      I can not understand it as well. Plan B could be more famous as he is because he is a King of the quality in everything he is doing !!!!!! I am polish living in Berlin Germany , hope I will listen to him live one day.

    How is he not bigger than he should be most underrated artist

    • @kiely4561
      @kiely4561 Před 4 lety +4

      when he first hit the uk scene back in 2009-10 he was pretty big in this country to be fair, he lost alot of momentum having such a long hiatus out of the game

    • @CarinaGB
      @CarinaGB Před 3 lety +1

      Yeah he should be. He's very underrated , he was very successful here in the UK but he had six years out and I missed his new album for example due to lack of marketing. He is amazing regardless and his new album is unreaaaal!

    Seriously respect Drew! One hundred percent real....none of that fake ass spotlight bullshit. People evolve and change, I feel like he has put his heart into this industry and finally getting what he originally went into music for. He's eloquent about all of the school stuff and speaks the truth...none of the politicians truly understand what it's like being an ordinary person! Thanks NME for a fantastic, honest and truly inspiring interview. ☺️🇬🇧

    This dude is amazing, his words and music are awesome and will be remembered for a long time! My girlfriend, she is from Australia, has worked with a lot kids in different schools in London and yeah, they had never seen a beach, the ocean. What is so cool is that when she took them to the ocean, all the kids where so happy, that they jumped in the water, all dressed and had a blast! Isn t it simple? Ben is right when he says that this is all about? Peace

    My problem with Bens views on the East End and Conservatism is this, my entire family for four generations lived in East London both Poplar and the Isle of Dogs, they are from Romanian and Polish origins prior to WW1 but for those who are still alive, all vote Conservative. They grew up in London when poor meant literally having nothing to eat, or wear on your feet, but made it up the ladder through hard work and commitment.

      It is his accent. It's where he is from. He's from North East London. Do you insult others? Why do they speak like that? Honestly, we all have different accents, different pronunciations. We're a very diverse country with mixed social classes. I'm also from North East London, I used to speak the same then I moved to Brighton and now I have a Southern accent but damn, my London still comes out. Don't be so ignorant.
