2020 BRIT Awards (Dave, Billie & Tyler win x) [8PM ITV - 18th Feb]

Guardian on Dave



Playing piano against blocks of black is a performance of Black, Dave’s ode to needing to work twice as hard, as a black person, to get half as far in life. If Harry Styles had two pianos, Dave one-ups him with a single piano with two keyboards. He plays it himself in the opening half of the endlessly unspooling freestyle, but is joined by a second pianist to allow him to focus on the mic ratchet up the vocal intensity; pain and speed gradually reaching a climax of sheer anger at institutional and historic racism.

And what a climax. Dave gets off his piano stool to deliver a newly written final freestyle verse that ranks alongside – no, outpaces – the similarly electric and political statement from Stormzy when he shouted “where’s the money for Grenfell?” in 2018. “The truth is our prime minister is a real racist” gets aired in the opening lines. He pays tribute to Jack Merritt, a victim of the London Bridge terror attack, but argues “tougher sentences: that’s just papering cracks”; spits fire about the treatment of Meghan Markle, calls out the government regarding Grenfell; and calls for “reparations for the time our people spent on plantations”. This is what the Brits stage is made for: forthright political statements that can hopefully move the dial in millions of living rooms nationwide.

Its no problem disliking something Nicky ,but really would you like to be described as a generic turd ? I dont like Stormzy,but would never describe him as that.

[smudgie]

C,mon Rod the sod, some music:dance:

Not bad for a 75 year old.
Now that’s a fella that knows how to enjoy life. :love:

[Mystic Mock]

shows how corrupt the brit awards are, if this generic turd wins :laugh3:

Tbf he is talented at what does, it's just I can't always listen to that kind of stuff all of the time as it gets a bit samey for me.

I definitely need to brush up on this year's Music as I didn't recognize half of them.:joker:

[Kazanne]

At least we have the opportunity to listen or not Mocky , people will always like different genres of music,that is a good thing,it would be so boring if we all liked the same stuff, I don't know much about this Lewis guy, but he seems very popular and seems talented,but not everyone will like him and that's ok, I like Harry,Adele and Ed Sherran but others hate them,thats ok aswell its up to them.

[Alf]

Dave :clap1:

The gammons are REELING! :amazed:Are they? How are the Black puddings doing?

It sounds racist when I do exactly the same as you, doesn't it?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Are they? How are the Black puddings doing?

It sounds racist when I do exactly the same as you, doesn't it?

I prefer to listen to rapper Chazand rather than Dave

[Nicky91]

someone you loved, before you go have been quite a lot on our local radio too

but i dislike something when it's on the radio here too much (i also dislike shawn mendes camila cabello señorita for that reason, overplayed here)


i love Adele :love: others dislike her but i love her ''quality above quantity'' mentality in regards to when she releases music, and it is true, truly great music takes time to create

[Smithy]

Don’t know why people even bother with the Brits, they’re a total joke of an award show, artists usually negotiate awards for performances

[Mystic Mock]

I agree with you for the most part.

Like I definitely have singers that I like that would horrify some people on here.:joker:

[Morgan.]

If calling everybody racists is the measure of success.

He didn’t call everyone a racist, he called out racism. It still exists. There’s a difference.

[arista]

Who's Dave?


A Rapper from Brixton that was banned
at one point

So He got Political Naming Conservative T. May


[David Orobosa Omoregie (born 5 June 1998),
known professionally as Dave, is a British rapper,]


At least he can also Play Piano.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_(rapper)

[Crimson Dynamo]

He didn’t call everyone a racist, he called out racism. It still exists. There’s a difference.

i expect he was instructed to do that by his music bosses to sell more stuff to young teenagers

sadly, but it works

[Alf]

He didn’t call everyone a racist, he called out racism. It still exists. There’s a difference.Too right it exists, because of the racist offenders like him.

[Morgan.]

It’s actually quite disgusting that you think his statement on racism is a marketing ploy to get money. Racism isn’t a business, or a game, it’s a real thing that people are experiencing every day.

[Morgan.]

Too right it exists, because of the racist offenders like him.

How is he racist?

[GoldHeart]

I haven't watched it back but I'm glad Bojo has been called out.

[arista]

Why was the audio muted?


F. word etc.


They did the same at the Oscars
with Swear words used in that old White Rapper

[Alf]

It’s actually quite disgusting that you think his statement on racism is a marketing ploy to get money. Racism isn’t a business, or a game, it’s a real thing that people are experiencing every day.The guy dedicated his album to his brother, who murdered a 15 year old boy, by stabbing him 9 times. And the family of that boy have to have that rubbed in their faces on National television. But as long as the gammon are angry with it, it's ok.

[arista]

Yes Getting Political
got them on all UK News and Radio
and morning Political Debates.

[Alf]

How is he racist?The way to show you how, is for a White person to go on National television and do exactly the same as what he did, but change Black to White.

[Morgan.]

The way to show you how, is for a White person to go on National television and do exactly the same as what he did, but change Black to White.

It’s quite evident, let’s say, that you heard his performance but didn’t listen. Because if you actually listened to what he said, you’d realise that it’s not racist whatsoever. Black people have been through decades of oppression, slavery, the
list is endless. To call him a racist for speaking out against it and calling out modern day racism, whilst also celebrating the good that Black people have brought and achieved is just ignorant.

[Beso]

Dave :clap1:

The gammons are REELING! :amazed:

Do you have any proof to Base this absolute ridiculous statement on:shrug:

I listened to him.

"Even if you're the least racist, that's still racist"

So he's agreeing with me, maybe Dave is the least racist? but he's still racist.

But nowhere near in the same scale??? Comparing complete segregation and ill treatment to small-scale racism is pathetic. The only people who should feel this called out and attacked by his performance are those guilty of racism and ignorance :shrug:

[Alf]

The only people who should feel this called out and attacked by his performance are those guilty of racism and ignorance :shrug:Doesn't matter if it's not the same scale. Just as it doesn't matter whether Britain's are the least racist, they're still racist, aren't they? and White people still went through that.

[Twosugars]

Doesn't matter if it's not the same scale. Just as it doesn't matter whether Britain's are the least racist, they're still racist, aren't they? and White people still went through that.

Where are reparations for colonial exploitation of whole countries and slavery?

[Alf]

Where are reparations for colonial exploitation of whole countries and slavery?I don't know, go find out yourself. Are they in the post?

[Crimson Dynamo]

He was like a Poundland Stormzy, we nearly missed his rant as we were still laughing hat his stage name was actually "dave"

:laugh2:

[Kazanne]

I prefer to listen to rapper Chazand rather than Dave

Tbh,I had never heard of this Dave bloke, but as I said I don't like rap music,so don't pay much attention,I did however stand through a Stormzy concert as I took my daughter, each to their own I say.Never heard of Chazand either :hehe:

I think he was joking there Kazanne :laugh:

Chazand = Chaz and Dave

[Jordan.]

Who told the gammons they were the Brits target audience? Should have been watching Dave the tv channel instead.

[Alf]

Who told the gammons they were the Brits target audience? Should have been watching Dave the tv channel instead.It was the Brits? I thought it was the MOBOs

[Crimson Dynamo]

Did you even listen to the Lyricism involved throughout his album?

Clearly not. Don’t be upset just because someone isn’t shy to brand a racist government as exactly that.

I did

He was dreadful

Lewis Capsldi he ain't

He is s puppet to his big music overlords, all white, all millionaires

Not really a rebel I can get behind

[Mystic Mock]

I've just listened to the Dave performance, I loved the passion in the performance.

I didn't hear anything racist from his lyrics on first listen.

The song was obviously very political though.:laugh:

That’s because there was nothing racist in it. Unless you believe being proud of being Black and openly discussing the struggle you may face as a black man or woman is suddenly now an act of racism.
