Let's be honest, Pete had these two savage bars back to back. Ruthless. _ "Popped his noggin with the butt of the dotti and his body foamed up like a bottle of carver. Feds came round and I never said nada, quick **pssshh** downin the lagar" "I don't take s*** from a man get chucked in a van, get dashed in a dusty skip, one side of the families Irish, 'Tiocfaidh ár lá' (Irish Republicanism expression for 'our day will come'), he's taking the mick."
@@AC-gt7xj What I am hearing it as is that the guy who they chucked in a van and then threw into a skip (which is a large dumpster/bin) is half Irish, and that guy says to them 'our day will come'. Pete says that he is 'taking the mick' because that guys day will never come if Pete and Bas have anything to do with it.
@@ade4793 yeah but drill is just getting boring to me now. We get it, you claim u kill people and sell drugs. Not only that but too many of u have the same flows and drum patterns on beats. 🥱
i aint gay tho, i aint fredo, dont wear tight little shirts like bugzy, little boy aitch dont wanna get maced, stormzys mug get smashed in the face, jaykae still didnt send his verse, skepta get left in a casket case! Shots from the pops 🔥💯🔥🤣
Honestly these guys are some of the best I've ever heard. I wish that was a joke but it's not. They're cold as fuck lyrically and their voice and presentation just works. Holy fuck these guys are good.
John I think you missed the biggest hitter "Gave him the kiss of life I ain't g*y though, I ain't fredo" he was referencing the videos going around of Fredo possibly having a boyfriend...
yeah it went something like this from what I can work out. Lil' mug tried it, you don’t wanna ride it Gave him the kiss of death, I ain’t gay (beeped) though I ain’t Fredo, don’t wear tight little shirts like Bugzy, Lil boy Aitch don’t wanna get maced, Stormzy’s mug get smashed in the face, Jaykae still didn’t send his verse, Skepta get left in a casket case.
"Tiocfaidh ár lá if you're taking the Mick" is an even better bar than you think Jon! Michael Collins was the Irish revolutionary leader that negotiated the establishment of the Irish Free State in the 1920's, known to plenty as "Big Mick"!
I love Bas’s flow he sounds like a really old Devlin, but Pete, Pete is just everything he delivers his lines so viciously. It’s amazing not a joke.. true Londoners who embrace the culture.
Shoutout to Jon - Having watched at least 20 reactions to this over the last couple of weeks (it's too catchy and I'm enjoying the surprised reactions) you're the only person who bothered to look up the Tiocfaidh ár lá line, props
@@Damon530 One side of the family’s Irish Tiocfaidh ár lá if he’s taking the mick. 'Tiocfaidh ár lá' means 'Our day will come' in Irish and is usually used by the IRA, also calling someone a Mick was used as a derogatory term for an Irish fellow back in the day, I believe.
just found this song over the weekend and have seen a few reactors and not one understood that line. Basically hes saying if someone tries to take the mick {piss) out of him its tiocfaidh ar la - in other words hes dead
It's been a stupid week for me. I'm in the US and only just this last Monday had a Pete & Bas video recommended to me. I was hooked instantly, but I had to watch breakdowns for the bars, and get caught up on UK Drill slang to really catch the full depth of the bars. I'm convinced - the sheer volume of life experience, criminal knowledge, musical knowledge, and the language of the street needed to bust out with alliteration, assonance, consonance and the sickest metaphorical schemes is undeniable.
What I love about them is a lot of artists these days you can predict the rhyme they’re going to use with their next line but Pete and Bas you can’t always tell 😂
Nice reaction bro, I thought the same thing about the Irish bar, I’m Irish and most people wouldn’t get that reference and how sick it really is if they don’t know about Ireland’s history!! Good on you for looking it up and highlighting it for people! These two are sick, I defo think they have a lot of input into the bars, some of the stuff like tiktok you would imagine is not theirs but who knows, they have got grandkids so they might not be that far removed from that stuff either?! Whatever way it’s being put together is working so big up both of them 🔥🔥🔥
Pete kills this tho bas kinda steals the show. " His body foamed up like a bottle of cava" is a line people haven't really picked up on but is actually disgusting.
"Popped his noggin with the butt of the dotty, and his body foamed up like a bottle of cava Feds came round and I never said nada, quick ka-sh and I’m downing a lager." That's the hardest pocket in the whole track, and the flow switch up is immaculate too. Whole thing is levels.
In the end they sent for 3 others but its censored. ”Lil boy Aitch don’t wanna get maced Stormzy’s mug get smashed in the face Jaykae still didn’t send his verse Skepta get left in a casket case”
They do write. Apparently, their grandkids keep them up to date with the slang. Also, just listening to enough music gets you used to the slang. I have friends who've never been to England in their lives that naturally and fluently use British slang (and even have accents) because of the music they listen to. You should watch/react to their interview with Fumez!
So glad you reacted to these guys!!! I'm pretty sure they aren't a comedy act. Like it's inherently kinda funny because they're old and they play into that and don't take themselves 100% seriously, but I'm pretty sure they write their own lyrics and come up with their flows and everything. They're rappers just like the youngins. They did an interview where they explain how they got into it.
that last bit was CRAZY!! they went at EVERYBODY!! Smoked so much that I’m stuck in the planets Speaking Spanish, hasta luego Thumbs in his eyes get pressed like play-doh Wife’s been calling, how did your day go? Can’t call back, I’m in San Diego Lil' mug tried it, you don’t wanna ride it Gave him the kiss of death, I ain’t gay though I ain’t Fredo, don’t wear tight little shirts like Bugzy Lil boy Aitch don’t wanna get maced Stormzy’s mug get smashed in the face Jaykae still didn’t send his verse Skepta get left in a casket case
Everytime I see a reaction video and everyone assumes it’s a comedy act because they are old, they are straight drillers no act, no comedy these guys were old school gangsters, straight fire 🔥
The word on the streets is that their grandkids are helping them with the slang, but other than that they write it on their own😋 Check out Pete and Bas "golf" ft.Norman Pain Bas goes hard on that one :)
Funny how people are stuck in kiddy talk and when an adult spits they are surprised that the bars are coming without end - they are good because they have another lvl of communicating shit also known as wise old man THIS IS THE KEY TO THEIR SUCCES
Bruh, since I discovered these 2 I've been playing them on repeat. Now they my top5 UK rappers. Imagine Stormzy or Krept & Konan having them on their tracks
I saw every reaction to this track there is on YT. This one was the best. I watched you and Simon back in the day but lost track of you. Please have my sub!
I enjoyed every minute watching this One thing your volume on your mic is so loud and you're when you play the music it's low should be the other way it's hard to hear the music even on the speaker
Bas spittin "Im hotboxin the uber if he complains im punchin the bastard" is for real for real the hardest line of 2021.
"Thumbs in his eyes, get pressed like play doh"
"Got fists like concrete slabs still knock a man down with a kung fu kick"
So many raw bars lol
@@HonkeyKongLive that kung fu kick line was straight out tha mid 90s
Let's be honest, Pete had these two savage bars back to back. Ruthless.

Bas' flow is better than 99% of the genre
Aight I love the duo but dont diss the whole genre XD
@@ade4793 yeah but drill is just getting boring to me now. We get it, you claim u kill people and sell drugs. Not only that but too many of u have the same flows and drum patterns on beats. 🥱
This but unironically, like his second verse was genuinely better than most of these guys' flows. Certain man should be embarassed honestly
This - no exaggeration at all
@@aze4964 Nah genuine his flow is unmatched

This isn't a comedy act, these guys are more skilled than most rappers today 🔥
According to them it's all written by them and their grandsons (who help with the slang)
Imagine writing drill with your grandad😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
tha dream
petes grandson only helps with slang and doesn’t write it
🤣🤣🤣
imagine seeing your grandad go crazy on plugged in, young man wouldve been hyped up at home
These man aren’t a comedy act, they’re legit drillers
Ghost writers
@@touyube8146 they write their own stuff... they have help with present day slang but other than that it’s their own stuff
@@JamsterZF Wow.
@@JamsterZF right plus they be talkin about some real specific events that I feel like only they know about lmao
They Actual Roadman from back then they were part of a UK Crime Family and all
Honestly these guys are some of the best I've ever heard. I wish that was a joke but it's not. They're cold as fuck lyrically and their voice and presentation just works. Holy fuck these guys are good.
Big facts, I legit see them as emcees. They have it all IMO , flow, lyrics, cadence, unique voices, bars, word play, and rhyme schemes
The way they sent for fredo, bugzy, aitch, stormzy, jaykae and skepta made me lose my shit
When they diss skep and stormzy
@@lemonsviral at the end but the names are censored
@Brian Gaede “little boy aitch don’t wanna get maced” it’s censored but u can tell
Lit
Bas from 3:45. The flow is insane!
That second Bas verse made me lose my fucking mind, shit goes so hard
Never clicked a video so fast in my life

For real. Bas can flow all day long but Pete is raw as fuck. Some of those lines were out of control.
🤣🤣 didn't think you'd react to this! Keep up the grind 🐐
Yoooo, this was one of the best P&B reactions I’ve seen! Sick
Need Loyle Carner reactions from you Jon, ASAP!!
yes please!!! imagine nwbd
YES
Agreed
YESSIR
Mate I’ve watched so many reactions of this, but your analysis of this is correct, subscribed
Shoutout to Jon - Having watched at least 20 reactions to this over the last couple of weeks (it's too catchy and I'm enjoying the surprised reactions) you're the only person who bothered to look up the Tiocfaidh ár lá line, props
The Irish line was the coldest line. You think they went deep on the surface of it then you do the research and it takes it to whole other level🥲.
explain for an ignorant englishman?

Yes your day will come if you are taking the Mick. Using Mick was a clever double entendre.

pete and bas were about that life! i read an article about how they had east & south london gang ties in the 40s-60s
Super late reply, but if you got a link to that article I'd love to read it. Dudes is legit performers at least and they're hella good.
Bas looks like the type of guy to walk around with a cane with a hidden sword blade inside.
A Cane-tana 😅 LOL
Im so happy these guys are blowing up 🤙🏻
Sick reaction geeza 👊
We can’t get the Instrumental?? 🥶
Coldest instrumental of the year
So gassed to see some UK reactions, Pete and Bas are so cold - definitely think you should react to OFB’s Daily Duppy as well
They did an interview and they said there ain't a ghost writer even if there is the flow in on point
These guys are the real deal. Killer flows, this aint no joke!!! Massive respect from Detroit!!!
They do write. Apparently, their grandkids keep them up to date with the slang. Also, just listening to enough music gets you used to the slang.

Wish you did more UK Grime and Drill 😪
Same 😔

Unbelievable from pete and bas jon they are no longer a joke act but proper drill artists
yesssss finally man like jon got on this banger 😂😂😂
14:00 facts! Keep it up man
Shut Ya Mouth was their first track for trivia! Big love Jon your content is ultimate 👊🏼❤️
Wicked reaction mate. You summed them up perfectly.
that last bit was CRAZY!! they went at EVERYBODY!!
Smoked so much that I’m stuck in the planets
Speaking Spanish, hasta luego
Thumbs in his eyes get pressed like play-doh

Best reaction I’ve seen to this🤘🏻
Bas' flow is next level crazy, not even joking
Everytime I see a reaction video and everyone assumes it’s a comedy act because they are old, they are straight drillers no act, no comedy these guys were old school gangsters, straight fire 🔥
Aj Tracey dropping his album tonight. Would love to see you react to either the whole album or just one track
They bring all their life experience to the table as well, which makes it so special.
The word on the streets is that their grandkids are helping them with the slang, but other than that they write it on their own😋
Check out Pete and Bas "golf" ft.Norman Pain
Bas goes hard on that one :)
Funny how people are stuck in kiddy talk and when an adult spits they are surprised that the bars are coming without end - they are good because they have another lvl of communicating shit also known as wise old man THIS IS THE KEY TO THEIR SUCCES
They got 150 years of shooting shit and being within earshot of shit being shot to draw on.
Its completely unfair 😂
Jon: 1:51
Pete: 8:43
"I ain’t no joke, I ain’t Dave Chappelle now"
Pete was in alliance with Reggie & Ronnie (Kray Twins) back in the day, Decades later he’s on the Drill scene…
They are breaking boundaries. Man like Pete & Bas!! 💯 🔥
Pete and Bas are experts on PLAY ON WORDS, they are absolute Geniuses 💯 🔥 THE ULTIMATE BEST OF BRITISH. 💞💥❤
pete and bas seem more believable with the shit they say than 99% of guys doing drill
These old blokes giving these young guys work!!! 🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥
3:50 I hunt these reactions for that look
When an American asks me to describe British culture I’m showing them this music video
They are just too cold with it, I literally had the same reaction as you
in Scotland we say Tiocfaidh ár lá as well but thats because where i live we are heavily irish influenced
They remind me so much of classic grime music with the nice flows and the good instrumental
I’m sure I read somewhere their sons or grandsons are big drill fans and they help co-write. Regardless, the delivery is top notch
They help with the slang but Pete and bas write
13yr old granddaughter got them in drill.ones a piano teacher they get given a beat and they write the bars
Wstrn reaction needs to happen! Mama Stay just dropped. Suns out tis WSTRN SEASON
Bruh, since I discovered these 2 I've been playing them on repeat. Now they my top5 UK rappers. Imagine Stormzy or Krept & Konan having them on their tracks
Need to listen to Yesterday’s Gone by Loyle Carner! Such a great album
Great reaction loved it 🔥
From what ive read, they write everything and their grandkids help with the slang and the beats
Unironically better than 99% of drill artists right now
Irish bar is legit one of the coldest bars I have ever heard from a UK artist.
P&B NEED TO BE NIGHTED. THEY WILL BE KNOWN TO ME AS SIR PETE & SIR BAS...FIRE
I saw every reaction to this track there is on YT. This one was the best. I watched you and Simon back in the day but lost track of you. Please have my sub!
This was the best review 😂👌🏾👍🏾👊🏾
They are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏❤️🙏 Pure Talent 👏🔥❤️🙏
Jon, i know its a little old, but i would love a reaction to Dave-God’s eye🙏🏼 the instrumental and lyrics are mad🔥
I was literally just hoping for you to react to this and you went and posted it lmao
Flow and cadences are on point
Cant wait for you to find Harry Mack on Omegle Bars, subbed after watching your reactions just in case
NO FKN WAYYYYY SO MANY OF MY WORLDS CROSSING HERE
theyre actually still thugged out
ur the only person ive seen thats clocked onto the Tiocfaidh ár lá bar
Loyle Carner reactions are needed!
I enjoyed every minute watching this
One thing your volume on your mic is so loud and you're when you play the music it's low should be the other way it's hard to hear the music even on the speaker
Genius really told me that they write their own songs😳😳😳
They do.
I’ve watched a few channels react to this, but when you were speechless when Bas was spitting I fucking pissed myself 🤣 great reaction mate!
Should defo do more Pete & Bas video's they deserve all the limelight they can get
Great final thoughts.
You missed the bleeped out stormzy, aitch and skeptpa bars at the end 🤣😅🔥🔥🔥🔥
18hunna (four tet remix) is one of the most insane songs to come out the UK in the last 10 years! Honestly its unreal
Have you covered any potter payper? Training day 3 mixtape was 🔥🔥🔥 no skips! Would love to see some reactions
You should watch their interview with Fumez, they said they get help with the slang but they write their own bars. Please react to KO’s daily duppy
I've always though, even if it is written for them, they are still flowing like crazy
Yeh they're grandsons are helping with the slang but apparently they write a big part of that
‘Are you fuckin taking the piss?!’😂😂😂
Need to do an album review for ghetts - conflicts of interest
I think the sovereign gone green like goblin refers to fake gold rings used to turn green?
I like how u sound way more British than usual lmao
