@The Hip-hop Underworld it's better to know what's going on in the world around you than to just try and be oblivious to it all. to 'hate politics' is to hate control over your own life.
@The Hip-hop Underworld I am not fascinated with it or obsessed, but it's a good song. I request hundreds of songs, probably 2% of what I request is political. And yeah they shouldn't be political really, but they are reacting to music, and music is expression of self, Dave should be allowed to say it, and reactors should be able to watch it.
The Hip-hop Underworld Don’t call yourself hip hop underworld and then moan about politics. Hip hop has been doing politics since the mid 80s. People like NWA and Public enemy were the natural successors to the political punk movement, or just any radical music movement. Know your history, cos you’re embarrassing yourself currently.
'Seconds the most precious commodity, I invest time. I was late every day straight for 3 years, I guess that's two ways I could never make a dead line'. Being late made him miss education deadlines. Being late is also the reason he can't make dead lines, as in bad lyrics. One of my favourite doubles of all time.
I thought he meant line as in a... erm... 'product' line, he was always late to class because he was busy with... business transactions? maybe? I'm making assumptions
Dave - Question time. A powerful politically motivated song. Dave - How i met my ex. A masterpiece love story song. Either way im just happy your doing more Dave songs. Not everyone appreciates how good he is.
You're probably already at the point where you dont care but incase you do, you really shouldn't care if you think people are gonna complain that you 'miss bars', the fact of the matter is nobody catches all of them on their first listen, people in the comments are used to people who pretend to react for the first time and repeat and explain all the bars, you just do you fam ✌🏼
I’m an old white hip hop head from the uk 🇬🇧 I had de la soul - three feet high & rising , public enemy - fear of a black planet & Eric b & rakim - paid in full & follow the leader on cassette for my first hip hop albums and I can confidently say Dave is now in my top 5 of ALL time, he’s 23 imagine what he’ll be saying when he’s older like Eminem’s pens improved (in my opinion) with age, daves a once in a generation talent writes, spits, composes, plays, produces and even directs some of his videos he’s a star , my top 10 btw rakim, Eminem, tech nine, NF, Joyner, Kendrick, j.Cole , devlin , token & Dave, reminds me a bit of the first time I heard devlin - community outcast but better. Daves question time, drama, psycho, panic attack, heart attack, black, hangman and black box freestyle are my faves at the moment, they keep changing lol
I don’t usually comment but my love from this song is unmatched. This rendition is spine tingling. Every word of it feels important. Dave is the King. P.S - ‘How I Met my Ex’ please listen.
M Huncho - Fire in the Booth Nafe Smallz - Fire in the Booth Theyre not like crazy wordplay or bars but it's such a chilled sort of vibe to their styles
Meanwhile Simon is listening to that bum NF lmao, I love simon as a guy but I could tell on rock reacts that Jon's view of rap was rapidly growing quicker than Simon's
So glad you did this, I recommend!! Other like this that will get you would ‘my 19th birthday’ and ‘how I met my ex’, dope reaction he’s carry’s the uk in my eyes
Loving following your journey through UK artists, I know you will have lots to get through, but please react to anything off of Kano's hoodies all summer, also logic from the people's army, Aaron unknown, I could go on but these are truly great artists. Love and blessings brother 🙏❤️
Hey man. Grew up with the UK rap scene, and I got to agree, Dave really is killing it right now. If you want a recommendation, I advise you to check out the UK's Logic (people's army) track called "spectator". The people's army was a UK movement started many years ago, which gave power to lyricism and the people, and included UK artists such as mic righteous, English Frank etc. (Around when sbtv first came about). Apart from that, I know you have listened to some cadet (rip), but his classics would be great to check out, and I know you'll enjoy it since its a deeper meaning storytelling type of rap. Cadet- Slut, Stereotype, Instagram girls freestyle are all fantastic. Keep up the momentum, the time for your channel will surely come with this great content! Some advice- if there was a bar or line in particular after the first reaction that you want to check out on genius which you may have missed, as viewers it would be interesting to see your reaction to that too after your initial reaction (and other non grime/ rap fans may even learn the intricacies of the bars with you too). Peace and love.
Amazing reaction man, really appreciate what ur saying about the perspective ur listening to the song from and how it can give an insight to what really goes on in London, because the fundamental route to why young people in London have problems derive from the government and the system they have to make us fail. The exposure that we’re getting from this genre of music is hopefully a sign of change and hopefully more people ur age and race can watch these videos and try to understand. But I’m glad that you enjoyed it and amazing review can see how he touched you.
Picture Me live on Jools Holland is similarly impressive. Dave has a way of blowing you away with his poetry but also the gospel truth like commitment he has to telling his story. (For any future consideration I think you might enjoy artists like Yungblud who writes songs like Machine Gun about mass shootings in US or King Charles which is about austerity govt's impact on the youth in the UK. I Love You Will You Marry Me is another interesting one about a piece of street art that got commercialised and the ethics of it. He writes interesting stuff about youth perspective.)
Great video, I think How I met my ex or my 18th birthday from his game over album are really interesting. Also all of his freestyles on RU-vid are good too. It’s cool to share a last name with you aswell :)
love your reaction bro, hearing great songs played live hits different every time for some reason, especially with Dave. Im going to recommended you have a listen to Ocean Wisdom's new mixtape Big Talk Vol 1. He released it independently after leaving High Focus Records which he tells us about very well in the mixtape with context explained over skits scattered throughout the mixtape. He has some very high profile features on it to, I think you would love you marbles over it!
Notifications 🔔 on! Big shoutout for really listening to comment suggestions and connecting with your audience. What music is all about, now gonna go watch the vid lol
Yes mate! I've just stumbled upon your channel whilst doing a massive cull of RU-vid reaction channel subscriptions... really enjoyed your work on rock reacts,and looking forward to finally seeing some decent content from someone a similar age that actually has an interest in the music I love. Subbed before I watched this video as I know that anyone who sees it will dig, such an awesome performance. Not sure what you have seen before but happy to suggest a shedload of content if you want?
before the decade ends, i hope you can give mista thug isolation a try. it is an essential for the decade and when serious shit comes, god damn its gonna hit
No where near the same level as this overall, but since you liked that ibra/vardy line so much I really recommend don strapzys freestyles, the king of footy bars
