A grand don't come for free deserved a movie with it like "Plan B - ill manors". Easily in the top 3 albums to come out of the UK imo.

The whole album A Grand don’t come for free was one whole story and it is so amazing. One of the songs Dry your eyes is one of the most honest songs I’ve ever heard.

British Weather, British Food and British Women made British Men the greatest sailors in history

One of my favorite hip hop artists of all time. I enjoyed your reaction video. I was lucky enough to see The Streets live in Chicago back in the early 2000's, amazing performance.

Quality reactions. Loving it as a UK man. Glad I found you.

got to love streets stories at the best old school

A grand don't come free one of the best albums I've listioned to bk in the day♥️💗👌👌👌

So this comes from a Concept Album, and it’s an amazing story from first track to last. I highly recommend checking it full listen.

Yooooo...I haven't heard this for time!! What a tune, hits on different levels...used to listen to this when I came home high and drunk af and fall asleep to it!!! I was already subscribed before this but would have subscribed just FOR this!! 👍👊✌❤

Wow this takes me back the streets are a different class!

Mike Skinner/The Streets is without a doubt a legend. Most people do find his style of rapping bad at first but there's something about him where his style just grows on you, in particular the theme of alot of his songs, he has an ability to paint a picture of what he's saying. That along side his style of off beat production, it shouldn't work but it does on so many levels!

The Mitchell Brothers did a remix of this on a mixtape they released back in the day. Absolute Iconic Song this is, I was about 18 when this came out, peak times

Dope !! Been a fan of his foe years!!

Song is so Iconic man, would love to see any big artist rework it or sample the beat.

Sorry, but this does not need an 'Artist' / rapper to cover this beat. This version is perfect thank you.

This track is dope as f man…..one of my favourite tunes ever…..this was a HUGE track in the UK when it came out man……resonates with so many peoples lives/experiences in clubs in the UK man

Its not for everybody but he caught a very particular group of people in a particular time. It was real and it hit hard. Makes me feel young again.

This song is deep it’s a reflection of youth looking for something in life

This song was THE song of my year at 09/20 when I was constantly chewing my eyebrows off, incredible memories

This is a real classic.. it was huge

Mike Skinner is a legend , done early tracks with a load of Grime MCs - Pranging out MC mic - Nite Nite - Kano ft Streets - Mitchell Brothers , Kano and the Streets - Routine Check

Mike is spitting on it 🎉🎉 it's a masterpiece I love the song 🤜🤛

Song 🔥🔥🔥 This video always pranged me out, thought it should of been in a actual club pumping! 😂 Reaction 🔥

Still love this tune🙌 big time memories

great vid man

The streets are massive in the UK mainly earlly 2000's but this is the roots of London rap for me just a whole different vibe with it, late night chill music man

Sick channel you really get uk culture

The song playing in the background at the beginning of the video is 'Routine Check' by The Mitchell Brothers feat. Kano. A great song that I've not seen anyone react to yet & The Mitchell Bros are slept on hard, they were signed to Mike Skinner (The Streets) label & released 2 albums. Check out their first 'A Breath of Fresh Attire'.

That album is still his best work. Love how the songs are all tied together and reference each other and tells an over-arching story. His girlfriend is sleeping with his friend. He thinks it is the Molly messing with him when he sees her kissing his friend. Other songs on the album deal with him figuring it out and dealing with his friend stabbing him in the back.

Loved the album , its a story from start to finish.

Mike Skinner (The Streets) has a totally unique style. Great stuff. All of his songs, and his albums as well, are stories. This one is about his girl and his boy getting together behind his back, and him getting more and more wasted while he tries to find them. When he finally sees them, he's so hammered he doesn't realize what is going on. The album is about how he loses a grand, finds a girl, suspects his friends about the money, loses the girl (to his friend), then finds the money where he misplaced it :)

grew up on this, reminds me of my party years, south london best night out.

We be wilding here in the UK. When i was a teenager in the late 80's / early 90's we started drinking in the pub at 14 years old. Rarely got refused, if ever.

The album is a whole story - loved it.

This album is a fkn masterpiece. I wrote an essay about the story for an English assignment while at school.

This song makes me wanna get on it mate 👌

A glimpse into British culture - a wedding, girlfriend with best friend, drug alcohol fighting. Multigenerational chaos.

Yeeeeesssss

The Streets still going ❤❤❤

Hell yeah, I heard this song from Kidulthood as well. The song Katie plays before she hangs herself is also by The Streets. It’s called Stay Positive. Great tune.

Used to play this when I was at school. Real deep track.

A grand don't come for free is one of the most well put together albums of the last twenty years. A great story.

He's new record just came out and it's got some gems

I think it is best to listen to this song with no video as I think most of us have been in the same situation and listening with no video it takes me back..

Mike Skinner is a Genius! Being from Brum also I really feel connected to man... real poetry... real relatable.

This was a massive tune over here. I think I was about 10 or 11 when this album came out and my parents played it to death, specially this tune got played on mtv through the night years after it came out. Still a classic album!

@@internationalferg I've seen from your other videos this ones a tad different from your usual style but if you ever get the chance check out their first two albums "original pirate material" and "a grand don't come for free" both solid 10 out of 10s. His story telling is on another level.

tbf this is a an absolute banger in the whip the beat goes hard

Life here is tough and gritty. That why our artistic contributions often have that vibe. The closest i can compare it to is new york. It got that same grimey gritty vibe. So yeah we do grow up fast. Also our age limits are lower for most things. Sex at 16, Drink and smoke at 18 (smoking was 16 when kidulthood was released) . We start school earlier and finish earlier (16, but has changed to 18 for kids starting now).

Who’s gonna tell this dude about The Prodigy’s Smack my B Up if he thinks this vid is shocking 😂

This song was quite big back then,n yeah you're right about uk being quite dark n bleak.this tune is about that part of an ecstasy buzz when your jaw biting out your head.

This is one of the all time UK classics

This is a classic

I've witnessed many wedding party's just like this.

The streets albums both original pirate material and a grand don't come for free reminds me of my teen years the mid 2000s and also plan B -paint it blacker

the man is a legend ....trust

3:23 bro you his this right on the head. Gloomy days and taking drugs. A great British pastime

Best way to describe the streets “cult classic not best seller”

a lot of architecture in Britain is old as well, gives it that vibe

It's best to listen to the whole album. It tells the story of a bloke who loses a grand, meets a las l, gets bored of her, goes on holiday has an affair, comes home, gets mashed in a club whilst his las cops off with his mate, misses breaks up with him and it ducks him up. His loses his mates and his TV breaks. He sits down and has a can of special and realises if he wasn't a twat his day would better. Through some magic time get redone and he realises if he is fair with his mates he'll keep them. Also if he doesn't lose his shit with the TV man, the TV man tells him that an envelope with a grand has fallen with his TV. Essentially his misses has left him but at least hes found his grand so sweet. Theres also a bit about betting and forgetting to fill in the form correctly and nearly losing money ... But yeah listen to the album it's pretty good story

You should totally react to Kano ft. The Streets - nite nite Kano has also been on at least two the Streets remixes, "fit but you know it" and "get out of My House". He has also covered "has it come to this" and on top of that they featured together in other artists songs like the Mitchell brothers

UK is dark, but deep. Comes with a culture that’s thousands of years old and a big population stuck on a small island. Our culture has layers like most countries don’t

This song is a masterpiece

Bashy my nightmare - killed this beat

I was 18 from Kentucky and saw his video on fuse or MTV in '02 or '03. His first album Original pirate material is good, but his 2nd A grand don't come free was amazing. This is a track that's always gonna sound great from the beat alone. Still like Mike Skinner.

Garage and Grime wouldn’t be what it is today without skinner and the streets.

Can't remember if it got number one but it was a massive hit with alot of generations. My mum loved it

Kids is a classic movie always loved that movie..was big in the uk, I guess we vibed with the realness

Every time I hear it I want to drop an oldschool pill or 2

It was such a big tune. It was out wen i was 18 n had my first house used to take tons of pills to it

It's all about transition. Stacy was the ultimate,on her own. Then she moved into the clubs, and she mixed with alcohol..then she was introduced to Joe snow.. And that was that. Long, long time before those movies. Original crew, original ravers. 88-94. ☂️

Its a great track, i can just picture it in my head, its part of a concept album and its actually set in the nightclub not a wedding, music clip is recorded at the wedding, not sure why.

" ever see that one movie kids " quote Dr Dre

A grand don't come for free album is a story from beginning to end. Skinners a genius with words

the tune at the start of this is called "routine check" by the mitchel brothers ft. mike skinner

This was very very big this blasted out is something you don't hear often almost dubstep

I put this album up on any hip hop album ever, stay positive is probably the dopest lyrics ever in hip hop

I love the streets. The more you listen, you will too.

You're going deep. The Mitchell Brothers next.

Mike Skinner is one of (if not the) best MC’s the UK has ever had…..his style was so unique and brilliant

The streets are absolutely legends in the UK no one else like them
