British Rapper Dave calls Boris Johnson "a real racist" during performance of 'Black' at Brit Awards

[Deleted member 18944]

Dave added lyrics to his song "Black" at the Brit Awards to call Boris Johnson a "real racist".

The crowd cheered on as the Streatham-born rapper made the change during a stirring rendition of the song, which is taken from his album Psychodrama.

Dave also criticised the British media's treatment of Meghan Markle in comparison to how it treated Kate Middleton.

He rapped: "And if somebody hasn't said it / Equality is a right, it doesn't deserve credit / If you don't wanna get it, then you're never gonna get it / How the news treats Kate versus how they're treating Megan."

"It is racist, whether or not it feels racist / The truth is our Prime Minister is a real racist."

That was a really powerful performance with a strong message, Dave laying out the truth.

Gottem

 

[Absolute]

Damn, first time I heard of this artist but that is a very powerful song and that performance gave me goosebumps. Gonna check the rest of his stuff.

Speaking the truth in a great performance. No doubt the right wing/Tory press will be giving him flak for this.

It's worse to be called a racist than to be one to some people :/.

 

[Techno]

He killed it.

 

[Sign My Guestbook!]

I totally misread that as race realist lol

 

[Don Fluffles]

Pretty based.

 

[Bad_Boy]

As an african american... that was fucking amazing.

[Greg NYC3]

Wow, that was magical.

 

[Slayven]

Damn there are no words

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

This is incredible.

A Dave I can get behind. Boris and Cummings need need more of this, good to see our youth leading the charge.

 

[Strike]

Good stuff.

[Adamastor]

That was powerful stuff.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

That was beyond beautiful.

 

[Bear Patrol]

No lies detected. Fuck BJ and fuck the British press

 

[kradical]

Stormzy at the 2018 Brits "Yo, Theresa May, Where's the money for Grenfell" Dave tonight "My Grenfell victims still need accomadation". Shameful that this is still an issue two years later, and doubly shameful that it only gets talked about when a rapper brings it up at an awards show.

 

[DIE BART DIE]

Dave is impressive. I hope he becomes more successful than Stormzy.

Piers Morgan gonna drag himself out of the booze-soaked gutter to be super offended

Floored by this. Amazing.

Yup, throw in a sprinkle of false equivalence about not being able to perform a song about White power then we have his morning click bait tweet summed up.

We already had all these hot takes when Black first came out, it was wild.

 

[Chanser]

Amazing, saw it live on TV.

 

[darz1]

Wow. That was incredible.

 

[LewieP]

That's a banger.

 

[SigmasonicX]

That performance was great!

 

[AcridMeat]

Well I'm bumping this because I listened through the album a few times last night. This guy is special.

 

[TheIlliterati]

Great performance. Can someone explain how the visuals are done? It almost looks like an AR camera but maybe I'm overthinking it.

Was wondering that as well.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Dave is the future.

 

[cyport]

The visuals were done in Notch - https://www.notch.one/. Using a mix of camera tracking and AR.

Already happening from govnement themselves let alone the media.
Priti Patel said it was nonsense and you can't call Boris rascist unless you have met him in person.

 

[dreams]

That was amazing. Holy shit. 100% truth.

 

[Deleted member 44129]

I saw this. Didn't know who Dave was and I should have done.. The performance was awesome and I loooooved the effect on top of the piano.

 

[danowat]

No lies detected.

 

[hwalker84]

Wow.

 

[Wamapoke]

Good stuff. Saw him at Glastonbury without having a clue who he was and he was amazing.

 

[coldsagging]

Speaking truth to power, what it's all about. Johnson is horrible cunt and all the bad tory gammon fume is wonderful.

Seeing this performance made me put this track back on repeat today. His best verse..

 

[Arkestry]

It's fucking incredible and kind of sad that grime artists are holding our government more to account for their racism than most opposition politicians.

 

[Darkgable]

Brit awards still trying to stay relevant I see.

Still haven't gotten over that Craig David debacle...
