One of my favourite things about following Mick over the years is hearing all the creative ways he finds to reframe and repurpose his use of Water as a metaphor for Truth. It's laced throughout every album, sprinkled in places you don't expect it and places you do. Dude is wildly creative.
Mick really is manny pacqiao with them punches and flows. Hes just got his own lane and own unique way of doing it. I think he already is on par with the best of the best but just didnt get the recognition yet. Thats why these reactions are so important. Much love!
For real, there are not many doing what he does, flow, wordplay, bars and content wise. And the way he flips his flow sometimes my god i can't get enough
The youth don't have the focus or attention span to sit down and listen to this man's beautiful poetry. They want quick rushes of boosted bass and auto tune they can throw on in the car or at the gym or just in the background. To them, Drake is as good as it gets lyrically.
@@oaklandish89 Well said. One of the best comments I've seen regarding that. It's definitely the attention span. Just something to turn up to and do drugs to
@@oaklandish89 im sorry but i dont agree with you guys, i know that a lot of people listen to music just to hear dope shit but i know people that are 16, like me and liste to this and try to actually understant. Im not even english but i love to hear what black music and specially what black hip hop brings to the world.
Rodney Mullen reference after Tony Hawk. Rodney is considered one of the most inventive skaters from that era, but never saw the fame from skating that Tony did. He's a very interesting dude. You should check out his TEd talk.
For ,” things you could die for if doing while black “ most of those references to police shootings. B. Taylor - sleep in my bed A. Arbery- go for a jog E. Gardner- selling loose cigarettes Etc
Glad you guys did this. People sleeping heavy. I’ve been through this one many times now and it keeps getting better. One of my favs from this year. Now just waiting on that new earl sweatshirt project and also Freddie Gibbs.
You guys are awesome for this kinda consistency 🔥🔥🔥 I've been watching y'all for a minute, the quality of the content y'all were dropping back then was already high and it's only risen ever since 🙏🏽❤️ Y'all still listen to underground artist regardless of the fact that y'all know it won't get views... You guys are awesome
I'm seeing ghosts like it's bleach. Bleach is an anime where the main character Ichigo can see ghosts. Someone also mentioned bleach can kill you which leads to you seeing ghosts.
For Rugburn, this might be a reach. But he keeps bringing up sleeping on the floor. Which happens because there’s no place else to sleep. They’re sleeping on the floor because there’s an elephant in the room. Mick is the elephant in the room.
Coming back to this video after a bit and a whole lot of relistens to this album. In the first track, the hook is such a powerful bar. "Ye though I walk through... everything they taught me." The valley of the shadow of death is the darkest place you can ever be in life basically. The hardest trial. And he basically says that that trial is just what he has been taught. What he learned he has to unlearn to make it through. That's the trial. And that's even the whole sentence off the hook 😅
I don't have really much money to spare for supporting creators but i couldn't not pay the 5 bucks for the extended reaction, i was so hyped for this album and it turned out insane
I appreciate y'all for reacting to this, a lot of channels aren't as in tune as y'all. The project is everything I wanted and the cover is the best this year in my opinion.
I’m so happy y’all said it cus as far as my fav artist this has been the best year for for music. What’s y’all album of the year so far? Who in the lead? Who top 5?
Hell yeah! Been hoping you two would get on this. AOTY for me. Also, you guys really need to get on Stove God Cooks - Reasonable Drought. It's a year old now, but if you haven't checked it out. Do it! A reaction on that shit would be dope as hell too.
Y'all probably wont see this but you guys need to react to planet Giza. Its a group that is super underrated. They do beats for mick jenkins and also make songs. They go to do concerts with him sometimes too. I know that you ll like it. They did like 2 albums and a few singles and its fucking incredibe. Try listening to "short notice" and "ladies move" by planet giza and you ll see what they are capable of. They put in so much hard work for such a small audience its amazing.
first off all , love your videos! You should make a reaction video off Hit-Boys album. The Chauncey Hollis Project. Very dope album, dope beats and lyrics.
Beside all these bars. The imagery this man brings is so crazy. Just in "Valley of the Shadow of Death". The hook bro. 'Yea though I walk through.... (the valley of the shadow of death is what the scriptural quote says but he says) everything they taught me."
Guys I really think u should react to Kanye west interview on Drink Champs. To the highlights at least. The second interview is on Thursday, and u can upload sumn on patron. That be so dope. Love to see u analyze and react to that.
@@waseemnicholas I literally indicated that I recognize his greatness as a lyricist. But there are too many great lyricists alive today to put him in a top 3
Finally someone checked the album out thanks for this boys!!
we gotchu 🤝
Like properly checked it out. Tired of people showing reactions of their faces.
Thank y’all.

His punches hit deep hes a poet
criminally underrated, i don't know what happened to Micks career behind the scenes but he should be much bigger than he is.
He can't explain why is streaming ain't main

@@tierri.dasilva6684 You my friend, are in the minority. I'm glad you've taken to Mick and other artists like him though 👍.
yo how has no one else reacted to this. are people really sleeping on Mick like that?? thank you fellas. this project is an absolute work of art
Unfortunately most people of this generation just want a trap beat to vibe to.
Yes they are 😢
Rodney Mullen reference after Tony Hawk. Rodney is considered one of the most inventive skaters from that era, but never saw the fame from skating that Tony did. He's a very interesting dude. You should check out his TEd talk.
Such a hard bar lol
Rodney Mullen is the goat of skateboarding
He IS Modern day skateboarding.
the bleach line in the first song is also a anime about a teen seeing ghosts in the first episode
The way Prince brought up owin him credit again 😂😂 just like the last mick album
lmaooo had to! Shout out to you for vibing with us though 💯
U got my sub. Great reaction guyz. Love from south Africa 🇿🇦
I knew yall would love it! I love it so much paid extra for it on bandcamp. This deserves the money I'd pay for an actual disc.
went the extra length, you're a real one
Praying I don't miss the vinyl drop!
@@grimeyjg81 I'm waiting on merch!
@@grimeyjg81 gotta stay ready then
Been feeling down recently, this video brought me some joy. Great reaction to a great album. Love.
Keep your head up bro 🤞🏾
@@CooleySQVD Appreciate that bro, you too 🙏🏼
For ,” things you could die for if doing while black “ most of those references to police shootings.
B. Taylor - sleep in my bed
A. Arbery- go for a jog
E. Gardner- selling loose cigarettes
Etc
This comment is slept on. This actually brought me to tears
Yea, he actually researched every line before he wrote it. Things that black people have actually died for doing. Good job @kidflashrx
I been waiting on this for the whole week!
I was waiting for this one. Mick is so underrated it’s insane.
Glad you guys did this. People sleeping heavy. I’ve been through this one many times now and it keeps getting better. One of my favs from this year. Now just waiting on that new earl sweatshirt project and also Freddie Gibbs.
Love you guys for this 🤧
that's love!
Mick so underrated. Always keep the wordplay crisp
Vibe Villa knows good music💯
This album is amazing. It made my top 10 albums of the year list ! That’s saying a lot because there were some amazing hip hop albums this year.
On the skipping stones bar he also says “Stepping softly like I’m on Ice” Ice is another word for Crack 🤯🔥🔥 There’s so many layers man!
You guys are awesome for this kinda consistency 🔥🔥🔥 I've been watching y'all for a minute, the quality of the content y'all were dropping back then was already high and it's only risen ever since 🙏🏽❤️
Y'all still listen to underground artist regardless of the fact that y'all know it won't get views...
You guys are awesome
Thank you guys so much for this reaction! Would love for yall to react to some more mick
Y’all ever thought about doing a illmatic or it was written video? He’s lyrics go so deep and I learn so much from y’all.
YES!
It's honestly refreshing watching someone acknowledge and admire a body of work . Yall just made me appreciate mick even more
Love the Mick love! Saba produced that Speed Racer track!! Waiting to see you guys listen to his new stuff!
yess, ive been waiting for this reaction
Love how yall react to the fire regardless of popularity
Definitely in my top 10 for albums this year
I'm seeing ghosts like it's bleach. Bleach is an anime where the main character Ichigo can see ghosts. Someone also mentioned bleach can kill you which leads to you seeing ghosts.
Informative , appreciate that
wHaT dO yOu MeAn BlEaCh WiLl KiLl mE?!?!?!
I Definitely caught that I literally threw my headphones 😭😭 shit was so hard
For Rugburn, this might be a reach. But he keeps bringing up sleeping on the floor. Which happens because there’s no place else to sleep. They’re sleeping on the floor because there’s an elephant in the room. Mick is the elephant in the room.
they also sleeping on his "flow"
the word we can use is "daisy chain" he sorta daisy chains his lyrics in a way that most bars will carry over into the next scheme in at least 1 way.
This is such an incredible album great breakdown fellas 💯
Coming back to this video after a bit and a whole lot of relistens to this album. In the first track, the hook is such a powerful bar. "Ye though I walk through... everything they taught me."

What he learned he has to unlearn to make it through. That's the trial. And that's even the whole sentence off the hook 😅
He was saying that his music isn’t MainStream like on the radio in the line on rug burn. But y’all were right too it’s just a triple
THANK YOU SO MUCH
whole album fye. was def waiting for this reaction
LETSGO PEOPLE SLEEPING ON MICK JENKINS. CANT WAIT TO WATCH THIS
I don't have really much money to spare for supporting creators but i couldn't not pay the 5 bucks for the extended reaction, i was so hyped for this album and it turned out insane
I knew you would check this one out! Thanks for your time. Peace from Denmark!
He’s so good and underrated, need a mick jid collab
Mick x Mach Hommy
Mick x KAAN
Finally
Is this, Cigarettes on it's own is an absolute work of art, Mick will forever be slept on
Never heard of mick Jenkins , but the Thumbnail convinced me lol
he’s so dope, so underrated. u gotta dig deeper
Start with The Water(S)
SABA DROPPED HIS SINGLE
I appreciate y'all for reacting to this, a lot of channels aren't as in tune as y'all. The project is everything I wanted and the cover is the best this year in my opinion.
I’m so happy y’all said it cus as far as my fav artist this has been the best year for for music. What’s y’all album of the year so far? Who in the lead? Who top 5?
The production on this album is crazy man, Mick is such a special artist ngl
oh yeah i knew you guys would check this out, always checking out some real artist, check out grips full project!
Grip's 'I Died For This?!', it's up on patreon!
Don't sleep on the flow! Bars
Mick is criminally under rated.
!!!
I be trynna tell ppl. It don’t even make sense lol
THIS REACTION WAS A VIBE!
I love this entire album, moves the game forward for sure🔥🙏🏾
Mick is a legend
I think we need to call it a rap chain ⛓️ all linked together.
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Mick Jenkins been dope since the waters. This album dirty af
I gotta put Jenkins in my top 5 for this Drake, Kendrick and J. Cole Era, he's albums, mixtapes and EP speaks volumes🤞
I think KAAN is low key in the top 5 of this generation. His flow and cadence is unmatched and he's been extremely consistent for years.
The words prince was looking for is "double entendre", a word that means 2 things at once.
That's not what he meant, he was searching a word that should mean "connecting every word with the next one" or something like that
@@Vikingbrother28 ok
That Rodney Mullen bar was tough
Hell yeah! Been hoping you two would get on this. AOTY for me. Also, you guys really need to get on Stove God Cooks - Reasonable Drought. It's a year old now, but if you haven't checked it out. Do it! A reaction on that shit would be dope as hell too.
This album was excellent. Wish more people discussed it
You may or may have not caught it but that bleach line was so simple.. but so elite..
Y'all probably wont see this but you guys need to react to planet Giza. Its a group that is super underrated. They do beats for mick jenkins and also make songs. They go to do concerts with him sometimes too. I know that you ll like it. They did like 2 albums and a few singles and its fucking incredibe.

IS THIS CIGARETTES IS SO HARDDDD!
"I can't explain why my streaming ain't main." Like mainstream music....
My favourite song got 7 "uhh" from Prince. I'm satisfied.
first off all , love your videos!
You should make a reaction video off Hit-Boys album. The Chauncey Hollis Project. Very dope album, dope beats and lyrics.
Whole proječt lit add to me personally
Is, This 🚭 Rugburn & 🐘in the room faves tho
The chicken item could be from im 6'5 trying to fit in a coupe
Ayyyye, fire reaction, underrated ass project 🔥🔥🔥 have y’all heard the new “Murder Music” with Snoop and Benny the Butcher?
In DUI, I don't get the line, but he said "See and be seen" and it sounded like a homophone for CNBC
Beside all these bars. The imagery this man brings is so crazy. Just in "Valley of the Shadow of Death". The hook bro. 'Yea though I walk through.... (the valley of the shadow of death is what the scriptural quote says but he says) everything they taught me."
Y’all gotta check out “Somtimes I Might Be Introvert” by Little Simz. My favorite album this year for suuuuure

I wouldn’t say top 3 yet but his pen definitely deserves a lot of appreciation

@@jadigallo you missing the bars then fam , he is too thought provoking
@@waseemnicholas I literally indicated that I recognize his greatness as a lyricist. But there are too many great lyricists alive today to put him in a top 3
I've watched this video 5 times already 😅 the record a classic
