Thank you to Bugzy Malone for taking part in this episode. Bugzy’s new album The Great British Dream is out now - bsomebody.lnk.to/GBD
Only did the episode to promote his album 😂😂
@@mb11111 fuck off mate did you even listen to it. and even if he did why do you have a problem with that its okay to to promote yourself
The 6week hols was war every day was a violent interaction!!!!!
@@mb11111 and to tell his life story. Have you always been a merchant banker
Get a life stop hating busy is a inspiration to thousand of kids @@mb11111
The only rapper out here promoting healthy living and training to the youth, none of this drill stuff promoting knives and violence big up bugzy
He’s a man with discipline and values these drill rappers are like kids with nothing to lose . Bugzy has built up so much that’ it’s not worth losing good for the youth to look up to and very mature hats off to him

"He got wetted for spilling his drink on me" - Bugzy Malone
@@Spicelot thats all i cld think of🤣
Wholeheartedly agree, i hate drill music (it is the most useless music in the UK)
The transparency Bugz shows when talking about life and his awareness is phenomenal. Real fans know lots of the journey already through the old mixtapes 🔥
Like when he lies I knew bugzy before he "made it" he came from Whitefield and Pwich I've seen him chased of the estate and heckled.. I've seen his 6ft 5vfriwnd get folded in half with a rib shot... He basically copied his style from a kid on my estate. 😂
@@craigcombes
Yeah I've been through real hell in my life and I can tell he's talking fucking shit
@@Jim-mp3og bro he's acting like being had off by his step dad is a bad life 🤣my dad nearly knocked my teeth out when I was a teenager by head butting me...
Bro The journal of an evil genius and stereotyped got me through some real shit. Two of UK rap historic mixtapes in my opinion 🔥🔥🔥
You English are funny as hell all gng members 🤣 😂 come to juarez, Mexico I watched my family publicly murdered and its everyday cartel thing....go England its like get ya leg fondled u gang member this bad bad free house estate is hard life
I was in tears to see Bugzy's struggle when he spoke about Dane. I hope that he doesn't feel the pressure to keep his tears to himself. This man is a role model. His self-reflection will educate youngsters. What an amazing man. Thank you for being open, honest and vulnerable
"He got wetted for spilling his drink on me"
I was the same as you I was struggling I could feel his pain he has gone through, he's doing amazing keep it up bugzy malone 💙
The guys a fool and you are cat litter doodoo
This is one of the best interviews you guys have done in my opinion its no bs and just straight up thank you for coming on man you have a lot of respect for telling your story 🙏
You English are funny as hell all gng members 🤣 😂 come to juarez, Mexico I watched my family publicly murdered and its everyday cartel thing....go England its like get ya leg fondled u gang member this bad bad free house estate is hard life, crying and wonder why we call Englais de puta....bicches of Europe crying. Just spend 3 days here that's all as sinaloa and CJNG war, some black English crying because he hurted his knee
This is the only ladbible interview I haven’t skipped a second of, it’s decent to hear you’re not alone with your upbringing and someone in the limelight has been through the stuff as well and is speaking about it so candidly, big up bugzy, what a man.
You not alone brother 🙏🏻
Same
Stand up guy
Facts
Sounds like he had a easy upbringing
I used to listen to this guy back when he was broke. I was on the school bus trying to tell everyone about bugzy malone. They weren't hearing me. I literally could close my eyes listening to him, and enter a theatre. So descriptive with his words. There was a song where he talks about the "door coming off, police yelling everybody get down!". "i lost 3 grand that day, but it felt like 3 million pound......deeper into depression"
I didn't have to search that up, just pure memories...just showing how paramount his style was. Ill mind or diary or a serial killer, something like that was the name of the track.
And yes he was right, a lot of his earlier songs had a gritty British modern depression vibe to it. A lot of people at the time (still do) could relate. CasIsdead is another good example.
Journal of a evil genius

@@sagancobra6402 yeah man been listening from day 1 , and he’s still making music
relating to bugzy's family troubles makes me know that im not the only person that went thru it, and it kinda makes me okay
❤ keep going bro we can’t choose the hands we’re dealt in life. You only lose if you fold 👊
KEEP IT BRO !!!
Keep that head up boss! You will win.
Keep going bud.
There's a quote that iv always found helpful......you can throw me to the wolves, but I'll return leading the pack.
Here, Here!
I'm 31 and it still troubles me, to this day!
The step-dad and family stuff, is all too poignant!
You wouldn't think he was a millionaire rapper the way he is chilling here, seems like a genuine guy
FairPlay to bugzy malone, went from stressing as a kid, getting stabbed by a screwdriver, to chilling on ladbible as a millionaire rapper, genuinely sound geezer as well
@@b-fat6395yh sound geezer putting holes in people's chests , move away from the "violence" trouble brings trouble ! This whole interview is cap. "Gang wars" pfft kray twins were real geezers and would spit these out for breakfast these wet wipes.
He's literally wearing a £2000 jacket, he's obviously rich
@@CalvinCandieMO that isn't being rich. That is more money than sense. If you think having that much money on your back makes you rich I feel for your spouse !! Your PP says all there is to know
@@dan-fo8qr YOU SPEAK TO CALVIN CANDIE WITH RESPECT BOY
Bugzy's been through a lot. It's good to see him having so much confidence to talk about it
Buzgy always makes me feel like I’m always there with him. This guys story telling and been able to get to get the audience to understand and use their imagination is powerfull!
Remember seeing one his video back on KODH TV (old school guys from 2012 will remember)😅
Glad to see where you are now bro 🙌💯
This interview has been nothing short of exceptional! I’ve been a Bugzy fan since 2015 and I knew he had a hard life but some of these stories are crazy. The fact that he has turned his life around is a miracle and the fact that he is providing such inspiration to the youth to better their own lives shows how genuine he is. I also love the end when he tells kids to train, speak well and get educated!
*Massive respect for him sharing his story like this. I hope someone who needs to see this sees this and changes their life for the better*
U can see the love and emotion when he talks about Dane goosebumps rip Dane
You English are funny as hell all gng members 🤣 😂 come to juarez, Mexico I watched my family publicly murdered and its everyday cartel thing....go England its like get ya leg fondled u gang member this bad bad free house estate is hard life, crying and wonder why we call Englais de puta....bicches of Europe crying. Just spend 3 days here that's all as sinaloa and CJNG war, some black English crying because he hurted his knee
I've been waiting a lifetime for him to do something like this and it was worth waiting a lifetime to listen to, he's done his cousin Dane proud beyond imaginable. Genuinely a real bloke promoting the right thing.

One of the best interviews I’ve ever watched. Hopefully youngsters in similar situations watch this.
Highly anticipated, I really enjoyed Bugzy being this vulnerable. Been following this guys since 2015🙏❤️
This is one of the hardest hitting and best interviews I’ve seen. Impactful 🤯
From a town called Warrington near Manchester, and always painted pictures in my head with Bugzys lyrics, Appreciate this honest video more and more, Keep smashing it bugz, Hope the new album gets the gratitude it deserves 👊🏻💙
This is probably the best interview I have ever seen.
I’ve followed your come up for years, your story touches more people than you realise! Massive respect for the way you conduct yourself. ❤
This was incedible.
Bugzy thank you so much for opening up like this and being vulnerable when most other rappers of your status would never dream of doing.
The part about your cousin really touched me, especially how articulate you were about other life situations that would have broke most people.
Legend mate, really helped me during a hard time, keep doing your thing, Dane would be proud, you're an inspiration brother
I can relate to this man so much it’s unreal it’s like he’s telling my story in ways best in the game for sure 🙌🏻 keep it moving my g
i listen to alot of the rappers and i like their music but theres only a few i respect and try to build my life like them, this mans one of them.
Those mixtapes are so good wish you did get them on Spotify, feel like I can relate to bugzy on so many levels
I'm 11 minutes in and as a grown man I have a tear rolling down my cheek because I can relate to everything he's saying, it's so sad
25 years old cried my eyes out bro 🙏🏻
Thanks for being vulnerable, such an inspiration, and helped me through some tough times with his art.
Such an incredible video, tha k you for sharing Bugzy ❤
One of the goats, I love the way he inspired me ❤, I suffer from depression and this guy is an inspiration
Massive respect for Bugzy and LadBible for these interviews.... Really inspiring
I am confident that there are many people that can relate to what’s been said.
From the abuse, the fights growing up, getting involved in gang culture and then in to prison.
Some truly wise words have been spoken.
Another excellent episode!
I must be Bugz’s biggest fan from the states. I’ve been listening to him since 2016 and got caught up on his earlier music shortly after I started listening to him. This whole interview just brings me back to all his earlier songs, but it’s a deeper explanation of what was going on during those times. Great interview!
What an amazing young man huge fan even more so now real talk thanks for the inspiration brother ❤
One of the best interviews. The most beautiful part was when he was vulnerable.
You English are funny as hell all gng members 🤣 😂 come to juarez, Mexico I watched my family publicly murdered and its everyday cartel thing....go England its like get ya leg fondled u gang member this bad bad free house estate is hard life, crying and wonder why we call Englais de puta....bicches of Europe crying. Just spend 3 days here that's all as sinaloa and CJNG war, some black English crying because he hurted his knee
Lot of love for this guy ❤ respect the come up bro smashing it
Crazy how he has no proper friends now for all these years don’t let that go over your head. He’s literally just doing everything on his own yet helping the youth, he’s a great example for real life miracles
Edit: man just started the argument of the century, don’t think anyone’s reading all that 😭
He does what his record bosses tell him. Same with all the others.
He has his one label and is his own boss so that isn’t true. He is 100% independent
@@pavilmacaroni9427and you know that 😂😂😂
@@SebastianINTJ he was co signed by Charlie Sloth. Believe me he's got big Jewish record bosses he needs to keep happy and so exactly as they say otherwise at the least they'll be dodgy stories about him in the media.
@@mary-annesade it's how popular music business works.
What they did in the US in the 90s with 'gangsta rap' they are doing now in uk with grime/drill.
Ask wiley, or Lowkey, or Logic 🤷🏼♂️☮
We know and understand very little about each other’s stories. Thank you Bugzy for your vulnerability and openness. A real blessing and a gift to the youth 🙏🏾💗
Man, always been a big fan, this interview has elevated that fandom even more. Respect, Bugzy!
Thanks for being so open, so much respect !
This story pretty much represents why young men get involved in gangs
Single mom who makes poor decisions. Absent father. Lack of resources. Tumultuous home life from moms dating choices or addictions. Violent area. School doesn’t give af. The only guys you think are winning are on road…same old. Guys join gangs and the girls usually get pregnant young. The cycle continues…
It’s to have a sense of belonging.
Wow this interview was amazing bugzy is a true legend
Best interview I've seen in a good while
One of the best interview's ive seen. He is one of the realist out there props to him and what hes achieved
this guy saved my life in a very dark time with his words and lyrics very relatable love this guy man
Haven't even watched it yet and already liked it , this guy is a teacher big ups Aaron. I wish more artist would be conducting themselves how he does. Real definition of overcoming adversity .
Brother this kind of pressure and upbringing can make diamonds or it can kill you. The struggle of abuse makes you go one of two ways. Respect for being so open.
The most honest interview ever and when he talks about Dane you can see even to this day it’s still raw😢
Great interview Aaron ..super proud of you and even more proud that your from the 0161 ❤
Wow, powerful that bugzy!! Huge respect for opening up and allowing yourself to be vulnerable and in doing so becoming so humble. I may be wrong but i think you off loading like this is not just good for your fans but your own metal health, seemed like a weight had been lifted! True manc, keep smashing it bro! 💪
I’ve listened to bugzy since his facing time album. It’s crazy how there’s so many phrases he says or recalling the past that instantly makes me think of a lyric to one of his songs. Class man.
What a way to honour Danes memory. He would be so proud.
Sad story, but glad to see how far you made it.. massive respect for keeping it real bro 💯
Such a pure & real interview love him ❤️✨ may god continue to bless him 🙏🏽❤️
I relate very closely with his past, I was in a similar environment. It crushes you and totally warps what you believe is normal, when you see other people aren't living the same, it makes you feel like you're the problem. This is a real man, talking truth.
What an amazing interview, to open up t like that is something else. Which such clarity and depth.
Been waiting for thisssssss since mist
This is beautiful. Thank you Bugzy. I have loved your music from the earliest and you are set apart from the others and I respect what you have come through and achieved. God bless you man.
Glad you’re alive & healthy Bugzy 🙏🏽 there’s not enough like you ❤️
So much respect for being the man that you are having gone though all the hardships you've went through. And praying that you find more people in your life that you can trust 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Separation is a Tune that’s Bugzy done a while back the things he was saying makes you think more about his music and the journey he has lived, this interview brings everything to life and you can’t help but feel connected in some way
Realist 💎 if you’ve acc listened too his old music the transparency is crazy 🙏🏽🔌 👑 bugzy
I grew up in Manchester mum dad both on drugs back in the 90s 2000s it was hard very hard but I survived it I'm still here living a good life with 2 amazing boys and my wife, brother I feel the pain ❤
Been waiting a long time for an interview like this with bugzy, I’ve listened to him for a very long time and I feel like I’ve matured listening to his music, literally no one in his category, every word that leaves his mouth inspires me to do better in life, some man for one man, respect bugzy 🙏
Not a fan of his music, but massive respect for being so vulnerable for this. Most rappers egos are too big to be sincere and reflective like this.
Powerful interview
Wow! bugz let it out proper. Being from Cheetham Hill and knowing a lot of the LHG guys and seeing Bugz getting about on road and in the parks. I've got mad respect for him getting to where he is now. Keep doing your thing bro and spread the positive message.
The youth in the ends need it more than ever!
Where abouts in the hill u from
The realest out there, thankyou for this bugzy💜
Very real interview. Big up Bugzy. Seriously wishing you success, wisdom and happiness
Buggy was great in this video he spoke from his sole, but these answers was prompted by the interviewer who was asking some superb questions to poke for answers. Top work from both!
Spoke from his sole? How did he manage that then, I just tried couldn't hear a thing.
This touched down at home man!
Absolute top class interview… No bull, no glamour, transparent, mentally strong, articulate, resilience, real toughness! Seems a genuinely good person! Wish him nothing but success!
M.E.N introduced me to bugzy malone and its one of my fav tunes of all time, he tells his story through words so well, always pictured the kind of life he had when growing up
This one hit hard
I feel him with losing his best friend! My best mate died on what would've been my sons first birthday. May they rest in peace forever ❤
Seeing this guys journey over the years is crazy, much respect
🫡 bugzy I hear ya , had similar struggles and I’m glad you promote and try to inspire the yutes cos so many damaged kids out there stuck in the streets 👊🏾
This is an incredible listen, for anyone that’s struggled in anyway any colour, any aspect or experience can gain knowledge + wisdom from Bugzy Malone to progress in life.
🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
One of the best interviews I've ever seen well done Bugzy
respect to this lad for his utmost honesty - appreciate him sharing his story and experiences and respect what he has made of himself.
Couldn't skip a second of this. Beautifully spoken, such inspiration through the adversity.
That’s real shit at the end big respect to him for speaking about that
one of the best interviews i've watched, bugzy deserves all the success that he worked for
Even as a young 15yr old girl this man helped me and my best friend through a lighter version of what he's talking about. seen him twice now for his tours and trust me, you'll love it.
So manh similarities between myself and Bugzy.. my respect for him has now gone through the roof. Keep making the difference you are... God will keep blessing you 💯👑
Sending him a big hug. He has been through a lot 🤗
Big up Bugz, been waiting for him to come on a lad bible interview, he don’t promote violence and all like many rappers, he actually story tells and promotes a healthy lifestyle respect bugzy, ❤️❤️
This has been a long time coming, bugz is the only one to really paint pictures with words fr. This man keeps old times uk rap with grime in balance. Hands down one of the GOAT!
Great interview! This must resonate with so many more people that you can imagine
Got mad respect for bugzy can tell through his music the certain struggles he's been through he's a real rapper that speaks truth
Mad respect 🙏🏾
This guys one of my early idols, powerful interview
Incredibly powerful and one of the best interviews Iv seen, self assured now, clearly very intelligent great music also
His music saved me ❤
I relate so much to his story it’s like he’s telling my story too I love you bugs peace love and blessings
love how he brings up lyrics to explain its hard ❤
Love hearing him talk about the early stuff, lost in meanwhile city is the best mixtape he’s made
While Bugzy was coming up, he still found time to speak to young people at local youth centres in North manchester with kemoy. Respected that 👊
I have so much respect for this young man
That's what I like about Bugzy's music, his ability to tell his story & it's great that, that gift comes across in interviews with him. Respect Bugzy
Amazing interview
