Listening to Westside Gunn's music is like going to a wine tasting at an art gallery but instead of wine its hennessy and the art gallery is in the most dangerous part of the city and everyone has weapons on them
What I love about this channel is that you've grown a fan base with a good taste in music. Seeing people suggest more Griselda, Boldy James, Roc Marciano, etc is cool as hell for a reaction channel.

You need to dive deep into Griselda. Some suggestions: Tana Talk 3, Hitler Wears Hermes 7, Lulu, Flygod is an Awesome God, WWCD, Flygod, etc. there's a lot more but I think that these will help you get started. Keep delivering that quality content 💪 Edit: For y'all saying that I didn't mention Flygod, you're right. Don't need to be such dicks over it, I clearly said etc. and that there's a lot more.
Tana Talk 3 is one of the most underrated albums in a long time. It's bangers all the way through. Not exactly a concept album, but it's Benny at his absolute best over the grimiest shit possible.
the shawn michael's promo on french toast is westside gunn admitting that his singing on french toast isn't very good lol, shawn says "i'll admit, I'm no singer"
Westside actually caught the CHYYYNA virus and had it while he recorded Shawn vs Flair. He was at home on a ventilator when Premo sent him the beat and wanted to be on the project. So he practised the song in his head and had to get it right in the first few takes as he didnt have enough strength and breath to do it. He was watching the Flair vs Shawn match when Premo factimed him so he made me watch it with him on facetime, hence the name of the song.
7:44 "My team is special like the eleven, let's kick this shit off I'm Steve Tasker in Buffalo run, and I'ma get ya" There's 11 players on the field in American football, kick this shit off is referring to punting the ball. Steve Tasker, a Buffalo Bills legend, was on special teams as a Gunner, who's main priority was designed to run down the punt returner and tackle them. All in 2 lines.
I remember when Flygod was first released in 2016. I noticed that not a lot of people knew about this guy (including myself) so I thought I'd give it a play. After the first two songs I was HOOKED. I remember thinking "THIS is the rap I've been wanting to hear for so long!" Thankfully Griselda has been releasing MANY albums since and I've discovered so many low-key rappers that aren't really talked about. Roc Marci, Tha God Fahim, Mach Hommy, Eto, Flee Lord, Your Old Droog, etc.
@@achronos178 Stolen Youth is the best Vince Staples project and most people don't know it exists. If you haven't, check it out for exactly what you're asking for
i knew after the die lit review you’d be my favorite reviewer, but i didn’t think it would happen this quick “imagine a better world where this was doing the numbers that some of the music that gets 100 million views in few weeks” 10/10
PLEASE PLEASE check out Boldy James - The Price of Tea in China. Hip Hop album of the year for me so far with beats by Alchemist. This is my first time begging for a reaction lmaoooo but you have to react to this for your own good man trust me, peace and love
Dope reaction man! hope you dive deeper into Griselda even if you don't record it, they got a lot of gems in their discography. Keep up the great work homie
One of the best if not the best reaction channels in the game rn. Keep up the good work. Would love to see some more push t action or mike deans (a huge producer/instrumentalist for travis and Kanye) new debut album: 4:20. Also would love to see more Freddie Gibbs action. If you love these instrumentals you'll love his, piñata is worth your time without a doubt.
Also missed Conway the machine x alchemist lulu, BUT BIG THANKS FOR THE REACTION🔥 Also Boldy James the price of tea in China with alchemist is my personal favorite this year!
Pleasssse do some classic albums from the Wu Tang Clan - 36 Chambers, Wu Tang Forever, Only Built 4 Cuban Links, Supreme Clientele, Liquid Swords, or Iron Man. Thanks John!!
The Shawn Michaels promo of "Im not a singer" at the end of French Toast references Westgunn singing the hook on French Toast as he's a hard rapper and not a proficient singer
Guess it's time for WWCD! Then id move onto more of their solo projects, LULU, Tana Talk 3, Hitler Wears Hermes 7, etc. Fucking big fan of Griselda and super happy to see a reaction video
Please react to Roc Marciano-Marcielago, Boldy James-The Price of Tea in China and Hermits and the Recluse-Orpheus vs the Sirens. As a writer, you would definitely like the poetic storytelling and bars on all of these albums!
mixtapes of mac miller. You gotta hear delusional thomas mixtape. or the larry fisherman mixtape. I know youre into mac and thats his like alter egos, seperate projects from his main self. so yeah check em out if ya get a chance! delusion thomas is like horror dark stories its great. Larry fisherman is so good too very jazzy beats for that mixtape.
Glad to see this get a reaction - was disappointed you didn't do Royce's The Allegory though, that was a great album that you'd have probably enjoyed a lot and reactions would have been good to see.
The first vibe I got from it was action Bronson. Just the way he references all these nice beautiful things. How he raps everything together and paints such a vivid picture of something I haven’t experienced myself
When I first listened to this album, I thought Westside Gunn sounded a lot like Action Bronson too, just with a higher pitch voice. Definitely has a similar flow
To comment on something you said about not wanting to pick a favorite yet: in my experience, the deeper you get, they’ll all be your favorites at one point or another lol. While what they do is similar, they all offer something a little different, and shine brighter at different moments.
You should make follow up videos like a year later, liked I'd love to hear your take on Channel Orange, Blonde, 1999, etc.. all now that you've maybe listened to more or just had more perspective on
Listening to Westside Gunn's music is like going to a wine tasting at an art gallery but instead of wine its hennessy and the art gallery is in the most dangerous part of the city and everyone has weapons on them
So, basically, just not a wine tasting at an art gallery?😭🤣
@@vivekbilous4511 lmao that was the point yes
Chris Hughes hahaha nice fair enough🤣
@@vivekbilous4511 grimy but luxurious is how Gunn explains his style
I love this
Wrestling and fashion are to Griselda what Kung Fu flicks and martial arts are to Wu Tang.
Perfect comparison
Great comparison and nice PFP

Westside Gunn - FLYGOD Reaction. Album is a classic IMO
CLASSIC!!!
Not knocking the album at all, but I don't think you guys know what classic means
@@sudoman What's a classic mean in your opinion???
Will Njundong it’s classic album forsure but classic is thrown out to much though
im so happy people actually listen to westide gunn old shit 🙏 i fucks with you
You need to dive deep into Griselda. Some suggestions: Tana Talk 3, Hitler Wears Hermes 7, Lulu, Flygod is an Awesome God, WWCD, Flygod, etc. there's a lot more but I think that these will help you get started. Keep delivering that quality content 💪
Edit: For y'all saying that I didn't mention Flygod, you're right. Don't need to be such dicks over it, I clearly said etc. and that there's a lot more.
westside gunn 4th rope , because he a pro wrestling fan
I reckon Tana Talk 3 is the best place to start
Nirvan Sircar yes, Tana talk 3 imo is the best Griselda project. TT3, R2, Flygod And WWCD good places to start imo
Also The Price of Tea in China, even though technically, it is not a Griselda project
Tana Talk 3 is one of the most underrated albums in a long time. It's bangers all the way through. Not exactly a concept album, but it's Benny at his absolute best over the grimiest shit possible.
the shawn michael's promo on french toast is westside gunn admitting that his singing on french toast isn't very good lol, shawn says "i'll admit, I'm no singer"
Glad someone else peeped that lol
He's not really trying to sing. That's the jist. I swear people don't understand rap.
@@YSSipher seems to me that he does in fact know his rap music. Chill tf out
it's him saying he's not a singer he's an icon so he can get away with it.
Westside actually caught the CHYYYNA virus and had it while he recorded Shawn vs Flair. He was at home on a ventilator when Premo sent him the beat and wanted to be on the project. So he practised the song in his head and had to get it right in the first few takes as he didnt have enough strength and breath to do it.

Behold A Dark Horse - Roc Marciano
Honor Killed The Samurai - Ka
Hiding Places - Billy Woods
Oh yes
hiding places needs to happen
i think we're gonna need to see these legendary JD tap dancing moves you speak of.
watch this be a bonus on patreon.
For those that don’t know. The tap dancer is Cartier Williams who tap danced to Westside Gunn’s song “Perfect Plex” at Paris’ Fashion week show
bryantnardizzi that was extremely nice to know
Love this guy he actually understands the greatness
I don’t even have to watch to give like to this!!! Still waiting on some more Gibbs reactions, Denton!
Commenting and liking before ive even watching this mate but u are the man for this 🔥 love it

This albums been on rotation for me since it came out, such a good one!

The Price of Tea in China by Boldy James is my album of the year, and you'd absolutely LOSE IT for that project
Giant slide is a ridiculously great song
I need vince staple to drop an album rapping like he did on POTIC.
@@achronos178 Stolen Youth is the best Vince Staples project and most people don't know it exists. If you haven't, check it out for exactly what you're asking for
Also its entirely produced by Mac Miller
Loved this album! Just did my first reaction video. Check out flygod is an awesome god my favourite project from him, GUNLIB IS INSANE
yessss more underground shit please, LULU - Conway the Machine. When do you think ATLiens will be on TH-cam?
underground? signed to shady records?
@@SkrappyQ what does a rapper being signed with Eminems label mean? He still underground not everyone listens to these guys
Man you have the best music reviews on TH-cam
Allah Sent Me is probably my favorite track... I play that on repeat when I'm walking around town.
This is probably Westside Gunn’s top 3 projects with FlyGod & Supreme Blientele
Aight nah Jon you doing something now tana talk 3 next
I stumbled out of my sleep and have been in awe of GRISELDA ever since. They are all exquisite at what they do!
bet you'd be VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED listening to Taylor Swift REPUTATION ALBUM !!!
i knew after the die lit review you’d be my favorite reviewer, but i didn’t think it would happen this quick “imagine a better world where this was doing the numbers that some of the music that gets 100 million views in few weeks” 10/10
One of the greatest outros I've heard!! So cinematic!
Gotta do Tana talk 3 by Benny... one of the best hip hop albums of the decade
Facts
PLEASE PLEASE check out Boldy James - The Price of Tea in China. Hip Hop album of the year for me so far with beats by Alchemist. This is my first time begging for a reaction lmaoooo but you have to react to this for your own good man trust me, peace and love
Dope reaction man! hope you dive deeper into Griselda even if you don't record it, they got a lot of gems in their discography. Keep up the great work homie
This is my album of the year so far. This album, Lulu, and The Allegory by Royce are all in my top 5. West on another level
Sachin Rampersaud what’s ur favorite shit of Lulu I been bumpin Calvin crazy
Razor58 14ki’s and Calvin are my shit
Sachin Rampersaud good bbs’ too
*gold
You should check out Orpheus vs. The Sirens by Hermit and The Recluse!
Think you’d love pretty much everything these guys put out. cold blooded, tough, and fly as hell gangsta rap nobody doing it like this nowadays
You need to react to some Roc Marciano !! Reloaded, Marcberg, Marcielago for example. i think you'll like it
One of the best if not the best reaction channels in the game rn. Keep up the good work. Would love to see some more push t action or mike deans (a huge producer/instrumentalist for travis and Kanye) new debut album: 4:20. Also would love to see more Freddie Gibbs action. If you love these instrumentals you'll love his, piñata is worth your time without a doubt.
So far my favorite hip hop album this year. Though hip hop, for me, has looked pretty lackluster this year, until RTJ4. This is a real standout.
Also missed Conway the machine x alchemist lulu, BUT BIG THANKS FOR THE REACTION🔥 Also Boldy James the price of tea in China with alchemist is my personal favorite this year!
Jon, you GOTTA react to Roc Marciano. Any album, preferably Reloaded or Marcielago.
Pleasssse do some classic albums from the Wu Tang Clan - 36 Chambers, Wu Tang Forever, Only Built 4 Cuban Links, Supreme Clientele, Liquid Swords, or Iron Man. Thanks John!!
Idk if you have yet, but you should review Benny The Butcher - Tana Talk 3 and also Roc Marciano - Behold a Dork Horse
The Shawn Michaels promo of "Im not a singer" at the end of French Toast references Westgunn singing the hook on French Toast as he's a hard rapper and not a proficient singer
Now we either need: more griselda (benny the butcher, conway) or the Saint JHN albums. Both are great!
loving this.. react to RR2: The Bitter Dose by Roc Marciano next Jon!!
Guess it's time for WWCD! Then id move onto more of their solo projects, LULU, Tana Talk 3, Hitler Wears Hermes 7, etc. Fucking big fan of Griselda and super happy to see a reaction video
You should do OutKast season while the quarantine is still in effect
Do some Roc Marciano!! He’s so under appreciated
Derek Lopez for sure, what project u reckon he’d fuck with tho? I can’t even choose lol
@@benvarney Behold A Dark Horse for sure
Matt Girdler thats probably a good intro to roc tbf. Damn I wanna see him react to that shit now
Marcberg and reloaded are 2 big classics
@@benvarney I'd say rosebudds revenge 2
Please react to Roc Marciano-Marcielago, Boldy James-The Price of Tea in China and Hermits and the Recluse-Orpheus vs the Sirens. As a writer, you would definitely like the poetic storytelling and bars on all of these albums!
Love this vid too!
@10:20 I feel that. Kinda like New Faces feat Earl Sweat by Mac. Them keys can do weird things man
Check out
Alchemist, Action Bronson & Co - Yatch Rock 2
Please react to AS MUCH GRISELDA AS POSSIBLE. All 7 Hitler Wears Hermes, WWCD, Everybody is Food 1-3, Tana Talk 3, and more
You would love Al Divino and Estee Nack - Abrakadabra Alakazam!
Hell yes Jon! This album is so good. Griselda taking over
Best Griselda albums (my opinion) from each member:
WestSide Gunn: 1. Flygod --- 2. Supreme Blientele
Conway: 1. Reject 2 --- 2. G.o.a.t
Benny: 1. Tana talk 3 --- 2.The plugs i met
flygod my favorite album of them all btw :)
T Mill good picks. for me hitler wears hermes 2 is my favorite from wes and butcher on steroids is my fav from benny.
mixtapes of mac miller. You gotta hear delusional thomas mixtape. or the larry fisherman mixtape. I know youre into mac and thats his like alter egos, seperate projects from his main self. so yeah check em out if ya get a chance! delusion thomas is like horror dark stories its great. Larry fisherman is so good too very jazzy beats for that mixtape.
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Make a album reaction for Heard It In The Past Life by Maggie Rogers, you gonna love it 🙏🏻
Boldy james - price of tea in china ,one of the best productions on that project
The Shawn Michael’s reference on ‘french toast’ is an acknowledgment to the fact that he knows he can’t sing. It’s genius and funny 😄
Freddie Gibbs madlib BANDANA. Straight FLAMES🔥🔥
i honestly clicked on this video not expecting for you to do such an amazing job ...my bad heres a like
Glad to see this get a reaction - was disappointed you didn't do Royce's The Allegory though, that was a great album that you'd have probably enjoyed a lot and reactions would have been good to see.
You are a big big G Mr Denton. RESPEK
sick album sick review
jon you need to listen to Manger On McNichols by Boldy James & Sterling Toles! It's BY FAR the best griselda project and that is NOT an exaggeration
Real Hip-Hop Reaction! Just Subscribed.
The first vibe I got from it was action Bronson. Just the way he references all these nice beautiful things. How he raps everything together and paints such a vivid picture of something I haven’t experienced myself

Great review mate, cheers from Canada
Great review and you really get what Westside is doing.
Great video. Can you check out Let the Sun Talk by Mavi
When I first listened to this album, I thought Westside Gunn sounded a lot like Action Bronson too, just with a higher pitch voice. Definitely has a similar flow
1:20 I had that same look on my face when I first heard ”George Bondo” 🔥
LETS GO! GxFr are the truth Jon!
Jon is going to love this! Commenting before I even watch😂
React to The Cow wit WestSide and Conway, Conway goes crazy
To comment on something you said about not wanting to pick a favorite yet: in my experience, the deeper you get, they’ll all be your favorites at one point or another lol. While what they do is similar, they all offer something a little different, and shine brighter at different moments.
*”$500 Ounces” & “Claiborne Kick” are my favorite off this, they just hit.*
You the best reviewer ever
