Little Simz - Gorilla (Official Video) 

Right?!?!

She works with the best

dave meyers fool

Dave Meyers never disappoint

These bars are fire no matter what country you’re from 🎉. Straight fire 🔥

Everything!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

no truer words than these were said

Don't forget that 🔥ass accent, shit too hard

Favorite song in the albulm .... The video smashed my expectations ... It could be one of her best .... I felt some Tribe , some Skepta , some Kendrick and some missy ....

Honestly, sorry but, everything about this song is good.. but her. I'm just not feeling it. And the video would of been great if the talent were there.. but sense its not.. it feels like an American copy and paste without the Spark! Nothing original to see or hear here, on top of her lazy flow. Like this video could be great, muted. Maybe she should an actress... Her presence is the best thing about her.. 🤷🏾‍♀️

no it didnt

@@dub7088 your mum still doesnt love you big man

I agree, really amazing

Same here, this is refreshing af this shi is dope. She has mad bars and the best funky af. Prolly best thing I’ve heard in 2023

yes Damon! I struggled to explain how I felt about the "Old Head" connection to this track... But you already done it for me. So Thanks! Best Regards

Right?! I was getting total Missy Elliot vibes when she came in, but fresh and different...

cringe

Bruh literally first thing I said halfway through was that it sounds like a Tribe track. Absolute bangar. I'm shocked right now.

omg asstronaut in the oceannn

Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you through the Holy Spirit, not religion and blind faith. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, a perfect, sinless sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. It is all finished and now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again, know Jesus personally and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!

Fr tho

What are you talking about. This entire flow and video even this beginning line is stolen from Redman.

Fr bro not some ni ki minaj clones

this shit ass

she is your favorite rappers favorite rapper

​@@limbu.tbruhs sour as bad grapes in here

Zim zimmer?

I though the exact same, same video director for lose control, dave meyers and after the mac miller shoutout I can kind of hear his influence.

no one is guaranteed their next breath, let alone anything else.

Nothing is impossible make it happen 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Last 😮‍💨🖤

Facts

I GOT ACL TICKETS AND I'M DYING WITH TENSION... Naija artists are so talented man, I swear I'm up next

The guy falling in the background was kind of funny, didn’t expect that

@@Soklay16 scripted like every other scene

skateboard scene was also my favourite

I thought that was only possible in the video game Skate lol

​@@wingdingdmetrius8025 It looked like a real slam. The wheel falling off could be scripted tho. This has happened before to me but is pretty rare

Never made the connection, good point! Inspired by Missy or not, I can now see some of her in this. Let’s just be happy good music is still being created 😊

@@claudelk1719oh there’s a couple scenes that definitely are inspired

Rhapsody exists .....

​​@@King1Jizzel Real Talk! As does Tiye Phoenix, LinQue/Isis, and Sa-Roc🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

there are literally shirtless men and women in bras. not discrediting her but this comment isn’t accurate. also. stop shaming people who don’t dress conservatively.

@@lizanya6433 There are, but the CONTEXT (key word) in this video isn't one that is hypersexualized in nature as opposed to most mainstream music videos and performances. That is what KingKanja03 was getting at. . .The FOCUS of this and many of Little Simz's music and videos and films is the DEEP SKILL and ARTISTRY of what she presents to us rather than surface-level things. Peace.

@@cjsvoiceworks6008 the point is stop shaming people who do dress sexually. there is nothing wrong with that. you can uplift her without shaming other women.

Onb

Little simz as number 1 is crazy 💀

Best of the generation EASY! But Lauryn Hill best of all time

​@@tetso7036Too Early To Be The Best Artist Of This Generation. Also, Kendrick or Jid Is Better But It Is Your Opinion

@@tetso7036 wtf

It's coming!

Who cares? She already won Mercury Prize

I don't know, I hope so, although the grammys are below simz's level

WTF a Grammy. Stop waiting for these crazy Americans to validate greatness! You know they have their own agenda. In the UK we look for talent first then the rest follows.

Overdue!!!! Recognition on its way!!!

Listened to it so many times. No lazy work here.

the fact that anyone thinks that hip hop can die is fucking hilarious hahahahahahaha. its a culture with a flourishing music culture that has never been able to be silenced with people still innovating away from the mainstream

@@lowlowseesee Yes but I would say it is on LIFE SUPPORT and am thankful that the culture and MANY artists like, but not limited to LITTLE SIMZ are helping keep Hip-Hop's heart beating. Peace.

The perfect song!!

Incredible hip hop excellence...bars of brilliance and creative visuals... track of the year...Mad props to Simz... UKs finest...

yeah this is inspiration on many levels!! glad i found sima

Real

For me it's both avant-garde and a throwback at the same time. I love it.

Lots of homages to other rappers videos here, really well done.

I'm getting Jurassic 5 seeing as she used the same sample

she mentioned Tribe in her Genius video

@@jezo-matic991 yeah. Blacktop Beat.

Totally agree! Just came to the comments section to see this kind of comment 🤘😆🤘

Im getting goosebumps. ATCQ for realz, video is super stylin' Even with jazz beats could be ATCQ. Yup, this creative video is amaaaaazing!

what

Thank you so much for giving our RM a listen and talking about his song here. His name is RM (of BTS) and he just released an album of amazing sounds called Right Place, Wrong Person. One of the songs features Little Simz, an absolute banger called Domodachi, the reason why I came to stream her music because her verse on the song is pure fire. Please listen to the album if you're curious and wanna vibe to good music, thank you!

Same! Amazing artists!

Might just be me, but she reminds me of Lauryn Hill

and all mainstream male rappers are ‘deep’?

Yeah back when chicks wasn't rapping about farts 😂😂😂😂

@@sainttheresetaylor2054 read OP's comment again, slowly, til the end, then revisit what you responded lol

@@bosheepsheep Missy Elliot has been disgusting her whole career, and yet is one of the GOATs

💯

Visuals bring back memories of Missy videos

it sounds "old school" because it IS old (1998) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-axoRYjwLZp0.html

​@@jessbeezThinking the same thing. Her flow is Missy too!

"...something so old school but also so brand new" - apt description!

Give me prime busta vibes, not saying she's him...but the point of time when Busta was on top of the game. That's the feel she gives me with this song.

The beat is very Native Tongues/Tribe Called Quest sounding, so I can see that old school influence for sure.

Simz with rapsody doechii and tiera whack in a rap video would be a perfect combo too...

Oh my god, Sims and Misssy would be incredible.

Omgggg Little Simz with Missy Elliott would be a thrill

Little Simz and Ari would slap different

All iconic! If its Simz n a feminine energy, I'd like to hear her with Erykah Badu! That'd be jazzy beautiful vintage shit all day!

Nigerian you mean

​@@peaceloveandlight8431Lool don't be an idiot. Pedantic for no reason 😂

Same here and she laced it❤

@@peaceloveandlight8431sounds like she’s British to me

​@@peaceloveandlight8431This is UK rap bro. She was born and bred in London

근데 실력이 넘사다. 뮤비랑 그냥 애가 원곡임

Hadn't heard it, but def in the ancestry of the song. Pretty good hook on armadillo, if a bit lyrically flat.

Ant Banks for Too Short's, "Get In Where You Fit In". not sure if it is the original source though. but I know that badass groove anywhere

@@cym634think that’s the original but the sample for this is close to Jurassic 5s ‘concrete schoolyard.’ The final verses beat is pretty much the same as this

@@jbs2246 Jurassic 5- Blacktop Beat

The drums were recorded specifically for the track by Chris Daddy Dave, the ultimate drummer of nowadays

Absolutely magnificent

I’m here from RM’s track list 😅

Same!

always glad to see how great music can break barriers. welcome to the boat, friend!

she doesnt shake her ass nor does she dress like a stripper. and her lyrics are prolly too much to handle for the average rap fan nowadays... thats why. ist sad...

she doesn’t sexualise herself, thats why

Me too

Not to take away from Simz, but this has 90s written all over it, from the beat to the visuals. That's NOT a bad thing, though. It's just ironic when we call something recycled (and recycled WELL) "fresh." 😄They clearly did their homework!

is she? i found it quite boring. first minute was nice, and after that: same, same, same, effectively a copy from 90ties

@@mateuszzdyb3547 good for you?i guess

@@LadyAstarionAncuninNot entirely sure what 90s rap you are referring to? Have yet to hear anything from her discography that feels inspired by 90s rap.

That's a bit much my friend. Chill out.
