Bro, it’s still holding up. The video itself is telling a story and the music is perfectly timing with it. The cameraman/directed was good at creating and telling stories.
It’s mad because this was your first video and yet to me this was the best video usg produced. It’s raw and gritty. Looks like something from the wire and all true as well.
TOP GENERAL LEFT A TEAM NIGGA too soon all the original man dem who listened bk in the day will remember ya.We never got to see the best of you. Also RIP SMALLZ. hope you're spittin bars in heaven. Never forgotten!!
@b19-brumcity Just relistening to this classic,just heard earlier about lefty's passing.Rest In Peace 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I remember hearing Edge passed years ago.Rest In Peace 🙏🏼 Never heard what happened though How did Edge pass?
@Rago Rap is American music, so what can we do. The U.K. music scene existed way before the 2000's and you must be born in the late 90's. U.K. Hip Hop didn't get any love because England was into raving music like Hardcore, then Jungle was born. It was 100% British and didn't have Gangster Rap influences unlike today.
@Rago Bruv, you was born when 'Original Nuttah' came out, so you wouldn't have a clue about Lovers Rock either lol. U.K. Hip Hop was around before your birth date, but people only rated Jungle in the early to mid 90's. When Grime came after UKG, people trying to do Rap/Hip-Hop sounded American and they weren't rated. It's only when SN1 came along and changed everything. The U.K. scene aka the Black British Music scene has been around since the 1970's. Roots Reggae was the Street Music of the generation before us. Many of you do not know the history of Black British Music/U.K. scene and it shows. 'Talking the Hardest' wasn't the beginning of this English Black scene.
@Rago You know about Lovers Rock, which is a bonus in hindsight lol. Like you stated, you're an old soul so hearing Jungle, DnB or UKG wouldn't put you off. Back to your original comment, we've always had a scene with key people like Soul II Soul, London Posse and General Levy to name a few from different Music genres here in England. Gangster Rap was never our thing, even though Mark Morrison tried to imitate the Americans, his music didn't showcase that. So Solid during the UKG era definitely opened the door for U.K Rap to even get a shine, but Grime really kicked the doors.
@@Nainocard even then so solid were a garage sound. 90s was all about electric/rave music like jungle. Even though rap music in the uk has been here since the 80s it was only when giggs released talking the hardest is when rap of a real street element started to bubble properly in the minds of uk youth. This was overly helped by the grime scene though as youths were learning rhyming through grime at 140bpm. I agree with everything you’re saying. I was born in 1990 but as a kid I was heavily influenced by grime and subsequently a bit of garage before then. I’ve made it passion to look at black uk/urban music that we’ve produced here. It’s a huge amount of history to take in
@@gloverdragon6854 Large up yourself. It is a long history from even before Lovers Rock and Roots Reggae came along. People only start to look into the history from when Hollow Man dropped Talking Da Hardest. I'm not even going too lie to you, I much preferred our era of U.K. Dance music with UKG, Jungle, Grime, Dubstep etc. Road Rap has fully pushed us into taking over an American music genre (again), but nothing to do with Dance music.
