I know you've probably heard this already, but please whenever you do listen to The Forever Story, listen to 2007 at the end (On youtube). It was supposed to be the outro for the album but do to sample clearances he couldn't release it. It's a great outro for the album and just a great song in general
I know everyone is hype about The Forever Story and it is definitelu phenomenal, but don't sleep on his album in between those two "DiCaprio 2" it was also great. JID has gotten progressively better every album.
I've been getting a lot of mentions about DiCaprio 2. Lots of love being shared for that album as well. Seems like JID is hitting his stride in a big way 👍
oh man you have no idea how happy i am to see you doing JID he's one of my all-time favourites. i might've even left a comment here talking about him before.
Absolutely. One of the greatest verses ever written. The wordplay, flow, cadences, etc everyting is fucking phenomenal. My fav jid track to this day. Mindblowing
I really like the part where he says "Writing lyrics in the city with pretty boobies and titties" while the beat strips back because to me it sounds like JID trying for a second to do what is expected of atlanda rappers, just writing about nonsense with no emotion. His voice goes from cracking up to becoming stable and kind of monotone for this one line. Then he just realizes that's not who he is and goes back to the cracked up voice in the next line where he goes back to talking about real stuff. (If you go by my intepretation) this line with the lyrics, beat and delivery tells a whole story and reinforces the line in the chorus: "Southern lyricists don't exist like my flow is a myth".
as far as I am aware, there's no "correct" way to say his name, some people say J-I-D, others say JID, he even jumps between both in some songs, and his fellows at Dreamville use both. So I wouldn't worry about the way his name is said.
He said once in an interview that saying out each letter is the correct way but he doesn’t mind either way, plus it allows more variety for rhyme schemes in his lyrics, so why not 🤷🏿♂️
He’s not unfortunately GKMC sold 10 times what JID sold, and had way more cultural influence. But JID still out out a phenomenal album and artistically is in his prime rn, however unfortunately it’s not gonna translate into GKMC stardom
@@IamFirtyDucker all he means by that statement was he probably finally gonna get his shine and get played in more ears, not about the number part of it 👌🏽
@@scootbtw648 GKMC wasn't a slow grower. There won't be any mainstream technical rappers anymore after Kendrick and Cole most likely selling a #1 album anymore.
shawn cee once described how JID raps as if he is constantly in a state of almost not making it fully through a door as its closing. I think that is such a good explanation of how i feel listening to his flow. JID is one of my all time favorites for sure.
and to think this guy still shined through after all that Dreamville oversaturation around that time. Took me like a year after it's release to listen to it because of that.
@@Discordkitten2 this was around or a little after J Cole was at peak popularity with backpackers and him and dreamville were everywhere. Slightly before this dropped (iirc) 4 your eyez only, too high to riot by Bas, and Pho by Ari Lennox dropped (all great albums and imo Bas' album was waaaaay better than coles album) and you coudlnt go a day without a J Cole stan telling you he's the best to ever do it so a lot of people kind of got sick of anything having to do with him lol The Never Story came out at the tail end of all of those albums that were already on top of a bunch of other albums that had come out four years before that so it kind of got buried for a lot of people.
@@djglustick2006 how is a shit ton of quality projects coming out around the same time from the same label a me problem? lmao theres a reason so many people didnt even know JID existed until this year. Also, if you think I was the only person annoyed by J Cole stans in the mid-to late 10's you must either be 5 or lived under a rock. It was one of the biggest memes in hip hop that his fans were annoying af.
This man JID has quietly under the radar, dropped 3 consecutive great albums. This mans discography is going to be insane in 10 years. I know the Forever Story Hype is at an all time hi but I wouldn’t shy away from listening to his second album Dicaprio 2. It’s a great album even tho no one really talks about it.
I honestly think Dreamville isn't the best place for him for that reason. There is zero reason why he should've been under the radar. J Cole seems to push his image on other artists on the label which I think hinders the artists. A lot of mfs on that label should be bigger than they are.
@@iEditorial yes, and before that he was under the radar. What don’t you understand. He dropped his previous 2 albums before the Imagine Dragons feature.
You should check out Spillage Village, which is a supergroup containing JID and Earthgang, among other artists. My personal favorite album of theirs is Spilligion but their discography has so many hidden gems.
Haven't watched the reaction yet but if you so much as like this album, you'll love his other two. I think TFS is his best overall album but DiCaprio 2 arguably has some of his hardest songs. Definitely the album to listen to if you want to hear him really rap. I love that you're getting to J.I.D. and this side of hip hop and i hope you react to that album as well, eventually. Love the videos Bob, keep not sucking
You finally got to it. Hopefully you do DiCaprio 2 next then The Forever story, he somehow gets better each album, I genuinely don’t think it’s possible he can top TFS
So excited for you to get into JID! At the time this album came out he was immediately a breath of fresh air. So inventive with his flows and cadences… he really blew my mind. Edit: PLEASE DONT SKIP DICAPRIO 2
I would recommend that you react to his second album Dicaprio 2. It really flexes his rapping ability and has some of the craziest flows I've ever heard. It's a banger tracklist
I myself have yet to dig into JID's entire discography but I will. I listened to this album once and then repeated a few songs I enjoyed. So this video was useful to listen more and see it being broken down a bit. Thank you! I definitely recommend more of the Dreamville artists when you have time. That's J. Cole's label and stuff. They have a mixtape I think as a whole (so multiple artists all over the album) but also Revenge of the Dreamers II is labeled as a compilation in some places. Confuses me. Anyways part 3 is SO much fun. The little documentary is worth watching before it. Shows the process of recording over a couple weeks in a studio sort of house. Multiple studios with everyone jumping in and out of sessions. If you were in the right place and right time, you might've ended up on a song, if not, your loss. Guests were brought in too. Kendrick does bits here and there yet I think isn't even credited lol. Same with other artists. It's a great showcase of what the label has. Everyone under J. Cole. That includes JID of course.
If you're going to listen to horror themed albums in October you really HAVE to listen to There Existed an Addiction to Blood and Visions of Bodies Being Burned by clipping. They're two amazing horrorcore albums by an amazing group. They basically take hip hop and noise and fuse it together. It's not like Death Grips where they put hip hop, metal, rock, jazz, techno and noise in a boiling pot but more like hip hop with noise inspired instrumentals or basically rapping over noise. Really experimental stuff. All songs are about horror on these two albums, each song basically tells it's own story. You really gotta listen to both though to get the full experience, which might not mesh well with your upload schedule and video structure. Still I STRONGLY recommend these two albums for October. If you like it you should also listen to CLPPNG by them. Other October picks include Mista Thug Isolation and Here I Lie Buried With My Rings And My Dresses. Really enjoyed this reaction. Looking forward to your reaction to DiCaprio 2 (if you're doing this one too, you should) and The Forever Story. JID is one of the best of this generation. His flows and rhymes are so captivating, and he always switches up his flow. You should check out some of his singles, notably Bruuuh remix with denzel and Cludder. His verse on Conway the Machines Scatter Brain is also top notch. Sorry for making a wall of text but since I'm doing it I'm just going to throw in another recommendation. All Amerikkkan Bada$$ by Joey Bada$$. The lyrical focus and commentary on this album is something I think you would love. Basically it's all about america = bad. It works so damn well. It also has some certified bangers on there. Great video as always Bob! Looking forward to your additional thoughts. Stay Safe!
Never apologize for a wall of text :) I'm just happy to have the time this morning to read it! Clipping is coming in October for sure, probably 'Addiction to Blood.' So is the Backxwash album 🤘
Hey, great vid. I got to the point after EdEddnEddy where you said you needed to do another Cole album. Instead I think you should look into Revenge of the Dreamers 3. It’s J Cole’s label, and the album was made in 10 days in one location where Cole invited 343 Artists/Producers. 142 songs were made and 18 songs made the cut. There’s also a documentary on it you can react to also, or just watch before listening to the album. Keep it up!!!
Imo, he should really do 4 Your Eyez Only first just cause it'd make his part on Sacrifices a lil better of an experience. But I hope he gets to ROTD3 too
If you're doing a spooky theme for October, I strongly recommend "visions of bodies being burned" by clipping. Incredible experimental hip hop album but absolutely terrifying listening experience
@@bobthepoppop There Existed an Addiction to Blood came first and is also (imo) a better album, but if you had to pick an album to start with clipping i'd say CLPPNG
I'm grinning so hard at you having the same feeling I had when I first heard this album. JID is an artist who immediately makes a strong impression of a singular artist to watch. I'm confident you're going to be pleased with his growth as an artist and I can't wait to watch.
You know what, I just clocked that his flow at times, like on D/vision, is following a different pattern to the beat in a sense that it's technically polyrhythms if you take the syllables as percussive notes. Almost like Meshuggah or even Tool. 4/4 background but odd time signature with his syllables. Insane, no? Prog without even knowing it? 😂
Love the album, love the reaction. Made me appreciate this album even more and get even more excited for the Forever Story reaction! And I'm really interested in a Big K.R.I.T. reaction now, forgot about him until you read that one annotation on LAUDER. 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time is a mighty good album.
I'd like to do that Big K.R.I.T album. We did a little event in Discord the other night where everyone recommended one song for a community playlist, and it ended up having 4 or 5 tracks from that album. Which meant... I didn't get to listen to the playlist 😂 But it was cool to see that album get so much love!
Also JIDs real name is Destin Choice Route which he makes reference to frequently like on somebody he says “got my choice route I’m destin-ed for greatness”
So happy to be seeing your first reaction. The new JID album aas all I've listened too since it's dropped so I'm so glad I get to revist Never Story with you
"clutching on my last dollars, I'm stretching common sense" is a crazy line. 1. When you make money "stretch" it means you're broke and you have to live off what you've got, holding on (or "clutching") until payday. 2. Common sense is a play for "common cents" a metaphor for a working man's wage. 3. The context of the verse gives several alternative meanings to "stretching common sense" a. he's giving his "two cents" by sharing his mental state with people who are broke, just like him. b. a "clutch" shifts gears, so he's trying to "stretch common sense" by trying to educate people (get the gears in the brain to shift) who would otherwise never think twice about his lyrics because they weren't in his shoes to experience it (commoners).
Good break down. For as long as I've been enjoying lyrics, I'm beginning to realize there's a lot of wordplay that I've been missing. Hopefully my mind gets a little sharper in that category going forward.
@@bobthepoppop Thank you! nothing feels better than when you catch those sneaky lines that don't seem like much at first. Sometimes they'll fly under the radar for years before it clicks!
I’ve been seeing your vids in my recommended for a while now but never checked it out, glad I clicked on this one. I’m excited to look through and see your journey through rap and hip hop
Bob I still noticed the urge to find an over arcing message within the album, really JID’s goal in this album was to set the stage with his skill set and show people what he is capable of however in The Forever Story he does get in to deeper ideas about his personal life so definitely pay attention in the next reaction
His name is pronounced both JID and J-I-D. In a nardwuar interview he corrects him and says it's J-I-D but in multiple songs he has referred to himself as JID. He has also said that his name comes from the word "jittery" something his grandmother would call him as a child, reinforcing the JID pronounciation.
Would love to see you react to “The Waters” by Mick Jenkins. It’s a conceptual album with a ton of meaning! He is both lyrical and conscious hailing from Chicago.
so glad to see you react to this. this album is pretty good and his newest one is even better the album in between them (DiCaprio 2) is good too. Good reaction and happy to see you tackle jid
very happy that you went with never story first! I've only just gotten into jid with the forever story so it's nice to experience his early work with you XD
Hearing bob appreciate the flow switches and variety in his cadence and flow has me so excited for him to go further into JID’s discography, definitely think doing DiCaprio 2 before TFS would be better just to see his evolution as time went on
aint no way I just realised that the opening song of The Forever Story 'Galaxy' reused lyrics from the opening song of The Never story, as well as "Lauder Too" and "Lauder".
loved the video!! if you want another mac project do faces or good AM next, both a little more upbeat than swimming/circles. you would love the production on faces
Pat Tillmans story is so sad. He became very *very* disillusioned with the entire “war on terror” while he was overseas. Not only was he killed by friendly fire, the military tried to cover it up (including to his family) for the longest time. despite all that the NFL rolls him out every year for Veterans Day and Salute to service month without any of that context as some Captain America style figure. Anyways, great reaction as always Bob!
Glad you listened to this projeck and if you listen to the forever story check out 2007 on youtube, its the proper ending but it couldnt be cleared by samples
No way,I never thought anyone would react to this classic banger from JID in 2022! Was about to subscribe when you gave an in depth review of Denzel’s Album, but this seals the deal!
You REALLY should listen to DiCaprio 2 before the newest one, you will se his growth on his rapping and even more his singing! You'll love the album and the flows
Bob!!! Happy to see you listening to JID! You liked the beat on “Never” you HAVE to check out Method Man and Black Thought on Sway in the Morning… they cypher back and forth on that beat and it is INSANE! Black Thought is the Heisenberg of rap
JID and Denzel are longtime friends and they have a single that's not on any album, it's called Bruuuh remix you really should listen to it it's so so good
I know you've probably heard this already, but please whenever you do listen to The Forever Story, listen to 2007 at the end (On youtube). It was supposed to be the outro for the album but do to sample clearances he couldn't release it. It's a great outro for the album and just a great song in general
hopefully it gets cleared by the time he gets to it

Yeah, I properly ruined that transition...
@@bobthepoppop all good! hope you got to experience the beat switch for yourself after relistening tho😂
@@bobthepoppop always rewind 10 seconds after pausing
Thats all i needed to know😂 not watching this
Please don’t go straight to the Forever Story, do DiCaprio 2 first! I have a feeling it will be your favorite of all his albums
Seeing him listen to Off deez would be amazing
@@yolkthosenuts exactly lol I don’t think he would be expecting J Cole to rap the way he does on it
I agree
I really hope so
It's not better than the Forever Story

LAUDER’s 3rd verse is an absolute piece of art, still my fav verse of him even after The Forever Story
Absolutely. One of the greatest verses ever written. The wordplay, flow, cadences, etc everyting is fucking phenomenal. My fav jid track to this day. Mindblowing

Yeah, I just use JID cuz of his story where his grandma called him jittery
Yeah he said "JID the butcher who want the beef" and "C'est la vie, J-I-D
Say I B-E-S-T with the R-A-Ps and R.I.P" in the same cypher
He said once in an interview that saying out each letter is the correct way but he doesn’t mind either way, plus it allows more variety for rhyme schemes in his lyrics, so why not 🤷🏿♂️
I feel like JID's in his GKMC era (as in, he's been popular but now just starting to REALLY pop off). You picked a good time to listen
He’s not unfortunately GKMC sold 10 times what JID sold, and had way more cultural influence. But JID still out out a phenomenal album and artistically is in his prime rn, however unfortunately it’s not gonna translate into GKMC stardom

b. a "clutch" shifts gears, so he's trying to "stretch common sense" by trying to educate people (get the gears in the brain to shift) who would otherwise never think twice about his lyrics because they weren't in his shoes to experience it (commoners).
Good break down. For as long as I've been enjoying lyrics, I'm beginning to realize there's a lot of wordplay that I've been missing. Hopefully my mind gets a little sharper in that category going forward.
@@bobthepoppop Thank you! nothing feels better than when you catch those sneaky lines that don't seem like much at first. Sometimes they'll fly under the radar for years before it clicks!
Seeing you doing The Never Story made me come in, Glad to see you going back before exploring new album, New Sub from Me Much Love from New Zealand
I’ve been seeing your vids in my recommended for a while now but never checked it out, glad I clicked on this one. I’m excited to look through and see your journey through rap and hip hop
Since 6lack(Black) is featured on this album. You should react to his album Free 6lack if you haven't already. It's really good!
Bob I still noticed the urge to find an over arcing message within the album, really JID’s goal in this album was to set the stage with his skill set and show people what he is capable of however in The Forever Story he does get in to deeper ideas about his personal life so definitely pay attention in the next reaction
My mind is always looking for more :)
I'm glad I did this album first since it can feed into TFS. It's cool to have this background moving forward.
His name is pronounced both JID and J-I-D. In a nardwuar interview he corrects him and says it's J-I-D but in multiple songs he has referred to himself as JID. He has also said that his name comes from the word "jittery" something his grandmother would call him as a child, reinforcing the JID pronounciation.
ah yes my favorite kendrick lyric
“every *individual* is a star”
I can already tell how much bob is going to love the lyricism on The Forever Story
I really liked your intro Bob as you went over your thought process. Great idea to do this one first 👍 btw jid is the future
as a long time jid fan i love to see people appreciating his older stuff 🥹 great reaction and breakdown man
THANK YOU BOB!!!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO REACT TO JID! HE’S A MAN PUSHING BOUNDARIES!!!!
Man for a debut album it was incredible. Btw I saw his live show! Such a great performer, funny, enthusiastic, just a great time
Would love to see you react to “The Waters” by Mick Jenkins. It’s a conceptual album with a ton of meaning! He is both lyrical and conscious hailing from Chicago.
so glad to see you react to this. this album is pretty good and his newest one is even better the album in between them (DiCaprio 2) is good too. Good reaction and happy to see you tackle jid
cant wait for jid the forever story
very happy that you went with never story first! I've only just gotten into jid with the forever story so it's nice to experience his early work with you XD
fuck now i gotta resubscribe to the patreon..this is your best reaction choice yet i love you bob
The Ed Ed and Eddy sample is the same sample thats used in the song Scenario in next weeks Low End Theory, kinda cool link up
Hearing bob appreciate the flow switches and variety in his cadence and flow has me so excited for him to go further into JID’s discography, definitely think doing DiCaprio 2 before TFS would be better just to see his evolution as time went on
aint no way I just realised that the opening song of The Forever Story 'Galaxy' reused lyrics from the opening song of The Never story, as well as "Lauder Too" and "Lauder".
Would love to see you react to Isaiah rashad in the near future, starting with Cilvia demo 🫂
Let’s goooo Jid is insane
BOB! Love the vids man never been this early but I love all the videos and I look forward to you reacting to the forever story truly a beautiful album
W support
loved the video!! if you want another mac project do faces or good AM next, both a little more upbeat than swimming/circles. you would love the production on faces
4:22 enough to earn a subscription and make a grown man cry 🥹 incredibly said 🔑🗣️
Pat Tillmans story is so sad. He became very *very* disillusioned with the entire “war on terror” while he was overseas. Not only was he killed by friendly fire, the military tried to cover it up (including to his family) for the longest time. despite all that the NFL rolls him out every year for Veterans Day and Salute to service month without any of that context as some Captain America style figure. Anyways, great reaction as always Bob!
I've been waiting for jid for so long Defi gotta give the forever story a listen to see the progress as an artist he's made.
"Is it J.I.D. or JID?"
Yes.
JID is the master of flow switches glad you’re catching it early on!!
bob you should definitely react to JIDS 2018 XXL freestyle cypher. it’s insanely good
Glad you listened to this projeck and if you listen to the forever story check out 2007 on youtube, its the proper ending but it couldnt be cleared by samples
You are absolutely gonna LOVE The Forever Story and DiCaprio 2!! TFS probably my favorite album of the decade
Fish in the back 🐠 This is my comfort channel
No way,I never thought anyone would react to this classic banger from JID in 2022! Was about to subscribe when you gave an in depth review of Denzel’s Album, but this seals the deal!
Bob there’s an interview where JID says his favorite musical artist is actually a Swedish rock band called, Little Dragon. So he loves all music.
Bob your Patreon and discord are awesome. I'm a lifer. Just want some Lupe 😪👀
i love jid so much he probably on my current top 5, waiting for you reaction on the new album, its amazing
Been waiting on this one 🔥
I remember listening to this when it came out and I was like maybe rap isn't dying completely such a great album instantly bought it on vinyl.
pop you passed by one of my fav rappers annotations on D/vision. That man Doctur Dot AKA Wowgr8 the flow buddha
Hey bob, you definitely have to react to DiCaprio 2 and Revenge of the Dreamers III
Need those reactions, especially before The Forever Story
This album is amazing. Top 20 hip hop for me idk why. Honestly believe this is one of the most underrated hip hop albums of all time.
i hope you do the forever story soon. I know you planned the month but it would be worth a shake up
I was at that kendrick concert on Tuesday in sac too. What a show.
You REALLY should listen to DiCaprio 2 before the newest one, you will se his growth on his rapping and even more his singing! You'll love the album and the flows
Definitely hope he follows this up with JID’s next two albums, especially because the just dropped one
I'm really excited to see what you think of one of my favorite rappers!
I WANNA WATCH YOUR REACTION TO THE FOREVER STORY SO BAD NOW
cheers brother wish yall the best
Definitely gotta check out DiCaprio 2 before the new one. Love the reactions, keep it going!!
Bob!!! Happy to see you listening to JID! You liked the beat on “Never” you HAVE to check out Method Man and Black Thought on Sway in the Morning… they cypher back and forth on that beat and it is INSANE! Black Thought is the Heisenberg of rap
You should react to Mavi. He only has one album called "Let the sun talk" it's too good man.
JID was my fav concert I’ve been to. The crowd the music and JID…
JID and Denzel are longtime friends and they have a single that's not on any album, it's called Bruuuh remix you really should listen to it it's so so good
I remember the day this came out. Nobody knew who he was at that time but as soon as I heard it I knew dude would be a star in a few years
U should do 4 your eyes only by j cole, one of the best story telling albums, definitely everything u love in there
Can't wait for Dicaprio 2. Honestly you could go as far as to do Dicaprio 1 before 2 but either way it isn't that needed. Hype
