I like your reaction, you understand the lyrics. A lot of Americans don’t catch as much as bars as you do. Your also funny hah. Good reaction bro love from the UK
"Going from stepping on roaches to stepping by the Beatles." - Wretch 32 has recorded at Abbey Road Studios where the Beatles made most of their albums and famously had their photo taken crossing the road. He literally stepped by the Beatles.
And (as with all Wretch material) there's another couple of layers in this line - roaches = the filter left at the end of joints after they've been smoked. So he's gone from an environment where he was literally 'stepping on roaches' to Abbey Road where, as you say, the Beatles recorded - then the other layer is the symbolism of the roach (cockroach) and the beetle - both types of invertebrate (or insect if you want to be more general) - you see a cockroach and you step on it - see a beetle and you're more like to leave it alone (step by) it.
Man I feel for Avelino on this track. He's so f'ing good, but what wretch brings is just unreal! "They trying to minus my plusses to divide my people" hits me right in the feels. Damn he's a legend
Sorry in the sense of that this kinda feels like one of those old Mike Tyson boxing matches, when he was coming up. Some guys went up, tagged him a few times and were thinking "I'm doing pretty good" until Mike started getting rythm. You can see the same on avelinos face. "Oh he's not just good, he's on another level" if you catch my drift. Feeling kinda embarrassed by comparison I guess Is what I mean. Although that's a question of taste too ofcourse.
“my dad might have killed me, no snitching on our ship” referring to how his family made the money then making reference to a ship before he even got to the bar, that’s legendary. Wretch could go bar for bar with anyone.
Hi internet, can you help me please, I can't stop watching people reacting to Wretch's verse of this FITB. I think it's addictive watching the euphoric astonishment seeping into people's faces as they realise they're witnessing something very very special - an unbelievable piece of artistry IMO.
Awesome reaction bro! Just noticed at the end you're and anime fan so you HAVE to watch Jafro - blackbox! You're gonna love it! He's hype as shit and has lyrics!
BRO!!!! I have watched a LOT of reactions to various Wretch and Akala FITB's and this is the best 1 by FAR!! Great personality and catching all the bars!! LOVED IT!! And hit up Akala pt4 FITB and Wretch pt5 FITB.......PLZ BRO!!
Akala FITB p4 is a must if you haven't already done a reaction. Like other have said, man it's enjoyable to see someone catching almost all the bars whilst also being fun to watch. Keep it up, I've subscribed!
Akala - thieves banquet Akala - fire in the booth Cadet - stereotype Well worth listening and i think you will catch the bars that not as many people catch! Great reaction mate!
Love your reaction my man, that shit hit you hard, and you just got it. Many Americans I seen don't quite get this, but great to see such talent getting the respect it deserves out there. Great reaction mate.
Must do mic righteous start at part 1 all amazing but watch him grow as a mc got to do akala part 1-4 lowkey part 1 alphabet assassin Obamanation part 1-2 terrorist part 1-2 then f.i.t.b part 2
united46 yes exactly man. All depending on how I am feeling depends on how I interpret his lyrics. Whenever I am out or feeling philosophical I put wretch on. Im just so sad being from the UK he isn’t bigger. I feel kids/generation today aren’t ready to understand his lyrics. He was out when I was 14, im 24 now and appreciate him.
@@melissalouise11795 I know what you mean but it's up to the fans to keep beating the drums and supporting guys like wretch. Have to admit I'm a bit of a hypocrite, haven't bought music since I discovered streaming. Too much of a cheap skate lol
Rich are you ever surprised how the views keep ticking up on these videos? lol I've watched your reaction video nearly as many times as I've watched the fitb!!!
Ghetts - Fire In The Booth 2 is overdue and you will never be ready for it. The most savage grime spitter in the U.K. and you'll not find many if any who will argue with that. Even the other U.K. greats have Ghetts at #1 on a 140bpm tempo 😈🎤🔥🤜🔥🤜🔥
Mate.... I've been trying so hard to get some "karma" reactions cos unbelievably there's only a few on RU-vid 🤯.... I need more p-money mista jam freestyle reactions too but perhaps they just not ready? 😂 ✌
Great reaction, probably one of the best I’ve seen for this freestyle and this is the most heavily reacted UK freestyle out there. Wretch 32 feat Ghetto - Inna Di Ghetto This was one of Wretch’s first big releases.
Hahaha I was so hyped with how gassed you got over half these bars! Easily one of the best FITB's around! You're entertaining af to watch my guy, keep up the hustle!
Hey yo doc!! Just going through your archives man! You’re definitely an Avelino fan!! Appreciate your work!! I don’t see his last Daily Duppy in your achieves you gotta get surgical with it !! 🙏🏽💯
I am 52 but feel 16 inside fam, I was 15yrs in ghetto blues in Leeds bradford sound v sound in dancehalls n this developed 'grime' from dancehall is the foundation these artists keep you alive.
Fire in the booths are where you will find all the best artists from the UK bro. Mic Righteous fire in the booth part 3 is one to definately react to. He's one of the most passionate rappers in the world.
Found your channel yesterday and have been watching threw the reactions. you shouted out the UK just thought i let you know i`m viewing / sub from Glasgow Scotland. Much love keep up the reactions loving them!
these 3 artists below can 100% represent the best UK mc's for real conscious rap please react to them you wont be disappointed! : Akala - fire in the booth part 4 Mic righteous - fire in the booth part 3 Lowkey - fire in the booth part 2
Swiss - daily duppy.1000% must. I can guarantee you ain’t ever heard nothing like it. If you like punched & bars, it’s a must. Also Krept - Last night in Lagos
It wasn't a reference to Pushs T, The Dread is Wretch Three Two , that's how it's pronounced, Young fire is Avelino as his emergence over the last few years ,like a Prodigy to the Veteran Wretch 32 who is a veteran for over 15 years and has passed the baton to the Nu Era , who has the responsibility to take the mantle for the next coming decade.
This guy should be huge man. Its rare to find an American all over the the UK scene. Especially catching bare bars like this. It makes me so proud to be British. You should look at Bugzy Malone, Stormzy and slowthai. Im from the North of the UK (Liverpool) and Bugzy is repping it for the north man. ♥️
Context to graduation lyric in the UK First-Class Honours referred to 1st, Upper Second-Class Honours 2:1 Lower Second-Class Honours : 2.2 Third-Class Honours 3rd, this degree is the lowest honours degree achievable. In other words, he is first class, you don't have a 2:1 or 3:2 (by the way there is no 3:2 that after a 3rd you just fail), so you have not graduated and can not even stand next to him
Bro, this is the first video of you I see. And then I saw you pausing halfway thru the first bar, I was like "Yeah, yeah but let him finish tho". And that stank face didnt let me down! England got some meeeaaan mc's! Big up!
Great reaction bredrin, glad u see the ability the UK has, dope beats, singers, rappers, I mean even Rock and Roll, Queen, Beatles, list goes on. I from NYC but I've been listening to the UK hip hop since 2008. Check out Wretch and Ghetts group called The Movement, their Fire in the booth is a Classic.
I had to stop this video half way through. I never used to understand the point of reaction videos, or at least not find a good reason to watch them. You are a the reason my friend. By far the best reaction channel, you should consider vlogging if you haven't already! Love the fucking energy..your personality is going to take you places buddy
In the US your OG's own it hands down but the UK owns the rap game now. Our boys are dropping bars like a fucking mint producing pure gold! Wretch 32's bars were so sick it made Charlie Sloth ill hahahahaaaaa
Avelino has some great songs like origami, late nights in the 15 and he has some daily duppys as well. React to them they are great. Wretch 32 also some great FITBs and daily duppys
I think you have caught the most bars from this that I have seen. Wish someone would catch the university bar 2/1 and a 3/2 which are university degree marks.
Bro you the only guy to catch the bars in this fire. All these other reactors missed sooooo many bars, especially that final verse. That final verse is the best fucking verse ever, hands down.
yoooo glad you're getting into fire in the booth!!! please do Berna-fire in the booth and Mic Righteous-fire in the booth part 3 they're too fire big love from the UK
I watched your Lil dicky reaction and had soo much respect for your reaction. You catch the bars pause and break it down and i honestly just dreamed of you reacting to this exact video i never imagined you'd actually react to this. I'm here for it though and just glad you started with Wretch and Avelino but as an Anime fan I'm going to try get you on to Jafro - Blackbox and Jafro warm up session. I'm sure you'll be onto more lyricist from the UK but i need to try push this specific one as the rest I'm sure others will put you on.
So many great fire in the booths but would recommend lowkey part 1+2, akala parts 1-4, mic righteous parts 1-4, english frank, lunar c too many more to mention 🔥🔥🔥
The 'Writing's On The Wall' you know who 'Destiny's Child' is. Don't think you caught that one. Someone should make a reaction channel with one American and one British person so each can break down the stuff the other one misses, especially the cultural references!
