He was using the global reach to make a statement on the knife crime crisis.
Draw some attention to it in the (vain) hope politicians might do something more than make mealy mouthed statements. |

If that were the case you'd think the easiest way for Stormzy to do so would be to create songs about knife crime etc. instead of chanting f*** Boris on the biggest platform any musician will ever have.

Not sure telling the gang bruvvers to toe the line will be a good seller.

Have you heard many Stormzy songs denzil?
Rap is the most political music out there. The days of rock bands like U2, REM or The The being overtly political are long gone sadly. All Ed Sheeran **** nowadays. The vest and chant made mainstream press and we're still talking about them days later. I think he knows a lot more than you about getting a message across frankly. |

Have checked his song list can't seem to find the anti gang violence ones can you name a few please and explain the message.
Ed Sheeran is massively overrated. |

LOLOLOL. The notion that there is a global interest in this herbert is laughable. He is virtually unknown outside of the UK, and his profile here is ludicrously exaggerated. He is in essence a media creation, because he fits a narrative and agenda they feel compelled to support and publicise. The citizens of French Lick, Indiana and elsewhere have far better things to do of a day than pay any attention to Stormzy's tedious pronouncements. As for his cringeworthy "statement on the knife crime crisis", he didn't name and shame or (perish the thought) unequivocally condemn the community largely responsible perpetrating the violence, as well as being the victims of it. The vest and chant made mainstream press and we're still talking about them days later. That's true. Days later we are still splitting our sides laughing at his drivel, and cringing at the thought of all those nice white "progressive" lefty middle-class sorts in a field (and at home) PRETENDING they like Stormzy and his unlistenable "songs". They would probably cross the road to avoid him and other "Grime" artistes in normal life. And yes, I realise I'm dignifying them far too much by referring to them as "artistes". |

The lad was headlining Glastonbury. Whether you like him or agree with his views doesn't matter. He made a statement and it was effective. Shouldn't let it get under your skin so much. |

PorcupineorPineapple name 1 song where Stormzy has delivered a message on the wrongs of gang violence urging them to change their ways surely that isn't being my slave.
You said: Have you heard many Stormzy songs denzil? Rap is the most political music out there. I think he knows a lot more than you about getting a message across frankly. What message is he getting across? Answering that one shouldn't be too difficult bearing in mind MUSIC is his platform you'd think the message he sends out would be in his MUSIC,especially if he is making a social or political stand which you seem to think he is but can't provide any positive evidence. |

FWIW Stormzy is blaming EVERYTHING BUT the bruvvers and knives for the problems the reason being he can't blame those who buy his music and have given him this life in fact he's milking it all for as much as he can get.

Denzil, if you can't figure out the message from it then I'm not sure the grown up internet world is the right place for you lad.

He needs to be asked why he thinks its ok to use the UK flag ? Most towns do not have dozens of stabbings and Drug related murders every year ..
Perhaps a Big Ben vest would have been more suitable . People are not stabbed to death every week where I live |

PorcupineorPineapple Do you think he should be using some of his prophets to solve gang violence?
Instead of building more wealth on the backs of those who've funded his rise whilst the issue continue to worsen. aaronh Stormzy is clearly detached from reality using religious faith in his work all this serves to do is bolster what these fantasists already believe,meaning they don't care at all about authority because they answer to a higher power and can justify this in any way they like (usually a self centred prayer) whilst continuing that lifestyle. You might've seen similar somewhere before maybe not. |

Stormzy and his boyfriend Lammy could have joined forces with the BBC to highlight real racism:
An Afghan asylum seeker who allegedly attacked random members of the public with a knife was 'fuelled' by a desire to kill English people, a court heard. Samiulahaq Akbari, 32, is accused of swinging a 10ins kitchen knife at three 'total strangers' within a 10-minute period in Thornton Heath and Croydon in south London after 'demanding to know their nationality'. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7204663/Afghan-asylum-seeker-fuelled-desire-kill-English-people.html Should be headline news for days but the MSM will no doubt ignore it in favour of some trannie/gay/climatebollox |

Couldn't find any evidence to support that but the hits keep rolling and his profile grows exponentially.
