@@cent9424 honestly, idk. Dave’s discography is deep and varied and he is still young. He is also literally a musical genius. Love j cole (we’re from the same state and I’ve listened to him for most of his career) but Dave is a different animal altogether, imo.
@@pop-up5982 I mean who checks off as many boxes as Dave at such a high level? He might not be the best in the world at any one thing in particular, but he is probably the most well-rounded hip-hop artist in the world at the moment.
The whole psychodrama album is just a masterpiece, the way all the songs link together with the therapist sessions. Dave is among the best if not the best the uk has ever produced. The fact he can drop something like this and then next drop a number 1 with ease. Great reaction, psycho is my personal favourite from this album.
This is a pretty cool breakdown from a different perspective than most people reviewing hip hop. It makes it more incredible to know he was 19 when he made this. Dave has an incredible ability to bring his thoughts and feelings to life in such detail, the light flashes eye gashes line feels all too real.
The last lines "A child without a name, oh it's just wrong" implies to me that the mom died while giving birth, never giving a name to their child, which is just gut-wrenching.
Feel like that’s a bit of a stretch. What about all the other ones ? Do any of them have a deeper meaning ? Why single that one out ? Only cause it’s last ?
@@siddery8080 yea but I’m saying the last line mentioned above does not necessarily suggest that. The entire story may suggest that, but not that specific line.
Loved the reaction, hoped you give Dave another chance with exactly this song. Lesley is a absolute masterpiece and his message with it should be spread as often as possible to anyone in need or to prevent things like this as much as even possible from happening or escalating further. He did alot of songs with such heavy messages but diffrent topics - Picture Me and Heart Attack are the top notch of them together with Lesley. He adreeses the youth - the misunderstanding of the usual events the people encounter in situations like he has seen or lived through and trying to show them a very unique way to see to these things - to learn from them - to overcome the problems and mistakes that had or needed to happen since there was everying coming together for it again. One of the greatest artists of our time - you will stumble about much more great stuff if you go down his rabbit hole further. :-)
Nothing else existed when I heard this song for the first time. It’s such a captivating story with such a powerful message that you have no choice but to listen and take in each detail. It almost transcends being a song and is more of an experience. Absolutely phenomenal and gut wrenching.
Subbed. Quality reaction and breakdown. I'm pretty sure this is based on true story about a family member of Daves, unbelievable story telling and picture painting True artist 🔥
As always a great reaction and another very in depth breakdown you are so very good at these I am so glad that you do these reactions/breakdowns always having something real to say I like that and as always your ride or die forever Eyyyy Oooo
Aww Rosalie, what a powerful reaction, I’m exactly the same - I’ve heard this track so many times and it still brings me to tears every time. Dave is special, he’s also confirmed this story was based on a family member of his. I think the baby didn’t have a name because Lesley didn’t survive the assault so wasn’t able to name the baby straight away. However, it could be the opposite, that the baby died and Lesley had to carry on without her/him. The album is based on therapy sessions Dave attended. He’s been through a lot, his Dad wasn’t able to stay in the country, his mum struggled bringing up the kids on her own. They grew up in a poor area of London, his brother was involved in crime from an early age and is currently in prison for murder. Dave’s live performance of ‘Black’ live at the Brit Awards is also fantastic and well worth reacting to.
You are very passionate and u are meticulous in how u break things down. U could be the female version of knoxx hill who is very thorough. Dave is a lyrical genuis a true poet the listeners will always appreciate his art form his a breath of fresh air we need artists like him in today's music
this song gets to me as it happened to my mother, and is the reason why she gave me up. her boyfriend (not my father) she was pregnant but did not know when she met her boyfriend, but when he found out she was pregnant he would punch her in the stomach and he threw her down the stairs, in the end she had to escape througha window, but she went back to him, she chose him over me. she gave me up so he didnt kill me. but he left my legs slightly twisted, so i cant run. so this hits me hard
Thank you for "virtually visiting" music from different countries. I hope someday you will react to Latvian music, too. However, that might be a bit tricky because the songs that we produce nowadays in English are often void of "Latvian essence" and sound much like music from any other country. Historically, Latvian music has been rocky, a bit experimental, and sometimes sentimental. This was caused by the fact that Latvia was occupied by the USSR for decades, and we had to express our desire for freedom in our music, but we had to hide it deeper to get through the censorship. During the last years of the USSR, when we felt we are so close to our freedom, our songs became more open. We have a song and dance festival, which is one of the largest amateur choral and dancing events in the world, every five years. We sing our folk songs and also our "freedom songs". Those are bittersweet moments when tens of thousands of people sing and feel the pain of their parents who fought for freedom in the only way they could - with art. Because we had no chance to fight with weapons against the USSR. Some modern Latvian songs are still true to this style. One of them is actually in English. It's the song "Aijā" by Sudden Lights, and Latvia will send it to Eurovision this year. It tells a story that might be interesting to analyze and also it has that Latvian bitter-sweet and sentimental, somewhat experimental rock. Another, much more sentimental song with a bitter-sweet melody and meaningful lyrics is Walter & Kazha - The War Is Not Over, which also was sent to Eurovision many years ago. This song was also noticed and covered by the Danish band "Michael Learns To Rock", which was more known than the Latvian authors of the song. Thank you for reading this and have an awesome day :) Greetings from Latvia!
@@bignik6209 Created a system and a government that initiated massive population transfers and deportations (a few of my relatives were deported and I never saw them). That caused lots of pain and confusion for smaller nations. Smaller cultures were - and still are - belittled as "not important" when compared to the "great and powerful Russian culture". They say they freed us from Germany but that was not an act of generosity; that was just an excuse to gain our territory - like a fireman saving you from a fire and then staying in your home and ruling over you.

No one can punch you in the guts like dave can. Greatest rapper alive.
Mike Tyson definitely hits harder than Dave , skinny twig arms 😂
jcole is levels above but dave has definitely created something for himself in the uk scene and rap in general

“on that train that you’re taking, how many leslys are running from their jasons?” one of my favourites bars ever from him
This is a song based on a close family member of Dave’s which is why I think it hits so hard because the emotions are real from Dave

Thanks for doing more Dave! What a masterpiece. Nothing more needs to be said.
You are going to be one of the biggest react channels! You actually get it like you focus on the lyrics and the instruments and show raw emotion!
Btw could you react to Dave-Heart attack please it is incredible
thank you very much :)
Genuinely the best reaction & analysis I've seen to this song.
thank you very much
Daves lyrical/deep songs:
Lesly
Black
Survivors guilt
How I met my ex
Heart attack

Psycho
All heart wrenching
19th birthday?

True artist 🔥
Just listen the whole album! it’s one big therapy session 😢
the final verse is a killer. gets me every single time.
crazy to me that this song evokes such a reaction from people even before they are told the story is based on his mothers life
As always a great reaction and another very in depth breakdown you are so very good at these I am so glad that you do these reactions/breakdowns always having something real to say I like that and as always your ride or die forever Eyyyy Oooo
Can see u have suffered pain too 😢hugs from me to u, my daughter introduced me to this and I was a blubbering mess 😂
Thanks for showing me I’m not alone with tears in my eyes ❤
