Damn, you are right, I see what you mean 🤔😅. I'll never be able to listen to Ghostface Killah's verse in 4th Chamber the same way. 'Why is the sky blue, why is water wet' 🤣🤣
Skinny was one of the support acts when I went to see The Streets at Brixton Academy 20ish years back. He was brilliant, he was holding a sign to bring attention to a guy that died in police custody. If you ever get a chance to see him perform Live, make sure you go. We need more artists with a positive message like him. Peace 🕊️
Skinny man was always a good rapper, but doesn't half talk some leftist nonsense when you see him live. Remember him going on about Margaret Thatcher when I saw him.
I wish Skinnyman had released more albums. Council Estate of Mind was a classic album and one I go back and listen to regularly. Whether he would have been able to top it is another question, but that album alone stands the test of time in UK music.
There is an interview with Gucci Mane when he is just fresh out of prison, looking like a completely new person, in which he is asked what he believes draws people to his music and what drew him to the music he enjoys. His answer, "I grew up thinking that I knew these people on the tracks. That these people knew me and what I was going through. I didn't just hear a person on a track, I heard a family member I was rooting for to win and get over.". Skinnyman has definitely always been in that category for me. Followed him since I was a kid. The music/lyrics have changed their meanings to me as I have gotten older, been through my own struggles throughout the years and re-listened with a completely different outlook on the world than when I first heard it. And the music grows with you.
@@donahboddami my spelling has always been terrible in my defense though like I can never get You're or Yours or whatever other way there is to spell that specific one right either. But spoken language is rather different to written language I think. Like I never get why some people pronounce the word assume "ashume" like there is a "H" in the word when there clearly isn't!!
Skinnyman the fkn Don , would of taken over but babylon put him in jail at worst time ... and all the money from the Album got robbed , he got nothing , Big up Skinny real UK Hip Hop
i remember when i was about 20, my housemate brought this album. he was always ahead of the nonsense and knew all the sick shit. Noah Moon. luvya. Cash Karizma. Obese Records. check him out, dickheads! Excessive & Disgusting Degrees
Skinnyman top bruddah. Was 10 years ahead of the game
20 mate were just seeing the beggining of it
@@45BO.shoRtS you are right bro0. He was a pioneer of uk rap that doesnt get the credit he deserves
Real talk
Yes bro. 100% he came way too early. Very underrated slept on artist.
@@drewwhy5541 shame man -the youngerz should look up to he the true pioneer of british hip hop.
2024, and council estate of mind still sounds fresh
Iconic. literally represents what England's council are
Great art never dies buddy!!!
nothing is equivalent
Asking Skinnyman "are you real" is equivalent to asking if water is wet 😂
or a trans man if he is a man
imagine if you really asked that
are you real? are you wet?
that's deep man
Water isn't wet though 🙄 Water gets things wet, in order to be wet it has to have been once dry 😏
Damn, you are right, I see what you mean 🤔😅. I'll never be able to listen to Ghostface Killah's verse in 4th Chamber the same way. 'Why is the sky blue, why is water wet' 🤣🤣
Problem is, you've been tricked reverse phycology is real. Watch the actions not the words. Remember I said that.
That album was the best thing I ever stole …..classic
love that this was just recommended to me. British culture. Young narstie first meeting a forefather of hip hop. Great this was documented

How old is this interview ? Crazy how relevant it is today !! (August 2024)
20 years ago feels like 5 minutes ago...such a timeless album
Crazy right? Made me go while back sat here for half hour thinking about them days..
Yeah! I thought this was some weird AI thing, so fucking relevant.
Just goes to show this fight is continuous
Skinny is too reeeeal!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Facts! One of my fave UK O'Gs
Double reverse phycology, your actually just tricked. Actions speak louder than words.
love and truth brother, truer words never spoken, peace!!
Council estate of mind is a underrated
Not really
Travesty that council estate of mind is no longer available. Underrated album
smashed it and what a lyric. deep
Skinny’s a legend
Reeeel badman . Them bars were ahead of there time.
That song was legendary, council estate of mind, back then. This guy was too deep, he knew too much
The classic album.....We need a sequel
What an absolute legend man
Skinnyman you're a legend, thank you so much for your music.
Narstie you're a bellend.
Why the hate for Narstie
A true masterpiece. Still the best British rap album of all time 🕰️
Skinnyman seems like such a nice fellow.

Way ahead of his time.
Council Estate of Mind is a UK classic.
Skinny 100% top UK OG! Mud fam!
Narstie had no idea who he was talking to.

Skinnyman ❣
Medium Narstie
😊
quality!!
BOSSMAN 🔥
Real brash, got slam tomes
Living your life by two pillows….don’t sleep
Think he meant 2 pillars.
I have three pillows for the rotation.
Skinnyman's better than most of his generation rap skills or should I say Grime skill
There called pillars mate not pillows.
Narstie did an amazing job not cracking up when he said that 😂
You knew what he meant, like I knew you meant that "There" was meant to mean " they're"😅
@@donahboddami my spelling has always been terrible in my defense though like I can never get You're or Yours or whatever other way there is to spell that specific one right either.
But spoken language is rather different to written language I think. Like I never get why some people pronounce the word assume "ashume" like there is a "H" in the word when there clearly isn't!!
Skinny man was talking truth the whole time ,maybe he works for the simpsons
👌🏽💯✊🏽👊🏽
2 pillows
British eminem.
As skinny man got a mixed race brother called beanie man does anyone know ?
sick
Little Narsty!
Well, not so likkle!
Your favourite rappers rapper
Skinnyman the fkn Don , would of taken over but babylon put him in jail at worst time ... and all the money from the Album got robbed , he got nothing , Big up Skinny real UK Hip Hop
When was he in jail? If he had the smarts he’d be getting paid.
He could easily write and get paid
Council estate of mind is still selling second hand style.
What year was this?
possibly 2004
❤
Skinny man is certi he spits facts
Fell asleep what happened
MUD FAM!!!!!
Stole the album of LimeWire
Skinnyman must be 40 and still dragging his feet like a 20 year old
Pillars not pillows
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
