I don't remember when but akala was talking about how his inspiration for the pursuit of knowledge comes from listening to wu tang clan

"Sorry kids let me apologise before I go further, unfortunately I don't rap about how many mans I've murdered" You know it's a fucking raw track if the first line goes in

4 years ago and still listen regularly to this

The best video sbtv ever uploaded

Akala should be well known by the youth. But unfortunately he doesn't spit about shanks, gold chains and drive byes, so doesn't get the respect he truly deserves.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

This man is a genius. Just listen to the message. And to have the skill to put that message across in such a technical flow is the mark of real talent. Big Up Akala.

He really makes you think. We need more people like him, talented and outspoken, for advocating the spreading of knowledge.

Something in my mind flipped when I heard this. Thank you Akala and thank you, Jamal. RIP

The older I get the more I appreciate this.

2021 and this is still relevant.

Does anybody really see that Akala was rapping for almost 5 minutes straight without any hooks. That in itself is amazing. Then factor in the actual depth of his lyrics, Akala shouldn't have any down votes but I realize that there's always going to be haters.

his deliverance is sharp, even if you just came to check him out "for the sake" of it, you're drawn in instantly. The truth!

i remember the day this dropped. i learned every word and instantly grew hungrier for all that knowledge. the impact of this F64 was historical.

Not listened to this in a couple years, I’ve been sleeping fam. Can’t wait for a new Akala album in 2020

The MasterClass in rap

"better than no one on this earth, and I know I'm not. But I refuse to play small just to fit in your box" - 10 years later and the issues still remain the same. Akala changed lives when he brought his lyrics to surface.

Big love for Akala man. Man knows his shit. Leading the way all day. Nothing but REAL TALK!! Don't just hear...listen and comprehend...How he comes up with his shit is simply mind blowing....KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!

who are the 149 mugs that disliked this? this is real hip hop and rap. preach akala.

one day i will blaze with this man. rare to find rappers with a degree of real intelect like this. guys a genius...seriously

Akala is brilliant, and yeah this is so refreshing. I am sure we have all become fed up of MCs talking about how much of a 'G' they are. These fake hood videos with rented Mercedes, BMWs and Bentleys. All this whilst they still live on a council estate, and we are supposed to buy into that shit? Come on now.

I have met Akala he came to my collage for a session for 3 hours or so to talk and he is so intelligent and knows a lot about our British history and Mayans, Egyptians and so on serious look into him.

2021 still amazing 🔥🔥🔥

I saw this guy live a few years ago....he legit blew my mind

Akala's legacy still lives on....

This guy was so ahead of his time. Just like all true hip hop. Timeless revolutionary music. Dumbed down by the industry.

Dats a real G right there!!! Big up!!....

Listening in 2019, and I feel it's more relevant now than 2010.

This is hip hop pure and dimple truth

the flow and lyricism is effortlessly just great!!!

Love this, his commentary on the lyrical subject matter, meanings and purposes in the rapping of what seems to be the majority of rappers nowadays is just so true and to the point

FInally hit a Million and deserves triple that. Nice to see progress still being made nearly 4 years after release.

We need more rappers like his, he has flow and talks about hings that everyday people can relate to, unlike 99% of other so called MC's out there.

Needs to be more rappers like this guy. pretty much summaries everything wrong with most rappers these days. Him and Lowkey doing it properly!

legendary had me doing all sorts of research afterwards

I've listened to this several times. I've shared it several times as well. I think if everyone who listens should share this with at least one person who doesn't know about Akala. This alone would make this world better

"I'm done with the lies, third eye open wide!" too conscious xD

Raaa, the first bar was hard and set the tone. It's a shame more musicians don't pump the same message or kids would actually be different nowadays....

literally the most intelligent musician of all time. that's not my opinion that's an actual scientifically proven fact. changed my life when I was a kid. I was a lost kid responding to my environment in all the wrong ways. Akala took all my built up anger and sadness and showed me where it should of been directed. crazy that he's had such a big impact on my life and subsequently everybody else around me and he will never even know my name.

Man this brings back memories, first ever mentor made me listen to this track and changed my whole perspective of life. Age 12 I believe...

Goes in real talk rapper big skills and profound words

Akala is so underrated! Thumbs up if he needs to be more recognized!

Akala=GOAT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love the message here. It still amazes me that there aren't more rappers out there who truly feel like this. Bristol won't seem to lend itself to this much real. Not sure why, people can't transcend their egos maybe.
