Ya dad is awesome bro. It's amazing that a middle aged white guy from Canada can sit down with his son and listen to hip hop and break it down so nicely. And not only that but enjoy it. Even though he's lived a TOTALLY different lifestyle he can still recognize the real. Much respect 🙏🏼 glad you showed him hip hop / rap and he gave it a chance.
@@svenvdv2880he spelled it wrong it’s avirex and it’s a leather jacket lol throwback NY gear . Wish it would’ve stuck around like timbs . But I’ll be damned if I pay 2/3k for a coat
Absolutely love that you selected Mega! The most slept on rap artist ever. The Realness and True Meaning are classics, projects you can listen to the whole album from front to back and not skip a track. Therapy and Verbal Graffiti are 2 of my favorites, but you can’t go wrong with any of them!
Great reaction to one of the most underrated, Mega! You mentioned Mobb Deep, the third verse is about Havoc's brother, Killer Black, who most of Mobb Deep's early music was inspired by.
This one surprised me. Did not expect you to do a Cormega song. Cormega is one of the only artists to drop 2 classic LPs back to back and is never mentioned for it. Great choice.
I'm sure you saw, but Cormega wants you at his next concert in Toronto. He did a post on facebook recognizing you guys. That's awesome. Kid Capri also used this beat with Jay-Z.
Cormega was slept on for sure. He deserve all his flowers. Another one I feel is legendary but hasn’t gotten enough recognition is AZ the album Aziatic was a masterpiece. Take a listen you won’t be disappointed. I still listen to it to this day.
cormega just posted you on his instagram showing his appreciation, even said if you’re from toronto he would like to invite you to be guests at his show on 17th of december !
I can't believe you know who Cormega is!!! As a Queens native I've been listening to mega for years!!!! He's definitely one of the most underrated mc's in hip hop just like Jadakiss. This particular track is one of my favorites. Anytime I listen to this it definitely reminds me of all my past friends who are no longer here. It takes me to another dimension. It even made your dad shed a tear! Lol. Just out of curiosity what state are you guys reporting from?
Your videos are dope and you've been playing some bangers! Can you please listen to a group called souls of mischief a track called 93 til infinity or thats when you lost it. They're a group from Oakland and I think you'll enjoy their music if you've never heard them
I lot of people in Ontario Canada have been influence by east coast hip hop. My buddy introduced me to Mega back in 2002. One of my favourite MCs ever since.
Man watching you guys gives me so much joy especially when you listen to artists I love and Mega is one of them. And as far as the Mobb Deep and Nas comparisons, Nas, Havoc and Cormega are from the same projects and grew up together. I have soooooo much significant information that I want to bombard you guys with lol.
Just fantastic to see this, Cormega is an incredibly independent artist full of talent his first two albums are brilliantly done with authenticity that you can just feel through his lyrics, I loved this reaction so much I’ve just subscribed! Cormega raw forever!
I love your channel so much. Watching you guide your dad thru decades of music is just beautiful. Your approach to everything and ability to frame things in an understandable way is just amazing. I don’t have the best relationship with my dad but I always end up with a smile watching these. Thank you so much man it means a lot to me
Cormega 1 of the best of all time. Remember first hearing a snippet preview of him on I believe Foxy Browns Ill nana cassette and couldn't wait for more
Great song! Impressed you reviewed this one. QB was always my favorite NY music back in the day. Mega talking about Killa Black, Havoc of Mobb Deeps bro.
Wow im suprised u know who he is him and az are the most underrated rappers. Actually this is the 1st album he released but not the 1st album he made. The 1st album he made was called the testament it was supposed to be released around 98 or 99. This album deserves a full review no skips on this joint. Great review much respect to your pops 4 having an open mind. By the way he put out the testament years after it was supposed to be released
I see a lot of ppl make similar comments to what I'm about to say but it bears repeating; you're extremely lucky to have such an open-minded pops. Me and mine get along pretty well and we share SOME similar tastes in music but he would never sit and bump Mega with me. Your pops is one of a kind
I was shocked to see this pop up on my feed. Man like Mega you know, can’t believe it! Mega is a real dude. Came to Brixton and showed the hood love. So glad you featured him. ❤
8:00 all come out of queens bridge. outside of politics if people were born out there but were influenced and pretty much chilled on the same blocks and same peer groups.
Cormega songs that are elite - journey - make it clear - unforgiven - testaments - who can I trust - the realness - dirty game - glory days - dramatic entrance - built for this - valuable lessons Heaps more too
Way to expand your reviews even more.. Cormega is a seriously slept on emcee .. but those of us who knew about him know he's dope. One of my favorites for sure.
This is without a doubt my favorite youtube channel right now. I found you just recently and I grew up with all this amazing music and it's such a massive part of my life. I always took pride in being the one my friends and others turned to alot, when they wanted some good music. I love how much this brings all kinds of different people together. Nothing else does that, quite as much as music does, even more so with hip hop, as I'm a generation between the two of you and live on the other side of the globe. You guys never fail to make me smile and laugh, keep up the good shit, thank you!
Mega is one of my favorite rappers. He has many songs on mix tapes and featured on many others. One of his issues was going in and out of jail and one of the reasons his career did not take off. In the late 90’s/early 2000s, QB had many rappers dropping gems. Especially on mix tapes. Nice review.
Peeped this on megas Instagram you have my subscription love this album these are conversations I have with my sun peace and love sent your ways fellas 🙌 The lyrics on American beuty ... I can't sleep my pens beggin me to write rhymes.... I love that shytttt
Also shouted Mega out at the end of Represent. You should do his response to One Love, Letter To Nas. Also some of the other tracks from the Testament album that got shelved and then released years later. Dead Man Walking and Testament (original). They Forced My Hand and We Will Kill You too.
Surprised you picked this first and not the saga begins remix but both songs are my favorites out of his discography. Knowing Mega, I know he will watching this review
I would love more Cormega! Was huge fan as a kid in the 90s. But I suspect a lot of your followers won’t be particularly excited about this artist cause he’s such an underground rapper. But his come up and the hype around his debut album was huge back in those days. Then he had that fallout with Nas over being kicked out of the group the Firm with Nas and Dr Dre, then his fallout with Violator and his debut album being shelved (it eventually came out later in his career). Man this dude found himself in the middle of a lot of drama haha. Either way The Realness which this song is on and is his official debut album is a NY underground classic.
One of my all time favorite albums from that era of hip hop. Killer flow, heartfelt lyrics. Street shit… all of it. He did some prison time before this came out.
I just binged your channel and I absolutely love it! I think you guys would REALLY enjoy India Arie. I would love to see you both react to her specifically The Truth by India Arie.
Click here for exclusive reactions: www.patreon.com/TheFrontRoom
Please, please, please react to Rachelle Ferrell and Will Downing duet "Nothing Has Ever Felt"! Your heart and ears will thank you!!!❤❤❤❤❤
You should do some songs from Brandi's Never Say Never Album, Some AAliyah songs too. And Toni Braxton. More 90s r&b and some Ashanti (early 2000s)
Very nice song to react to:
Is it really you - Loathe
Brother you got Play NORE CRY AND PRAY HE'LL LOVE IT
Brownstone
Grapevine
I think you fellaz may enjoy this one❤❤❤❤
Genuinely surprised and happy to see you cover Cormega.
Such a great song 🎶 underrated for sure!
Criminally underrated imo
His first two albums are classics imo
The Realness is the most underrated album of all time
Ya dad is awesome bro. It's amazing that a middle aged white guy from Canada can sit down with his son and listen to hip hop and break it down so nicely. And not only that but enjoy it.

I loved this album. I love Cormega. This is the epitome of hip hop. This channel is great.
You Dad is an honorary Queens guy, you need to get him an Avarex for Christmas.
😆
😆 👍🏼
Tf is that lol

I still go back to True Meaning for those songs. The whole album is only like 49 mins long but that shit will be on replay for days
Cormega has a good discography. He recently dropped the realness 2 and it's also great.
The first track on The Realness is insane
Agreed. So great
I was not expecting Cormega.
I love that album.
Great reaction to one of the most underrated, Mega! You mentioned Mobb Deep, the third verse is about Havoc's brother, Killer Black, who most of Mobb Deep's early music was inspired by.
"They forced my hand" on the same album is easily one of my favourite songs, ever, from any genre of music. Loved the talk between you two on Cormega!
Now I got to relisten to that song
What a great surprise here. Haven't seen many Cormega reactions so this is good to see. Great emcee.
WOW....I'm SHOCKED by this one! Props to you for even knowing who MEGA is!

Cover ‘Beautiful Mind’ by Cormega. One of his best ones for sure 👌🏽
cormega just posted you on his instagram showing his appreciation, even said if you’re from toronto he would like to invite you to be guests at his show on 17th of december !
This is the last thing I expected. Massive W tho. I love mega’s verse on Three, Whats ya poison, thun & kicko. His flow is so unique

I lot of people in Ontario Canada have been influence by east coast hip hop. My buddy introduced me to Mega back in 2002. One of my favourite MCs ever since.

Well I cried listening to this, never heard Cormega before as far as I know, thanks bro
Im loving the frequent videos
Thanks awesome to hear! We will try to keep them coming quick
Mega forever. This is one for the real rap fans. Had his first two albums on heavy rotation for years. Heavily underrated
Oh yes, Cormega!!! I always love it the best when you cover real Hip-Hop! Great to see your dad appreciating these amazing songs as well!

On FB , Cormega invited you to his Toronto show.
I appreciate all the content you guys have been putting out
We appreciate you watching!
Beautiful mind is another one from Cormega that you guys must react too
Mega and Nas are childhood friends from the same neighborhood
Cormega is a genuine human that deserves all attention possible!
Great song! Impressed you reviewed this one. QB was always my favorite NY music back in the day. Mega talking about Killa Black, Havoc of Mobb Deeps bro.
I can’t believe you didn’t react de la soul yet!
Especially 3 feet high and rising and the next two albums are masterpieces!🔥
You both would love it!
Keep droppin Mega. You have plenty of material of his to cover. Hes my favorite out of everyone from QB. This whole album is a complete classic

Wow, im very impressed that you guys did a Cormega video. Such an underrated rapper. Keep it up.
Cormega actually invited you guys to his Toronto show as personal guests, IDK if you saw.
Yes, we did! Amazing.
I can’t believe I’m only finding these videos just now. I love watching people introduced to hip hop that I’ve grown up and loved all my life.
Ohhhhhhhh shit, about time...The Saga & American Beauty are dope too...honestly the whole album is classic, and the sequel is a true sequel.
Huge fan of Cormega, massively underrated
Yes!!! I knew pops would love mega!!
I see a lot of ppl make similar comments to what I'm about to say but it bears repeating; you're extremely lucky to have such an open-minded pops. Me and mine get along pretty well and we share SOME similar tastes in music but he would never sit and bump Mega with me. Your pops is one of a kind

Great to see a Mega reaction. Played the hell out of this album back in the day
CORMEGA - THE SAGA REMIX
THIS SONG IS A MUST!!!!
Ya pops is connecting things purely thru the music. This channel is amazing! We are actually watching someone recover rap! Wow!
Mega is one of my favorite rappers. He has many songs on mix tapes and featured on many others. One of his issues was going in and out of jail and one of the reasons his career did not take off. In the late 90’s/early 2000s, QB had many rappers dropping gems. Especially on mix tapes. Nice review.
Beautiful Mind from the album Legal Hustle by Cormega. Another great song.
This is amazing! Thank you for playing Cormega. He is phenomenal.
Thank you, guys, for playing Mega great song choice
Straight Classic Album. Cormega is one of my favourite artists.
A true all time great. And one of my favorite songs. I think every single person on the planet can relate to this song.

The lyrics on American beuty ... I can't sleep my pens beggin me to write rhymes.... I love that shytttt
Cormega himself said that he would like to invite you guys to his show in Toronto Dec 17!
That whole album is hard!!! Are you my nigga is my joint. Him and Nas is from the same hood so you can see the similarities.
Never expected this! Keep up the good work!
If you like the feel of this, I highly Recommend “where was heaven” by WU Syndicate.
Great reaction. Should show him Mega "Get out my way" or "Thin Line". So underatted
Also shouted Mega out at the end of Represent. You should do his response to One Love, Letter To Nas. Also some of the other tracks from the Testament album that got shelved and then released years later.
Dead Man Walking and Testament (original). They Forced My Hand and We Will Kill You too.
Cormega!! I love how your dad knew he was a conscious artist.
Cormega has to be one of the most underrated rappers of all time
Try Cormega album Legal Hustle. The song Beautiful Mind. One of my favorites. Word

The 12" for this was released in 99 before the album. I remember buying it.
Wow, you guys are doing Cormega. Awesome👍🏼
I'm SHOCKED to see Cormega on here. True pioneer who is never really discussed much.
Cormega Love in Love Out and Freestyle Stretch and Bobbito its 7min Long also look and watch MF Grimm Scars and Memories
You guys are bloody awesome
Bravo 👏. Giving Cormega shine ✨. Well done: 👏 💎
Powerful track! The words paint the picture 🖼️!
One of my all time favorite albums from that era of hip hop. Killer flow, heartfelt lyrics. Street shit… all of it. He did some prison time before this came out.
Love love love that album!
Dont forget about the 2nd version. Was pops aware 3rd verse was actually Havs brother? He definitely recognized the name. Keep it up fellas
There is rap,then there's Hiphop.Hip hop has soul;when it hits you, you feel it.This is pure,raw,uncut hiphop
I just binged your channel and I absolutely love it! I think you guys would REALLY enjoy India Arie. I would love to see you both react to her specifically The Truth by India Arie.
Cormega & Nas was Close friends at one point. Should have told your Father that. lol
I met Cormega in person and I was able to get a couple stuff signed from him, real genuine cat salute to Cormega one of my favorites.
