- Man I feel like I’m back in school trying to breakdown this mans bars. It’s impossible on your first listen especially with not being familiar with his accent. But I appreciate all artists and anyone willing to step to the mic. I didn’t know he was an actual teacher!! That explains everything😂. Hey man props to Akala for killing this but this was hard for me man.

Guys I’m hearing Dyson is a brand of appliances from the UK/ Britain. I have a lot to learn my friends. I appreciate you all trying to teach me! It means a lot. You all are amazing for helping me out and giving me hell! I encourage it. Be safe everyone.
Much Love,
Cliff
Always dope to see someone experience some real UK Grime for the 1st time... love your breakdowns my g, putting in WORK!
Your correct they make vacuum cleaners amongst other things that’s why he said suck like a dyson vacuums suck up dirt
I'm pretty sure you have dyson's in the US
Lol I dont know if you came across her yet but give lady leyshur a try. Be warned though
Dyson - a vacuum cleaner
Ackee and calalou is a Jamaican vegetarian dish. He is referring to it like Popeye might do with Spinach. . . . Hence, no need to train. 😃 The UK rappers often put little references relating to their Caribbean or African heritage. Also like he says he is half a Celt and half a Maroon . . who basically were Africans who in small Caribbean communities successfully resisted enslavement.
Lowkey - Fire in the booth part 1 ;)
Mic Reckless Fire in the booth part 4
Thats 2 other goats from the UK
Its worth noting that Akala (and some other UK rappers) use a lot of Carribbean slang - Ackee and Callaloo is a Jamaican dish.
The slang used by rappers here is based in Multicultural London English, a *really* complex language that's a mix of dozens of languages. There's lots of influences from African languages, Middle Eastern, South Asian languages and Carribean languages, and people's personal upbringing will determine how heavy those influences are.
Thank you so much for this. I’m going to have to do some studying for these reactions 🙏
Dark lady is his book (novel) he released not to long before he made this
Thanks for the heads up. Now I just need to figure out the next 99.9% of this 😂🙏🤘🤯🔥
you must stop reacting to akala until you have a solid ear for uk urban music. circle back around to it later, you will enjoy it 100x more.
I’m realizing this now. I will revisit 100%. My subs threw me into the deep end 😂🙏. He’s a beast but impossible to breakdown without understand the terminology. Thanks for your kind words.
@@CliffBeatsOfficial yeah your subs done you dirty with this early recommendation 🤣.
Let’s put it this way. When I think of my top ten uk urban artists, I order them all, then I put Akala in his own special box on top of everyone else. He is just on another level intellectually. He gives talks at universities and big companies, two of which I have been lucky enough to go to. Writes lyrics, books, plays, the guy is a straight up genius and mad hard working.
Yo I’ve been watching these yanks try to decipher the flow fathers hieroglyphics for a few years. Almost got to the point where I need to make a 60 min explanation video so they can all truly understand. On par with shady no doubt
Difference is Akala speaks nothing but truth
@@joemolloy3042 I noticed reacting to him how above the bar he is, him and mix righteous
You’re earning your UK ears. Takes time but It’s worth it tho. Dave and Wretch are a great place to start. Ghetts is on fire over here just now and some of his older stuff will be hard for you to pick up but check out little bo peep with wretch and Dave. Also check out Chip, flowers and 10 commandments. Both are diss tracks to Stormzy so a little background research on them might help.
akala is a genuine genius polymath phenomenon: writer, teacher, social activist, and the GOAT rapper, full stop.
This was a tough one to try and get used to both accent and slang! 😅 I'd seriously recommend going back and checking out Akala's Fire in the Booth pt. 1 - it's much easier to understand than this rapid fire but still shows how Akala is just built different. Absolute legend 🙏
Akala is a historian very smart man.
I've watched alot of his video with his teaching.
It's probably worth checking out his first Fire in the booth, a lot of interesting social commentary about both USA and the UK
I definitely need to lear a bit more of the lingo and ease my way into Akala. He is a genius... literally 🙏. We’re blessed to have artists like Akala to make you think! I will in time my friend
I second this so much history in that fire in the booth it's also not as fast so could be easier to pick up 👌🏽
Drop everything and listen to Mic Righteous - Fire in the booth pt4. You’re welcome
I agreeee, I'd love to see that breakdown!
Thanks you my guy
As a white guy whose lived in London their whole life (except university) I can barely even tell Akala has an accent.
Can hear every word he's saying so clearly.
Dyson is a hoover bro 😂
😂😂😂 that cracked me up too.
Google Dyson in images 😂
Dyson isn't a Hoover, but definitely is a vacuum cleaner. 😂😂
Hoover is a hoover
Akala .a professor, self published author, and his f.i.t.b were and are studied by phd's..he's a conscious rapper and political. As he says in Fitb. Its the reason he gets no air play ere in the uk . But he dont care .mans making it writing ,teaching and got a loyal fan base for his rap style too...respect🔥🔥
Bet he can educate all of your u.s listeners too on your own history ..mans genius!!
FYI he’s a University Lecturer in one of the world top Universities, he has 2 doctorates. That’s what he was referring to when he “half of them mans couldn’t pass my classes”.
There is no rapper out there like him .. but I don’t think he’s trying to outsmart people, he’s trying to educate people
Akala is *special*
The intellect is o_O
Dyson is the leading hover brand.
He also says “dark lady the novel, man wrote a whole novel blood”
Wretch 32 has several insane daily duppies but you really should check out Swiss daily duppy its a madness
Bam bam voice of the streets
Forget anyone hating, doing great breaking done UK artists. Come across as a genuine reaction, what more could be asked for. Akala is another level!
Great reaction. You're way too hard on yourself, man. Truth is I know many fellow Brits who don't catch half the bars you do. But for something a little less mind-melting I'd recommend his tracks "Find No Enemy" & "Carried Away". (official music vids)
Also, please do his Fire in the Booths parts 1 & 2.
Edit: and "The Journey" by Akala & Mic Righteous.
Early early. Love the channel. Keep it going. 😁💪👌👍
Thanks boss 🙏
1:15 win win for sure man!, great channel.
IF akala has an heavy accent, i can only imagine what you think of aitch or jaykae
about the Dyson, it is literally a brand of vacuum cleaner
Why do you feel the need to include "literally" in this sentence? It serves no purpose
Man wrote a whole novel!

Keep it up, from Northampton UK. Don’t sleep on parts 1-3 of his fire in the booths. Also give Giggs a try, just recently dropped a new daily duppy ♥️
Ur reactions are sick bro , need more dave
I have so many that got blocked from CZcams. But I’m still trying to upload everyday. I’m not giving up. We just getting started boss!! Thanks
you need to watch his fire in the booths.
He wants to encourage you to learn more, that's his whole point throughout his entire body of work. We've all been miseducated and that's why society is fucked, so let's educate ourselves to help eachother.
Yep..... We about to go to class whenever akala gets on the mic 😂... Ignore the shut talkers and remember that taking the piss out of someone is often a term of endearment reserved for friends here in the UK! 😘 xx
Should do a reaction to songer sunrise session. Some of the best current bars in UK
🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏thanks Cliff 😊
Bro a dyson is a hover company that’s it like one of the best about
Dyson is a type of vacuum cleaner.
Dyson is a vacuum manufacturer in the uk
🔥🔥🔥 I also requested for this 🔥🔥🔥
*The Dark Lady* his novel, his book.
*"Man wrote a whole novel blud. Mad."*
Dyson a portable hoover!!
There's literally a picture of a hoover (Vaccum) when he says your bars 'suck like a dyson' haha. I feel for you trying to catch this man... Been listening to this dude since I was 16 and It's still hard to catch some of his bars!
This was one of my first UK reactions. Like literally the first video/ introduction into the UK rap scene. I was thrown into the deep end. I don’t remember this one but I’m going back over all of them from the beginning now that I have the UK ear and understand the terminology
If you haven't already, you should watch the uk series "TOP BOY".. It should help you to understand typical UK phrases and accents. But overall, Top Boy is an incredible series, even Drake had them renew another season cause he loved it that much!
Loving the UK reactions pal and enjoy you trying to relate/understand some of English references. I watch a lot of reactors, especially Americans riding the UK train and I'm working through your videos so you're doing something right for me. If you've not done Dave - Black (live from The Brits) get on that and thank me later. Appreciation from Manchester, UK!
My first experience with him! Thanks for introducing me now I have to add another artist to my spotify😂😂😂
Check out his songs "thieves banquet" and "find no enemy", both amazing songs, you won't regret it. Thieves banquet has a lyrics video, the other one im not sure... Please react to them!! I already follow you for a while and usually I like your reactions!!
Lowkey feat Faith SFX- Alphabet Assassin ( not bar heavy but it’s his version of murdering the whole alphabet from a-z.)Also the beat is by Faith SFX who is a beatboxer.
Chester P - Fire in the streets
He does teach a harverd and Oxford university
Yessssss bro glad you got this one thru🔥🔥🔥🔥👆👆👆👆 great reaction bro 😎💯💯hopefully it will let you load a few more, the wretch ones absolute 🔥🔥🔥 also check out the krept and konan FITB 🔥🔥💯💯loads of word play 🔥🔥the FITB should be less likely to get blocked 💯💯🔥🔥one love
I’m trying as best as I can. I have like 15 videos pending. I’ll keep trying. AKALA is just too smart for the booth 😂🙏🔥🤯
@@CliffBeatsOfficial keep on it bro, great reactions 🔥🔥I can imagine that must be so frustrating bro🤞🤞🤞 for you 💯💯🔥one love
@@CliffBeatsOfficial its well worth checking out akala interviews on good morning Britain on knife crime, and you will see the other side to him other than rapping, well worth a watch for context on akala haha I think he definitely deserves the goat title 🔥🔥💯💯
4:41 LMAO
WOW. What more could be said.
Nothing. He used every word in the dictionary lol
Listen to some aitch ..start with straight rhymes..then 101 bars ,mice and his newer stuff you'll probably understand his manchester accent better . And hes pretty good ..dude got bars he got a daily duppy too .also did a 1extra on BBC with kenny allstars.. just a newer version of fire in the booth,,,he was only 17 ..maybe 18 at most when he did this free style , does 2 verses both 🔥🔥,,and if your uo for more wretch have a listen to his daily duppies..specially redemption,,the word play in that one is genius and his other one ..the whole scheme is a double about either a women or a book !! Pure word play to do a full verse as a double on women/books. Like to hear your take on his daily duppies ..peace ppl
Maybe check either his carried away or find no enemy tracks to see a different side of Akala.
I’ll definitely check more of his music. He’s not really a rapper he is a historian 😂. I respect it 🙏
I love Carried Away
😯🤯🤪
💯🔥
🤣😂🤣
Akala fitb part 1 is still my favourite from him, give it a listen
Do swiss - daily duppy next
Ok it's Akala today👍xx
The beauty of not understanding something is that we can learn it. You probably don't understand it as much as you don't understand sewing a shirt together but I'd bet you could easily sew a suit together if you want to.
This is what it looks like when an american is learning something outside there country :):). im busting your chops as thats the uk way but good reaction :)
Glad you enjoy me messing up! This is the reaction I wanted to get from people and to truly learn over time your culture. I appreciate your feed back my man 🙏
crazy to me as a londonder that anyonr wld have a hard time understanding akala
He is Fire! 🔥💯🤟
Grm daily = Grime daily
Dyson is a vacuum cleaner brand that came from UK
What make is the hoover that you use? Probably a dyson
🤘😎🤘❤️🇯🇵
Check swiss daily duppy
At least you try my guy... 😎👌
Good reaction .
Can you react to ocean wisdom EYE CONTACT guaranteed you won't understand a word but it's quality 😂
OFB daily duppy react to that☮️
Never apologise for not catching every reference. I’ve been listening to the Chronic since 91 and I’m still catching nee stuff.. and that’s not even a bar heavy album 😂
Dark lady the novel he said
Have to understand I can’t hear with his accent. Very difficult for someone who doesn’t hear it at all. But I appreciate you correcting me. Thanks 🙏
@@CliffBeatsOfficial I hear you bro I struggle with accents from the uk and I’m from the uk 🇬🇧😂😂👍🏼
@@krislaight5781 much love 🙏
You should also check out ‘ghetts’ ,his daily duppy is brilliant and word play is 💯
Bro you should react to either akalas fire in the booths or bugzy malones🔥🔥keep grinding 💪💪from the UK
Please react to part 1 and 2 Akala
Also Akala Cypher and Mic Rightoues part 3,4
Dyson is a brand of vacuum cleaner
Dyson.... Vacuum cleaner
Dyson - a vacuum cleaner
*"Duppying everyone's Duppy"*
Duppy is a Jamaican term for ghost or spirit... Daily Duppy. Killing beats daily, and killing the previous MC or Rapper that came on before.
*"Don't know if you know that is a spirit."*
Bars....then sacrificing your daughter....
*TO MUCH BARZZZZZ!*
He raps in double time on purpose. It’s overt so you have to pay attention. Like Public Enemy used to do with the horns/sirens.
Like the saying goes “If he’s rapping to fast means your listening to slow” Take your time with it.
check out 'screw face capital' by Dave !
Have a listen to Kamakaze Jon Snow for some more Game Of Thrones fire 🔥
Never be afraid to not catch the bars. UK slang is difficult even if you live here. All of the lyrics are on a website called genius lyrics so you can look them up after each reaction and check out the slang you don't know on something like urban dictionary. www.google.com/amp/s/genius.com/amp/Akala-daily-duppy-2020-lyrics
It great that you're trying. It will get easier.
Duppy in this sense to erase someone... to kill em on the track. Make them a ghost. From Jamaica originally though yeah
This was my introduction to the UK when I started the channel. I never even heard a UK accent before this. Well, I think I did one song from Dave and was struggling. I’ll have to revisit these now that I’m familiar with terminology and I can hear through accents better
BRAINTAX | RODNEY P | BLAK TWANG | WILEY
Dyson is a brand of Vacuum cleaner. Probably the biggest brand in the world
From Britain. Not here in America..
Kirby will be known more in the states compared to Dyson
No offense to anyone else but the British school system is very good about worldwide knowledge. You find that a lot with UK artists they speak a lot more on worldwide issues, American artists mostly speak about how much money they have or hood stuff which everyone can understand. Just my opinion.
Dude, fuck those hatin' on you. US hip hop is obviously more prevalent in the UK than UK hip hop is in the US, so obviously we have an easier time understanding you. Plus there are more varied accents in the UK, so one second you think you got it then the next you get someone from fucking Bristol on the mic or something and you're thrown off. It's still an entertaining reaction regardless, so don't let these fools get to you. Keep up the god work dude :D
Lets see how you get on
Your issue is you are familiar with American English which is a lot slower than British English. I seriously would suggest watching a few British TV shows to get used to the speed. The slang will come with time. Great reaction
Dyson = vacuum cleaner brand
Nice reaction bro! If you get a chance check out fredo - daily duppy he never misses
Dappy trill
Wretch 32 his and hers perspectives
Avelino ft Dave Cassius clay

Not sure if you are familiar with the Wu Tang Clan brotha
Please react to fire in the booth part 1 by akala. Shows the progression a d its a bit slower
Akala is Professor and teaches at various schools. He has 2 doctorates. He literally has people studying his writings around the world. Also you need to try and learn the difference between hiphop and grime as you will struggle with some UK artists as they don't rap in the same pockets as hiphop. If you can get used to it then you won't believe the levels to a Grime MC. I'm not saying Akala is grime but this definitely over 140 bpm
Much appreciated on that background. I’ll have to come back to Akala after learning more about the UK
A Dyson is a vacuum real top one that y it sucks cos there best hovers going ye
New subscriber here :)
It was a bit cruel getting you into Akala so early on into your deep dive into UK rap/ hop and grime.
Here's a few you'll appreciate

You are a life saver! They threw me into the deep end 😂. I took a screenshot and will react to all of these over time. Thanks you! 🙏
@@CliffBeatsOfficial I got you my guy :)
These are a range of different UK styles some have heavy Jamaican patois which is something your ear will get used to, along with jungle, afrobeats influences . Some will fave cultural and social references, others political. It's a good assortment . The further you go into UK rap/ grime/ hip hop ( and drill if you chose to) the easier it will become as you pick up knowledge and get used to the different accents. Most of these artist are from the London region, but Lady Leshur ,for example, is from Birmingham so has a distinctively different accent.
Anyway, if you get stuck....you can always ask :)
There are tons of UK bars as good as Akala you Americans just don't know
Good try. This is a difficult one to start with. Don't give up on Akala. FITB Part 1 and 2 are easier to catch.
