Frank Ocean - Blond Kendrick - To Pimp a Butterfly Anderson Paak. - Malibu

J.I.D. reminds me a lot of Isaiah Rashad. Young rappers on the rise, uber-talented but haven't broken through to the mainstream yet. Both guys can flow seamlessly over any beat and switch flows multiple times in a track to keep things fresh. Isaiah's "The Sun's Tirade" is an excellent album to check out if you haven't heard it.

Earthgang is also signed to Dreamville! Great artists.

Some EARTHGANG songs I fw: Red Light Momma Told Me (ft JID) Missed Calls Their performance of "UP" on colors Meditate (ft JID) The Curve (from Spillage Village which is an ATL rap group containing JID and EG)

Pleeeaaase react to "To Pimp A Butterfly" by Kendrick Lamar, it literally is one of the best albums of all time!

SEVERAL YEARS LATE BUT HERE'S THE TIMESTAMPS: Doo Wop - 1:08 General - 1:14 Never - 4:50 EdEddnEddy - 9:10 D/vision - 11:00 Hereditary - 14:35 All Bad - 17:47 Underwear - 19:30 8701 (feat. 6lack) - 21:26 Hoodbooger - 23:02 Somebody - 24:16 Lauder - 26:30

Flower boy by Tyler album review? Or saturation 2 by Brockhampton? Would be amazing I love you JD

Isaiah Rashad ( Pieces of a kid, Cilvia demo, The sun tirade ) all three of them are 🔥🔥🔥 you can choose one of them and react to it 👌🏼

You gotta listen to Hasta Luego by J.I.D.

This is a brilliant reaction/review mate. Really good stuff

Yes J.D, I'm a fan of your insights and appreciation of the art form - keep it up man!

If you like lyricism then you'll really enjoy Joey Bada$$'s albums and mixtapes. 1999 is a masterpiece and an underground classic that he made when he was only 17 years old, B4.DA.$$ is another fantastic album and I believe it's his first major studio release, and All Amerikkkan Bada$$ is one of my favorite conscious rap albums of the decade.

I seldom ever comment, but I really enjoy the channel and you do great work here and with Simon. Your bit at the end about how you appreciate writing made me think that you or you and Simon should listen to the track Aquemini by Outkast. The very last verse by Andre is, for my money, the best written hip hop verse of all time. Keep up the great work.

React to Imperial by Denzel Curry next!

Loving the albums you’ve chose to review so far, would love to see Forest Hills Drive by J Cole since you’ve loved all of his content you’ve reacted to so far

Lupe fiasco - Drogas Waves, I think you’ll be impressed with how sonically and lyrically complete it is.

madvillainy by madvillan. mf doom + madlib. classic that many people miss

@JonDenton in the song D/vision the last verse is sung by Johnny Venus. All three are lyrically on par, they write together alot of the time and bounce ideas. The EarthGang guys tend to have stronger southern slang undertones so some of the bars fly over peoples heads. I recommend reacting to a few EarthGang songs.

my favourite up and comming artist , the man has so much potential. cant wait for this albums hes dropping soon its gonna bang

love the reaction mate, would love to see you do Care for Me by Saba

Im low key hoping jon would post more often cuz I love his reactions and commentary

Danny Brown, XXX is one of my all time favorites. its such a good album Love these new album reactions, keep them coming

YOU MUST REACT TO JOEY BADA$$- 1999 This mixtape was made when he was 17 and it’s one of the classics of the past 10 years!

Another good video man keep it up❤

I know u'd love Run The Jewels-Run The Jewels 3. Definitely do that one

Pusha T - DAYTONA pls, productions crazy from Kanye and Pusha T is as great lyrically as ever

One of my favorite albums from the past few years. Btw Underwear definitely grows on you, I felt the same way as you on my first listen but now I really like it.

I am really glad you did this album! J.I.D is a blessing of talent. Joey Bada$$ - All -Amerikkkan is a masterpiece and you should def do that one next. To Pimp a Butterfly from Kendrick is worth doing a review for like this too. Really beautiful projects from two lyrical killers.

EdEddnEddy is a sample of Scenario by A Tribe Called Quest featuring Busta Rhymes & some others. Scenario is probably my all time favourite hip hop song and JID played it before playing EdEddnEddy at his concert when I saw him and it was amazing. If you guys get the chance you should react to Scenario by A Tribe Called quest.

I fucking love you for this man ❤️ great to see that J.I.D is getting what he deserves 👑👑👑

We need that Days Before Rodeo reaction!

Definitely do JID's new album DiCaprio 2. It's even better imo. First time I noticed the alliteration in Lauder. DiCaprio 2 is one of the very rare albums where I NEVER skip a song.

So happy you reacted to Who Dat Boy by Tyler, please react to the Flower Boy album and I recommend you tell Simon to do the same, or if you want to do something different do an album reaction on Rock Reacts.

Hereditary is by far my fav track by JID. So glad you got around to it.

Logic- The Incredible True Story J.cole- 2014 Forest Hill Drive

I honestly think The Never Story is the best album i’ve heard in a decade

Absolute Hip-Hop Classics since 2003: -Get Rich, or Die Tryin' - 50 Cent -The Eminem Show - Eminem -Urban Legend - T.I. -Thug Motivation 101 - Young Jeezy -The Most Unknown -Three Six Mafia -The Carter 3 - Lil Wayne -Man on the Moon: The End of Day - Kid Cudi -Take Care - Drake -Control System - Ab-Soul -Good kid, M.a.a.d City - Kendrick Lamar -Watching Movies with the sound off - Mac Miller (R.I.P.) -To pimp a butterfly - Kendrick Lamar -2014 Forrest Hills Drive - J. Cole -Love Story - Yelawolf -4 your eyez only - J. Cole -Damn - Kendrick Lamar -4eva is a mighty long time - Big K.R.I.T. -KOD - J. Cole Off the top of my head Classics, in chronilogical order to the best of my memory. P.S. These are the Classics. I'm not saying they are the only good albums that's been released since then, they are just the albums that are an absolute must Listen for every Hip-Hop head.

Just a matter of time! Once he gets more music out there he will blow up, i'm sure. As a big fan of J.I.D's music I do feel a little starved. Cannot wait for his new project!

coming back to this your music run with Simon Miller shows your dedication for this

Yo so glad you did this man, been following JID for ages. I know this is an old video and may not see this, but if you like the chilled beats I reckon you'll love Earthgang (Hip Hop group JID's a member of)

Great video Jon! You gotta listen to gkmc or tpab by Kendrick to appreciate why he is considered one of the goats. The albums are so conceptual and really takes you on a journey. Btw use genius, especially if you choose tpab.

you should react to the saturation trilogy, I'm sure people would love that, myself included

2014 Forest Hills Drive by J.Cole please

You guys gotta react to earthgang-up and earhgang- meditate (feat jid)

To pimp a butterfly is a must! I get chills from almost every song

"The suns tirade" by Isaiah Rashad is a great album to vibe to. Hopefully you react to it anytime soon

Earthgang is also signed under Dreamworld. They are on another level too. 'Momma told me' and 'Meditate' by them are must listens.

Earthgang consists of 2 rappers, Doctur Dot and Johnny Venus (that's in the order of their verses on D/Vision), they have a lot of music, check out Meditate with J.I.D, Artificial, Robot, Up in that order

Can you react to Faces by Mac Miller or GO:OD AM by Mac Miller? I think if you dive into some of his best projects you'll really appreciate his music. Mac was and still is one of the most under appreciated artists of this era.

Kendrick, TPAB

Loved the reaction. You should checkout some mixtapes, like young J cole (the warm up, friday night lights), or Mac Miller's Faces where he openly talks about his struggles with drugs and is my favorite project from him. Keep it up man

Liked before even watching

Flatbush Zombies - 3001 A Laced Oddyssy I would love to see you react to this album, I really think you'd like it! This has to be my favorite rap groups out right now. What they lack in content they more than make up for in production and their chemistry is amazing. They consist of three members: Meechy Darko - The "Darkest" of the 3. Has a super nasty and grimy voice that sounds awesome. You'll know him when you hear him. Zombie Juice - A little higher pitched tone that also makes him unique. His energy and flows are great and he adds some cocky swagger to the group as well. Erick Arc Elliot - This man is amazing. Not only does he spit on the tracks but he's also their sole producer and makes all the beats. They're an underground style New York group that has recently started to blow up and gain traction over the years. You should really give them a listen so you can see just how versatile hip-hop is nowadays. I absolutely love Travis Scott and J.I.D but these guys are much different and you should expand your horizons a little and check these em out. I don't think you'll regret it! Also, like if you agree and let's make this happen! :)

Earthgang - Up is an incredible shot of espresso type of performance

End of November DiCaprio 2 comes out and I'm READY !! ✖️✖️🔥

To pimp a butterfly is a must man

You’re reaction is basically how I felt when I first listened JID is sick with it

good kid mad city full album, needs to be done, i know you've heard a few tracks off it but as a full album start to finish it tells a story so concisely and so well, you'll love it

Great reaction btw

Earth gang are signed to j coles lable, DREAMVILLE

That third song had a tribe called quest sample! Best rap group ever in my opinion. One of the creators of the NYC jazz/alternative rap genre.

You guys absolutely have to do j.cole - crooked smile on rock reacts

FINALLY!!! LETS GOOOO

The whole album is insane. Can’t wait for his next one. DiCaprio 2 🔥🔥🔥

Oh and i suggest you start doing old classic albums like Tupac, biggie, tribe called quest. If you want to study rap it’s always good to hear where a lot of it started

Lupe Fiasco - Food and Liquor This album is a classic. If you're impressed with a command of the english language, you'll love it. It's nowhere near as dense as Mural, it's much more accessible

btw the ededdneddy beat is a remix of a beat from the 90s called Scenario by a tribe called quest

I feel like you were talking to me in your closing but just to make sure, don’t miss out on reacting to Man on the Moon 1 by Kid Cudi! Awesome reaction and J.I.D is amazing

Bone Thugz n Harmony are the guys who really pioneered the rapping while also singing a melody that JID does so often. Definitely check them out!

Days before Rodeo plssss

Just a tip. putting the names of the song that is currently playing would be awesome. so if someone like the song they can look it up. :)

I see Jon Denton, i watch 💯

MORE RUN THE JEWELS PLEASE. They have a track on the Venom soundtrack. All 3 of their albums are magic!

I have never clicked so fast on a video

If you like the singy-esque flow with the switch-ups in pitch and vibe, check out To Pimp a Butterfly or Good kid, MAAD city by Kendrick Lamar. He’s one of the best at switching up his voice, alongside with J.I.D

Loving the Travis atm, would love to see more British rap I would suggest OCEAN WISDOM one of the best out there in my opinion.

Good Kid Maad CIty and To Pimp a Butterfly album reviews would be great

You should do some Earthgang songs! Some good ones are a single off their upcoming album titled "Up" and Meditate ft. Jid as well as Exactly ft jid. All of Earthgangs's stuff is great

You should do Shawn Smith album sink or swim or the song Heaven he's an up and coming rapper... His command of creativity and metaphors and punchlines are amazing

Ay!!!! This is dope you shinning lit on Jiddy Jid. You should do 6lacks new album East Atlanta Love Letter 🏅 Love from Los Angeles 👌🏽

Please do Cilvia Demo by Isaiah Rashad you will definitely love it!

he also has a single on the channel color where they play live called working out. sick video and song

earth gang who are also signed to cole have a song feating JID called meditate , would recommend reacting to that on rock reacts such a sick song

Another person under Dreamville that's dope is Bas. He has a dope album called Too High to Riot. He's also has a couple song with J. Cole that you could possibly react to as well

hes highly regarded amongst the people that like lyrical rap

2014 Forest Hills Drive please!!!! Love how you are going back to older albums!

You should react to his performance on Colors

good kid, m.A.A.d. City GO:OD AM Flower boy Keep it up, love your videos! ;D

Glad you finally heard Lauder I’ve been waiting months lol😂 you had to experience that.

Do anything from the saturation trilogy you will love it.

You definitely have to listen to 'Free 6lack'. That album is amazing especially for some first album.

I was waiting for a classic like DBR or TPAB

J cole - KOD 🔥

Props Jon 👍 Also, gotta agree with everyone else, Earthgang is a must. EDIT; Also, the verse you pointed out was from Johnny Venus

Amazing reactions as always! Can you please react to 2014 forest hills drive(J Coles classic for sure) and Good kid maad city from Kendrick lamar(top 3 from this decade easily).You reacted 1 or 2 songs from these two projects in RockReacts but as a whole concept you will love it !

You guys have to react to Momma Told Me and Meditate; both are by Earthgang/JID. Missed Calls is also an amazing song to be introduced to Earthgang with.

one of my favorite rap albums

Listen to Rags EP by EARTHGANG at least if you wont do Robots and Royalty with it (the three EPs are meant to be listened to together but came out fragmented).

The Weeknd - House of Balloons

meditate- earthgang ft. jid ABSOLUTE FIRE
