Skinny is a very generous and kind soul, he took me on tour as a DJ when I was fresh out of uni at the peak of UK hiphop. I learnt a lot very fast about gigs and being on the road. It was an amazing experience, I hope one day as grown man to thank him for the opportunity.

The best British MC toever pick up a mic. Don't get me wrong, the kids nowadays have moved it forward, but he's the greatest and council estate of mind still stands up as a stone cold classic.

I don't know about the rest of the UK/world but why dont' we have people like Skinnyman in Parliament? Seriously? A proper humanist with a compelling broad and appreciative view of all people, who has ideas of how to make things better! Step aside Boris, you've only been in the job for a couple of days.

Excellent interview, brilliantly hosted. Skinnymans honesty and integrity slaps you in the face.

If I'm ever lucky enough to bump into you skinny I will happily show you some paper, least you deserve for s absolute masterpiece

Love Skinnyman, council estate of mind came out when I was 21 and I loved it then, now I'm 39 and still play it. I saw him at Glastonbury too...

Had the pleasure of chilling with this gentleman in Amsterdam and in London .. Skinnyman is a real one.

I couldn't be happier seeing is awesome smile, brings me so much joy man, I'll always be rooting for Skinny. I hope he sees this.

very educated, articulated, intelligent man. legend

You gotta fucking love Skinny. I love the way he’s always prepared to question things and speak out &, even when I don’t 100% agree with him, I love how he looks at things. He just has a great ability to evaluate things and has no chip on his shoulder. He’s one of these guys who can slip into almost any social environment and he would get along.

Thanks for sharing those stories skinny. Really interesting watch. I can’t wait for your new music. Met you a couple times at the freestyles and at one of Chester’s gigs and you were always a top bloke! Inspiring music too!

Living legend, childhood hero. Loved this.

Much love skinny and great podcast in general. Skinny will always be that guy for me who introduced me to ukhh and made me feel comfortable rapping in an English accent at a time where I had no access to any hiphop outside of hmv, hhc and Westwood.

Found skinny man from the tower block dreams episode 1 and glad I did cause he’s a legend can’t believe I never heard of him

I was black 14 listening to taz klashnekoff sway my boy brought this album around from hmv I was unsure at first! Track 2 fuck the hook played 🔥 then he played me council estate of mind!

Told this story a few times recently but one of my best mates (Craig B. from Lincolnshire, Blunt Smoke Crew!) used to hang with Skinny a bit back when he was really popping off (I remember seeing him myself with Mud Family at Fresh '98)....they were outside his block and Skinny had like an hour or summat to be in the studio to lay down a track. He gave one of the little youths from his ends a fiver to get him some chicken rice and peas and the kid goes to get his food. My mate said skinny had this battered Poska and a big-ish piece of cardboard he's found, thinks for a few minutes then starts writing. Little youth came back with the food in about twenty-odd minutes and Skinny had written a FULL TUNE. Not just a verse, but like three verses AND choruses. Had time to roll and smoke a spliff before the munchies came through too. Myself I saw him go through about 12 emcees like a knife through butter, when freestyle WAS FREESTYLE--Skinnyman can go on for fucking DAAAYYYSSSSS MAN. OH--and he fucking BODIED COMMON--ON MAN'S OWN STAGE!!!!

@@The-X-Territory Unfortunately was not there for the Common gig (never rated him too hard, tbh) but Skinny's absolute destruction of Common on the mic became the stuff of legends. Ask any old head from that time (I think it was '99/2000) and they'll tell you how Common's face started to slowly, almost imperceptibly fall as he realised this wasn't some fucking amateur. I think he could have done one on Supernatural and taken his ring off him. Not that ring, his ITF ring, you dirty bastards EDIT: Yo, anyone readin this I'm open to correction, times, dates--I'm startin to doubt myself now that it was actually Skinny who bodied Common and not Chester P. or his Bro? My profuse apologies 'cause I fuckin' rate all those fellows; alst I really rmember that (from scene word of mouth, written reports, cats who were there) that at one point Common got so fucking flustered he came out with "You can't rap anyway, 'cause you're white" which got booed tf by the crowd...seeing as he's kind of just proven he could not only emcee but taken on, and obliterate, one of the most famous rappers in the whole fucking game at that point! No diss intended if it was Chester P. or his Brother's name who I always fucking forget, SORRY 🙏, but I'd love someone to clear this up. I think I was AT the gig when he came back home and asked the crowd who had his album--Big Daddy Kane was on (Rodney P. strutting around like a dick whose head couldn't fit through the door, only giving time to friends from THE LAHNDAHN SCENE and attractive ladies; generally being a real arrogant c**t ) on the bill, my memories scrambled, if you're reading this and remember hit me up, please!
