The Streets - Blinded By The Light | HARLEM NEW YORKER (INTERNATIONAL FERG) REACTION 

Does this song remind you of Kidulthood? How does it make you feel?

Mike skinner is a legend too me, top 10 mc’s. The streets are massive and have loads of classic albums

The streets were huge in the UK and this song especially! Mike Skinner was a genius when he came out. Nothing like it at the time

Bro, this album's got to be done all together. The songs are good on their own, as a unit it's an absolute masterpiece.

you gotta react to more of the streets. they’re essential the streets - could well be in the streets - don’t mug yourself the streets - has it come to this? the streets - prangin out (mc’s mix)

"has a rapper got on this beat" lol no respect for the Skinner .

I love The Streets, Mike Skinner is a legend and his music is very different and abit weird but his albums are like stories

The streets were a massive part of the dance/garage Seen he’s a real story teller no bull shit just real life

The Streets are great , that whole album “ A grand don’t come for free “ is a story that runs thru from the first track to the last , it’s amazing . Well worth a listen even in ur own time ...Mike Skinner is a genius 🔥🔥

I like this song, and most of the song off that album. 'Has is it come to this' is my favorite of his.

Man, early 2000’s I found this shit and was blown away. Thanks for bringing me back.

The whole album A Grand don’t come for free was one whole story and it is so amazing. One of the songs Dry your eyes is one of the most honest songs I’ve ever heard.

FERG: has any rapper got on this? MIKE SKINNER: *single tear runs down cheek*

British Weather, British Food and British Women made British Men the greatest sailors in history

So this comes from a Concept Album, and it’s an amazing story from first track to last. I highly recommend checking it full listen.

One of my favorite hip hop artists of all time. I enjoyed your reaction video. I was lucky enough to see The Streets live in Chicago back in the early 2000's, amazing performance.

Quality reactions. Loving it as a UK man. Glad I found you.

got to love streets stories at the best old school

Yooooo...I haven't heard this for time!! What a tune, hits on different levels...used to listen to this when I came home high and drunk af and fall asleep to it!!! I was already subscribed before this but would have subscribed just FOR this!! 👍👊✌❤

Wow this takes me back the streets are a different class!

Mike Skinner/The Streets is without a doubt a legend. Most people do find his style of rapping bad at first but there's something about him where his style just grows on you, in particular the theme of alot of his songs, he has an ability to paint a picture of what he's saying. That along side his style of off beat production, it shouldn't work but it does on so many levels!

Mike Skinner is a legend , done early tracks with a load of Grime MCs - Pranging out MC mic - Nite Nite - Kano ft Streets - Mitchell Brothers , Kano and the Streets - Routine Check

great vid man

Dope !! Been a fan of his foe years!!

The Mitchell Brothers did a remix of this on a mixtape they released back in the day. Absolute Iconic Song this is, I was about 18 when this came out, peak times

A grand don't come free one of the best albums I've listioned to bk in the day♥️💗👌👌👌

The song playing in the background at the beginning of the video is 'Routine Check' by The Mitchell Brothers feat. Kano. A great song that I've not seen anyone react to yet & The Mitchell Bros are slept on hard, they were signed to Mike Skinner (The Streets) label & released 2 albums. Check out their first 'A Breath of Fresh Attire'.

This song makes me wanna get on it mate 👌

Sick channel you really get uk culture

That album is still his best work. Love how the songs are all tied together and reference each other and tells an over-arching story. His girlfriend is sleeping with his friend. He thinks it is the Molly messing with him when he sees her kissing his friend. Other songs on the album deal with him figuring it out and dealing with his friend stabbing him in the back.

Song 🔥🔥🔥 This video always pranged me out, thought it should of been in a actual club pumping! 😂 Reaction 🔥

Song is so Iconic man, would love to see any big artist rework it or sample the beat.

This is a real classic.. it was huge

this song defo sounds better drunk and full off extacy 😂😂😂

Still love this tune🙌 big time memories

Its not for everybody but he caught a very particular group of people in a particular time. It was real and it hit hard. Makes me feel young again.

This song is deep it’s a reflection of youth looking for something in life

Great track!!

crazy cause i'm from Belize and Kidulthood was my first introduction to London culture as well. looked up The Streets just like you bc that scene in the film had big effect on me same way

This track is dope as f man…..one of my favourite tunes ever…..this was a HUGE track in the UK when it came out man……resonates with so many peoples lives/experiences in clubs in the UK man

Sorry, but this does not need an 'Artist' / rapper to cover this beat. This version is perfect thank you.

I've witnessed many wedding party's just like this.

It's best to listen to the whole album. It tells the story of a bloke who loses a grand, meets a las l, gets bored of her, goes on holiday has an affair, comes home, gets mashed in a club whilst his las cops off with his mate, misses breaks up with him and it ducks him up. His loses his mates and his TV breaks. He sits down and has a can of special and realises if he wasn't a twat his day would better. Through some magic time get redone and he realises if he is fair with his mates he'll keep them. Also if he doesn't lose his shit with the TV man, the TV man tells him that an envelope with a grand has fallen with his TV. Essentially his misses has left him but at least hes found his grand so sweet. Theres also a bit about betting and forgetting to fill in the form correctly and nearly losing money ... But yeah listen to the album it's pretty good story

" ever see that one movie kids " quote Dr Dre

The streets are massive in the UK mainly earlly 2000's but this is the roots of London rap for me just a whole different vibe with it, late night chill music man

grew up on this, reminds me of my party years, south london best night out.

This was a massive tune over here. I think I was about 10 or 11 when this album came out and my parents played it to death, specially this tune got played on mtv through the night years after it came out. Still a classic album!

Ilove this song. listened to it on my discman for long dark nightwalks in the norwegian forests. The streets are good for that.

This song was THE song of my year at 09/20 when I was constantly chewing my eyebrows off, incredible memories

Who’s gonna tell this dude about The Prodigy’s Smack my B Up if he thinks this vid is shocking 😂

I loved this song and still love it!

Makes me feel like its 1999 again goin out off my barnet this tune made me rush when i heard it drop at creamfields ammmmazing times !!!

A grand don't come for free is one of the most well put together albums of the last twenty years. A great story.

Mike is spitting on it 🎉🎉 it's a masterpiece I love the song 🤜🤛

He’s captured the exact experience of a stag/wedding night in the UK mid 2000s

Its a great track, i can just picture it in my head, its part of a concept album and its actually set in the nightclub not a wedding, music clip is recorded at the wedding, not sure why.

Yeeeeesssss

Hell yeah, I heard this song from Kidulthood as well. The song Katie plays before she hangs herself is also by The Streets. It’s called Stay Positive. Great tune.

The streets - dry your eyes mate ,,, the most popular song he did

Loved the album , its a story from start to finish.

The Streets still going ❤❤❤

The streets are huge. This one for the sesh and ‘dry your eyes’ for when ya girl dumps you

He's new record just came out and it's got some gems

in the states "original Pirate Material" was on the radio a bunch

The album is a whole story - loved it.

Used to play this when I was at school. Real deep track.

tbf this is a an absolute banger in the whip the beat goes hard

You should totally react to Kano ft. The Streets - nite nite Kano has also been on at least two the Streets remixes, "fit but you know it" and "get out of My House". He has also covered "has it come to this" and on top of that they featured together in other artists songs like the Mitchell brothers

The streets - everything is borrowed .. banging tune

This is a classic

It was such a big tune. It was out wen i was 18 n had my first house used to take tons of pills to it

I think it is best to listen to this song with no video as I think most of us have been in the same situation and listening with no video it takes me back..

Mike Skinner is a Genius! Being from Brum also I really feel connected to man... real poetry... real relatable.

He nailed it tho we are gloomy and its deffo the weather soon as we see a little sun shorts out in a beer garden😂 all pasty and malnourished🤣🤣

3:23 bro you his this right on the head. Gloomy days and taking drugs. A great British pastime

This is one of the all time UK classics

the tune at the start of this is called "routine check" by the mitchel brothers ft. mike skinner

I was 18 from Kentucky and saw his video on fuse or MTV in '02 or '03. His first album Original pirate material is good, but his 2nd A grand don't come free was amazing. This is a track that's always gonna sound great from the beat alone. Still like Mike Skinner.

We be wilding here in the UK. When i was a teenager in the late 80's / early 90's we started drinking in the pub at 14 years old. Rarely got refused, if ever.

Mate, I knew someone at my school who used to casually smoke near the school and this was when we were both about 11 years old.

Kids is a classic movie always loved that movie..was big in the uk, I guess we vibed with the realness

This song was quite big back then,n yeah you're right about uk being quite dark n bleak.this tune is about that part of an ecstasy buzz when your jaw biting out your head.

Bashy my nightmare - killed this beat

the man is a legend ....trust

A glimpse into British culture - a wedding, girlfriend with best friend, drug alcohol fighting. Multigenerational chaos.

This was early grim...the streets first 2 albums are outstanding

This was very very big this blasted out is something you don't hear often almost dubstep

Every time I hear it I want to drop an oldschool pill or 2

I put this album up on any hip hop album ever, stay positive is probably the dopest lyrics ever in hip hop

This album is a fkn masterpiece. I wrote an essay about the story for an English assignment while at school.

i do love this song lol. it was their style.

The streets albums both original pirate material and a grand don't come for free reminds me of my teen years the mid 2000s and also plan B -paint it blacker

This song is a masterpiece

a lot of architecture in Britain is old as well, gives it that vibe

Can't remember if it got number one but it was a massive hit with alot of generations. My mum loved it

UK is dark, but deep. Comes with a culture that’s thousands of years old and a big population stuck on a small island. Our culture has layers like most countries don’t

A grand don't come for free album is a story from beginning to end. Skinners a genius with words

I love them singing never went to church

Same bro I watched kidulthood and found that song

Best way to describe the streets “cult classic not best seller”
