ROYGBIV is also the order of the colors he talks about in the first few bars. Each color he mentions is just a little further down the color spectrum. Dude is one like 9 levels at all times. He literally moves from the longest wavelengths to the shortest wavelengths of light on the song.
Another note! ROY G BIV is an acronym for the colors of the rainbow, Red.Orange.Yellow. Green. Blue.Indigo.Violet. Also, Black Lights are used in criminal investigations to reveal clues (typically blood or bodily fluids) or things that arent available to the naked eye. So that also plays into the black lights bar because when the black lights come out we all have flaws that we dont show people and that we keep hidden. Amazing video and analysis!
This might be a stretch. But they used to use black lights in hotels that had White bed sheets and pillow cases to show how dirty the were even though they appeared to be white and clean. Potentially a comment on white people saying there not perfect and innocent.
Roygbiv was coined after a science experiment to show the behaviour white light when it passes through a glass prism. White light split into Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet, hence ROYGBIV. Jenkins plays on this for the title of the song
I've listened to this album at least once a day since it came out. I'm still not tired of it. There's so much content packed into the lyrics and the instrumentals are so interesting that I'm getting extra bits each time i listen. Really hope this album gains Mick some higher accolades because he really deserves some recognition.
This song is incredible. My favorite on the album for sure. You guys should check out Pasta from the album as well, its more aggressive and the bars are on 100 as you'd expect from Mick
Great video gentlemen, been loving Mick's music and there's so much depth to it. Always appreciate the insight from George and Ryan as to life implications from lyrics, quality breakdowns bring me back to this channel when I see music I've been listening to in the title
ROYGBIV can also be viewed as an acronym for the sequence of hues commonly described as making up a rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Brilliant views once again from you guys
tons of bangers on this album. pasta, mop, sitting ducks, farm to table, damn near the whole album p much lol edit: roy g biv is actually an acronym used to remember colors of the rainbow. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
A great album released in an absolute drought of a year. Also think he can pull off concept songs like this in a way that isn’t corny. Some “more popular” artists attempt to do it and fail.
I laughed after that incredible breakdown of the last verse and then George doesn’t know Roy G Biv 🤣 but seriously everytime I see how these guys are able to break down lyrics i’m amazed, been watching for what feels like 8 years and very thankful for these guys
The initials of the title being RGB is also a play on colours... all colours that visible to the human eye are derived from RED, GREEN & BLUE (especially when it comes to digital screens). Painter derive from RED, BLUE & YELLOW when painting though.
My only issue with this album is I wish it was longer. 28 mins is an EP to me, but still very creative and cool. Just heard it today actually, love your breakdown. Also realize that I don't comment on the channel enough and share enough with people so I'll definitely do both more often moving forward. It was great finding two men who look like me and are more experienced than I am five years ago when I first found this channel
One thing y'all missed is the fact that Mick was born in Huntsville Alabama and went back there briefly when he attended Alabama A&M. Great breakdown though as usual.
Everything Mick does is so far ahead of his peers. It's pretty crazy to think he is this good and this unknown. Greatness doesn't always get noticed. Take that into mind when you are pursuing you rown passions.
Please please please do more Mick Jenkins. Not enough REAL hip hop heads break down Mick on TH-cam. Yall one of the best to do it and it's how I found yall tbh. I love y'all channel 💪❤️
I highly recommend yall to peep K-Rino only reason he hasnt blown up is because he didnt want to sign a record deal but hes a tripple OG in the underground.
YESS dope choice you two! I hope you look into pasta i think its the best track on the project! Man this project in general is maybe my favorite of micks. Really came through
What he meant btw by the black lights come out and see that we all stained is a double or triple entendre, When you shine a black light on white peoples skin, we're covered in so many freckles that we look black, literally. But to the naked eye you don't see the freckles, that also plays into your character, everyone has fault, you also need blacklight to see blood on peoples hands no?
The “Bluefaces and jaded eyes” is also a play on the rapper BlueFace, whose first baby mama name is Jaden, and on social media, people presumed to say she was jealous of his relationship with former gf Chrisean Rock.
Love the insight on this song, yall elaborated vividly and quite clearly. At first I was wishing that there was a reaction to Michelin Star,Smoke Break (Dance) and/or Sitting Ducks instead of this track but I was impressed by the dissection, and hadn't listened closely enough to peep what was mentioned. Now I we have to see a noname reaction THE J.COLE KILLER!!!🕺🏿
@jordanlee5594 noname and j.cole had a misunderstanding,therefore prompting them to make songs that can be seen as "diss tracks." Allas both fight for the greater good, just with different approaches and perceptions (similar to debates or disagreements between W.E.B Dubois & Booker T. Washington or Malcolm X & Dr. King, ).
This whole albums is fire. Definitely one of the better ones this year for hip hop
Pasta is my favorite track.
@@K1NG931fire mines either that one or Michelin star or farm to table 🔥🔥 too many lit tracks
Holy shit I’m late af but I 1000% agree this shit is crazy
@@K1NG931mop is mine

Y’all would love Mick’s song “Smoke Break-Dance” featuring JID off his new album. They both killed it on there.
I listen to that song at least 3-5 times whenever it pops up in the rotation lol

They should do roygbiv by boards of canada
Also RGB as in Red Green Blue which are the basic colors on our screens. Everything we see is a mixture of these 3 colors
🔥🔥🤯 holy shiiiiit
This might be a stretch. But they used to use black lights in hotels that had White bed sheets and pillow cases to show how dirty the were even though they appeared to be white and clean. Potentially a comment on white people saying there not perfect and innocent.
ROYGBIV is called the color wheel. :) Not necessarily the rainbow as the rainbow could be a lot of different combos.
This album deserves a grammy. We definitely need more reactions videos from this album. Its crazy!
Genius level writing and concepts from mick like usual
This is so good. Greatness indeed.
Your channel is fantastic! I love what you do!
I see Mick Jenkins in the title and its an automatic like !!! Keep it coming with the Mick reactions!
Brilliant analysis!
Yessss been waiting for you guys !! Long live mick . 😎

So glad yall got to this! The minute I heard it, I knew you guys would enjoy it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Been waiting on this! Found Mick Jenkins from this channel years ago and been a massive fan since!
This song is incredible. My favorite on the album for sure. You guys should check out Pasta from the album as well, its more aggressive and the bars are on 100 as you'd expect from Mick
We need all the Mick Jenkins!
Been waiting on this! Whole album is fire, Mick is making a case for best rapper out today IMO
The Auburn/"Roll Tide" line is actually 2 college football rivals: AUBURN University and the U of Alabama CRIMSON Tide. Bonus colors.
Mick is brilliant. Great reaction as usual!

This track is the vibe that I Iike the most, it takes me back to the *WATERS* album 🔥🔥🔥
Probably Micks best work. Elite lyricism as always but with a new hunger that idk if I’ve heard from him.
He sounds mad as hell in this album😂
@@the21611 real shit bro, every time I listen to Pasta he got me ready to run thru a wall 😂
WOW! This dude is different. Definitely checking out his catalog. His pen is HEAVY!
Great video guys you outdid yourselves with this one. Great breakdown.
Mick is brilliant, y'all did a great job in vid this guy's 🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥 I’m here for anything mick Jenkins
Been looking forward to a Mick Jenkins reaction! TY
This album up there for album of the year. Amazing to see where Mick has gone with his art over the years. True artist
I feel like Mick's writing style feels more close to rock than rap with continuous thought throughout the track. His style always feels refreshing
Roy G. Biv stands for Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet, its the colors of the rainbow
I think they know that
@@NaawG bro didnt watch the video lol
Thank you guys finally this album is crazy
Been looking forward to your take on this project King. Love it🙏🙏
This is what I wanted to see y'all react to please more from the album 🔥🔥🔥
Roy G Biv stands for the rainbow
Red orange yellow green blue indigo violet
tons of bangers on this album. pasta, mop, sitting ducks, farm to table, damn near the whole album p much lol
edit: roy g biv is actually an acronym used to remember colors of the rainbow. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
Mick is needed in the game for real
Please do "show and tell" off the album! Grimy beat and fire lyrics. One of my favorites for sure.
A great album released in an absolute drought of a year.
Also think he can pull off concept songs like this in a way that isn’t corny. Some “more popular” artists attempt to do it and fail.
This guy is dope I have to check out his album quick fast!!!
I laughed after that incredible breakdown of the last verse and then George doesn’t know Roy G Biv 🤣 but seriously everytime I see how these guys are able to break down lyrics i’m amazed, been watching for what feels like 8 years and very thankful for these guys

Waiting on the Mick Jenkins reaction 🔥 love the album
This album is on POINT!!! Mick so slept on 😞
one of my albums of the year, great review
ROY G BIV is an acronym for the colors of the rainbow 🌈
Easy aoty contender from Mick!
We need more Mick on this Channel 🙏🏿

that’s funny bc that’s exactly what i said. great album but some of the songs would be way better if they were longer.
@@connor_weggy I was heated when some of them ended hahaha. I was like ah come on that's it? Lol
Roy G. Biv is also an acronym for the colors of the rainbow.
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet
What's incredible to me.....is the commitment FOR YEARS to the exact same intro. That's not a dig, it's actually incredible. 😂😂
Give my man his flowers woooh💥💥
Its been a great year for hip hop
Roy G. Biv also stands for the rainbow. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
Please do the whole album 🔥🔥🔥 pasta is so fire as well
THANK YOU
First verse is referring to Malcolm X, who used to be known as Red prior to becoming a public figure.
Plz do more of this album the production is on point and Michelin star is my personal fav
One thing y'all missed is the fact that Mick was born in Huntsville Alabama and went back there briefly when he attended Alabama A&M. Great breakdown though as usual.
Love mick!!
Yezzir! Mick! 🔥🔥🔥👌🏾
also think the oversaturate -> blue faces line might be a reference to brockhampton saturation albums with the blue faces on the covers
Album is 🔥🔥. Definitely recommend Show & Tell or Pasta
Everything Mick does is so far ahead of his peers.
It's pretty crazy to think he is this good and this unknown. Greatness doesn't always get noticed. Take that into mind when you are pursuing you rown passions.
Missed that Yellowcard reference 😉 great song, reaction and breakdown
The grey area bar is also a reference to his track with Kaytranada. Crazy tune.
Please please please do more Mick Jenkins. Not enough REAL hip hop heads break down Mick on TH-cam. Yall one of the best to do it and it's how I found yall tbh. I love y'all channel 💪❤️
100% Mick Jenkins is your favorite rappers favorite rapper.
You guys make me listen to music different 😂😂
Amazing breakdown to help us gain more understanding , please do Pasta or the Freddie Gibbs one
this was dope man. you guys are amazing, please do Michelin Star, Mop or Smoke Break next if possible.
WHOLE ALBUM REVIEW PLEASE
Do the whole albummmmmmmmmmmmm!
More Mick Jenkins please
I highly recommend yall to peep K-Rino
only reason he hasnt blown up is because he didnt want to sign a record deal but hes a tripple OG in the underground.
The blueface/jaded in reference to blueface and his bm jade was slick
Keep reacting to him
YALL GOTTA LISTEN TO SITTING DUCKS ON THAT ALBUM!!!!!!
Alabama called the CRIMSON tide another shade of red
The University of Alabama says "ROLL TIDE.... Auburn University says "WAR EAGLE".
YESS dope choice you two! I hope you look into pasta i think its the best track on the project! Man this project in general is maybe my favorite of micks. Really came through
I know this video ain’t getting the views but seeing you guys react to pasta or literally anything on the album would be fiiiiiire
Yup Guys are missing the new actual reactions. Half of us came here bc of that
Gotta do “sitting ducks” next!!!
I just had to tune in to see if this was going to be some weird cover of the They Might Be Giants song. haha.
What he meant btw by the black lights come out and see that we all stained is a double or triple entendre, When you shine a black light on white peoples skin, we're covered in so many freckles that we look black, literally.

***Not sure if people remember. Roy G Biv was an acronym used to remember the order of the colors of the rainbow***
Blue face in jada eyes omg 😱
Guapanese and smoke break dance are some good choices as well.
The new noname album has some joints.
Roy G Biv
RGB
Red Green Blue
Please react to more songs from this album.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Been saying Mick is a great artist
Would appreciate it if y’all would do the another two or three tracks in the album
MOP MOP MOP MOP MOP MOP!!!!
The “Bluefaces and jaded eyes” is also a play on the rapper BlueFace, whose first baby mama name is Jaden, and on social media, people presumed to say she was jealous of his relationship with former gf Chrisean Rock.
Lmao..no...

👏
Colors by Elzhi is another good song that uses color rhyme schemes.
Pasta should have been first request, but who cares. Whole album fire!!
Damn I saw mick and thought this was the new Nick grant freestyle
Been checking constantly for that one!!
