If you’ve ever tried to freestyle and genuinely do it impressively, you’d be able to tell that Scru killed it. You really think Scru wrote that shit before the video, waited until the very end, spit the shit and then tried to front like it was off the top? Scru ain’t that type. He really did just bust out rapping on the fly, spit like 12 bars, rapped most of it on the same 3-syllable rhyme scheme, and maintained a smooth ass flow the whole time. That shit is super hard to pull off, which is why none of these major rappers ever actually freestyle in their radio station appearances. You’d know if you actually tried it yourself, but Scru gave us a textbook lesson on freestyling here.
The thing is though his album is still selling right now. Many albums that sell 30k first week fizzle out but new people are finding out about it and it’s gonna be selling years from now too.
I love the pocket he goes in when the beat slows down. Shits crazy. JID is definitely the future. Glad he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves. Would love to see Scru get a collab eventually!!
Man, you reacting to JID's new album is what spurred me to start listening to full albums when I listen to artist's music. I loved every second of the album, and before that I had only heard a couple of JID's most popular tracks or features on other tracks. Now I've listened to every album he's made, as well as most of Kendrick Lamar, Joey Badass, and Denzel Curry's discography, and I have others downloaded that Im getting to soon. I'm never going back, as an aspiring rapper/musician myself, absorbing the full experience and information of an album has been so useful to learning how to better my pen game, and helps me realize so much more about how you should structure music to create the right vibes to resonate with people.
Good stuff man, there is definitely a lotttt to be learnt from actually listening to music that's meant to be a full experience. I would recommend listening to some recent Tyler and some Steve Lacy aswell
We did it Scru! I'm a very causal music listener but I've found myself really going out of my way to dive into his new album, learning the story behind the lyrics and all.
I searched for a reaction for this specific video. I'll be watching your reaction to JIDs album. I think you're dead on. JID is the future. So crisp, clean, his cadence is Jazz, and ever since he signed with Cole you can see JID come to fruition because he's surrounded by his artist brothers and sisters. Good call my man, you have a new sub!
Recently came into JID , luv all of it, hes incredibly talented ❤want more ❤i have older sister she passed away few yrs ago his music is so unique and I'm so here for it. It is like your there. This my 2nd time watching this concert.
There's so many good tiny desks that I wish more people would react to. Anderson Paak, Tyler the Creator, and Run the Jewels are a few of my favorites.
We did it SCRU your freestyle went crazy at the end W video Jid and the band snapped on this one and the backup singers as well had very beautiful voices they went crazy as well 💯💯💯💯😭🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes been saying you need to do this! Glad you did it's beautiful! We did it Scru. SCRU AND JiD! They should do a remix of the last song with Lauren Hill though would be amazing
I know everyone says I’ve been talking about thsi and that artist for years and shit, I’m a day one, but the thing is it’s true for JID I remember hearing him years ago and being so into it and being so mad he wasn’t getting respect. People still don’t get how good he is and will become. Ima just let it happen and know where he came from. Can’t wait. Amazing
We did it scru!!! Love this album but it’s tainted with a heavy heart as I had a best friend called Tim abs JID was his favourite artist and we were so hype for his album but he decided the rest of his life was too hard so he took it a week before this was released .. it’s going to forever be cemented in my mind ..kind of ironic considering the album title .. I just wanna the tell as many people in this world what amazing guy Tim was because he deserves it !! Sorry for the dark post I just really miss my friend .. love the work Scru ❤️🙏
this felt like when you with your homie, and trying to show him a dope video, be he's just on his phone while its playing hahah. much love, you gotta do more tiny desks.
We did it Scru!!! Your reaction and freestyle at end where just as good the 4th time watching this through haha. I just enjoy your commentary over this amazing performance
JID the truth his breathing control to keep those flows going most artist take breaks here and there then hit the next line but kid does it all and sounds exactly like the albums
Oh and his first week was 30K but that's non adjusted he has to submit for the singles streams prior to release of LP I think he's gonna be half way to Gold after next week, at least 200k adjusted...would be my estimate. The way he's kept up his exposure... Maybe he will get gold his first month. He's been in the eye wayyy more than usual. I'm shocked being under Cole's wing he's still so under the radar. He carried Surround Sound as a single onto this LP and Dance Now already his #4 popular streaming on Tidal at least... Those singles gonna make the album. Surround Sound his #1 recent popular single and it moved the same equivalents as his whole LP it's first week so, yeah. That's 60k first week(s) banked plus single sales on Dance Now. Maybe 85K just those 3 data points alone.
Everyone seems to miss how he slightly changes lyrics in his songs. When he started NEVER he said, "Never been a bitch, Now I got a Rollie on the wrist." Whereas, in the original song, he said, "Never been a bitch, never had a Rollie on the wrist." Just a slight change, but it changes the narrative and it really makes the song feel like it's breathing; like it's living. As he evolves and changes, so does the meaning behind his music. He is able to make his music timeless with ease, and that's one of the most prominent reasons why he's the future of hip hop in my humble opinion. Most self-aware person in hip hop right now.
I hope this can open ip some more NPR tiny desk reactions.. there are a ton of amazing performances ther.. maybe check out SIR, Saba, freddy gibbs and madlib, the internet, and thundercat
Yo, I wouldn't mind a SCREW & JID song, and that freestyle was absolutely FLAMES, but come on, Scru. They had us soulful and ya interrupted it, bro. I get you though man, yeah, I heard you start bussin and I wanted to do it too. Thanks for sharing this though, Scru. JID x SFJ for 2023.
When JID started singing I felt as though I was ascending. Bro has an amazing voice.
Dude said he put in mad work with a voice coach and you can tell on this album. Floating on the beats.
WE DID IT SCRU! No cap your freestyle was fiiire. I know that was genuinely off the dome so that was mad impressive. 🔥🔥
How do you “know”

@@rileyreno3884 shit my bad, didn’t finish the vid lmao. thought you was talkin bout the sru’d up freestyle he dropped couple days ago
@@stondejohn LOL shit alright, sorry I got a little fired up on you homie. 🤦🏻♂️😂
@@rileyreno3884 you good bro 😂
"If you're not paying attention to JID right now.. you're not paying attention to hip hop"
REALEST SHIT IVE EVER HEARD. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
JID sold 30k first week. Needs to be more!!
He can actually rap. The young kids like junk food rap.. but this album is amazing..
DISRESPECTFUL. DISHEARTENING. WILD.
30k…? Wtf dude
Damn... How do companies and artists even make profit with sales like those?
The thing is though his album is still selling right now. Many albums that sell 30k first week fizzle out but new people are finding out about it and it’s gonna be selling years from now too.
You WILL get that JID feature. Manifesting it now.
Inshallah im not even Muslim 🙏🙏 big thangs for Scru
Big facts! It’s gonna happen and I can’t wait until that day comes!
J.I.D ft. S.F.J 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love the pocket he goes in when the beat slows down. Shits crazy. JID is definitely the future. Glad he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves. Would love to see Scru get a collab eventually!!
I know this comment from somewhere🤧, but I'll "like" it again
We did it SCRU! Man that was such a beautiful JID performance and I’m manifesting that feature bro! Your ready for it! Let’s GO!

Excited for you, definitely get to Kanye’s full albums too
That was me with the never story, first time listening to the albums to the fullest
What have I been missing? Holy shit this man is incredible.
We did it Scru!
We did it Scru!
I'm a very causal music listener but I've found myself really going out of my way to dive into his new album, learning the story behind the lyrics and all.
9:30 THE VOCAL INFLECTIONS especially that switch to the deadpan "with"
He says “wait”
@@JPdraws_he doesnt
The fact that they prepared this in 2 days is still crazy to me
Bro read the song list and said "bet"

When them singers hit that “where the fuck you at” so freaking dope that band too nice
Fr a modern Tiny Desk classic JID hangin with Anderson Paak and T-Pain this is just the beginning for my man
I put Denzel's and Usher's up there too
For me I put Mac Miller up there too
Can’t mention the best tiny desks without mentioning Mac
Recently came into JID , luv all of it, hes incredibly talented ❤want more ❤i have older sister she passed away few yrs ago his music is so unique and I'm so here for it. It is like your there. This my 2nd time watching this concert.
This is by far the dopest concert I’ve ever seen! So bad ass on so many levels 👏🏼
SANGING!! Sis killed that shit goddamn. Never turned me onto J.i.d., and man The Forever Story is incredible.
Camerom calm down
16:40 That transition was so smoothhh
When them singers hit that “where the fuck you at” so freaking dope
We did it Scru. That was amazing. JID time is right now on God.
0:52 this man really said “i see ed sheeran” 💀💀💀
We did it Scruuuuu!!!!!! Loved the video. I'm glad JID's on your radar!!
22:55 the JID aura took over😂😂😂😂
Screw&JID
I stumbled upon his tiny desk concert and was pleasantly surprised. He has a new fan.
No Cap. Working Out is one of my fav JID Songs.
Wasgoing through reactions for Tiny Desks after JID dropped this and was surprised to see how few people reacted to the Mac Miller one.
There's so many good tiny desks that I wish more people would react to. Anderson Paak, Tyler the Creator, and Run the Jewels are a few of my favorites.
@@aaronevans4474 tpain is a banger
@@jacobgushue866 absolutely, I think it's the first one I ever watched
@@aaronevans4474 Anderson Paak's tiny desk is legendary
We did it SCRU your freestyle went crazy at the end W video Jid and the band snapped on this one and the backup singers as well had very beautiful voices they went crazy as well 💯💯💯💯😭🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yo when you hit them with the “shamanaya” made me laugh so hard. Love your reactions man. Really enjoy watching your videos. Jid is so good
This was awesome! Scru and JID! That’s a collab that’s coming one day for sure 🙏🏽🔥
Yes been saying you need to do this! Glad you did it's beautiful! We did it Scru.
SCRU AND JiD! They should do a remix of the last song with Lauren Hill though would be amazing
Dude I agree 100%
JID is killing it and is on another level
I know everyone says I’ve been talking about thsi and that artist for years and shit, I’m a day one, but the thing is it’s true for JID I remember hearing him years ago and being so into it and being so mad he wasn’t getting respect.

this felt like when you with your homie, and trying to show him a dope video, be he's just on his phone while its playing hahah. much love, you gotta do more tiny desks.
JID and Denzel are top of my radar rn, if we could get a song with those two, Kendrick, and FlyLo producing, maaan the world wouldn't be ready
We did it Scru!!! Your reaction and freestyle at end where just as good the 4th time watching this through haha. I just enjoy your commentary over this amazing performance
JID the truth his breathing control to keep those flows going most artist take breaks here and there then hit the next line but kid does it all and sounds exactly like the albums
We did it scru! That freestyle off the top!! Man!! You killed it ma G! 😂😂
Freestyle at the end was fire, second video of yours I watch, subscribing. Keep doing your thing king.
You speaking facts @ 3:10
I was thinking the same thing when I watched the concert on my own.
Oh and his first week was 30K but that's non adjusted he has to submit for the singles streams prior to release of LP I think he's gonna be half way to Gold after next week, at least 200k adjusted...would be my estimate.

“Imma sing on like JID did in this song” Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh THAT’s A BAR!!!!!!
We did it Scru. The freestyle was fire
Scru should probably go back to the one JID did with Christo at Vanderbilt university. Fye as always!
The man snapped, and I subbed, easy like that.
