Ben Williams and just to add on that, he was the one person Joey badass followed. Joey always viewed himself as a leader but for capital steez, he just felt he was someone he could follow. The more you know 💫🌈
“I'm in Marty McFly mode, so tell em' that the future's back Riding on hoverboards Wiping out motherboards Started spitting fire cause my motherfuckin lung is scorched King Arthur when he swung his sword A king author I ain't even use a pen in like a month or four” - Literally the hardest bars I’ve ever heard in my life
Omg I’m literally so hyped please do the whole 1999 mixtape it is a classic. One of the best mixtapes of the decade no argument. It’s real boom bap 90s style lyricism and it’s amazing.
P.E. Means public enemy or Pro Era, their rap collective in this song which Capital Steez is the founder of. R.I.P ( 24th was the anniversary of his untimely passing)
STEEZ was the best lyricist in their crew commit suicide a while back. Shame. Free Robots is one of my favorite songs, you should check out his albums.
Great reaction! But They missed the best line in the song by pausing it . “Like King Arthur when he swung his sword a king author I ain’t even use a pen in like a month or four” ~ Capital steez
It's crazy how far y'all came in a year. If you would've reacted to this song when you first started, all the lines would've gone over your heads. But now you're getting super excited everytime you hear a nice bar. Glad I was here to witness your growth and love for hip hop 😎
It’s very hard to catch all the bars STEEZ is spitting after the first time listening to the song. I remember coming back to his song Emotionless thoughts and realizing that there were like 10 great lines I totally didn’t get on my first few listens. Some of my recommendations for you to listen to: Free The Robots Emotionless Thoughts Infinity and Beyond Stars Invision Black Petunia
The only other song that blew me away with lyricism like Survival Tactics was Earl Sweatshirt - Hive feat. Vince Staples. Different sound from this but absolutely incredible verses, would definitely recommend
CAPITAL STEEZ was (and still is) one of the greatest rappers of all fucking time. That's who he was dudes. And a big R.I.P to King Steelo cause I honesty haven't heard another rapper, at least nowadays, that can even come CLOSE to touching his lyrical skill and depth... One of the greats, and deserves to have his album released already...... Soon.
Capital steez is honestly one of the best MCs rap has ever heard in my opinion. The way he raps and he's story telling is crazy to me. Definitely check out more of his stuff
God is a Gangsta ~ Kendrick Lamar Superstar ~ Lupe Fiasco Shook Ones Pt.2 ~ Mobb Deep Figaro ~ MF DOOM Exhibit C ~ Jay Electronica Devil is a Lie ~ Rick Ross 2009 ~ Mac Miller Whippin Excursion ~ Giggs Man ~ Skepta Loyle Carner!!!
As a huge rap fan, I love the growth you guys have shown. I've been following the channel since the beginning and I can actually see your appreciation for the culture increase with every video.
Just listened to this song out of random today and came into TH-cam and saw this ! Joey BadA$$ is INSANE and Steez was too , love this style of rap , I wish it was more relevant in today’s game
It fills me with such joy seeing you guys enjoy this song as much as I did when I first heard it years ago. RIP to Capital Steez, that man was a genius
Oh yes I have waited months for this!! Definitely check out more of Capital STEEZ. Tragic backstory he died 6 years ago of an apparent suicide on the 23rd of December… you guys should check out Free The Robots and Emotionless Thoughts for sure… please do more!! :)
@@cantu7214 Because Capital Steez is more relevant? GTFO when did he make a classic? The only song people know from him is practically this feature. "Irrelevant" foh
@@cbchansey6866 LMFAOOOOO nigga why you so hurt 🤣🤣 I said two words 😂😂😂. All Im saying is I aint ever heard a nigga say "Aye bro, bump that new Lupe" 💀💀💀💀
This has to be my favorite review EVER holy shit when Simon paused Capital Steez and said “these guys are like the world tag team champions of the universe” I FUCKING FELT THAT SHIT forrrreal
ummm guys CAPITAL STEEZ died a little over 6 years ago he was a schitzophrenic who's condition got worse with weed(or at least thats what i heard) he later jumped off a building with a bible on christmas eve
RIP CAPITAL STEEZ!!
Listen to CAPITAL STEEZ FREE THE ROBOTS, 135 and EMOTIONLESS THOUGHTS
hell yea
Rip
i’m bouta comment this again just because YES, long live steelo
So many great songs but def lets get reaction to free the reobots
This song, this is it
Steez was joeys best friend and he killed him self 6 years ago
Ben Williams and just to add on that, he was the one person Joey badass followed. Joey always viewed himself as a leader but for capital steez, he just felt he was someone he could follow. The more you know 💫🌈
Also a (founding?) member of Pro Era which is the collective that Joey is part of
Ben Williams yeah he killed him self. That’s what happened after writing about American government corruption and the Illuminati
@@YizWasHere Hes THE founder
Joey and him weren’t best friends rip Steez and fuck Joey for keeping the money from steez’s music when steez’s family is hardly getting by
Joey Bada$$ and Capital Steez - Killuminati
Fuck yeah!!!
To me its the best joey song
THEY NEED TO DO THIS !!!!!
PLEASE
best instrumental on 1999 imo
R.I.P Capital Steez 😔 could’ve been one of the GOAT’s
Could've been, he's big l pt. 2
@@cmackk7284 they kinda have different styles tho, Big L used boombap beats and rapped with punchlines, while steez was more of a lyricist/poet
nv m3 big l was a lyricist but his punchlines overpowered his songs
he IS one
RIP Steez. IMO one of the best to ever do it!
“I'm in Marty McFly mode, so tell em' that the future's back
Riding on hoverboards
Wiping out motherboards
Started spitting fire cause my motherfuckin lung is scorched
King Arthur when he swung his sword
A king author I ain't even use a pen in like a month or four” - Literally the hardest bars I’ve ever heard in my life
Month or four(metaphor)
i could be wrong buh i think he said “stopped spitting fire cuz my muthafucking lungs torched”
The bars right before that are some of my favorites too "these ain't punchlines no more, I'm abusing tracks, leaving instrumentals blue and black"
Joey was 17 when this song was made and released originally
pretty sure he made the tape when he was 16 and dropped it at 17
Omg I’m literally so hyped please do the whole 1999 mixtape it is a classic. One of the best mixtapes of the decade no argument. It’s real boom bap 90s style lyricism and it’s amazing.
An absolute classic
It’s an amazing project
So good that I don't think Joey will ever top it tbh.
Need that Amerikkkan Korruption in honor of Steez
Ahmad Abudieyeh his newest album was ass. He’s changed so much
You NEED to do paper trails by joey badass, if you like this you'll love paper trails!
Yes
I agree
YES
React to sirens by Denzel curry
FACTS
In honour of the Pro Steez, we proceed
Mr. Quixotic yes indeed 😇🙏🏾
🙏🔝
P.E. Means public enemy or Pro Era, their rap collective in this song which Capital Steez is the founder of. R.I.P ( 24th was the anniversary of his untimely passing)

Alfonso Espino they also used it as presidential elect in a bar, 🔥
protons and electrons
New Perspective nigga that’s an H bombbbb
@@AlfonsoPoncho7 fuckin' ridiculous
start the gofundme for a chair 😂
IM DEAD LMAOO at 4:52 Jon said shut up to the video. Look at Joey's face when he paused and said shut up lmaooooooo.
STEEZ was the best lyricist in their crew commit suicide a while back. Shame. Free Robots is one of my favorite songs, you should check out his albums.
yes yes the free the robots breakdown is pretty cool too
Hey bro pls tell his albums name!!!
Great reaction!
But They missed the best line in the song by pausing it .
“Like King Arthur when he swung his sword a king author I ain’t even use a pen in like a month or four” ~ Capital steez
Steez started pro era. Was about 17 when this was written. He’s a genius.
Protons And electrons = pe
President election= pe
Pro era = PE
JJ yep
P.E. NUTS
Fuckin ridiculous
It's crazy how far y'all came in a year. If you would've reacted to this song when you first started, all the lines would've gone over your heads. But now you're getting super excited everytime you hear a nice bar. Glad I was here to witness your growth and love for hip hop 😎
Do Monster by Kanye West btw, this is day 4 😂
It’s very hard to catch all the bars STEEZ is spitting after the first time listening to the song. I remember coming back to his song Emotionless thoughts and realizing that there were like 10 great lines I totally didn’t get on my first few listens. Some of my recommendations for you to listen to:
Free The Robots
Emotionless Thoughts
Infinity and Beyond
Stars
Invision
Black Petunia
His music ages like wine
Shutter Island 1893 Add Evol Love to that list
I am a STEEZ fan but I still think Joey's bars are better on this one...
This is literally my favorite song of all time
Love the video guys!!! RIP STEEZ ❤️
Never clicked so fast! Need to react to more capital steez! I def recommend 135, Chicago or Free the robots!
Christ conscious - Joey bada$$
Most underrated song ever
Yes.
phenomenal song
RIP STEEZ. This also came out 1 day after the 6th year anniversary of his death. He was going to be one of the greatest, rest up King 👑
4:55 the look on Joeys face when he pauses in the middle off a beat switch says it all.
Hardknock is the best song on that album. One of my favorite hip hop songs of all time. Suuuper lyrical. Also the vibe on Pennyroyal is dope too
Been waiting for this FOREVER!!! Glad you both loved it. More from these two PLEASE!!
Capital steez literally changed my life; 47 the way
one of my favorite songs oat. absolutely love joey and rip steez 🙏🏽🙏🏽
It's a shame Joey Bada$$ didn't reach the same heights as the likes of Kendrick or J Cole. Dude is dope
Ran Some Idk about this All Amerikkkan Badass has 400 million streams on just Spotify, and he’s only 22
Plus Joey is already considered a living legend
Don’t worry. He’s gonna have that career defining album soon. Just wait.
He’s done quite a lot for his age, and he’s not even finished.
Ik and especially when he is better than j cole
This whole Mixtape man...Summer 2012, one of the best ones of my life!
I’ve been reppin ProEra for 5 years now RIP king Steezi
The only other song that blew me away with lyricism like Survival Tactics was Earl Sweatshirt - Hive feat. Vince Staples. Different sound from this but absolutely incredible verses, would definitely recommend
I love you guys. Seriously becoming one of my favorite channels to watch. (Never thought i would say that about a reaction channel)
CAPITAL STEEZ was (and still is) one of the greatest rappers of all fucking time. That's who he was dudes. And a big R.I.P to King Steelo cause I honesty haven't heard another rapper, at least nowadays, that can even come CLOSE to touching his lyrical skill and depth...

Shout out the range. Used to work there for 3 years
PE could also be interpreted as Protons and Electrons another meaning I literally just caught
Ultralight beam- Kanye and Chance the rapper
im so glad you did my favorite joey badass song! LONG LIVE STEEZ
Finally!
Now may we get a
Capital STEEZ

HARDKNOCK - Joey Bada$$
One of my favorite hip hop songs off all time!!
ummm guys CAPITAL STEEZ died a little over 6 years ago he was a schitzophrenic who's condition got worse with weed(or at least thats what i heard) he later jumped off a building with a bible on christmas eve
King Benny Garcia Even without weed, schizophrenia will get worse if left untreated. Such a shame RIP Steelo
@@JScoob94 yeah i guess
King Benny Garcia He wasn’t schizophrenic, this has been confirmed by his sisters.
@@isaiahv8210 oh ok. I always thought he wasnt but alot of ppl were saying he was so i believed it
Confirmed by the family he was never diagnosed with being a Schizo, just a internet rumor started about him to justify his suicide
So glad you guys have reacted to this, you need to check out the rest of the 1999 mixtape, for me its his best work, goes down as a hip hop classic
Yo react to When in Rome and In The Bag by Mac Miller pls
Ok this needs to happen
When in rome is such a fuckin' banger RIP Mac
You'll love "Lou The Human - Macklemore" for more New York vibes
React to FKJ & Masego - Tadow. They're real musicians.
No Name that’s quite the fucking recommendation! One love yo! 💛
Awesome to see you guys react to hip hop and genuinely enjoy it
Please react to K.A.A.N. - KAANCEPTS or his rap god remix
Listen with lyrics - it's amazing
