![Nine and Dex - Pecan Pie (Uncensored) [REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
Those two are 91shots - nine, handsom dexter - dex. the two producers on most pete & bas songs. They're also DJs during live shows
Yeah, they're just producers/DJs, so OBVIOUSLY Pete & Bas ghost write for them, not the other way around dammit 😋 Am I right?
@@matthewwalker5430 watch?v=Gkp_jPcBUnQ
@matthewwalker5430 not to mention Pete & Bas are older so they have more life experiences to be able to write the bars they're writing😏
They are more than that, Handsome Dexter is Addison Barnaby Baxtor and 91shots is Gibson Jonathon Charles Lewis, they are the sole 2 positioned officers in the post of Director for SinduWorld who holds the tracks for all the old guys. On BMI/SongView which you can search music copyright license information they are the only credit on most of the songs listed as writers/composers, pete and bas are listed as performers on some. They also did frank and maury? i think it was the american one.
I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt and didn't care if they don't write since most artists don't and at their age its fine but seems most likely its all an act that originally started as a skit ( as SinduWorld started with skits and most of the old guys are part time actors with Imdb pages) that blew up out of hand.
@@RickyT15 Theory I saw somewhere is that Pete & Bas are going to retire so those two step out of the shadows to jump start their own rap career. I think Nine and Dex are the writers.
I think when they're writing for Pete and Bas it's a four-way collab because there is a lot of old school references in their Pete and Bas writing that I don't think these guys are going to come up with on their own. I think Pete and Bas definitely have some input on their own shit
I was thinking the same thing. Pete and Bas use a lot of old English words that I doubt Nine and Dex can come up with. There might be some input, but I don't believe they totally write Pete and Bas' songs. It's never been a secret that they get help with modern lingo from their grandkids.
@@msliddy9744I think these guys are definitely more responsible for the lyrical content and listening to their flow and word play, I’d say these guys have to be at least 70% - 80% responsible for the lyrical content or Pete and bas’ tunes.
First guy sounds just like Bas, and I’ve noticed the recorded voice of Pete and Bas and the live performance voices of them is slightly different. The first guy “Handsome dec” had a satire comedy channel called “community_patrol”, where he would exercise a deep voice similar to Bas’.
Not to mention Sindhi world (the creators of all the songs) actually put out an audition for “Frank and Maury” (the US counterpart), looking for old people who could lip sync and act out urban genre songs.
@@dayleywhaley2420Damn, that’s concise, I’m just gonna take your words on this as gospel.
This was 🔥 tho, I dig the whole vibes. Twin Towers bar was cold AF, omg 😮
To be clear: they are not signing for Pets and Bas. That is insulting like saying the Egyptians were smart enough to build the pyramids.
Also, if anything, they definitely don't write all their lyrics. You think Pete is going to let someone write his story and history he tells? They have said, from the beginning, they write their own lyrics and their grandkids help them swap words in for modern slang. After six years of being immersed in hip-hop more any single person in here that they still don't know anything and are just bumbling around until someone gives them words and a mix? And anyone using the fact that live they have SLIGHTLY a different tone?! Are you kidding me? 99% of life music sounds different than the record if they are really playing. Now if all you know is pop music who use backing tracks for everything cause dancing and singing at the same time is hard, then sure, maybe you would think that.
But hey! Maybe aliens made the lyrics and wrote the lyrics? Who knows?!?! I'm just asking questions?!?! You weren't there!!!
@@adamcboyd u might consider upping your dosage
Pete and bas did an interview and said they wrote a lot of their lyrics with the help of their grandchildren
Yea. People are forgetting everything up to this point like they haven't been doing this for years. Also, when these are the guys producing your music and helping you start your career in your 70s then yea, maybe you will have a similar sound but not because you're copying them but because you need to look at them, Pete and Bas, Northern Boys, PKH, Normal Pain (wanna say they write for him too?), and all the others running around in that crew? Nope. People are speculating and running with it.
I also wouldn't be surprised if they used "grandsons" as a term of endearment and aren't actually related. But, unlike everyone else, I tend to try not to speculate.
Edit: I could be totally wrong on the relationship aspect but you're talking two generations apart and only 25% of shared genetics. The fact that they display phenotypes of each other may be true but it is still speculation. My major problem with it is the voice. Do you sound just like your grandpa? What about your friends or your dad? Do they sound just like their grandpa's? Usually no and people aren't thinking beyond first blush about it. But again, I am just being a proper sceptic until I know for sure as opposed to just taking a side when I only have speculative, at best, and circumstantial, at worst, evidence.
However, this doesn't mean I necessarily disagree with you. Just that everyone is guessing and then taking the assumptions of another person, who has no real information, as the gospel truth. I just don't live my life like that but I do know I also just explained every comment on the internet ever.
@@adamcboydthere's no denying bas grandson looks and sounds exactly like him 😂
@@adamcboyd Na their facial structures are to similar genetically to not have a relationship to some level, otherwise that is one hell of a coincidence.
Pete and Bas actually sent the videos to several reviewers and asked them to "give their grandsons a listen".
Pete & Bas have said their grandkids help them with writing since day one.
nine is 91 shots, dex is handsome dexter, they produced all the pete and bas stuff
I love that none of these American reaction videos pick up on the Tinky Winky’s Bag line
In addition to the oldschool slang, Pete & Bas' ability to perform the material is something they have to consider. By comparison, I think the one mark against Nine & Dex is that their voices aren't as distinct from each other. One of P&B's greatest strengths is how well their voices and styles compliment each other. Either way, it's all great, and I look forward to more from them.
i would like to see pete and bas do something with thier grandkids. that would be fire
13:57 - Yeah "Nine" is 91Shots, "Dex" is Handsome Dexter. Producers on all their stuff, DJs and hypemen for the live shows.
They've dropped a new one, boys. Nine and Dex - Ignorant Sh**
I see the reaction in the podcast.
Is that Pete and bad on the wall to the left of Eminem? 🤣👏
It is… good eye
A lot of y'all in the comments really need to grow up. You sound like a children just finding out that Santa Claus might not be real. And aren't ready to stop believing. It's always been obvious that Pete and Bas weren't writing their lyrics. That never prevented me from enjoying the music. And it still won't. I'll continue to enjoy Pete and Bas, the Northern boys, the snooker team, and now Nine and Dex. But it should now be clear to anyone, with average critical thinking skills, that Handsome Dexter (dex) and 91 shots (nine) are the visionaries behind the great music we've gotten from Pete and Bas. Pete and Bas are still brilliant in what they bring to the table though.
There's still the possibility that they co-write too!
With the absence of proof we can't rule it out.
Also, it would take some brass neck to show them writing lyrics in a music videos (longthorne shotgun) if they didn't actually write any of the lyrics 🤷♀️
Surely they wouldn't risk doing a milli vanilli so late in their career 😉
From what I’ve seen them say in interviews Pete & Bas have always been open about the fact that they write their lyrics with the help of their grandchildren.
Enjoy the music don’t judge it
I actually didn’t watch it until you guys did a reaction lool. Yeah this is straight fire. Regardless if they write as a team or not they all got great flow. Easy a+
I’m a musician. I studied classical, jazz, everything. This track is A+++++
Glad ya'll got round to this one. Top banger
The reaction I've been waiting for for nearly a week now 🙌
The hummus, flatbread, flow is just like Bas, flow in Bermondsey 2nd verse. Drive about in a blacked-out car (Beamer)
If a man try run then he won't get far (wheeler)
Moving the pack like, "Cheers mate, ta" (dealer) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
At 10:35 when you mentioned the Big L reference, I have to say that many UK rappers often use rhymes that were already used in a slightly different manner, as a sign of a tribute. Like at 2:37 there's a reference to Cuban Linx, but either you missed it or did not discuss it. Those two were to only ones I caught on this track, but maybe there's more if someone knows, please comment.
They help Pete and Bas as they're their grandkids, Pete and Bas said they write their own bars but get help for slang from them
I don't think they're literally their grandkids. 9 and Dex are likely the brains behind the whole thing and would have sought out actors for Pete and Bas.
‘You know coz white people eat hummus’ had me dying 😂
12:42 - Don't know if this will get pulled for "privacy" but Bas is Basil Preuveneers, a Notary Public in the UK with an imdb page.
Yay! You guys did it! I'm so happy 😁😁 and loving the dread growth SL very nice
"They rappin BRO!"
Honestly think it's a case of Pete & Bas do stuff and get help and vice-a-versa. Some of the bars in this are bars I really wouldn't expect somebody that age to come up with, which makes me think that Pete and/or Bas came up with it. Same with Pete & Bas songs, there are some bars I think that either required explaining or researching for somebody that age. As I said before, it's one thing having a ghost writer, but pulling off smooth flows and transitions is much easier when you're writing it yourself (or at least partially) simply because you're 'in' the music so to speak. The song is fire anyway, regardless. Something a lot of people don't comment on are the beats in Pete & Bas songs, they're fantastic, there is obvious talent there and that shows in this track too. I can't wait for more from both of them and Pete & Bas. They're clearly a musically inclined family and that's great for listeners.
Great reaction as always fellas, keep it up!
Been Waiting for you boys todo this!
This the first one they ever dropped
Oh, hell yeah. Looking forward to the reaction on this one. If I had to guess, I reckon you’re gonna like it
Yes bois been waiting for this one, a banger tune too
Mystery flavor is a result of cycling out flavors without purging the lines. It's a blend of flavors that depends on the production that day.
So it's the bologna of airheads? lol
@@AlmostJokingPod 32s ua-cam.com/video/gGCTGoW6Nvk/v-deo.html
ever have a Hi-Chew? Strawberry/Grape/Banana/Acai are A+
BEST react by far, fellas you have yourselves a new sub that can't keep the smile off his face, blessed. Props. (BIG L RIP)
I don't think they're ghostwriting for their grandfathers, it's just that the beats they setup put all four into a very similar lane. Am I alone on this one?
The writing seems really similar tbh. The way they come in on their verses, how they set up punchlines and the flow when they decide to double up is sooo similar they just collaborate on the writing for Pete & Bas.
I get a feeling we all really they fans all along because the beats and writing are so good.
Personally I just don't think it matters if they write or rap for them. It's great rap, period.
Its hip hop bro. Oh it most def matters
I think most fans of rap would naturally prefer nine and dex
Great reaction, i didnt pick up some of the things that you guys brought up! Agree with the whole situation with Pete and Bas, it was clear that the lyrics and the flows were by their grandsons (or whatever ther elationship is) but i always thought that it was genuinely Pete and Bas vocals as well, now i agree that its probably Dex doing Bas vocals, Pete's vocals on the other hand seem real.
11:29 - That Springfield bar is even harder because there's a "conspiracy" behind trying to figure out where Springfield really is in The Simpsons (though it doesn't match the maps you see, it's based off of Springfield, OR because Matt Groening is from Portland, OR (I went to the same HS as he did.)
Bas makes reference "moe sizlack"(the simpsons) in window frame pt2 proper geezers these two.😎🤙
Best reaction to this song by far. Do it proud ❤
Awesome reaction
I’m still thinking about these bars… UK drill scene is popping!
Gotta confess as someone from london you caught more bars than i did XD
91 shots is nine, dex is handsome dexter
the combo with the hummers with "hummus" and the chickpea color.....
The white air heads is random flavors 😂
Other then that. You can tell both families have mad music in their blood.
I know i wasn't tripping 😂
12:03 - The exact moment when Dash resigned himself to the fact that everything he has done up to this point needs to be scrapped and start over because he now knows the new standard to meet or beat.
Dash, as an artists and a creator, we've all been there. :) Now is you time to be a Phenix and rise from the ashes anew. I honestly would love to see you make an attempt, and honest attempt to follow the New Grime Towne sound (my term for all the Sindu label music and the current emerging genre we are witnessing the birth of at the very moment) and push yourself harder than you ever have and do just one NGT song with Sincere. It is the natural progression for all of this: the couch, the music, the friendship, and I know you studying this shit and not just hearing it; you're listening. Take some time, think about it, and break the fucking mold. The key is to be calm and let the words do the talking. You're just the messenger; a vessel that the story (and there always must be some story) flows through.
I'd be happy to chat sometime. Worked in TV and now own a VR studio. Hell! I'll scan both your faces and put you in the damn game if you want!
Do this brother. I promise, if you stick to it and do it honestly, you will only succeed from this.
Besides, we need an American version so we can call it New Grime City. Let them have the town(e). :)
- A
you guys missed one : side ride in/ridin' in a porche n' a portion of fries on the side
My man's didn't have to do Mrs. Obama like that😅😅😅
I think it's a given at this point that the writing sessions are a collaborative effort, but I don't actually care. Pete & Bas still got to perform those bars and we all know how fire they are on flow wise.
Need to start linking the videos you use in the description
Another banger reaction
I honestly just think it's a case of these young lads are helping them with a bit of the lingo and they probably showed them a few flows, but Pete and Bas are more old school east end gangster type of lyrics
Also please react to Burnin - Pete and Bas, its one of their earlier tracks and if nothing else the beat is 🔥 🔥
You got basically every bar of a uk vid. Gets a sub from me
UK be bringing the barz.
Thay sizlack ima fanipakm🐐
Tinky winky - Teletubbies show for kids.
Boys repping for the uk 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
bro pete and baz literally play, ive seen them live. its them
They clearly write for them but it's all good
As a white guy, I can confirm that we come in different flavors
😂
😩😩😩😂😂
It's amazing what you can do with AI and good music producing well in lads lol
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Went to see Pete and Bas in Manchester recently and mine was on decks. Me and my mates ask came back convinced it was nine writing for them. He sang every single lyric, kept Pete and Bas up with timings and just generally looked proud of the music. Personally glad they are now doing it themselves
Best track in 2024
These lyrics are several people in a room scheming. The wordplay is thick.
well technically pete and bas could have taught them music, having brought them up lol
Nine and Dex - Ignorant Sh** Just dropped
Have you reacted to aitch- straight rhymes?
can you react too devlin castella freestyle
People have been talking about how Bas sounds like one of the old guys from Frank and Maury, and I always thought that while similar....not the same. Now THIS GUY, sounds pretty close to Bas but dead on whoever from Frank and Maury. So for the conspiracy guys, I'm all in these two voiced frank and maury. I still don't think he's doing voice over for Bas. Now they are producing their voice virtually identically.
Just listened to Frank and Maury for the first time becayse of your comment. The song was Sticky, and the Bas voice is right, but the other one I'm hearing the PKJ voice big time.
Yeah they produced Frank and Maury. It’s all part of Sindhuworld.
Frank and Maury were just actors for the videos, while Pete and Bas have actually had to learn how to rap and become rappers in their own right (even if they don’t write / produce any of their own stuff)
@@stephenphillips8792 interesting, to be fair I was just in on the Bas side. Bas and OBVIOUSLY his kin here sound alike, but their is a difference. With Frank and Maury, it's dead on this guy (sorry bad with names).
@@awesomefrankrapid I still am 100% in on there's no way Bas at least isn't part of the writing. I'm not even sure he doesn't have a role on the beats. Bas is after all a well established attorney who taught music on the side (despite being the founder of his firm) and has his own piano album too.
An alpha male like that who's already rich, he isn't just taking a back seat like people are claiming. Pete...his history and career are less obvious. But I can't imagine they brought him in if he didn't contribute.
So while I'm sure these guys are involved, I don't buy for a second two guys who were in their 20's when Pete & Bas started are the master minds. Just sorry, Grandpa Bas didn't leave full time at his own company to do this unless he wanted it!
Maybe I'm wrong and this was all about helping the kids out. But I've never met a guy who on paper had to be worth millions and he went this far. And it isnt like they blew up right away.
These guys are obviously coaching p&b, but any similarities with f&m are because of n&d.
Dex is the comedian of the two, I'm sure he writes many of the funny bars. nine has to be the genius of the two, but they are both geniuses. Let's not discount p&b from anything, they have to be involved in the writing process (not with this track of course), but these two here are the masterminds that are making it all happen.
FUCK ALL OF YALL OPINIONS, PETE AND BAS WRITE FOR NINE AND DEX!!! 😆
I don't think they keep the hot bars for them...they keep the appropriate bars for them...think about it...70 somethings talking about Beavis and Butthead or Simpsons...nah...P&B talk about baggin snow and hitting the coffee shop.
I’m 💯 convinced… the Pete and Bas might perform it, but these guys definitely writing it!
The cadences, inflections and even the production is virtually identical.
AND it’s more than decent yo!😂😂
Then you're 💯 wrong boss. Even if they spent a year with you, you would still sound like YOU. In your scenario, these guys write all the music, then sit and teach the words and phrasing to P&B who repeat it just like them but slightly off and then live it's all them? Come on man, think it through brother. (Some are saying they're not even rapping like they're MilliVanilli which is super insulting it a ton of ways.)
@@adamcboyd aight man hold up, I said nothing more than what I have said. I didn’t say it’s not them performing, I LIKE their performances. And I can see they’re talented and well-seasoned performers. I read that one of them was an actor back in the day? That true?
I just wanna hear the story of how it came to be! They wanna leave it mysterious…keep everyone guessing, that’s their prerogative. That just makes the questions more valid, imo.
Also, it’s not “teaching someone how to sound like you.” It’s the structuring of their flows, how they like to switch back and forth with schemes and rhythms…
And after the BARS I heard tonight from these dudes, I know they have the talent to ghostwrite from the POV of an ol Cockney gangster (considering one was a lawyer, the other a mailman.)
Plus, they’ve admitted to “getting help” from their grandsons with their drill music so, I’m sure you have a better explanation for how they fell in love with rap?
@emerj101 forget the acting. Bas has 5 credits on imdb, only 4 for acting, and all are shorts.
The oldest 2017. The same year they started rapping 🤷♀️
Basil Preuveneers is known for Age Cannot Wither (2020) (credited as writer, producer, director and performer of the music). 🤯
James Bond Faces Sexual Allegations (2018).
Facing it (2018)
Over the Hill (2017)
Positive Result (2017).
Shut Ya Mouth was released 2017.
Hardly proof that he had a acting career before rapping lol
Everyone assuming the grandkids write for the old heads who have been fire for 6+ years, and not the opposite, is really interesting to me.
N & D going on the background for sure.
Why is he so caught up that they obviously help Pete and bad wrote their songs ? Get over it lad . Just enjoy a musically talented family
Because this hip hop lol ya can't change the rules. This culture been here long before you I'm assuming. Who write rhymes has always mattered!! Period
Which is why they don't write for them. They've been doing this for over 6 years and you think that after that time they haven't picked up enough to be able to do the shit on their own or immersed in culture that allows them to be exposed to all the ideas and words and slang now? They said in the beginning that they write the lyrics but their grandkids help them with the slang. So if he wants to say gun in the song he just asks for a modern name for it and they give him mash or Pete sees a bunch of memes (John Cena) and asks to have them explained once. Now he knows and can use it. Shit like that man. I mean it's not more complicated than that except adding six+ years of doing that everyday and then becoming legit and exposed to everything all the time. However these two guys are their producers for all their hit songs. If you've worked in any entertainment industry, specifically music, a producer has a major effect on the sound you put out. But they're not sitting down teaching Pete and bass how to say words and cadences and whatever. You need to give them more credit than that they're not just bumbling idiots who are empty vessels until they're given something good. Assuming so is actually, and no disrespect meant, kind of insulting the same way that people say that the Egyptians couldn't have built the pyramids. It just blanket says they're incapable because of whatever.
Do you think they write for PJK and Norman too? Everybody has the same killer bars. You need to look at this whole crew from these guys and up as basically a Wu-Tang clan thing. I argue they're even birthing a new kind of music genre with in hip hop/grime (I call New Grime Towne [the E is the English spelling]). Come on dude, think it through. "There's no way the Egyptians built the pyramids. They had hell from aliens or they were just too stupid and didn't have the technology." Until you know for sure, it's the same thing. So don't discredit them yet just because all the guys that live together (especially if related!) and broke through together sounds the same in some ways. There is even a pic of them writing in LA but now people will call it fake too. How horrible is that? They can't win now no matter what because even if they proved it, there is going to be conspiracy nuts who never let it die instead of giving them the respect they earned. These guys aren't writing raps about Pete's troubled past. You think he'd have that? Come on man, just think about it all the way through first and it doesn't work. You can't learn phrasing and flow like where they are now. You gonna take that hard work away too? You can't just reach that and you know this as a musician yourself! (Bas being a musician most of his life.) I could go on because it's all right there.
It just breaks my heart to think that there is this wonderful, beautiful, and pure thing and it's beginning to be torn down on speculation, rumor, and straight up lies people make in the comments that then get run with till they MUST be the truth. I'll leave you with this: what if they used Grandsons as a term of endearment and aren't actually related? How does that affect the assumptions?
I get what you're saying but that is all surface level without a definite answer and all the answers to these things are much deeper than at first reaction. Until they say anything, it's all speculation and I will wait until I hear different. Don't trust strangers. I even know Dexter's real name and shit he did before all this but that doesn't mean I actually know more substantive information than anyone.
I really because enamored with your podcast and personalities. Besides the refusing to listen to rap in other languages thing, this just feels bad man and you can't take it back.
Just get on more uk hip hop in general. Bar after bar
This was good but not even close to pete and bas at all. Fumes the engineers interview with pete and bas watch that.
I don't know how you write these bars. making me think they have a super intelligent AI ghostwriter to help them ghostwrite for pete and bas lol.
Lmao true. Their cultural pool is oceanic, bros are inspired.
Geniuses exist! AI didn't create Einstein, Newton, Edison, Curie, Darwin, Lennon, McCartney, Deanosaur etc lol
It's a shame that people now believe that talent can only come from AI 😔
Don't take my comment too seriously haha
From A Amended Amount of American Oil Money your the next thing
