a lot of people think Ed is the generic pop star, but he really started out around the UK Grime scene, some of his first performances were at rap venues. he was out here with rifts everything from rap, reggae and dancehall blowing the crowd away with nothing but a guitar. he's someone who genuinely loves and appreciates the culture

Jaykae - toothache is a no brainer if you want to listen to a bit of him. Also would probably be a good idea to go and look at some of Ed's early SBTV sessions with Devlin and his sessions, you'll get more of an idea how Ed came up in the grime era alongside some big names

the "half a billi on the divide tour" is potentially one of the biggest flexes in all hip hop. That's such a big number. Most flexes are talking about millions or maybe 10s of millions of dollars. This is so much more than that. It's wild.

Ed Sheeran loves music, period. He's done tracks with opera singers, metal core bands, Beyonce, grime artists, folk singers. People also sleep on how many songs He's written for other artists. He's like the new Prince....nobody really realizes how multifaceted they are.

Someone already mentioned it, but “you need me, I don’t need you.” That’s the song to check out. Especially the “live at Bedford” performance. It’s fire 🔥

YOOO SCRU! Ed has been a rapper since the beginning when he used to busk-rap, you have to see "You need me i don't need you" by ed , it's a masterpiece

There's a version of this song where it's just ed and stormzy going back to back. It's lovely

Ed Sheeran - You Need Me I Don't Need You on SBTV was his first track that put him on the stage. His style switching on that track is definitely a testament to his versatility out the gate. Worth a reaction for sure.

What I love about Ed is that he'll get on a track with artist less known and give them the space to shine.

Ed started his career in UK Hip Hop/Grime, he's been a part of the scene since early man, don't sleep on man like Ed!

I wish I could like this video twice. Definitely need more Edd on the channel. You need me I don't need you in the live room. Wow its amazing

i first heard ed as a kid like 2008 or something he always rapped he's been an all round songwriter musician. watching him blow up like he has is amazing just a quiet kid from south england big-up

Them moves at the end had me rollin 😂 Super heavy groove in the beat, Ed went crazy on this one 😂

Ed is wellllll respected in the grime/hip hop scene over here. He started off with these guys

Toothache by Jaykae is a must fr, its a classic. If you're struggling with the strong brummie accent bring up the lyrics, don't let it go over your head🤣

Ed and Stromzy are a crazy combo! I NEED TO SEE YOU REACT TO "TOBE NWIGWE | AT THE CRIB FEST PERFORMANCE 2021" BEST performance I've seen in a long time!!! Keep going Scru! 🔥

The vibe in this musicvideo is a whole vibe in itself 🔥 They obviously had fun shooting it 💯

Jaykae - Toothache 💯 50Cent featured the song on power

Ed’s came up through the grime scene I remember him and Devlin (Grime MC) spitting bars on the street back in the day before he blew up

😂😂 made me giggle that dance at the end tho comedy 👏🏻😂

Mate, SBTV performance of 'you need me man I don’t need you'. Your mind will be blown.

You def got to do more Jaykae. Toothache, Heartache, Hoods Hottest, Shush (his Wiley and Dot Rotten diss). His fire in the booth is pretty good too. Love the UK reactions keep them coming 🇬🇧

For the Americans specifically Ed started on a channel called SBTV check it out his early stuff is him rapping

ed sheeran has become the ULTIMATE FEATURE. boi can do anything

Absolutely HAVE to do JAYKAE - Toothache. His best song 100% Could also do On the Way Home - Jaykae & Aitch

Ed was in the bits before he blew up, he is well respected within the UK Hiphop/Grime.

Definitely need more aitch reactions!

Yeah Scru you need to check out You Need Me I Don't Need You by Ed. Either the live room, or it's at the start of his live in Dublin set. Also would love to see you react to Own It by Stormzy feat Ed & Burna Boy for a bit of a style change up

I know right, my reaction to Ed's rap, I couldn't even notice when I started dancing to the beat 🔥🔥❤️

Aitch is very smooth, cute/sweet and pretty laid back. And he's young! His lil sister recently passed away (he sings a song Lil G or something about his sister who had down syndrome).

I love his old collaborations. Like Ed Sheeran ft. Devlin! Fire! 🔥🔥

Loving the energy, love the Ed reactions!!!

Bam bam - voice of the streets freestyle 🙏💥

Heck yeaaah i've been waiting for this one

You a real one Scru! I hit the comments with this on the last Ed vid and you came through QUICK with it!! Love!

Jaykae - toothache that's has to be the next jaykae track you do!!! And big up Ed sheeran most versatile artist going put him on anything he makes it bang!

That dance was an added bonus ! 😆👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thanks -x-

Who remembers, Ed Sheeran - The Nandos Skank 🔥😅

also unrelated, but you straight see the boys ALL swtched up sharing that neon orange puffer jacket throughout the take its just great lmao

Every now and then I come back to this video. One of your best reactions so far

Your energy on these reactions make the songs better!

Re watch it again and again….love it👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻🥂🙏

Rap battle between ed sheeran and Devlin. That is something special, look it up dude. Having drinks after a show rap battling, freestyle with the guitar

Ed was huge into Eminem growing up. He even said that rapping his songs helped him with his stammering issues.

Jaykae and ghetts have a song called Mozambique it's lit!!!!

okay your dancing just made my whole day guy!!! big love from Canada. I gotta follow you on Ed Sheeran now

listen to Ed Sheeran and Russ - Are You Entertained and Ed Sheeran - Eraser you'll love these songs Scru, 100% fucking percent. Ed also started off in the grime scene. He shifted to pop once his songs started blowing up a little but he stayed in touch with Grime throughout.

ED & Stormzy basically celeb best friends bro! 🤟🏻🥃🇬🇧

Great reaction. Absolutely loved it.

You crack me up, busy in out at the end. Yehhhh boyyyy. 🤣

The outro on that spyro mix is a belter 🕺

This is the best reaction I’ve seen from anyone in a while… I had no idea Ed Sheeran was a rapper too. This is so cool I admire him even more now.

When I first got onto uk music this was one of my first listened to it for months. We need some more Aitch- Learning Curve is newer crazy video

JayKae - Toothache is such a must Scru

Ed songs to check out - Are you not entertained - You need me I don't need you on SBTV - Ed early songs/sessions with devlin or wretch

This shit was too funny🤣🤣"Ed is with the goonies"🤣

Best collaboration in time. I’m from London and these lot together are fire 🔥 smooth as fook!… 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love how they’re just whipping a $500,000 truck around the mud and dirt like it’s a 2005 Jeep lol.

Loved writing this with them!

Ed is a pop star that can chop and is a metalhead. Dudes got mad tastes

Fire song…fire reaction. Needed this today bruv!

I listen to this soooooo much when it came out.

Can’t wait for that Scru’d up!

i heard "sound of the surf" in the background in the beginning and knew it was a Sir Spyro remix dope stuff.

Put me on to some new that I didn't know I ever needed! The last 2 Ed songs 🔥🔥

Scru needs to react to Ed Sheeran - "You Need Me, I Don't Need You"

I have had that song on my playlist for weeks

Scru you gotta react to Ed Sheeran - You Need Me, I Dont Need You(Live Studio) using the loop pedal and rapping too and he got BARS

I still like this song till this day! Going to listen to this again 😌.

Now you need to do Stormzy ft Burna Boy & Ed Sheeran - Own It

Lots of shouts out to ed. He came through the scene. Great react big man

Yeah Ed,s first big hit was him rapping: song " you need but I don't need you"

Ed damn near Scru's favourite rapper by now 😭💯

8:32 That dancing at the end of the video GOT ME 🤣

Ed been rapping. Honestly the closest I’ve seen him go to just fully dive in was his recent verse with Russ on “Are You Not Entertained”. Nuts

Awesome reaction man, I fucking love this Song They Killed it, thanks for reminding me of this!

That dance at the end just amazing 🤣

You need to here Own it Stromzy and Ed 💪🏻💪🏻❤️

this absolute fire my dude

You can see in the clip that ED was having so much fun filming that

This beat crazyyyy

Ed Sheeran is a chameleon! His live shows are the best you will see!

Jaykae - Toothache is a must it was in power.

ed sheeran's old OLD stuff was rapping, but he never really gained traction until he started out with that 'a team' stuff. he's always given space on his platform for the young gun boys from the UK to get their deserved time behind the mic. but on the reAL... fk yes to ed sheeran supporting and giving an ✨ AUTHENTIC ✨ platform for these grime and rap artist to flex and lowkey destroy the american rap game. this is such a good mix and aitch EATS every beat you give him i swear down, if you havent you MUST hit up aitch and ay tracey - rain, and aitch's track - make it shake

Hahaha loves the vibezzz❤

The song makes me feel like flying to London town.

Energyyy with tha bop

As a south Londoner this track always makes me smile 😊
