The Northern Boys - Nobody Likes Me 

voice of a generation, but we're not sure which yet

Born too late to explore the planet, born too early to explore the universe, born at the right time to enjoy the northern boys.

This song being taken off Spotify is my villain origin story

"Special thanks to Paul for lending us his tripod" is too fucking funny to me

I thought I would only have to go through the horrors of social exclusion, mediocre drugs, and chronic masturbation once at the age of 16, but these weird grandad-teenagers are telling me, in the hardest possible rhymes, that it’s waiting for me again when I turn 60. I’m petrified but I can’t stop listening

First Norman said “consent” and then he said “trans rights”. What a legend

please can we enter this for eurovision omfg

I came here from a fan AMV of Chilchuck from Dungeon Meshi

I’m pleased The Northern Boys weren’t just 1 hit wonders 🫡

This got me so excited I'm going for a number 3

That transgender line is unironically more validating than anything I've heard before as a transman Edit: y'all are getting too worked up about a sex joke. Maybe you guys need some

Calvin Harris got too intimidated by the superior use of his beat and got this masterpiece taken off spotify

Kevin's dancing is almost too pure for this music lmao. Songs about drugs and death and self hatred and dude's just all smiles busting a move in what appears to be a lawn bowling garden 10/10

The skill and consistency of kev shouldn't be underplayed

Let's all take a moment to appreciate the solid nod to the crew at the end there. It's the behind-the-scenes help that really pulls these productions together. Paul and his tripod is the real MVP

"I play the horns, the horns of death. A girl said hi, now I'm obsessed. Stick it in the wank bank, back to the nest then it's candlelight lay back and caress." These lyrics melt my face.

Another banger from Norman and Patrick. And their mate Kevin STILL killing it with that step.

The thing people don't understand is that kevin's verse is all through non-verbal communication. Just astonishing.

Norman truly dives deep into the difficult and conflicting feelings one often feels towards an ex. The combination of latent love and newfound resentment can cause cognitive dissonance that is hard to deal with. He simultaneously wants the worst and best for his ex, offering a backrub in once sentence and threatening violence in the next. Truly, Norman Pain captures the struggles of a person who misses their ex, wants the best for her, and is still angry at her for hurting him (not that i would know).

My Spotify hasn't been the same since this got taken down

I've never wanted to respect my elders harder.

It’s probably been said, but Patrick is legit not only the hardest rapper of 2022 but one of the hardest rappers ever

The most trans-positive working class band in britain!

See id have more respect for the older generation if they all spit bars this hard

Norman really knows how to get that gargley grit into his voice. It's a very enviable rap style.

My favourite part of this is at 1:12, during the line, "Now I got a cat and his name is Patrick, PKJ got jealous and attacked it", PKJ is sitting in the background looking depressed.

Thanks again Paul for the tripod🙌🙌🙌

The gent in the suit just vibing and dancing is how I feel around my friends when it's their turn to vent and I want to be supportive

I'm getting married in a few weeks, what a treat to be able to play this for the guests! Cheers lads! Miami won't know what's hit it!!!

I smile every time I hear ''Big ol' balls they drag me down''

Why did this get taken off Spotify? Absolute banger

I cannot express how much I unironically love these guys' music 🤣

I'm waiting for the day that Kevin drops the filthiest bars that put Patrick and Norman to shame. Until that day, you guys are the best I've heard!

Jokes aside, Patrick genuinely has one of the hardest flows Ive heard in a while, plus hes got the voice for it.

The song isn’t available on Spotify or Apple Music anymore!

Listening here, 'cause the song isnt avaible on spotify anymore

This song actually goes so fucking hard. I can't believe a few old men from the North of England can rap better than most actual artists these days

We all appreciate each and every one of you….

Cant believe spotify removed this Banger

the day they took this off spotify i was devastated

"American Boy" was already an inspired choice of sample but holy shit "Acceptable In The 80s" might even surpass it

Kev absolutely ripping it up with those moves

I literally can’t get over the fact that their rhymes are so perfect. Like fuck. I WANT MORE!

Botchamania and Northern Boys. Name a more iconic duo.

This is comparable to the greatest classics, pure poetic perfection. "Do you want a backrub, do you want to die, do you want to catch up, do you want to cry, do you want a piece of the painful pie."

norman and patrick are gifts unto this world on their own, we don't deserve the combined package, every second brings such joy

i am so upset that this was taken off spotify today but at least there's a new release

I wish these guys were our Eurovision entry

1:00 possibly the realest bar of all time

I love how the Northern Boys, The Pete and Bas collabs, and the solo Norman Pain stuff are all completely different genres and vibes. The diversity in styles with Norman alone is crazy.

Nice to see the young folk are out there doing music.

this is one of those songs you play over and over again without realising

Lads your lyrics are the most heartfelt I've ever heard, beautiful stuff

"Do you want a slice of the Painful pie" is so fucking hard.

I hope I’m half as cool as the Northern Boys when I grow up.

Love the northern boys, and big thanks to Paul for the tripod

I think what I like best about this and Party Time is how it is such a stark contrast to how things are approached in other genres of modern music. Sex, drugs, and mental illness in modern stuff is equal parts lamented and glorified. Even when it goes bad, it turns into a mournful romanticisation with that "wilted flower" and "starving, misunderstood artist" appeal and aesthetic. The Northern Boys take it much, much farther. Everything sounds happy and upbeat, but there's very obvious anguish and despair in every word. It's not even ironic, it's just what it is. Every encounter and abuse of substances isn't even framed as real relief, it's just more pain, but a different sort. Every song is hilarious and honest, in content it's no different from other modern songs like it, but there's nothing to aspire to, so it's even better because there's no looking at it with rose colored glasses.

10 minutes since this was debuted, watched it 3 times....I don't understand how it can be so good

“Now I got a cat and his name is Patrick, PKJ got jealous and attacked it.” HOWLING 😭😭😭⚰️

PKJ is my favorite of the group his lines always make me laugh but Norman is wild 😂 he goes off every time

"Big old balls they drag me down" Never have I heard more wiser commentary on the current state of our world, congratulations Norman Pat and Kev on another beautiful track

I can’t stop playing party time. it’s such a good fkn tune and I would go nuts if I were able to see it live. I would leave the country to see live lol

Anyone else just going back and forth between this and Party Time on a 2 song loop for hours on end? Yeah? Thought so.

One of the greatest, funnest songs ever made. I’m OBSESSED. I wish it was back on Spotify 😭

Kev’s dancing hasn’t changed, yet it somehow feels even more magical now…

The northern boys are possibly the best rap group of all time

This would be my number 1 on spotify wrapped :(

Im so sad this got taken off spotify😭

Thank you boys 🏳️‍⚧️

I'm not joking when I say The Northern Boys are my new favorite musical group. How do you guys only have 2 golden bangers?

Pretty upset I can’t find this anywhere but here now.😫

Kevs the number one hype man. The mans got that special shuffle

My new favorite boy band

This is actually a banger. Shoutout to the best backup dancer of all time.

You know how every once in a while you stumble upon something that you just KNOW is special? This is how I feel after discovering The Northern Boys earlier this week. How incredible

I couldn’t imagine how y’all were gonna top “Party Time” and then you come out with this banger. Absolutely incredible, Snooker Team never disappoints

Found this song from the line about a trans man, what an absolute banger! Gonna have this in my head on repeat

so sad it's no longer on Spotify, used to play it on repeat

the beatles of this generation

I can feel my depression lifting with every ludicrously well-crafted bar. God Bless The Northern Boys et al

when you're happy you listen to the music. when you're emotional, you listen to the lyrics......

i'm obsessed with these dudes, literally everything they drop is a banger. norman's voice and flow are infectious, dude has such a unique sound

Why is this jot on Spotify? Absolute jam, you boys rule.

love the trans rep in this one, glad my favorite elderly british rappers support me

Honestly nice to know that despite being in terf island the northern boys are allies

Taking this off of spotify was a literal hatecrime😭

Thank you Botchamania

PKJ must be the coolest or the scariest neighbor to have judging by his lyrics.

The background story of the guy in the red jacket joining the group was just icing on the cake

I'm here because of Maffew, incredible song lads

Fuck Spotify for removing this

Not the sequel we deserved, but the sequel we needed. Outstanding stuff gents.

The most incredible British vibes on display here. Absolute banger.

My favorite part is the closing dance as the song ends featuring Kevin noticably keeping a 4 count to stay in time. What a legend. His soul is the rhythm.

The first line sets the standard and it remains absolutely consistent the whole way through.

Another absolute banger from these fine cultured gentlemen, thank you Paul for letting them use your tripod. On behalf of the world we thank you.

Their music fills the Pink Guy shaped hole in my life.

This song has been looping in my head for around a week now and I'm convinced it might be the only thing getting me through the day at this point

It's become unavailable on my Spotify!

This is potentially the greatest tune of all time
