Kano the UK Street Legend?? | Americans React to Kano 3 Wheel Ups feat. Wiley & Giggs 

Hey everyone, it looks like WMG had blocked this video when it first released. Please drop a comment saying what country you are watching from so we see if it's still being blocked! 🙏🍻

“I don’t wanna hear about cunch and food and tings, man don’t do those tings” Cunch is short for “country”, a reference to out of town trap houses and such. Food is drugs.

Loooved hearing this with you guys! Kano s one of the real OGs. 'Class of deja' with him and ghetts is unreal! That and 'This Is England' are both incredible.

Wiley not turning up for this vid and Kano cutting him out still makes me laugh. Peak Wiley behaviour, didn’t even show up to his own birthday party 😂

Honestly there’s a LOT of Wiley tunes you should check out. He’s called The Godfather of Grime for a reason. Best place to start would be Holy Grime, imo. That’ll introduce you to Devlin too, both legends.

A lot of people get called GOAT and OG but believe me, Kano IS. A legendary UK MC - definite master of the craft. Check out: Kano feat D Double E and Ghetts - Class of Deja live at BBC 1Xtra, and Kano’s Can’t Hold We Down, Teardrops, and Pan Fried next. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wiley is on the Album version, "me and wiley had a clash that's a real mc" that's one of the most famous old school UK clashes. Wiley and Kano were there at the beginning.

Honestly Kano is easily the hardest UK artist he's old skool and this track still runs goosebumps

The bar where Kano mentions Wiley, he says "me and Wiley had a clash, that's a real MC". Wiley and Kano clashed on Lord of The Mics, if you've not checked those out you need to! Proper Grime vibe with 2 mc's face to face going bar for bar

His album HOODIES ALL SUMMER is amazing. You do need to check the lyrics. And when your're ready, try CLASS OF DEJA LIVE AT MAIDA VALE with Ghetts and D Double E

A wheel up is where the dj spins it back and plays it again because it’s so dope. So ‘3 wheel ups in a row means I’m a direct rude boy’ means he’s the goat.

I love how you really need a translator for this, but can still appreciate how awesome Kano is

Kano fire in the booth the best , try wiley six in the blood clot morning

Ps & Q's Can't Hold We Down Class of Deja .....all fire songs by Kano

I love how hyped you are for this track despite mishearing every lyric and not understanding any of the slang or references even if you heard it correctly 😂 Saw Kano live on the tour he did for the album after this one and it was incredible. I'm sure you've had all the recommendations for Kano but a personal favourite is SYM live on Jools Holland

The album version has a verse from Wiley as well

Love Kano absolute quality! His Fire in the Booth is great. Also This is England, Ps and Qs and Trouble are worth checking out too… the beat from this is the second on Akala flows over in Pt4

Man, you guys were all over the place on this one but I appreciated the love for the levels Kano and Giggs brought to this 😅 Wiley’s verse is missing from the video version, but it starts the album version and makes the track even more fire. Lots of UK slang in this one, and Kano in particular is quite hard to catch all the bars on even for UK listeners, as he’s so techy with it. Worth taking the time to delve deeper into this one though, it’s a Grime classic, and Kano’s bars are maaaad - repeated listens and lessons in Uk slang a must 😅💥💥💥

Wiley is the founder of UK grime - he built a scene for UK young youth, from this people have the likes of Stormzy on their TVs and phones and platforms thanks to him. Grime was getting shut down back then as it was new and police were shutting it down, radio wasn’t playing them. So Wiley, dizzee, Kanos, ghetts, Skepta, chip, wretch, scorcher, JME, devlin broke them down and a few others like p money

the kilo bars is about drugs! if youve been shotting from way back when, and youaren’t on a kilo ting i don’t wanna hear about counts(country) and food(drugs) and tings man don’t do those tings

3 wheel ups casey... goddamit. not 3 wheels up. A wheel up is a rewind on a track.. you get 3 wheel ups cos your song is dope... meaning it gets played over and over and over. court knows.

i skanked to this live whilst a woman was on my shoulders, i acted like she wasn't there, my back was finished for a week lmao

Wiley and devlin “holy grime’ 🔥🔥🔥

I got a few recommendations for you. If you liked the energy of this then his big one that got him top tier is 'Kano... P's & Q's'. Then just cause its got the same big energy and literally anybody who matters from the OG grime scene..... 'Lethal Bizzle... 'Pow 2011'

This is Grime 💯🔥🔥🔥

"Hold tight D Double E that's a real OG" "Oh that must be Wiley" 🤣 Nahh, It's D Double E. A real OG.

You definitely need to be checking out some of the og’s of the uk scene. Wiley, D Double E, Ghetts, Kano, Giggs. Love your dedication to the uk scene!!

Kano is straight up old school g his fire in the booth is too much

Please react to Class of Déjà 💯Grime Kano, Ghetts, D double E.

3 UK legends. Wiley (Godfather of Grime) and Kano clash is a must see, raw foundation setting grime, historic moment. In the infamouse Jammers basement. Lyrics and flow at their peak.

food = drugs..as in people thinking he's a dealer irl but he isn't. he's in the series Top Boy where his character is a dealer.

Ocean Wisdom ft Dizzy Rascal Blessed,ocean wisdom walkin you will love the old school beat ,thumbs up as always

A someone from south London who isn't that much younger than Kano let me help fill you in on a few ltircs you missed or misunderstood. -He doesn't say tyrant rude boy, he says direct rude boy. - "Pop, pop, pop, that's a reload ting And when I say "it's Kano in the house" Everybody knows that's a reload ting" A reload in grime is when the DJ starts the track from the start because they crowd are loving it. It's just a way of letting the MC continue. Felt like you wouldn't know that but it's a Grime thing. -"If you've been shotting in the manor from way back when, And you ain't on a kilo ting, I don't wanna hear about cunch & food and tings, Man don't do those tings" Shotting is dr(u)g dealing. The Manor is back where you grew up. So if you STILL ain't on a Kilo ting (selling in kilos) since back in the Manor, Kano don't wanna hear about it. Food is another slang term for dr(u)gs, and going Cunch is going up country. Like Kano (Sully) does in Top Boy. Goes up country (cunch) to a small seaside town to sell without anyone knowing who you are/police suspicion. Basically, if you're not high up the chain and making moves, Kano doesn't want to acknoledge that talk from you. Basically, he's not involved, but especially not from someone who's been low level their whole life.

Really appreciate the love for Kano on this track, but man about 90% went right over your head haha 😄 Not your fault, its UK culture and slang that Americans arent going to get unless you immerse yourself for a while. Just a few things from the start of the video... He's saying "three wheels up in a row that makes me a direct rude boy". Wheel up, also called a reload or rewind, is when an MC hypes the crowd so much that the DJ rewinds the beat and the MC starts over. It was just a part of the club scene, getting reloads meant you're fire basically. Rude boy is Jamaican slang, basically saying he's a G. (There's a lot of afro-carribean slang in UK urban culture) Wiley is an MC known widely as the Godfather of Grime. He and Kano are two of the top OGs from those early days, and Wiley basically created the musical style he called Eskibeat which gave birth to Grime (his instrumental Eskimo is generally considered the first grime beat ever made). Wiley has a verse on the album version of this track, but he didn't show up to the music video shoot (classic Wiley haha) so they just cut his verse 😂 To explain all the lyrics would take forever. American/non UK listeners have such a hard time with Grime and UK rap music because it's SO heavy on British cultural references and the cultural influences from the different communities these artists come from, which brings it's own slang and references which are hard for outsiders to understand. If you persist then there's so much amazing lyricism coming from UK artists, but it's an endeavour for sure as a non-Brit. Your efforts are applauded nonetheless 👌😄

Clavish 4 of us is a sick tune Youngs teflon is someone you’ll like and tiny boost

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0iMU6qdQ3Eo.html live version.Full Brass band,must watch.

You need to react to sixty minutes live mistajam ghetts and friends also Kano has one too ❤

Kano - tear drops rated performance Kano ghetts back to back launch party Ghetts Kano Skepta - kiss 100 freestyle

Big fan of Kano since 2021, from Top Boy to his music, and everyone else. Giggs, Ghetts Wretch, D Double D, Scorcher. Look them up. You Tube, Google

"cunch and food and tings" refers to going out of London to sell drugs in rural areas

Gotta check out his fire in the booth. Kano - fire in the booth

Old skool Dons real UK music legends

Wiley is a UK grime artist (Grime is a part of UK hiphop) Goes by the name of Godfather of Grime. Definitely check out his stuff. His verse is on the album version of this track, who goes before Kano.

This is my favourite reaction from you guys! Back when you didn't know what to expect. Courts reaction is priceless! Even though in early days you only got 30% of references. You guys are best of the rest with reactions!

Kano fire in the booth 😮😮😮

Don’t necessarily have to react to it, but you gotta look up the version of this with Wiley, his verse was crazy but he didn’t show up for the video shoot.

Who’s Wiley fuck take it you know by now 😂

Also another thing to mention, when Kano mentions Wiley, he’s bigging him up, so react to Kano vs Wiley lord of the mics!!! Classic clash!

Garage Skank please. And Class of Deja.

Food is slang for brown or crack. You're way off with tyrent, he said Direct rude boi meaning direct connection. Wiley, is another OG in the grime game from the UK. These are the OGs of grime along with Devil Man, JME, Giggs etc etc etc. Check out the street or put UK old Skool grime. Will blow your head

Game over Tinchy Stryder with Giggs,Devlin,Example and Tinnie Temper and others

Kano Ps and Qs is a grime oldschool classic Plus check out Wiley (the godfather) try 'Wikedest MC alive or something, he's great. Loving the vids guys

Can’t believe ye covered this absolute banger. Damn this was a scene at the time. What a vibe.

We raps “geezers need excitement said skinner” Mike skinner is the front man of “the streets” well worth a listen for something different in British rap …. Check out his first album “original pirate material” from 2002 Ground breaking !!!!

I can say honestly being from manny weve got some of the hardest rappers in the game rn. dont believe me? Kobez Meekz Kdon Tunde Jlizz KenzoStr8Drop .... speaks for itself

Wiley is the godfather of Grime! He’s been grinding since day dot and mainly responsible for the wilder audience due to his work ethics. As great as he is, he can also be misunderstood, as shown through the media, which felt the need to humiliate this man, taint his name and make a mockery of his intelligence. I grew up on these type of artists, everyday, after sku channel U (if you know you know 😎) back in 06. Wiley, along with other OGs like D double E, Ghets, Big Narstie, all worked hard to put grime where it is today! Back in the day this genre ‘grime’ was considered ‘ghetto music’ as in lower social class, peoples music! Look where we are today 💥💥💥🙌🏾🙌🏾

Please react to another Kano song P’s & Q’s… a CLASSIC Then you need to review Giggs.. Talkin the hardest and Pain is the essence (the 2007 one)

KANO - FIRE IN THE BOOTH ONE OF THE BEST AND SLEPT ON FOR SURE

Good job u no wat i want snap Capone behind bars,,,, K Koke generals corner,,,low-key the waring chipmunk diss

"Everybody knows that's a reload ting(reloading the record but also reloading drugs) If you've been shotting(selling hard drugs) in the manor(the block) from way back when And you ain't on a kilo ting I don't wanna hear about crunchin food (selling hard drugs) and tings Man don't do those tings"

i thought u spoke english,u really don't get it,innit!!!tyrant????country,food!!!!hes not talking about the countryside n gourmett food!!! step up

swifta 0121 birmingham

Would love to see Kano and ghetts class of deja. The way they bounce off each other is incredible. Kano’s FITB too is a classic

3:06 He's talking about "If you've been selling drugs since back in the day in the hood and you still can't move a kilo until now I'm not impressed. I don't wanna hear about "cunch" (short for country or these days people say county lines, meaning going outside of the city to set up drug deals) food=drugs, and tings" basically saying he's above any of this dumb drug dealer talk.

Can’t believe you never reviewed Kano ft papcann can’t hold me down…. 😮 Another banger as well 💯💯🔥🔥

Totally different vibe but I'd love wit watch you guys react to The Streets / Mike Skinner. His flow and lyrics are like no other.

Hurry up and do “Kano’s 60 minutes take over” ! BBC!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kano ft ghetto ( aka Ghetts) ' a huntin we will go ' ...I think there's only an audio version Teardrops ...uffff

Pussy and rum thats a rider for real OG's! How they skipped over that as an opening bar...smh

Country and food, he’s on about the county lines gangs selling hard drugs (white and dark) and country means out of the city, (countryside) but it’s normally towns

Snap Capone has some great tunes 3style 2023 is sick Khalas is sick Nippsey freestyle

2:08 Y'all should check out "Numbers in Action" by Wiley!

I never comment on vids but i appreciate how attentive you are to bars. Keep the Kano and UK reaction s coming 🔥🔥 A lot of his stuff is hard to clear so I recommend live performances -Fire in the booth (a must watch after Wretch32 and Avelino's FITB) - Trouble - Teardrops (Rated Awards) - SYM live on Jools Holland (really great track) - Class of Deja ft Ghetts and D Double E

I’m from uk 🇬🇧 and live 40 mins from wher Kano is from and this dude is one of the best rapper’s around go check his song p’s & q’s it was his first release and it’s fire 🔥

A lot to unpack here, style a beat, lyrics etc your going down a whole different music ting, and for the better, welcome to the uk, welcome to grime, welcome to KANO, goat level mc, actor, get to know

Counch and food ting - He's talking about when people leave the city and go to smaller towns in "Countryside" to work for a group and sell hard "food" like heroin or crack. people go do it for a month or two to get quick cash and then come back to the ends. it was risky though but If you where broke and needed the money you could go do that.

react to yb genie

Please listen to K Koke fire in the booth!

essential Kano tracks: class of deja, garageskank, can't hold we down, Pan-fried, teardrops, this is England, P's and Q's - thats a good start anyway

Love for doing this.. always great to see Americans react to gigs and kano

Wiley is the godfather of grime 🙏🏼🔥

You need to check out kano’s beats and bars mixtape. It’s a stone cold banger. Every single track.

all song on kano's album made in the manor are reeally good defo worth a listen

Think you'll like Kano - Teardrops from the rated awards also T-shirt weather in the Manor off Made in the Manor album. Kano is top 3 and he ain't 3 😉

Also wiley isnt in this video but hes a grime scene OG bin settin pace for years hes a pioneer to what uk rap is today and came from the gutter respect to everyman comin up and turnin nutn to suttn big ups from manny mcr 0161 bizniz always

Try reacting with lyrics in front of you, it would really help with words lost in translation

Bros you wanna see a lit live show with these guys to get an insight , please watch giggs wamp 2 dem kano 3 wheel ups and dave peligro . Trust me. .keep up the good work. But don't forget to check out some of the oldskool . #throwbacktothefuture

Also Recoment listening to Two-Face Mad about bars

The conscience food bar is actually Cunch and food, because young kids go out to other county’s to small towns from City’s to sell drugs, and it’s slang for Country, as in the countryside

Wiley is the godfather of grime if it wasn’t for him it wouldn’t be like this pioneer

Get on lethal bizzle pow 2004! Its a classic Theres 2011 but 2004s the one for me

Shotting =dealing drugs. Food =Drugs, Kilo Ting =Dealing Kilos

Onside/ offside is a reference to the beautiful game. Football. So another postcode is offside

Shotting is dealing, he aint talking about drinking 😂😂 cunch and food, cunch means countryside and food is drugs, hes saying he dont wanna hear about how you went out of the city to deal drugs

3:40 he said "cunch and food n ting" cunch is "country" which is slang for selling drugs in a different area than you're from normally in the smaller areas in the UK, and food is just drugs

If you haven't heard kanos p's and q's track it was one of his first major hits should check it out throwback lol

His fire in the booth is legendary

Check kano's Fire in the booth P's and Q's Can't hold we down And garageskank
