@@JohnsysChannel it’s actually real quality. In summary, season 1 has a lot of laughs at the cultural differences of UK 🇬🇧 and USA 🇺🇸 with really likeable personalities good drama interplay. Season 2 they take the characters a lot deeper. I’m not saying anymore, take it or leave it, all same to me.
@@rokshok183 I don't think they did a very good job of selling it in the trailer. If you say it's worth a watch I might give it a chance and see what it's about. :)

This is genuinely great bars, it's insane how Americans will say rap hasn't been good since the 90s yet people like Roots and Dizzee are STILL GOING, plus you have people like JME and Oceans Wisdom who've got bars 10x better than any American 90s gangsta rap.

U Channel legend....Just goes to show a great concept and lyricism will always stand the test of time, this was so different to all other songs with bigger budget. I looked it up in 2020.
I thought good hip hop/rap was dead for about a decade till I heard this tune through a friend, must say - its awesome! i like the evil background music hehe :)
There is a lesson in that video. Don't listen to people who criticise about you, if you are cheating or not. This shows you need to have confidence in your self. In life you got to do something and be a winner.
@@jukelenkins3643 Its a great song and a great video. Great rap music is produced in the uk! On the video. I always like funny amusing videos. This is why i like the Beastie Boys so much. If the video is right, it is a great promo for the band/musician.
Ted Lasso brought me here and my life has improved immeasurably
Same!
Hahaha… yeah I hadn’t heard this banger in ages, thanks Ted Lasso!
So there's something actually good about that program then. I watched the trailers for it and I couldn't bring myself to watch it any further.

There is quite literally not another song like this. This tune has been blowing my mind since I was about 11 watching Kidulthood.. good but mysterious times.
I was 26 in 2001. It was something new.
12 years old and same. It's so unique even he himself could not recreate it.
The concept behind this video was genius.
It is. Absolute genius. Who can't relate?
2020 and still better then shit these days respect to Roots underrated legend now let me down me pint of bitter 🍻.
Came here from The Fall. Blindness.
Who knew?pint of bitter and cheese on toast for me …. The Fall , Bitter, Cheese on toast.
Most British thing ever.
ain`t music fantastic ..I`m fucking 61 and still learning.
he summoned up the power of banana clan, most other rappers couldnt
Its 10 pints of bitter...
He's got a sense of humour in his tunes, that's what I love. And he raps about innocent things, his childhood and things.
Good lad
It is scientifically proven that listening to this makes any workout 1000% more effective
"right now i see clearer than most. i sit here contented with this cheese on toast"
Definitely a mantra we could all live by... Very wise words from Master Roots
Still one of the best (and funniest) music videos I’ve seen 🙌🏿
Ngl. Never knew this video existed until now. As many times since I’ve first heard this jawn😂
A+ squanch
GOAT of athletics, came back and took his titles. legend
My 50 year old dad loves this song, he remembers when this came out in 2001. He was 28 when this came out, and 7 years before I was born
I saw this clip for the first time on MTV2 Uk. Beatiful days without internet :') greetings from Poland
that bassline will never not be monster
Is this not just the BEST video ever.
I laughed out loud, roots must be an amazing guy to hang out wit
Absolutely hilarious!......
Yup 👍
🤣🤣🤣
Just found this tune in 2024 what a tune
Have the 12", LP, Dub LP and somehow have never watched this video. Almost 20 years later it is still a banger and great video!
Such an underrated classic, I miss music like this
Genius lyrics, genius production, genius video. There's nothing left to want.
Now the Ikea advert theme tune
I agree. It's absolute gold.
The real deal. Been raising social issues before Stormzy was born. Each album gets better than the last. Incredible.
this was a big tune when it came out, it still is
20 years old & still so good.
Thanks, Roots. Great track, and I laugh my head off every time I watch this video. It's a classic.
This is LIFE. Sense of Humour...Talent...Art...I'm in awe. Thanks, Children of men.
Ikea advert played this on advert & i was like wow i haven't heard this for years!! Obviously had to search on youtube & blast it! Fantastic tune, fantastic vid & a fantastic dude :)

Lol that’s why I’m here… Shazamed Immediately

I loved the intensity , verve, tenacity ,unadulterated emotions and naivety of the kids
Taskmaster burst the bionic zit-splitter
Breakneck speed we drown ten pints of bitter
We lean all day and some say that ain't productive
That depend upon the demons that you're stuck with
Cause right now, I see clearer than most
I sit here contending with this cheese on toast
I feel the pain of a third world famine
Segue, we count them blessings and keep jamming
It's him scumbag, scum of the earth, his worth was nil
Until he gained the skill of tongues
From fifteen years young straight to my greyback self
I stay top shelf material, jerk chicken, jerk fish
Breakaway slave, bliss
Generate gees and then we stash 'em in the Swiss
Fools can't see this, audio pistols
A fistful of hip hop banzai, progressing in the flesh
Esoteric quotes, most frightening
Duppy took a hold of my hand while I was writing
Let go me ting, duppy, let go me hand
I summon up the power of banana clan!
Witness the fitness
The Cruffiton liveth
One hope, one quest
Swigging that beetroot juice, now we dipping and boost
Set the spirit dem loose, go head go slash up the noose
We conclusive proof of both the truth, the right
Cause whether we hitchhike or push bike or travel kind of trash
Manifest that with wholesome roots rap, manifest that, yeah!
I do my same way, ain't nothing else I know
Gone up in the life with this here rag-and-bone flow
Squeeze the pain from my belly and set my soul free
Travel over ocean, land and sea, face nuff stress and difficulty
Flung back from the brink, gwan in kinda stink
We don't give a frigg about what dem fools think
Frigg your network, our debt work a speak for itself
Proof of the trophy and champion belt
Come sun, come rain, come hailstone pelt
Bwana Smith with some old time shit
Let the whole world know we on some off-key tip
Mega-manic when time the pressure start lick
By the hook or by the crook, by the poop or by the kick
He's sickly cryptic, spitting that code
And most proud to present that Cruffiton mode
And it shows that they bros done seen a few sleights
Life throws scenarios, reality bites
We in collision with the beast
Lost we religion and we can't get no peace
Idiot weakhearts want to take I for chief
Stoop to their level and we plotting cold grief
But we should know that discipline maketh the gees
Separation of the DAT from the rap, that's a must
Proceed set speed with the Cruffiton touch
Proceed set speed..Cruffiton, y'all
Only posted cause I'm pissed and want to sing along
