RyanGiggsOBE The things he's been talking about have been the ways things have been for a very long time. What we're seeing now in the UK? In the 80s, we all knew this would happen if the Tories got back in again. But we also knew that labour were only marginally better... they're all in the hands of big corps... none of them act for us... and that's just the class issue, never mind gender, racialisation, and a million other atrocities we live with today.

The name 'Akala' comes from a Buddhist philosophy. The word itself literally means 'immovable'. When I think of this, it reminds me of Batman. When the Joker says "this is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object". Then I realised I'm just really stoned and played the video on repeat.

I'm pretty sure Akala could go toe-to-toe with any of the American rap legends. Just because he's not world famous means nothing, that's to do with the US rap industry itself having the bigger spotlights shone on it. In terms of raw talent Akala is easily up there with any US legend.
@Rahbekkk
8 жыл бұрын
It's kinda hard to say, most of the US greats have lost their competitive edge due to making millions.. but 90's Nas, Jay, Snoop, Cube and so forth were beasts :) But I feel what you're saying Akala is sooooo slept on. Simply because of his message he is shunned by the corporate music industry.
@captaintaco979

Well the UK grime music is very different than most American rap. Grime is similar to people like Tech n9ne and his chopping style, which is all about fast flows and lyrical skill on the mic. Akala possibly can go toe to toe but it's difficult to say.

I didnt say it was just about blacks so I would agree with that statement but he does also say "but with that said, lets not pretend that everything is the same" which anyone knows clearly means that race trumps class everytime. Working class whites never side with their class allies of other ethnicity's, but they do have a long history of abusing them, attacking them and killing them in many instances. Until we can address the issues of racial hatred class equality among Britains poor will always be a distant ideal.

Bits Rep I would like these countries (Egypt, Syria, Middle East in general) to be as they were during the ancient era in between Roman expansion and the Muslim expansion. Free of Islam and the peoples of these regions having freedom to self determination. Having their golden era of discovery back (Arabic numbers and scientific discovery and such). I believe their prosperity would resolve the burden we're having. But at the risk of being called a conspiracy theorist, that's not in Israels interests and they have the western world leaders at their beck and call

The name 'Akala' comes from a Buddhist philosophy. The word itself literally means 'immovable'. When I think of this, it reminds me of Batman. When the Joker says "this is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object". Then I realised I'm just really stoned and played the video on repeat.

I'm pretty sure Akala could go toe-to-toe with any of the American rap legends. Just because he's not world famous means nothing, that's to do with the US rap industry itself having the bigger spotlights shone on it. In terms of raw talent Akala is easily up there with any US legend.

It's kinda hard to say, most of the US greats have lost their competitive edge due to making millions.. but 90's Nas, Jay, Snoop, Cube and so forth were beasts :) But I feel what you're saying Akala is sooooo slept on. Simply because of his message he is shunned by the corporate music industry.

Just mind blowing. If it were for me i would put him in the top 3 rappers of all time
Inspirational and knowledge about real issues. Educating in such a good way, it just brings out emotional expressions that we are left to otherwise keep suppressed and we get stressed and end up depressed.

Akala just dropped some deep knowledge in this song about poverty, racism and inequality and everyone in the comments decides to have a ''Who's the best rapper'' circle jerk. Akala is trying to send a message to people through his songs and you are all missing the point. It's the same everywhere, people forget what is real and focus on the superficial.

Haha I'm sure some of us are listening and I'm gonna share this. J. Cole, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Tupac, Dizzy Wright, & Immortal Technique speak on similar issues throughout their raps. J. Cole deviates from this type of music at times but only if his label forces him to do so. He's my personal favorite because he's really clever with wordplay.
Read his book - natives : race and class in the ruins of empire.

I bought it last Sunday and finished half of it in one sitting, couldn't sleep that night. Just finished the rest today. Brutal.
