  • I was born and raised in the USA, so I feel like I have no right to suggest these people react to any British media. That being said, why not have them react to Horrible Histories?
  • They must think JME is a hard-man after hearing that song when we all know he is a chill, funny guy
  • @KmegB
    I feel like they did Dizzee Rascal dirty by introducing him with bonkers 😭
  • @Josh-ql3be
    When he says "how can a man with a uni degree be bussin up mics", he's not saying they can't. He's talking about himself.he has a uni degree.
  • @warmkessel100
    This man has killed people 😂😂 JME would never hurt a fly hes the honorary sideman member for a reason
  • @essess733
    Its a shame the interviewer showing them the songs didnt have a clue what he was on about, cant have someone sharing the culture and not even giving the right info.
  • @orfeodrengen
    lmao thinking Headie One sounds like Central Cee and Dave is wild. All of them have such distinct voice features
  • @Scoobay
    British guy just googled the top tracks from these artists and didn’t have a clue what he was talking about.
  • @titusbriggs4492
    Missed with the JME bar. He’s got a degree, one of the reasons he’s saying man don’t care.
  • @AntikDNB
    JME's bars about the university is about him having a university degree but that doesn't mean he has any less street cred because the music is still from the streets. He is Skepta's brother, another UK legend.
  • @ronnie1394
    Never disliked Americans as much as I do today. Thanks React.
  • @raidenafc6576
    He was wrong about the description of the JME bar m. JME is talking about himself, he himself has a uni degree in graphic design
  • @user-vj8tn8rw6v
    giggs: well behaved shy kid jme: this guys killed people... Ironic
  • @roballen2115
    Dave deserves his own track on this, a feature is not enough. No Akala, criminal! Ren. What?
  • @garnold89
    JME has a degree...he's rhetorically saying how can I, with a degree, be the kind of guy that drops bars like this
  • @Sofifis
    "what kind of differences are you seeing in British and American rap?" "I feel like they're different!" - 18:50
  • Never knew that Dizzy Rascal was unknown in the US. He pretty much created and popularised grime in the early 2000s, and his poppier stuff (like Bonkers) has been standard club music for decades now. He's a household name in the UK - as in everyone's grandparents would know the name. I'd say the majority of UK rap is descended from his style.
  • @miadominique3351
    that's not what JME was saying. JME has a degree. this was so wack 😭
  • @xXiiOriGinZXx
    comparing dizzie rascal to tyler the creator is tragic
  • @BarbaraKibira
    One thing I need Americans to free themselves with that UK rappers are NOT criminals like theirs. Not once but twice they mentioned criminal activity to UK rappers, Stormzy, Dave, Lil Sims, JME and his brother Skepta (just to name a few) grew up in low income households and used their gifts supported by their families and the church they grew up in to escape poverty. This is why I prefer UK rap from American rap...
