BROCKHAMPTON - GINGER | FULL ALBUM REACTION / REVIEW!!! 

“If Iridescence is chaos then this is clarity” like that’s the type of analysis that I couldn’t see any other reactor giving

Brockhampton era on Jon Denton's channel will go down as one of the best weeks in history

Time stamps: NO HALO : 1:08 SUGAR : 3:48 BOY BYE : 5:15 HEAVEN BELONGS TO YOU : 6:43 ST. PERCY : 7:52 IF YOU PRAY RIGHT : 9:35 DEARLY DEPARTED : 13:04 I BEEN BORN AGAIN : 18:30 GINGER : 20:11 BIG BOY : 22:16 LOVE ME FOR LIFE : 23:24 VICTOR ROBERTS : 25:44 :)

quicker than shawn cee

Jesus man, you reacted to Brockhampton’s whole discography in less than a week! You’re crazy.

This channel has been the best part of my week. Thank you prophet.

I think Merlyns verse on If You Pray Right was aimed at skepta, apparently he asked skepta for a feature on iridesence (merlyn was a big fan + they were recording on london, i think it was going to be on 'where the cash at' which would explain why it ended up being so short) and something happened where it didnt come through. Skepta's next album used the same thermal cam on the album cover that iridesence did, which would explain the first 2 lines of merlyns verse. Also in the music video for IFPR Merlyn uses a LOT of the same gestures and facial expressions that were on skeptas album cover

Feel like people don’t understand the story of GINGER. This is how I perceive it, maybe this album just hits home for me idk. They come into the album knowing there is something wrong, but aren’t sure how to express this feeling. They try to hide from it, shown in BOY BYE, but to no avail (Negative lyrics shown in a positive light). The slowthai track represents them doing drugs/alcohol (Kevin talks about doing drugs in ARIZONA BABY) to hide from their true feelings. St Percy and IYPR proceeds to represent the band as drunk, goofy, angry (video for IYPR). The drugs “wear” off in the second half of IYPR, leaving them in a hungover state. Kevin beats himself up wondering why is he doing this to himself, leading up to DEARLY DEPARTED where they let everything out. The rest of the album is accepting what has happened and who they are now, realising that everyone has problems moving on.

Dude my face lit up and my jaw dropped when I heard slowthai

ur one of the only reaction channels that actually give some heartfelt insight on the music ur reviewing

Check out Kevin’s album, it is really personal and has some great moments. Plus it is only like 30 min long

Run the Jewels season whenever RTJ4 is going to drop.

Listened to the album a few times now and couldn’t quite word how I felt but melancholy hits the nail on the head, I believe. Quite a sad piece of work and was blown away by dearly departed

This is what review channels should be. Your comparison of Iridescence and Ginger was absolutely spot on. Incredible that you've listened to their entire collection in a week.

Sad to see Brockhampton szn over, thankyou for the journey and the grind jd, loved it all 🔥

this album was a true work of art

the phrase I'd use to describe this album is "reluctantly cathartic"

When Dom spat his last bars on DEARLY DEPARTED, my hands instantly came to my mouth with shock. I've never heard something so powerful in music before

After that Album i wished BH would hug me, or just somebody it leaves you with such a Smooth and loved Feeling idk if its just me but i felt like on iredidesince they let out all their Frustration and Problems in a more darker and harder way and this Album is like the calm After the Storm like they realised that life just has Problems and that speaking to others is a good solution for Feeling better like through all their Albums its like they told a life Story and this Album is like "yeah this is me/us"

Apparently Merlyn's verse on IYPR was aimed at Skepta for potentially copying the iridescence style for his album cover, as they wanted him to feature on the album but he didn't end up doing so. Also, in the music video Merlyn poses in ways very similar to those seen on Skepta's album cover. This is only something I read but it all adds up

Jon out here doing five albums in a week. Thank you, Jon.

React to Arizona Baby by Kevin Abstract, it’s his recent album. Opens up a lot on there.

Dearly Departed may be brockhamptons best song ever Edit: I guess I should clarify, it may be the best purely based on how impacted I was by the verses. Some of their other songs are better musically though I would agree

victor roberts deserved so much more recognition. i’ve talked to victor many times and i’m actually meeting him this weekend. so many people skip his track but that dude has gone through so much and deserves so much more than what people give him from his solo track.

dearly departed is doms greatest verse. that was a lot of emotion. i was blown away by that track and still am.

Bless your soul, Jon. You beautiful, beautiful man.

THE HYPE FOR THIS VIDEO IS UNREAL!!!! THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT WORK THIS WEEK JON KEEP IT UP!!! (also can we get death grips soon ILY)

Thank you so much for all the great content this week Jon! The grind doesn't go unnoticed!

I feel the Saturation trilogy set such a high standard and I feel like the last two BROCKHAMPTON albums have, instead of trying to live up to that standard, set a new one with a more introspective and alternative shoegaze lo-fi hip hop vibe.

ST. PERCY Is something else, man. Absolute banger!

Merlyn has some outstanding verses sprinkled throughout all of the bands albums. For example: milk, swim, Tonya, if you pray right... I think they get overlooked sometimes because he usually is the hype man, just going crazy. Never heard you discuss a Merlyn verse Jon

Your work ethic is unmatched!! Cheers!

You’re killing it dude. Your taste has evolved so much

Jon "JD the prophet" Denton out here working harder than any channel. Shoutout from South Africa you should really check out some of the Hip hop from here.

I knewwwww you were gonna love dearly departed that dom verse is something else

You need to listen to the Death Grips discography its a wild ride

Great review! Sugar was my fave from the album hands down

You should really listen to Arizona Baby by Kevin Abstract it was released this year and it's really good and Kevin talks more about his life and everything that has happened.

It was great going on this Brockhampton journey again watching someone listen to their discography for the first time. Considering how much you liked them I think you would really enjoy Injury Reserve too

As someone who was slightly disappointed in first hearing this record, your reaction has helped me somewhat understand it and grasp the clarity of it

Yes!!! Been waiting for this, the album is fucking amazing

NOTI SQUAD. I adored this album, can't wait to see what you think

we have now hit the end of brockhampton szn. so now it’s valid for me to ask... veteran reaction?

Really liked how you referenced some points you made on your reviews of their previous albums, it makes this review quite accessable

been lovin brockhampton season, please reveiw kevin abstacts solo album Arizona Baby, that was released between iridesense and ginger

Can't believe we're finally here. Brockhampton season has given me something to look forward to daily, so proud of you my dude.

When this album came out I was at my cousins I went downstairs to find him sitting with it playing we went straight back to the beginning and just listened we got to Saint Percy when my sister came down , we listened up to boy bye and got in the car on an 3 and a half hour car journey . Listening to it on the way there and the amount of memories I have with the albumn , from the first three and ginger bring the songs I listened to all summer love me for life and saint Percy together in autumn and finally victor roberts in December this album is beautiful it helped me through so much

I actually learn so much from these. The commentary is so insightful.

Thought it was average when I first listened to it but after my 5th listen it's my favourite BH album to date Dom's verse killed me. I didn't even listen to IBBA.

If you want to understand the bridge between Iridescence and Ginger, you should listen to Arizona Baby by Kevin, it's sort of like a full direction change and I see a lot of Kevin's solo style in Ginger, in terms of music and production. Also it's unlikely you'll see a ton of solo work, don't even know if Arizona really counts to their contract, but they're contracted to do 6 albums in 2 years I think, so all the lyrics about being trapped are probably down to that; likely this will be followed up real soon.

Easily the best music reactor , we never see people give in depth responses. Absolutely love it ! Keep it up !

Wait. I just realized HEAVEN BELONGS TO YOU and IF YOU PRAY RIGHT have the same beat. I'm slow

Do Arizona Baby! It deserves it.

Life was good when this came out and this album is a classic

Found your channel a few months ago, so glad you got to go through brockhampton the way you did, there's a lot of emotion and power behind the boys. Cant wait to see when you review their future works.

Outkast season jon, the South got something to say that all I got to say.

Keep up the good work Jon, loving this album 🔥

It's been so fun watching this while waiting for The Family to drop! I hope you review it too. I'm loving the singles so far

These are the kind of reactions that make J.D one of the best out there. Quality review

Sugar is one of the best songs of 2019

Don't get me wrong, I like Simon but you were always my favorite part of Rock Reacts and I watched since your second or third month as a channel. Your wonderful reactions to the Brockhampton and Kendrick albums(admittedly the only I've seen on your personal channel) are fantastic watches. I sincerely hope you keep this channel going because I thoroughly enjoy your opinions and insights on music. There's only one other music reviewer/reactor that I watch. I don't want to be one of those people who spams your comments with reaction suggestions(I think I left just one on all of the Rock Reacts channel), but I'd eagerly suggest you listen to Royalty by Childish Gambino. If you've already heard it, I get it. But it has some of his best bars and most introspective lyrics as well as some relatively early features from artists such as Danny Brown, Chance the Rapper(pre-Acid Rap), and Nipsey Hustle. There's also a couple Wu Tang features and Bun B for good measure. If you haven't heard it, it's my favorite Childish Gambino project even though I recognize Because The Internet as his best in an objective sense. Also, Sat II=Iridescence>Sat 1>Ginger>Sat 3 and I haven't heard All American Trash yet. Also Kevin Abstract's Arizona Baby is a good album but not quite as good as his work with Brockhampton. Like you, I stan Dom. (Sorry, I'm very drunk right now)

Have loved your reactions, thank you SO MUCH for your dedication, definitely puts into perspective their work and how far they’ve come

bro you fast. love this album and your channel. keep it up bruh

I feel like they pulled a YOTS with this album, with how a lot of the singles seemed underwhelming, but in context with the rest of the album, they worked perfectly

Btw the album cover is shot in Norway, explains the gloominess

This week has been incredible, can’t wait to see where the channel goes next

your analysis are gold. Keep doing it! I love love love your reactions

yoo thank you for all these reactions man great job

So Brockhampton discography is done now... Maybe it's time for Death Grips?

finished my second full listen today and it made me appreciate the album so much more. at first there was like 3 or 4 i really liked with the rest average but after my second listen i realized how amazing the album as a whole was. great reaction and can’t wait for more.

The instrumental on Dearly Departed before matt got a Tame Impala vibe

This has been the best week thanks to you JD! No one works as hard as the Prophet💪🏼 You have to check out Kevin Abstract’s ‘Arizona Baby’ next!

🗣The only reaction channel I watch now due to the dedication and passion for music

TIMESTAMPS NO HALO: 1:04 SUGAR: 3:48 BOY BYE: 5:15 HEAVEN BELONGS TO YOU: 6:43 ST. PERCY: 7:52 IF YOU PRAY RIGHT: 9:37 DEARLY DEPARTED: 13:02 I BEEN BORN AGAIN: 18:30 GINGER: 20:10 BIG BOY: 22:14 LOVE ME FOR LIFE: 23:25 VICTOR ROBERTS: 25:44

Holy shit i’ve listened through this album 6 times today

Did not expect this that quick my man after the grind you've been on

I've been watching through all the brockhampton season vids today, and I cant find your review of iridescence anywhere, did something happen to it?

Unfortunately I'm Italian and I understand a few words of all of these tracks. I think that this Album is so deep and powerful with a great prod. I just discovered this artist and I like it so much. If someone can explain me the significate of this album I would be so happy hahaha. Great video anyway :)

Love how you Let the music ride and you really get into it, keep up the good content and reaction sincerely a new subscriber

Me watching a jon denton reaction video: *finally some good fucking food*

did he not do an iridescence reaction, or was it taken down?

React to run the jewels trilogy...is exactly what you will like I’m sure !! At least the 3rd albumm..is the best..killer mike is a legend

man boy bye sugar and St. percy had HELLA bounce and energy, they definitely focused on the slower more laid-back side but it's not like the first few tracks were a slow ride up by any means

Listen to ARIZONA BABY by Kevin Abstract! That’s my favorite album of the year!

JD i don’t know if you’ve seen me comment before. I’m writing this before I watch your reaction but this Ginger album is special... keep doing your thing

Im a fan of yours for life now. u said Deftones White Pony!!! my favorite album of all time

Thanks for all the great videos this week Jon! I've listened to Ginger about 3 times and i gotta say it is growing on me more as i listen. I don't know where it will end up in my best albums of 2019 or how it would rank with the rest of their discography yet, but I'll definitely be listening to it a lot. So for next artists that we need a season for i recommend MF DOOM (including alias' Viktor Vaughn, King Geedorah, Danger Doom, KMD), JPEGMAFIA, clipping, Flying Lotus (including Captain Murphy). Also King Krule if you haven't heard of him, he seems right up your alley.

album cover was shot in oslo, norway!!

Was just about to listen to it when I got the notification

concise and well-thought out review. liftin weights out here boi.

Great season Proph The next time you do one of these I'd recommend Tyler, the Creator (at least the albums before Flower Boy, given that you've listened to that and IGOR already)

Have to say as well JD that if you keep up this standard of thoughtful, considered, genuine analysis for the rest of your videos, you’ll become one of the biggest reactors on this site. I mean that sincerely, what a fantastic set of vids 👍

Big boy had me in tears man

Ahh I love your channel. You love the same elements I do in many of your reviews and bring up great points. But you also challenge and frustrate me sometimes when you listen to most my favorite songs you don't care for em (like sugar or big boy which was probablymy 2 fav on the album. So its always a love, hate, tug of war type of discussion within me while watching yo videos, but thats what opinions are for.. Which keeps me coming back, cause I agree with the perspectives you give and hear stuff I never heard before but I overall love your analysis on music. Much love and good vibes to ya brotha.

You made my week, ty JD

Love this channel, this is how you react to music, although would add a spliff

Finally got around to watching this reactuon BH week has been crazy and i love the new album so much boutta grab some popcorn and settle in to the hardest working channel in the game react to some Fiyahh
