00:00Exotic pets.
00:02Overrated.
00:03Pets.
00:04Get them at my house now.
00:06Get them at my house.
00:07Cats.
00:08Get it at my house.
00:09That is a small rat.
00:11That is an elongated rat.
00:19I'm a big fan of horror films, especially the Saw series.
00:22So I'm going to say underrated.
00:24I first saw Saw when I was about like 14 and like I was sleeping at my friend's house
00:29and I thought seeing Saw was like watching like real like dark website gore.
00:34I acted as if I had just watched like a real human being get petted.
00:38It didn't scare me.
00:39You know what's so funny?
00:40Like the plot is so good that I was more fixated on the lore of Saw
00:44than the blood and gore of Saw.
00:48Bars.
00:52I don't like snakeskin print.
00:54I don't like snakeskin print.
00:56No.
00:57But it's not overrated though.
01:00But for me it's overrated because I can't say it's underrated so I'm going to have to go with over.
01:04But I don't like snakeskin.
01:09Underrated.
01:10Some people really actually don't like bathskin.
01:12When I say I like baths they always say you're bathing in your own sweat.
01:15I'm like okay.
01:17Shower afterwards.
01:19Overrated.
01:20I'm East African.
01:21My forehead's big enough.
01:22It's when my fans like I'll like see them in the street and they'll be like can we take 0.5?
01:30Which I guess is like the like micro equivalent to like fisheye on an iPhone.
01:34And I'll always say yes because obviously I want to accommodate what they want.
01:38But I hate 0.5.
01:39I hate 0.5.
01:40Because my forehead always looks like there's a curvature that happens like naturally because I'm East African.
01:46But then it like is exacerbated by like 0.5%.
01:51I love a house party.
01:55Underrated.
01:56I had a house party for my birthday and it literally was a shambles.
01:59It was my birthday.
02:00People were there.
02:01And they didn't know what the party was for.
02:04So they wouldn't be coming in saying happy birthday or hi to me even though it was like.
02:08And that was fine.
02:09I was like fine.
02:10You know.
02:11And I went up to someone and I was like how did you know to come here tonight?
02:13Like because I didn't know them.
02:14And they showed me a screenshot of the address like my address.
02:18And was like this is the screenshot that's been going around.
02:21And I was like this has just peed me off so bad on my birthday.
02:27And you did it on my birthday dinner.
02:32Oh my god.
02:33Somebody in this room is wearing tabbies right now.
02:35So I'm going to pee.
02:37I have nothing against tabbies.
02:39I wouldn't wear them myself because my toes are actually the size of fingers.
02:44I can crack my toes like they're fingers.
02:47So I'm not wearing tabbies.
02:48I'd look like a whores.
02:50They're definitely not overrated.
02:51I don't see enough people in tabbies to say they're overrated.
02:54But they are not my favorite.
02:55So by default they are overrated.
02:57In my opinion.
02:58Because I just wouldn't wear them.
02:59But they look good on Lauren.
03:04Overrated for sure.
03:05I'm sorry but people are using that too freely to replace actual conversation that takes place in real life with verbs and nouns and real diction.
03:19It's not my...
03:21It's not...
03:22It's weird to me personally.
03:23I don't love it.
03:28Overrated.
03:29I'm African.
03:35Overrated.
03:36I'm not doing it.
03:37Don't play in my face.
03:38Don't play in my face.
03:39Well I don't waste my time with situationships.
03:42I think it's a bit...
03:44I'm 24 but I kind of try to live as if I'm like twice my age sometimes.
03:50I think there's a lot of things that I don't do in my...
03:53That other people in my age range do do a lot.
03:55But that's not because I look down on what they're doing but more because I'm too scared to do it myself.
03:59Like having situationships and stuff like that.
04:01I'm very like...
04:02I fear so badly my well-being.
04:05I can't partake in a lot of these things.
04:08I want to be married by like 25.
04:10I want kids like...
04:12I want kids...
04:13I want to have kids this year.
04:15I do.
04:16I want to have kids.
04:20You know...
04:21I'm sorry but...
04:22I need a moment right now.
04:24I'm the biggest escape room fan of all time.
04:27I think you knew that.
04:29I'm the biggest escape room fan of all time.
04:31Underrated.
04:32Everyone laughs at me when I suggest doing escape room.
04:34It's like what are we going to do instead?
04:36Sit in a park?
04:37I just don't get it.
04:38I don't understand why I get so much hate.
04:40They're so fun.
04:41I get so much hate.
04:42I get so much hate in real life for this.
04:44Like my friends like they make fun of me so bad.
04:47The worst escape room I did was in Barcelona.
04:49It wasn't the worst in terms of like hardness.
04:51It was the worst in terms of overall experience.
04:53It was terrifying.
04:54It was in Barcelona.
04:56I've never been there.
04:57I don't speak Spanish.
04:58Went there.
04:59I booked an escape room.
05:00And then we get in and it's like...
05:01I guess the guy is like doing a bit because it's like Saw themed.
05:04It was Saw themed too.
05:06So it's kind of like he's doing the act and then he's like acting.
05:09And like the games master was just really into it.
05:11And he kept telling us to shut up when we were getting like a little bit scared.
05:15At some point we were like, oh, is this real?
05:17Is this real?
05:18Like are we like being kidnapped or something?
05:19And he was like, shut up.
05:20I was like, okay.
05:21As if I'm going to die by escape room.
05:23That's crazy.
05:24Ugali is underrated and this is why it's very hard to understand the concept of ugali.
05:33So do you know what ugali is?
05:34Is it like a bread?
05:35A peanut?
05:36It's a form.
05:37It's not even a, it's not bread.
05:40It's like a form of almost like, oh my God.
05:43See, it's very ineffable.
05:44I am already struggling to describe.
05:46It's kind of like a doughy consistency.
05:48I don't know what you would call it, but you would dip it into soups and stews and it's white.
05:53And it's unlike any dish you've probably seen before.
05:57You make it with maize and water and it tastes really good.
06:01But even you, I know you can't pick.
06:02It looks like a cloud on a plate and it's like really weird consistency.
06:06You need to try it.
06:08Kenyan food as a whole is underrated.
06:09My mom literally shipped a cousin, one of my cousins from Kenya to the UK.
06:13Like literally shipped her and drug her to the UK just to cook for us.
06:17It's crazy.
06:18Underrated, I'd say.
06:22I once did a Reading and Leeds set at this festival in the UK.
06:25And I played, what's it called again?
06:28The best song he has.
06:29I'm a gorilla in the fucking coop.
06:32Fenito.
06:33I played Fenito.
06:34And like, I remember the whole crowd did not know it at all.
06:37And I was like, fair enough.
06:38Like these are just like British teens.
06:40Like maybe like they missed it or like they're too young.
06:43But I was just like this song and him as an entity.
06:47Like we need to make sure everyone is educated.
06:50Because you know what?
06:51The influence he has on rap as it is today cannot be forgotten.
06:59Underrated for sure.
07:00I do prefer living with people because robberies, night stalkers, spiders, night terrors.
07:09But being the biggest artist in the world doesn't even need to, it doesn't need to alter your living situation.
07:18I still live like a student.
07:19Hence the house party.
07:20In the UK, underrated.
07:21In America, overrated.
07:22The Domino's pizza here is chop.
07:23My dad used to actually funnily enough have a piggy bank.
07:24And like he would collect euros and like, like foreign money.
07:25And I once was so desperate to have a Domino's pizza.
07:26Because me and my best friend, like we, it's actually such an insane tale.
07:30But we were so hungry and we wanted to get Domino's pizza so bad.
07:33I had to steal my dad's like foreign money jar and I exchanged it all for pounds.
07:38And to this day, I still feel guilty.
07:39Like I don't know what, like that's the effect that UK Domino's has on me.
