some info for you about jpegmafia: he is a veteran, an ex airforce soldier who was discharged honorably for, as he stated “calling out misuse of power.” he did start around 2008 under the name Devon hendryx, which is more focused on experimental and less angry and more sad in a way, working during his time in the army before living in Baltimore where he developed jpegmafia from racism protests in the city. he has been beefing with drake, one sided since his first album, even commenting about it on his twitter when kendrick dissed him. he mostly disses or makes fun of people on this album for being on record labels as he is purely solo! he even originally started rapping because people would take his produced beats and “wreck them” and he got pissed and decided to instead become a rapper. hopefully you check more of his works out! he really is a great musical artist, one of my favourites ever
another important note is that the name jpegmafia supposedly came from a collective while he was on military tour which was going to be a "mafia" so people like gifmafia or avimafia.
I scream this in the mirror before i interact with anyone- 2:39 SIN MIEDO- 5:41 i'll Be right There- 9:29 its dark and hell is hot- 14:03 New Black History- 17:20 dont rely on other men- 21:37 vulgar display of power- 24:56 Exmilitary- 28:03 JIHAD JOE- 32:47 JPEGULTRA!- 35:58 either on or off drugs- 41:30 Loop it and leave it- 45:00 dont put anything on the bible- 46:49 i recovered from this- 52:08 this took me a solid 8 minutes. (please pin)
For some more info Jpeg is an army veteran who spoke up against abuse by his superiors and it was while he was in the army that he started making these experimental beats and rapping over it.
He was Air Force...and speaking up against abuse is a stretch. I love Peggy, but he was most likely just an immature joe that didnt like authority...Ive met a bunch of young service members like that. They dont like being given orders is all.
38:33 he has been around as Devon Hendryx, his real name, on bandcamp and other sites, he is like an og in like ambient and vaporwave and then later mixed in rap into his music and transitioned to rap fully about 2014. His first album on Spotify as Devon Hendryx came out 2009.
ambient been around longer than yo fav rapper's fav rapper's favorite soul singer. so og doesnt really work. Vaporwave yes though its a bit of a debate though. i usually include him with the OGs of the vapor scene tho.
I love ur reactions so much bro You should really listen to all of his albums cuz all of them are amazing and it's really something that you would never hear in any artist
Also to talk about his lyrics, he mostly comes across as confrontational and in the moment flexing. But, if u do want to know more, you probably wont, i mean his entire tagline is "you think you know me" lol but i will say his 2019 album "All My Heroes Are Cornballs" is a bit more personal in a weirdly unique way
Just some background, JPEGMAFIA grew up in a poor area in Baltimore, Maryland. His father was not present, and he also is a veteran. I believe he toured in Afghanistan, but I’m not 100% on the country.
he grew up in brooklyn in his early childhood, moved to alabama with his parents, where he faced racism head on, on the daily and after that he joined the military not having any direction in life
please do veteran or LP! offline version next. 2 of the best experimental rap albums of recent years and I would argue they are both better than this one
if you want some cool transitions from him, check all my heroes are cornballs. I think it's the only album in which he makes transitions from sont to song
ok trust me you gotta listen to melt my eyez see your future by denzel curry i think youd love it its one of my favourite albums to come out this decade
I've been waiting for you to go down this experimental hip hop rabbit hole, it was bound to happen lmaoo Maybe try some death grips? (The Money Store or Exmilitary) 👀👀
FINALLY LETS GOO 😭😭 Also youve mentioned you love jazz music a lot so i got to recommend beloved paradise jazz by mckinley dixon to you, probably my favourite jazz rap album aot, up there w low end theory for me^^
I’ve loved your Radiohead&Kendrick reactions and JPEGMAFIA is my all time fave artist! PLEASE do Veteran and AllMyHeroesAreCornballs next, those are the 2 single most personality-oozing and insane album experiences of the last 10 years imo
Yo Thiemo. Been watching since your first couple reaction vids but never commented - just wanted to say your content is a breath of fresh air in the reaction-sphere of music related content especially. Keep it up o7
write in the comments that I'm a cool human
@@tamerail no 😈
You are a cold homosapien
YESSSS THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR
Top 3 albums you’ve reacted to???
I'm a cool human
'For some reason this goes incredibly hard' is the perfect way to sum up Peggy's music 😂

this is genuinely one of the best evaluations of jpegmafia i’ve ever seen

U not getting pinned timestamp boy
In his live show there’s no transitions either 😭. After every song he goes “Aright y’all, I’ve got another song for you, this one’s called…”
and we go absolute crazy in the crowds
For some more info Jpeg is an army veteran who spoke up against abuse by his superiors and it was while he was in the army that he started making these experimental beats and rapping over it.
wasn't he airforce?
@@KiddBuu_yeah he was probably confusing army with military
He was Air Force...and speaking up against abuse is a stretch. I love Peggy, but he was most likely just an immature joe that didnt like authority...Ive met a bunch of young service members like that. They dont like being given orders is all.
tamerail is such a cool human
i’d give everything he’s released all the way back to “veteran” a listen. peggy has got one of the most consistent discographies out there.
Devon hendryx has a lot of really solid stuff too bro
Bro you need to do Scaring the Hoes. It’s more unique than Yeezus.
Not saying better but it’s probably the craziest rap album I’ve ever heard
fr
Aight imma scare some hoes 🗣️
With the dlc
@@austinaschh I'm going to say it's better
TABOO by Denzel Curry is an absolutely fucking wild album
THANK YOU TAMERAIL FOR REACTING TO THIS! MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!!!
U gotta check out Melt My Eyez See Your Future from Denzel
thisss
FINALLLYYYY I LOVE YOU TAMERAIL!!
Not even 1 minute in and he's roasting me about how lonely I am
Us both brother, us both
I'm just projecting 😊
Definitely recommend his earlier albums! You get to know him and how he makes his music a lot more
The city Freddie Gibbs is from (Gary Indiana) is actually extremely dangerous
No way a city called "Gary" is dangerous 😭
@@tamerail Its the trenches bro, I swear
Used to be real bad but its become more tame since then@@tamerail
@@tamerail he’s from where michael jackson from
You get a red light in Gary you ain’t stopping bröther
peggy lore is pretty deep. He's made music under 3 different names before going by jpegmafia now i believe. also hi
wait which ones i only kno devon hendryx
Reaction was FIRE.
Also you gotta react to more DENZELLLL.
Melt My Eyez See Your Future is a perfect album from 2022, same level as The Forever Story.
38:33 he has been around as Devon Hendryx, his real name, on bandcamp and other sites, he is like an og in like ambient and vaporwave and then later mixed in rap into his music and transitioned to rap fully about 2014. His first album on Spotify as Devon Hendryx came out 2009.

best surprise ive had in a WHILE omg thank you for turning my day around
I love ur reactions so much bro
You should really listen to all of his albums cuz all of them are amazing and it's really something that you would never hear in any artist
i've generally heard,"A breath of fresh air," but either way, you said it correctly. love your stuff mane
Album of the year Exmilitary is my favorite song this year
praying for a melt my eyez reaction
Exmilitary’s sample was also used in 36 Chambers by Wu Tang
Love that you reacted to this. Def my album of the year!
26:22 that was so hard when the beat dropped after you said that, w prod tag
Welcome to JPVERSE RAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHATS A PEGGY TYPE BEAT
I said PNG GANG earlier 😥, i thought i was so clever and nobody would ever come with this creative joke
you HAVE to listen to melt my eyez see your future by denzel curry. got a lot of jazz influence and the storytelling is amazing as well
Also to talk about his lyrics, he mostly comes across as confrontational and in the moment flexing. But, if u do want to know more, you probably wont, i mean his entire tagline is "you think you know me" lol
but i will say his 2019 album "All My Heroes Are Cornballs" is a bit more personal in a weirdly unique way
This is the only channel that I will never skip an upload
man u popping off
I just listen to this album for the first time yesterday and now your listening to it.
such a good album

@@pietruə oh shoot. I was misinformed

Been waiting on this one
Yo you got to react to Melt my eyez see your future by Denzel Curry

brazil mentioned!
man you need to check the samples used on this album, its actually insane!! love from brazil
you’re a very cool humanoid brother, but was definitely waiting for you to react to this (will edit once i’m done listening)
U done listening bro?
Man, how many hours have you been listening?
@@victrok5090I have rewatched 3 times now, i completely forgot i left this. ALBUM OF THE FUCKING YEAR BABY
Take this as another sign to do Vince Staples. One of the greatest rappers alive with a lot of variety across his discography.
PLEASE OH PLEASE listen to The New Sound by Geordie Greep
has some jazz fusion and brazilian style music you’d love
listened to it a few days ago its really good
YES HE REACTED TO PEGGY
can we do a Vince Staples record soon? either big fish or dark times preferably 🫡
0:25 seconds in and no pegging joke rip
this album is amazing one of peggy best tho
@@lemonsandcandyoffline numba one
to me the craziest line is when you open the Ex-military credits and he solo produced that shit
BIG FISH THEORY BY VINCE STAPLES IS NEEDED
please do veteran or LP! offline version next. 2 of the best experimental rap albums of recent years and I would argue they are both better than this one
38:36 he has old music under the name Devon Hendryx
if you want some cool transitions from him, check all my heroes are cornballs. I think it's the only album in which he makes transitions from sont to song
Jpeg has the most meatriding fans (I'm one of them)
Maybe you ready to *"Injury Reserve - By the Time I Get to Phoenix"* now
also, the best experimental rap album ever made
you will really get to know him on offline!, pleeease listen to it next. he plays with gender on all my heroes are cornballs (with perspective)
ok trust me you gotta listen to melt my eyez see your future by denzel curry i think youd love it its one of my favourite albums to come out this decade
I've been waiting for you to go down this experimental hip hop rabbit hole, it was bound to happen lmaoo
Maybe try some death grips? (The Money Store or Exmilitary) 👀👀
8:26 I was surprised to learn that he’s 35
pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase do "OFFLINE" by him next
Pls brother explore the rest of his work it’s great
FINALLY LETS GOO 😭😭
Also youve mentioned you love jazz music a lot so i got to recommend beloved paradise jazz by mckinley dixon to you, probably my favourite jazz rap album aot, up there w low end theory for me^^
probably not who you wanted to reach but thanks for the recommendation
album of the year
Oh I been waiting for this one
You GOTTA hear LP (Offline) from him next time you get around to him.
The best reactor reacts to the best album of 2024. It’s a good day.
hes a cool human
JPEGMAFIA is 35 bro
would
he’s actually older than a lot of rappers at 34
I love this guy
TameRail is the coolest dude
check out All My Heroes Are Cornballs!!!! a really melodic turn from peggy
Jpeg helped produce the best parts of Vultures btw. Just saying, even though he is kind of a clown, his music is insanely good
I’ve loved your Radiohead&Kendrick reactions and JPEGMAFIA is my all time fave artist!
PLEASE do Veteran and AllMyHeroesAreCornballs next, those are the 2 single most personality-oozing and insane album experiences of the last 10 years imo
Also in Cornballs everything transitions in such unique ways 19:28
offline! is his best album you should hear it
Hey hey I recommend Ants From Up There by Black Country, New Road. I think you’d enjoy it!
Please do some denzel curry! Id recommend you do melt my eyes see your future and taboo
The answer to your question is yes!
You gotta check out some of his other stuff. His whole discography is great
Bro you should react to Imaginal Disk by Magdalena Bay, great album and wonderful listening experience
I agree
Me too
listen to the low end theory by a tribe called quest it is the foundation of jazz rap you saw in to Pimp A Butterfly, the pioneers of jazz rap
gotta do veteran next
you're a cool human
bro finally checked out peak
Peggy watches a lot of reaction videos to his music so there is a non zero chance he will see this video
Nice I love your vids man this is a fantastic album
okay yes check out denzels albums but also know he made the meme song Ultimate (we must educate the man)
tamerail, you missed the main drake line in "it's dark and hell is hot"
We used to pray for drake disses like this.
best way to learn about his history is to keep listening to his albums 😏
he was in the militari so, thats de backgorund
You HAVE to listen to some denzel curry, preferably Melt my Eyez
Peggy is fucking fantastic man I hope you keep reacting to his stuff
he made music under the name Devon Hendryx before jpegmafia
Yo Thiemo. Been watching since your first couple reaction vids but never commented - just wanted to say your content is a breath of fresh air in the reaction-sphere of music related content especially. Keep it up o7
heck yeahhh
You neeeeeeed to cheak "the new sound" by geordie greep, in my humble opinion its the album of the year, its so fucking good its scary.
BRO REACT TO OFFLINE BY JPEG. his best produced album for sure. its a mindfuck
We gotta make bro listen to melt my eyez see your future by denzel curry
