I'm glad you enjoyed them! Amateur Wordsmith is definitely very different from the sort of stuff I have ended up making. In fact, it's a lot older than you might realise. It was published 5 years ago but I actually made it 2 years before that and sat on it unfinished for ages. In 2016 I decided I should really just something with it so I finished the last 20% of the video and put it up so it's actually about 7 years old at this point. I agree in hindsight that the topic is a bit cliché! It's certainly not something I'd do now, though I am tempted to remake/reinterpret it for a big milestone. A sort of semi-sequel about the journey since the original that's more in line with my current content style and less relying on tropes. Will have to see how that pans out!

[@theorbitalbanana4409]

Hello

[@debbiewilson8515]

Stupendium hey

[@Insaneian]

Oh wow! I had no idea it was from so long ago! Yeah, I have early songs like that myself (which, as I think on it, are actually TWENTY years old at this point). I still very much enjoyed this track, but I do think a remake/update is a great idea! Oh, and thanks again for checking out my reactions!

[@TheXXIJackpot]

But at this point it's "master wordsmith", I won't accept any below(adept?) that.

[@kizukun001]

Sure it's a bit off or cliche, but it does have a special place in my opinion. As someone who has actually hated the whole rap genre for most my life because the tracks I've been exposed to, frankly, were a pile of trash mainly composed of, I'm a rapper posturing, "titties or gun crimes" and grating repetition. After happening across you, exploring the 'nerdcore', finding actually decent content in the genre has given me a different perspective on it as a whole. Still cant stand a good portion of content a lot of people put out. I remember asking someone why they like it(in I think 2016ish) and they said "I like when people can say something that can have more than one meaning" as they proceeded to play a track whose whole chorus/hook consisted of "I'm a drug dealer" repeating over and over... so yea that's the type of grating and frankly disheartening content I've previously came across in the genre time and time again. Not my cup of tea, so to speak, as it's not (to me at least) cleaver or creative. Rambling a bit, but that's my view on it.

[@Eruvadhril]

Having to pause the video and just stare at the wall for a minute to appreciate the lyrics is something I think all Stupendium fans can relate to.

[@crimsonDestroyer]

You definitely need to check out The Aftermath, his Baldi's Basics rap. It's honestly amazing.

[@DJSchreffler]

The Baldi's Basics song I know of most is 'You're Mine' by DAGames. Really not kid-friendly, though.

[@kuroseal8613]

@@DJSchreffler still, it's hilarious

[@DJSchreffler]

@@kuroseal8613 Oh, it certainly is! It would be amazing to see a First Ianpression of it.

[@Nut_Dealer]

Agreed

[@Dragonstorm35]

You should react to the rap he did when he released his merchandise it’s really funny

[@Insaneian]

I've definitely considered it! I'll add it to this week's poll on Patreon!

[@DocGenius42]

@@Insaneian would you also consider adding Stuppebdium's The Snugglependium comercial at the end of that one? it's not a song (so it probably can't be its own video) but it's ... interesting.

[@Insaneian]

@@DocGenius42 I considered, but since it's not a song I didn't do it. However, it won the poll, so I did pair it with Pictures of Spider-Man, tho, and it will be hitting my Patreon tonite (and here for everyone else on Friday!)

[@tylerbrinlee239]

I think you should continue reacting to song even if they are not exactly comedy related, for one you seem to be enjoying yourself regardless, and secondly you are still a musician reacting to another musician and that creates several interesting moments when watching. Of course that is entirely my own opinion, great content either way!

[@Jaywhisker37]

I haven't seen this one suggested before, and it seems to be forgotten a lot, but I really enjoy his Two Point Hospital rap, "Doctor! Doctor!". It's a similar comedic tone to something like the Surgeon Simulator one, and it's got Rustage on as a guest star!

[@Insaneian]

Ha, someone actually suggested that one in the comments here! But thanks, adding it to the Patreon poll!

[@kizukun001]

"A jedi going ham on house music"... apt. Also never connected the dots with his lighting on that segment.

[@martinm.4149]

I love that you have DDLC PTSD. I don't think that someone can play DDLC and not jump at glitch noises afterwards.

[@ineedcoffee9125]

I have a strange feeling that when he finally plays bendy and watches art of darkness and find the keys the video is going to be an hour long

[@Insaneian]

Oh. Oh dear.

[@nat3007]

An hour? I think it might be longer than an hour. There is also cells no more which is kind of related to find the keys.

[@jschaffe123]

Love your reaction videos! I do have a soft spot for Amateur Wordsmith, I'm always interested in seeing where artists started out in their craft. He was already amazing while still trying to find his footing.

[@mikal1419]

My god am I early! 4 views? Impossible Geometry is such a tongue-and-cheek song, I love it. But it's also a nice little psuedo-commentary on the evolution of VR and the growing appeal of altered reality. Also, the speed of which he delivers the lyrics is stunning. Oh! And the section where his face appears on the screen, he doesn't blink once, which is just so creepy and so accurate to VR. Before this reaction, I'd never seen Amateur Wordsmith before. Little baby Stupendium! I love the contrast between the black and white "pro" rappers and then him, in his little bright striped suit, hopping along to his own rhythm. It's so sweet and so wild to see the roots of such a phenomenal singer/song-writer. I think it's interesting that you paired his first rap, where he's finding his footing and exploring his flow, to Impossible Geometry, where he's snapping rhymes faster that you can understand them and has a clear, set, and exceptional style. Maybe it was intentional, maybe it wasn't.

[@Insaneian]

It kind of was intentional, but more based on the title similarities...I almost titled this video IMPOSSIBLE AMATEUR.

[@mikal1419]

@@Insaneian I'm on to you, dear Ian...

[@talkingink3963]

I'm listening to this and I was just thinking "early stupendium sounds like the gentleman rhymer" and then he brought him up I can't help but wonder if that was his inspiration

[@keepinitbeef2]

"Jedi going ham on house music" Never heard such a clean description of Beat Saber!

[@Dragonfire1321]

There's actually an older song than Amateur Wordsmith called Walking in slow motion from his old channel. It's unlisted, but you can find it via the Stupendium Originals playlist on his channel. It's hilarious, it'd be great for this channel.

[@Insaneian]

Good to know, thanks!

[@Morganscat]

I am smashing like so hard, amateur wordsmith is a sometimes forgotten treasure, but it is a great marker of how Stupendium songs where already on the direction that they are today (clever, fun and with amazing flow) impossible geometry has a great combo of voices between Chi-chi and Stupes and the video makes me want to play the level in the game. Loving your reactions with them, thank you for another great video!

[@Insaneian]

Thank *you* for checking them out!

[@lop90ful1]

Personally i also think that "FOUR | A Goodbye in Rap. " was also a big turning point for him since from than onward he started to focus on the nerdcore raps

[@william9048]

YESSSSS, Impossinble geometry is one of my favorite songs

[@nat3007]

As someone who can't watch the beat saber video the descriptions were helpful I got an idea of what the video was. Underselling yourself is a big thing in British comedy. Comedy musicians here do take genres and flip them such as Bill Bailey I'm not sure how else to describe it. Stupendiums musical covers are greatly underappreciated sadly.

[@ink7907]

I really really suggest"The House always Wins" a fallout new vegas song!

[@Insaneian]

It's been on the Patreon poll for a few weeks!

[@TheEmeraldPixel]

Idk if he'd actually do it, as it's not exactly "comedy" music, but it's a great song nonetheless

[@Insaneian]

@@TheEmeraldPixel I'd be pairing it with Vault 76 and The Fine Print, so, I'd still have comedy covered (I think) 😅

[@ivangood7121]

he made the impossible geometry song into a beatsaber map that is the same one as in the video.

[@Insaneian]

I saw that in the description! I'm guessing PC only, tho. I play on PSVR and I don't think I can get this song there.

[@sarahbuck2506]

Stupes mastered the bisexual lighting before the rest of youtube

[@DisKorruptd]

Hey, tip for ya Ian, < and > (technically , and .) can be used to go through on an almost frame by frame basis, that way you can move less than 5 seconds if you wanna find something with precision

[@DisKorruptd]

Glat to be of assistance

[@Isakube]

perhaps too much precision

[@randomgoose9901]

Just reminding you that you should really check out any song by the chalkeaters, they are pretty good and half of the songs they’ve made are based on memes

[@PGerman.]

Nice video as always Ian! I don't think you have done Nook line and sinker yet, which is thematically one of my favourites of Stupendium. and if you want a bit more comedy and probably the best beat in all of his songs, check out his other Animal crossing song "Hallowed wings"

[@Insaneian]

Both Animal Crossing songs have been on the Patreon poll for a bit!

[@unpronouncable2442]

Ian Stupendium does Coop songs and from those "No Waves like home" is my favorite. it's just a chill and relaxing piece music just like an endless ocean that is trying to kill you.

[@rreeeekk]

I can't tell if Ian missed the ["fishing" for compliments but my "lines" and lacking "catch"-y "hooks"] part

[@SCP_Wandsman13_13]

I remember the Beat Saber ads. They were great.

[@sawyerprince7304]

I highly recommend "Little Rover". It's not a comedy song, but it is heartfelt and a wonderful tribute to the Mars rover, Opportunity.

[@Insaneian]

I saw that one, and I'll likely watch it on my own rather than react to it, since it's not comedy.

[@sawyerprince7304]

@@Insaneian That's understandable. I figured I would mention it since there are almost no reacts of it on KZbin at all, and most of the ones that exist don't say anything about the song. Love what you do!

[@CelticPheonix101]

I don’t understand why, but the hook for Impossible Geometry is, like... Poetic enough that I start crying to hear it? It’s a dumb song about a guy who refuses to take off his VR helmet, and IT MAKES ME CRY TEARS OF BEAUTY?!?!!!!?!

[@leontio7161]

here in Russia we have several groups of people who translate songs completely, along with vocals. I don't support this approach, I prefer subtitles. But I've always wondered why none of them translate The Stipendium videos. Now I understand why

[@superfire6463]

He went from plan B to my first choice

[@daggeranddoctor]

Have you reacted/listened to Stupendium's Opportunity or his Frostpunk songs? I'ld like to see an updated versoin of Amateur Wordsmith, something like Above-Average Wordsmith. Also, it's out of season, but I'ld also like to recommend Lights on a Truck.

[@Insaneian]

Lights on a truck is a more serious song tho, right? As for the other two, I'll add them to the Patreon poll!

[@daggeranddoctor]

@@Insaneian Come to think of it, I guess Lights on a Truck doesn't have much in the way of comedy, it's just a good song. I didn't really consider that when typing it out.

[@ea-xb2cf]

Came to this after watching AD INFINITUM and nearly choked @6:11

[@DragonSageSequi]

Pretty much every song of stupendium's songs are comedy in some manner. There's comedic elements in every song even the more serious things. The only songs I think aren't comedic are the frostpunk songs, which I would still wish to see a reaction to and would personally give a pass to react to just because I've not seen a reaction to it.

[@KoiKat_]

Joetastic did a really great job on this map.

[@thegameprey3056]

Hey man, can you react to "find the keys", followed by "art of darkness"? Both from stupendium

[@Insaneian]

As I've said in a few videos, I'll get to the Bendy ones once I've had a chance to play the game first. While most songs don't require that, this one seems to be pretty lore heavy, so I need SOME reference before diving in to those two.

[@dilophoraptordouble]

I don't know what caused me to remember it while watching, but if you haven't (may have missed), id love a reaction to I found a pistol in the bathroom, alot more comedic i feel compared to some of the semi recent reactions.
