I was already shook from the other guys verse before that, the I'll hurt him followed by the 1 things for sure 2 things for certain made me back away from the phone. I love the word play too 😤🔥
"took a shot but he missed then made love to ground and kissed the curb, whats the word? I dodged a case so i flipped the bird.." that transition, flow, and word play is top tier
@@DannyOfOurTime you just said these boys ooze lock stock styleand the other matey said they could be in a guy Ritchie movie and soundtrack but guy Ritchie films are made about gangsters before the road man's times
@@MrBeetsGaming There is NO video of them rapping accapela , none.. it is all horrible dubs of them syncing to the music, or just hanging out. They are an act, a great act, but they are not spitting those rhymes.
As an artist who grew up on Nas, Jadakiss, jay z, mobb deep, master p, UGK, 8ball and MJG, big L, the roots, ect I have mad respect for these guys. The delivery is spot on most new rappers can't even stay on beat and these gentlemen are flawless with it 🔥🔥
@@AdJOR for Nas anything on his illmatic Album is a conflagration. Nas was known to be a menace on the mic but he went God Mode on that album. "I am" is a pretty good 2nd with "Hate Me Now" being the frontrunner single. Up to preference though as many people liked "I am" more 🤷 As far as Big L, no offense, but I prefer Big Pun, Fat Joe, Nelly, or Fat Pat. Most of their stuff was better overall. To me Big L was like Bone crusher, had a few bangers but fizzled out quickly.
@@AdJOR any album from either artist. The big picture was big L's final album but was posthumously released so some tracks didn't seem like it was his newest material. As we know Nas still dropping heat gotta listen to magic 3
“Kipling missed him, run up in the house and gripped him, mrs cried goodbye and kissed him, stuffed him in the boot of the jag and then she watched us drive off in the distance.” Was a cold line. Mad respect
@@iRjarlok Battenburg is a type of cake. Kipling, as in Mr Kipling is a famous brand of cakes in the UK. Bas says “mess with the cake I’ll battenburg him” - as in don’t mess with the goods (drugs) or I’ll put him in an ambulance. Battenburg south london slang for police cars due to the checkered square pattern on in them resembles the checkered squares in the cake, but can also mean ambulance for the same reason. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battenburg_markings It’s insane word play basically.
For other people from the U.S. who didn't get it: battenberg is a type of English cake with a checkerboard pattern inside; there's a very similar pattern on emergency vehicles in many countries outside the U.S. And "cake" is money or coke.
@@basedplants Holy shit thanks for explaining that to me, I assumed battenburg was a cake and he was making a pun on just that but you let me know there were like 3 other layers I missed!
Bro, your beats are insanely good. Didn’t you do Pain & Strife by Norman Pain? That’s one one of my favorite tracks bro. Jesus, you guys are so good together. 🤜🏾🤛🏾
Holy fuck these were the best bars I've heard in a long fucking time holy fucking shit!!! "Burn that rubber like I'm Michelin, five star food that I dish to them, chef's hat on when I'm whipping in the kitchen, then I switch suits like I'm Mr. Ben" FUCKING UNREAL BARS
I can't believe nobody is talking about the burn that rubber like I'm Michelin (as in the tire company) that's the 5 star meal I dish to them (as in a 5 star Michelin chef) chef hat on when I'm whippin in the kitchen (chef hat cuz 5 star Michelin chef plus whippin as in whipping eggs and whippin a dude's arse) then I change suits (cuz it's prob covered in blood from the whippin he just gave the dude) like I'm Mr. Ben (call back to the food thing)
@@CornerCastCrew idk about the UK, but here in the states, " whippin in the kitchen" ," cookin up in the kitchen", means cooking up a batch of crack cuz you do it on the stove.
“I’ll hurt em,1 thing for sure and 2 things for certain, moneys made off the packs I’m servin” 🔥🔥🔥 somebody tell em they ain’t have to go in like this 😂
Pete and Bas are my heros. I haven't listening to any music since the early 2000s. But now, OMG!!! This is what the industry need, they're better than 99% of whats out here. Can't wait to hear more. Please, America really needs to learn this vibe, And can't we get a link up with Kool G Rap.
@@JS-en7dm i had to look after what corny ass means since English is not my native language 🤣 and yes mine is definitely a corny ass comment and I don't give a fvck 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a 35 year veteran emcee, these guys give me hope to keep going at 44 years old. We need the older guys to make a comeback and teach these youngsters what the art of hip hop is!!!! Keep doing what you’re doing brothamen!!!
WTF? The hip hop industry as been lazy! Maybe a handful of folks have the layers of these lyrics but everyone is just floating threw. The beat changes are like a custom suit. Just flawless! Zero wasted words.
@B many can say that on the surface level when listening but if you go in depth when you factor in the past 5 years with all the mumble rap garbage...this shit sounds 100 percent better than all that and plus it's 2 OGs that's doing it
@@bbbbbbb51 This is stuff that your favorite rappers would be impressed with. Like there's literally not one flaw. You can clearly hear what they say, they rhyme perfectly with the beat, they have doubles and triples in their bars, they have multiple schemes and they have impeccable flow and just as a bonus they start an end with a gun scheme. Luger to submachine gun
Genuinely surprised to know that these two write everything themselves. Pete said since he's from south London talking fast is easy. After learning that I'm like 1000% sure Pete and bas were real gangsters back in their day.
Why is better to know that an artist doing this genre is or was a criminal? Why the concept of this music must have someone who did gangster stuff ? I find it childish
@@MrLockwiseit's not about being a criminal. It's about having the experience to match the words. No way in hell these 2 old timers spit the way they do without having some life in their back pockets
@@MrLockwise the very idea of "being a real man" and "Real G experience" has been closely associated with criminal behaviour. This "concept of music having gangsters in it" has existed since the 1920s. It's simply that people who live within the rules find it cool. It's cool to fantasize about taking what you want, living big and living your life to the max. That dream is really nice when you are living a boring office job like many in the 1920s. Hollywood and the music scene are STILL running with the glorification of gang activity. this dream completely focuses on the individual at expense to anyone around you. Why would several generations respect this type of behaviour? because it's brave, powerful, and hyper-masculine. Men killing men quietly but confidently for economic reasons, speaking well in well-dressed suits where violence isn't even something someone bats an eye at. It's unrealistic, damaging to society at the end of the day, and slings lots of boys into prisons. But it looks hardcore and sounds cool. "Experience to match the words" because if you haven't committed violent crime, you're just not as interesting. In this world you have to physically demonstrate your strength, it's a world like chimp enclosure or a prison yard. You can't simply be capable of violence, you need a track-record, that makes you more "legit". You can blame media entities for glorifying old-school illegal alcohol dealers as "legitimate businessmen" and for styling rappers in the hood as being "more real" than another because they witnessed a man get shot, or because they rode along for a drive-by shooting. Then we actually respected rappers who were poisoning their own black communities with shit like crack cocaine and heroin because "they wuz juz feedin their kidz" Queer and broken. funny to me, my family are from former S. Rhodesia. None of this loud nonsense. Many people were lost and it wasn't romantic or cool, many of my uncles are stone-cold murderers and all it did was ruin their minds
Yo, these old timers have SERIOUS BARS!!!!! Never in a million years did I click on this expecting those 2 men to spit absolute heat, 🔥, molten LAVA!! This is a freakin BANGER.
The writer for these two is next level. Not only do they write fire. They make it relevant to these guys age with the slang used. Most of its dated. Which adds to the technical value.
Hahaha, same. I just saw a short a minute ago and I honestly thought it was a joke/dub/voiceover. I read the comments talking about them and how they're legit. Blew my mind 🤯. _Absolutely_ putting them on my playlist! They're 🔥🔥🔥!
goes with the party theme at the start. earlier on they go on about betty crocker cakes, candles, and a drink with lime, then later on wallops and dollops and well, you messed with the whole cake now..
This song goes over 80 percent of people's heads. Yeah the song is great it sounds good but when you analyze the wordplay and transition you realize these guys are at the top of the S tier.
I've listened to rap music heavily for 20 years. Lyrically, this is the most impressive thing I've ever seen. The double and triple entendres, the schemes, the way they bounce off eachother. The delivery is masterful aswell, big man has some lungs
Same, and yeah like, technically this is so impressive. If you know what prog metal is, this is like the rap version of that genre. Prog rap haha it's so good
Perfection! Not a wasted word, no filler or overly complicated metaphors, not even a curse word and it hits soo hard. Legendary level. I mean the bars! The bars!!
@@Maelthorn1337 i remember. I was searching for "pet bass" because i saw a RU-vid short about a guy who kept a bass as a pet but i accidentally typed "pet bas" which led me here
I like the differences in American & British rhymes. Accents can create so many different slant rhymes , also culture and geography play a huge part in it too. These guys pull off gangster rap with a genuine sort of class. I dig it . Sure as hell beats any rapper under the age of 30 these days who yap instead of rap
@@spencerm5913 i've only seen one video of them live, they seemed out of breath and i could barely hear them over the recorded track playing. I get that the fast cuts add energy, but look at COLORS for example, they do tend to cut a few times but nowhere as fast as this, plus there's a difference between cutting to another angle and cutting to another take, this vid obviously cuts to a bunch of takes.
@@k_kingz2317You’d think that a professional brass musician wouldn’t get gassed rhyming considering the breathing technique requires is of a higher standard…
