I don’t know anyone as good as him especially for his age. He’s finally getting that level of appreciation. Not many can do bars , rap with a message and tell stories like he does
Dave is currently and has been the best lyricist in the world without a doubt in my mind, mans only 22 and has been doing this since he was 16. His story is another thing if people don’t know about it he had two older brothers one died in a knife crime and the other got sentenced to life in prison in involvement in a murder, his father was deported back to Nigeria when he was only a few months old and his mum was the only one providing for the family but working a shitty paid job as a nurse. People with darker stories end up more amazing No one give up hope ❤️
@@erenrathe4293 It’s just not that deep, there’s no need to compare dick sizes on who knows more about Dave; his point was that he’s the best lyricist atm

@@JaymesForte just leave him alone ive seen him on every vid bout dave and hes swearing that dave is awful but spends all of his time on watching vids bout dave hes rlly obsessed with him
"Can I illustrate what Streatham is? Then break the 4th wall and base Leslie on my relatives?" That whole song is fire, so many good call backs, "I didn't get 99 on my English test, I was faking it, I got 98 cos I don't know what a vacation is"
@@DGTLCLANGAMING I got 99/100 marks in class on my English questions, I’d get the same if I did it again cause I still don’t know the definition of resting
@@jackshevlin3228 You could write an essay about those two bars. How the first time you hear him say he got 99 marks you think he's bragging about how good he is with words, then he flips it to be about how hard he works and then he calls back to it at the end of the album and when he says he didn't get 99 you think he's revealing the truth, admitting he made it up so the bar sounds good but instead he reveals that its because he doesn't understand what a vacation is, which links back to the not being able to rest and to write all of that so that it rhymes but have it only make sense if you've heard the prior song is just some next level wordsmithery from Dave
Dave is so good bro but get yourself on DMX, the man was a movement and had such a strong message. I recommend songs like Damien, The Convo, Slippin, Let Me Fly, Ready to Meet Him and so many more. The story telling is incredible
@@jacobdykes8827 let me know when kendrick got the same workrate as this guy, he been on the scence since hes 16 and even back then people knew he was going to be one of the greats lmao
One of the messed up parts is Hannah didn't even save her #. He said a few missed calls from Jason and numbers so they thought it was no help until they checked the voicemail
@@jasonteneyuque9364 it took me a few listens till I caught it. But I thought it was ruthless cause it showed Hannah never cared for Lesley her "friend."
So happy you reacted to this. Dave is a rare breed of rapper. People don’t understand how many hours and how much effort goes into putting together such a masterpiece like this. You should react to more Dave - Environment is a good song lyrically. Also there’s a mini series by GIGGS called the essence, about gang culture in the uk, around 25 minutes long.
I still can’t believe he ain’t listening to J hus, I’ve told him to react to it so many times. Had 200+ 300+ likes on the comment like 4 times, making it the top comment, yet he still doesn’t react. I think it’s clear this dude doesn’t read his comments any more, he actually reacted to JME when I told him to react to that.
If you listen to the full album in one of the songs after Leslie in the track list, he says something about breaking the 4th wall and basing Leslie on his relative.. basically the girl in the song is a family member and in screenplay/storytelling there’s something called the 4th wall where you relate your personal story to the story your telling ( something along those line don’t hate me if I’m not 100% accurate) Just makes the song and album that much better 💯🔥
Dave says Lesley is a story about his relatives. He really is incredible, it’s an amazing talent to have your words carry so much weight like he does on this and Black. He is on the level of J Cole, Kendrick , Drake and them
this song always makes me sad. it's so sad people go through this. men & women. my heart goes out to y'all. i just wanna hug lesley & everyone who goes through this.
Homie the first time I listened to this song I literally had goosebumps and the hairs were standing. Dave just has a way of story telling that is unmatched
The best lyricist in the world nobody can convince me differently I understand where Americans come from because they can’t understand some of Daves uk slang in his lyrics but those who understand them feel it so deep it’s overwhelming
Been waiting for ever for any of the reactors i watch to react to this masterpiece, Didnt even watch the vidoe yet, Had to comment first thats how hyped i am.
I woud belive that the story about Lesley is real since Dave mentioned her again at the last track of the album "Drama". The line where he mentioned Lesley went like this. "Then break the fourth wall and base Lesley on my relatives?"
Dave is the best current rapper, and he earned that title with We're All Alone In This Together. Truly an incredible album, as a hip-hop head I think it has an argument for the top 10 rap albums of all time. Certainly the best rap album since To Pimp A Butterfly, and the craziest thing is that Dave is nowhere near done. I have no doubt that by the end of his career, Dave will be a top 10 rapper of all time, and we have to recognize the generational talent that is in front of us the same way we did with Kendrick and Eminem in years past.
I’m glad this video popped up, sometimes people never know what’s going on in other people’s lives. It’s just story telling, yet story telling could be real life. This story reaches everyone. Inspires people to be better.
Shows how talented this guy is. The guy in the chat "goose" one of the mods i think wasn't fucking with it at the start then near the end of the song hes fucking with the message, the tune and the accent dave top 10 in the world rn
the crazy thing about this is that lesley is daves mother. because in heart attack he said: I was in intensive care when I was born, mummy fell down the stairs that was a lie to cover the fact that somebody abused her and later on in drama he said: break the fourth wall and base Lesley on my relatives. that shit crazyyyyyy
Look They say the universe, it works in a strange way And it must be true because, we ain't from the same background or same place But me and Lesley ended up on that same train I'm talking everyday, I used to wake up around seven or eight To catch the 906 from Norbury Station Two different worlds in the same location and One day we ended up speaking And I would talk about college, she would talk about meetings And how she's planning on leaving How she hates what she does but she needs it I asked her what she was doing, it's the weekend And she said, she said I don't know myself I don't know myself no more She used to be the life of the party for true And now she going out hardly ever Her man got her in the yard forever And her friends wanna help but it's hard to tell her Hard to let her know that her man's possessive and aggressive And she can't even see it, but for them it's clear as day, she's in a situation Her friend Hannah had a man that was manipulative So, she could see it from a mile off Turtleneck jumpers, makeup around the eye spots All the signs were there But Lesley made it seem a light affair Said it wasn't right to share Her boyfriend, he was a mystery man I didn't know much about him, but he's been in the can Name's Jason, he's a bad boy with no reasoning To be honest, I don't know what Les' sees in him 'Cause she's a good girl with a sweet heart But they've both got demons and a deep past You know opposites attract, apparently I never heard her talk about her family ever, uh-uh He was all that she had Until they had an argument and he stopped calling her back And I don't know if there was more to the story than that 'Cause she plays things down but according to that He went missing one day in the morning he ran She's doing overtime, struggling affording the flat 'Til she, lost her job it fucked all of her plans Couldn't pay the rent, borrowing and calling for cash But Hannah she was there for her, cared for her When I saw Les' she told me I don't know myself I don't know myself no more Les' saying, "I got nothing to live for It's been raw, but David, I ain't never been this poor There's no income, my boyfriend left me So how the fuck am I going to survive when this kid's born?" I said, "It's a blessing as mad as it is And Les', I never even knew you were having a kid" Bro, she's four months pregnant, young and neglected Single but I don't think she wants to accept it So she's still texting ex's trying to get this Back on track but I don't think that she gets it It's emotional obsession, clinical depression Life is a lesson And you ain't got to sit and cry And Lesley, living in this gift called life There's no better gift than the gift of life So, can you handle it? I don't know myself I don't know myself no more But that changed her perspective Late in December, her baby's expected to drop She's accepted, excited, electric, pumped Only got to wait a few months Her and Hannah had lunch Told her she's pregnant And they're the closest of bredrins So she didn't stunt to tell her, I think that it's an error You ain't a mum for a day, you're a mum forever Whatever, and you and Jason break up whenever If I'm honest that's something you should have done together She doesn't know that her and Jason are going out again And Jason doesn't know that Lesley's carrying a child for them She had daydreams of settling down with Jason, better 'cause now they're together it's wild Feeling like she needs to call her friends and tell 'em 'Cause while she's letting him down but most of them are never around She calls Hannah the next day Still tryna figure out the best way to tell her that she's getting back together with an ex-flame So she left her a voicemail Like "Yo Hannah, it's Les' can you call me back? I wanna talk about the baby, you, me, Jason, all of that I've been feeling like I need to get my aura back I used to be so fucking confident But these days, I swear that-" I don't know my self I don't know myself no more It's 3:30 Lesley was meant to get a scan But today I think she's going home early Tryna talk to Jason, tell him 'bout the kid Addressing any reservations Have that conversation Middle of the summer and it's raining Waiting at the train station Hella cancellations So she gets a taxi, sitting in a backseat Blue jean jacket and a maxi Actually, tired and her legs are aching Touched the destination Way faster than the cab driver's estimation She put the key in the door She, couldn't believe what she see on the floor Some size five trainers, raging Tears in her eyes, but it's cool 'cause they must be the neighbors And Jason's in the bedroom fully naked Lesley running up the stairs but she's making noise And she can hear Jason's voice Saying "Hide in the closet" But he's made his choice So, she bursts in saying "What kind of person would cheat on his pregnant girlfriend?" Jason, saying "What the fuck, you're pregnant? What the fuck? You weren't even gonna tell me, I mean what the fuck? What do you want from us? Nah, you ain't in love, you just wanna love" Lesley telling Jason, "I don't wanna love I don't want a you and I, I don't want an us And also, I don't wanna talk loads One more line before I dash like Morse code" Open the wardrobe And Jason's on the edge "I just wanna see if she was prettier than me, slimmer than me Maybe your baby's similar to me Maybe you wanted someone thicker than me, fitter than me To satisfy you quicker than me I got your baby in my stomach and you did this to me What did I ever do to you for you to finish with me? I didn't believe my girls but they were thinking of me And give it to me, the wardrobe, give me the key" I was pulling up the door but Jason's bigger than me Literally, I remember viscerally Jason pulling from behind me now he's gripping on me White flashes, eye gashes, when he's hitting me, see I just wanted to disappear I wasn't living for me Physically I shut the fucking doors quick as can be He's outside asking why I made him do what he did Using a kick to open up the room that I'm in I'm feeling afraid, barricaded, with a chair in the handle I'm hearing sirens but I just wanna run away but I can't Jason's gone by the time police are comin' They saw that ain't no one else in the house And feds are running through the door shouting "We have reports of an argument with a woman" There's blood all over the floor and it's splattered onto the wall Lesley's on the bed and she's tryna speak to the feds She's deep in the stress and his meter's above her head If anything, she couldn't even say anything But she's got this really sharp pain where her belly is So, they call an ambulance, Lesley didn't plan for this Police are in the room tryna find the missing piece of the puzzle Until they stumble on something that's kind of random It's a phone in the wardrobe They had five missed phone calls from Jason and also a couple other numbers So they thinking that it's no help Until they play the voicemail like "Yo Hannah, it's Les' can you call me back? I wanna talk about the baby, you, me, Jason, all of that I've been feeling like I need to get my aura back I used to be so fucking confident But these days, I swear that-" I don't know my self I don't know myself no more She felt sick to her stomach, she started panicking Mind rattling, tryna understand what Hannah did Battling the shame 'cause the situation embarrassing She's tryna fathom it betrayed by her own garrison Meanwhile, she's on the bed tryna manage this Piercing pain in the stomach, she couldn't handle it Now she's waiting for an ambulance Yeah And I know she's strong, but when I heard about what happened I was over-shocked Her nose was gone, her jaw line shattered and rocked They said her baby was the reason she was holding on She dozing off, doctors getting no response Her heart rate slowing down and they don't know what's wrong Picked her up, got her out the home and onto the stretcher for good measure But she fading out, oh She took damage to the brain and now she's in a coma as we speak But I ain't sure if she can make it out You see this time that I'm taking out to tell you the story is more than a song or track It's a message to a woman with a toxic man I'm begging you to get support if you're lost or trapped I understand that I can never understand And I ain't saying that it's easy but it must be right Some of your sisters, aunties, mums or wives Are fucked aside and they will never touch on why I'm touched 'cause I've seen women that I love though like- Cry little red tears through a bloodshot eye This shit's awful, no matter what culture it ain't normal Men try and twist it, make it seem like it's your fault In that train full of people that you're taking How many Lesley's are running from their Jasons? Angel without wings Like the day without the night to bring her peace A song without a voice A spark without a flame A child without a name Oh, it's just wrong Like an ocean without a shore A soldier without a war How can we do this anymore? A song without a voice A spark without a flame A child without a name Oh, it's just wrong Well, we've made a massive amount of progress in this last year, haven't we? Feels like a long journey And I must say it's been a pleasure, to watch you mature and grow in thought And in your career and life You've opened up immensely I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't miss these sessions But you know, you can never stop learning about yourself So you're always welcome I'm just happy you're at a place now where you feel you understand your emotions And are in control

Amazing reaction. Hits home that tune every time! Don’t forget about us in the UK bro!!⛽️⛽️
Dave the most versatile rapper today.
Lesley is based on one of Dave's relatives, super deep.
the crazy thing about this is that lesley is daves mother. because in heart attack he said:
I was in intensive care when I was born, mummy fell down the stairs
that was a lie to cover the fact that somebody abused her
and later on in drama he said:
break the fourth wall and base Lesley on my relatives.
that shit crazyyyyyy
It's not his mother. Lesley died, his mother is alive. Voicemails weren't a thing back then either.
I can’t listen without the blood shot eye and the ending made me want the rest of the story
I’ve been in toxic shit I’m the Hannah now used to be the Lesley
felt like a movie with Ruelle's verse being the outro
I swear Ive been asking for this reaction for over a year, I'm excited for this👌🏻👌🏻

In another track on the album he says "break the 4th wall and base lesley on my relative" so yeah its a true story so sad
You finally did layedbak my G!!! Been asking you to react to this for time!!!!
One of the realest tracks in rap history 🤕
He’s says in another song on the album that he’s based lesly on his relatives
Look
They say the universe, it works in a strange way
And it must be true because, we ain't from the same background or same place
But me and Lesley ended up on that same train
I'm talking everyday, I used to wake up around seven or eight
To catch the 906 from Norbury Station
Two different worlds in the same location and
One day we ended up speaking
And I would talk about college, she would talk about meetings
And how she's planning on leaving
How she hates what she does but she needs it
I asked her what she was doing, it's the weekend
And she said, she said
I don't know myself
I don't know myself no more
She used to be the life of the party for true
And now she going out hardly ever
Her man got her in the yard forever
And her friends wanna help but it's hard to tell her
Hard to let her know that her man's possessive and aggressive
And she can't even see it, but for them it's clear as day, she's in a situation
Her friend Hannah had a man that was manipulative
So, she could see it from a mile off
Turtleneck jumpers, makeup around the eye spots
All the signs were there
But Lesley made it seem a light affair
Said it wasn't right to share
Her boyfriend, he was a mystery man
I didn't know much about him, but he's been in the can
Name's Jason, he's a bad boy with no reasoning
To be honest, I don't know what Les' sees in him
'Cause she's a good girl with a sweet heart
But they've both got demons and a deep past
You know opposites attract, apparently
I never heard her talk about her family ever, uh-uh
He was all that she had
Until they had an argument and he stopped calling her back
And I don't know if there was more to the story than that
'Cause she plays things down but according to that
He went missing one day in the morning he ran
She's doing overtime, struggling affording the flat
'Til she, lost her job it fucked all of her plans
Couldn't pay the rent, borrowing and calling for cash
But Hannah she was there for her, cared for her
When I saw Les' she told me
I don't know myself
I don't know myself no more
Les' saying, "I got nothing to live for
It's been raw, but David, I ain't never been this poor
There's no income, my boyfriend left me
So how the fuck am I going to survive when this kid's born?"
I said, "It's a blessing as mad as it is
And Les', I never even knew you were having a kid"
Bro, she's four months pregnant, young and neglected
Single but I don't think she wants to accept it
So she's still texting ex's trying to get this
Back on track but I don't think that she gets it
It's emotional obsession, clinical depression
Life is a lesson
And you ain't got to sit and cry
And Lesley, living in this gift called life
There's no better gift than the gift of life
So, can you handle it?
I don't know myself
I don't know myself no more
But that changed her perspective
Late in December, her baby's expected to drop
She's accepted, excited, electric, pumped
Only got to wait a few months
Her and Hannah had lunch
Told her she's pregnant
And they're the closest of bredrins
So she didn't stunt to tell her, I think that it's an error
You ain't a mum for a day, you're a mum forever
Whatever, and you and Jason break up whenever
If I'm honest that's something you should have done together
She doesn't know that her and Jason are going out again
And Jason doesn't know that Lesley's carrying a child for them
She had daydreams of settling down with Jason, better 'cause now they're together it's wild
Feeling like she needs to call her friends and tell 'em
'Cause while she's letting him down but most of them are never around
She calls Hannah the next day
Still tryna figure out the best way to tell her that she's getting back together with an ex-flame
So she left her a voicemail
Like "Yo Hannah, it's Les' can you call me back?
I wanna talk about the baby, you, me, Jason, all of that
I've been feeling like I need to get my aura back
I used to be so fucking confident
But these days, I swear that-"
I don't know my self
I don't know myself no more
It's 3:30 Lesley was meant to get a scan
But today I think she's going home early
Tryna talk to Jason, tell him 'bout the kid
Addressing any reservations
Have that conversation
Middle of the summer and it's raining
Waiting at the train station
Hella cancellations
So she gets a taxi, sitting in a backseat
Blue jean jacket and a maxi
Actually, tired and her legs are aching
Touched the destination
Way faster than the cab driver's estimation
She put the key in the door
She, couldn't believe what she see on the floor
Some size five trainers, raging
Tears in her eyes, but it's cool 'cause they must be the neighbors
And Jason's in the bedroom fully naked
Lesley running up the stairs but she's making noise
And she can hear Jason's voice
Saying "Hide in the closet"
But he's made his choice
So, she bursts in saying "What kind of person would cheat on his pregnant girlfriend?"
Jason, saying "What the fuck, you're pregnant? What the fuck?
You weren't even gonna tell me, I mean what the fuck?
What do you want from us?
Nah, you ain't in love, you just wanna love"
Lesley telling Jason, "I don't wanna love
I don't want a you and I, I don't want an us
And also, I don't wanna talk loads
One more line before I dash like Morse code"
Open the wardrobe
And Jason's on the edge
"I just wanna see if she was prettier than me, slimmer than me
Maybe your baby's similar to me
Maybe you wanted someone thicker than me, fitter than me
To satisfy you quicker than me
I got your baby in my stomach and you did this to me
What did I ever do to you for you to finish with me?
I didn't believe my girls but they were thinking of me
And give it to me, the wardrobe, give me the key"
I was pulling up the door but Jason's bigger than me
Literally, I remember viscerally
Jason pulling from behind me now he's gripping on me
White flashes, eye gashes, when he's hitting me, see
I just wanted to disappear I wasn't living for me
Physically I shut the fucking doors quick as can be
He's outside asking why I made him do what he did
Using a kick to open up the room that I'm in
I'm feeling afraid, barricaded, with a chair in the handle
I'm hearing sirens but I just wanna run away but I can't
Jason's gone by the time police are comin'
They saw that ain't no one else in the house
And feds are running through the door shouting
"We have reports of an argument with a woman"
There's blood all over the floor and it's splattered onto the wall
Lesley's on the bed and she's tryna speak to the feds
She's deep in the stress and his meter's above her head
If anything, she couldn't even say anything
But she's got this really sharp pain where her belly is
So, they call an ambulance, Lesley didn't plan for this
Police are in the room tryna find the missing piece of the puzzle
Until they stumble on something that's kind of random
It's a phone in the wardrobe
They had five missed phone calls from Jason and also a couple other numbers
So they thinking that it's no help
Until they play the voicemail like "Yo Hannah, it's Les' can you call me back?
I wanna talk about the baby, you, me, Jason, all of that
I've been feeling like I need to get my aura back
I used to be so fucking confident
But these days, I swear that-"
I don't know my self
I don't know myself no more
She felt sick to her stomach, she started panicking
Mind rattling, tryna understand what Hannah did
Battling the shame 'cause the situation embarrassing
She's tryna fathom it betrayed by her own garrison
Meanwhile, she's on the bed tryna manage this
Piercing pain in the stomach, she couldn't handle it
Now she's waiting for an ambulance
Yeah
And I know she's strong, but when I heard about what happened I was over-shocked
Her nose was gone, her jaw line shattered and rocked
They said her baby was the reason she was holding on
She dozing off, doctors getting no response
Her heart rate slowing down and they don't know what's wrong
Picked her up, got her out the home and onto the stretcher for good measure
But she fading out, oh
She took damage to the brain and now she's in a coma as we speak
But I ain't sure if she can make it out
You see this time that I'm taking out to tell you the story is more than a song or track
It's a message to a woman with a toxic man
I'm begging you to get support if you're lost or trapped
I understand that I can never understand
And I ain't saying that it's easy but it must be right
Some of your sisters, aunties, mums or wives
Are fucked aside and they will never touch on why
I'm touched 'cause I've seen women that I love though like-
Cry little red tears through a bloodshot eye
This shit's awful, no matter what culture it ain't normal
Men try and twist it, make it seem like it's your fault
In that train full of people that you're taking
How many Lesley's are running from their Jasons?
Angel without wings
Like the day without the night to bring her peace
A song without a voice
A spark without a flame
A child without a name
Oh, it's just wrong
Like an ocean without a shore
A soldier without a war
How can we do this anymore?
A song without a voice
A spark without a flame
A child without a name
Oh, it's just wrong
Well, we've made a massive amount of progress in this last year, haven't we?
Feels like a long journey
And I must say it's been a pleasure, to watch you mature and grow in thought
And in your career and life
You've opened up immensely
I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't miss these sessions
But you know, you can never stop learning about yourself
So you're always welcome
I'm just happy you're at a place now where you feel you understand your emotions
And are in control
