To be honest, I think they did start out as a novelty act. Then they saw how popular they got so they kept at it. The crazy thing is they just kept improving. If you were to listen to one of their first tracks and compared it, they’re levels above where they were. Just proves that you can teach an old dog new tricks.
We all need to give cred to whoever does the music for them .Music brings alot of people together that's what's great about ! I always listen to new music to give them a chance! 🤟😎
According to Weird Wide Web, Peter Bowditch is a retired Royal Mail worker, a 73-year-old with a goatee and a dodgy right knee picked up from years of judo. Basil Belgrave is 77 and a trained pianist who exudes a slightly spivvish air. Together, they are the rap duo Pete and Bas. Pete discovered he liked rap when his granddaughter played it on his car stereo. Supposedly, they write their own material with the help of their grandkids.
@@saintdon4461That's just a fan story because they're consultants for the label that was started around Pete and Bas' act in 2017. They're not actually related. They did help Pete and Bas develop their flows though. You can tell that they use a lot of the same ones as Nine and Dex starting at around the time they hopped on with the label.
they did a couple of interviews - Bas has been in music his whole life - and worked on cruise ships apparently, and also did some work with a couple of famous bands - mentioned the New Faces who were around in the late 60s (I think) - so not much of a leap for rhythms and beats. He knows music - and not an amateur. Also they are Londoners - and Cockney rhyming slang started in the mid 19th century - so that sort of rhyming is in your subconsious/DNA. They said they started in 2017 and have worked at it and just aim to keep improving. So they are not passive in this - and they are taking this seriously and it shows. This is my favourite
Thank you fellas, for letting the music play through and then talking about it. The praise is cool too but, sometimes you just got to hear these guys do their thing 🙂 thank you for that again
Bro, y'all have some catching up to do lol. Btw, the tall one is Bas.. Check out Plugged In with Fumez, Sindhu Sesh, Quick 1-2, Longthorne Shotgun.. All fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They write and sing, their grandsons produce, and do the beats and help them with the slang and "modern lingo". But they do all there own lyrics and bars and structuring and all that.
They write their own lyrics. Their grandsons help with modern lingo. That is it. You have got to hit Mr. Worldwide, Sindhu Sesh and Bish Bash Bosh. They go extra hard on those!
@@Adam-zh4hm well, they’ve interviewed both them and their grandsons about it, and Baz was also a music teacher and mult- instrumentalist as well. But sure, you know everything so….
It’s seriously one of the dopest things in hip hop history from a purely lyrical standpoint (not to mention the beat switches and 91 Shots being an absolute monster) and will go criminally overlooked or under appreciated probably forever
Respect to you guys, you're breaking down Pete and Bas really nicely. Please, I'm so keen to see you react, you gotta see/hear P & B with Fumez, Longhorn Shotgun, Quick Little 1/2, Browns and ... ...
Fun fact about “complimentary colors”… it’s actually complementary and not “complimentary”. Complementary needs to complete. For example red and green are complements because each reflect the light frequencies the other doesn’t. The analogy still works but just figured I’d share
That is always been my argument as well. If they had a ghostwriter why would this guy not be selling it to the big boys that his stuff might actually make it on the radio. Why would a Ghost Rider be wasting these bars on some 70 year old dudes in the UK? When it comes down to it, no matter who writes the bars it's the delivery you cannot fake.
Please try a British 90's dance track Bass o matic with fascinating rhythm it's brilliant! It's got a rap twist in the middle well worth a listen!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Longthorne shotgun please!! The double bars are crazy. Would love to hear you guys!! Get into the rabbit hole and your viewer numbers would go nuts!! These guys literally play word-form like an art, 90% better than the youngin’s today!!
luv these guys and they doing a live show in my home town soon in margate , kent , the newest track was good even for them check out BISH BASH BOSH its a banger from these lads
Here's a new duet to give a listen, if interested. "Rufus and Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody [HD Remastered] {Official Video}" (by the channel: Chaka Khan) -This song is by American funk band Rufus and Chaka Khan it was released in 1983 as a bonus track on their Live album called "Stomin' At The Savoy." Chaka Khan is another incredible powerhouse "soul queen" with lots more hits to explore in future. And as always, I enjoyed rocking with you fellas. Thanks for sharing. peace out~
And Two more thing....Need to listen to the Plugged in with Fumes one too..one of they best ones...also .they have.. friends that colab with them sometimes called the Snooker Team. They old too... and Two of them they shit too. Patrick... and Norman Pain.
You are failing in your duties if you don't start reacting to... Pete & Bas - Sindhu Sesh Pete & Bas - Plugged In W/Fumez The Engineer And then there are a lot more!
If y'all wanna REALLY go down the Pete and Bas rabbit hole, y'all need to watch them rap with their friends. Golf ft. Norman Pain is a great one. But I say the 2 Window Frame Cyphers are the best introduction to the rest of their entourage. If you want more old man rap to go down, Norman Pain raps with a guy named PKJ aka Patrick Karneigh Junior, and they go by the name "the northern boys".... their stuff isn't anywhere NEAR as good as Pete and Bas in my opinion, mainly cause it's WAYYYYYYY out of left field and off the wall.
I love watching people Discover Pete and Baz

Pete and baz are currently on tour in Europe, they are legit.

their grandkids are nine and dex..check out their track, pecan pie and you will see the likeness
@@saintdon4461 Nine and Dex are really good. Ignorant Sh**, Pecan Pie, Jesus Piece.
@@SolemnStacker i agree

Bro, y'all have some catching up to do lol. Btw, the tall one is Bas.. Check out Plugged In with Fumez, Sindhu Sesh, Quick 1-2, Longthorne Shotgun.. All fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
( Bish bash bosh ) are also🔥🔥
Do One and Shut Your Mouth 🔥
I see a Pete & Bas reaction, I instantly press like! 😀
The flow is freaking amazing!
They write and sing, their grandsons produce, and do the beats and help them with the slang and "modern lingo". But they do all there own lyrics and bars and structuring and all that.
Now P&B- BISH BASH BOSH!!!!!!!💪are you ready ???✌️
Seen them live. They are on point.
Background guys are all rappers/singers. Legit crew!
So we heard!! Their cypher reaction is coming!
Both of them when young were real gangsters pete used to run with the tray twins .
Just so you know.
Bas says ‘locked in an HMP’ in Sindhu Sesh >> Her Majesties Prison. Guy’s done time.
Watch them perform live on stage its the real deal
Holy $H¡T!!!!!
Thanks, Gents, for the introduction to this!
I recommend the Violent Femmes and The Pretenders get in your queue of reactions.
Keep them coming! Pete and Bas!
Pete n Bas Longthorne Shotgun !!! its there BEST SONG BY FAR!!!!
You guys need to check out Pete and Bas more, that "entourage" 100% gets on the mic.
This is how you do a reaction video. Not pausing every 3 seconds. Let it play and then review 👌🏾
"sidechick sitting in the car, wife pissed off" goes soooo hard
They write their own lyrics. Their grandsons help with modern lingo. That is it.
You have got to hit Mr. Worldwide, Sindhu Sesh and Bish Bash Bosh. They go extra hard on those!
All this was exactly what I was coming here to say😁💯
They don't, if you believe that you'll believe anything 😂
@@Adam-zh4hm well, they’ve interviewed both them and their grandsons about it, and Baz was also a music teacher and mult- instrumentalist as well. But sure, you know everything so….
@@tparmenter you're naive enough to take everything they say in interviews as facts?
@@Adam-zh4hm dude, believe what you want. You do you. I’m not about argue with some rando who I don’t know.
Like, how can anyone not have fun with this?!?! This is so hilarious!! Love the reaction and the content!!!
y'all def gotta keep goin on them, they write all of it just with slang consultation from they kin
oh and they also have posse tracks lol
Have to listen to their song... General's Corner 👍
They do write themselves. And you should check Pete and Bas drop . The Gentlemen. Fire trust me
The dudes in the back can definitely do it. Not pete and bas level but they can get down. Check you Window Fram Cypher pt 1 & 2
Love these!!! ❤❤❤. Definitely makes me smile!!! 😁
That did put a smile on my face but shows that with the right editing, almost anything is possible.
They’ve done sold out UK and European tours. Can’t edit that.
Just love the old geezers 🇬🇧 cheers.
Avelino 101barz 🔥 🔥🔥
Great reaction, the newest one is “bish bash bosh” you will not be disappointed, thank you again Gents, loved it 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍
Long live Pete & Bas! 🔥
I love that they have a whole posse of old British guys.
Seen the live, seen the freestyle. They are great.
Wait till you hear them go crazy on Sindhu Sesh. They go real bar heavy on that one and they have like five beat changes
It’s seriously one of the dopest things in hip hop history from a purely lyrical standpoint (not to mention the beat switches and 91 Shots being an absolute monster) and will go criminally overlooked or under appreciated probably forever
Check out Nine & Dex. They’re the grandsons of Pete & bas. They write there lyrics and Pete & bas spit them. True OG grandads 👀
Pete and Bas ! Mr Worldwide!
You must listen to Golf, definitely a fave
do their grandkids next 'nine and dex-pecan pie'..they do the beats and help with the lyrics..
Great reaction.. your next one is definitely got to be longthorne shotgun thank you in advance.all the way from UK bless
Respect to you guys, you're breaking down Pete and Bas really nicely. Please, I'm so keen to see you react, you gotta see/hear P & B with Fumez, Longhorn Shotgun, Quick Little 1/2, Browns and ... ...
they are proper London gangsters xx
Never heard this before, liked your reaction, have you reacted to Ghost town by the specials yet? Think you would like it.
A proper reaction on yt 🤯 excellent!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pete and BAs - Bish Bosh Bash
Simone, please tell them to try some more Jamiroquai 🙏🏼
I think they write their own.
No
Windowframe 1 & 2 worth checking also. ;)
Very cool
oh gosh PLEASE react to 'Bish Bash Bosh' by them! you'll love it. all their songs are so diverse
2:33 literally the first channel from the us I have heard actually say their names correctly
They are legit. It is true that their grandchildren help them with the new slang, but they write the old school bars from their era with new words
Best reaction because you didn't stop every 15 seconds 👍
Mr Worldwide is my favorite one
Fun fact about “complimentary colors”… it’s actually complementary and not “complimentary”. Complementary needs to complete. For example red and green are complements because each reflect the light frequencies the other doesn’t. The analogy still works but just figured I’d share
Also listen to Longhorn Shotgun..n Golf. And they do right they own shit. ..but grandkids help with the new lingo.
Yall gotta check sindhu sesh!!! 🔥🔥🔥 great reaction and insiteful!
P&B bringing the entertainment!
That is always been my argument as well. If they had a ghostwriter why would this guy not be selling it to the big boys that his stuff might actually make it on the radio. Why would a Ghost Rider be wasting these bars on some 70 year old dudes in the UK?
When it comes down to it, no matter who writes the bars it's the delivery you cannot fake.
Listen to their grandkids music, their music is this same exact stuff, they’re definitely writing it, sorry to break your heart
Bish Bash Bosh and LongThorne Shotgun next please ❤🔥🔥
You guys should do a reaction video on Johnny Winter jumpin Jack flash... Off the Johnny Winter and live album!! Great great tunes
Please try a British 90's dance track Bass o matic with fascinating rhythm it's brilliant! It's got a rap twist in the middle well worth a listen!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Longthorne shotgun please!! The double bars are crazy.
Would love to hear you guys!!
Get into the rabbit hole and your viewer numbers would go nuts!! These guys literally play word-form like an art, 90% better than the youngin’s today!!
Forgot to mention Sindhu Sesh from them too. Would love to hear you break down some of those lyrics!! Love it 10s10s 10s
Bish bash bosh is a favourite too.
Fire❤
These guys hit hard!
Have a listen to Alexei Sayle - Didn't you kill my brother?
They write their own music. If you listen to their old songs you'll see they use the same words.
luv these guys and they doing a live show in my home town soon in margate , kent , the newest track was good even for them check out BISH BASH BOSH its a banger from these lads

I’m 65 ,believe me you never stop being like this ,we think about sex and stuff more than ever ,it does help that Pete is sex god
Bish bash bos.
React to Bish Bash Bosh that's their best so far!
They write about their lives as actual gangsters working for the kray brothers
Bas reminds me of Krayzie Bone on this one.
☝️👏❤️🔥
british people can be pretty awesome lol
Do yourself a favor: P&B feat. the Snooker Team: Windowframe Cypher II
Just heard a snippet! We were wrong! Whole crew spits!! Next up!!!!!
Bish bash boss
These 2 old bastards legit AF
You are failing in your duties if you don't start reacting to...
Pete & Bas - Sindhu Sesh
Pete & Bas - Plugged In W/Fumez The Engineer
And then there are a lot more!
Hey don’t be hating on the snooker room crew… Some of them can spit bars too
When you guy's going to review Nicky Gracious? Bars and truth get spit with Nicky...
Chur brothers
You guys are great But how about ......steely Dan ..kid charlemagne
their sauciest hook, no doubt
If y'all wanna REALLY go down the Pete and Bas rabbit hole, y'all need to watch them rap with their friends. Golf ft. Norman Pain is a great one. But I say the 2 Window Frame Cyphers are the best introduction to the rest of their entourage.

We are on it!
