Rap Videographer REACTS to Little Simz "Gorilla" Music Video - FIRST TIME REACTION 

Don't forget to hit that 👍🏽gently for me one time! For Apryl I release this today cuz I said so👊🏽💯

Ren was bigging this up on twitch after he dropped Murderer... She's big in UK for a while now 😎🙌🏻

'I know The Streets will love it like I brought Mike Skinner' - love it!

SIMZ DOESN’T MISS 🔥🔥🔥 Best rap artist in the UK right now. More Simz please! She will not disappoint you, you will be mad you didn’t find her before 😅 From one videographer to another, you need to know who Dave Meyers is! One of the most legendary music video directors ever. Check his filmography.

Venom, woman, introvert. Are 3 little simz trscks to check, all really different to this track too. She's a genius.

Little Simz is the best rapper in the UK today. The Stormzy - Mel made me do it, music video is well worth a watch, also Simz cameos in it.

The UK is saving hiphop Nothing else to say

I love little Simz. This video is an artistic masterpiece. Loving your breakdown of the visuals Mr Joe E

The headless guys was my favorite scene too. The colours were amazing. It just looked stunning

I'm so glad Ren is introducing Simz to an even wider audience . She's another Best of British . Great reaction ❤🇬🇧

As a videographer if you like this video, you'll adore her track, Introvert. Superb reaction

Check out an older track from her and Obongjayar(Oh! bong! J R), called 'Point and Kill', you'll love the video work. ...and oh yeah, check out her live band on a few tracks because, they rock.

How good is she!!! Blew me away as well and I can’t stop listening to her now…

Introvert from her is also amazing or Point&kill. Well, all her videos are art...

First time hearing her. Her vocabulary is bonkers. I feel hard Missy Elliot vibes. And the flow was super nice. I think she’s probably only seconds away from exploding over here in the states. Thanks for the introduction.

Pretty sure she’s paying homage to certain artists/videos. If you watch again you’ll see the Busta Rymes, Missy, Lauryn Hill nods.

So the director of this, directed a lot of Missy Elliot’s videos. That makes so much sense. I lived for Missy when MTV actually played music videos. I’m so obsessed with Little Simz dead call delivery- lyrical voodoo- stunning visuals 😍

In truth we have to thank ren for bringing this video up on his twitch stream on thursday. Because I am 99 percent sure people have it from there. :D And yes, SHE is awesome and the video too!

Definitely worth looking into "Introvert". Dave Meyers has worked with a lot of artists including Missy Elliott winning a number of awards doing her videos. Has also done a lot of mainstream commercials.

thIS IS oNE OF THE BEST NOT JUST RAP SONGS OF THE YEAR. THIS IS REAL MUSIC!! ALSO ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS

Thank you for the reaction. Thank you to Ren for showing this to us on his Twitch stream the other day. Awesome video track Little Simz and crew.

The more I watch this reaction, the more I can’t wait for you to review Introvert. It is so amazing.

360 cam 😂 every video … you gotta get one 💸

I heard OF her, but had not HEARD her. Wow! She's amazing! Congrats on 10K! 💛🫶💛

Looking forward to more Simz. She has a great variety too. She even directed 'Woman', a single from her last album.

Simz is a baddie and a killa ❤

Point and Kill by Little Simz is a visual feast and a fire song.

Love little Simz. You will love this one, and I really think you will like Introvert from a videographer point of view. The video and message is stunning. Venom is simpler video but just as stunning vocals and lyrics.

Recently discovered Little Simz and she is amazing! Can’t wait to watch more of her videos. The headless group scene was my favorite too 😮👊🏼❤

Multi-talented award winning Little Simz, you have your Cardi Bs & we have our elegant Simz - you know which one we prefer!! UK rappers/producers & video creators are on another level to anything coming out of the States at present, always ignored by American media. Our rappers are incredibly lyrical, expert free-style poets. So much impressive talent which, as I've said is largely ignored by America. Every Little SImz video is a mini film - all worth checking out. You can also see her act on the award winning Netflix series Top Boy alongside some of other famous goats of our UK scene.

Yes yes yes.......kneeeeew you would love this on every level if it should cross your path. Just feel bad that I didn't shout it out for you. But yeah man - Genius Levels 💯🔥

This video and this song is freaking impeccable! I love Little Simz, would love for you to react to Introvert There were so many parts that were my favorites: the 360' °inside° the car at the beginning, the blue paint explosions on the walls when she's playing tennis, the levitation, the jamaican bobsledding downhill, the general crispness of the colours. I thought the chorus of Simz wasn't necessary, although I did really like the way that was lit, I didn't like the split face reference being used so much, and I would have opted not to go infra-red-inside-out with the dark puffy jackets, I thought that stood on its own beautifully, but I wasn't feeling the neon underside psychedelia of the same scene . All in all, I thought it was incredible. However, I don't know if I would want to have so many tiny incremental scenes that just flash by and then are gone. This is an exceptional song, I feel like the video dude didn't have to pull every bell and blow every whistle every single second of the video, you know? That is just my totally ignorant opinion though. Thank you for sharing your educated perspective with us

You need to watch Introvert. Simply an incredible piece of art it transcends the notion of simply being a music video. Basically it's the music video all other music videos hope to grow up to be.

Yes PLZ do more Simz!! Been on her since 2016 and I’m so glad she’s blowing up. Can’t wait to see more of your reactions to her, she’s amazing.

I am so excited ❤you read my mind😮 I was just trying to think of how to get this in front of you today 😊awesome awesome awesome🎉

i’ve seen a lot of reactions to this video (because i’m obsessed with it) and yours is my favorite, love your appreciation of all the details both musically/lyrically and visually-so satisfying to see someone else equally amazed by it lol. subbed 🫡

This is what it feels like to react to masterpiece in real time. I feel you bro.

Such a treat! Simz might just be the best female rapper in the world right now and Dave Meyers is a visionary for real! The skateboard scene is absolutely one of my favorites I've seen in a video in so long. The headless shot was amazing too.

Hands down the best reaction. Your knowledge and hearing the groove at perfection ❤❤❤

Little Simz is one of the greatest, Unbelievable.

I just love this reaction- just rewatching again. You are correct. It is impeccable ! You POV about the cinematography and lighting was fascinating. The puffer jacket section Reminds me of Missy Elliot - puffers and slick black trashbags. Visually I do love the headless men- but the scare boats scene was too notch. Honestly - it was all a feast for the eyes ❤

I’m Rewatching this because I’m so obsessed. If you would come back after watching a few more times for a more detailed discussion/dissection- I’d love it - Professor Joe E

loved the end of the vid when the inspiration smacked ya.

Hi Joe E, This video is amazing, I liked the tennis, the eyes, her skateboarding and the headless scenes. Oh need to see more of her, LS beats, bars, and sound is smooth. You were crazy in love with this video, great reaction...🔥👊☝️🖼☝️✨🤓

Shes amazing man. Great reaction!

Best yet, love it you get it all. I work in studio media and this track/video I never get bored of.

Yea no joke probably watched this video 100x. Obsessed. It’s perfection

i click around on reaction videos to artist i love sometimes when i get bored, but i rarely comment or subscribe unless the presenter adds something unique to this genre of video. and in this case, the fact that you gave a shout out to the production staff by name before you watched the video has convinced me this channel deserves a shot lol. good on ya, the people actually making the visuals work never get the attention they deserve. edit: and you immediatly caught that shes paying homage to the greats when you saw/heard the beamer. the last reaction video i watched of this song, the guy didnt catch ANY of the references lol. and to be honest i understand why he gets quiet in the middle of the song and just sits there nodding with his mouth open lmao. whoever sent him this video opened this mans mind if youre the type of person who donates to reaction streamers, donate to this man, hes doing good reaction content

Hi glad you love our UK female. Little Sims pays homage to 3 of missy Elliott videos (car, black jackets and skateboard scene). The outline scene is a tribe called quest video, I think not sure, I think the spray paint is a tribute to childish gambino, the other shots I'm not sure about but as a videographer I'm sure you will find out.

What a talent! WOW!

Little Simz - Introvert. is a video masterpiece.

Ren was showing this video and promoting Little Simz during his Murderer Twitch talk. So now I'm starting down a Simz rabbit hole, along with all of the other rabbit holes Ren has introduced us to.

Loved this reaction. Best for this track by far cause you caught the video as well. The visuals are amazing and the bars are sick. Subbing up

So happy you’re reacting to Simz!

Yeah, Dave Meyers put his foot in this one and Little Simz ate and left zero crumbs. Masterfully done!

The first scene with the horns and plague masks on is the best. Just a bunch of friends hanging on the front lawn.

Loved writing this with my friend! Love my friend!

I feel like I’m looking through a kaleidoscope. OMG love this❤

yes JoEE, love that you're doing this.

You should check out more of her stuff, definitely "Introvert" music video and lyrics will blow your mind off. I'll be here to watch!

IDK is British rap riding highest ATM? Bars, beats, content, message and visuals, proud to be British.

Sick tune and nice homage to classic vids of the past in the video

This one was ideal did you Joe E, so much going on visually. I only watched one more from her so far, "Introvert" and it also has crazy visuals.

Dude I had the same reaction and I like you feel the visuals! You gave the best reaction to this that I have seen. But you’re videographer and you understand the power that visuals bring to a song! Just a mention she is an actor in the UK, so she knows the power of cinematography. Love your skills on this video! You nailed it!

you made your 10k subscribers, congrats.

She’s referencing other peoples videos that’s why they go from one style to another lol love her ❤

First time ive heard this, its amazing!!!! At the start, reminded me of Missy for some reason

great reaction Old school hip hop is back

Little Simz - Introvert (Official Video)

Everything about this performance is immaculate. From MC to crew

i saw someone say that a lot of scenes from this video were homages to scenes from classic rap music videos. i'd love to see someone go through them if so. in particular i'm curious about the suit fit with the NY cap, that feels very NaS

Sorry to be late to the party, and great you discovered Litte Simz! Is she the greatest Hip Hop artist of our time? Thank you ❤ @joeesparks7 for your smashing reaction to Gorilla! I am guessing Introvert is next, and I am already appreciative of your reaction to that one! Yes, I love ❤ quite a lot of Litte Simz' music and her videos. So great you like❤ it too. And I am asking myself that question ^^^ above. It is worth asking!

Great reaction man🔥🔥🔥

Dave Meyers is one of the GOATs. Check out his work with with Missy and Ariana. Hype Williams, Director (Little) X, and Paul Hunter all defined this look

I love seeing a professional appreciating art made by others. There's something incredible about hearing that perspective on vudeos that might just not be appreciated by us normies lol

introvert by her is fire definitely worth checking out

YESSS LITTLE SIMZ

Good stuff man. Right on point ❤❤❤

MORE OF THIS FIRE!!!!!!

Try giving Woman a reaction as well, another incredible video to a Little Simz track

Love Little Simz✌️😊💙

Off the rip I know your gonna love this (i'm only on 01:50 so not started yet) - 100% think you should check out Introvert by Little Simz Official Music Video - impactful and creative (in my humble opinion) love Little Simz (can you believe nobody wanted to sign this artist - music industry is f**k'd up just spewing out same cookie cutter sh...) anyhoo....lets go! EDIT - Yup fire video, so good, had me laughing you so pi$$ed at how good lol, chef's kiss indeed! more pls Joe E! thanks man

5:00 we made the same face seeing that shot for the first time lmao

Lil Sims is sick asf, have you been clued up on Top Boy yet? Gotta love that Jurassic 5 beat too.

just saw you react to Nightwish on your rapper freinds channel. really good. thanks from Colorado. do one on your channel and will subscribe, as will many more

"ART"

Yeah, my fav is the head bob after the headless shot.

I really like the video and song. My favorite scene was the headless guys too.

@joesparks7 you really need to do Point & Kill by her, you would love it especially the visuals!

Great and super informative reaction man. Am I right thinking this is a nod to multiple rap vids. Missy Elliot etc. Very cool tho

Lol Ren just played this song in his twitch live.

This beat is JURSSSIC 5 Concrete junkyard I swear. And DAVE MEYERS killed this homage video to all his previous work.

Please tell me you’ve been put onto Dave. Little simz is amazing- Dave is another level again.

Sims is so different so creative one it the best female mcs

Knew you'd love this!

Ace ur opinion is far from ignorant💯 1st, Jamaican bobsled took me out😂 and i agree 1000 percent on the infra red with the puffy jackets, and the bunch of faces in different boxes could have been for a different video. Imo those scenes definitely were least impressive to me alao. As far as throwing the kitchen sink at the viewer...yeah, i believe theres a time in place for a whole lot and bare minimum and just in between...and different reasons ffor using either. But for me, the complexity of them bars went well with a multitude of scene differences 🤷🏾 but then again, i dont shoot that diverse so who knows🤷🏾 ya know😂 thanks for ur insight tho, it was appreciated more than u think👊🏽💯

She's got early Missy/Lauren creative vision with late Missy polish. I'm fully convinced that she's one of the most complete MCs currently occupying the face of the planet. I'm biased toward the UK scene because it's been objectively embarrassing American rap for the last decade (if you can't admit Avalino, Cadet, Dave, Fredo, Stormzy, Central Cee, Arr Dee, etc are light-years above the American mainstream, don't even talk to me. Your opinion is wrong), but their female rappers would rather be in the conversation of objective greatness than be ass-out in a music video. For people like me that miss the incredible female OG MCs on the New York scene (like, damn, how you got me sprung wearing a North Face parka and Zubaz?), this is pure dopamine.

Totally Brutal! I have a theory that most of the best artists are ones you never hear about and every now and then a real artist breaks into the public consciousness and it usually doesn't go that well for the performer (The map is not the territory Simz). She reminds me of Billie Eilish (intellectual and arty), Missy (beep beep, who's got the keys to the jeep), Lauren Hill (precociously talented), j-hova (the music and braggadocio), and then I think of Nina Simone and Billie Holiday, both of whom kept it real. And got attacked for it. Strange fruit. Simz is like the outsider who studies and learns all his lessons and then evolves to becomes the respected voice because he has the credibility of his efforts, experience and intellect while the authorities cling to the fading credibility of their institutions and positions. Where's the work? Simz is putting it in, at least. Simz raps "Beating on my chest throwing apeshit//Putting in a graveshift//Ain't life what you make it?" Take it from the man. And further along "Be very specific when you talk on who the best is//How can I address this//Basically the rest is//Almost like to me//What a stain to a vest is//you ain't dropped nothing//in my eyes I'm impressed with...stop floodin' my mentions with bullish*t//talking on Simz like she's someone// you went to school with. Awkward. From there you've been the cool kid..." as the video switches to Simz spray painting under an overpass. You can't touch that!

New Sub ... (before I check your channel!) 😁

UK stand up
