to the channel for more content.
Akala's a legend over here. Pure voice of knowledge. He also teaches Shakespeare to kids in prison and community centres. If you rate Akala check out Lowkey too.
Legend for sure. But he doesn’t teach Shakespeare, he owns The Hip Hop Shakespeare company, they teach how Shakespeare is related to hip hop and how similar they are. Check out his Tedx Akala - Hip Hop Shakespeare company, it’s a good watch
@@missqt48 mil- 💀 Akala is one too though LOOL! They just got it wrong. He does "teach it" but in a DIFFERENT context. It's to demonstrate that they can understand Shakespeare because people seem to regard his work as some super COMPLEX thing, almost impossible. And it isn't. And ALSO hey look at rap and what hip hop was like and what you can do with it etc.
Also, Akala is a certified genius I believe. He writes books, plays, scripts and gives lectures at universities, among other things. Proper different breed
Akala is special. You have ‘artists’ that make your head bop and sell records. These artists only elevate their own lives in the short term and might make you feel good for an individual particular moment. But then there are artists like Akala. If you listen to Akala all the time, your outlook on life will change and your new mental will propel you forward to achieve things you’ve always wanted too. If you want to help yourself, start including some of his tracks in your general rotation.
Couldnt agree more. Akala is someone who should be famous the world over. His music is fantastic but his books and his lectures are also essential viewing/reading
Everyone should read this comment. One of the most self empowering things I’ve ever heard was from Akala during one of his lectures at Oxford I watched online. ‘To overcome a hurdle in life you get over it and move past it. To overcome life you need to know what is putting those hurdles in front of you’. You can use that quote for literally every situation you ever encounter in life. It is the single most important thing to understand how to overcome the bigger problem not endlessly fight the short term fights.
Bro you don’t know how long the UK fam been waiting for you to find Akala! The lid is off the box now, you know who the goat is. Akala also gave an address an Oxford university a few years back (in a hoodie) and it’s well worth a watch, not to react to, just for another look in. To be fair, any talks or interviews and especially his book - Akala is one of the greatest educators of our generation IMO and inspired the next generation of uk rappers to use their voice to educate and speak on real issues. Without OGs like Akala, Mic Righteous and Lowkey, we wouldn’t have the current wave of conscious uk rappers, like Dave, Ocean Wisdom, Slow Thai etc. Buzzing for the next 3, you killed it bro
I’ve been saying Lowkey aswell bro seems he doesn’t have enough exposure because the powers to be don’t want us listening to these people, but Lowkey, akala, mic righteous & wretch need listening too
His other fire in the booth the man writes and performs his own novel at the end. Absolute Genius you have to react to it! The UK reactions are quality 👍🏻
Jesus!! I've got kids to feed.... house to clean...and a job to job 😳 HOWEVER.... I need a reaction a day.. now you've landed on Akala #HoldOnToYourPotato 😂🤬😍
Last time I checked Akala now holds 2 Doctorates and is now officially a Professor at a university. Hope you do all of his Fire in the booths pt4 being the best. Also check out his daily Duppy. He has 2 one from like 10 years ago but still is heat a d new one that shows his progression. Akala regular is on political shows in the UK with big name political figures and is a real voice of the people. Peace Bro
Dr Dr akala! And yeah he’s lectured at Oxford university, the 2nd most prestigious behind Cambridge in the UK.. only say 2nd because I’m from Cambridge!!
I must have asked for Akala 50 times bro , do u see now why bro ? 😆 looking forward to part 4 and his latest daily duppy that’s a master class in flows , he pure flexing on it truss
So glad you enjoyed this Akala freestyle, knew it would be right up your alley. He is an absolute legend here in the uk, he’s Independent, owns his own masters, he’s a poet, philosopher, teaches / lectures at universities, he dies even help in politics as an advisor. You are right though,the dude doesn’t get the platform he deserves because he is dangerous, he’s dangerous to authority, he dangerous to the system, the dude is an example of what you can do. He’s just different gravy 👊 But he CAN flow, he CAN give you bars, he CAN educate you and he CAN inspire you and give you hope 👍 This particular FITB is just none stop flows and education, appreciate you paused and stop to break down and discuss, but even if you watch all the way through the performance is just staggering 👏👏👏
BROOOOO!! Akala is a genius over here! Just finished watching this reaction and I AM READY for part 2, 3 AND 4 right now!! Come on mayne!! Great reaction my bro!
Just stumbled across your channel, there isn't many reaction channels that actually understand the lyrics in these songs but I like that you actually understand and break them down as you hear them. Akala is on another level, there are very few that can go toe to toe with him. Keep up the work bro 👏🏻
Yeeessss! So happy you discovered Akala. Enjoy the journey my man! Can’t wait for you to get to to part 4! There are 2 freestyles, make sure you don’t miss the second one Loving your work as always!!
Words can't express how much i love this FITB and Akala - now do 2 and 3, and sit down and hold on to your seat for 4 which is a whole new level, 4 is 2 separate pieces so keep watching when the 1st stops! Also, Dave played "In the fire" at the Brit Awards last night (UK version of the Grammys) and i think you'll love that performance too!
Great that you’ve done one of our hidden gems. Akala is a professor of knowledge. Amazing artist in many ways. His books are 🔥. You need to do Akala FitB part 4 and don’t sleep on the second half as it’s a piece of art. 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Great reaction dude..... Now you've started your akala trip you'll need to complete the series, all 4 🔥 4 is my personal choice but the 1st one is amazing, also his daily duppy's there lyrical masterpieces 👌
Yeeeeessssss, been waiting for this for time, Glad you’ve found him man - look forward to Akala FITB 2, 3 & 4 - which you have to watch all the way through 👊 Plus you’ve GOT to react to WRETCH 32 - DAILY DUPPY, it’s absolute bar city, with multiple layers and schemes - be prepared 🤷♂️
@@jameshart8705 indeed, I have suggested him before but don’t want to overload the Big Dipper just yet. 😉 Think Akalas FITBs will be enough to blow his mind for now, I was also gonna add Kanos FITB as that was just epic and eventually wretch’s daily duppy 👊
My fucking guy me hyped for this so happy right now Big up Jamal Akala fucking goated look into his background bro man well educated so glad u done it can’t wait to part 4 then his daily duppy, it too late now u in the rabbit hole truss me
Liked your reaction, got yourself a sub! Wretch 32, and Akala are GOAT's, but there are many others who make the shortlist Kano, Devlin, Whiley the list goes on. Hope you enjoy discovering them, and the British or English culture they rap about.
ive seen a few diffent reactions and one of yours, before i thought you were just a funny guy with a great laugh, but respect due i really enjoyed listening to what you had to say. Akala is great but like so many informed entertainers he's ignored by the mainstream. luv from the UK
Part 1 and 3 are my favourites, some people favourite is 4 some peoples favourite is 2, there's so much in these FITBs and the progression by 4 is insane !
Akala is a legend, he tours like a rockstar has a true fan base! I can’t wait to watch part 2, parts 2 and 3 are my favourites. Appreciate the analysis, I literally took notes and researched the first time I heard this. I feel total jealousy for anyone who gets to hear this and the others for the first time. Big up from the UK 💛
I’ve watched sooo many of these reactions on Americans watching akala , this was by far one of the best , you completely got it all I loved the reaction , Subbed up , I actually can’t wait to watch you see part 4 I know you’ve already done it like …. Also you gotta see low-key if you like akala and mic righteous …. Big love from the uk my guy
Akala is extremely intelligent he does talks at university’s own the Shakespeare company and is an ex footballer miss dynamite is his sister definitely check out lowkey too
This is why I love rap, proper rap is philosophy poetry knowledge all with a real hard hitting edge, and as a white guy I have the opportunity to learn another culture and the more we understand each other the more harmoniously we can all live together, gangster rap has its place too as hype music but too many people of all colours are seeing it as a way to live by and that’s detrimental
Akala is the god of underground uk rap. We all rate him highly and he really gives his knowledge back to the people by going to universities and speaking. I’d love to see a spoof with him and unknown p
Akala's a legend over here. Pure voice of knowledge. He also teaches Shakespeare to kids in prison and community centres. If you rate Akala check out Lowkey too.

@@rhitewhino8471 now that’s a watch
Always fact check mate!
Teaching Shakespeare to kids 😄😄
He’s a scholar.. not just a rapper. Goes to show you’re either a millennial or you capping 🥱
Dude is a Genius 🔥🔥🔥
Here’s an interesting lecture by Akala
:

Mad respect for jumping in on number one, makes all the difference!!
I been waiting for this one. Bare happy to see he's listening to the best of the best. This fire in the booth series is gonna be crazy
Yes!! Everyone seems to jump on part 3/4. Same with mic righteous. Its a story . Start at the start😅
I love how KSO just judged the man by his clothes and went like "but are the bars there?" Oh man that aged well within a minute
Also, Akala is a certified genius I believe. He writes books, plays, scripts and gives lectures at universities, among other things. Proper different breed
Can reel off his whole resume through his music 🤣🤣
Mad respect that you landed on Akala, he’s the true definition of an activist artist. His Knowledge is next level

Great reaction as ever, Akala along with Mic righteous & Lowkey are the best UK rappers IMO and they have a real message.
Bro do you know about Melanin 9? He's up there too. Listen to Dark Matter, Organised democracy

Hears of kojey radical?

Akala is a Legend in this UK ting
The true goat of freestyle in the UK
Akala gonna blow your mind my man. Part 4. Done.
So glad you enjoyed this Akala freestyle, knew it would be right up your alley.
He is an absolute legend here in the uk, he’s Independent, owns his own masters, he’s a poet, philosopher, teaches / lectures at universities, he dies even help in politics as an advisor.
You are right though,the dude doesn’t get the platform he deserves because he is dangerous, he’s dangerous to authority, he dangerous to the system, the dude is an example of what you can do. He’s just different gravy 👊
But he CAN flow, he CAN give you bars, he CAN educate you and he CAN inspire you and give you hope 👍
This particular FITB is just none stop flows and education, appreciate you paused and stop to break down and discuss, but even if you watch all the way through the performance is just staggering 👏👏👏

Can't wait to see your reaction to part 4, your going to lose your shit at some of the bars he drops! He's an absolute legend and as real as they come
Been waiting for Akala!!! Youve got quite a few to get through but they only get better
Whilst no 4 is defo the best still think you shouldo through them all, the last one hits wayyyyy harder with the context
Should see some of his debates and discussions, he gets invited on to political shows like question time, real intelligent man
Just stumbled across your channel, there isn't many reaction channels that actually understand the lyrics in these songs but I like that you actually understand and break them down as you hear them. Akala is on another level, there are very few that can go toe to toe with him. Keep up the work bro 👏🏻

Good shit brother. One of my fav FITB
All his fire in the booths are legendary. Lowkey is another very good informed UK rapper.
