Just to let you know: BAS (the tall one) is a musician that plays the piano, sax, trumpet, and several other instruments. He stated that he used to play jazz piano aboard a cruise ship, so you KNOW he has been around. That is why he is so smooth. Pete on the other hand, got into rap when his granddaughter would get into his car and turn on drill rap. He would turn it off and she would turn it back on. Over time, he started to listen to it on his own. He said that he could really get into what they were saying. He credits his South London "Cockney" style of speaking with helping him with his fast-talking flow. Remember, rap as we know it started in the early 1970s. Both of these cats were in their TWENTIES then.
@odo-nateshave you ever been to or seen the horse races in the UK? Or a Brittish auction? Those guys talk so fast it hurts. I can imagine them being former auctioneers or horse race commentators.
These guys are legit ASF. They old school from the streets. Bas's family used to run an illegal boxing ring for gambling and Pete and bas used to box back in the day. Pete also within the past 20 years fought a murder charge from a gang shooting when he was younger. They talking real shit in their raps
Boys, this is 100% them. They write their own bars with help from younguns in the fam. They just get better and better with every track, and they done some sick collabs too.
These 2 are legit. They sing about their past. Pete is a well respected gang member from south London, who used to run with the notorious Kray twins back in the day. Bas and his family ran an illegal bare knuckle boxing club in their back garden and made a lot of money before it was shut down for being a cannabis farm and money laundering. Pete had a case back 1998 for a murder back in the 60s of a rival gang member, but he managed to win the case. These 2 were legit gangsters back in the day. They just learned today's lingo to tell their story. These 2 are the ones that managed to make it in a game where people don't grow old.
Where you read this? I’ve seen 5 different strories in these comments of there history one was that pete was a worker on a cruise line doing the music. They said the krays but that not true as well Bas and Pete are south london
theyre legit, ive seen them live. They do a sort of hybrid lipsync/live performance on stage so that they can engage with the audience at the same time without missing lyrics but they can definitely keep up
They released their first single in 2017 with "Shut Ya Mouth". They recorded the song after Pete discovered his enjoyment for hip hop when his granddaughter was playing rap music on his car radio. He told Bas about it, and they decided that it would be good fun to issue it on TH-cam. It was an immediate success and went viral, so they continued to create new music.
The guy on the left switched his tune soooo quick lmao. "Can't be them." "It's impossible." then says "They have to have an album man." "Bars for real." "Love this man - fire!" Dude 🤣🤦♂️
@@thetalantonx I didn't catch that lol these guy are ridiculous literally every line is a double entendre or even a triple along with all the metaphors and punchlines it would take me a year to dissect their bars
One that should be apparent especially to Americans is the "Martin Luther, fall asleep to the sound of the Hoover." And I don't think I've seen a single reaction that connected them.
Listening to Pete and Bas for the first time is like sitting in a busted looking jalopy, only to turn the key in the ignition and hear a v8 and twin turbos roar to life and that's when you realize you've been sitting in a sleeper the whole time.
Heard this shit on Amazon. Just a suggestion and for three days thought it was a couple of black brits. Found this video and for another day thought they had a sense of humor and threw some old ass dudes in the video. Then I found shorts of these guys. then more music videos. Its been a month and I STILL can't believe it. These fuckin WW2 vets SLAP
Pete & Bas not only rap their own stuff but they write their own stuff. Watch the interviews, they actually had to talk to the grandkids for help with the modern slang.
Really love the journey throughout this video. From ridicule to surprise to amazement to disbelief to bigger surprise and finally ending with genuine appreciation and celebration of true talent. It’s the journey we all go on when we first find Pete and Bas.
They are TOTALLY real. Pete & Bass are original in the rap, cadence, all that 💯💯. They are the IT FACTOR in the UK. 💯 It's not a "one off" with them 🙅. They are 🔥🔥👍👍.
Great reaction. I loved how you had sincere doubts but gave it up to them when you heard the research. I suggest golf of either of their 2 cyphers next.
They are real. They wrote their shit, they spit their shit, and they kill it. Tall guy was a bare knuckle fighter and the shorter one grew up around the Krays (English mobsters). These dudes are legend...
What does “grow up” amongst the Krays mean? They certainly weren’t part of the Kray gang if that’s what you’re getting at. If you mean grew up in the same area well so did a lot of fucking people, anyway they’re from South London so no they didn’t “grow up” around the Krays. I like Pete & Bas but it’s just sad that every Londoner of a certain age automatically has to have some link or proximity to The Krays.
@@pmc8451most cockneys did know or at least be freinds with someone who knew the krays. My family say they were quite decent people to local cockneys. Their mum came round my grandads house to pay for his mums rent when she fell ill. They lived on the same street. It’s not that crazy that a cockney knew a kray 😂 like it’s impossible
Everyone judges these london gangsters till they spit bars ,then boom they check them out ,and realise they are legit ,you gotta love em, just like we do in England 🇬🇧 🔥 🔥 🔥
I've watched nearly every reaction to Sindhu Sesh and I just love seeing how mindblown people get whenever they open their mouths. I always feel this air of 'damn, these guys are probably better than I can even deliver' I love how early in this video, they assumed Bas was a hype man, then he comes in with the smoothest and most well timed flow you could ever expect from anyone of that age. Worth noting Basil was a piano teacher so he understands music better than most rappers, and has had help from rappers and his family to understand the slang, but their bars are written by themselves.
I showed my son, who is 6, this video and he was blown away. Talking about older people knowing how to rap lol. He heard me listening to this and said, yes they are real! We have watched all of their videos.
7:00 you can see the realization of it hit homie on the right! That's what I came for 😂 I just found them 2 days ago and been watching other people react like me😂
They've been musicians for decades, Bas started off in the punk scene in the early 80s. They get the slang from their grand kids but they 100% write everything.
100% they write everything? yeaa i don't know about that. I believe it's them rapping but the lads actually doing the writing are most likely Johnathan Gibson and Barnaby Addison the guys who own Sindhuworld Limited.
Ah I love when people discover Pete & Bas for the first time. Nah you’re going to have to go through the catalog now. These two are real dudes. Listen to their catalog. I’d suggest start with their old stuff then move forward that way you can see their journey.
No one has figured out who they might be, if they aren't who they claim to be. I think Pete and Bas are who they say they are, because I cant think of anyone in the UK scene that could rap like them, and no one has provided an alternative.
Oh and anyone who doubts them should probably go see them live. They can really fucking perform. Like I've seen the making of videos that show them delivering it a few bars at a time, but that doesn't mean they can only do it in production and not live etc. These guys are ridiculously talented wordsmiths and being old doesn't make you tongue tied.
These guys are real. They right thier own shit. These guys ate for real. I have been down with these guys for over a yr. The tall one is bas. He taught music.
Its really them, real southern london old "gangsters". And their grandchildren helped them out with beats and stuff, but all the lyrics and stuff are real. They do perform live also

Not the Krays - they were East End. Pete n Bas are from South LDN so it'd have been the Richardsons.

The gimmick draws you in and the talent keeps you there.
No gimmicks Sunshine, don't hate

Yes this fumez and Mr. Worldwide! Just subbed! Great reaction fellas!

theyre legit, ive seen them live.

I love that you guys actually did some research and learned about them afterwards! Too many people just assume it’s all fake and end the video there 😂
These boys are real og’s… and yes it’s them drilling….🇬🇧
Appreciate this reaction so much, as a fan of Pete & Bas 🤩Stages of shock, denial, and then finally acceptance 😂
😂
It IS them rapping. I didn't believe it at first either but years later and basically a whole album worth of bangers later it's definitely NOT a joke
That's them That's how we do things in the 🇬🇧 uk brothers.

Pete & Bas first time reactions is my favorite genre on TH-cam
I believe these old guys actually were about that life back in the day 😂
Facts 💯
They're genuine lads. I've got tickets for one of their gigs in May lol.
These guys have been established villains long before many of us were even born. They are about that life for real.
great reaction! So many lines in this are doubles and some are triples but you really need to be from the UK to get them all.

If you listen carefully and read the lyrics, these guys do double and triple entendres! its insane
In 1974, Bas nailed my uncle to a Ford Cortina.
