Its just a shame that he picked a clip from a few years back where it looks bare dated and chavvy compared to a recent clip of devlin which would prob hold a lot more creditibility with the yankee man dem

This is what I was saying all along.
There's no such thing as bad publicity.
Watch MTV bang down Devlin's door now!
All Dev's needs is some good songs in his back pocket, decent management and with a bit of luck he could ride the wave to the next level imo

Huh? What do you mean get a comment, it's a fucking blog, you blog things that you were possibly thinking at the present time, why the fuck would we need to get a full interview from Kanye, on some likkle (but in a big way) post.
Kanye is an open minded guy.
And if you don't know nothing about being open minded, then your lost fam.

i don't no how you/mtv can deduct that his (kanye's) intentions were good, when all he did was put a video of two white guys from england with the caption gangster rap (which there clearly not). Quite ambiguous if you ask me
Roo

I couldn't give a fuck what his intentions were, that's why I was thinking why you would you wanna ask the man questions for... I don't wanna know why he did it... just leave it as it is... and maybe ask him later.
themselves might not be gangster, but the content was gangster.
You say the word 'caption' as if the post was some kind of joke for us to laugh at.

..of course it's all subjective when it comes to your preference, but Kanye has more credentials, proved himself for years, got a classic album under his belt and both raps and produces at a top level..
..Devlin on the other hand has one good mixtape out and made a few good appearances on radio...

Kanye has commercial appeal and good connections. That's why he's sold. People like Davinche are bloody good producers yet aren't famous. Why? Because he does Grime (which isn't a genre with commercial appeal), and because he hasn't got connections with people in high places.
And Alex, I'd say it's a joke/pisstake because of the exclamation mark, as well as how Kanye comes across in interviews/whatever. Comes across like some dickhead. If he liked it he would have said these are sick. Or whatever.

tbh, i'm the kind of person who can understands why basic mc's appeal to some people but the people that dont understand why others hold mc's like Devlin or G.H in high regrad really piss me off cuz i think once you've heard their music its easy to tell they are talented.
Has long as your not one of the people that h8 Devlin for being a white

Devlins not even the best in the grime scene, Goodz is better than him- no hype.
But (and Im sure TerrorS would agree), Its not about being better than 'All the US Rappers' its about being a great technical rapper who spits about stuff real to people in England and gaining a fanbase - thats why so many of my mates who don't normally like grime rate him...And Im yet to hear a 'I love you' song from him. He ain't sold out once yet. From the straight fire, no holds barred freestyles of the Devz EP to 'Take Me Away' and 'Community Outcast', which reflect and deal with real life for people in Britain. He's doing a lot- and thats why I rate him in my top 3 (which is Goodz, Wiley and Devlin if you wanted to know).
He is a solid rapper with good lyrics and decent delivery. If he had a bit more charisma he'd be onto a good thing for sure.
Hes obviously not comparable to Kanye West yet, but people have seemingly forgotten in all this hype that Kanye's worked for ages and is on top of his game, while Devlin is still relatively new. He needs to be given time to grow and develop as an artist and has surpassed loads in the game already at this early stage.
My opinion on the piece is that Kanye didn't rate the rappers, probably Dogzilla more out of the two and posted these two cronies to get some cheap laughs from his American fans. All promotion is good promotion for Devlin and I hope it springboards him upwards, he deserves it.
