You really have to check out “you need me, I don’t need you” Ed Sheehan studio session. 15 minutes of him with his guitar and a loop paddle creating constantly different beats while spitting. It will blow your mind
That's what I came here to say. This is one of my fav recordings of that track! Stevie really needs to do this one: ua-cam.com/video/DV0TJZ7Kp40/v-deo.htmlsi=tMzPYZGUo9yhcqvF
Stevie I’m English I can’t put into words how Iconic it is for Devlin & Ed to be back on another track together!! For those that don’t know check out their old song young guns together & Stevie you’ve got to see Devs legendary fire in the booth and his community outcast track it still rings true to today about the UK + I still listen to his London city, he’s from my hometown Dagenham. Dev was one of the best leading grime back in the day & ed has apart of grime from the beginning listen to his I don’t need you. Two English legends! ❤️🇬🇧
I grew up with Ed, and there’s nothing “real” about him. He grew up in a middle-upper class environment but always thought he was some little chav. Used to try and buy weed but people would just bump him time and again, but it didn’t stop him trying. Musically he’s about as generic and beige as it gets. Like someone created a wheel of basic topics and he just spins it and writes whatever it lands on. Utter shit, and a bellend to boot.
Would love to see you check out “you need me, I don’t need you” Ed Sheeran Live room! Its Ed creating the song on a loop machine and rapping over it! It one of the first things that really hit for Ed and helped SBTV grow.
Devlin and Sheeran have known each other for a looooong time... they go back to at least 2010. And it's no surprise to me Ed can rap, he has done so in the past, he's a great songwriter and has been dropping bars here and there in his songs.
two bob (uncountable) (UK, Australia, obsolete) Two shillings; a florin. (Australia, slang) A 20-cent coin. (idiomatic, UK, Australia, often attributive) A trivially small value
Ed Sheeren VH1 live performing You Need Me. Ed singing, beatboxing with a loop pedal (before everyone was doing it), and rapping. Really impressive stuff.
A 'bob' was the slang word for a Shilling, which was worth 12 old pennies in the UK. In today's money its the same as 50p, so 2 bob = £1. He's saying that the other rappers are cheap 😀😀
2 bob was 2 shillings. A 2 bob coin was known as a 2 bob bit. In Cockney rhyming slang 2 bob bit = shit. Like loads of rhyming slang it was shortened to 2 bob = shit
Bro, Devlin is a UK GOAT, he is an absolute spitter, the fact he doesn’t have much credibility outside the UK is a sin. Check his Fire In The Booths, Castella, Corned Beef City and Zdot Freestyles and singles like Off With Their Heads ft Wretch, The Garden, Really Cold, Community Outcast and London City…. He’s mad on the mic. And you’re correct about Devlin being a polished rapper, that man’s been going hard since he was 15 years young, goes cold
I fuck with Devlin for quite awhile but I will say when he was young he just sounded a lot better. Not just the voice but his flow and his bars were doper imo.
you missed almost every devlin bar. shows how crazy dude is. He's been one of the best on the planet for 15 years bro. real OG. go right back to the start of the tune and REALLY pay attention, theres a whole ass money scheme in there, for like 15 lines.
@@BK-gh2oz if the delivery isn't for you, you're probably never going to like the dude. He has a unique kind of flow/cadence. I recommend listening to his Daily Duppy to get a solid opinion, because If you don't like that, you won't like Devlin in general. He raps over Eminem's 'forgot about dre' beat.
As a guy from the uk i do highly recommend you do your reaserch on devlin he is one of or if not the best uk grime artists that came out his freestyles are like no other you really need check out alot of his music he is extremely talented although given i can appreciate it maybe hard to understand some of the english slang but honestly please do more reaction vids to devlin he is incredible!!
it's amazing to think I got to see devlin and ed and wretch 32 all on the stage on the same night on the 21/01/2012... *the ticket is in a frame next to me* to see ed do you need me man with a loop pedal was so cool. years before he sold out stadiums!
Stevie my dude I’ve been WAITING to see devlin on your channel and he still didn’t even get in the title of the video 😭 GIVE DEVLIN THE FLOWERS HE DESERVES 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
2 bob = 2 shillings, pre-decimalisation. 1 pound was 20 shillings, one shilling was 12 pence hence 240d (pence) per pound. Used to have a 2-bob note over here before 1973. The pound was originally a pound of silver, so a shilling was 1/20th of a pound of silver.
I know im a few months late but im so freaking glad you discovered Devlin. Hes been famous in the UK grime scene for about 20 years. One of the most underrated. Please do more reactions to his freestyles 🙏 Especially when he was on Westwood with Ghetts and more with Sheeran.
"I give them two barrels like lock stock" Guy Richies first movie Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels Also ofc the Scissorhand bar at the start was a movie bar too for Ed being there. Edward Scissorhands, there is just other UK rapper with that name too so might be showing love to that direction also.
Been rapping from early and done alot with Devlin. Devlin is a UK 🐐 Ed is a living legend Glad he came back to his roots UK 🇬🇧 stand up Trust me my brother DEVLIN is worth checking out he is certified all his early tracks/freestyles and his fire in the booth. He inspired Ed Sheeran too as Ed mentions Devlins work Tales From The Crypt and Bud Sweat & Beers
Sorry but as a bar listener saying Devlins 1st verse's "flow was cool" and "it wasn't the maddest shit ever" is a huge understatement. Just the first 2 bars were enough wordplay to outdo a majority of artists in the art form across the board. Like an equation it figures. Simply cold double entendre Cos an equation is the means towards the end result but at the same time it is the end result cos thats what it equaled. Very perplex for such little words We're off the scale, but not shedding our skin like lizards Scales coming off of lizards, off the scale like how its meant literally inconceivable limitions and not shedding like lizards which is just a cherrie on top that's 2 double entendres in 2 lines let that sink in... To say Devlins first verse is just cool, wow you've got to bar up just a tad bit more and slow it down cos the guy is a rapid fire m16 as he said and it's fucked what he puts together even after how many bars have been made up until now. And these are originals
"two bob" is a reference to old british money before it became decimalised, when we used shillings etc before pennies and pounds, so it is a double bar. Just a very British one lol
Stevie I've been waiting for you to hear Devlin! Please go back and listen to his first sbtv and fire in the booth, they are legendary, you will appreciate the bars, he is one of the pioneers in the UK grime scene
First time i ever heard ed he was spitting and singing and was sick at both but obviously hes made his money in the charts singing but hes always had bars
Ed started out in the grime scene his been rapping for time and then moved to more radio friendly tunes because he saw thats where the money was to be made fast
People don’t realise Ed Sheeran helped start UK grime. Without that UK rap/grime/garage would be so different. Needs his flowers. He has an album of grime collabs.
Damm i was suprised Stevie caught tha star-past bar. I wouldnt hae either 5 year ago. I guess Startalk by NDT and lord Nice is more prevelant than i thought.

Eds been rapping from early, especially with devlin
Yes, its where he started 🙌🏽❤

I don't know why people are surprised. He has said listening to Eminem used to make him want to be a rapper before he became a singer.

@@christopheryoxall5654
I'm English and Devlin overrated I'd smash him
Ed's support for the UK grime scene is awesome. He pays his pop success forward to the scene. Never lost his roots. Proper rock star.
Devlin was the one who discovered Ed when he was homeless and busking on the streets, ofcourse he shows up for his man :)
@@EskyIsAlive Ed was never homeless. He had a stable family at home. He just chose to sofa surf at a time when he was broke and trying to make it.
try tell wiley that 😂😂😂
I love how real Ed is. It can’t be easy to be as real, normal and ordinary as Ed is with the money + fame he’s earned.
Trust
Don’t think the money burdens him😅
facts
He just had no soul to sell

He doesn't get even half the flowers he deserves bro. Dev is fire asf
🔥🔥100 percent
He’s up there, we’ve got so much talent here it’s unreal
Ed Sheeren VH1 live performing You Need Me. Ed singing, beatboxing with a loop pedal (before everyone was doing it), and rapping. Really impressive stuff.
Devs bar “I give em both barrels like lock stock” as in the movie ‘Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ easy bar that gets missed and it’s 🔥
Devlin is an OG. Great to hear him spitting fire again

Ed is good friends with em too. So it makes sense. Look at the track Ed did with Russ.

First time hearing him. He’s nice with it but I personally don’t like his delivery.
I’ve been on devlins music since 2006 I was 12! Been to loads of his shows. My favourite UK artist by a long long way 🤟🏻🤟🏻

Great reaction 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 bars were 🔥
Ed was a rapper first. He got over his stutter by rapping Em verses. He realized he would have more success singing and songwriting.
DEVLIN, hes sooo underrated!!
I’m annoyed he didn’t even get in the title of the vid!! 🤯
@@ryanhooper221 hes criminally unknown. I can't understand why he never raised to the surface, glad ed is giving him his light now
I know it’s savage! Been on his music since 2006! Been to his shows etc so underrated 😂😭
Exactly!!
dillon and marley two high value bobs but when you say something like "i'll give you two bob for it" that's a derisory valuation of worth

As much as Em and Ed do together in the studio and at concerts they need to rap together fr! Straight 🔥
Don't they have a rap song together with 50, remember the name was it
Devlins is a GOAT his F64 is legendary

And he missed everything devlin said
literally everything he said @@andrewdonaldson8369
@@andrewdonaldson8369Pretty much 😂
i feel Devlin is so undertated bruh when he first popped onto the scene he went insane
Gotta agree with you Stevie.. There's bars then there's BARZ!! It's all about how they hit and how hard they are
2 bob = 2 shillings, pre-decimalisation. 1 pound was 20 shillings, one shilling was 12 pence hence 240d (pence) per pound. Used to have a 2-bob note over here before 1973. The pound was originally a pound of silver, so a shilling was 1/20th of a pound of silver.
Stevie, you’re right ‘two bob note’ aka a ‘fake’ pound note, from back in the day when we had pound notes. Enjoying you work as always.
"Millwall Lions Den" is a reference to Millwall FC (football/soccer team) playing at The Den
I know im a few months late but im so freaking glad you discovered Devlin. Hes been famous in the UK grime scene for about 20 years. One of the most underrated. Please do more reactions to his freestyles 🙏 Especially when he was on Westwood with Ghetts and more with Sheeran.
Lol after devlin "I caught everything it wasnt anything too crazy" yeah you didnt catch everything lmao
It's time for the Devlin Fire in the booth!
Yes! 💯
Wow I did not get that Star Bar at all until you explained it LOL
Devlin is the Goat of Grime, hands down 🙌, the dude has been killing it since i was a teen, im 32 now, hes definitely got longevity 😎 🏴
Slang term for the old English shilling was a bob so he said 2 bob with that meaning to make a double 👍👍
It was a movie bar, and hee wrapped it up with "STEVEN speil here" (Steven Spielberg) 8:50
"I give them two barrels like lock stock" Guy Richies first movie Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Also ofc the Scissorhand bar at the start was a movie bar too for Ed being there. Edward Scissorhands, there is just other UK rapper with that name too so might be showing love to that direction also.
jesus watching that again is a throw back, that must of been about nearly 20 years ago that freestyle! that was the earlyyyyyy early days! lol
Devlin and ed have been pals for years! When them two colab you know its gonna be fire! Check out devlins earlier stuff, ART OF ROLLING! SICK MIXTAPE
Been rapping from early and done alot with Devlin.

You definitely need to check out more devlin
You have to finally react to you need me I don’t need you in the live room by ed . Been requesting for YEARS now
Glad you kinda cleaned it up towards the end. Homie waay more smooth, Ed has the punches more. But other dude more 🔥 to me. Hes rapping rapping.
Ed & Devs go way back, mind Dev is a rapper, Ed is a singer who LOVES rap.imo they killed it. (2 Bob means 2 shillings English coin)
I love how people keep saying they go way back, as if the video doesn’t start with a video of them rapping 13 years ago 😂
"two bob" is a reference to old british money before it became decimalised, when we used shillings etc before pennies and pounds, so it is a double bar. Just a very British one lol

Listen to any of Devlins fire in the booths 🔥also listen to Jordan- travelling Man please
2 Bob is old money in the UK,a Bob was worth pennies
Devlin is one of the hardest OG rappers to come out of the UK
Ed got some bars, he even got a EP with Yelawolf called Slumdon Bridge
First time i ever heard ed he was spitting and singing and was sick at both but obviously hes made his money in the charts singing but hes always had bars
2 Bob is English slang it mean cheap in certain areas.
Ed started out in the grime scene his been rapping for time and then moved to more radio friendly tunes because he saw thats where the money was to be made fast
2 Bob was a 2 shilling piece in old money before decimilisation in the uk in the 70’s I think it was
That 2 bob line was a BAR!
Dirty devils and Edward scissors - just a reference or introduction to their names at the beginning stevie 😎
lol respect for that wild explanation of “living at the star” when it clearly says “living at the start” right on the video
Dont sleep on Devlin
I LOVED Ed and Yelawolf's collabs.
Stevie you gotta react to more of devlins stuff, he's one of the best UK rappers
Ed started off rapping,check out some his earlier stuff. Also his other freestyles with devlin
they said yeah we were waiting for this...
"are you accountable for this?"
There’s loads of Ed and Devlin, you’ll be amazed! Check devlins 1st fire in the booth🔥🔥🔥

Waiting on that Pete & Bas reaction for Longthorne Shotgun.
Hey Stevie, please do "you need me i don't need you" Ed practically disses other artists there and RAPs Raps man!
You should listen to Ed Sheeran’s you need me live lounge… he’s been rapping since before he was a famous pop star 🙏🏼😌
"2 bob" is slang for 10 or 20 pence(im not sure which) in UK money, and is also used as an insult to describe someone as worthless.
2 bob is also a term referring to old english money
Listen to 'Devlin - Bitches' 👌👌👌
I'm here for the ED bars!
The two bob is slang for 10 pence in Money its a very old term from like the 50s
Have you heard him do his video where he does in da club and reggae mix crazy man that man’s talented af

They move or make moves?
Wow.. talent is real.
“Bud, sweat and beers” is an awesome line
People don’t realise Ed Sheeran helped start UK grime. Without that UK rap/grime/garage would be so different.
Needs his flowers.
He has an album of grime collabs.
Ed might be one of the greatest pop stars of all time, but you can tell it is Hip Hop music that he usually listens to when off the clock.
Yeah that’s facts
He’s as generic as it gets. Not one ounce of introspection in his music whatsoever.
If you haven't already, you should listen to Ed Sheeran, Future, and Taylor Swift on "END GAME". I love that one.
