Finally you've been put onto Pete & Bas. 🙌🏾 They are the real deal bro and have been putting out bangers for the last couple of years and do serious numbers. They do live shows and everything. They have a new mixtape out today and a new music video coming out today you'll do well to jump on when its out later. Or go back in their catalogue and you'll be amazed. Pete & Bas - Golf Pete & Bas - lightwork freestyle Pete & bas - quick little freestyle 🔥 Loads of hits honestly can't name all 😅
FYI, Bas is pronounced "Baz" (rhymes with Jazz). It's short for the name 'Basil', which in uk pronunciation rhymes with 'dazzle' (*not* "bay-zill" like usa pronunciation).
There is no fucking way anyone would give up these bars to a pair of old actors for a gimmick. These guys are legit. Period. They have help from their grandkids for modern slang but it is impossible that they are just acting.
Aye just look at the grind they've put in, start off on GrimeReportTV(shout out Lordie for giving them a platform)with a track that's clearly just two old blokes inspired by their grandchildren making a song for the banter and each release since they've just got better. Really shows you can do it if you're prepared to write bars and graft, doesn't matter on age.
@@HonkeyKongLive they write their own songs, the only help they get from their grandsons and friends is the production. They told this to the South London Press.
@@davisxd6192 ain’t gonna lie, I highly doubt that is true. They do not come across as guys who would know the likes of Charlie Richardson, just listen to the way they speak in the Trend or trash interview.
Smoked so much that I'm stuck in the planets speaking Spanish, Hasta luego Thumbs in his eyes get pressed like play-doh Wife's been callin, how's your day go? Can't call back I'm in San Diego Lil'mug tried it, you don't wana ride it Gave him the kiss of death, I ain't gay though I ain't fredo, don't wear tight little shirts like Bugzy Lil boy Aitch don't wana get maced Stormzy's mug will get smashed in the face Jaykae still didn't send his verse Skepta get left in a casket case.
Not a paradoy. We all thought it was 2 years ago in the UK when they started but they went strength to strength. They have perfomed live. Check out some of there other tracks. Light work freestyle is good and also dents in a Peugeot. Also obviously they sent shots at rappers in this but the Bugzy and fredo is also a double if you remember the god father films. Kiss of Death was what they gave Fredo. Bars!
Oh shit I didn't even notice how they had a right/left fist motif the entire time. Also, I swear they can't be totally written by others because they have way too many references that reach back into old school British life. There is no way someone could write all that for them. They would not know the refs. Edit: AYYYY you caught the Joplin bridge!
I'm obsessed with these guys and been watching tons of reactions to this video, yours is one of the best, subbed, and hoping for more pete & bas reactions- 'golf' and 'the old estate' are top tier
I’m definitely going to check out more! Thank you so much for the kind words David! Glad to have you and if you ever need me hit me up any time. I’m always around here somewhere! I really appreciate your support 🙏 👊
Original London ogs from the kray twins days and they can still spit amazing The whole final verse is shots they call out freddo, bugsy, aitch, Stormzy, jaykae and skepta
@@eloquentparadox1950 they became that it's out there that they were close and ran with the kray family and still have connections I don't know if you know a lot about og UK gangster families but most if not all were running front jobs/business for tax and other reasons 🤷♂️ Like the krays themselves have/had businesses and jobs all over the place one of the reasons they were able to keep the authorities off them and still do. Also not to point out how good a piano teacher is as a front to scope out rich people's gafs and areas 🤷♂️ Maybe you just don't understand how these streets used to work 🤷♂️
@@Samacora you stupid dickhead the Kray Twins were already on their downfall when Pete and Bas were like 14 and 15 years old. I beg anyone reading this to not listen to this guy he is literally talking out if his arse
@@eloquentparadox1950 who said the kray twins.....are you so dense and so ignorant to the streets that you think the kray family dynasty ended with the twins Fucking Muppet 😂 Kray twins started a dynasty that's still going you fucking moron , you've just made it very clear you don't know what your talking about
@@Samacora you edited your comment to correct your stupidity. If you want to live this fantasy where you believe Pete and Bas are former/current gangsters then carry on, you are inly fooling yourself. Anyone with half a brain would see they A. They are not and B. They never were.. Don't believe everything you hear in music, kiddies.
Brooooooi!!!!! I swear I’ve been asking for these “geezers” on every channel I follow. 🙏 check old estate another great one. This duo is my fav at the moment 🔥
When you read "american ghost writer" in the caption you fear the worst and normally dont even watch them. However,this is not one of those occasions and its refreshing to see sincerity and appreciation of equal levels instead of laughing at whats on the screen visually and talking all the way through! You my man are a real music lover and got yourself another viewer 👍
Massive respect to this guy, been watching a lot of Pete and bas reactions lately as I’ve just discovered them myself and peoples reactions to them is hilarious. This guy seems cool tho so ima sub and binge your content bro. Hoping you’ve got a decent slice of that uk Shit thou.
They are og gangsters who went to jail for a little then wanted to do something they enjoyed they did and interview where they say they write their own lyrics too
I have watched this reaction three times since I discovered it the other day. I absolutely love you Cliff! The fact that you were surprised, but still weren’t judging about their age. I don’t care what their ages are , they are fire!
Lol, I saw this a couple of nights ago on MrLboyd's channel. I couldn't believe it at first, then I laughed my azz off at some of the isht they were spitting. #AOD
@@CliffBeatsOfficial yep, they are slowly getting around.... honestly it seems like every single reaction channel is completely switched to Angelina Jordan, Alip Ba Ta, and Dimash.😒 they are very talented, don't get me wrong but I've heard soooooooo many covers of songs...its just not my thing anymore. And I grew up with classical guitar players soooooo, yea. I much prefer music I believe.
In the UK the word 'geezer' doesn't have the same meaning as in the USA. I think in America it means an old man? In the UK, geezer basically just means a 'man', but more specifically a cool guy who's maybe a bit dodgy, maybe on the wrong side of the law sometimes, but also loyal and stand up. Saying someone is a 'proper geezer', is a big compliment
Crazy thing is they been living this life.. I heard they. Were gangsters. Back in the day. Idk much about them, but i heard they write their own stuff but they get help with the slang ans stuff like that. Crazy. And Baz with his flow... 🔥
It’s like what just happened right? 😂😂love me some Pete and bas you know how many times I checked to see if you reacted to this one! They are genuine and write their own bars apparently ❤️
8:48 - Coming back to this video a couple of years later and I know more slang and that "get dark bruises all up on that leaky boat" hits harder now. Boat = boat race = face, "leaky boat" = bleeding and blubbering face.
Pete an Bass are the OG kings of the uk drill scene. make no mistake these two were straight thugs back in the day. peep petes ink tell you everything u need to know
Just found this on another reactors channel. Liked em so much I searched em on here . Funny me watching this on your channel considering the comment I posted on your reaction to the latest H Mack vid.
Honestly I don’t comment on RU-vid videos too much and I very rarely subscribe to people and I doubt you’ll see this but if you do my name is Tommy Lucas I go by the artist name Slinkz and I’m a rapper from the uk. The way you listened and caught every detail of what was written in this song has touched my heart you really understand and respect the craft on a level I do. You understand the whole concept of how each word impacts the meaning behind a sentence in terms of schemes and bars etc. You my sir have gained a follower forever in me and thank you for this reaction! Keep up the great work
If people caught all the UK specific and old man slang and references they'd realise Pete and Bas have the most complex and hardest lyrics in the game right now.
If you don’t know who’s names were blurred at the end it says little boy aitch don’t wanna get maced stormzy a mug get smashed in his face and then he says skepta get left in a casket case
I would happily suggest Quick Little Freestyle, Golf, Lightweight Freestyle, The Old Estate. These dudes are not a gimmick, Pete (the short one) used to run around with the Krays and I haven't learned too much about Bas yet
Dude I know I’m late with this, but since you said you’re part Irish, and representing the Irish, just in case it hasn’t been posted already: At about 7:35 when he talks about being half Irish, he says “ “Tiochfaidh a’r la’” if you’re taking the mic””. The first part is Irish (I couldn’t get the precise spelling on my keyboard), but it was the slogan that was used during the ‘troubles’ - or near civil war - in Ireland by those who wanted to re-unite Ireland as one nation. It translates to “our time will come”. The second bit (if you’re taking the mic) means, “if you’re joking about me/kidding/disrespecting etc…..
BAM BAM - Voice of the streets freestyle Real shit over the realist of beats most rappers cant touch. The second verse is one of the best rap verses of all time, or at least the most passionate
No doubt. I always have respect for the OGs. I know I wouldn’t have a career if it wasn’t for the artists who are now in their 40s-70s. That’s how I learned to write/rap. Always have to respect the OGs
Sick reaction bro, keep it up, pete and bas have some fire tunes, here's the lyrics [Intro: Pete] Yeah, Pete & Bas Plugged In with Fumez Nine, One Let's go, baby [Verse 1: Pete] Hello girl, hello darling What’s your name?

Yeah, yeah) [Verse 5: Pete & Bas] I’m in Spoons with a tune on the jukebox Bird’s been shaking the bunda making me crazy If the girl keeps going like this then I’m taking her home and we’re making babies Now, I don’t mean to be rude but this party's dead And I’m feeling wavey So I might just slide to the cab grab Sandra, Babs and Casey Come on then, mate Let’s jump in the cab, tell Mo to go faster I’m hotboxing the Uber If he complains, I’m punching the bastard Spilt drink everywhere now my phones died Pass me the bleeding charger Smoking a biff of the finest grade Now my head's twisted like a Rasta Jump out the whip that cigarette lit When I’m out on strip they run, they scarper Grab that man and I’m shaving his head like a fucking Turkish barber Popped his noggin with the butt of the dotty And his body foamed up like a bottle of cava Feds came round and I never said nada Quick k-sh and I’m downing a lager I never lost face when it came to throwing these fists Got an head like a builders brick I got fists like concrete slabs Still knock a man down with a kung-fu kick And I don’t take shit from a man, get chucked in a van, get dashed in a dusty skip One side of the family’s Irish Tiocfaidh ár lá if he’s taking the mick Big bands in the building Fill them cracks in the walls so the feds can’t see that stash Got a mash tucked under this tit for tat And I tip my hat if he’s talking grease Please I don’t wanna spill his beans on the brand new carpet The wife will lose it Move it before I lose it Get dark bruises all up in that leaky boat Pull up in a blacked-out Benz And I whip out the nank And man gets carved like roast It ain’t no joke, I ain’t Dave Chappelle Now, why’s your girl been talking to me for Give her that seesaw Give her that up and down And her back's so round, I grabbed it Wrapped it, slapped it, stains on the mattress, flip them packs and the cash I stashed it Smacked that man with the back of the hand These sovereigns turned him green like goblin Meat she’s gobbling Meat feast popped in her mouth And she can’t get enough of this Joplin Janis, I don’t know the plan is Smoked so much that I’m stuck in the planets Speaking Spanish, hasta luego Thumbs in his eyes get pressed like play-doh Wife’s been calling, how did your day go? Can’t call back, I’m in San Diego Lil' mug tried it, you don’t wanna ride it Gave him the kiss of death, I ain’t gay though I ain’t Fredo, don’t wear tight little shirts like Bugzy Lil 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
Try and listen to Pete & Bas Golf Ft Norman pain, or Pete and Bas The old estate ft M24, Bas flow in these two vidio's are wicked, Bas is the tall one with the bald head.
Cliff I would love if you check out the Scottish rapper "Shogun" I would love to see your reaction, preferably "SHOGUN [Far North Freestyle] SERIES 2: EPISODE 5" Only scottish rapper I think that has global potential. Cheers, Love the reactions.
Cliff, I’m the same way, please reach out if you need anything or need to vent. I don’t have much but I can be the ear if you need to let it out. Take care and stay strong
