Curran Conradi I think you might be going a lil too far talking about he pushed them to go harder But still Cree to Kendrick for those direct indirect bars
william hutchinson I mean I'm not trying to give Kdot ALL the credit but at the time Kendrick was still relatively unknown and he called out all dudes that were at the top (at the time) Kendrick defiantly made an impression on those dudes.
It’s called Control because Kendrick Lamar is from the West coast/Compton. Big Sean is from the Mid West/Detroit. Jay Electronica is from the East Coast/New York. They’re representing their respective parts of the US.
What? Jay Elec is from NO. That’s why he said “the tale of a magnificent king who came from the nooks of the wild magnolia”, referring to the magnolia projects.
@@MrfuckinBeilke thats not the point, they dont gotta look at the annotations, but lyric videos usually have grossly incorrect lyrics, at least genius is accurate most of the time
Seeing the two of you fully diving into hip hop culture and actually paying attention makes me so happy. Alot of people don't understand how this was a major outlet for African Americans to talk about what they grew up in and it was so negatively taken in the late 80's but has grown into this. Now people just judge the whole culture with radio songs which isn't even the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this culture. Ugh im so happy with you two. Sorry for ranting
That's so true. Growing up black, in a predominantly white environment, I never rlly let people know that I liked hip-hop because of the way I'd be perceived. It's cool people are beginning to look beneath the surface now and that people are starting to appreciate hip hop culture for the depth it has.
I accidentally had Kdot's "FEAR" in one of my playlists, and dad was in the car. Wyoming military dude, immediately went to change it but he stopped me. Let it play through, and I got him to listen to not only DAMN, but TPAB as well. He couldn't stomach maad city lmao, but I was really impressed.
This is not the moment people went holy shit about Kendrick, that had happened already. However this made hip hop pause for a few weeks, which was very amazing because k dot was calling people out for weak rhymes and it got a big reaction. Rare in this bubblegum era.
Ab-Soul - The Book Of Soul "Ab-Soul narrates through the complications of his life; the love life he had with Alori Joh, how her death affected him, and how he does things his own way and won’t be stopped. The smooth, jazz-influenced production came from his foreign connection, Tommy Black, who put a twist on MF DOOM’s instrumental, “Burdock…"
I like to consider Kendrick's verse the equivalent of a speech given by a captain of a sports team. He [Kendrick] clearly felt hip hop, and the artists therein, where not pushing the genre enough and so he gave everyone a jolt of energy and inspiration with this verse. Also, a quick fact, this song was meant to appear on a Big Sean project but when he heard how much fire Kendrick brought, he gave the song to him. You've just got to love him.
Now that you like this there are 3 tracks that you MUST do!!!! they are: - That Part (Black Hippy Remix) - 1 Train - ASAP Rocky ft like 5 other rappers (including Kendrick and Joey!!) - Black Friday - J Cole and Kendrick - This is the hardest both of them have ever gone, it's insane, trust me.
This verse literally shook the rap industry. Kendrick’s verse was trending on twitter for 10 days. It also motivated everyone who got name dropped to work harder and made them drop their best projects. Kendrick is the GOAT
Not really people still put out of their work regardless. Not one rapper says that this affected their work. This only had impact because in this era of friendliness, kendrick called out alot of his peers and none of them had the guts to do it at that time.
8:17 for future reference a song like this is called a posse cut, where it's several rappers just trying to have the best verse among all the other rappers in the song
True that. I remember hearing this and literally putting my headphones down and saying he is the best rapper and pointed at my ghetto ass tablet. Knowing rap had returned I went and bought born sinner. Let's just say my life as a trailer park kid into a house buying adult was inspired by this one verse.
You are correct. Not Kendrick's best but it is a top 10 verse, I would also like to point out that Hip Hop needed this song from these 3 artists. Especially Kendrick.
Definitely. Look at Cole, his label is doing wonders and he released some of his own important albums and singles. KRIT starting to make waves again with his own Classic 4eva Was A Mighty Long Time. Wale is still middling but has done well enough and R.I.P Miller.
"What is competition, I'm tryna raise the bar high" is probably the best summary to pick one line for what Kendrick was doing. He wasn't at all talking down on the people he mentioned (although he did go on to have beef with Sean), the point was that he was trying to raise the bar. He's trying to raise the bar himself and bringing in the names of all these well known and respected rappers into it, he's forcing them to raise the bar for themselves and so in theory, hip hop as a whole in order to keep up with the competition. It's so dope.
YetiHype also by dropping all those names he set the bar high for HIMSELF. After you spit bars like that you can't put out any trash or throwaways, and Kendrick still has yet to disappoint.
Sometimes, I feel like nobody is listening words anymore, only what they want to hear ! There is no controversy in this particular part of the kendrick verde. All this part talks about is LOVE, RESPECT and COMPETITION SPIRIT as part of hip hop DNA. Kendrick estimates them at least as equal. Like sport, you need to compete with the best players to be the best. He loves the game, he loves to play and he loves his comrades but in the end, they are all rap game opponents. No diss, just love, respect and competition. Not the way I think but understandable as hip hop fan. By the way, I love the way how you're listening music. Keep it up guys !
u by Kendrick or Black Friday by both Kendrick and J Cole which rap on each others beats. Especially u. that's one of the most artistic songs I have ever heard.
So many bars I don't think they would be ready lol. definitely would need the lyrics up.. even then they probably would not appreciate the greatness of that track.
dadorage haha they not ready but I definitely think they'd appreciate the greatness, but with the lyrics up probably. They appreciate anything that's good I'd honestly be surprised if they didn't
The reason Kendricks verse on on this was so iconic was because there has always been beef between west coast hiphop and east coast and Kendrick, from LA, said he was king of New york, ("I juggle em both"). Obviously was also huge because he came out and named all the biggest rappers at the time and said I got love for you all but I'm trying to murder you like try to come take this crown I ain't scared of nobody. He wasn't calling these people out because they were bad, he was saying I want you all to try to step to me because I really am the best. The people he named were the people he respected the most and he wanted spark some competition to prove he was the best.
nah hes in no way underrated, if anything Jay electronica is overrated. I've met people who have him in their best rappers list when the dude doesn't have a single project out. Jay electronica frustrates the hell out of me because hes ridiculously talented as a rapper but for whatever reason refuses to put out more songs
i remember when this dropped it was like the world stood still the entire Rap community was in shock. B.O.B dissed him, Lupe Fiasco dissed him, Joe budden was jealous he wasn't on the list lmfao hella ppl felt a way.
Been waiting on this one for a while, looking forward to the reaction and im so looking forward to you doing some more Joey Badass. I also highly recommend Lupe Fiasco - Mural, its arguably lyrically one of the best rap songs ever. Also Jay Electronica - Exhibit C, one of the best rap verses of all time in my opinion. Edit: After realising you have the lyrics on screen for this song, you need the lyrics on screen for both songs
I would say Dumb It Down before they dive into the lava pit that is Mural.. Either way they'll probably be mindfucked for a month trying to figure out what's going on...
Nugs McDankerson Mural is a song you need to actively listen to, to even have a hope at understanding most of the bars. Its actually just nice to listen too because of the rhymes
+Rock React jay electronica was one of the most anticipated hiphop artists of all time if not the most, his writing abilities had people like jay z ,nas and even T.I co signing him over the years but then he went on hiatus and never released his album, you should maybe listen to his song exhibit c, its legendary. also kendricks voice on this song is so grimy i'm glad simon didn't recognize it at first cause it's so different from his other voices, its the old freestyle section 80 kendrick type of voice :).
Eloy Urbina All rappers give corny bars, but since people specifically point out Big Sean for having corny bars, they’re watching for the corny bars. It’s like when someone points out a “flaw” about someone and now you can’t unsee it. Now every time you see that person, that’s all you see.
BroImLeandre I don’t think that’s the case yes all rappers have corny bars we can literally have a contest and show side by side him to say Kendrick and he will have many more bad lines
Jay Electronica is from New Orleans, Louisiana (aka The Magnolia). He has long been acknowledged by many hip hop fans as one of the top lyricists even though he has never released an official album.
Syed Ayaan true same thing I said with earl's better music. Imagine if they tried Aesop, or even black thought they won't get any of the references by any barely esoteric artists. Guys like Andre, rakim, redman,nas, elzhi, ra rugged man will be more up their ally when it comes to lyricists.
Needless Moose we agree DOOM is incredible but will they enjoy or understand anything without a genius explanation, maybe not. That's not a dig DOOM isn't the type of artist to listenti once and get everything I just don't think they will find any reason to hook into his work, more likely they will default cop out to "I can tell what he does with words is incredible but its not for me." I am sure simon won't like any of the beats either.
Isaiah Mc Intosh I mean yeah it took me like 100 listens to catch every little thing in Accordion it would still be interesting to see what they think of Doom I think.
"Draw a line around some Earth and put my name on the plot / 'Cause I endured alot of pain for everything that I got" To this day those bars give me chills.
Now that youve done one of your most requested can you please react to kendrick lamar and j cole - black friday. Not an iconic moment by any means but they both released songs called black friday where cole raps over one of kendricks most famous beats and kendrick raps over one of coles most famous beats. Kendrick easily has the better black friday imo but you should listen to them both in the same episode to be able to compare them directly
You guys need to hear DJ Khalid- Holy Key. Big Sean and Kendrick go bar for the bar it's insane they have an ongoing feud that just magnifies every track they're on together.
Tomas Manriquez Yes! People are always requesting Kendrick songs (or songs featuring him), but they should switch it up with something more experimental.
Jay electronica is a weird story in hip hop considered one of the greats but never realesed music at one point he dissed Kendrick post this song but that was axed me Kendrick has a lot of hip hop power just being from Compton and the skill so a lot of ppl don’t want smoke
Shaqnokobe jay electronica and flipping RA need to drop more flipping music, they are some of rap's great technicians but they need to drop more projects.
Jay Electronica - Exhibit C He was one of the most praised newcomers in 07 and 08, the greatest hip hop artists ever called him the future of hip hop and everybody pushed him to release an album already and this song really shows why. Fantastic song
You should react to some of the responses to this! Big Krit- Mt olympus would be my top choice Also Lupe Fiasco - Mural (not a response to this but an incredible track)
Your reactions to Kendrick’s verse was all of us when this dropped. One of those moments where you throw your phone down and walk away in disbelief at the genius.
The thing is Kendrick didn't diss the people that he mentioned. He dissed the ones that he didnt.
woytec these are facts! I never thought of it like that lol
woytec for real tho Kendrick only pushed those dudes he mentioned even hard and that's part of why they are where they are at!
Curran Conradi I think you might be going a lil too far talking about he pushed them to go harder
But still Cree to Kendrick for those direct indirect bars
Poor Kanye
william hutchinson I mean I'm not trying to give Kdot ALL the credit but at the time Kendrick was still relatively unknown and he called out all dudes that were at the top (at the time) Kendrick defiantly made an impression on those dudes.
No one:
Johnny Sins: Ridiculous

imzul or vice city. Kendrick and jay rock went dumb hard
imzul they need to do this
Rigamortis for the flow
Or Black Lip Bastard by Black Hippy
for sure
You guys should use genius lyrics rather than lyric videos
Genius is made up of mostly 'stan-like' opinions.

Seconding this. The song that made me fall in love with KDOT.
Andrew Metcalf same lol gave me goosebumps

We are also brothers now

Loads of shite rappers reacted to it too.
CatchaDouble his Black Friday verse is better
2013 was not bubblegum era
this was definitely when Kendrick started being ranked among the goats of hip hop, especially since TPAB dropped not that long after the Control verse
Will the Saint I think TPAB dropped almost 2 years after this but don't quote me on that
Ab-Soul - The Book Of Soul

Book of soul made me fucking cry lol
Black fridayyyyyyyy???!!!!!! Kendrick and jcole greatnesss
Please do this!
Yeah 🙌🙌🙌
They need to do the originals first den the black Friday so they can see the difference

Dorian Johnson you're good lol

whyaskmenoely25 exhibit a and c are so well done he never had to release another song. It’s a shame he never really topped it
Insane lyricism. They should react to mf doom figaro

They aren’t ready for that yet

Now that you like this there are 3 tracks that you MUST do!!!! they are:
- That Part (Black Hippy Remix)
- 1 Train - ASAP Rocky ft like 5 other rappers (including Kendrick and Joey!!)
- Black Friday - J Cole and Kendrick - This is the hardest both of them have ever gone, it's insane, trust me.
That and rigamortis by kundrick
Would definitely not say it’s the hardest kendricks gone
BigJuice what would you say then? Control? The Blacker The Berry?
You're* maybe but those are very known. Maybe something more not known like mortal man
You're* Black Friday is definently up there. I had to give a it a relisten earlier and forgot how good it was.
ASAP ROCKY 1 train please
Irfan Arabi this is a must!
Big Krit best verse on 1 train! He goes stupid on it.
Yea, that would make an amazing video. A lot of good verse but my dude Krit spazzes on that one lol.
Irfan Arabi Yes!
hell yeah
Sean has an underrated verse and jay. They all went crazy
This verse literally shook the rap industry. Kendrick’s verse was trending on twitter for 10 days. It also motivated everyone who got name dropped to work harder and made them drop their best projects. Kendrick is the GOAT
Kevin Johns and the bigger diss was to those who didn’t get name dropped
Not really people still put out of their work regardless. Not one rapper says that this affected their work. This only had impact because in this era of friendliness, kendrick called out alot of his peers and none of them had the guts to do it at that time.

G K I remember Tyga said this verse motivated him to work harder. 😂
8:17 for future reference a song like this is called a posse cut, where it's several rappers just trying to have the best verse among all the other rappers in the song
By the way it's not his best but an important verse
True that. I remember hearing this and literally putting my headphones down and saying he is the best rapper and pointed at my ghetto ass tablet. Knowing rap had returned I went and bought born sinner. Let's just say my life as a trailer park kid into a house buying adult was inspired by this one verse.

This is the first time I’m hearing Jays verse. Kendrick went so hard on this song his verse didn’t matter to me honestly
Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole - Black Friday
David White yeaaaa
Yes
Sean is so underrated and overhated it hurts.
"What is competition, I'm tryna raise the bar high"
is probably the best summary to pick one line for what Kendrick was doing.

one of y'all best reviews. Keep it up
Jay Electronica - Exhibit C
Lupe Fiasco - Mural
K.A.A.N - Kaancepts or Rap God remix
Kendrick Lamar u one of his best songs and nobody has ever reacted to it
Exhibit C by Jay Electronica is great
Joe W so underrated
FUUUCK YES.
Joe W classic song
I loooost it when they started loving the Big Sean verse like damn, Kendrick is gonna peel their faces off!
JID - NEVER please
1:57 "Flow special like an infants DEATH"
i heard that shit too! 😭😭😭
This is among his best verses, he got better verses tho... as scary as that sounds 😂😂😂
But this verse is for sure his most controversial
Cala Bunga I'd say his last verse on The Blacker The Berry is more controversial.
Sometimes, I feel like nobody is listening words anymore, only what they want to hear !
There is no controversy in this particular part of the kendrick verde. All this part talks about is LOVE, RESPECT and COMPETITION SPIRIT as part of hip hop DNA.
Kendrick estimates them at least as equal. Like sport, you need to compete with the best players to be the best. He loves the game, he loves to play and he loves his comrades but in the end, they are all rap game opponents.
No diss, just love, respect and competition.
Not the way I think but understandable as hip hop fan.
By the way, I love the way how you're listening music. Keep it up guys !
u by Kendrick or Black Friday by both Kendrick and J Cole which rap on each others beats.
Especially u. that's one of the most artistic songs I have ever heard.
Jesus Christ what you doin on youtube, you didn’t get my voice message??
Tbh Cole's version of Alright was decent (not as good as the original tho) but Kendrick destroyed AT2C beat
Jay electronica and big seans verse are so underrated since they didnt spit out peoples name its a shame
Its not just the flow cause Kendricks verse was better, but J and Sean didnt get washed like everybody says... all 3 verses are hard af.
*its not just the names
Spot on homie, especially that of jay electronics...
Lyrically & poetically Jay Electronica’s verse was as good or maybe even better than Kendrick’s tbh
Nah Jay Electronica got washed, especially in terms of delivery by both Big Sean and Kendrick. Everyone skips that last verse lol
Lupe Fiasco - Mural
Best 7 min track and one of the best tracks of all time
not even a Lupe fan and I can't disagree with this, Mural is ridiculous
So many bars I don't think they would be ready lol. definitely would need the lyrics up.. even then they probably would not appreciate the greatness of that track.
They need to do this track, it would open up a whole new world of rap for them
They aren't ready for mural yet give them more time
dadorage haha they not ready but I definitely think they'd appreciate the greatness, but with the lyrics up probably. They appreciate anything that's good I'd honestly be surprised if they didn't
KENDRICK LAMAR & J COLE - *BLACK FRIDAY*
these guys are lit 🔥
Jon P. The word lit ain't finna be "lit" no more 😂
chill we gotta keep it alive ! 😂
The reason Kendricks verse on on this was so iconic was because there has always been beef between west coast hiphop and east coast and Kendrick, from LA, said he was king of New york, ("I juggle em both").

Black Friday is Kendricks best
PLEASE REACT to DJ Khaled, Kendrick Lamar, Big Sean- "HOLY KEY". Bars all over that especially Kendrick.🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Have to tell ever considered doing a suggestion swap with Lost in Vegas. You suggest Metal and Rock songs, and they can suggest some Rap and Hip-hop?
Antonio Williams this is a solid creative suggestion
Dope idea
Seeing Simon Miller from the wrestling world do reactions to hip hop is absolutely GENIUS!!!! Simon Miller my friend i adore youre life!!!!
OKAY!!!!!! You guys have grown so much. Now you guys have the rap knod when you hear fire!
I can't recall the exact video but Simon makes the nasty beat stinkface too.
I always thought Jay Electronica's Verse was underrated it might be my favorite of this song
Probably better than Kendrick’s 💯
I def wouldn't call it his all time verse but it was one of his most impactful and sent shockwaves through the industry.
I'm so happy I came across this channel. This is the closest I'll get to hearing hip hop for the first time. Its refreshing.
Jay Electronica is the most underrated flame spitter ever to exist
nah hes in no way underrated, if anything Jay electronica is overrated. I've met people who have him in their best rappers list when the dude doesn't have a single project out. Jay electronica frustrates the hell out of me because hes ridiculously talented as a rapper but for whatever reason refuses to put out more songs
Trevour preach! Spot on
Facts, too bad he's fucking crazy 😂😂
@@trevorsham cuz he doesn’t care about rap, he knows he has all the talent but doesn’t care
Another song from Big Sean, which displays his abilities, is Paradise. Enjoying the content, guys!
i remember when this dropped it was like the world stood still the entire Rap community was in shock. B.O.B dissed him, Lupe Fiasco dissed him, Joe budden was jealous he wasn't on the list lmfao hella ppl felt a way.
I've also said fuck off while listening to Kendrick... His lyrics are immense
J Cole responds to this song on his verse on the TKO remix with Pusha T, ASAP Rocky, and Justin Timberlake! You guys should check it out!
The blacker the berry - Kendrick Lamar
Jay electronica uses lots of biblical references that aren't obvious look on genius it's pretty interesting
Nothings been the same since they dropped control
THIS is why we love Kendrick Simon
To be Seen really this is your favourite side of Kendrick not the Keisha song, sing about, u, storytelling Kendrick?
Isaiah Mc Intosh This is my favorite Kendrick too.
I died when he said “dissss trackkkk”
Check out Danny Brown - Really Doe feat. Ab-soul, Kendrick Lamar, and Earl Sweatshirt
ChoiceBandChansey earl is going to have them shook in this one.
this
you are one of the best on youtube right now
Been waiting on this one for a while, looking forward to the reaction and im so looking forward to you doing some more Joey Badass.
I also highly recommend Lupe Fiasco - Mural, its arguably lyrically one of the best rap songs ever.
Also Jay Electronica - Exhibit C, one of the best rap verses of all time in my opinion.
Edit: After realising you have the lyrics on screen for this song, you need the lyrics on screen for both songs
PLEASE MURAL
I think Mural might actually break them
I would say Dumb It Down before they dive into the lava pit that is Mural.. Either way they'll probably be mindfucked for a month trying to figure out what's going on...
Nugs McDankerson Mural is a song you need to actively listen to, to even have a hope at understanding most of the bars. Its actually just nice to listen too because of the rhymes
1:58 "flow special like a infants first death", shit just caught me off guard
+Rock React jay electronica was one of the most anticipated hiphop artists of all time if not the most, his writing abilities had people like jay z ,nas and even T.I co signing him over the years but then he went on hiatus and never released his album, you should maybe listen to his song exhibit c, its legendary. also kendricks voice on this song is so grimy i'm glad simon didn't recognize it at first cause it's so different from his other voices, its the old freestyle section 80 kendrick type of voice :).
Fl4me5_ AZ Jay Electronica is really a LEGEND, still waiting for his album. Rockreacts HAVE TO REACT TO HIM
An underrated thing about this song is that Sean got Kendrick's verse back and still decided to release it even though he knew what people would say.
KENDRICK LAMAR- ALRIGH/KING KUNTA/HOW MUCH A DOLLAR COST/THESE WALLS
Kendrick Lamar - Rigamortus is one the all-time greatest displays of prowess by a rapper.
big sean can rap 1st quarter freestyle
No favours
Who's stopping me
Paradise
Many more but for now.
Irfan Arabi he can rap but for some reason he can never avoid giving corny ass bars
Eloy Urbina All rappers give corny bars, but since people specifically point out Big Sean for having corny bars, they’re watching for the corny bars. It’s like when someone points out a “flaw” about someone and now you can’t unsee it. Now every time you see that person, that’s all you see.
BroImLeandre I don’t think that’s the case yes all rappers have corny bars we can literally have a contest and show side by side him to say Kendrick and he will have many more bad lines
Eloy Urbina I’m sure you feel that way, but I disagree.
Eloy Urbina na the old big sean had a lot of shity bars the new and improved version I don't think so well imo.
In 1 week this has became my favourite channel on TH-cam. Absolutely smashing it guys!!!
Please react to some Tyler the Creator, you will love Who Dat Boy
Jay Electronica is from New Orleans, Louisiana (aka The Magnolia). He has long been acknowledged by many hip hop fans as one of the top lyricists even though he has never released an official album.
React to Jay Electronica "EXHIBIT C"
That little, "Lost In Vegas" shout out. Glad we all eventually connect
React to MF DOOM (Accordion, All caps and Beef rap are some of my recommendations). I will comment this every vid until they do.
You do realize MF Doom is gonna fly over their heads?
Syed Ayaan true same thing I said with earl's better music. Imagine if they tried Aesop, or even black thought they won't get any of the references by any barely esoteric artists. Guys like Andre, rakim, redman,nas, elzhi, ra rugged man will be more up their ally when it comes to lyricists.
Nah man they'd appreciate DOOM's flow. His wordplay is unparalleled.
Needless Moose we agree DOOM is incredible but will they enjoy or understand anything without a genius explanation, maybe not. That's not a dig DOOM isn't the type of artist to listenti once and get everything I just don't think they will find any reason to hook into his work, more likely they will default cop out to "I can tell what he does with words is incredible but its not for me." I am sure simon won't like any of the beats either.
Isaiah Mc Intosh I mean yeah it took me like 100 listens to catch every little thing in Accordion it would still be interesting to see what they think of Doom I think.
"Draw a line around some Earth and put my name on the plot / 'Cause I endured alot of pain for everything that I got"
To this day those bars give me chills.
Now that youve done one of your most requested can you please react to kendrick lamar and j cole - black friday. Not an iconic moment by any means but they both released songs called black friday where cole raps over one of kendricks most famous beats and kendrick raps over one of coles most famous beats. Kendrick easily has the better black friday imo but you should listen to them both in the same episode to be able to compare them directly
Watching these Rock Reacts makes me realize that Hip Hop heads are really hard to impress.
Please check out Holy Key with Kendrick and Big Sean!
You guys need to hear DJ Khalid- Holy Key. Big Sean and Kendrick go bar for the bar it's insane they have an ongoing feud that just magnifies every track they're on together.
You guys are the best!!! DO DEATH GRIPS!!!
Tomas Manriquez
Yes! People are always requesting Kendrick songs (or songs featuring him), but they should switch it up with something more experimental.
It would be ideal for them considering they like more aggressive rap it seems and do come from a metal background!
DEATH GRIPS WHEN
Wow! Literally asked for this on the last video and this is the next thing they uploaded! Incredible, you guys are great!
Jay electronica is a weird story in hip hop considered one of the greats but never realesed music at one point he dissed Kendrick post this song but that was axed me Kendrick has a lot of hip hop power just being from Compton and the skill so a lot of ppl don’t want smoke
Shaqnokobe jay electronica and flipping RA need to drop more flipping music, they are some of rap's great technicians but they need to drop more projects.
Jay Electricity, PBS mysteries, in a lofty place tangling with Satan over history 🔥🔥
Salva E J Electronica was best on this track imo
Do detroit vs everybody
prestontv THIS THIS THIS
Big Sean slaughters that and you know Em did his thing
This was such a good time for hip hop Twitter, what a time to be alive
Listen to Exhibit C by Jay Electronica, a lot of people consider it to be one of the GOAT tracks in rap.
WHOEVER requested this song is a BLESSING
Definitely not his best verse but it is a legendary verse
That song still gives me chills
check out these tracks from what I consider Big Sean's most underrated Project. The "Detroit" mixtape.
HIGHER, 24K GOLD FT. COLE, HOW IT FEEL
Jay Electronica - Exhibit C
He was one of the most praised newcomers in 07 and 08, the greatest hip hop artists ever called him the future of hip hop and everybody pushed him to release an album already and this song really shows why. Fantastic song
Kendrick Lamar and JCole- BLACK FRIDAY!!!
Love that you guys mentioned lost in Vegas literally think of them as your American counterpart top 2 reaction channels
You should react to some of the responses to this!
Big Krit- Mt olympus would be my top choice
Also Lupe Fiasco - Mural (not a response to this but an incredible track)
Your reactions to Kendrick’s verse was all of us when this dropped. One of those moments where you throw your phone down and walk away in disbelief at the genius.
