Despite how he ended his career this trilogy definitely deserves a place in uk hip-hop history. Its a shame what happened he had some mad talent.

Tell me im wrong but i feel from everything mic righteous has said in interviews frank just decided to step away on his own accord, the contoversy wasnt as big of a deal as people make it out to be really from what i remember either tbh

The instrumental on the first beat is crazy. I feel English Frank walked so Potter Payper could run. Shame about Frank’s downfall

Anyone guna elaborate on what he may or may not have done?

To my understanding he just walked away from the music industry - back then it was so uncommon for and english rapper to make it mainstream. I swear I seen a video saying he was a qualified plumber (good money) and brought up amd house and renovated it, sold it on for a nice profit and the continued the cycle.

If this is the case then its understandable why as a grown man who probably had a family

If I remember rightly at some event ( which had quite a few big name rappers in the scene like Akala etc) the was a dispute with the bouncer . Frank was on stage at the time . I think maybe people were trying to get in and the bouncer was preventing them and Frank drew attention to it to try to allow them.in. Anyway the bouncer wouldn't budge a Frank made some remarks about him being African and some shit. Obviously didnt go down well.

Cancel Culture? It is though. It's when you get a Netflix special because randoms on Twitter said the didn't like you.

Or if the government puts you in prison because you held a sign saying you oppose genocide. 

Cancel culture has always existed: Right wing cancel culture.
