This has to be the worst/gayest video ever to be connected to out scene. I can see myself loving this tune when I'm drunk in a rave but as long as I'm sober it will always make me sick. It's shit shit shit.

skepta is much more of a lost soul than scorcher is.. by far

scorch has re-united with cold blooded and spat his old bars the other night hes still sick just needs to get back to making some harder grime instead of doing the same as wretch

the videos good and the song is catchy even though its been used before which i didnt know before, so thats kind of whack.

Wow, he is really going for the charts with this effort.

Good video, Good beat (allbeit electro), i hate the bars. Its not even that they are basic, they are just overly shit. You don't need to have any skill whatsoever to write or spit bars that shit.

Overall i dont hate the tune and i think it might do well but to me skepta's better days are behide him. At the height of the war with ghetts, skepta seemed to take a step forward in terms his overall skill as a mc, these days i can't listen to him. Some of his bars make me cringe.


BTW, Skepta is in that very small group of black guys that can't dance lol

On first view, I thought video was good and the tune was god awful, I was just plainfaced through the whole thing :| Then when I watched it again, the video is still sick apart from the dancing but the actual tune and the beat are good. Lyrics aren't. I really really have no idea what possessed Skepta to draw for the roses are red primary school, valentines day bars. Kills the track IMO

The forerunner of that group has to be Tinchy Stryder, he flaps his arms about like Kermit the frog!


This track is so lazy and unoriginal, the original Corey Hart song from the 80s this samples has been re-used in sooooo many recent electro and hip-hop tracks. Skepta hardly adds anything to it either with his lame-arse 'roses are red' chorus as well. I was bored of those kinds of verses when I was five. :sleep:
