I appreciate this a lot! Thank you so much. It only goes up from here!

ok

No time soon. I have too much going on. I still have to edit another album reaction.

Yeah I know. Other people already commented it.

@@KRXOVRmedia My bad, scrolled down to see if anybody did and didn't find comment mentioning it.

I def wanna hear it. I'm sooo backed up on projects that I gave up lmaooo

Ayee thank you! I really appreciate it. I worked suuuper hard on this. What did you like the most?

And thank YOU for watching!

Thank you!

Yeah they'll be back, but in a slightly different way and less of them in a higher quality way. Thanks for watching!

Ayeee thank you

100000%!! I say this all the time. It's one of my MOST common critiques when I do album reactions. I actually end up rearranging the tracklists myself and never listen to it in the original order. What are some albums that you've felt this way about?

@@KRXOVRmedia there aren’t specific albums I feel this way about, but growing up (like from 13-18) I used to make these album-style playlists that’d be 10-12 tracks and feature songs from multiple artists, across multiple genres, but there would still be some sense of cohesion in the vibes of each track, but of course lyrically they wouldn’t always make sense. that would matter more if its from a single artist. the playlists would be a kind of emotional trip using different artists to paint the picture, and have a clear (clear to me at least) progression and intro/outro I did make a “my perfect giggs album” playlist once but these were lost when I switched music platforms. I like concise but impactful albums, for example Hoodies All Summer by Kano or if we’re talking non-rap, SITHOL by Yves Tumor (one of my fav albums ever even tho i dislike track 3) or Chelsea Wolfe’s latest album She Reaches Out To She. and Bashy’s new album is around 10 songs and was great from what I remember (i do need a relisten) but I think 10-12 tracks is the perfect album length as it leaves not too much space to go wrong if you’re a good artist, but more than enough space to go right and be creative. anyway sorry for the long response which may not have been an answer to your original question

No need to apologize. I ask questions to encourage conversation. I definitely understand what you're saying. My whole spotify is legit full of this. I plan on making as many videos as I realistically about them. I have a whole series of playlists for introducing people to UK rappers, but I arrange the songs to flow like albums. I also agree that sometimes less can be more. My experience with those "shorter" albums tends to be more favorable, too.

Thank you so much. I put a lot of effort into this, so I am glad it's well received. What's your favorite part of the video?

@@KRXOVRmedia I loved every part of it but the last part stands out to me, and the artwork was brilliant as well.

I really appreciate that for real. I been working really hard to produce ideas that help elevate how we think about these things. Thank you for the feedback. Are there any topics along these lines that you would like to see explored some more?

@@KRXOVRmedia Hmmmm, that's tough. Maybe you can talk about some of the OGs in the game, like their evolution from then till now

Noteddd. I can definitely try that when I get a chance if something comes to mind. Thank you for contributing!

Thank you! I worked really hard on it. What did you like the most and what's something you would like to see in the future?

Thank you!! It's funny you mention that Jay-Z quote because I saw it a few weeks ago while scripting this video. I think I have it in my notes for a future video on this topic. What did you like the most about this video and what would you like to see in the future?

​@@KRXOVRmedia deep analysis of albums that have kept out and then you could do comparison for example the last one but headie one maybe a vid on that album and comparing it to Edna and music and road and videos about album expectations for example santan dave highly anticipated what he's theme could be should switch his mellow sound his been using etc butt great vidd

Makes perfect sense. I actually have stuff EXACTLY like this in mind, so I'll just do my best! Thank you for your support and contributions.

GENUINELY appreciate you saying this. It's the comments like these that remind me that I'm doing the right thing and I'm on the right path. If you haven't already, check out the video that I made about the last Dave album here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aZ2PeqeKtdXFc4k.html My plan is to do comparison videos because they're a little more interesting than just a standard review. Thank you for watching! I have another video dropping today about Unknown T.

@@KRXOVRmedia even better very creative keep it coming

Thank you!

Thank you for watching!

Thanks for sharing

loooool thanks for watching!

I never really paid full attention to that particular line. His attention to details is definitely one of my favorite things about his music. Thanks for pointing this out and watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you!

ayee thank you for watching!

@@KRXOVRmedia i watch this video every now and then, its fun watching alongside you two

You have no idea how much this made me smile. Thank you for noticing. I will most likely be going back and forth between filming at both locations.

Thank you!

I listened to this for the first time in a minute the other day and that bar hits the same lmaooo

Facts. What are your favorite songs from it?

Thank you! I think part of the underwhelmingness of BABY comes from it not FULLY leaning into its concept. It's there, but it could have used some more ironing out. To me, the album feels way better to listen to when it's reordered. Try playing it in this order and lmk what you think open.spotify.com/playlist/70LUCAW8CnZ4A1TaJF15XL?si=qy-UoTqJTgir-9QmAm8eyQ&pi=hvHYwbA3TAKj2

I agree. It's a bit all over the place. Not a bad thing, but definitely a thing. When did you start listening to Hus?

@@KRXOVRmedia I moved to east Ldn in 2016 when I turned 14 when he started poppin. Niggas was listening to drill and shit but I've always just hated the sound, most of my playist was old skl like Nas 50 MF doom and Wu -Tang, I'd heard Dem Boy Paigon before tho but never gave it much thought. The school I went to for some reason had a whole heap of man that uses to live in Custom House so they fucked with Kojo, and being from an west African background but not being around too many of them before this I was gobsmacked at the sound of afro swing because I grew listening to highlife in the household and afro swing felt to highlife like what r&b was to soul if that makes sense, like a modernised version. So that led me to Hus, and that also got me to listening to his freestyles and 15th day which impressed me even more because he had so much range in tone, I've always called him the UK 50 cent because of that. I also love that this nigga will say the stupidest outlandish nonsense definitely appeals to my old school sensibilities. Like all that juju shit, even the people that fucked with him around weren't feeling that too tough but that right up my ally, one because I fuck with traditional African spirituality and two it's just comedy gold, bro calls himself Juju J for fuck sakes to his audience of primarily black people no less(and we know how our people feel about juju/voodoo/obeah) Anyways I know this is a long as response to your question but Jhus for me is genuinely one of the greatest artists of all time especially out the UK, and hope he gets even more experimental and crazier with it.

I appreciate you taking the time to share all of this because you could have just said "2016" and called it day. This is why I love the music so much because there's always so many interesting stories and memories attached to it for people.

@@KRXOVRmedia nah for real, true art (music, movies shows etc) are like bookmarks for your life

lmaooo when I get past Fresh Water, I'm good. I DO agree that Alien Girl grew on me with time. Did you see the music video they recently dropped for it?

@@KRXOVRmedia No way they dropped a vid ? I'm a little hesitant to see the visuals that accompany a tune like that tho😬💀

Nah tbh the visuals are COLD. 100% not what you would think: aliengirl.jhusmusic.com/

@@KRXOVRmedia FUCKING GOLD! Hope more musical artists collaborate with animation artist like this in the future. (I already they'll be a subsection calling the visuals demonic😂)

Thank you! I can definitely say that I grew to appreciate certain songs more over time.

Very very fair

Common Sense is deffo a classic

You might see me in dubaiiiiii

I'm not super crazy about it tbh, but I can understand why more OG fans like it.

Dem Boy Paigon is a banger

The energy on no lie 🔥

I hear iittt which songs are your favorite?

@@KRXOVRmedia That's toughhhh it's all up their for me bro, maybe no denying but the run from helicopter to play play is crazy This album to me is more consistent and it's a little shorter, feels like it has a more tailored sound. Jae5 and TSB really do their thing. Whereas to me common sense and BABY feel like mixtapes with bangers peppered across them. All the features on baby were great especially CB and villz

Ayeee the legend himself! Thank you for watching

lol

Facts. You listened to the album, too?

Thank you! If you like Beautiful and Brutal Yard, you should check out our reaction if you didn't already. I also have a video dropped on Sunday about that album!

Lmao! Thank you!
