@@bigmanmccheez5342agreed. I'm from Ottawa, Canada, and learned Gaeilge because my carpentry master and my gran were both Irish, but seeing people in my city/in Canada who never would've been exposed to Gaeilge learning to speak it, especially people outside the diaspora, is stellar to see, especially considering how hard the Brits tried to eradicate the language KNEECAP ABÚ
Have to say, I was NOT expecting this review in the first place, and I am pleasantly surprised by the rating!! If you’re ever ending up reviewing anything else of theirs, though, drop the “Gaelic” in “Irish Gaelic” or you will be getting the same complaint roughly 5 million times. (Don’t go for “Gaeilge,” you won’t be saying it right). You’re my new favourite yank!! GRMA

Something fun they do is mixing Irish and English in the same phrase to make rhymes come out better while preserving meaning. The drawback for international listeners is that no-one outside of Ireland will be able to understand what they're on about but I loved how they came out.
Literally 99% of Irish people can't understand them either. I speak some irish and struggle to. My mate is a gaeilgeoir, irish is his first language and he can't understand them either
Plenty of universities around the world offer courses and degrees in the Irish language. You'd be surprised by the number of people outside of Ireland who are able to speak Irish.
This album is Irelands Doggystyle. Yup I said it. The biggest achievement of this band is making Irish cool and promoting it as mainstream. The album is solid and most importantly uncompromising.
@@johnnyjr.b9015 Stupidest comment yet. To even compare Fine Art to Doggystyle shows you don’t even listen to Hip Hop. Stick with your Fake Fontaines DC. You’re better off there.
@@jasonh7740 I only speak a bit of Irish Gaelic, my first language is English Germanic. I was also good at French Romance in school but I went to Brussels recently and found I've forgotten most of it. Lol. (Also Welsh isn't Gaelic. It's Brythonic, which is the other branch of Insular Celtic languages. As is Breton, which is what I assume you meant by "French Gaelic")
@@seanodonoghue1830 "I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed" was his reaction... they are a band for children who unfortunately never heard anything good and for red-jeaned 55 year olds clutching a Tower Records tote bag roaring about how they're actually the new Clash.
@@murkartikWhile I can respect your opinion, they’re one of the better live acts that exist at the moment, and, while relatively monotonal in their music for their first couple of albums, have clearly shown progression with their new singles. Your cynicism seems exhausting, and you clearly are not the target market. Let people enjoy things!
The spoken word is by Machan Magan, a well known writer and Irish speaker, the wind instruments were by the boys themselves as they are well versed in Irish trad themselves.
I shattered my kneecap last year on June 15th. No joke. It sucked. Much better now. Life is a blessing, maybe i should check this record out. Only got now to do it.
Should've taken a trip to Belfast. The hospitals there are meant to be some of the best in the world for knee replacements and other knee surgeries, for morbid reasons
@@laylaruan I luckily live in a state with the best surgical care in the US. When I get to shattering the other one I’ll check out Belfast though. Mix it up a bit.
Omg as someone who’s from not far where they are from and watching them since 2019 it’s crazy to see how much success they’ve had in this year alone putting west belfast on the map 🇮🇪
I watched the movie Kneecap at Sundance and it was awesome! It made me deep dive into their music. I highly recommend checking them out, pretty cool group!
Didn’t deep dive far enough so. Almost none of what happened on screen was real. Half of it happened to other people. And their rise in popularity literally stems from removing another popular act from the spotlight.
Love that absolutely wild sample on I bhFiacha Linne, the original song (808 State - Cübik) is somehow even more bonkers as that disgusting loop is supported by guitar solos throughout the track, a true Acid House classic
It's also been used recently in Bob Vylan's track 'take that' which goes hard too! Didn't know the original until Fine Art came out and thought they were sampling Bob Vylan 😅
Irish Gaelic as opposed to Welsh or Scots Gaelic…? Gaeilge is our word for Irish, Gaelic is a word for Celtic languages. We’re not the only Celts in Europe.
Inter Arma review please! I don't know if you're still interested but the album came out a few weeks ago and they're one of my faves, I would love to hear your take on it.
Really enjoying this album. It is a lot of fun. Some clever and funny lyrics, with tonnes of energy. Reminds me a bit of early work from The Streets. Check it out!!
If it was called…you know what guys. I don’t think I can do this anymore. Everyday, we make the same jokes, the same stupid recycled comments. What happened to our creativity? Are you comfortable with such mediocrity? I no longer think I am. I must leave this place for good. Farewell.
I’ve only listened to Why Lawd once sofar, and while it’s good, I think Yes Lawd is the better album. More interesting and varied beats, more dynamic Paak. Could just be I need to give it another listen or two to get used to the new sound, but sofar I’m feeling like a 6 on it myself
@@Stu_Pickles Paak is at his most vulnerable (cuz of his recent divorce) in Why Lawd. While for you, Yes Lawd may have the better and interesting beats (I find them on par honestly), I find Why Lawd more emotional and impactful because of Paak's lyrics (Example of one of my favorites: "I guess I gotta face my fears, roll the windows down; I hope the rain hide my tears") and performance, and Knxwledge's beats serves Paak's writing with a very stripped down/minimalistic sound.
