I am always amazed to hear that this part of history was left out of the education curriculum in this part of the world. Growing up in a British colony we learnt about the history of the British Empire, it's victories in wars and the Royal family. This incomplete history is still a subject choice for some schools today. Now that I'm older and have read more, I understand why some people can say they did not learn most of this at school. But despite that knowledge gap, most of the commentary has been exceptionally positive and encouraging. Thank you everyone for such encouragement to a young man shaping his career and shaking the world at the same time. I salute.

This is one of the most powerful songs humanity's ever produced. There's so much to dissect, regardless of how easy to understand the song is. Shivers down my whole body. Seriously. Dave will forever be the UK's best.

I know many don't know who Jack Merrit is, he was a victim in the London Bridge attack in the U.K. who died. He was a prison rehabilitation officer in the U.K., who had worked personally with Dave's brother who is in jail. He gave Jack's parents tickets to watch this at the BRITs and they had no idea it included that extra verse and were "moved to tears" . Grenfell tower was a tower block in London that went on fire and many people died and left thousands displaced with no hope despite governments empty promises. Windrush generation is also another refrence to a horrifying act by the incapable government.

Media tabloids just were filled with covert racist messages. When compared to Kate, often Megan would be doing the same things but the media would find something to say that subtly referred to her Americaness and why she was so 'different'. It got so bad at one point this led Megan to say something in a documentary about how she was feeling, she said 'its not enough to jsut survive, it's about living to thrive'. This came after Harry feared that Megan life would end the same as his mother princess Diana, because the media scrutiny was related to her death. Ofcourse Diana's reason for beinf bullied was because she didn't come from Royality, Megan on the other hand is her "urbaness". Lol That's the type of shitt they would use in the media when talking about her. After that interveiw, the media was worse than before. Saying that Megan should shutup and take it, since its a privalege to be part of the royal family. The bullying just got worse and continued. I'm glad Megan and Harry got out, I don't think it would've ended well for Megan if she stayed. Hope that explains it.

Imagine seeing your wife everyday trying to keep her head above water which isn't good for anyones mental health and there's nothing you can do about it. Ofcourse you'll make the same choice, if you had a choice. Harry and Megan made this choice together, they are husband and wife. People make Megan some kind of witch who's sole purpose is to break up the royal family. She wouldn't have tried to be a part of it, if that was her goal.

@abso wep this is because black people have had to deal with things that white people will never understand. for example if an orphan said orphans are great, he isn't anti people with parents. your logic, in fact shows how ignorant you are. you see something like this and automatically think its about some you (assuming you are white , which you probably are), no it's about giving hope to those black people who needed to hear this.

Best Brits performance, EVER!

Mr Wilkes Booth because China isn’t as culturally diverse as the west , 1000 years ago we were only just discovering other land masses with different races on them and other countries have the same issues as China . You act as if people nowadays in western culture have never gone outside and seen a person who isn’t white. POC aren’t an unknown in western society; portraying them as some mysterious other is just an excuse to justify unnecessary racism towards POC. also ‘whilst our culture dies’ ? What are you on about lad? The inclusion of other cultures in the western world doesn’t diminish the prominence of your own culture. The western cartoon business isn’t suffering just because anime thrives in America and the UK. Disney isn’t closing shop because ‘your name’ has a western audience. Also what culture?? Correct me if I’m wrong but America doesn’t really have a culture of its own, since it was yknow Europeans on stolen native land. If you have Celtic descent or any culture you can name then why don’t you take part in it Instead of fretting how the acceptance of POC is diminishing your culture.

He stood up and taught us about the history of people. I come back, again and again, to remind myself of how easy I had it even with all my struggles. This song gives me pain I've never known.

@@PerfectSnowball you’ve clearly got too much spare time to be spamming replies to multiple people. Incel weirdo.

He is the best current rapper and he earned that title with We're All Alone In This Together, the best rap album since To Pimp A Butterfly. The craziest thing is that he's just getting started, he is a generational talent in rap, and people need to recognize him the same way we recognized generational talents like Eminem, Tupac, Lil Wayne, and Kendrick in year's past. I have no doubt that by the end of his career he will be one of the best rappers of all time, right there with the names I listed before.

Dave is just a modern 2020 version of what Public Enemy and NWA were saying in 80s and 90s, which if you actually knew hip hop you would understand.

@NotTheBBCNewz How's Dave racist? Come on, don't just say it and have no proof. Where's your proof he's racist? There's loads of proof to back up what he's sayin. Can already tell you got triggered by him because he's black and is educating young people about the shit show that is the government. I bet you call Stormzy a racist aswell for calling out corrupt officials to do with Grenfell... Fucking wake up you sap.

I remember watching this on the night & tonight it still has the same affect. Hairs standing up, being educated & a young man who is so switched on. Keep listening people ❤

Come back to this song every few months or so. Lyrically Dave is in a different league and the piano over the top of this song makes it so much more powerful. Love it

Dave, hands down, the most versatile, and talented individual to come out of the U.K - Not only lyrically, but also his flows. Definition of a true U.K bred Rapper - We are proud to have him represent us!!!

Lyrics: (Source: Genius. Com) [Verse 1] Look, black is beautiful, black is excellent Black is pain, black is joy, black is evident Workin' twice as hard as the people you know you're better than 'Cause you need to do double what they do so you can level them Black is so much deeper than just African-American Our heritage been severed, you never got to experiment With family trees, 'cause they teach you 'bout famine and greed Show you pictures of our fam on their knees Tell us we used to be barbaric, we had actual queens Black is watchin' child soldiers gettin' killed by other children Feelin' sick so quick, this could have happened to me Mummy watchin' tellin' stories 'bout your dad and your niece, listen The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice Kid dies, the blacker the killer, the sweeter the news And if he's white, you give him a chance, he's ill and confused If he's black he's probably armed, you see him and shoot, look [Verse 2] Black is growin' up around the barbershop Mummy sayin', "Stay away from trouble, you’re in yard a lot" Studying for ages, appreciatin' the chance you got 'Cause black is in your blood, and you ain't even got the heart to stop Black is steppin' in for your brothers because your father's gone Standin' by your children when you haven't proven karma wrong Black is doin' all of the above, then go and corner shop Tryna help a lady cross the road to have her walkin' off Black is growin' up around your family and makin' it Being forced to leave the place you love because there's hate in it People say you're faking it, never stay for change in it But black is bein' jealous, you'd be dead if you had stayed in it Black is strugglin' to find your history and tracing it You don't know the truth about your race 'cause they're erasin' it Black has got a really sour flavour, here's a taste of it But black is all I know, there ain't a thing that I would change in it [Verse 3] Look, black isn't a single colour, man, there's shades to it Her hair's straight and thick, but mine's got waves in it Black is not divisive, they been lyin' and I'm hating it Black has never been a competition, we're all making it Black is deadly Black is when you're freezin' in your home and you can't get sleep, but never feelin' empty 'Cause you got twenty cousins in your country living stress-free Walkin' for their water, daughter wrapped inside a bedsheet Black is distant It's representin' countries that never even existed while your grandmother was livin' Black is my Ghanaian brother readin' into scriptures Doin' research on his lineage, findin' out that he's Egyptian Black is people namin' your countries on what they trade most Coast of Ivory, Gold Coast, and the Grain Coast But most importantly to show how deep all this pain goes West Africa, Benin, they called it slave coast Black is so confusin', 'cause the culture? They're in love with it Take our features when they want and have their fun with it Never seem to help with all the things we know would come with it Loud in our laughter, silent in our sufferin' Black is bein' strong inside and facing defeat Poverty made me a beast, I battled the law in the streets We all struggled, but your struggle ain't a struggle like me Well how could it be when your people gave us the odds that we beat? I mean, bloody hell, what about our brothers that are stuck in jail? That couldn't bust a bail, they held a bird and gotta live with it Black is bein' guilty until proven that you're innocent Black is sayin', "Free all my people stuck inside them prison cells" Think it's funny, we ain't got nothin' to say to them Unconditional love is strange to them, it's amazin' 'em Black has really got the sweetest flavour, here's a taste of it But black is all I know, there ain't a thing that I would change in it [Verse 4] It is racist whether or not it feels racist The truth is our Prime Minister is a real racist They say, "You should be grateful we're the least racist" I say the least racist is still racist And if somebody hasn't said it Equality is a right, it doesn't deserve credit Now if you don't want to get it, then you're never gonna get it How the news treats Kate versus how they treated Megan Rest in Peace Jack Merritt, you're my brother in arms There's tears in our eyes and love in our hearts We never had the same background, culture, colour, or past But you devoted your life to giving others a chance And for that, I'm so taken aback Because it gave us all a voice, I have to say it for Jack As a young black man seeing paper and crack Giving tougher sentences, it's just papering cracks All he would want is unity, funding for communities Equal opportunities, people under scrutiny No more immunity, way less hatred More conservation, less deforestation We want rehabilitation, now that would be amazing But Grenfell victims still need accommodation And we still need support for the Windrush generation Reparations for the time our people spent on plantations I'm done

Uk hip-hop surpassed American hip-hop long ago because it is more intellectual and political. I think USA hip-hop became to much about selling record and being shallow to appeal to white audiences. True fact the region in the USA that buys the most hip-hop is Utah one of the whitest regions in the USA because white Americans consume more hip-hop that black people in the USA, which is why mainstream US hip-hop doesn’t say anything political as not to upset their target white audience who want black stereotypes like the mumble rappers and hoes with big butts and boobs like Niki Minaj or Cardi B rapping nonsense
