If my memory is right, there was nothing else like it around at the time, certainly not mainstream. He was the figurehead for the early 2000's "chav" youth culture way before the mainstream even knew what a chav was. His music was relatable to any teenage lad from the council estates or suburbs who liked to blaze or get laggin. That album, a grand dont come for free, was like an hour long story...really original idea. He didnt try and be anything he wasnt, i always respect that in any artist. I remember him headlining with lilly allen at glastonbury wishing i was there. Top lad and i'd like to see more of him.
Get to a live show mate. They're fucking great. First english accent I heard rapping on a mainstream song - other garage artists had american accents. It's a shame he's been labelled with the chav moniker throughout his career...tough to shake off.
I love Birmingham! I grew up here for almost 8 years. Came from Poland when I was a kid, and now I'm almost an adult. I enbrace the culture, I've been hanging out with the blacks and Asian bros Mainly. They treated me like one of their own. This is the beauty of my city. Birmingham is my city! We all live through struggle here. We are all a minority in a way, and yet we are amazing and special just the way we are. Way more unified and respectful towards each other than London.
I'm from NYC and I'm a big fan of The Streets. That's how I was introduced to Mike Skinner the artist. I had a co-worker many years ago who's from Ireland, and he introduced me to "Original Pirate Material". Now I have all of The Streets releases, except for "Cyberspace and Reds" and "None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive".
rah no sox? swear he was the first grime person from jaykae and dapz wave who was getting noticed in london due to jammers cosign. and one of the hardest flows in the scene
chacba frank yeah of course but this doc is about the current wave that are getting real success now and sox was the first one out of them to start ringing bells in london
My first experience of brum rap was the film 1day. Respect to the scene they got going on. Jaykae blew up and of course they gave us the king of brum Sir Mike Skinner. Respectto 0121 keep doing your thing.
As a frenchman it feels like the "story" of the rising of the Bermingham HipHop scene it's quite similar to the Marseille one in the late 90's, a big multicultural city with people with a strong accent in it, its own vibe and proper identity, but they manage to create their own sound and reach bigger audience, and when you listen to it you know where it's from totally different from what Parisien people produce
Very different. The things IAM and 3eme oueil etc have done is legendary. Hiphop in France was very new. Marseille was truly a ghetto in certain places. Also the Marseille accent is beautiful. And it was a movement and birthed classic insanely deep and artful pieces of art like Demain c'est loin (the video alone is a piece of art) ne sous la meme etoile and them fOnky family came with 'cherche pas a comprendre'. Come on man..this brum ish is ok..but it doesnt come close to the legendary work and struggle of rap in Marseille. And im from amsterdam..have a lot of fam in france tho. Peace
quality documentary... love Birmingham. Miss the days of hunting dnb vinyl down at custard factory. legit uk love to the West Midlands from down 'ere in Portsmouth.
Mad respect to lady leshurr I remember watching her vlogs back in the day just casually singing on TH-cam in her bedroom...mad how far she's come. Real icon for women in the rap game
So much love for this documentary, NOISEY always comes through with them FIRE documentaries! So much love for Jaykay, Sox, Devilman, Mist and other... Devlin is FLIPPING unreal!! Devilman is deffo my favourite Mc from Brum! SOME MAN, FOR ONE MAN, MUCH LOVE DEVILMAN!! Wunsen!
@@allenja8 america started it so pay homage, if it wasn't for them you wouldn't have british plus old school yanks didn't mumble just the new cats, but uk got too many that got no talent just talking on the mic....no lyrical content or real meaning, few good ones I admit but only a few🤔
I lived in London lived in Leeds, Sheffield and Leicester. But born and Grow in Birmingham and I feel at home always will be a Brummie and to see the talent in all fields of the Arts is crazy and im loving it. Big shout out to Mist my Cuz Mist may your light keep shining bright. keep pushing to be heard
I AM BIRMINGHAM! I first met Mike when he was 16, doing work experience at the Women's Hospital. Never imagined he'd go on do what he has 😂 Birmingham is packed full of talent and has been overlooked for way too long. It's a beautiful thing watching these artists come up!
Proud Brummie here, this is such a sick documentary, I remember bumping into Lady Leshurr a few times when I was younger. Crazy how much has changed! about time someone shed light on it.
I’m not from England nor even the UK (USA) but The Streets were a big part of growing up in the 2000s for me. I was lucky to be up late one night and saw Let’s Push Things Forward on MTV and never saw it again on the music video blocks (only way to see music videos before the internet). Glad I came across it, Mike Skinner is a legend.
Nah they kept the doors open as they knew the bagheads would smash the door in and rob the telly so rather than have to buy a new door and telly they would rather jus have to buy a new telly
I’d say it’s more like a New Jersey accent. Kentucky accent would be more like the West Country or Cornish accent since it’s more rural and country farmer like.
Thank God for Mike Skinner. If not for him, especially the masterpiece that was/is Original Pirate Material, I never would have learned about all the amazing hip hop from the UK, back then and up to now and I'm so glad I discovered it all those years ago. I LOVE Hip Hop, in all its forms. It's so amazing to see how much influence it's had on the entire world.
I remember when Mist first dropped his freestyles.. All the P110s 🙏💯 I knew he was gonna blow up instantly & him having a bike life backround took me back home because I grew up in the bronx & new jersey around the same kinda shit.
Much love from L.A. bruh and what you guys have accomplished its time to come to america at first it might not catch on but once you do bruh you'll be fucking fire itself bruh trust me
Skinner was the right choice to have host this. Being credited as one of the OG's of grime, he's seen and heard every iteration of the genre. The Streets is probably my all time favorite artist, I've followed the man from the beginnings and can't believe I haven't seen this until now. Big ups from the US too by the way.
what a great documentary highlighting the good to come from grime and rap rather then the negativity that usually surrounds it 100% the Brum artists have got the attention and respect in London and worldwide they deserve
JayoGotBeats lmao bro in the early 2000s? We been doing this shit big since the 80s fam. AMERICAN black people started this shit. Everybody else just following famo period.
dskillz32 clearly missed my point, ofc i know that americans made rap wtf, we respect ya’ll for that. My point is that were not NEW to this as in, its been around for time over here. Not like recent years, i meant its been around here for a while rap music, not that we made it over here in the early 80s. Read it first before u comment g
JayoGotBeats NO, you clearly didnt understand my original point, which was that you guys being Relatively new to hip hop on the general timeline of its origin, couldnt be 'helping to take hip hop global" as proclaimed in the original comment. It was global before anyone in this video or the "early 2000s" made any impact. American rappers from the 80s and forward were already doing international shows. So how could anyone later on be helping to do something that had already been done? That was my point. Like i said before, yall new to this shit. Try reading for comprehension next time my guy, appreciate the effort tho.
Pretty disappointed that Sox wasn't featured in this. He was one of the first grime artists i listened to from brum. His grimeblog freestyles will always be legendary imo.
Cold like Moscow!!!!!....Thought u were Bad Bruv!!!...You ain't Mad like Jigsaw Ha!!! Ha!!!!....Banging lyrics!!!Jaykae..We need more Music from Mike Skinner also...!.Streets.
john sam have you watched the video? Do the people sound like there speaking slow to you? I’m from Birmingham and we speak notoriously fast. The only reason people think Brummies speak slow is because of Ozzy Osbourne, he spoke slowly from amount of drugs my man had back in the day.
Props to Mike Skinner for doing this... He's got some of these people on his new album, too. I remember when Original Pirate Material came out and he got some hate from the Birmingham scene he left behind. In many ways, he opened a lot of doors though.... I remember saying to some of those people on line to take it by the horns, then. It took some time.
Now let's get this straight, iam not exactly a young man anymore, however i was born and raised in Brum and miss her so bad at times. Still keep a finger on what's up..so from this old Brummie my kids downloaded, in support of these young musicians, some of their tunes, so y'all now on the Texas/ Mexican border and they love it. God Bless youngsters, and Mike ya still wrinkle free for a timer like me, all the best, continued success.
@@DO-mw6ju no , because the USA is what all areas tried go copy in 80s and 90s, people should be rapping about there own ends, like the Yanks do. Back in day you had English rappers talking American and making videos with American back ground , not real. All about accents no matter where you from
WEST MIDZ!!!! Been waiting on this for time man. The industry need to put respek on the West Mids. Grime would never had re-surged and therefor be where it is right now without brum emcees.
Form stay fresh are wolves not just brum g an I don’t even think they spit together anymore. J1 got 20+ years. Saf is on his madone ting and macca is probably signing on😂
We all sound different though , people from outsider of Birmingham think that there’s only ones brummie accent . Good to hear someone say something nice rather than saying they can’t understand it :)
WOW - Kingshurst Yoof Club!! I used to trip in there on a Thursday night 6 - 9pm - then walk back to Chelmsley Wood with 3/4 dudes tripping ballz!! Sneaking back into Mums house at 6am when she got up to go work!! 1990's acid days!
The thing about Doing It Stealthy by Oloff is that you can listen to it over and over and over again and it just doesn't get boring. It's like the sound of a baby shrieking in agony!
I love this video. This is me. This is my music, This is my life. This is my home town. Watch out for me too yo!!! Can you believe I started off with Mike Skinner in his bedroom in West Heath... ?

Agree he's a legend. It's sad that alot of yutes nowadays probably never heard of him
He helped kickstart a lot of this off - so nice to see it coming full circle. Also, he's perfect for TV....keep the docs coming

Respect from Manchester... similar struggles, similar multicultural environments, similar working class roots. Big up Brum town
32cityman all true except Manchesters been propped up by the government and the media more in the last 20 years in terms of funding and exposure
Manchester is half the size of Birmingham
Birmingham is a shithole grey and depressing. Segregated racist city areas are divided .
Brothas from Canada and the UK act and talk so white
@@roejogan1341 and...?
Jaykae has to be one of the most genuine people I’ve ever heard. He clearly doesn’t shy away from being himself at all
I love Birmingham! I grew up here for almost 8 years. Came from Poland when I was a kid, and now I'm almost an adult. I enbrace the culture, I've been hanging out with the blacks and Asian bros Mainly. They treated me like one of their own. This is the beauty of my city. Birmingham is my city!

Way more unified and respectful towards each other than London.

Take it easy, kid. You'll have me tearing up. As a fellow Brummie, I really enjoyed reading your words. Thanks.

mike skinner is an undisputed icon
FlowLDN TV he’s in the streets
The Streets
FlowLDN TV his first album caught a moment in time. Collabs, signed The Mitchell Brothers. Produces, writes...
Mike skinner is a joke, I saw him getting knocked out when I was a kid because he tried to take a guys phone
Underrated and opened so many doors for the scene
Mike Skinner is a legend these younger man need to realise that
Mike skinner and the streets were fucking legendary... They played a massive part in putting Brum on the map musically.
My first experience of brum rap was the film 1day. Respect to the scene they got going on. Jaykae blew up and of course they gave us the king of brum Sir Mike Skinner. Respectto 0121 keep doing your thing.
1 Day was legit a good film for it's budget and shit.
The Jonin Cactuar It was unique.
Penny Woolcock the director of one day helped the scene alot with that film
Im happy Brum is being put on the map properly and I'm living in Africa! Huge fan of Brum artists! One love

Bigups to everyone at noisey for this! People needed an insight to the realness of Birmingham music and this hit the nail on the head
Loved this, the only thing they missed was about the man presenting it, he didn’t only open the door for Birmingham but the entire scene!
Thinking the exact same thing.
Yes.
So much love for this documentary, NOISEY always comes through with them FIRE documentaries! So much love for Jaykay, Sox, Devilman, Mist and other... Devlin is FLIPPING unreal!! Devilman is deffo my favourite Mc from Brum! SOME MAN, FOR ONE MAN, MUCH LOVE DEVILMAN!! Wunsen!

Thats good
Real talk, this is why UK rap is blowing up, America is tuning in cause fuck mumble "rap".

Mist - “You know them areas where you can keep your front door open” That’s definitely not what Erdington is like 😂😂😂
Thats what i've thought hahaha
not any more anyway lol, u couldent leave ur door open anywhere in brum dont matter who u are, too many fiends, lol
Or Lozells, you keep the door nailed shut.
Nah they kept the doors open as they knew the bagheads would smash the door in and rob the telly so rather than have to buy a new door and telly they would rather jus have to buy a new telly
Im not form a English speaking country, but i understand english perfectly and i get the Birmingham accent more than the London one.

Budda Bless who was also from midlands lol
I'm from California, a Birmingham accent must be how we feel about a Kentucky accent here in the states hmmmmmm
🤣🤣🤣 facts
it really isnt that bad. It's only bad if u have a really strong accent
Wow that's kind of an obnoxious statement. When Californians are moving to states like that in droves because they can't afford California. 🤦🏾♀️
amixsings shut up Devilmans sick
I’d say it’s more like a New Jersey accent. Kentucky accent would be more like the West Country or Cornish accent since it’s more rural and country farmer like.

The streets 1st album was unbelievable! One of my favourite albums of all time.
Yeah man 😎
Skinner was the right choice to have host this. Being credited as one of the OG's of grime, he's seen and heard every iteration of the genre. The Streets is probably my all time favorite artist, I've followed the man from the beginnings and can't believe I haven't seen this until now. Big ups from the US too by the way.
what a great documentary highlighting the good to come from grime and rap rather then the negativity that usually surrounds it 100% the Brum artists have got the attention and respect in London and worldwide they deserve
The amount of times Jaykae said bruv LOOL
Devilman should have featured, respect to Mike Skinner on the interview.
watching this from Cali, so interesting to see these diff music scenes across the world
As a Birmingham City fan, having jaykae rep us on every music video is so good tbh. Feel so proud watching this video as a brummie
"I go for a swim every morning and then come home to listen to Jeremy Kyle"

That Lady Leshurr song in the beginning slaps. I heard that playing at a club over here in Oakland a few years ago.

I'm curious why people slander the Brummie accent. It just sounds normal to me
john sam have you watched the video? Do the people sound like there speaking slow to you? I’m from Birmingham and we speak notoriously fast. The only reason people think Brummies speak slow is because of Ozzy Osbourne, he spoke slowly from amount of drugs my man had back in the day.
Stefano Malinverno not normal but it’s definitely not horrible
They're sheeple
All of them are sheeps
RealHonest 24/7 slow not as in slow in speech, you can talk as fadlst as you like, but your accent is slow because you're slow in the head bab!
Props to Mike Skinner for doing this... He's got some of these people on his new album, too.

Fantastic film! Was in Brum late 80s for uni. Great people. Terrible ring roads.
Enjoyed that. Big up Brum from 0151
I feel this documentary, focused more on the Birmingham accent than the actual music 😂
i didnt take that from it , also its a big thing for people to get their ear around
Because they fully copy London the only difference is the accent
@@DO-mw6ju thats a bit like saying the UK fully copies America , the only difference is the Accent .... but i know what you mean
@@DO-mw6ju how? we are like 2 hours away from london we aint that different anyways lmfao
@@DO-mw6ju no , because the USA is what all areas tried go copy in 80s and 90s, people should be rapping about there own ends, like the Yanks do.
Back in day you had English rappers talking American and making videos with American back ground , not real. All about accents no matter where you from
So proud to be from Birmingham 🙌🏼🙌🏼
randombabe99 big up! 🤛🏻
This is dope. Its actually easier for me as an American to understand the Brummie accent and the rappers seem more down to earth. More Power to em.
WEST MIDZ!!!! Been waiting on this for time man.
The industry need to put respek on the West Mids. Grime would never had re-surged and therefor be where it is right now without brum emcees.
Where's Sox, Devilman , Trilla , Stay fresh.
Form stay fresh are wolves not just brum g an I don’t even think they spit together anymore. J1 got 20+ years. Saf is on his madone ting and macca is probably signing on😂
Most stay fresh aint brum

Nothing but devils imposing the law. Paedos will serve 6 years.
I like the Birmingham accent anyone else 😂
We all sound different though , people from outsider of Birmingham think that there’s only ones brummie accent . Good to hear someone say something nice rather than saying they can’t understand it :)

The thing about Doing It Stealthy by Oloff is that you can listen to it over and over and over again and it just doesn't get boring. It's like the sound of a baby shrieking in agony!
Very very sick! Inspirational aswell hugely
Why does every comment section for every video ever turn in to a UK vs US debate. KMT 😤
cause some people care too much about what americans got to say
And because their small-minded and actually let an accent get to them.
Cos yanks are dickheads!
20:10 Mist a legend with the yank accent
Great watch.
Dapz on the map has just gained a new fan , well done Noisey 👏🏾
