Can't stop listening to this.

Regardless of your thoughts on rap/grime music, just listen to this guy go. Quite possibly the best lyrics I've ever heard in rap.

Some of it is pretty fast - if you're struggling, here are the lyrics:

You know I saw the word 'rapper' in the shot and just thought walk on, walk on ......

Did you actually listen to it?

I like Akala.  He's a smart guy and I like a lot of his lyrics, some of it is powerful stuff.  There's guitar in many of his songs too.

Recently discovered there'd been a new version of one of his old songs.

Listened to the whole thing, couldn't relate to it.

Nope. I totally respect your taste in guitarists, you are the one person here I feel in tune with. I really don't do rap though.

I’ve never understood why rock and especially metal fans dislike rap, plenty of it is as if not more exciting from an energy standpoint.

What makes those lyrics so good for you?

(As far as I can tell it just needs to add a mention of the importance of putting some money into your Nest pension to be a trendy teacher's ideal choice for school assembly.)

I'm just holding out for a rap song about a middle aged white man who lives in suburbia, drives his affordable and yet slightly chic car with ample boot space and pretends to read the FT as it makes him look highbrow.
