Pete and Bas reaction videos are a whole genre of their own at this point.
That line that goes "mess with the cake and I'll battenburg him" goes hard, battenburg is a type of cake in a checkered pattern, made by cutting it into pieces and rearranging it, and in the UK, ambulances have a checkered pattern on the side, so, he's saying if someone messes with the money/product, he'll cut them up and put them in an ambulance
UK Slang. New Skill acquired ✅
That's actually crazy 💀
HOOOOOLY wordplay damnnnn
Me:
Vocabulary + 1
It's Battenburg btw
The MLK Hoover scheme is wild. J Edgar Hoover formerly head of the CIA is theorized to be behind the MLK assaination and other deathly doings detailed in the book Hoover's Nightmare, which bridge's the Freddy Kruger line, followed by sleep with the fishes line about death but then the hoover dam named after j edgar hoover is famous Vegas Mob dumping ground along with mead lake where many have been sent to the depths with the fish. Truly wild
Yes, I'm so glad that there are other people who can fully interpret the depth of their word play. People who get the gist but not the depth of all of the actual meanings... Their minds would literally be blown! 🤯
Quardriple Entendres!!!!
JUST TO LET YOU KNOW: Bas (the tall one) is a professional musician by trade. He is also was a music teacher and could play multiple instruments such as the sax and trumpet. That is the reason he has such lungs and breath control. It's easy for him! If you listen closely, Bas' flow sounds like a COLTRANE or CHARLIE PARKER solo the way he rides a beat. He said he spent a number of years playing jazz piano aboard a cruise ship. Now where do a lot of cruise ships go? The brother on the left is right. They have seen and done so much. The British love to travel. It is also said that Bas was a bare knuckle backyard fighter in his youth and was pretty damn good.
Pete said that because of his fast South London Cockney style of speaking, it made rapping pretty easy for him. Remember, Pete started listening to drill rap when he would pick up his granddaughter. She would get in and turn it on, and he would turn it off. over time, he would start listening to it on his own. Then one day, he got the idea...
The UK is the home of creative writing styles: poems, limericks, nursery rhymes, shanties, etc.
Seriously! There's some solid Giant Steps moments in some of his flows.
Nice one for this 🤝
You wrote only facts here. ☝️👏👍
"UK is the home of limericks"
How to piss off an entire Irish county.
@Alex O'Hare Well, they will get over it . I thought that included BOTH islands. My bad. Besides, Pete said he's part Irish.
I can’t stop watching Pete and Bas. They’re just so unique and entertaining.
Literally just keep going to reactions to literally just solidify how raw they are.
Yeah. They both dope af.
They’re the best rappers in the uk, deadass in my top 5; Nines, Dave, skep, Pete & bas
It's the fact that it's a gimmick but behind that they're actually amazing rappers, no one has the bars, punch, flows and back to back like them. Also crazy beat selection
@@bigschlongdave3771 I'd swap Dave for Stormzy, but yeah that's just about my top 5 UK's too!
They are definitely writing their own lyrics. Some of the references and even language they are using are old and even for a UK listener like me, you have to be a certain age to get the references or even use certain phrases. Enjoyed the reaction.
They are! their sons used to help em out at first but literally everything since has been written by them
Very true.
Yup. Sindhu makes the beats, then it goes to P&B who write lyrics for the beat. Then P&B get with their grandkids to double check the lingo to make sure it makes sense (since most people listening to grime and drill weren't growing up in the 60s and 70s). Then they go to NineOneShots for production.
I grew up back in the day!!! I get what they are saying!!!
Pete's flow has also been good but you can really tell he has worked on it alot
If you listen to their shit chronologically he has really improved track to track. Bas has been a musician his whole life so he started of with a more musical flow but Pete caught up pretty quick (this whole drill rap thing being Pete's idea in the first place)
I think I've turned into a Pete and Bas junkie. I just can't get enough.
Same here, the algo knows about it and keeps sending us more reactions 😂
Me too!!! I’m from the U.K. my son told me about them!!!
Box a man down like eating jolof, we have a saying im Jamaica when you eat anything really quickly, we say" yoh bredda yuh box dat dat down quick quick" hey bro you ate that really quickly.
“The man got shelled on (Sheldon) like big bang theory” 🔫🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Switch suits like Mr Ben" line is in reference to UK kids TV show called Mr Ben and in the show he used to go to a costume store try on different costumes and would have an adventure while in the changing room in said outfit (kind of like magic) , suit of armour and he would be transported to olden times and fight a dragon basically. Each episode he tried on a different suit as he says in the line.
This was a 10/10 for me the flow switches were effortless and bars were insane. They’re too technical
Facts ✊☝️💯🔥
Bro I've listened to this song like 10 times and seen 15 reactions and I'm still hearing new twist and turn to this song it is so fire good s***
“I was locked in an HMP” goes hard!
You know Bas is widdit
"Mess with the cake and I'll battenburg" him, Battenburg is a kind of cake in a checkerboard pattern, and ambulances in the the UK are checkerboard patterned.
"Don't care about colors, black or white we can be brothers!" I'm in!! Keep rockin it mates the vibes is pure fire.
“Sleep to the sound of the Hoover” I wonder if he was talking about president Hoover who was president during mlk era connecting to the previous bar
@@dragonfistotto9201 Hoover wasn't president during MLK era. Kennedy and LBJ were. Hoover was probably a reverence to J. Edgar Hoover who was director of the FBI in that era. Implying he had something to do with MLK murdah.
"I was locked in an HMP" - Her Majesty's Prison, there's a video of Bas getting picked up from the prison and there was a 6 month or so break in touring and music production while he was inside.
Omg this was a joke 🤣
They took a real break after a busy year. You can't get sunburnt in prison lol
@@deanosaur808 bro why you in everyone’s comments 😂 getting jealous over two old men get a love you clown 🤡
@@deanosaur808 See though, if you left your basement every now and then, you would know that its really fn easy to get sunburn from being outside for 2 hours.
Lmao these childish fans really need to believe the satire because enjoying the characters is too hard for them if they aren't "certi"
They're old fucking family men. Stop demanding that they're real mobsters
Aside from piecing them up like a battenberg cake & ambulances having checkers like battenberg cake....Also, there were 2 princes of Battenberg who were hemophiliacs. Hemophilia is when you bleed & can't stop. Then there's the battenberg gun carriage that they use to transport coffins on. They referenced sooo many things in this verse that are cohesive. They're fck'n genius.
Caught them live other week in Swansea, dope shit
I don't care what their back story is, the stories they tell now and how they bring them are pure fire.
When I saw one of their videos for the first time I was thinking Pete and Bas are some famous UK rappers I don’t know about, who hired two grandpas to be in their videos and act like they’re rapping.
Like the guy said here, the flow is just to perfect, and the vocals are so hard, I just had trouble believing it was them.
It's them
Bruh i just found out about them with this video, what the hell this is insane, sick flow, please do more ahah
Go watch there Fumez The Engineer
What I like about Pete & Bas compared to other drill is that they speak of their past and it's okay, whereas young drillers make me want to smack them in the head and send them back to school sometimes when they're talking dumb, but P&B have made it so far that at their age it's okay to flex that way
These dudes are legit with the gangster shit they talk about. Cause these guys were legit gang leaders and members many years ago. Hell, Bas was in prison before the release of "Mr. Worldwide" and like 2 other songs.
Hahaha you’ve ate it all up bro. It’s all fake
@@liammurphy6063 one of them was in prison in the 90s
@@zXPeterz14 so was my uncle and he’s a fanny
@@liammurphy6063 love it
@@liammurphy6063 So because you're uncle was, everyone else thats been to HMP is as well? Sorry bro, you ain't that special.
What y'all don't is that these Kats are REAL British O.G.'s. The reason they can rhyme is because they know Manchester rhyming slang. It's a language that the English criminal and underground kulture use so that squares and cops can't tell what they're talking about. It's been around for a long time over a hundred years. That's where these old dudes are from. I did a little research and both these Kats have done time, but they don't like to talk about it. Remember in England most people are white including the poor, and that's usually where the gangster class is from (they call gangs firms there). They usually big up there firm on most tracks.
That actually makes sense now. I believe the Manchester rhyming is called *Cockney*. (I think)
Bas: "1-2 kicked in the door like knock down ginger rip off the hinges" is what we called a ngg* knock in NY. Banging on someones door and running lol.
Pete was a bare knuckle boxer...he was good at it and is about bas is musically inclined but he was also a hustler also did some time when he was younger...for the most part they lived it
Nah
@@HotdogSosage it's true
these dudes could be some triple OGs , They were holding it down in 80s
"they lived life" this is so important... these old heads are the realist shit out there...
1:36 that bar about MLK then straight into a bar about a nightmare is crazy wtf.
Would love to see your reaction to - Meeks - Daily Duppy , it’s top 3 no doubt
They get better and better
Pete was wrapped up with the Kray twins back in the day and Bas had a fighting ring and grow room, and fought a murder charge at one point. They're legit old school thugs
You sure it wasn't the Richardsons? Pete is from South London which was ran by the Richardsons, the Kray Twins ran East London and had a direct rivalry with the crew that ran South London.
Everybody misses the Ben 10 reference
"Then I switch suits like I'm Mr. Benn
10/10 gear I shift up to fifth"
Might be a Ben 10 reference, but it's definitely a UK cartoon reference. Tin Tin was an extremely popular animated kids' show that aired during the same timeframe as Mr. Ben. I suppose it might be possible that it was triple reference (Mr. Ben/Ben 10/Tin Tin). Might even be a reference to the UK car show Top Gear (10 out of 10 is a top rating, then bas follows that with a reference to shifting gears up to fifth).
@@sinnison23 all very valid points. His lyrics has layers.
Pete and Bas were naughty in their day. They write about things that happened to them and what they did.
They certainly did lead a G life
The reason they sound like they know what they’re rapping about is because they were old school gangsters back in the day
Dude I can’t stop listening to this song
If you know UK slang and pop culture, they’re even more incredible. Every other line has a double or triple meaning.
Mr. Benn was a character on a kids tv show from the 1970’s. He would change into various clothes in his walk-in closet and then step out into whatever time/place/scenario his costume dictated.
Bas picked up on that and started his next line with “Tin-Tin”, which was another UK kids show from the time.
Battenberg is a cake made in a checkerboard pattern … but also slang for an ambulance (because of the checkered pattern on the side). “Mess with the cake and I’ll Battenberg him” is a phenomenal bar.
Knock Down Ginger is what we call “Ding Dong Ditch” here in the States.
Mash = gun (in another one of their songs, Bas says he’s “banging that mash like English Breakfast”, which is just brilliant because “bangers and mash” is a traditional breakfast in the UK.)
Ben Sherman = men’s clothing line (a bit dated, LOL)
HMP = Her majesty’s prison
Chain hang like bollocks = his chains are so heavy they swing like his manly bits
Cone get split like Chevron = splitting your head open like the V in the Chevron symbol
Also … Bas used to be a bare knuckle fighter in the day and I forget which gang Pete ran with. You’re not wrong to note the potential mob connection. The stuff they rap about … pig farms, bodies in the trash and cementing people into buildings is straight mob shit.
I love these guys. They make my heart smile every day. They also scare the crap out of me because I’m pretty sure they’re serious. 😂😂😂
Thanks for this breakdown!
I know im late to the party here but i hope you see this, Bas just recently got out of prison on drug trafficking charges, they really out here doing this shit
these geezers are buttery smooth luv em
luv these guys hope u do more , yes its all them , baz recently came outta prison thats what he was saying hmp prison
He wasn't in prison! It's was just a joke lol
@@deanosaur808 Why won't you provide proof that it was a joke?
That's the difference between the old school gangsters and the gangbangers of today. Gangsters are chill until you cross them, disrespect or step on their toes. Gangbangers are on it 24/7, just look at them and you'll suffer. There's a reason that the old gangsters were well respected and even loved in their neighbourhoods, they looked after the people and the place. They had self-imposed rules and lines they didn't cross, like robbing old ladies and messing with the old bill (police). Sadly new drugs came along that brought with it enormous sums of money, and the old gangsters rapidly got replaced by the youngsters who didn't care about their street, let alone their neighbourhood. The money corrupted them. They'd rob an old woman for her purse just for the fear it caused. They didn't help a lady cross the street with her bags, or give money to a struggling single mother so she could feed her kids another day or put some money on the electric meter - something the old gangsters were well known for and part of the reason they were loved and respected. When you look at how things were back then and compare it to today, you can clearly see why it's better to be loved and respected than feared and hated.
You guys know that 95% of these young rappers don't be doing what that talking about. This is art.and it's masterful.
They are original old time gangsters. Pete worked for the richardson family an original london gangster family, bas was a bare knuckle boxer in his dads ring and worked for the krays
Easily my favourite freestyle that mentions HP Printers.
I’m almost sure they’re part of a wider team that writes the lyrics but it’s entertainment and as you say their delivery is insane and are true performers.
Breaking him down like steps on the back of the box … i bet he take that.
BACK of the BOX…. BETTY take that
CAKE MIX 🤯
Dude they were about that life. Look em up they going down memory lane 🤣
And people saying Nas is old 😂
My guy made making a drink sound interesting af 😂
Just wanted to add in a few explanations to some very British references in their bars, 1. "The bouncer came out and he got weighed in" Weighed in means knocked out. 2. "Then I'm switch suits like I'm Mr Benn" Mr Benn was an 80's kids TV cartoon in the UK where the main character dressed up in different costumes in a costume shop. 3. "I dodged the case, so I flipped the bird" This means i didn't get prosecuted and didn't need to go to prison (Doing Bird). 4. "mess with the cake then I'll Battenberg him" Cake meaning drugs & Battenberg is a type of cake eaten with tea in the UK. 5. "dipped like a Rich Tea biscuit" Popular British biscuit (We do love our Biscuits). 6. "Knock Down Ginger" game played by kids in the UK where you know at someone's door and leg it to wind them up. 7. "Box a man back like I'm munching jollof" Jollof is Nigerian Rice. 8. "Super Kings and a bottle of bourbon" Super Kings are very long Cigarettes sold in the UK. 9. "Let that rip when I'm whipping that German" German refers to a BMW Car. 10. "Flick of the wrist and I left him gurning" Gurning is a weird distorted facial expression (Just Google "Gurning" and look at Photos, You'll understand!) 11. "Just stepped out in a fresh Ben Sherman" Ben Sherman make Shirts. 12. "I was locked in an HMP" HMP is Her Majesty's Prison. 13. "Del Boy, Peckham, they recognise me" This refers to Del Boy the main character of at UK TV Show called Only Fools & Horses (Arguably the Best Sit Com we ever made). 14. "Then he'll get cemented, builder's site" Buried in a Building site. 15. "cone get split like Chevron" on UK motorways they sometimes have Chevron markers that tell you to stay 2 metres apart. 16. "Chavving his jewels" Chavving means Stealing. Hope this helps our American Cousins :P
The battenberg line is referencing the checkered markings on the side of emergency service vehicles, UK ambulances all have yellow and green battenberg markings. Cake is slang for money as well. It's most likely an intended double, but if not the previous line implies that cake is money and he's saying mess with his money and he'll put you in the back of an ambulance.
I don't know if someone writes there bars.. but even if someone did which I don't think. The delivery is on point
AFAIK they write but have some help from their grandkids with the slang
The five star Michelin bar is also reference to drugs "Five star food" FOOD = Drugs
Much love and blessings to Pete and Bas.❤
They talk like proper old skool cockney boys from what I can tell by the use of their language.
You guys appreciate exactly what I appreciate about these guys. I don't usually care for reaction vids but I've been enjoying yours. Please continue making them; you both have good taste..
Guys they were part of the old London firm's basically not to be messed with the are d real deal
WHY DO THESE REACTION VIDEOS KEEP ON PAUSING 🤬 LISTEN THEN GO BACK OVER AND ANALYSE 🤬
they are referencing MLK being murdered by the FBI (when they say hoover, for J Edgar Hoover the director of the FBI at the time). Smart lyrics
I worry about the dumbing down of each generation bc we'll never have bars like this again if we keep this direction. Big up to the people in the comments for deepening my understanding 💓
Pete rarely speaks about it (the short one) but he was in the Richardson gang which is basically the UK version of the Capone gang. There is also a lot of talk about Bas being a drug dealer in the 70s but he worked for a famous club and the owners always got him out of trouble. OG gangsters for real for real
These guys have real history of you look them up. Bas's family used to run an illegal boxing ring back in the day and Pete had a murder case from the 60's that caught up with him in the 90's and he beat the case but they were really from the streets
Bas has just come out of prison 😂
Fake news 🤣
Don't tell me that Pete doesn't remind you of DMX with his voice and attitude. This is the gentleman gangster version of DMX 😂😂😂
& he gon give it to em! RIP DMX
Dudes done some stuff. Nuff said..
"Can yall stop, you ain't doing this" *literally ignoring almost all rappers are lying*
Their joint reaction at 3:42 is exactly what I did when I first heard this song!
To clarify this double: "Spin ya all the way round like ink rollers inside of an HP printer
You better hope this bing don't jam" i) Rap game - the song is so vibe-y that one want's to move to it (dance/spin), & other rapers should hope this track will not jam that much (won't be popular). ii) Mob - usually if there is a planned execution/assassination by shooting (spinning), the victim should hope the gun will not jam, because the plan b is usually improvised and thus much more painful (e.g. blunt weapon, knife, asphyxiation)
To clarify this double: "Box. Rectangle. Dashed in the ground all bruised and mangled. Grim. Grab the cup, pass the Gin. Grab the Lime, chopped it up. Popped the cap, poured it in."
This is not just about mixed drink making.
Mob - A rectangular box in the ground is a coffin, but the victim is too grim looking for a burial. Quicklime is used to dispose of body, which are usually chopped up first, so that they decompose faster & are much less detectable. So they popped the cap on quicklime and poured it in to hide the evidence.
that white beard has a rick and morty drool vibe
You guys get it, the first ones to get the Michelin 5 star restaurant reference. Smart dudes - well done. If you had Nigerian jollof rice you'd get it. Awesome stuff
There's even more layers, 'food' is slang for drugs.
That Michelin line is not only about tires BUT also about Michelin stars, how restaurants are rated. These men bodied this.
They peeped it
Bro, these guys aren't faking it...they are legit old school UK Gangsters
I’m snatching his bird and thunder. Thunderbirds
Yo vibe been watching yalls channel progress SO FAR, yalls setup looking hella nice, this joint is so them I love it 🤙🏼
Yooo, guys!
Been following for a LOOONG ass time, and I would just like to say that I like it more when you keep the reeinds in fully.
No need to cut them out like you did in this one.
Just an opinion, anyways big fan, good shit!
The Kings of UK Drill ☝️💯🔥👏❤️✊💪😎
The man got shelled on big bag theory!!!! 😂
You guys would enjoy it 1000% more if you understood 50% of the references, I mean even the first few bars were based around falling asleep and the shelled-on Big Bang theory is such a class bar but there’s so much going on and so many references that you half to listen to it 10 times to get almost all of them n there’s prolly more 😂😂😂😂
To me its funny everyone questions if its their own Lyrics, forgetting about chuck d(62), rakim(54) or krs one(57) some of the originators still rocking the mic today. Noone would ever question any of them writing their Lyrics .....
(P) I mean, you said it. The guys you mentioned are OG’s. Not being familiar with Pete & Bas it’s fair to question so we know and understand. They’re fire though 🔥🔥🔥
@@VibeVilla Except, the majority of people don't question it. Those people just decided that two old white guys from South London *must* use ghostwriters, despite the numerous occasions where P&B have clarified (during both youtube interviews and for big name publications like Rolling Stone) that they do not use them.
Kissed the curb, whats the word, I dodged the case so I flipped the bird... HOTTEST transition I've ever fucking heard...
Locked in an HMP+ Her Majesteys Prison. Box + Strret talk for eat, So box amn back like Im munching Jollof = Hitting a man backwards as easy as eating Jollof. Thank me later
Cockney rhyming slang geeza, that's why it sounds natural, some of the old London talk was made up of the rhyming word, but not the actual word, so foreigners didn't know what they was saying, frog = Road, from the rhyming frog and toad ,road !etc,, . ps,great reaction 😎
So many of the words mean two things at once. Box means boxing 🥊 but the next word is rectangle and the word box was a coffin ⚰️. You would have to listen or repeat and write an essay to really know the lyrics (and look up cockney rhyming slang and maybe watch Fools and Horses)
Age ain’t nothing but a number. Represent
So just pointing this out... They talk about I dream like Martin Luther, and then the last line of the verse is Don't care about colors, black or white we could be brothers... There's so many subtleties to this.
Closest comparison I can think of with the back and forth will be Jadakiss and Styles P. I wouldn't see that equal to Styles and Jada but then the closest I've ever heard with a sheet just sound natural. This shit is crazy
Bas was a barrister & Pete grew up "pinchin & nickin" stuff & things (like cars) & his peoples got him into more thuggish tendencies like racketeering for example... They're both 70+ & have seen a whole lot in life.
The best for me if the MLK one he said fall asleep to the sound of the hoover, j edgar get it??
In london, we are really multicultural don't get it twisted poor is poor we mix like cement and form hard.💯🤛🏼
most of the lingo London slang. They are/were legit gangsters. They have help form younger family members for the the latest stuff from youth culture like crypto etc, but most of the lingo is the same age as them. (I am from the UK and understand all but a few references to US rap artists and one or two others
Been waiting on this from you 2
Agism man… what happens when u judge a book by its cover. They can rap nothing else to add… they can rap.
Legit
You guys get it. Face value honesty. Cool vibe. New subber!
check out nine and dex, they are pete and bas grandsons and they spit like CRAZY🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why my boy got his beard white like that yo? Looks like c… 😂
Love ✌️🫶keep it up guys
I will say again - even without the words on screen I can understand what they're saying but can't understand younger rappers 🤔🤔
Getting dipped means being shanked
It sucks when reactors arent neccessarily told to react but they know, just as much as we do, and the post a video okayin the the "not knowing" nd lets be honest since they are not actors, it just makes it sad
Pete and Bas are the mutt's nut's!
Keep em coming!
They're the real deal UK'S finest!
Just to let you know they both have lots of history pretty sure Pete was a gangster with a famous london gang
