Can honestly say he hit every mark. Any small switch to how he went into this interview slash freestyle would’ve altered to e depth and greatness of its entirety. Delivery, flow, his reserve, obviously vocabulary and understanding of how a verse is put together. This man is a true student if not master of lyricism.
Y'all were the first to come to mind when I saw this freestyle. Your guy's ability to analyze to great detail each song is astounding to me - not to mention the breadth of knowledge you possess! Your commentary is greatly valued, and I think you're contributing something good to the community. Thank you for all your great work!
Yeah, real nice to have someone to explain it who is in on all the different cultural references. I slept on lots of lyricists because some of their more obscure references just sounded like lol Wayne lines on the face. So it's really dope to find out the deeper layered meanings
“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.” -Greek Proverb. This was the first thing I thought of with the planting seeds line.
Mav Smith There’s really nothing to break down, outside of what the Fibonacci sequence is, assuming that you know what a seamstress is. The Fibonacci sequence is, in laymen’s terms, nature’s mathematical order, where a number is equal to the sum of the previous two.
“Rather give these youngins direction than ignore their ways(waze)” Literally everything is a bar in some form or fashion with him. I only chose this one because I feel like little to no one would catch it.
Yeah I think Royce was reborn to be the best version of himself when he did the Book of Ryan. Love your reviews guys, making it easier for us to understand American culture refences for us here in the motherland.
WHEN HE SAID NICKLE CAME TO DESTROY A WAVE PEOPLE DONT REALIZE THAT THE METAL NICKEL IS A METAL WERE WAVES CANT PASS THROUGH IT. SO ITS A TRIPLE ENTENDRE
@@mr.lowermerion5585 because you made that shit up nickel does conduct electricity and heat. I dont know what on earth it doesn't pass waves mean. They only thing nickel is, is magnetic. I was asking you because I may have missed something but now just seems like you're lying
OK NOW I SCHOOL YOU. FIRST THERE ARE FOUR METALS (COBALT, IRON, NICKLE AND GADOLINIUM) THESE FOUR ARE KNOW AS FERROMAGNETIC METALS WHICH MEANS THEY MAGNETIZE VERY EASY. YOU SAID NICKLE IS NOT MAGNETIC YOUR WRONG. SECONDLY ALNICO MAGNETS WHICH IS A COMBINATION OF ALUMINUM, COBALT AND NICKEL ARE VERY STRONG MAGNETS SO STRONG THAT THEY CAN RESIST HEAT WAVES EVEN IF THEY ARE HEATED UNTIL THEY ARE RED THEY WILL CONTINUE TO STAY MAGNETIC. THATS WHY I SAID WAVES CANT PASS THROUGH NICKEL. OK BOYS AND GIRLS WE LEARNED TO THAT SOME PEOPLE WENT TO SCHOOL AND SOME OF DIDN'T. CLASS DISMISSED
Royce is my top ARTIST of all time. His Bar Exams are heat and the Book of Ryan makes you feel nostalgic about someone elses childhood, and the deep songs let you share pain as well as give you incredible inspiration and a feeling of power over your own life despite hardships. 🐐
Extremely well put. A lot of rap fans talk about relating to the personal circumstances of an artist's lyrics, but I always maintain you don't have to have literally experienced the same stuff that an artist is talking about to relate or feel something from their work. It's about the feelings conveyed, not the exact content. I've never been in the streets dealing, but I fucks with Hov & Griselda heavy. And Like J. Cole said, "We had no Bablo Boat, but I could note those times just like a BIble quote". I ain't even from Detroit but Damn If I ain't nostalgic about Bablo Island lol
They brought up and I totally agree. What I love is not only is he spitting the most insane bars ever but he does have a message like he’s actually saying something
Love you guys. As a prog rock guy, you've opened me something new. Impressed by every aspect of Royce. The voice, cadence and brilliant storytelling are top notch. Gonna listen to more of him. Thanks guys!
The double entendre of the billy dee confused line... was a few months back when billy dee said he was gender neutral but he didn’t know what it meant he was confused
Royce is a prime example of working HARD at your craft and it WILL take you places. He's trying to teach these lil punks that... don't think many listen which is unfortunate, but they should. Royce is a GOAT. And his GOAT ring is everything!
The first video I watched from y’all was WAV Files by Lupe Fiasco. I’ve been hooked ever since because of the way y’all are able to break down the depth in bars in such a simplistic yet scholarly way. This reaction reminds of what gravitated me to yalls channel to begin with. Thank you!
Royce could b a motivational speaker and make millions . So smart . Watch some of his interviews , he is amazing 😉 The world is better with him in it. Royce for president , I’m in 2020
The energy between these two just seem different in this video, but never the less a dope reaction always love watching you two breaking down bars especially when it’s my favourite rapper!!
Man I always enjoy your guys insight on these reactions. In my opinion Royce is definitely a top tier lyricist and after all the works he's put in through the years it's great to see him shining and getting the credit he deserves. As an artist myself I understand what y'all was saying about it taking the perfect storm for everything to come together for an artist. If you intend on being successful in this industry it takes a lot of hard work, a lot of talent and a lot of perseverance
I love how you guys breakdown the verses with your interpretations. You are as eloquent as Royce is. You got yourself a new follower. This song is fire
Fellas, this is the perfect time for a Lupe marathon. You can finally hit Mural like people have requested. I’d personally like to see y’all do Jonylah Forever, He Say She Say, Daydreamin, Atomic Misphilosophy, Beautiful Lasers, Words I Never Said to name a few.
“We attribute the original way we articulate through bricks of ye’ zipped up on interstate” “then metriculate into real estate” “Powder Delineate” That was so crazy how that goes over everyone head.
Big ups to you both for the work you put in. I have to say that this channel helps a lot. I'm now able to broaden my scope about rap music. But please get to this Monch track though
First, I'm glad y'all back at it cuz for a second I thought y'all sick or something with all this covid-19 mess. Second, seems like Royce watched your reaction to him when George was saying he is now in his 40s I wish he gives us more substance than just rappidy rap. So salute to y'all for foreseen that and I hope you guys are staying well and healthy. I wish you guys would come back to visit Lowkey at some point.
would love to see more reactions to The Allegory, interested to hear you guy’s POV on the track Black Savage, love the info i get from your videos and always enjoy hearing your interpretations 👍🏽
@@YouthfulResentment The original commenter said this freestyle is better than most rappers writtens. This is a written. It doesnt mean its not a "freestyle" but saying its better than other rappers writtens implies that it isnt written, even though it is.
“Tell your A&R and PR (NPR) that y’all ain’t shit without your tiny desk” referring to the NPR Tiny Desk concert series. But also saying that your management ain’t worth nothing without the desk they sit behind. CRAZY!
the tiny desk reference at the end was towards the youtube channel tiny desk productions and the obvious public reps (PRs) and ANRs of an organisationn
Lmao George says he was trying to stop cursing. Ryan and us: 😂. Honorable goal but let's be real for a second Love yall though Kidaf - Never Ending (feat. Shadow the Great)
This will go down as the greatest freestyle / freeverse ever. Everyrhing about the rhyme scheme, word play, deeper meanings, flow is 100% on point.
imo, very reasonable take. For all the crazy freestyles we've heard. this one really laps everything!

Slept there meanwhile I am Greek. Nice one 👍👌
Philosophical syllable seamstress speaking in a biblical Fibonacci sequence 🔥 🔥 🔥
Rudy thats a GOD TIER BAR
Idk understand how someone can just come up with that, Royce is NOT HUMAN
I threw up when this bar dropped

@@StopLyinBihh George messed that up 😂.
That Fibonacci sequence line, literally made me rethink life, (who thinks of that) such great quality in this.
"Philosophical syllable seamstress speaking in the biblical Fibonacci sequence..."
Class is in session.
That shit had me stuck on wow for an hour and a half
“Rather give these youngins direction than ignore their ways(waze)”
Literally everything is a bar in some form or fashion with him. I only chose this one because I feel like little to no one would catch it.
Please elaborate
@@bardokobama1035 Waze is an app that gives you directions
What makes this so amazing is that his flow is like a natural conversation!!!
LETS GOOOO! Royce album is fire!!
9 months later and I just heard the “soup a man leave you liquified with these cans”
Bruhhhhhhhh😂 Me Too
Hearing it the first day made me so proud of myself
🤣
Yeah I think Royce was reborn to be the best version of himself when he did the Book of Ryan. Love your reviews guys, making it easier for us to understand American culture refences for us here in the motherland.
I'll never watch another reaction panel besides this channel you guys are brilliant
Yall don't speak on Royce's immaculate technical ability enough... nobody stretches that far, at such a consistent rate... GOAT
Black Thought
Nobody does? OK suuuure
This makes me proud to come back and watch this knowin that Royce is up for a rap album of the year Grammy nomination
That sinister track just complimented that impeccable flow...This is what spitting is all about!
MASTERPIECE!
Look at Justin’s face when he says the fire line. He is literally seeing his life pass him by!!
Royce makes you actually realize how trash 🗑 these rappers is man
Every member of Slaughterhouse was like that, with Budden being by far the most underrated.
@@michelangelotroccoli7748 Don't take it personal it is what it is. BLK folk had to endure it centuries longer then you.
@@michelangelotroccoli7748 ........But you just called yourself a white fan........
Royce is stepping into the shoes he always had. It’s beautiful to witness. 🙏
WHEN HE SAID NICKLE CAME TO DESTROY A WAVE PEOPLE DONT REALIZE THAT THE METAL NICKEL IS A METAL WERE WAVES CANT PASS THROUGH IT. SO ITS A TRIPLE ENTENDRE
Post the source of that information

I knew that that “Shannon Sharpe” line would get you! I rewinded it so many times!
So did I that was very clever

This was the work for many years in the hip hop field in a freestyle .. stunning and amazing
That Russell Wilson bar was fire " Good guy sorta Pop" Russell is sort of the Pop(father) of Ciara oldest son
Oooooh!!!!🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤣
Starting quarantine off RIGHT. Been waiting for this!
thats what she said lol.
@@markBalentine123567 lol

Royce is my fav rapper out of Detroit. Thanks for the reaction.
Love you guys. As a prog rock guy, you've opened me something new. Impressed by every aspect of Royce. The voice, cadence and brilliant storytelling are top notch. Gonna listen to more of him. Thanks guys!
Y’all are so well spoken and articulate yourselves so good it’s insane. As well as so knowledgeable. Y’all just earned a subscriber!
Royce after this last album to me is one of the all time greats. Just to be able to be consistent and always evolve definitely top 10
Literally just got off work and out the shower. Couldn’t have had better timing Free Thinkers 🔥
The double entendre of the billy dee confused line... was a few months back when billy dee said he was gender neutral but he didn’t know what it meant he was confused
Didn't he say he was gender fluid? Same shit though
@@LvLdGhost yeah then once someone explained it he was more confused and said he didn't know what he was agreeing to and saying...

I've been a little hard on the channel recently, but y'all killed that one. Royce always shuts it down. 10/10

He produced the beat too....whoa 😳
No way, the beat is absolute fire

@@turtleislandchief he murders it every time

Thank you guys for doing this
Royce is the reason we still want to stick to this Rap sh*t! Jewels rapped in a candy bar with the way he drops knowledge! Thx guys ✌🏼
Royce is the rap back to the future from the 90s era the guy is mad cold the guy is at the wrong time period. 😅
“We attribute the original way we articulate through bricks of ye’ zipped up on interstate” “then metriculate into real estate” “Powder Delineate”
That was so crazy how that goes over everyone head.
SIMPLY PUT THERE ARE CERTAIN ARTISTS WHO ARE ALIENS AND ROYCE IS ONE OF EM💯
happy yall did this, not sure if you saw my comment but thanks anyway
dang I love how you two be breaking down the bars you guys don't miss nothing also love the camaraderie 👍
Big ups to you both for the work you put in. I have to say that this channel helps a lot. I'm now able to broaden my scope about rap music. But please get to this Monch track though
First, I'm glad y'all back at it cuz for a second I thought y'all sick or something with all this covid-19 mess.

IVE BEEN WAITING ON THIS FOR SO LONG!!!!🔥
This freestyle is the real reason we are under worldwide lockdown!!😂😂
Oh how I’ve been waiting for this one
Been waiting for this one
You can tell the caliber of the rapper by the freestyle. His freestyle is better than most rappers Best writtens 🔥🔥
This is written
This is without a doubt a written dude

That give an M1 to Stickman was a Dead Prez reference. Fire!!!!! 85% didn't get it
Y’all are the absolute best at breaking lyrics down. Bravo 👏
Been waiting for this one!
Pretty sure the "Thou shall not fck with Detroit me" line is a shout out to biggy... I think Jay-Z's "version" was a shoutout to biggy too.
Ive been waiting for this my guyzzzz lol
A year later ,I'm still here .
This my pre-reaction comment...your minds are about to be blown-ded.
I kept checking in on the channel , hoping this would pop up
Glad yall broke this down because a lot of this was going over my head lol
