Such a humble and well-spoken guy, could listen to him being interviewed for hours. A fuckery that the UK mainstream hasn't given him more airtime (bar 1 or 2 interviews and a panel appearance on Question Time)
Ducactus he said he turns down most of his invites for TV, just saying
That QT appearance took the piss. They didn't even tell him the former EDL leader was going to be there and slightly skewed to him what the topics to be discussed were. It was rough!
Air time for what??? who is he?
humble? Hes a straight up sociopath
@@ic966 So, what? It just means you fucking agreed with Tommy Robinson a lot more than the rest of them. Doesn't make him right and shinny in my view.
I would vote for him...don't know what for but he has my vote.
LDNballer Yes, Akala is a very impressive individual, but the problem with politics is exemplified in your comment - representative politics has no empowerment for the average citizen. Always looking for somebody to represent us, to do things or our behalf, stunts both our personal and communal growth. Direct action is the key to working class empowerment. Horizontal organisation and delegation, not hierarchy and representation, are what’s needed to give power back to ordinary people.
He says as much dumb shit as he does truth.. unfortunately
Miguel Forster He has some very good analysis but very vanilla liberal solutions.
This guy has some pretty radical opinions he keeps hidden. He thinks white culture is inherently evil and he wants to abolish it.
@@desnebula5699 where did he say any of that, show me, I'll wait...
Akala is a North London legend!
Camden legend .
Scottish legend lol
He's from our endz gotta love that ❤️
@@onekhalilmiah5650 hes actually from islington.
Firell Parker asif where I was born
Akala for UK leader, guys just awesome
surf a Same reply as I made to another comment similar to yours...

I’ll quote Akala himself...
“I’m a rebellious bastard, with no respect for authority, so I don’t suggest that you follow me”

@@Libertarian606 well said
@Black Gold Every nation has done fucked up things. Im sorry you want to believe that its only ever been white people but your racism isnt justified and you need an education.
1. The Burmese went on killing sprees once their empire got some guns. They raided villages of surrounding and peaceful people like the Thais who had to fight them off with martial arts.
2. The Samoans genocided their southern neighbors called the Moriori who happened to live by a pacifist doctrine killing women and children regardless and enslaving whoever was left.
3. Rwandans collected aids patients from hospitals, a few thousand strong and formed them into rape gangs to which many women today are still suffering from the effects.
haha we aren't going to let down our ancestors unfortunately for you
I really like this man, he’s so smart! And Australians are so much more respectful when they speak to him compared to the Americans when they speak to him!
I hate to be the one to bust your bubble mate, but the truth of the matter is this: He only got treated with respect by that panel of left wing virtue signalers because of the colour of his skin. Had he been a white person or, even worse, a white male, putting the exact same narrative out there in public, Waleed Ali and Lisa Wilkinson would savaged him like a couple of rabid dogs. Basically, if hypocrisy was real estate, the members of The Project would hold the mortgage on it.
TombstoneHeart shut up Tom I can’t stand Aussies anyway I prefer kiwis
@@channyp7210 Hahahaha - so funny. So, on the one hand " Australians are so much more respectful" until one of them offers an opinion on the topic that doesn't suit you and then suddenly you "can’t stand Aussies ". You sure are one very confused and mixed up little semi-fluid snowflake, aren't you. Never mind though - you'll be fine - as long as you keep drinking the soy milk and the Kool-Aid.
OMG he's in Australia! 😜 now we need him to reach the US.... The world needs AKALA! 🔥
He doesn't rap so much these days, but he gets it, the issue is class. I'd vote for him too.
Godefroid, it is a blend of race and race. you should get acquainted with his work.
@@PHlophe I’m not necessarily saying it’s the example for this guy I don’t know enough about him, but I feel some white people often to put a larger emphasis on class then race so they can claim some sort of victim card. Class discrimination is a definitely an issue in our society (especially England) but I feel like race is the biggest issue. I think a working class white male would get the benefit of the doubt above a rich black man. I have seen some examples of this in my life.
If you haven't watched his fire in the booths, do yourself a favour
Yeah.. Don't watch it 😂
They’re mint he doesn’t falter once
Akala, a living legend.
This guy has some pretty radical opinions he keeps hidden. He thinks white culture is inherently evil and he wants to abolish it.
@@desnebula5699 So you say, what particulair white culture are you talking about? How does he want to abolish it and where does he say its inherently evil. Have you heard his words in the right context or are you just projecting your own image of a man you don't know and haven't tried to know. But I could be wrong I don't know him either just an image projected by my own mind and filter through whatever soothes my brain.
Even so I don't see him in the words you describe nor has he given me any indication of being a radical hateful man with an hidden agenda beside the betterment of humanity as a whole, and black people especially. If that's a surprise you don't understand the issues he's talking about.
So enlighten me please.
@@greenli9551 Yeah if you watch his old videos and TV invitations he argues for things like "there is no such thing as white culture" and Britain is racist etc etc.
@@desnebula5699 Des Nebula Link me up to the video or video's and the exact time of what you think he said. How am I supposed to know what you've seen.
@@greenli9551 Watch his Oxford Union video he says "white culture is fake" as he argues for some African-Indentitarian ideas.
The Breakfast Club should invite Akala
And sway! Imagine akala foing 5 fingers! 😁😜🤯
So charlamagne can try to mug him off as he does to the UK guests.
@@vicreaves3077 TBH I think they wouldn't stand a chance against akala..... I'm sure it would be THEM that got the schooling no? 😂
@King Louis!! Yeah not keen on charlamange either TBH.... Just wish the world had access to the wisdom that comes from artists like akala. Lowkey. Dave. English frank. mic righteous etc etc! Hoping that Dave will start that ball rolling now! 🤞
PS did u mean the girl on the breakfast club cos I think she's cool as well.... I find the rest a bit ignorant.... They can't even be bothered to do a bit of research on who they have on! 🙄
@King Louis!! Agreed mate....although it does make you wonder why more of these woke artists are for the most part.... Kept out of the limelight IMO.... Kinda sad that they're happy to push the drink/drug/money rap and yet the life/mind changing stuff is kept back? 😔.... and don't get me started on lord Jamar either! 😂
WOW.... He's gone worldwide now!!! Excellent!!!
ONE SERIOUS GUY WITH HIS STUFF TOGETHER, ONE LOVE, SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU READ.
Interview was too short I could listen to Akala drop truth 💣 all day 👑
shola ebofin always
Highly intelligent individual, brilliant interview.
Such a great inspirational man .... every time he talks he's very interesting
Never heard of this guy before but what he clearly does is get people debating issues which is always a good thing in my book.
He guessed the winner of premier league correctly as well
Awesome man been a follower since Shakespeare!!
Aside from Akala being as erudite and enlightening as always, this entire panel are an absolute breath of fresh air, asking him questions that are actually intelligent, and responding in an equally engaging way. Props to everybody involved here.
definitely one of the project's better interviews
Seen him live three times. His shows slap 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Akala has always reminded me of the lead in Rage Against the Machine
What a legend,so knowledgable
I could listen to akala for days what a guy. 👊
Masha’Allah! Beautiful and intelligent man.
Love this guy such humility 💯
akala is one of my idols
Saw this amazing dude speak in Brisbane! Such an awesome, inspiring and essential voice in today's modern socio-cultural climate.
Fascinating again Akala!
Educate them Akala.!!
Fire in the booth 1 is the best freestyle EVER
That’ll be No 4
I prefer part 2, the audio is much better than 3/4 where don't know what Charlie was doing, but he wasn't recording the audio properly and hitting those sound buttons too many times.
I also particularly like the second segment of part 2, One of the best simple bars ever written relative to this time and place.
:37 is absolutely mesmerizing
He was also right about the premier league. There's definitely a pattern.
Big man Real talk #Akala ✊🏿
I hope my country's journalists show as much respect for this man when he arrives in Aotearoa, as our Australian brothers and sisters did.
Sorry mate, but their respect is all fake. See my reply to A P above.
TombstoneHeart, that's a shame. At least they weren't dicks to him then.
Love the way he wears his dreads.
He is influence in the world.
Akala is an amazing guy 😎
"Does it get played on mainstream radio"
hahaha good one!
Great speaker, decent book!
If you don’t know who he is I beg you watch his Fire in the Booths
They are legendary,part 2 is probably my favourite
@@kevintwine2315 Part 4 is my personnel favourite, then part 2. All fantastically visual with what he says.
Philip Kennedy Yeah part 4 is pretty special,especially the second half of it where he reads from his poem/story thing
It's considered the best fire in the booth of all time and that's really saying something as there have been some incredible ones over the years
This guy has some pretty radical opinions he keeps hidden. He thinks white culture is inherently evil and he wants to abolish it.
Des Nebula 😂😂😂
I've never heard rapping in an english accent before. Neat!
Late as ever . I'm a bisto fan as change is never good, but it's getting hard to call this home and I'm sure that's a feeling felt by many. I'd vote for him or he should at least be in the running for leading any of us into the future, an educated mind rather than an entitled privileged elitists bent on keeping us slaves,poor,devided and defeated!
Roll wid us or get rolled over 💪
The remix to that is his best tune
Na I disagree, he's done so many better songs since then. I was just paying my respect to the akala that entered the game and won every award, said fuck the radio and kept growing as an independent artist. Now the mainstream getting rolled over 💪
Such a classic
He should be PM of UK we would vote him easily
Absolute genius
Can someone list the names of the songs used in this segment
Please go on Joe Rogan! it'd be such an interesting convo
Legend
❤️
that panel knows how this works, they just find it entertaining. He's wasting his breath talking to brick heads.
I fucking love this bloke
what a pleasure
He is an incredible person.
That was so short
It was!
Realist
whats the girl at end bending all about ?
It was going well until he said City are gonna win the league, I’m considering revising my opinion of him
All the haters be dominating the replies in the comments but not commenting on the video itself 😂👏🏽
#One
so much respect for this guy, especially after reading his book 'Natives'
Whoa, here’s a woke vid!
Check it out!
czcams.com/video/KefYb-dSUfY/video.html
Anyone know where the song is from at 0:37 ???
Find no enemy
@@bigbagofcanswiththelads2638 Ahh I think its "roll wth us" by Akala, but thanks for the reply
SPREAD THE WORD.... WE NEED AKALA ON SWAY 5 FINGERS! 😜😜😜😜
He would show them how it's done
@@stevebb2915 I don't think they'd be ready for it! 😂 can think of quite a few emcees from here that could school that mic! 😂
Yes! He'd deliver great flow and educate at the same time.
@@lifelivedfreely Now we just need to find a way to make it happen! 😂..... Kinda wish they would show just a teeny bit more love to the UK scene.... I'm pretty sure only a few have crossed over right? 😏🤨😑
@@MsBabylove11 You based in the US? Yeah, MCs like Skepta and Dizzee Rascal get love over there. That's about it I think.
Akala is Bob Marley son in spiritual DNA.
Has Cujo the black one and Guthrie the English blood in him.
💪 Jamaican root's and Scottish blood that's the connection with Bob Nesta Marley 🔥
Real sees real
Sounds like he's had a hood start in life. Lucky bastard.
Socially Woke? Do you mean educated? Just because he isn’t a mumble rapper you say he is woke. Akala is intelligent and well mannered, the kardashians are “woke”.
cool interview but forgot to mention his big sisters fame which is a huge part of the reason why now know who he is... lest he forget.
thehoneyeffect it really isn’t, as he said himself he consciously did not associate himself with his sister to build his own lane sonically
er.. we've last heard of his sister in 2002 and we've heard of him for the first time around 2004 on big platform.
Hilarious!!
Hahahaha the fuckin end?!
The BBC love him
No they dont, they cut in when hes talking left right and center - to disrupt the truth of his points and ask incredible loaded questions to create a framework of their liking. Im British and the BBC are very good at this, they do it all the time to control the framework of convo's to fit their agenda and on top of that you will notice they disable comments on YT all the time. As they cant have the viewers calling the BS out and putting light on things. This is why I was intrigued to see how Australian TV would operate, and I am pleasantly surprised. They were respectful, allowed Akala to finish his points and have a all round adult conversation.
Modern day Malcom X
Don't need to call him woke, he's just correct
Jesus the title of this video haha
Akala is the truth
Socially woke rapper,........Whaaat!!!...Thats not unusual ....Please stop acting like socially woke rappers are unusual.....Thats actually the norm...The rappers who the big companies promote on the otherhand...seems to always bend on stereotypes of black people......I wonder🤔🤔
It was just something short for the title. I'm well aware of socially conscious Rappers too mate, been aware of them since the very start w/ Grand Master Flash "The Message" to name just one.
If you actually listen they don't give rebuttals to any of his points
He speaks some truths..but twists others to fit his narrative....good guy tho
That's what everybody does.
Such as what?
Roll wid us 😂 yeah i want to listen to him....roll wid us ffs
"The world is multicultural." Did she hear herself ask that question?
Question: What do Akala and Donald Trump have in common? Answer: Both their mothers are Gaelic speaking lady's from the Outer Hebrides
Akala for prime minister
Nicely topped off with a demeaning bit of animation at the end there. Very woke!
People seem so fascinated by being black and able to explain yourself
Which makes me think
Maybe they ain't that smart themselves
you are a disgrace.
Or maybe you are not smart enough to understand the hinderances of being coloured coupled with where you are from. I mean how would you without being that person and having your privilege. Each to their own perception of cultures but whats smart if you are ignorant
DG a perennial chip on your shoulder!!
Who’s not smart? The ones inviting him on their platform or Akala himself?
And by woke you mean intelligent, well educated, open minded, critically thinking and ethical? Right?
Socially woke is a term used by lettuces to describe very little about people. What a silly title.
Had to keep the title short, that's all, read my description about Akala for more.
@@JamesDeWeaver stiil its a poor term that describes nothing true about people, also your lack of a better word.
If akala, lowkey and Russell Brand were given the opportunity to lead the UK theres no doubt in many minds wed be a better place !!!!
I dunno...I don't think well be ready for the crack epidemic to rise again with Russel brands influence
Russell brand? Sweet fucking Jesus.
@@stevebb2915 the dudes mad interesting just like akala and lowkey can listen to him shooting the breeze all day !!!
“He grew up in a single parent home”
It was made to sound like that is unusual in nose ckommuni’eez!
I used to like Akala , then he uttered two words “Manchester City”
I follow this man religiously hahaha
: ^ ))
LOL he just says it's much better now than it was before, people have more rights, woman have more rights , minorities have more rights than 100 years ago, which is true. And some people are nagging that he is crazy and lefty etc. Even if he is I did not see anything wrong in what he said in this interview, history of Britain is cruel and there is no doubt about it... now we have the time when we all have a chance and still people are mad about it ? You want to come back to the past , when only certain group of people was privileged ? I really do not understand people, but I guess human beings are not 'good by nature...'
Look to the Future . Talk to the present . Lift humans up . Single mothers In the black community are rising . Black on black crimes are rising. and it's all the UK fault .
what being a real black man is all about.
Thought he was mixed race?
@@marcwareham9351 shush !
Marc Wareham any hint of traceable black makes you black like obama etc, you been living under a rock?
@@MannyRiberaOriginal ugh! if this was the case the entire latin america would be black. we know which degree makes people black in america.
Manny Ribera 😂😂😂 I’ve heard it all now. In that case I’m black!
If you don't know brother Akala..your loss...🚥 London N15 🇲🇺🚥
#Peace
should not have gone with manchester city lol
Eh? they won... So he was right to say Man City, Eh??
Left wing middle class do gooder
Clueless
Why are these entitled Aussies interviewing someone they don't know and have no interest in?
and they don't even have one anchor that's indigenous to the country . Not one on tv , not one on film. i find it fascinating that they have managed to erase an entire ethnic group from every single visual form as well as in real life
@@PHlophe Stan Grant, Karla Grant, The Marngrook Footy Show, Imparja Television, NITV, David Gulpilil, Debra Mailman and probably a lot more I don't know of because I don't watch TV anymore. However, it wouldn't matter how many indigenous people we had on TV or in the movies, the Ten Network and The Project would trump them all, because they have a token, brown muslim!
"Im very empirical." Yeah okay Akala, whatever you say.
He's telling the truth though. If you read his book all the things he talks about is backed up by academic research and data.
Vegan activist?!
Top to bottom directly from the oligarch's to us, more social engineering and agenda's for the next generation imo.
Greatest man in the uk is Tommy Robinson 100%
Jesus I'm irish, get over it life is hard for all
