Pete's improvement over the last handful of tracks is wild. This was a 3 man show and everyone brought their A-game. And that Gundam line was totally a grandkid line but it still even had a crazy double to it, "cannon on me like gun, DAMN." EDIT: and there's a ton of insane doubles and bars in here. The Betty Crocker line at the start, Bas's gym bars, the christening line, the way they traded off with "made love to the ground and KISSED the curb", this thing was just DENSE with wordplay.
My favourite bar ppl are missing is the Martin Luther king bar. “ had a dream like Martin Luther, fell asleep to the sound of the hoover” a big theory on who killed mlk was the CIA. Who was famously run by j Edgar hoover .
The things with the bars on this is that they are LAAAAAAAAYERED and hidden in plain sight. Some of them may not register on immediate first listen, but when you process it more, it's like "oh.."
I don't feel like they got the props they should have for this one can't lie. The bars were braze the whole sleep scheme at the beginning, martin Luther-jay edgar hoover, Betty crocker, burning rubber michelin-michelin star ... I think the only thing that let this one down is rhe beat selection first two beats were sick the last two toned it down a bit. They had more flow changes in this than all their other tunes so level of difficulty was up there. It's all opinion though
you missed the kippling bar that links it right after (mr kippling is a brand that makes battenberg cakes in the uk) ''He mess with the cake then I'll Battenberg him Kipling, missed him Run up in his house and gripped him''
It's no secret that I love Pete and Bas. They get better with each track. They obviously take their music seriously. This is definitely a three man show, Pete, Bas and 91 shots. 91 shots is truly the beat whisperer.
a reference that I imagine not many people will get is the "left him gurning" line; gurn is an old term for pulling a purposefully ugly or grotesque face so the line means that he will beat someone to the point they are permanently physically deformed. a nice cultural reference as gurning competitions were a very popular past time in much of rural England wherein contenders would place there heads through a horses collar and pulls the most grotesque face they can; its these sorts of references that convince me that they do have a hand in the writing process.
They are either geniuses - the modern equivalent of Shakespeare and Marlowe - and spend endless hours concocting this stuff, or they have a team of cultural historians with (half-) rhyming dictionaries piecing their bars together. I'm not sure which is more credible.
@@AdamChopdat think that’s maybe why he missed a few points, with the prerecorded vids he would’ve had more time to sit with the song. Definitely agree tho not feeling the streams too much
Ngl, I’m the same with these 2🤣🤣. He just loves them so much that it’s a vibe as soon as they start rapping. You just forget to listen cause the sound is so nice alone
If you know UK slang and pop culture, they’re even more incredible. Every other line has a double or triple meaning. Michelin is a tire company, but also the five-star rating system used for restaurants. Mr. Benn was a character on a kids tv show from the 1970’s. He would change into various clothes in his walk-in closet and then step out into whatever time/place/scenario his costume dictated. Bas picked up on that and started his next line with “Tin-Tin”, which was another UK kids show from the time. Battenberg is a cake made in a checkerboard pattern … but also slang for an ambulance (because of the checkered pattern on the side). “Mess with the cake and I’ll Battenberg him” is a phenomenal bar. Knock Down Ginger is what we call “Ding Dong Ditch” here in the States. Mash = gun (in another one of their songs, Bas says he’s “banging that mash like English Breakfast”, which is just brilliant because “bangers and mash” is a traditional breakfast in the UK.) Ben Sherman = men’s clothing line (a bit dated, LOL) HMP = Her majesty’s prison Chain hang like bollocks = his chains are so heavy they swing like his manly bits Cone get split like Chevron = splitting your head open like the V in the Chevron symbol Also … Bas used to be a bare knuckle fighter in the day and I forget which gang Pete ran with. The stuff they rap about … pig farms, bodies in the trash and cementing people into buildings is straight mob shit. I love these guys. They make my heart smile every day. They also scare the crap out of me because I’m pretty sure they’re serious. 😂😂😂
the old boys got better bars an flows than most man nowadays😂 could imagine these on a dark night long black coat top hat walking stick an shotty tucked😂
I'm from the US, so what do you consider a 10/10? because all these bars are hard. Especially from two old men in their 70's compared to this younger generation.
Not sure if they're referring to Ben 10 as well since they bounce off each other like the "kiss the curb" part. Ben 10 is a cartoon in 2005 where he shifts into different aliens. Then 10/10 is also tin tin the comics.
Hi Lee, long time no speak! 😉 Loved your reaction to this one and this is the first time I've heard Pete and Bas!! I'm on board, they are so much better than I had expected! But yeah, great reaction. Love Paula 🙂 xx
i been watching for a while now n everytime i watch i alwayssss think howw the fuckkk does this dude not have 1mil yet?! keep up the BANGING work brother
just realised the dipped bar was a triple entendre, Obviously the literal meaning, then the dipped as in stabbed, but after the line about christening he’s talking about getting dipped in water
Every time I think Pete & Bas have peaked they go next level!!!!!!!! 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 That beat changed 3 times yet they're sat in pocket....BARS AND FLOWS!!! Big reactions once again Lee
there's no scale in the world this song rates lower than a 9. the lyricism was top notch, it was back to back bars. bas went tf off with his themes and scheming. and the cadences were creative and catchy asf. the beat was mental. come the fuck on lmao
They probably tucked away a couple of 40 year old women ...... you funny c! I fucking collapsed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 DREAM like Martin Luther, fall ASLEEP to the sound of the hoover, NIGHTMARE like Frederick Kruger, SLEEP with the fishes now he's tuna... So you got the SLEEP theme but what you didn't notice. Was the line after about Black or White we can be brothers go's back to the first line about Martin Luthers dream Burn that rubber like Michelin as in tyres, but the 5 star food line refers to Michelin star restaurants. They hard
The "don't care about colours, black or white we can be brothers" goes back to the Martin Luther dream line. Martin Luther Kings dream was about Black and white being united and being together and not apart
I think that (because I'm an 'old head' in my 50s who grew up on hip hop since Sugarhill, Run DMC, etc) some bars were missed here. The 'mess with the cake and I'll Battenberg him' is not just the cake reference, it's the fact that a Battenberg cake has the cross in it (hence the X sign), then Pete immediately jumps in with "Kipling" straight after 🔥 Then there's the Bas line when he talks about how he "won't stop till the bell stops ringing" followed by Pete saying "Ding-a-ling-ling" line (with the bells playing in the background 🔔). Not forgetting the normal Bas spazzing out line where he goes on about Tinder, wasps stinging and HP printer...the last part "you better hope this thing don't jam!" 🔥🔥 I thought this was very creative, lyrically...they have amazing chemistry 💥
Actually it's "hope this bing don't jam" that makes it even colder 🥶 Imagine surviving those wasps and the rollers? I sure hope that bing don't jam! 😳🥶🔥
Think I prefer his reactions with the editing to get a feel for his actual enjoyment of the song. Too many reaction channels just pause every 2 seconds to break down a line but never get a feel for the actual song in song form
These two mention military weapons alot like in Mr worldwide they mentioned the SA80 which is like a extension of the body, being ex military and the people who are watching this who serve or used to will understand... These man are next level and clearly could go up against anyone in this music scene and be a danger.. LOVE THE CHANEL BRO YOU HAVE HELPED ME TO UNDERSTAND SHIT I MISSED UNTIL WATCHING YOU
Great reaction as always, really missing your reactions on newer videos tho. Longthorn shotgun and bish bash bosh are some of their best! Please give them a go!
everyone always pauses it on hp printer and doesn't catch the next line about hoping that it doesn't jam which is a double because printers can jam and guns can jam.
"Get hit with the drip, like a Christian christening, Jesus Christ" is actually way too fucking cold, I find myself saying that line out loud often lmao. Bas is a terminator, scientifically engineered to exterminate these beats.
The word play is honestly a madness if they are writing all these themselves they're the best in the UK and if they aren't writing it I wanna know who is
Just realised they've blocked the 'Can't be us' reaction 😔🤮 Used to love watching that reaction to get hyped up on a dull day... Back to the Drake & Headie reaction for now.
Don’t have a clue what they said one time can’t even understand them their far from good rappers their just old old old men their grandpas but they’re actually funny but people watch to take the piss at first but realise they are actually a set of funny cunts and stand out a mile coz their about 70 why so many people will like them
Can we appreciate the step up in Pete’s lyricism as of this year! He’s smashing it ☠️
Not to mention he easily outdid bas on flows which usually doesn’t happen
He stepped up on Browns too!
Released this year, but recorded and previewed last year! 🔥
@@deanosaur808 Browns one of there best.
💯🔥luv these an every track is up there the rest these rappers r absolute shit the choooonne tho ong these r historic wow they so fucking good

Gundam is 43 years old.. created when Pete was 29, and bas 33 🤣
Still I doubt they ever heard of it before this track 😂
Bas also had a very nice geometry bar
My favourite bar ppl are missing is the Martin Luther king bar. “ had a dream like Martin Luther, fell asleep to the sound of the hoover” a big theory on who killed mlk was the CIA. Who was famously run by j Edgar hoover .
@@finnmarr-heenan2397 glad you caught that lol
The Michelin line was my favorite. Pete went from tires immediately into cooking up some good grub.
this is the best beat they’ve been on, 91 shots went crazy
Those beat switches are absolutely bonkers
He went nuts
Literally was looking to see If you did this reaction yet and you hadn't and literally now you pop up! Thank you ! 👍💪👊
Same 😂😂
Same
The things with the bars on this is that they are LAAAAAAAAYERED and hidden in plain sight. Some of them may not register on immediate first listen, but when you process it more, it's like "oh.."
I love that my two favorite UK Drill breakdown/reaction channels are fans of each other. :D
no not his fave song but 8.5? really? nah 10/10 for everything in the song innit as you say
People have not even caught that Pete started and ended with a gun scheme. He started busting shots like a luger to having a submachine gun at the end
@@silverskins1390 It's >>his

The new
“Mess with the cake and I’ll battenberg him” the coldest line on there without a doubt
you missed the kippling bar that links it right after (mr kippling is a brand that makes battenberg cakes in the uk)
''He mess with the cake then I'll Battenberg him
Kipling, missed him
Run up in his house and gripped him''
True inspirations these 2. showing everyone anything’s possible with some application and not taking yourself too serious
The way they pick each other up is just
It's no secret that I love Pete and Bas. They get better with each track. They obviously take their music seriously. This is definitely a three man show, Pete, Bas and 91 shots. 91 shots is truly the beat whisperer.

Could double as a play off "gurney", putting them in the hospital.
They are either geniuses - the modern equivalent of Shakespeare and Marlowe - and spend endless hours concocting this stuff, or they have a team of cultural historians with (half-) rhyming dictionaries piecing their bars together.
I'm not sure which is more credible.
Love the fact you don't dis them on their age, no laughing, etc. Just respecting the lyrics and talent. 🔥
FINALLY 😁. I Was worried the time had passed and you wouldn't swing back to this one but I'm gassed to see this now. Thank you LeetotheVI 🙏🏾
they keep setting the levels, pure madness every tune
these guys don't stop!!!
This is easily their best song for me, some stellar bars the beat and their back and forth, hard!!! An easy 8.5/10
I physically fist pumped when I saw this. I just got off a long shift, got my food, smoked a bowl and seen this to watch. God bless you lee
right on bro ive been waiting for this and i just got home with a bunch of snacks
I almost did a number three! 😅
The flow switch, beat switch and bars 🤯they are too smooth with it
keep up the hard work brother. i appreciate your consistency, keep it up!
Lee was slipping this vid, missed a lot of the coldest bars
Miss the old style vids, not feeling the twitch chat. He definitely wasn't going as deep on the bars at all.
@@AdamChopdat yep, the twitch chat and first reaction is cool for some stuff but he misses half of the song in this format
@@AdamChopdat think that’s maybe why he missed a few points, with the prerecorded vids he would’ve had more time to sit with the song. Definitely agree tho not feeling the streams too much
Felt like he wasn't really engaged
Ngl, I’m the same with these 2🤣🤣. He just loves them so much that it’s a vibe as soon as they start rapping. You just forget to listen cause the sound is so nice alone
Flows and wordplay, i think this is the best thing they have done so far
Been waaaaaaaitinggg for this since I dropped my reaction! Let's gooo
If you know UK slang and pop culture, they’re even more incredible. Every other line has a double or triple meaning.
Michelin is a tire company, but also the five-star rating system used for restaurants.
Mr. Benn was a character on a kids tv show from the 1970’s. He would change into various clothes in his walk-in closet and then step out into whatever time/place/scenario his costume dictated.

Battenberg is a cake made in a checkerboard pattern … but also slang for an ambulance (because of the checkered pattern on the side). “Mess with the cake and I’ll Battenberg him” is a phenomenal bar.
Knock Down Ginger is what we call “Ding Dong Ditch” here in the States.
Mash = gun (in another one of their songs, Bas says he’s “banging that mash like English Breakfast”, which is just brilliant because “bangers and mash” is a traditional breakfast in the UK.)
Ben Sherman = men’s clothing line (a bit dated, LOL)
HMP = Her majesty’s prison
Chain hang like bollocks = his chains are so heavy they swing like his manly bits
Cone get split like Chevron = splitting your head open like the V in the Chevron symbol
Also … Bas used to be a bare knuckle fighter in the day and I forget which gang Pete ran with. The stuff they rap about … pig farms, bodies in the trash and cementing people into buildings is straight mob shit.
I love these guys. They make my heart smile every day. They also scare the crap out of me because I’m pretty sure they’re serious. 😂😂😂
this explanation really adds to the fun. thank you
Nowhere in the uk has bangers and mash as breakfast
@@milkorangejuice8375 why did they use it in their bar though?
the old boys got better bars an flows than most man nowadays😂 could imagine these on a dark night long black coat top hat walking stick an shotty tucked😂
Was definitely looking for your reaction to this. No one break’s it down like you
All those jokers chiming in with their marks out of 10 was hilarious lol
Happy Thanksgiving from Chicago bruv. Another great reaction from the best!! God bless 🙏🏾
anyone else just like how leevi sounds lol. i dunno why but i could listen to man do voice overs all day
I have been waiiiiiiting for this one 🙏🏾 can’t wait for the reaction bro
Pete definitely improved a lot and he wasn't bad to begin with.
His lyricism play is the best out of the two, but Pete has stepped up his flow and cadence from what he once was which was meh
Wtf did someone in the live really say "some of their bars are cringe" 🤦🏼♂️
Been waiting for this one and the World Cup track, Pete and Bas never disappoint
Never fail to disappoint? Do you understand what you wrote??
Maybe I need to sleep 🤣🤣🤣
@@deanosaur808 oh shit🤣 edit.
😂😂
The music and sampled were 🔥back and forth between them was 🔥! 9.0
I'm from the US, so what do you consider a 10/10? because all these bars are hard. Especially from two old men in their 70's compared to this younger generation.
Tin/Tin, the comic
This is 20/20 bro much love to the states my guy 💯
Not sure if they're referring to Ben 10 as well since they bounce off each other like the "kiss the curb" part.
Ben 10 is a cartoon in 2005 where he shifts into different aliens. Then 10/10 is also tin tin the comics.
Hi Lee, long time no speak! 😉 Loved your reaction to this one and this is the first time I've heard Pete and Bas!! I'm on board, they are so much better than I had expected! But yeah, great reaction. Love Paula 🙂 xx
Naaah Bass with “like candles, Wax. Put it in a box, rectangle.” F cold man
i been watching for a while now n everytime i watch i alwayssss think howw the fuckkk does this dude not have 1mil yet?! keep up the BANGING work brother
Luv it fucking smashed it ffs 🔥 just gers u gripped it's just up there higher than most the beat an flows r on point
Must have watched 50 reactions on this vid, yours is in the top 5, first time viewer subscribed for sure. 8.5 ringadingding on the fruit machine. 🎉
I love Pete and Bas, they stay on demon time 😂😂😂 No ghostwriters for these chaps and you can tell they’ve spent time in the Ends coming up
Someone needs to do their biopic
just realised the dipped bar was a triple entendre, Obviously the literal meaning, then the dipped as in stabbed, but after the line about christening he’s talking about getting dipped in water
Love how he calls Freddy flintoff and Freddy Kruger “Fredrick” 😂
Every time I think Pete & Bas have peaked they go next level!!!!!!!! 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 That beat changed 3 times yet they're sat in pocket....BARS AND FLOWS!!! Big reactions once again Lee
Thought we was never gonna get it, c’mon 🔥
there's no scale in the world this song rates lower than a 9. the lyricism was top notch, it was back to back bars. bas went tf off with his themes and scheming. and the cadences were creative and catchy asf. the beat was mental. come the fuck on lmao
Dreams like Martin Luther nightmares about the FBI (Hoover) sneaky. Love it.
Been looking for this one, great as always!
didn’t think we’d get this reaction!
large up the channel
anytime i see Pete and Bas have dropped something new i always come to this channel for the reaction
They probably tucked away a couple of 40 year old women ...... you funny c! I fucking collapsed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DREAM like Martin Luther,
fall ASLEEP to the sound of the hoover,
NIGHTMARE like Frederick Kruger,
SLEEP with the fishes now he's tuna...
So you got the SLEEP theme but what you didn't notice. Was the line after about Black or White we can be brothers go's back to the first line about Martin Luthers dream

Absolutely love this reaction
Pete And Bas are one of the best rappers in the UK
I'm pretty happy you made this video. I didn't know you streamed on Twitch. Maybe I will see you over there.
Excellent reaction. You got the midden bars, which is appreciated.
The cockney element is a huge part of the geezer swagger. If you know you know. I'm a geezer I know plenty men that can talk on beat ❤
YEESSSSSS!!!! I was waiting for you to react to this!
YALL CRAZZZYYYY SAYING THIS IS 7.5 THIS 11.5 OUT OF 10 BRUHHH THAT OLD SPITTING PFFFTT MANNN

No one mentioning the mr ben line 😅
Great reaction as always, really missing your reactions on newer videos tho. Longthorn shotgun and bish bash bosh are some of their best! Please give them a go!
Says he's here for bars and flow. Pauses and repeats.
Tucked away a couple of 40’s . Don’t doubt it
Instant watch as always. Keep at it, much love
Bmt ive watched all ur pete and bas vids but all the missed bars means these two have reached levels upon LEVELS
This reaction got me in silly stitches 😂🤣🤣🤣💯 can’t stop laughing man high still 🤣🤣😂😂😂
GOAT out of 10
Uk got you!😂😊
everyone always pauses it on hp printer and doesn't catch the next line about hoping that it doesn't jam which is a double because printers can jam and guns can jam.
🔥 I DONT EVEN CARE from the uk these smashed drill through the roof
These 2 crack me up... Blessings 💓
You’ve got to do Windowframe Cypher II its 🔥
The two Northern Boys tracks on the same channel are hilarious as well
The Big Bang Theory double is so good
how this men have not reach 1m sub yet
thanks man, will you do more pete and bas, like 'stepped into the building' 'bish bash bosh' mugshot freestyle, quick 1-2,
Beat of the year
dropping the Freddy Kruger Government name lol
Pete and bas are funny af 🤣🤣🤣
"Get hit with the drip, like a Christian christening, Jesus Christ" is actually way too fucking cold, I find myself saying that line out loud often lmao. Bas is a terminator, scientifically engineered to exterminate these beats.
Bird and thunder bro thunder birds 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
wtf that's another, what's the minimum number of words required for a bar
The word play is honestly a madness if they are writing all these themselves they're the best in the UK and if they aren't writing it I wanna know who is
Pete and bas are what xxxtentacion and skimask the slumpgod wanted to be
Just realised they've blocked the 'Can't be us' reaction 😔🤮
Used to love watching that reaction to get hyped up on a dull day... Back to the Drake & Headie reaction for now.
Pete and bas the best out there
RESPECT 🇯🇲
10 10 mate
Can we see the new pete and bas tracks bro, love your reactions to them ha
From 3:44 to 3:51 yeah I’m gonna need that clip
“Not really feeling it too much” yeah yeah course bro 🤣 BumBush23 is just mad these guys can rap better than most of his top 10 rappers 😂
I wasn't feeling it at first.. now my hands are full of splinters 😂
It's definitely one of their best for me.. Top 5 for Pete & Bas, 8/10 🔥🔥🔥
Seriously easily their best stuff. I mean if you miss their bars you have to go back and re listen and there are hidden gems here.
Don’t have a clue what they said one time can’t even understand them their far from good rappers their just old old old men their grandpas but they’re actually funny but people watch to take the piss at first but realise they are actually a set of funny cunts and stand out a mile coz their about 70 why so many people will like them
Any chance you react to INK again, maybe Bad Intentions or INK Plugged in W/Fumez The Engineer | Pressplay. Would be interested what you thought
I'd love to see them do a song with gigs
The beat changed every time someone new started spitting
Finally !!!!
noti gang
this beat is fire!!!
