Avelino - Origami (REACTION!!!) 

Never apologize for breaking a song down lyrically, fellas, cause that's what sets you apart from everyone else. It's these breakdowns that have increased my appreciation for rap and have really turned me on to so many new artists. I don't come from this culture so the breakdowns allow me access. And holy SHIT was this song fire. Playlist for certain. It's time, boys and girls, for Haiku Request Line! Here we go. Lingus is the song Snarky Puppy killin'it Your minds will be blown

Avelino was homeless when he was discovered by Wretch 32. That’s why he’s so humble and looks up to wretch

Been waiting patiently for some Avelino 🔥🔥 excellent review 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I definitely appreciate you guys explaining why something is good, thank you! It's especially helpful for people that aren't familiar with whatever genre you're talking about, so we can know what to look for as we continue to explore the genre.

I am so glad you guys are still putting out videos cuz I just discovered your Channel 2 days ago and I've been binge watching them all day

Thank you for the reaction to more uk artists love from the UK

Love your breakdowns! Don't stop!

I truly wish nothin but the best for you guys. Y’all have so much positive energy and y’all give great points and critiques. I pray that y’all have non stop success. I’ve become to only watch this channel on my spare time cuz you guys are great entertainment. No one does these reaction videos like y’all. Great work fellas

Lets get it back to the UK scene and Avelino at that. Imma keep it a hundred and say Avelino has the kit to crossover and make some noise out here in the US but he just needs the right PR and prolly link up with some of the rappers here and represent for the UK. He got the wordplay and his delivery with his accent is good as well and I was rocking with it. So I hope Avelino makes it big man and great job dissecting the bars on this record Lost In Vegas.

Really appreciate your work guys, especially when you react powerfully and just hype and get fun from it, including for the analysis of lines that you do not miss ! Personally i watch LiV, because many now just forgot how much in rap "the word" itself is important .. And it's dope that you appreciate UK, Avelino is truly great, but you MUST check Ghetts, it's one of the UK legends (and Grime legends ofc) - you must react Ghetts - Daily Duppy; or Fire in the Booth and etc. Make justice for this man. Greetings from Russia!

I always watch y'alls videos when I'm early to work and sitting in the parking lot. Good job from Louisiana!

Love your enthusiasm here, getting me excited for rap. Keep m coming!

React to krept - last night in Lagos. For Christ sake just do it already!!!

Great video as usual guys! Been a subscriber for a few months now (since I saw your reaction to Wretch & Avelino FITB) but it's my first time commenting. The power of your channel to introduce people to music is amazing. I'm actually from the UK, yet you've introduced me to a few songs by UK artists I hadn't actually heard about myself. Personally, I've been a much bigger fan of US rap for the last decade or so because I felt the lyricism was at a much better standard and to me that's the most important thing for a rapper to have.It's so refreshing to see reviews where the lyrical content is being recognised and commended, so props to you guys for that! I'm not sure I agree with you on Wretch and Avelino being the big two in the UK though haha. I'd love to hear you listen to some more music by Dave. I genuinely get a similar feeling when listening to his music as I did listening to Section.80 by Kendrick; he's finding his musical identity and something big is coming in the future. His lyricism is on important matter, his wordplay (he DID mean that Dominos pizza wordplay haha) and flow are incredible for someone so young and I really do see him crossing over into the US. A few of his songs that I think you'd really like and that show his raw talent are My 19th Birthday, his latest single Hangman and particularly Panic Attack (Live from Future Festival 2017) ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kD86A-y6ErU.html ) which is just him and a piano and really showcases his talent. Thanks for all the great content and recommendations guys. Keep doing what you're doing and you deserve all the success you get! :)

Man big love for you guys from south london, MY G'S , love how in depth you guys go. showing these guys what real rap is about

Love the UK reactions, nice to see you guys taking interest in the UK scene, some other suggestions Konan - Last Night in LA / UK Hip Hop Krept - Last Night in Lagos (insane wordplay)/ UK Hip Hop Skepta - That’s Not Me / UK Grime Wretch 32 - His and Hers / UK Hip Hop Dizzee Rascal - I Luv U / UK Grime Dave - Samantha / UK Hip Hop Kano - 3 Wheel-Ups / UK Grime

Admittedly, rap isn't my thing. That said, your videos really put it in perspective. It's certainly given me more respect and appreciation for the genre even if it won't make a playlist.

Nothing better then you guys doing uk music plz keep them coming

Really insightful reaction as usual Ryan & George. Always love when you come with the UK music man. You say Avelino is easily your favourite rapper from over here but you haven't reacted to a huge proportion of UK rappers at all as of yet, we've got a lot more talent over here for sure. You 100% need to listen to Kano, as well as MCs like Ghetts, Chip, Nines, Giggs, Fredo, Wiley to name a few. Also I know you 2 prefer listening to actual songs but here in the UK freestyle videos like Fire in the Booth are a huge part of the culture. They're often used as a platform for MCs to show how hard their bars are and are broadly used as a marker for who's the best in the scene. Would love to see you react to Kano's Fire in the Booth, along with Bugzy Malone's and also Nines'. Keep up the great work man

Loved listening and experiencing this, I'm usually a metal/hard rock guy myself. This dude is so clever the way he wrote this tune, thanks for breaking it down, will definitely keep listening to this guy.

I loooove that you guys post multiple videos a day, makes yall the best music reationers (idk if thats a word) but anyway love you guys, been rockin with yall somce the beginning. Id love for yall to review blue lights by jorja smith (the colors version) or We Could Be Better by Janine. Keep up the great vids ❤

As always awesome vid as usual and thanks for introducing a new artist to me. #freethinkers Also did you guys check out j.cole new album yet?

I challenge you to find every bit of wordplay in krept - last night in Lagos. You two are gonna go off it when you listen to it.

Great reaction fam much love from the UK 👊✊👍

Never listened to UK/European rap until I heard it on you guys’ channel. I’ve been fucking bumpin it recently, thank you for introducing me! You guys should check out Ghost Division by Sabaton

You guys should really check out anything done by Wiley in order to really get what the UK sound really sounds like. Like Avelino is super sick, but he's still much more hip-hop than genuinely grime.

Also, I love how you guys love MUSIC. My father always told me, (and he was a musician) that there really is no such thing as bad music. What someone calls trash could be someone else's treasure. Music is universal and in one way or another effects everyone. Whether negative or positive, it has an effect. Again, love and respect

Sick guys thanks for doing this! Would love to see a reaction to Avelino’s album though haha 💯

NIN - Closer for an intro to industrial music

I was watching your reviews of Metallica and Megadeth and it hit me that if your Channel puts out merchandise you two should have your own bobbleheads... And I mean that in the most sincere form of flattery. That would be awesome

Yeah!!!!! I've been waiting for that so long!

LiV - greetings from Vegas, had to come get some of your ☀️ this week! This dude is super dope. Things I love about UK rap- the accent and the slang. In all other music you don't hear the accent and I love how it affects the word play ✌️

Could you please react to Wretch 32 his and hers perspective Konan Last night in LA If your looking for word play

That interpretation of relevancy into currency is easy is correct and one could say a nod to the old adage "Talent beats hard work when talent doesn't work hard". Also many whom we refer to as "Clout chasers" have little to zero talent but are relevant because of what they do i.e. trolling etc

Oh, and great reaction. I'm not a hiphop fan but this was definitely good. I'm an old hardrock/metalhead so your first time reactions are awesome.

Been wanting to get into lyricism and you guys making it easy for a metal head. Much love. 🙏

Not a big UK rap guy but Avelino is HARD! Do Alcest - Oiseaux de Proie! It's a sound you havent really heard before so I'd be interested to hear your take.

I really respect your reviews, nice breakdown as usual. Have you by any chance listened to Kano, he's a legendary UK MC.

Ayy, big up Raf Riley on the production for this tune! Also, I’m telling you Avelino -U Can Stand Up ft Dave!

I like that he said other than. He's still got someone he looks up to....which keeps you humble and working...and shows respect...plus it is unexpected.

Great video guys, Avelino is one of the best rappers over here out now and I love that you've shined some light on some of the most talented MC's from the UK. If you guys like UK Mc's such as Avelino and Wretch 32 (arguably my favourite UK MC) you'd definitley like Klashnekoff, an extermely gifted but criminally slept on MC from London who in my opinion one of the best MC's the UK has ever produced . He only released two real albums (the rest are dope mixtape albums) but his first album, the sagas of Klashnekoff 2 is a certified UK underground hip hop classic. It would be great if you could review or react to possibly his most popular song "Murda", "all I got" or"B4 u die" or "parrowdice" which features members from his crew, terra firma (who are also talented). There are a few other standouts in the UK scene such as Kano, ("the product" being a personal favourite), JME ("no one wants a punch in the face") Kojey Radical ("fuck your feelings") Ghetts ("top three selected") but Klashnekoff for me just as talented is cut above

Why are you not doing J Cole's new album K.O.D. or his video for ATM off of K.O.D. His album in #1 in US and 35 other countries. His track K.O.D. off the album broke Spotify's 24 hr record for most spin (4.2...) and unseated Taylor Swift (3.88). The album is fire and so mind blowing. Please I've been looking for the notification all the week-end. It dropped 4/20/18.

Gents, allow me to take this moment of your time to say thank you. From one free thinker to another. I'm a 2nd generation 'Murican (Mexican/American) that grew up in many different cities so sink, swim, or be the Captain were the only options for me. The music I grew up with was Tejano (Spanish country) but, Rap Rock, R&B and Blues was in my ears before I was sneaking off in my pops Caddy. I don't recall exactly how I stumbled upon your channel but I'm grateful for it none the less. Watching you two grow more comfortable in your own skin has given me some confidence to get from writing to the other side of the lens. As a token of my appreciation and knowing how much you two seem to enjoy the writing of a lyrical artist but something you could also jam out to.... take a peek at TOBE TWIGWE - JOCKIN or FUEGO. Houston artist with content and sick flow. Enjoy.

Man, I think the "reaction" movement part of music has really opened my eyes and allowed me to think of music in a completely different form of view. Ryan and George really nail it though when you go in depth about the lines and what they mean and it honestly makes me kind of connect to the artist and what they're thinking and feeling and getting to react to that along side you guys is putting me on a whole nother level. Cheers

You guys should react to Disturbed "Down with the sickness". Then react to their sound of silence cover, to see the range of the band

AVATAR ; Let it burn or Hail the Apocalypse live at Wacken

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE UK STUFF MAN so much good uk music coming out right now

YES YES YES!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING 🔥🔥🔥🔥

You guys ganna do some J.Coles songs from his album

Toehider - Whatever Makes You Feel Superior. Would love to hear your thoughts on this amazing one man band.

Just found you guys over the weekend, and I've already watched a ton of your vids. Good stuff! How about reviewing (reacting to) Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Stagger Lee or Red Right Hand, and Pulp - Common People or Babies? Keep up the great work!

Every other line flew over my head because of that slick delivery

Jus a Rascal - Dizzie Rascal

Please do Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven

You guys are breath of fresh air on youtube. I'm so glad I ran into your Holy Wars reaction all those months ago. You should check out We Will Fall Together by Streetlight Manifesto!

You guys are brilliant, expert feedback on any genre of music, analysing ever part to a song, keep it up 👌, you should do Parkway Drive - Wishing Wells

FAITH NO MORE--MIDLIFE CRISIS

Architects - these colors don’t run

Love this react, not my music, but had a good sound and y’all do a great job of putting the spotlight on the poetry that’s involved in rap.

You guys are quality. im new to your page and tryin to get through all the vids which im realy enjoying. You guys are bang on with what you say. Im from the uk and didnt no about avelino because whenever i watched FITB his bit was cut out but hes in my playlist now thanks to you guys. You should have a look at Kano, Bugsy Malone and the The Streets👌👍

Do Slipknot - Disasterpiece. pleeeease! It's the best song for an all round Slipknot showcase.

J. Cole - ATM VIDEO (KOD ALBUM) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I loved that line, "They're turning lyricist into a dirty word now". I also love how much new rap you guys have introduced me to, coming from a mostly metal background but always appreciating rap, it's been hard to find rappers in modern times that I liked but you seem to unearth some great ones! So I just want to thank you for that

Great vid! Love your UK reactions. You were pretty much right with the "When this winner stays on / The game can control us" bar. "Winner stays on" is something you do when you're with your mates playing FIFA (the football [soccer] video game). If you win a game you get to play the next game, and so on 'til you lose. And yeah I think you're right that he's punning on "controllers" with "control us", as in Xbox/Playstation "controllers". Not sure what the bar means overall though! My impression is that "the game can control us" is a reference to how winner-stays-on sessions can go for ages if the same person keeps winning. And the analogy is presumably with the rap "game", the music business. Is he saying that the constant success he's been having is making him obsessive in making his music in some way? Someone help me out...

Been getting in to avelino lately but haven't heard this song. Shit is dope.

Wretch 32 or Kano are the best in the Uk

God damn that song went hard!!!! Gotta check out more of this guy

I remember the first time going through a playlist in my car with the system volume near max and Avelino - FYO came on. The windows barely survived.

PEARL JAM BLACK PLEASE SIRS

Dudes do Metallica creeping Death

Hey guys great job! I always appreciate your breakdowns. I come from a rock/metal background so it's cool to get a feel for the artistry involved in some of the different styles you guys feature on your channel. I'd love to hear your opinions of either Veil of Maya "Mikasa" or Periphery "The Way the News Goes..." Keep up the good work!!

I Love you guys talking about UK rappers. We have been there since day one and we get it. Rapping is in out blood - black and white.

React to Jorja Smith - On my mind

Rammstein plz

"Soul Sacrifice" - Santana Live at Woodstock in 1969 Amazing old-school jam.

Your reactions are so refreshing. I absolutely have shared your reactions. Others react and repeat bars, well anyone listening can do that! Your skill of interpretation creates an opportunity to entice new fans to a world of talent and in this case UK talent. Thank you for that guys. This isn't new but I think you might enjoy this and I would love to see your reaction to something a little different, The 15th - Wretch 32 and Avelino. It's off of their collaborated album. Great album, I never skip a track.

Tool aenima/korn-daddy

Please listen to more UK music! Mic righteous - fire in the booth part 3 Lowkey - Ahmed (very political)

Hey guy I just found your channel yesterday and have been watching all I can. I'm a young guy but don't really listen to new music and it kills me when people look over all the great old music, i like you guys because you try to shed some light on music that some would pass right over. P.S. I'd love to hear what you think of John Prines - Sam Stone or Hello in there, this guy is a story teller!

Finally caught one of your guys' videos semi-early, maybe you'll see this lol. I've been loving the reviews for a while now, maybe you'd wanna try out some Type O Negative. Black No. 1 is a classic, kinda summarizes their sound. I don't think you guys have ever tried anything similar to them as well (then again, it's hard to find a band like them). Like I said, love the reviews guys. I appreciate you keeping the quality high while maintaining a great posting schedule.

Listen to Type O Negative - Love you to death. I will never stop until you review this song!

KOD album reaction!

Never really been into UK rappers but that's why I watch yall cuz I dig this track & prob wouldn't have heard it otherwise

Ryan's like "I didn't want that to end" lol

Damn .. I love the way you guys champion avelino , here in the uk 🇬🇧 they don't take him in enough he is so underrated!! He's pen game is so crazy ..

I was getting ready to remind you about da UK but you beat me to it !!!!.. Avelino is legit . His video U can Stand up is fire...also listen to Black Sabbaths Changes .lyrics are so deep. Before I found your channel I would never have listened to Sabbath let alone recommend one of their songs . Guess i'm a freethinker in the making , MAJOR respect to Lost in Vegas.

I recently stumbled upon you guys and I am so glad I did. You guys are truly bringing people together with music and It is incredible. Covering so many different genres, I watched like all of your metal and rock reviews in one shot. I think I heard Ryan say a few times that he wished hip-hop would incorporate more instruments like a band but the chemistry is not the same. I highly recommend you both check out Gym Class Heroes, even if you don't review them they are incredible. They are a hip hop BAND. So many good songs it is hard to pick a favorite. Please look them up, you will not regret it. Cant wait for more reactions!

Been watching a lot of your guys reviews recently and I'm loving it, keep up the great work! Until the world goes cold by Trivium?

Tragically Hip!! you guys will love them

Glad you guys got to this. Been requesting this. Check out man don’t care by JME ft. Giggs. Two grime OG’s snapping off

My world doesn't really include rap or hop hop (or really any inner -city lifestyle norm) so I am grateful that you guys are taking the time to show what and why

This dude is really at that elite level of lyricism... jeeeez.

With the controller things it's very common in UK, when playing FIFA for example with a large group of friends we play with 'winner stays on rules'; the loser passes their controller over to someone else to try and beat the winner and the winner holds onto their controller. So he's been winning consecutively.

Long time coming - Avelino. That track is 🔥

Alright guys. I just found you via a friend. Love what you do, love how you are into the actual art of music. I'll throw out that I'm a niche metalhead (folk and power metal alongside the classics) I challenge you to a journey, a power-ballad. Avantasia "The Wicked Symphony" or "Let the Storm Descend Upon You" Hell, theres other bands (tyr, Turrisas, Eluveitie [and I fully believe that you will enjoy all three, but hell, I wanna see you guys feel a powerballad start to end])

Thank you for opening my eyes to something different. #FreeThinkers

Glad to see that you like Avelino. In his Daily Duppys (very clever he's got 2) he gives Wretch props as well. Have a look at Avelino F64, clever writing again. Keep up the good work

Hi Ryan and George, always a pleasure listening to you intelligently break down bars. I know you both love Avelino so why not react to his Daily Duppy and Behind Barz; you will be pleased.

I liked the song and really enjoyed your breakdown....dude is talented..i liked his flow.

Glad you guys are giving the UK love. I'm Canadian and they are popular in Canada, I would love to see more stateside exposure. Wavey Tunes!!!! Wanna know Remix - Dave Feat Drake Mad About Bar-M Huncho Fisherman- jhus mostack mist Mist-Smokey Blessings- Cooper Rexx
