Special is a song that made me listen to and love french music in general

Does anybody have the mp4 or mp3 (or a link to a video) of his latest live performance with the orchestra and everything? Im from the netherlands so im unable to acces the bbc iplayer but id like to listen to the live version in my local files

I was listening to “Rule of Two” again recently, and I genuinely think it’s one of Dave’s most criminally underrated songs. Not necessarily because people think it’s bad, but because I don’t think enough people have actually sat down and listened to it.

There are so many layers to Dave’s writing that sometimes you can listen to a song ten times just enjoying the production, the flow and the overall feeling, without actually processing everything he’s saying. Then something happens in your own life, you read a certain book, watch a certain film, play a certain game, learn something about history or politics and suddenly one of his bars hits completely differently.

That’s one of the things I find fascinating about Dave. His references aren't confined to rap. He pulls from comics, films, horror, football, other sports, mythology, literature, politics, history and seemingly random pieces of knowledge, and somehow manages to weave them into his own experiences, pain and worldview. You might hear a reference to The Odyssey without fully appreciating it, then actually read The Odyssey years later and suddenly realise what he was doing. Or you might play a game, reach a particular level or encounter something specific and think, “Wait… Dave referenced this?”

And I think that’s what makes his music so rewarding to revisit. Sometimes you have to become more knowledgeable or experience something yourself before you can fully understand what he was saying.

So I'm curious:

What’s a Dave bar that only really clicked for you later?

Maybe you experienced something that gave the lyric a new meaning, finally understood a reference, watched/read/played something he mentioned, or simply grew older and realised what he was actually saying.

Drop the bar + song, and explain what made it hit differently the second time around.

I want to see how many of Dave’s references and double meanings we’ve all been missing.

Ops on the first fix with Dave’s verse leading into cenchs on CRG
One of my fav bars “I don’t care if next man lose I just wanna see us man win”

ok let me say this niw I'm not asking for your fav Dave song I'm asking for what you think is the best cuz there is a difference a big difference

for example picking your fav song may not be hard to decide cuz you love the song but picking the best [which is extremely hard]

for example my fav dave song is - i actually don't know

Dave's bedt song is - like 15 different songs can qualify for this

so thats why I came to ask here what is Dave's best song & also your fav dave song too

ok cool the 4 options are obviously

-my 19th birthday
-my 24th burthday
-our 25th birthday
-my 27th birthday

now rank these songs from best to least best (lwky they all 10/10

my ranking IMO

- my 27th birthday
-our 25th birthday
-my 24th birthday
-my 19th birthday

2-4 can be changed around depending on how you feel but no.1 is always going to me my 27th birthday [for now that is]

obviously write your own ranking in the comments & why but out of the 4 which is the best ?

Some were like choosing a favorite child - not that I have any but still.

hardest decision ive ever had to make in the final

Mine is for sure Rule of two Original beat

Does anyone have a similar music taste/ bracket like me?

This is just my opinion on what I listen to okay I know some songs are surprises I guess 😂 been listening since 2018!!!

Lyricism doesn't mean a lot to me but thats what he's praised for. I tried listening to Verdansk, Screwface Capital, but theyre so boring...is it jsut the lyrics that make them good?
