Top 20 in 30 countries with no major label backing him. Just take that in for a minute. Skepta is the one who will push grime to the world. Bigup for the interview.
Can we stop talking about Semtex and appreciate just how much of a down to earth, honest and good guy that Skepta is? He is actually trying to make a difference to the world and not just to put money in his wallet... upmost respect.
Right, found my motivation video for Monday, Well deserved. Only 2mins into it now and am glad that I have met both of them at various times in my career, this should be a wicked discussion, lets hear it.
+Alex Rolfe yeah I know lol, Ima be uploading a video in the next few hours on it, it would have been up a while ago but I keep getting copyright claims from the guy who does the beats, should be up soon though!
+King MG cool and novelist was talking about you on periscope, saying your reaching and trying to cause beef, but I enjoy your videos I like the stories so don't stop keep it up.
That's he best type of interview because if it's got that "flow" it's all about the same thing and it's boring. If they keep switching it up you want to keep watching

I used to think drake was catting London slang but it's not that. Specifically in Toronto, the blacks there are migrants form the carribbean/west Africa, so their slang has the same (predominantly) Jamaican origins as ours which is why they have the same words/phrases/structure that you typically hear in london. A lot of us Londoners are first/second generation migrants; i.e. our parents or grandparents were born in carribbean/africa so we are much closer to the culture, just like in Toronto It's different in America because most of the blacks there are from slaves and haven't got the same 'homeland' cultural definition as us and where they do it isn't as strong because they've been 'out of the loop' for a lot more generations
@@020701304 This is an old comment but I needed to respond.Many of you that are of carribean descendants and African in London and Canada yes may know your roots.But,Many black Americans have the same roots.In spite of not knowing precisely where our origins our we have managed to make a hell of an American culture for ourselves that is duplicated throughout the world.So,I wish many of you people of color from London and Canada stop trying to minimize who we are and what we have built for ourselves.While many of you know where you come from your presence in the countries that you are in and your strides can be seen as minimal compared to the accomplishments of the slaves that ended up in America.
@@Kim-427 I'd agree with most of that, I didn't mention it because it wasn't the focus of the point I was trying to make. the culture you have built is a result of what I was saying. I kind of disagree with your last point though, what do you mean by accomplishments? Caribbean diaspora have had similar influence on our respective countries as you have in your own
Semtex goes from starting off with a point for a question then asks something polar opposite at the end of the sentence. Big 1xtra though hopefully we collab on something one day
Lol it's funny in interviews like this with Skepta, he usually goes on about a deeper mission with the whole grime scene, pure ting. Interviewers be cutting him off after his rant and be like "so what's up with Drake" lool who cares about Drake, the mission is deeper right now
Great interview on Skepta's side. Semtex was the wrong person to interview him for this amount of time tho tbh. There were almost no counter responses to anything he said and all of the questions he asked him were really generic and off subject. "What do you think to the current state of UK hip hop/grime atm?" i bet his last 5 interviews didn't cover that, glad you asked him about that m8
