That’s so crazy I appreciate y’all for this it’s crazy ! 🤦🏿‍♂️🖤🙏🏿

“Half of ‘em in a cage, half of ‘em in a grave. We grew but we didn’t age.” They grew up in prison but their mindset never changed but also the ones that passed on never got the time to grow up?That’s so hard bruh. That’s the hardest bar that no one analysed bro 🔥🔥🔥

He’s got star presence and it’s crazy.

Vaughn is a generational talent, this freestyle is the hardest thing I've heard all year.

The “data plan” line or “heaven ain’t got no date or plan” is one of the best doubles I ever heard 🔥

I honestly don’t know what’s better, listening to this brilliance or watching Ryan freak out the whole time 😂

Punch is the president of TDE, he’s a different person from Top

The whole “In the air” freestyle gave me chills. 😢🥶

I listen to this freestyle Atleast once a month since last year and it still bring tears to my eyes. Dude said “reality checks are how I pay for my mistakes.” “Roaches crawling on you, will make you pick the pallet up. I was crying out for help, but wasn’t screaming loud enough!”😢😢😢

Yooo...Ray Vaughn's second half got me tearing up!

Glad this man getting noticed been watching him rap in different cars for years😂

That "lay low" line around 8:00 was really a triple -Lay low like ducking -Lay low like bottom bunk -Lay low like the name of the beat used

Love this damn freestyle. The charisma and soul in this is felt

Also the raise by a gun line could triple for… Being a son of a Gun 🔥🔥🔥

Honestly bro, this is one of the all time greats for me. Personally hearing the lyricism along with the personal anecdotes and stories. You can feel his passion! This is REAL rap I love this shit

Y’all ever wonder how tall these 2 are? Lol

Lost in Vegas is a school of hip hop for me🙌🙌

Big respect especially since most of us had no idea who he was so there is no personal bias like when you hear your favorite rapper and they’re not saying anything super hot but you pretend like it’s way hotter than it should be because you have a personal biased towards them so that was super impressive 👏🏼👏🏼

I went to high school with this dude! He is a monster!!

ever single bar in this freestyle was incredible ray vaughn is that dude when it comes to freestyles

Dudes wordplay is one of a kind.

Since 12 I’ve been locked in like Covid nights. The curfew in L.A. was 12 midnight 🕛

I never in my life thought I'd watch a reaction and here a Vodka shout-out I'm 34 (35 next month) from Philly so that was huge 💪🏾 also Ray Vaughn killed this

Feel It In The Air is one of those classic beats that NEVER gets old! RIP Heavy D 🙏🏾

For the last few years I’ve been watching you guys react to music you’ve never heard before, but that I had grown up with. As a kid I grew up in the burbs, played guitar, and listened to a lot of hard rock and heavy-metal. I really enjoy watching you guys get turned on to groups like Metallica, Alice N Chains, Pink Floyd, etc. There are quite a few old school hip hop outfits alike Public Enemy, a tribe called Quest, Eric B and Rakim, Dr. Dre, Biggy, etc. that I enjoy to this day as well, but to be honest, I haven’t listened to much new rap in a long time. Most of what I hear nowadays on the radio just doesn’t do it for me because it sounds so formulaic and cookie cutter most of the time, and it doesn’t seem like they’re really saying anything. But this cat is different. It was a joy watching you two dissect this man’s verses, comment on his flow, and educate me on music that I enjoy but don’t know that much about. I can’t wait to watch more of your hip hop reactions and get turned onto more new talent. Thanks for all you do. Sub for life.

Also that “I was raised by the gun which was ironic that his pops never gave me no advice” line also he’s a son of a gun 🔥🔥🔥

The Pops didn't give me no advice line I thought he was talking about the scene from Friday when Pops was telling Craig to put the gun down and fight

This freestyle lyrically is amazing, the sad part is bro has alot of trauma I hope homie heals.

Wow the “Feel it in the air” freestyle has me in full blown tears. “16 & 32…” OH MY GOD I can relate 😭😭😭😭🙏🏾🫶🏾

I will always love how you guys breakdown all of these songs. You guys really pick up on all of the meanings behind the bars that most others don't see and show everyone how music is intended to be interpreted

I’ve been subscribed to Lost In Vegas for about 4 years now and every time a reaction from them pops up for me I go give this exact reaction another listen. Ray Vaughn demolished this and they deciphered it very well for us listeners. Anyone else still listening to this like it dropped yesterday?

"I branched out and started blacking like some rotten fruiiit" low key 🔥

I’m so happy y’all did this, thank you fr.

This guy is insane!!!! I came here after watching the recent picking cherries reaction and Ray Vaughn has already taken place in my favourites! Thank so much Ryan & George for breaking it down and explaining so meticulously that I know his greatness. Keep doing what y'all doing guys!

Never heard of him but he got my Attention Now Sheeeeeeesh🔥🔥🔥

Man i thought this was about to be some Stevie Ray Vaughn, lol. But This did not disappoint this man is straight fire!

Absolute insanity. The Pen Is Vivid, The Energy Authentic, Blowing Minds

Already Been Loving Yall Cats For A Minute. But the fact that you mentioned Vodka let's me know even further yall know ur shit. Much respect from Philly ✊🏽

You guys are the best when it comes to reactions and breakdown. I’ve watched this 4 times

I never watch reaction videos but this came on during my drive and so glad I watched it. I caught so much more in this amazing freestyle.

Just amazing. So glad you guys reacted to this one!

Could the “Pops ain’t give me no advice” be a double to John Witherspoon (Pops) in Friday talking to Craig about not needing a gun… you win some, you lose some… but you live… you live to fight another day.

Sooo happy ya’ll did this. Mans is hard, can’t wait to see what he does next

Y'all did great! Caught just about every bar. Great job! Ray Vaughn is the truth!

This dude reminds me of Papoose a little bit too, also you all break shit down so well, thank you. I appreciate this artist so much more now understanding more of what he is saying!

This freestyle has a bar for every line, and ever bar is FIRE!!! I appreciate the in-depth breakdown.

Beautiful explanation man, these guys really giving an education right here! SO Ray Vaughn too!

Damn George, I felt you on the comparison. Vodka was special, I wish he could've made it. His style, flow and word play was bananas. Nice comparison

Watched a lot of your videos. You guys are genuinely excited by this bloke and it’s great to see… he’s great. Very original. Obviously connected with both of you and initiated some amazing comments from both of you. Insightful, wise. Good shit, 🍻

I REALLY JUST COME TO THIS CHANNEL FOR THE CHOCOLATE DROP ON THE LEFT 😍😍😍😍

Glad y’all reacted to this. So fire 🔥

For me, i felt an addition on that "win, lose or draw" line is that he will keep being in the lead no matter what the score is.

That 2nd part hit me all in the feels

wow, been a while since someones popped up that takes this much breaking down, the best ones to watch!

Thank yall for this! ive been a fan of Ray from previous works so to his growth is so wild

I also think the line where he says “heaven ain’t got a data plan” I think he’s also saying “day to plan” like you could die at any moment. Idk maybe I thought about it a little too hard but just a thought

So many bars went over my head. I love it. Dude is nice.

FIRE||| Jaw hit the floor.....still speechless but feel that raw energy driven by PURE Talent. Mad Respect. Peace and Love

This feels so good as someone who has followed Ray for yearsssss 🙌🏿

Been following this guy since he freestyles in cars and it’s nice to know he’s getting recognized now, it’s awesome

Been waiting for this reaction🙌💯

Yall really made me appreciate this freestyle a lot more great break down of the lyrics Wow!!!

Vodka!? Ain't NO WAY you bring up Vodka and don't do a reaction to him! lol. The man is a POET! one of my favs back in the day. him and RJ Payne(reign man).

Awesome reaction guys! Love hearing y'all break down the bars. Regarding the gun line (raised, pops), I also took it as a play on the "son of a gun" phrase. I might be reaching lol but a FIRE bar regardless!

Its great to see a channel that actually appreciates hip hop and takes time to enjoy it as well as break it down. Alot of reaction channels just seem like they skim through it. Great job guys keep it up!

Thank you L.I.V. Another great one. Keep up the awesome work from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹.

You ever lived with someone and they eat while you starve, hits different if you've experienced it. Dam that whole freestyle was krazy

Thats soul driven right there!! Awesome reaction too as always

That ‘give yall my testimony , but never will testify’ could be a double entendre like Rayvaughn will let you know what happened about a certain situation but won’t say it under oath , real shit. I know yall posted this a couple years back but I just barely started watching reaction videos and I’m not surprised this freestyle is being dissected. One of the best I’ve ever heard

Glad to see y'all back

the feel it in the air freestyle had me in tears.... man, this world is mad that a young kid has to deal with that entry into this world.... that wasn't a freestyle that was poetry, that was truth... the delivery was heartfelt, God bless you Ray Vaughn and i pray you find peace

Phenomenal freestyle! Good analysis... Appreciate y’all.

That was amazing. Pure talent.

LETSSS GO was hoping for this 🙏

Been waiting for this dude to get his shot!! Happy for you vaughn! Hopefully calenraps is next!!

BEANS is definitely one of the looked over greats of the streets. Absolutely in my list of who I like to listen to. Him and and Facemob (Scarface).

I am glad the universe chose to birth this man at this point in time....

Man, he gave me heavy King Los vibes.. Dude got off. And y’all stay killing it guys. Much love 👊🏻

Ive been trying to get everybody to react to this or at least watch it. This guy can lead the next generation of real rappers!

So much soul in this freestyle.

Yo get this man the recognition he deserves. This nigga helped me through my dark times. He has hella talent. Enough said. He next up

It’s crazy he finally getting notice been a fan since the start

I took that buying lunch for the reaper line a different way. When you're with your coworkers or friends a nice gesture or thing you would do is buy them lunch, and they owe you a freebie later. Usually when you buy someone lunch you're there talking with them and asking them about their life catching up with them making small talk etc. In Vons case the people that he would probably buy lunch for would more than likely be shooters, robbers and Killers or murderers for hire- and he's offering to buy them lunch as a peace offering just so he can converse with them and see who would be next to be robbed shot or killed, and making sure that it's not him

Thank you fellas for this one.. no one even comes close to how yall break something down

"Chasing after commas, cause family completing sentences." 🔥 🔥 🔥

Great Channel: Awesome Ray Vaughn: Here's my rap [VERSE:1] Throughout my childhood, I had my back again the wall; so, I had to stand tall. My paw was a drunk. He drank too much alcohol Still a toddler, at age 5, My dad beat me with a belt into I bawled. Then he burnt with a hot iron until my skin was scaled But that’s not all. My dad liked fighting. A mad man, he was always getting into a brawl One night he came home really drunk and angry. I was so terrified, my skin began to crawl I could tell, was looking for someone to maul. So, he punched me the eyes till I couldn’t see at all. Then, threw me around like a rag doll and slammed my head against the concrete wall. And left me for dead inside a dirty bathroom stall. On 9/11 they made the Emergency Call. I had severe injuries: I had a broken jaw. Welts on my back and arms like I had been cut by a saw Whip marks all over my body made it look like I had been bear’d clawed My skin was ripped off my flesh leaving me boney raw. The hospital staff was appalled at what they saw I had a concussion; so, I had no total recall Being I was so small, the doctors said I barely survived; --- it was a close call. [VERSE:2] My dad went to jail on domestic battery, child abuse, and physical assault. A hard life is what I was taught; always behind the 8 -ball, dodging shots, doing summersaults Thieving or slinging; I was always trying not to get caught. Emotionally, shame, blame, hate, and anger, I felt were all my fault. I was inflicted with agonizing pain, so they rubbed it in, like sea salt. I was fraught with distraught. Self-destruction is what I sought. A gun and some ammo are what I bought. Put the gun to my head and pulled the trigger. It was suicidal, I thought. I fought back, defeated the demons, and won what I bought I locked the misery away inside my vault and ended the suffering by bringing this sh*t to a halt. [Verse: 3] However, my mom then became addicted to crack and cocaine. She tried to make our family money by being a prostitute on the ghetto’s walk of fame. I was ashamed of what she became but I still loved her all the same. One night she was killed; a burn-out flame. What a shame, nobody will remember her name. Her cremated dead body is all that remains; I felt she ghosted me, but her memory haunts my brain. I almost lost it and went insane, I had nothing loose; so, there’s nothing to gain. My nightmares were real, seeing junkies, like my mom, in my bed shooting heroin into their veins Watching addicts as they tried to abstain from the drugs, but withdrawal symptoms like nausea and vomiting, depression, and mood swings: I literally felt their pain I came from a broken home: See, I got a picture of me contained inside in an A-frame

You guys rock!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I've been waiting for this reaction

You guys do the best reactions

Unreal freestyle. Will definitely be check him out 🔥

This is great to see. The last time I felt like this hearing an artist for the first time was the first time I heard Kendrick. The game ain't ready for this kid but we've all been waiting for his arrival. Let's go!

Ray is the next big thing for TDE, great addition 🔥

Love the content George & Ryan

I was waiting for this

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥When he said "too many questions, I just wanna ask my daddy, like why you f*ck with my mama and bring me into this family!" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love your reaction guys; however I took the line Ray spat about raised in color meant to me Blue for Crips as he referred to earlier and now he's rocking a neutral color (no blue or red) KEEP DOING THESE!!

I appreciate y’all for real‼️
