Gutted about Braintax, Grew up listening to Low life. Have you heard this Chester P the greatest story never told. ua-cam.com/video/zcFPed8QpLU/v-deo.html
Chester names every planet in our solar system. His first line, I’m the spaceman type His last line, the spaceman type from a section that’s nameless. Now listen to it again. I’m the comic gypsy welcome to my kingdom, the space is my wife and the planets are my children.
I always imagined that Jehst’s line ‘escaping the stasis of carbonite preservation’ was talking about freeing ones mind seeing that we, as humans, are carbon based life forms. But you’re right, it was a blatant Star Wars quote and I’ve missed it all this time. It’s crazy that nearly a decade and half after first hearing this I still find new stuff. Thanks Canadian Dad, it gives me immense joy to watch you get the feels from something me and my friends grew up listening to. Greetings from sunny old England 👍
until you actually write, the verses these guys do are still underrated...its hard to fathom how to rhyme this sort of stuff in the way they do, with the multi syllabic schemes its ridiculous ! the best of the best, big respect
You had the stank face on for a good 50% of that one man! Can't blame you though! Absolute genius on display. I ran this track back over and over back in the day. Just being able to comprehend the lyrics made me feel smart ha.
1Jackal1 you’d have to hear it a bunch of times to even scratch the surface. Way too much going on. I’ve listened to it a few more times and still catching a load of stuff each time. Brilliant writing.
This was the one I was waiting for, Jehst and Chest’ are on another level for sure. The lelectric sheep feed on AstroTurf” bar is one of the best ever, the imagery is maddd. Wish I could go back to my first time hearing this!
Cool to see you going through these uk classics and pushing ukhh as it’s always been in it’s own little bubble and criminally gets slept on by the rest of the world, big up yourself for the videos and it’s great to see that these tracks still have as much impact as when I first heard them!
Track is a special one, listen to it always! Always listening to the authorship and the butterfly trio by chester p and task force also, lyrical genius and the butterfly trio are just happy and put a smile on my face xD
Braintax - escuchame Kashmere iguana man - life or death Life - moviedrome (🤯) Tommy Evans - silent mobius Taskforce - life without instruction Foreign Beggers ft. Dr syntax - glacial
Also.. If you can find it on UA-cam, I have an LP called Breakin Bread 7" deadly sins It's awesome and worth checking out Dpf and cappo - focus on main features if 1 track from the album
Yoooooooo Kashmere the Iguana(King Kash, Strange U/ Gawd Status) has some of the best vocal visuals in the game.. Lyrical genius on a level not many could get remotely close to
I had never heard of this track until seeing this, wow! I think Jehst just about nailed it for me - I only found out about him yesterday. Doh! Great reaction, keep it up!
Great reaction. Absolute stone cold U.K. classic. But I have to agree with you, Braintax verse is underwhelming. Fuck Braintax 🤣. Looking forward to live reactions 😬👍
Loved your response to this beat, It is a masterpiece! Jehst- England is also another masterclass act. One of the hardest hitting pieces especially for us brits.
Other tunes to listen to - Jehst - High Plains Anthem - Wordsmiff - Apocalypse When (ft Jehst & Skriblah) - Jehst - City of Industry - Jehst- Carpe Diem- Champions Of Nature - Task Force - Butterfly Concerto Bro if you ever wanna jump on a video call and run through UK HH I am happy to introduce you to some fire!!!
It’s a legendary track, off a legendary E.P. You ought to react to Chester’s “Intro” track off of “Voice of The Great Outdoors” too, or I highly recommend reacting to “Battlecats” and “The Last Tune”, all off this same EP. Mind you, now I think of it, “Butterfly Concerto” and “Six Names” are worth reacting to also but I’ve listed the entire EP now, so I’ll get my coat ....
His verse on this and his contribution to uk hip hop in the naughties were masive but Braintax was a proper 🐍 unfortunately. He fucked so many guys over. ALL the big guys!!
One of my favourite tunes, ever, but Braintax, I adored his bars etc, and found out how he f*cked Taskforce over years back, haven't really listened to him since, years fone by and he hasn't even reached out to resolve it.
Hi there. I stumbled across your channel a few months back by going down UA-cam rabbit holes (as you do). Really enjoying this and the reviews. I am a big UK hip hop fan and with young kids and Covid meaning i'm not DJing at the moment means I don't have the same time to dig for new music, so this is great! Do you have an email address for the channel? There is a whole another side to the UK scene with B-Line Recordings, real boom-bap golden sounds record label and slightly less darker themes than High Focus (which I do love too, namely Leaf Dog and Ocean Wisdom). Artists on the B-Line label like Chrome, Whirlwind D, Specifik & Project Cee and Uncle Mic Nitro are worth checking out. Chrome is from my hometown of Norwich, UK and has been repping for 20 years. He's also affiliated with DJ Format and recently The Allergies and Andy Cooper from Ugly Duckling. Phi Life Cypher have always been one of my favourite UK acts, you've reacted to Si Phili from the group but worth checking out Life MC too. He's had some good solo projects. 'In Memory' is a great track from his album Everyday Life. Keep up the good work and great seeing the UK love, a very under-valued hip hop scene (always has been).
Ali Fraser I’m in Ontario, so it’s like a 5 or 5 1/2 hour difference I think. I was thinking of doing it here around 430 or 5 (my time) and stay on line for an hour or so.
@@jordanlock9746 He stole money from every emcee on Low Life records in the early 2000s and was skimming $$ from every show or battle he had anything to do with.
Braintax might take some getting used to, he’s really different. No issue with listening to him millions still listen to a Michael Jackson ffs! Too many classic tracks to be ignored for being an ass🕳
36 Chambers 😂 none of the above sir! Only Braintax. Biro Funk is a pillar of the U.K. hip hop scene, knowledge of the culture is incomplete without him I think.
Braintax was a huge disappointment for me! He was the most politically militant MC in the UK towards the end of his career, but then he bugged out and screwed over his own artists while living fat in Goa. I still love his music though, especially Syriana, or Tools. Great MC, even better producer, unfortunately a total hypocrite.
Yeah, it was a really tough pill to swallow, hearing about how he acted....I didn't want to believe it, as i really loved a lot of his music, Birofunk was awesome and even his last album I grew to love. As you say, he was very political and really came with a strong message. Such a shame he disappeared...I miss him, even if he did make a mistake. Still hoping he returns one day with an aussie accent. 😂
‘Escape the stasis of carbonate preservation’ lots don’t get it!!! Big ups Canadian dad for this! Probably one of the greatest bits of UK music of all time for me!
@@robhughes4682 Yeah The Dark Craftsmen were a South Coast outfit around 2000 and a bit earlier... the main rapper now uses the monika 'Uncle Mic Nitro' and still releases stuff today... I met him a few times and he's really lyrical
After another couple listens, I’ve got to give Braintax some props. Still hard to follow that Chester verse.
I was going to say man his flows smooth at the eginning of that verse
Braintax is a mad MC and has released many UKHH classics, it’s just a shame he turned out to be a complete pagan.
Can someone tell me why braintax is a pagan????

do esp mate
Listened to Jehst and these guys for 20 years and this song still blows my mind
bet i’ve listened to jehst verse a thousand times
Chester names every planet in our solar system. His first line, I’m the spaceman type
His last line, the spaceman type from a section that’s nameless. Now listen to it again. I’m the comic gypsy welcome to my kingdom, the space is my wife and the planets are my children.
Jehst paints a sci fi picture in your head that everyone who has an imagination can relate to.
My man almost shed a tear when Jehst started spitting.
I always imagined that Jehst’s line ‘escaping the stasis of carbonite preservation’ was talking about freeing ones mind seeing that we, as humans, are carbon based life forms.

This was one of the first UK hip hop tracks I heard and I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
braintax is a controversial legend, that biro funk album is still a monolith
The Trilogy Remix with Jehst and Chester P :)
This is my fav track of all time, it's a masterpiece.
one of my favourite tracks since 99
until you actually write, the verses these guys do are still underrated...its hard to fathom how to rhyme this sort of stuff in the way they do, with the multi syllabic schemes its ridiculous ! the best of the best, big respect

Hahaha. Love how Jehst makes you speechless. Guy is next level
This was the one I was waiting for, Jehst and Chest’ are on another level for sure. The lelectric sheep feed on AstroTurf” bar is one of the best ever, the imagery is maddd. Wish I could go back to my first time hearing this!
Jeeezzze that bar was fire. So many great bars in this track. If I paused it every time I wanted to, I’d still be filming. 🤣
Super keen for you to do more Foreign Beggars. Frosted Perspeks & Glacial are 🔥
Thanks for the reactions man 👌😎
Frosted Perspeks is a classic & must be reacted to. Glacial dope too with Dr S & that dope Chester P sample.
Couldn't condone this more. Frosted Perspeks is an absolute classic
So glad someone is finding this music in 2020+.
Cool to see you going through these uk classics and pushing ukhh as it’s always been in it’s own little bubble and criminally gets slept on by the rest of the world, big up yourself for the videos and it’s great to see that these tracks still have as much impact as when I first heard them!
You aren’t wrong! 🤛
1979 is lyrical perfection
yo bruh, u just come on my radar! big ups. you should check out Universal Soldiers - Metaphysics ft Supa t
This video brought back some really great memories. I remember hearing this for the first time, no going back
Love this one it’s brilliant a stoner tune if ever there was one
Facts
Farma verse is another level, sublime
Track is a special one, listen to it always! Always listening to the authorship and the butterfly trio by chester p and task force also, lyrical genius and the butterfly trio are just happy and put a smile on my face xD
The dream team.
14:50 lol
Braintax - escuchame
Kashmere iguana man - life or death
Life - moviedrome (🤯)
Tommy Evans - silent mobius
Taskforce - life without instruction
Foreign Beggers ft. Dr syntax - glacial
Also.. If you can find it on UA-cam, I have an LP called Breakin Bread 7" deadly sins

Great reaction. So glad you got round to it. The live idea sounds all good. I'm in.

I had never heard of this track until seeing this, wow! I think Jehst just about nailed it for me - I only found out about him yesterday. Doh! Great reaction, keep it up!
Bruh welcome
Ill be honest.
Im kind of intelligent so im told often.
The way you break it down and comprehend it so easily is blessed.
You are a interesting dude
I appreciate that 👊🏼
Great reaction. Absolute stone cold U.K. classic. But I have to agree with you, Braintax verse is underwhelming. Fuck Braintax 🤣. Looking forward to live reactions 😬👍
Glad you got onto this one, you big tease. Like I said under a different video, this is like the Bohemian Rhapsody of UKHH.
Ali Fraser that’s right, I remember you saying that. I can see that now. Brilliant track.
So happy this song is in your life haha
Me too!
Great reaction
Loved your response to this beat, It is a masterpiece! Jehst- England is also another masterclass act. One of the hardest hitting pieces especially for us brits.
I have a reaction to England in my channel. Should be in my Jehst playlist (excuse the British flag in the thumbnail)
Other tunes to listen to

- Jehst - City of Industry

His verse on this and his contribution to uk hip hop in the naughties were masive but Braintax was a proper 🐍 unfortunately. He fucked so many guys over. ALL the big guys!!
I’m still waiting for an Eminem and Jehst collab... the two greatest wordsmiths in Hip Hop.
Chester p over them both
You gotta check (when you can ) Farma track called ,Haunted ,tnx,you dont need me to say great reaction again,to what is a UK classic,cheers.
One of my favourite tunes, ever, but Braintax, I adored his bars etc, and found out how he f*cked Taskforce over years back, haven't really listened to him since, years fone by and he hasn't even reached out to resolve it.
Nice one bud

Don't Cry by Farma G
I like the live idea, what part of Canada are you in? Could be tricky for you if it's west coast like Vancouver or something.
Ali Fraser I’m in Ontario, so it’s like a 5 or 5 1/2 hour difference I think. I was thinking of doing it here around 430 or 5 (my time) and stay on line for an hour or so.
@@CanadianDadReacts That would be fine for me, hopefully the other guys and girls think the same.
Trilogy remix ?
Apart from Braintax, who is absolutely shit this is a brilliant tune
Braintax is still one of the goats, it just sucks that he turned out to be a bellend.
he better than suge knight tho right
Why he a bellend?
@@jordanlock9746 He stole money from every emcee on Low Life records in the early 2000s and was skimming $$ from every show or battle he had anything to do with.
What do you mean there's other stuff about braintax?
Braintax might take some getting used to, he’s really different. No issue with listening to him millions still listen to a Michael Jackson ffs! Too many classic tracks to be ignored for being an ass🕳
So true. Never thought of it that way.
Bet you still got R Kelly & Gary Glitter in your playlists too 🤣
Nah I’m only messin. You make a valid point.
36 Chambers 😂 none of the above sir! Only Braintax. Biro Funk is a pillar of the U.K. hip hop scene, knowledge of the culture is incomplete without him I think.
Tbezza I agree bro, I’m just messin. I just like sayin Fuck Braintax.
36 Chambers peace 👊

He was the most politically militant MC in the UK towards the end of his career, but then he bugged out and screwed over his own artists while living fat in Goa.

Yeah, I’m a little bit of a Star Wars geek
the braintax stuff is just business - they shoulda got better contracts right nothing US artists aint been through
The Dark Craftsmen - Morbid Philosophy
@@BeneeUK That was fire man! I've been a huge UK hip hop head since about 2000 and have definitely never heard that. Crazy that it missed me!
