maybe the most layered bar in it and no1 has taken it apart yet, probably not getting it is ""box a man back like I'm munching jollof" Boxing back food means eating it quickly, devouring it, Bas devoured him. Jollof is sold in boxes as take away food in the uk Box = back to the rectangle bar = coffin and theres more but some of them maybe are reading too much into it
Welcome to the Pete & Bas rabbit hole. These guys are insane. Came out of nowhere in 2017 and haven’t looked back. I’ve never been so genuinely on the edge of my seat waiting for ANYONE to drop a new track as I am with these two. 🥰
The most serious bars ever. Every bar is a double or triple. Sickest back and forth, too. I'll keep watching with you, brother. The got a crew on Window Frame Cypher 1 and 2. That crew has their own stuff. The Northern Boys as well as Norman Pain and Uncle Bal. P.s. No ghostwriter; but their grandkids keep them tuned to the new slang.
@@vespacheck so many reaction vids i see miss soo and i mean soooooo many bars wether they just to deep or the slag or whatever it may be but so many unreal barrs go missed and its criminal
Watching Americans react to Pete and Bas is my new hobby. I am an old school boy from London and I grew up with blokes like this. Believe me they are as real as it gets
By the way battenburg is a cake that is 4 quarters put together with apricot jam and wrapped in marzipan...is also a slang term for an ambulance because is similar to their emblem! So references being quartered and hospitalised..also Mr kipling is the main British brand of cakes.. So much to absorb its mental..
The cake line from Bas is ridiculous: "Mess with the cake, I'ma battenburg him" Battenburg is a checkerboard cake, which is made by chopping a black and a white cake into squares. And reassembling it into a checkerboard pattern. In otherwords, mess with him, he'll chop you up and put you vack together again. Bars!
They gave the whole rap scene so much bars and back forward tips for 10 full albums..everyone says they want to be adopted and family straight away hillarious.🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥tripple og shit🤣🤣
@@HonkeyKongLive Don't remember them doing it in that one either. Have you checked out 'Aitch' or Akala daily duppy and fire in the booth? Good reactions thanks. 👍🇬🇧🏴
@@heatherlynnfairfield Good enough for me, considering pretty much every rapper uses swearing as their bars. Swearing has it's place but shouldn't replace vocabulary, it's just lazy rapping then. I am not impressed by swearing and it's got kinda boring now, it's become so last year lol.
According to wiki: Pete & Bas are a British hip hop duo based in London, formed in 2017. They are notable for the songs "The Old Estate", "Dents in a Peugeot", and their debut single, "Shut Ya Mouth". The duo consists of two rap artists aged in their 70s. They released their first single in 2017 with "Shut Ya Mouth".
Ayyy GREAT reaction! That was just as good as I thought it would be. 💯 Just know that you've already heard their two craziest songs. All of their songs are great and they always bring fire but it's been a progression to get to this point as they learn their craft. That said you should react to all their videos (but save the ciphers for last). They're always fun. 💯 Keep up the great work
Moving weight in and out of the gym. Hard as fuck. The car, drugs and old kids TV running through one back and fourth is just genius. The cake theme is a very UK specific genius bit.
Oh shit i just caught the triple-entendres. “I’m snatching his bird and thunder.” His bird is his girl. His thunder is his shine/popularity, his thunderbird is his car 😂
Bass has not long come out of prison before they made this track, I don't know why he was locked up. Please react to Pete and bass "Bermondsey" It is real gangster style.
It would take me hours to explain all the bars to an American, I have the specific knowledge to do it and would happily go through it though as this is pure art.

These are seriously some of the only interesting and REAL rappers i've discovered in a loooong time. Who cares about their age lmao. Be aware of an old gangster. They've survived for a reason.
This is probably the best example of rap ever. You need to get all the references and slang to know how deep their bars really go, most people don't have the specific knowledge of current UK drill and old man London slang and references to get half of their bars and everyone still loves them.

If you know UK pop culture and cockney slang, you’d know how much every other line has a double or triple meaning. I’ve honestly never heard anything quite like it and I’ve been listening to rap since the early 80’s.

It's 2023 and my favourite rappers are in their 70's and not ironically they've got the most complex lyrics in the game. Shits crazy in the 20's.
Lov this reaction! The appreciation fire the barrs.

Lol brilliant reaction bro, bet you didn't notice that they spit bars heavy and don't swear once! Class. No lazy bars just fire🔥🔥🔥👍🇬🇧
Shit I didn't even notice that lmao I think the only cursing they ever did was in the Plugged In?
@@HonkeyKongLive Don't remember them doing it in that one either. Have you checked out 'Aitch' or Akala daily duppy and fire in the booth? Good reactions thanks. 👍🇬🇧🏴
yoooo I did not notice that, yeah they're insane
They do swear. They just don’t do it very often.

One of the better reaction videos! Good job on the bar breakdown
That rich tea biscuit bar wasn't about dipping biscuits my guy.............🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

It's great how you keep up with the beat switches and melodies. Good job
Jay: "But shout out to my Grandparents, bro..."
Me: 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅 ABSOLUTELY!!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Bas ended with the bell ringing and Pete came in with ding a ling ding (the bell) you are missing them playing off each other
Batten berg is a type of cake.. and i think kipling is a biscuit, great punchline.. this is my favourite reaction vid for this song 👍
Appreciate it fam!
Kiplings like the main cake brand over here, it's a company
the cake also matches the ambulances.
Snatched his bird and thunder, took his confidence/rep and his woman.
Check out pete and bas the old estate
Oh shit i just caught the triple-entendres. “I’m snatching his bird and thunder.” His bird is his girl. His thunder is his shine/popularity, his thunderbird is his car 😂
Thunder could be a gun as well
Pete & bas: The generals corner with Kenny Allstar
They absolutely slap live as well, they really do rap, dunno if they have ghostwriters but they definitely rap and do live sets
HMP means "Her Majesty's Prison". Mans was put in a dungeon. 😂
Check out Golf ft Norman Pain and Window Frame Cypher ft. Snooker team. We've got more to show you. X
I just realized "dinga ling ding on a fruit machine" means you won on a slot machine.
…and it’s a play off Bas’s last line about “the bell starts ringing”
Just when you think it can't get more legendary, Bas drops the Gundam reference.
Phenomenal reaction!
Bass has not long come out of prison before they made this track, I don't know why he was locked up.

Fingers get bent back like birds on tinder… birds is slang for women… then he’s stinging them at the bbq!!!
Pete and Bas do tours.

Your thumbnail look goofy as hell but the video look like an appropriate length so I'm giving it a shot, all love
H.m.p prison.
“ Bird “ is British / Cockney slang for girlfriend.
Well done
"snatching his bird and thunder..."
The dude is taking his girl and his shotgun(s)?
Your boy bas was a pro bare knuckle boxer
GG
Do all the videos!! You will love every one lol
I def will be listening to all of it lol. Mr. Worldwide actually dropping today
