Apart from Giggs they probably are the biggest names in this rap ting.
do ppl really rate them that much? I kinda think its cos their endz is in beef so theres loads of youtube warriors going to the same videos to war it out on the comments.
But whatever it is boy they are gettin hits considering the amount of music they actually have out. in thousands...
Westwood freestye 1 - 187,
Westwood freestyle 2 - 127,
Warriors - 122,
A New Problem - 125,
ROS (even the youngers) - 90
Im looking at other rappers and these are their highest rated solo videos
Blade Brown - 79,
Youngs Teflon - 57,
Timbar - 42,
Young spray - 71,
konan and krept (SBTV) - 127,
dubz krept kone youngsta - 11
B dubble - 40
Fix dot m - 30
i have to rate johnny guns tho.
fresh home freestyle - 289, 000
his second highest video is 89, aswell.
and hes never been on Grimedaily or SBTV and you wont find him on twitter all day like most man in the rap scee are these days >>>>

I wouldn't say after giggs they are one of biggest names. People have overlapped workrate and bars wise tbh. It's more a road hype then rap hype after all their beef thye have had.

Johnny Guns is/was part of that GG vs PYG shit so he's popular because of that shit really, i reckon its more people viewing them because of the beef rather then to hear him spit, but now he's on music properly so its going to be for his music now
like that Sneakbo tune 'Hold Yuh', it now has 73,052 views in 2 weeks, video's that have been up for about 6 months by a popular channel like GrimeDaily don't even have that many
main rappers from East are Mashtown, the East vs North hype and the beef between different parts in East, all the kids are excited about that shit, checking video's, comments, etc daily..

It's because of three things:
1. The talent is now being put out there.
When MT first started dropping their shit, people outside of east/hackney weren't really getting it. Ask anyone from Hackney and I know they'll tell you they've heard of It Only Gets Better, and if not definitely SPORTS (Stay Poor Or Run The Streets). Tings were quiet cos Margs went bin for a couple charges.
Now he's back out, starting to put the work in, Asco joined the squad, went on westwood and got a buzz around his name.
"I killed westwoods, and now they're calling me top 3"
When Mashtown first went on there, and Margs ripped it up. I read every single comment posted. And it almost became a game of name the top 3 including Margs somewhere. People were saying Giggs could learn a thing or two. People were saying Margs & Giggs - top 2. Bare Hackney heads sayin it's time MT got some recognition. Even guys who had beef with fields were saying "Margs is a pussy, fuck LF but this is hardd". Talent is undeniable.
2. Beef
MT have always been in beef. From Young spray/tottenham to the other gangs in Hackney. Got them attention as they were always being called out. Check Fellows, Ballance/E9, Young Spray, everybody calling them out in their videos. It brings attention but at the end of the day not 120,000 people view the video. They view it to see the hype and wag1, and they feel the music and listen again and again.
Like I listened to that fellows court banger riddim to see what Chidi/Sosa was saying about Asco, and since then I've probably listened to the track about 15-20 times cos I like the beat and some of the bars are good - as much as I hate the guys rapping. And they aren't even all that. So think of it from their side, MT/Margs IS actually good so they'll definitely listen more.
3. Connects.
MT got the connects muh'fucka!
MT/Margs always buck up with the big names/Big names holla and they get tracks done, and their fans listen/are brought in on margs too.
Examples are:
Konan and Krepts Tsunami Wave - Margs is featuring. K&K's fans who may not have heard of margs/felt it will listen and be brought it.
K-Koke sticky where I come from ft Margs
Youngsta, Dot'm and Fem Fel ft Margs - 24 Hours
J-Spades ft Margs - Crime Scene
J-Spades ft Margs - Warriors
Warriors video shoot - K-koke, G Money, 2G, Frostman, etc
Even guys from other genres:
Wiley ft MT - Between Us
Joe Black ft Margs - Where you're going to.
Joe Black's forever calling out Margs anyway:
"If your talking the hardest, Giggs runs the south but in North I'm the hardest, when it comes to east of course it's MARGA, red line on my sleeve, of course its prada".
A new problem has always been a banger from it was first released. I've listened to that track on youtube about 500-1000 times (srs).
At the end of the day you can't deny talent. If a rapper's hot, and he's the word on the curb, people WILL holla and check it out. And you won't get 100k+ views from just people locking in to see the road hype.
Margs on a hype ting...when that drops, mannnnn

He's only got one solo mixtape, and that was when he just came out of jail so the flow is off, tracks aren't all that.
Check SPORTS (mashtown mixtape from 04/05, mainly margs) if you can still get hold of it.
But for now check post #5 in this thread
