YouTube gentrified

The legendary "Streets of Brockley" video, once the first result offered up by YouTube when anyone used the search term Brockley, has disappeared from the video hosting site.


The video - a celebration of young men, their motorbikes and their rhymes - featured an entourage that was bigger than the Wu-Tang Clan, So Solid Crew and Blazin Squad combined and was a piece of our cultural heritage.

Instead, we're left with a rag-tag collection of foxes, fires and ukuleles. Weak sauce.

EDIT: We knew there was a reason that MySpace still existed, Mike has tracked down a surviving download here.
