I know this Ninja Skepta didn't have the nerve to talk about Americans lacking culture because they don't travel, when you look towards America for culture. You don't have grime and drill without Black American hip hop! This dude walking around wearing Black American culture streetwear and street style that was not originated or started by Blacks in the UK, b/c you folks don't have one united culture to transport throughout the world and you lack creativity b/c you were never forced to create a culture of your own outside of what your parents gave you. Americans, specifically Black American descendants of slavery, innovate culture and create new cultures. Black Americans, the people you are imitating, Skepta, created and innovated our own culture under the pressure of having to develop an identity for ourselves given the circumstances of what happened to our ancestors in the USA. We don't follow different cultures! We are the culture! We are the innovators of NEW CULTURES. Meanwhile, in British land, you Black Brits are still having ethnic wars, ethnic divisions, and haven't created a new freestanding one united culture to bring any of you together at all. Taking on and imitating different cultures is not a flex that you think it is, and it is not something to brag about at all. Also, most of the people who go to your concerts in the USA are not Black Americans, you know, who are the originators of Hip Hop. You aren't even recognized by the Source Hip Hop Awards, MTV awards, or even the Grammys. You got lucky with a BET award. You Black Brits really need to stop throwing shade on Black Americans. It's ridiculous.
Furthermore, your American accents when you do put them on definitely sound forced and you all sound like you from New York. You can't do the intricacies and the varieties of American accents at all.
People from all the corners of the Earth live in the USA. They bring their culture with them. We have people from all continents who live in America. Also, we do have many Americans who travel outside of America. Skepta sounds like a complete clown for that comment. Disappointed with his ignorance about Americans.
I know this Ninja Skepta didn't have the nerve to open his mouth talking about how Americans aren't as cultured when that whole hip hop scene in the UK is rooted and based on American Hip Hop culture, specifically Black American Descendants of Slavery culture. You don't have Grime, Garage, or Drill without Hip Hop from Black Americans. Ninja, you didn't get that rhythm and cadence from no Jamaica or Africa. You didn't learn it from nobody in any other foreign country. You got the foundation of your music from Black folks in America and then added to that. I see Skepta wearing street styles influenced by Black American Descendants of Slavery/Freedmen/Soulaan culture! WTH is he talking about? Ya'll really need to stop that bullcrap in the UK always trying to throw shade at Americans.
Damn. Only ever so slighty too young but og grime beats were lo fi as fuck, i love it, clearly was born a few years too late. Big respect for the scene tho
The way Marcy Phonics gets repeatedly badded up at the end always messes me up lol. "DONT TRY AND HOG THE MIC CAUSE IF I GET MAD ILL HAVE TO DO STUFF" *gets mic ripped out of his hands* The violations were being handed out for free.
