Imho Dave is genius. I am a white northern English man, never lived in the hood, didnt grow up in violence, can't really relate from any personal experience, and yet he still speaks to me. True greatness transcends all barriers, race, ethnicity, social class, gender and genre. That's true genius. This man is a national treasure and we should all be paying attention 👏
Couldn't agree more hun and I'm actually from London but I will never truly understand this life.... But I seriously appreciate Dave's perspective and we should definitely pay more attention to the youth growing up struggling! 😔 ♥ xxx
Blue story was a UK based film referring to the gang beef in London between peckham and Lewisham / ghetto, the reason why it's called "blue story" is due to the colours that are associated with the ghetto gang which is blue and through out the film we as an audience follow this young innocent boy dragged into gang culture which inevitably ends tragically (as a person from the UK I highly enjoyed and recommend this film as a way to connect to life in rougher London 🇬🇧❤️)
Created by Rapman. Don't know if he has been covered on this channel. If he hasn't, that needs to be done. Like yesterday. Shiro's story and his FITB in particular
Yeh I’m mean Dave isn’t the strongest in that song but they gotta know ghetts is madness still carnt get over the Russian in the German and the screech
Great way to get them to listen to multiple artists from the uk when they don’t have time to dive into someone like manny Meeks or ghetts and can show them what he uk has to offer
In London though, when we say "Violate" it doesn't necessarily mean sexual. It's slang for when someone makes a mockery out of you or robs you in public
From the way I heard it, it made it seem like he meant it sexually violated. The line after sounds like he said he “hates the preacher”, not “hates the feeling”. But I’m not from there and the accent isn’t to clear for me so I’m not 100%
@@imtherh1no350 What he means is that he has looked like a clown and he hates it, that is basically what violate means in the UK, it definitely says "Hates the feeling"
You guys would love ‘Survivors Guilt’ from the album, it’s a Drake/40 type beat produced by Dave layered with Jorja Smith vocals. The substance on that record is insane & it definitely puts his success at his young age of 23 into perspective.
The scuba dive line is a reference to the Rolex Submariner a common watch among gang members flexing in the UK. It means he died living the gang life trying to get rich. It relates to the next line 'don't die by a sword that you used to shine.'
@MT That’s what I got as well but is it also a double (or is that now triple - lose count with Dave) that “his right hand” ie his boy, his cover etc, “dived” ie dipped out ?? Idk maybe reaching🤔
React to Dave - In The Fire. Dave - Survivors Guilt. Also definitely recommend you guys watching Blues Story, you said that when you see London it’s all beautiful… watch the film & you will see what it’s like it the ghetto areas of LDN
Glad you guys covered this man. Dave is our Kendrick Lamar/J. Cole - so artistic and poetic in everything from his lyrical content to the actual sound of the music. Reaction on point too, my favourite youtube channel! Thanks
On the flakey dealing bar, he's talking bout selling coke. "Flake" is a strong type on coke you get in UK and Ireland, and a code everyone uses for talking about coke / flake is "paint". So when your dealer texts you he says "got paint here" which means he has good coke. So "painting" the cistine chapel is a triple, like you said painting ceilings with their blood but also painting, flake, dealing coke. For my American friends who might not got that reference. Dave killed this so hard.
I don't know if I speak for the audience but I love your long videos, I watch this channel specifically for your breakdown so you should feel that you have to rush to get through them, unless it's to save your time then that's understandable but if it's to save ours it's unnecessary.
These guys breaking down things properly is what makes them the best im here for the long reactions to the lyricists. Shout out Stevie knight too for the same reason.
I never understood why people feel need to rush... if I wanted to hear the track straight through, I would press play on Spotify and listen to the track straight through
Idk of your American or English but if the latter you may have heard of @Leetothevi and he has done a whole album review which is a whopping 2 and a half hours long. He does into the fire for like half an hour lol. Definitely recommend if your looking for a long video to kill time.
@@lukewimbush4359 I'm English, he is a great reactor, I watched his review he rewinded into the fire so many times lol, the passion he has for music is great.
You know, this track’s lyrics resonate so much with me. I’m struggling with depression and my only goal at the minute is to get through each day. When I get into bed at night, that’s like a victory for me. Another day survived. Watching your videos is a huge part of me getting through each day. Your synopsis of this track is just so insightful and interesting. Thanks guys, keep up the good work
“I was in intensive care when I was born, mummy fell down the stairs Whether I was gonna live or not was somethin' uncertain I used the word "Fell", with the commas inverted” madness
@@CrimsonDuo fell with the commas inverted meant that Dave's mom didn't just fall accidentally fall down the stairs, she got pushed down by someone I'm guessing cuz she "fell"
Man, that switch-up was the fire. "My girl knows I'm a fan of charity, but there's some information I'm never gonna volunteer." "Can't see the car, but from the engine, they know it's me."
Dave just turned 23. Let that sink in. Also y'all are funny for joking about the length of the video but would react to Pneuma by Tool in a heartbeat LMAO we gotta have exception I suppose ;)
That intro isn't a lie. I live in North London. Been here 5 years so far. The ambulances don't stop. In my area alone I've seen 3 people bleeding out with one who got stabbed literally seconds before I left the store. In front of everyone this older man got stabbed in the chest. I never stick around to find out what happened. But yeah even in front of my job we've had the road closed off after stabbings. I've lived in France, Spain, US and Colombia. I can only compare it to Colombia. And I've seen videos shared around of people getting killed in front of everyone. A guy got stabbed as they got off the bus arguing. A kid called his dad to beat him up or something, the dad died. Bled out. But I've seen people shot too. It's getting bad especially since the pandemic
@@KiraYoza Dave is the worst at storytelling though and I have fallen asleep while listening to Dave and Dave mumbles unlike Kendrick Lamar Kendrick Lamar - Rigamortis is better than Dave’s whole discography
you gotta do Survivors Guilt, you’ll like that one for sure, bars are the coldest on the album. In the Fire is heatttt but got a feeling you won’t like one particular verse. Also Ryan, central London looks pretty but London a lot bigger than the area around Big Ben !
The writing and wordplay in this are really phenomenal. Definitely relate to the line about giving up on some dreams to keep body and soul together. This really is art. Blue Story is a British film about gang violence in London, in a similar vein to Scarface. This was extremely well done.
The whole album is a master piece. If you play the first song from the time it was released UK time (12am) the song “20 to 1” starts at exactly 12.40am !! Genius - his last bar of first tracks ends with “we are all alone” and the last bar of the last track is “in this together” ! 🤯
I know you guys have a bigger audience than the UK, but being bias I enjoy the UK reactions! Especially guys like yourselves who are able to break it down so well beside the slang! Keep up the dope work 🙌🏼
Yeah like with almost every city I’m in the world London has so lovely, beautiful parts ( like the ones you see on TV) and some seriously poverty stricken areas with high crime rates…. Incredible reaction guys, can wait for you to experience the UK Scene more, it really will be eye opening for you
"the lam white in the seat, so I'm literally a wolf disguised in a sheep" is a genius bit of wordplay. the first sentence is Dave referring to the white leather seats in his Lamborghini. The logo for a Lamborghini is a charging ram and of course a ram is a male sheep. Tied into the saying "wolf in sheeps clothing" Dave is saying he's the still the tough guy from the street (wolf) but you wouldnt think it because you're distracted by his car.
27:24 the right hand scuba dived line I take it as when the leader or guy got splashed (stabbed/ shot up) his right hand man went and ducked and left (scuba dived)
I’m glad Ryan pointed out the “I used to wonder ‘do god have favorites?’” Line. Every reaction video I’ve watched, They skip over that line. But I used to think it as a kid too. Really deep one liner.
Thank you guys for taking the time out to react to this. Much appreciated. But another high Caliber song off the album is ‘In The Fire’ get a taste of a few UK artists and bars
Blue story is a trilogy of 3 different songs by Rapman which later got depicted in a film, basically a story about young black men that caught up in the road stuff in london and all the shit that comes with it.
Please react to Ghetts album conflict of interest if you prefer songs and art/albums, complete pieces... or fire in the booth part 3 if you prefer more freestyle type songs
When he was talking about being a millionaire and he didn’t do a game show or trivia but he done SpringHill that’s referencing to the show TopBoy on Netflix because he played Modie on there and it’s produced by Drake and LeBron’s production company SpringHill
Loved this reaction! This is what I want when I watch other people react to music I love. Catching those bars, being blown away, break downs - great job. Like everyone has said, In the Fire is a must for a trilogy and you get an intro to more from the UK scene including Ghetts who is an absolute beast in the game. Think you’ll find ‘it’s playlist!’
Dave needs to be know as one of best in the world because he only 23 he can get even better that’s scary if he carry on the way he going he will be best in world because his work is like nas and 2 pac amazing story telling and bars world play we’re all blessed
You missed the Roaming/Call to see em is a play on the Roman (My old Gs roamin') Colosseum (I don't need a colosseum) - The battleground famously in Gladiator... WHAT A FIRE LINE!
Insanely detailed breakdown, best i have seen by far would love it if you checked out into the fire off the album too the beat on that is crazy too and Dave produced it too
@@MichaelHeyra I think the references on Clash goes over the head of many people. I truly think people don't actually get what Dave is saying because he has a way of calmly saying some real slick shit!
Great breakdown! What a fantastic piece of work this track was. Just some other stuff that really grabbed me: Loved the chemical elements (aurum/boron/fluorine) scheme! I’m sure there’s also an unwritten wordplay on “element” that was intended there, too. And I also think the “saving for a 45” was also a double entendre about records, right?
I'm probably biased because I'm from the UK but I truly believe Santan Dave is the best lyricist currently active by a looong way. Nobody else can scheme and flow as clean as Dave whilst having IMPACTFUL bars not just a rhyme for the sake of it. Incredible talent, national treasure.
I'll do the obvious and suggest you listen to "in the fire" from this album as well, as it's my personal favourite on there. But you also need to check out little simz - introvert. Another long track, but it is truly a masterpiece, you'll love it.
Thanks for reacting to more Dave, honestly would've loved for you to listen to a few more of the tracks from his album but still great that you heard heart attack
Dave positioning himself between scarface and blue story is genius... Trying not to get typecast as a conscious-good-guy or glory-bound-gangster... Talks about the irony of new warzones, criticism but still showing his place in it and WHY it happens.
At last!! Been hoping you'd react to this. Brilliant breakdown you guys packed in a lot of analysis in 30 minutes. I was just listening to Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai for the first time in ages, would love to here you do a reaction/review of that.
This is probably in the comments somewhere already and you guys might actually know this already, but this song is actually a follow up to a song off his 6 Paths EP called Panic Attack. Just a few references back to that song in here.

“How many of our parents had dreams they abandoned, so they could put food on the table..”💔
Insanely detailed breakdown, best i have seen by far would love it if you checked out into the fire off the album too the beat on that is crazy too and Dave produced it too
Daily reminder Kendrick Lamar is better than Dave
Best social commentary musician of modern history in my opinion.
Been waiting for this!!!!!
WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE. LOVE YALLS REACTIONS
Yall should really jus do the whole album minus clash and verdansk. It’s consistent bars and realness
Clash was fire though. Its a good switch up from the art, all is good though.
Bruhh verdansk is insane and survival mode of verdansk is way crazier. Listen again
@@MichaelHeyra I think the references on Clash goes over the head of many people. I truly think people don't actually get what Dave is saying because he has a way of calmly saying some real slick shit!
You know you're gonna end up doing the whole album? Can't escape it 😂
😂😂😂
Great breakdown! What a fantastic piece of work this track was. Just some other stuff that really grabbed me:
Loved the chemical elements (aurum/boron/fluorine) scheme! I’m sure there’s also an unwritten wordplay on “element” that was intended there, too. And I also think the “saving for a 45” was also a double entendre about records, right?
You gotta do In The Fire or Both sides of a smile next if you plan on doing more Dave.
U two Are the breakdown kings
React to In The Fire for sure next, bar heavy banger
Dave speaks so honest and clear, its hard not to understand this bredda
The most articulate and most enjoyable reactors to watch, just need more U.K.
I'm probably biased because I'm from the UK but I truly believe Santan Dave is the best lyricist currently active by a looong way. Nobody else can scheme and flow as clean as Dave whilst having IMPACTFUL bars not just a rhyme for the sake of it. Incredible talent, national treasure.
I feel ya’ll are ready for In The Fire now. That’s the best way to cap this album off after Verdansk and Heart Attack. Keep up the great work
I'll do the obvious and suggest you listen to "in the fire" from this album as well, as it's my personal favourite on there.
But you also need to check out little simz - introvert. Another long track, but it is truly a masterpiece, you'll love it.
YESS I hope they react to little simz soon
Thanks for reacting to more Dave, honestly would've loved for you to listen to a few more of the tracks from his album but still great that you heard heart attack
Blue Story is a British Film about London Street Life that was that was banned when it was released at the movies
can't believe I just watched at 32 mins reaction video from start to Finish. GREAT REACTION
Dave positioning himself between scarface and blue story is genius... Trying not to get typecast as a conscious-good-guy or glory-bound-gangster... Talks about the irony of new warzones, criticism but still showing his place in it and WHY it happens.
This beat resembles a hearbeat. If you listen closely you hear a heartbeat in the beat. When the beat stops, the heart stops aswell. Crazy!
Daily reminder Kendrick Lamar is better than Dave
@@jacobdykes8827what’s crazy is that you even need to compare the 2 and say that, much respect to Dave
At last!! Been hoping you'd react to this.
Brilliant breakdown you guys packed in a lot of analysis in 30 minutes.
I was just listening to Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai for the first time in ages, would love to here you do a reaction/review of that.
please do In The Fire as well
This is probably in the comments somewhere already and you guys might actually know this already, but this song is actually a follow up to a song off his 6 Paths EP called Panic Attack. Just a few references back to that song in here.
Good to finally see you guys giving UK rap some respect 😂
Good vid
Epic - With Dave it's like not a single word is wasted, they all have some double or triple meaning.
Daves pen is up there among the best and he has great delivery.
Dave will go down as the GOAT with the ones that know.
