[American Ghostwriter] Reacts to: Devlin- Community Outcast - Bud Sweat and Beers- The story telling

[@MrFarquar]

Americans always struggle with Devlin because he's unorthodox. But thats why he's so good.

[@funkr77]

This is a old track what is heavily grime inspired as Devlin started out as Grime MC. If you get a chance to see the actual video of this track it shows the real neighbourhood we grew up in. I still live 10 minutes away from the apartment building shown however the have demolished the towers now. Devlin used to be in the Movement with Ghetts, Wretch, Mercston and Scorcher. Peace

[@sunnibeach4]

I love Devlin. 🖤 The emotion, the story telling, the truth... it's grit. And I feel you on the feeling the music part. It just takes you places. Has you feeling 7 ways till Sunday, man. Love this one❣🔥

[@mattycrowe2718]

He was about 16 when this dropped about 15 years old bro I can honestly say everything else is better and more clearer this is literally at the start of his career

[@zoehodges89]

Some times your reaction is all we need, i think everyone will feel the same way you did. Artists like this, who can really paint a picture, really make you feel like your back in that place. Your doing amazing, much love ❤

[@orangewarm1]

He's a poet. And socially conscious. One if the best in Ldn.

[@dw2k10]

I absolutely love Devlin, he never gets enough reaction videos because he has a strong accent for Americans 😬 his a OG, absolute beast

[@damienbarton5774]

For a septic tank, you do alright 🤣👌😈😎

Devlin feat. Wretch 32 - Off with their heads🔥

[@TomStansfield]

Bro this dropped when in was my 3rd year of high school and it hit home something different.

[@chrisandersen4290]

The crazy thing was wretch 32 was with him when he wrote this. He was 16 years of age and wrote it within 45minutes. And his answer to it is he just wrote about the things he sees everyday in life, unbelievable artist

Devlin- marching through the fog

[@twinklingfullstop9152]

Thanks for doing this . Yeah you chose 2 from my list that are quite deep. :) Sending huggles x I'll highlight sad/ reality based songs going forward :) To be fair you chose the only 2 sad songs on the list ...I've just double checked..the rest aren't

[@CliffBeatsOfficial]

Whoops!! I just picked the ones right next to eachother 🤦‍♂️. Thank you so much again for the requests! You’ve booked me for weeks lol ❤️

[@twinklingfullstop9152]

[@kieransmith95]

Another quality reaction! Devlin has always been an animal! His flow is slightly unorthodox but his schemes pull it together👊 would love to see you react to Devlin - the devil in / London city or brainwashed🤞🙏

[@Leroy9812-k5q]

Check out his fire in the booth it's 🔥, another dope reaction dude

devlin - ghetto kyote

[@soggytatty3845]

You're a legend for reacting to this classic song. Devlin was well ahead of his time when he wrote this.

[@trippydrew8492]

A heads up for grime and particularly older grime, it was all about playing around with the flow. Everything is on beat while being kinda off beat if that makes sense lol, they very much had fun with it!

[@CliffBeatsOfficial]

Yes they aren’t are not falling correctly on the snare/ end of bar. So it can sound off to the casual ear. But I see what they are doing. I’m just in unfamiliar territory but I love hearing new stuff like this!!

[@trippydrew8492]

@@CliffBeatsOfficial I respect that, just giving you a heads up for any more grime you do! check out some Durrty Goodz if you want to hear the best to ever do it on grime!! Pretty much any of his tracks are worth doing but his barcode series is out of this world and you should do it through from 1 to 8!!

[@peterjones247]

Unorthodox but there is no one like devlin this song will be forever relevant. How many artists can say they wrote a song like that?

[@kwenginzig170]

Best reaction vids on yt love from uk bro keep it 💯

Please let this be the start of a Devlin wormhole 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Devlin is brilliant he was No1 grime spitter in his day

[@SamHutchinson-yq8gb]

Devlin is top shelf

[@RawSoundzProductionz]

I promise you, you NEED to do lowkey fitb pt1 it's savage, and return of lowkey is also savage(their not sad) mic righteous gone is pure anger and pathways will bring you too tears

[@kevmccormick1767]

Before he does that better make sure he knows he's self censoring due to it being on BBC and st the time he could swear or say certain words, most Americans watch that video and think he's stopping losing his flow.

[@gemma3954]

“Who said I can’t do grime?” Is most of his FITB1 but it’s not censored and it’s different music. I think it’s easier for Americans to understand this one. I’ve just checked and there’s a version of that with the lyrics which definitely makes it better especially the beginning. You know what I’m talking about if you’ve seen FITB1.

[@gemma3954]

@Cliff Beats. Please will you do Lowkey - who said I can’t do grime (with lyrics) I promise it’ll definitely put that smile back on your face! 😘💕

[@TomGodson95]

Devlin Halloween resurrection, is a sick one 🔥

[@kevmccormick1767]

He was a kid when he done this so you can kinda forgive some of the technical deficiencies I.e being off beat a little but tbh this song is more about his message the lyrics the story remembering he had this wisdom at such a young age.

Devlin is for that period top 5 in the scene if u wana hear his most lyrical stuff do shot gritty ,z dot freestyle grime royalty bars

[@goa906]

CLIFF you need to recognise devlin as an influential artist, hes rhythm and passion is second to none and he goes in and out of pockets as we know you like. devlin- f64 devlin - london city devlin-devlin fire in the booth devlin-fire in the booth part 2 just a few to get you started :) please check these out you wont be disappointed

[@phoenix1473]

Oh shit... I cant believe you are on to this. 😶

[@dw2k10]

Cliff it would be a lot easier for you to react to his Fire in the booth part 1 or 2 and also his Daily Duppy, it’s incredible and it’s newer, this track your doing is over 15 years old and his changed a lot

[@fenzandthemandem1832]

I loke the old stuff from U.K. and the conscious stuff you react too do more devlin and people with real content g

[@RobertNew-bv9fn]

Brown is referring to Gordon brown the then prime minister

[@CrunchyPaints]

this is the original version the bud sweat and beers version is newer he re recorded it in studio quality

[@whatellisdoes8138]

Devlin and Ed Sheeran Along the Watchtower, Hendrix cover

[@grc9ball]

If you were already emotional it's a good job you didn't react to the official video. The Homeless guy jumps off a bridge, the single mum takes an overdose, the old guy has a heart attack. Try Devlin ft Wretch 32 - Off with their heads.
