The amount of musical, historical, cultural, and criminal knowledge needed to put this together and then **deliver it with conviction and emotion** makes it clear to me just how authentic these two are.

He’s a baked potata, yet still analysing all the lyrics like genius lyrics in his brain 😂 legend

Mad hilarious these homies got better flow than the majority of the mumble rappers nowadays. I haven’t brought a album in a long time but I’ll definitely by their album just for this track

When he says “knock your block off” it’s a double meaning. A literal punch, as well as taking your whole bloc on

I feel like New York and London are very similar. Out of the Americans you New Yorkers understand us the most. Big up you bruv just foubd your channel and instantly liked your personality. Keep grafting and your channel will grow fast

I simply NEED more Pete & Bas reactions from you ASAP.🙌🏾 PLEASE 😂 This was a 🔥reaction & I appreciate the pausing because that's respect. If i wanted to watch it straight through I would have watched the original video. This was a lit reaction 💯

Flintoff reference is he's one of the best cricket players we've ever had in England. Hence the throwing action.

100% gained a subscriber, you literally picked up on 99% of the bars, that most other reactors haven't so definitely going through your videos and watching them all

Nailed it. There's no way to just grab some old dudes and give them lyrics and have this happen. And some of those lines are way too removed from what I think a younger dude would reference. Obviously they don't do it alone but these guys ain't actors.

I made the same mistake, most people know it from "Ready or Not" by the Fugees but they actually sampled it from Enya "Boadicea" . Love Pete & Bas! They never miss! Great reaction!

You don't have to apologize when you pause the video. We are here to see you reaction. ☺️

Great reaction and breakdown my guy. Easiest sub I’ve ever given.

He actually understands , I’m really impressed with you bruddah keep up the good work

lol bruh have you forgotten who founded america properly on paper, UK. Our slang brush off too states even broken english which is jamaican today. These guys are old school mob and they drop bars stating thier past but they both started to take the rip out of new blood rappers try sing all gangster. Imagine doing time these guys having to listen to gangster rap and said to each other we gonna fucking tear this shit up when were out lol. Legends

Mate, I've seen parents who's never smiled at their children the way you smile at Pete and Bas. Much love and a sub earned for that level of passion. Edit: I'm seeing these Lads in October ;) Edit Edit: These geezers are one the best groups I've seen. They got my mate up to neck a pint with an egg in it and she crushed it, ended up dancing with the lads. Amazing gig!

Pete and Bas are legends. And they write 90% of their own lyrics. Fuckin OGs

I rock with you cause you're clean with this reaction shit, mad personality I relate with as well, it's all love!

Man this is the best reaction I've seen, u actually understand the complexities of their flows and how hard it would be to execute if they weren't the ones writing. Also big ups for smoking the whole video lmaooo

Bas said “i be fuckin with bunda since bunda was bunda” 😂😂😂

Dope reaction! Bro caught damn near everything. This is how it's done!

I would pay a Lot of money to see skeptas face when bas said "skepta's gettin left in a casket case" the names of the rappers were censored lol, they mentioned some more but i cant remember😂

About that "Shot then I called the cleaners" line : "Cleaners" is code for the people who pick up bodies after someone got taken care of.

They are awesome, whatever people say about them having help with the lyrics, you cant argue with how they spit, so much skill.

I subbed man, now please come through with more Pete n Bas. I recommend "The Old Estate", but Bas goes stupid on "Golf" as well.

Dude... you’re seriously my favorite. Hands down. You catch all the lyrics, and your input is 🔥

I been bumping this in the car all week 🔥

You done it again my GGGGGG!! Nailed the bars. Love the respect you show for our uk scene. Love g 👊🏼

Yo great reaction brother, appreciate u going back a lot shows you're actually analysing and understanding the bars brother, love subbed g

Nice reaction! I don’t doubt it is New York slang, but “knock your block off” is a super common London cockney slang phrase from many years ago...... also “shaving his head like a Turkish barber” means slitting a dude’s throat with a straight razor.....

RELOAD ITTT RELOOOAAADD ITTT lmaooo these geezers KILLED it they wont let ya finish the reaction cuz its TOO hard lmao

the fact that first time i heard fraze "my head twisted like a rasta " from them is insane to me :D btw this guy looks underrated on youtube

One of my fav reactions to this so far, caught everything.. easy subby my guy ✌

Idk if anyone has commented this but cleaners isn’t referring to clothes it’s talking about the people who clean up body’s for the mafia gangs etc

They are Pure Talent 🔥🔥🔥👏❤️🙏

I've been watching reactions every since this came out. By FAR this the best one 😤

Yo man, all I'm sayin is I'm ringin that bell, please put more pete and bas reacts in my feed bro. I can't believe you picked up on that irish line! I live in the uk and even I needed that explained to me. Idk if you like to save the best for last, but for sure The Old Estate is a good one for a rainy day.

These dudes are levels beyond sick. Great reaction.

I love that you wheel it all back to catch the entire flow after you break it down with pauses. You peep and deep. :D

Mad respect from the East Side of London, your going to go far with a ear like that for music!! Put a big L in the air brother and stay blessed 🙌 🙏

One of the best reactions , im from London and hearing your breakdown is perfect . One of the best 👊🏻

Finally a reaction that matters !! Love my guy 👍👍

I am just constantly and consistently impressed with these two. It's just bars and bars and bars with bars buried inside of bars.

This was a Dope ass review dread...I've watched it 3 times. GREAT EAR FOR MUSIC! Pete and Bas ...🔥 🔥 🔥

Brilliant reaction,top value for money!! You must to Window Frame Cypher...you will love it😂😂😂😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥Love n respect from UK

By far the best reaction I’ve seen. Much respect

1st things 1st...if a man can be beautiful...something beyond handsome... it's YOU! Ok...now on to the important thing...your reactions are awesome! Pete and Bas are EVERYTHING

I saw "lyricist reaction" and i clicked. You did great. Please break down as long as you need. Ill be here to watch! I hope others will too.

You deserve one billion subscribers💥💢💯

When you said "it dont work like that." Subbed! Real talk gets real subs! Expert breakdown!

Respect for starting the song right from the start when he slapped us with that tiktok line

This is one of my favourite reacts to this track, you know what the fk is going down brother. ✌🏼+❤️ from Australia homie

First thing i heard was the subtle lighter strike and i knew this mans knew what he was talking about

It's the flow and clarity that gets me. Good for the ears!

I am so glad that I finally found someone who catches all of the bars or at least most of them including bars that are more relevant to where they're from.

Wish I could like this more than once

its toooo much these man are tooo hard PETE N BAS must be protected at ALL COSTS

I scroll through reactions to this like daily but this the best 👌 you appreciate the cadence and flow and the bars. Respect 👊

Hello from Cody Wyoming! You are awesome keep it up🤠

Out of 30 reaction videos you just maybe the best I've seen.

I’m late but your reactions are fire 🔥 you hella smart my man

Just sub great reaction ND breakdown everyone else was just saying they didn't write it or just there age corny.u came thru my guy.

I'd love to see them and snoop work on a song I bet it would be a banger 💯💯

You sre the first reactor I have seen recognize the planets line. Respect, you toasted ass Mafaka!

you mimicked my exact reaction when bas started going off lol

All the way from UK it's ya man beej good reaction as always brudda..do pete and bas. browns .its mint lad trust me .bless always my g

My jaws dropped at that "got fists like concrete slabs.... Picture that imagery!! Picture that imagery!!!! The Grammys are flawed I swear. These oldmen be winning all that.

Clean shot, make a man dance and I dont need tic tok is the best line in the whole song. Edit: BTW dude you should have way more subs. From UK here your review is my favourite, were equally blazed

Wicked reaction I love all the love Americans are given these 2 og' s at the moment. Also you get everything they say this made me subscribe and they do write there own bars and there grandsons make the sound tracks. There smashing the drill scene there better then 90 % of the drill rappers out there they are absolutely smashing the scene. Peace and love from the uk

Coming back a while later, doesn't look like anyone spelled it out so if you didn't catch the Irish Gaelic bar: One side of the family's Irish: "Tiocfaidh ár lá!" if he's takin' the mick (Sounded like "chocky ar la") Taking the mick/taking the piss - mic(k) from micturition, urination Mick - slang for Irish But Tiocfaidh ár lá is "Our day will come!" The rallying cry of Sinn Fein and the IRA. Hits hard because these lads lived through The Troubles. And with one side of Pete's family being Irish?

Did you catch the dope Janis Joplin reference? Pete: "...she can't get enough of this Joplin", Bas: "Janis, I don't know what the plan is. Smoke so much I'm up in the planets."

Ma man caught every bar best us uk reaction video ever !!!!

Nah this guy is the american black the ripper lookalike!😂👌

When Pete says 'one side of the family's irish..' that bar is so clever and complicated that ive never seen anyone understand it, it would take ages to explain

Subbed and liked, best reaction I’ve seen and I think I’ve watched all of them. Last two comments deleted guess cuz I mentioned my Caucasian-ness and old age. Keep up the good work man.

i love that this is all them with some slang help from the grandkids

BEST Breakdown yet!!!

Yooo, just found your channel! Got my sub man, chillin, and still catching bars and flow patterns. I see you, my guy! Let's get it!!

Fling balls like Fredrick Flintoff - Flintoff was a famous English cricket player who was deadly with the ball

🔥 Reaction! Pete & Bas are Legends! 💯

Love your reaction. Love from Manchester UK 🇬🇧

You’re absolutely the realest doing this . Subscribed mage . Don’t change a thing mate just do you . Love and respect to you and all reading this . You can have it all just like Pete n Bas ...manifest it :)

Everyone needs to go back and re-listen to the last bar again. Everybody got sent for, just some of it got censored! Gave him the kiss of death I ain't gay tho, I ain't Fredo don't wear tight little shirts like Bugzy, little boy Aitch don't wanna get maced, Stormzy's mug get smashed in the face, Jaykae still didn't send his verse, Skepta get left in a casket case.

Pull up in a big Beamer, shoot shots on a man, then I call cleaners: "There's been a little spill on that block we was last week when the boys put dem feelers" Telling the crime scene cleaners where to go without mentioning a specific location. The boys were selling some product in a location to see how well held the territory was, they got some pushback so called in Bas for some personal attention.

Shoot shots and I call cleaners” means he kill’s a man and then has a crew come round to clean it up. OG London Gangster bars….

Class reaction as always bro, you should check out their latest freestyle, GRM daily didnt give them a daily duppy so they made their own, search up pete and bas - sindhu sesh, would love to see a reaction vid!

That Dance/TikTok bar hits harder now than ever 😆

my guyyyyyyy

The reaction at see saw line you was like wtaf these killing it in the old peoples home. Good breakdown 👏. Subbed

That sample is from an Enya song - Boadicea (the Fugees used it).

You earned an easy sub here mate As soon as I saw you tokin on a zoot whilst im tokin on a zoot it was obvious Im only 1:19 into the video 🔥👏 Edit: I have now watched the video and your reaction clean asf big brain analysing. Much respect from UK 🇬🇧🌿

Man this is the first vid of his I've clicked on got my hyped and you know he smokes that

Best reaction to this I’ve seen .. 🤗

"Knock your block off" is classic UK/Aussie slang Gr8 breakdown

i thought bas said genius, baby, she ringing on my phone like crazy. meaning she blowing his phone up to give some serious knowledge, then pete comes in with i came i saw i conquered waking up in my gucci boxers. these boys rhymes are flowing into each other. a veni vidi, vici bar! insane

Excellent Reaction - this channel is a vibe. Do Ghetts fire in the booth 3! Pete & Bas Golf

I'm so glad you catch the cockney slang, and don't get the slang for cigarette twisted. Keep up the awesome content, my g. Keep ya head up. 🙏

This reaction was funny best I've seen yet man , when bas said I don't wanna spill his beans all ova the carpet the wife will lose it haha his face 😂🤣💯🔥🔥

And the Fugees sampled it from one of Enya's tracks 😊

Keep talking straight brother !

Best reaction yet fella 👌
