Most proud moment ‘making my mums sacrifices worth it’
Spoken like a truly humble person. Legend
Best channel around. Dizzee was so influential for me. I had the privilege of growing up to Jungle, D&B and Garage in the 90s. Then Grime happened and hearing the roughness and how Dizzee changed the way MC’s spit bars I started becoming a Grime fan as well as changing the way I MC. I done it for fun and am glad to see the UK scene develop to what it is today with so many successful artists. Dizzee is a GOAT and paved the way. Thanks LadBible this was very insightful.
Always respected him... he went out, and made it.
As a South Londonder Myself, I get the struggles breaking free from a council estate.
The struggles you go through are unlike many other places.
But, as he said, community, the memories, its a strong place that builds strong character.
Crazy, I grew up to his music, he's only 35?? WOW...
He's only a few years older than me. For some reason I see people who made it big as being much older, not sure why that is.
yeah its really not that hard, you just give yourself shit reasons to stay . . .
So is he like the 2pac of their country?
@@DetroitRockin no.
@@DetroitRockin he's most legendary or 2nd most legendary rapper/ grime MC from the UK but he isn't like Tupac
I could listen to an hour of this. The Don.
Watch his James English podcast on here with him such a good watch dizzee such a good guy I met him and plastered his studio and was asked to help him move house and did and met him day his maths and English album come out he gave me a load of signed stuff such a good guy and can approach him and chat about his music and he had a laugh as well
@@pagey5457 Cheers bro, I will. Sounds like a top bloke.
I remember watching him do a jungle set back in the day, he's a legend.
Boy in Da Corner is easily the best grime album ever and considering he produced most of it and was a kid when he made it, it's an insanely good piece of work.
I don't like his pop stuff or his recent forays back into grime but that's his choice. Either way he's etched his name in music history forever and his talent is undeniable.
Dizzee Rascal has gotta be my favourite artist.
Absolutely. Beastie boys was my very first song, but dizzee rascal - boy in da corner was my very first album. Must be 15 years old, still in my car
@@harrylloyd6955 one of the best albums I've ever heard
Yeah he’s not only a great musical artist, but he’s very humble and honest. Refreshing to see that these days
Fr
Boy in the corner classic shit man. Legend.
I remember buying it when it came out and i had never heard shit so tough and confrontational. It was so fucking excellent
He became a number one because he made songs like bonkers and got a few number ones when he was independent which is a testament to his penmanship because prior to that he was signed. But Boy In Da Corner album will forever be the Grime Bible it's basically the book of Genesis in this case the book of Dizzee Rascal. The man is a Black British Icon...facts or facts? (U better act like you know)
Boy In Da Corner, as an East Londoner, it is the grime bible, it represents the equivalent of 0 AD in the regular bible 😂😂
He doesn't get the respect he deserve because of the commercial days but the man performed at the Olympic opening ceremony to 1 billion people. He's literally top 5 biggest music icons in UK history.
This guy is a complete legend all of his old stuff and his new stuff is amazing. How is he only 35 as well?
His first album was pure punk. He really had something to say and had a talent with how he said it. His performance at electric proms here on YT is really good.
I heard Boy in da Corner years ago and was hooked. Much respect to Dizzee Rascal..
A down to earth, humble, normal guy 👏🏻
Great interview. Love his open honesty.
Looking at his appearance, he's definitely looked after himself, most likely choosing in consuming healthy food!
Credit to him, didn't let substances, "party pills" alcohol, to take control of him!
Also, doesn't boast about money, no excessive jewelry, or expensive outfits.
Just a down to earth, level headed, motivated individual, who is focused on letting his craft do the talking!
What a KING, I'm glad he's coming back and venturing out with newer artists! Hope to see him do some garage stuff too possibly.
He went to the same secondary school...i went to.
I use to see him in play time & lunch time playing basketball with Isaac.
Yes i use to see him during lessons...going to my lessons in the corridors.
Fix up look sharp
For a sec I thought this was Masterclass
man shifted the culture. iconic. still remember sitting on the school bus- only black kid in lincolnshire listening to boy in da corner and thinking W T F
Boy In Da Corner is an important classic and had a massive impact on my generation
Gotta love playing some dizzee on a friday afternoon driving home from work 🔥🔥🔥👌
Heard he recently reached out to true geordie since their podcast didn’t go so well and now they’re calm again so big props to him for reaching out
I was so disappointed with that podcast man, dizzie just didn’t want to open up. It’s OK to not want to air everything but why go into a long format like that? I really felt for geordie!
@@nataliemayphotography fr he was so disrespectful to loz too
Dizzee's easily got some of my favourite lyrics. They ring so true.
🎵Hard back:
You need a hard back, stern face, play your position and know your place
Only move when the money's calling, take my advice you'll be ballin'
Don't go spending all your money 'til it's gone
'Cause the tax man's gonna want his paper when it's due
And there's nobody above the tax man especially you
And another thing, buy your house before you buy your car
Don't tell no-one where you are, even better if you're far
Everybody knows you're gangsta and that Porsche looks great
But do you really want it sitting on that council estate?
Differently, watch where you choose to socialise
Keep an eye out for trouble, watch for devils in disguise
🎵 You've Got The Dirtee Love:
Check it, yo, let me take you down to London city
Where the attitude's bad and the weather is
Everybody's on a paper chase, it's one big rat race
Everybody's got a screw face, so many two-face
Everybody wants to be famous
Nobody wants to be nameless, aimless
People act shameless, tryna live like entertainers
Want a fat crib with the acres
So they spend money that they ain't made yet
Got a Benz on tik that they ain't paid yet
Less sugar, more fruit. Less soda, more water. Less driving, more walking. Less worry, more sleep. Less words, more action.
Less posting, more self-reflection.
Well said yo
Fruit contains an enormous amount of sugar, just sayin.
@@Endeva09 its natural sugar and it's very good for u try eating at least 3 to 4 types of fruit a day
@@KD400_ ok lol but just so you know natural sugar is sugar
A true legend. People use that term all the time but that’s exactly what dizzee is
He's only 5 years older than me?! Wtf! He was doing stand up tall when I was like 14. That's insane.
I thought the same thing!!!! I thought he was much older as the album ‘Boy in the corner’ was legendary!!
Dizzee your a legend mate. Used to listen to some of your tunes to psyche up before football matches.
My drunk ass had no idea bonkers was about an anxiety attack. It seemed so apt at the time, along with Where’s Your Head at 🤣
Cant believe its nearly 20 years since boy in da corner came out time goes so fucking fast
Helped him move house once top bloke
Seriously? Nice
@@xTruncz yeah mate seriously I plastered his producers studio bloke called cage aka nick he had Newham generals in there when was doing it and bloke who was doing job for was a long time pal of cage and how I ended up helping move dizzie house I still got the signed stuff he gave me to this day dizzee is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met I thought he be well ghetto but was so the opposite
Read the comments and I don't see why no one knows bass line junkie that was what got me hooked into dizzee rascals music
Fix up pat sharp was more popular
Everybody knows it, that was after he got big.
This really spoke to me
This man released an album that is an icon for British Hip Hop & Grime at the age of 17... What an accomplishment.
What a humble and intelligent guy
No mention of Wiley in his come up but he can't erase it from the history!
He will always deny wiley after all thats happened. But the history is in the books and cant be erased
When he says 'BLESSED' at the end it was like a sample from his feature on Ocean Wizdom's track.
Met him at the 2012 Olympic ceremonies at rehearsals. He was a really cool guy, very humble.
I still wanna hear Dizzee when's he's 65 too 😁
I saw him live back in the maths and English era and he blew the roof off the place , so good.
Love dizzee
Dizzee Rascal started a movement in music, inspired millions of new artists
