Aussie Asian Reacts to Bladee - The Fool (First Time Hearing...)

[@tracts]

Yeah hes a white swedish guy lol, also you’re right, he doesn’t take himself too seriously anymore which shows in some lines and makes his music more uplifting and life-affirming, compared to his depressive, drug fueled older projects.

[@tracts]

also crazy frog was definitely very popular here in the US lol

[@chasecallister6724]

his older albums are less positive

[@exiledreptile]

I appreciate your open mindedness with this stuff, you’re not immediately disregarding it, you’re actually trying to find the appeal in it which is cool. I was in your exact same position when I first listened to bladee and many others will probably say the same - but If you find it intriguing you will come back to it and eventually start to like it more and more, at least that was the case for me. If you’re looking for where to go next, working on dying or Icedancer is probably your best bet, but really it just takes time to warm up to his unique sound. Much love from a fellow Aussie 🇦🇺

[@2onylee]

Appreciate it bruh 🇦🇺

[@Pizza_Rat]

Bladee invented music

[@kv0z]

Id love to see your reactions to his older albums like eversince or icedancer. You wouldn't think it's the same guy based off the lyrics lol

[@shrey377]

Whitearmor (one of his producers) and him definitely influenced the rage sound, also your audio gets super messed up near the end. Id recommend working on dying which is a 2017 mixtape by him and i think you might enjoy it to a certain extent.

[@any_wayback]

😈😈😈

[@henderjenkins2467]

there is no comparing 2017 bladee to the fool bladee, definitely worth a shot, check this out tony

[@antonii9322]

I'd argue Ripsquad was more influential to the rage sound than whitearmor

[@truextc3569]

yeah this is one of his more positive albums compared to his older stuff , u might like his other stuff like icedancer more

[@yago572]

Definitely very childlike and positive, but there's a lot of nuance, religious symbolism, and idealism to it as well. I think he tries to deify existence through his music and abstractions. Ever since Exeter, his first album to showcase this stylistic shift from the drugged out nihilism of his earlier music, Bladee's been building a conceptual architecture of belief and beauty. It's pretty good stuff man, but it's definitely odd at first listen. You may want to check out 333 and Crest. I think they're better at showcasing the depth and wisdom underlying the childlike wonder and simplicity.

[@any_wayback]

Working on Dying have darker lyrics. Also Spiderr might be up your lane too because it has a lot more aggressive upbeat song

[@sufferyetgain]

Spiderr too happy for him rn

[@milan-on5zo]

icedancer is a great start if u want to get drained

[@gabriel______9538]

don't stop youtube, you are hilarious 🤣

[@railwayss]

bladee is definitely hard to get into, but once you do its even harder to get out of it, mainly because you dont want to get out of listening to him

[@henderjenkins2467]

i been sad as hell thanks for asking

[@2onylee]

What’s up g, you good?

[@Alex-vm6ef]

Oh hell yea its great to see a reaction to bladee, especially the fool and that intro had me intrigued 😭 looking forward to this Very odd projections in this video, "if you look at me and dont like me, what does that say about you?" Kinda crazy you feel emasculated listening to this The depth is deceptive and the childlike elements are intentional, i really wish i could explain to non bladee fans how far the philosophy + lore goes

[@2onylee]

Haha nah not emasculated, just wasn’t for me bro

[@daniellee9196]

U bouta get drained my friend 😂 just give it a few albums

[@2onylee]

Hmm let’s see

[@mikeydrox]

youd like his older music more probably. listen to working on dying, red light, or icedancer

[@katwin999]

MY BOY UR BACK YESSIRRRRRR GLAD UR OK

[@2onylee]

Yessir W subscriber

[@radchum]

Great video! Editing was wild for a smaller channel! And drainers really don't care if you like the music or hate it, we just love to spread it and get it out there!

[@darkoivx]

Good vid do more fr

[@ramens]

8:53 relatable

[@matustrojan172]

You need to listen to working on dyeing by him

[@zLeSshuhn]

I didn't get it at all on first listen either, but this one is really good, especially the second half btw gluee remains the peak to me Apologise for the WOT, I didn't even mean to write ALL this OhmahGawwd Btw I don't know if you'll gonna get it eventually, I'm not going to pretend everyone has too, but one thing I know for sure, it's not immediate, but once you let the sound sink in a bit, you might "eventually" start loving it Bladee is not easy to get into honestly, I'm currently In my drain period as of now I'm listening to the rest of his albums/mixtapes and all of drain gang I missed out over the years, and now that I "get it" it's definitely a lot easier to listen That said there are hits and miss in their catalogue for sure, but I feel like they made more hits One last thing that might quite literally make my entire comment useless my first experience with bladee was Gluee, I don't know why I loved it on first listen Even though a lot of people say, it's one of the weirdest one, to me the production is really fascinating, hypnotizing really also being the last album I listened to before the shittiest moment of my life began +Covid, and one of the first listens with my new headphones I know regard it as one of the best albums I ever listened to Add that to the list .... no kidding I literally had a lucid dream with it

[@BRG_Rain]

You'd probably like icedancer more the beats are made by the same producer group as this so the production is fire but the subject matter is darker it has a vibe you're probably more used to, more normal trap

[@kopfkaputtpropaganda]

As everyone is saying you should probably listen to older albums like working on dying or icedancer if you prefer darker songs

[@dr3693]

icedancer next

[@derwin-ik1tj]

Eversince to Redlight is a much different bladee you might like, Working on Dying specifically might hit the sweet spot. His music makes much more sense once you explore his story and evolution through his music since he is notoriosly quite cryptic otherwise

[@3star00]

i feel like icedancer would be a better album based on the critiques of this one

[@user-fd8oj9wn3o]

Dawg u funny asf g😂😂😂

[@gutrap_3062]

drain gang

[@antonii9322]

Icedancer next, if The Fool was Gain then Icedancer is Loss

[@neofox2526]

bro keeps asking if he's white 😭😭 his older project working on dying is back when he talked about the usual rap stuff now he just says positive shit

[@prettydoe1]

react to bladees album working on dying its prod by working on dying alot more of a rappier sound.

[@dycat5318]

When the next drain gang reaction coming

[@piercediris]

Please do working on dying by him

[@1fault]

DRAIN GANG

[@gabcai1144]

actually bladee, or drain gang xould be kind of eletronica mixed with hiphop

[@lilbroomstick54]

thats new bladee... you want something darker, listen to eversince, red light and working on dying (album)

[@chanesy_]

heheheha

[@gutrap_3062]

forsen

[@stellar1252]

forsenSmug TeaTime

[@WrkingOnDying]

[@wickrman1]

do working on dying or icedancer imo, definitely more your style

[@harmonygarcia333]

working on dying

[@herkales]

Naah not as second album

[@realretals8892]

Listen to psycho by bladee it’s more trap sounding

[@astraia2012]

bro said he too used to gang life to enjoy bladee corny asf

[@Guya13]

this makes me wanna see how much u would hate something like rainbow bridge 3 by sematary

[@BowieProYT]

you would like icedancer or rip bladee more

[@iv1223]

working on dying tape is for u bro

[@blablablablablabla4366]

Cool reaction👍, but u a bit too obsessed with race bruv.😅

[@xkumanekox]

To be fair, nobody likes Bladee (or Drain Gang) upon first listen.

[@Oobi666]

Bro is insecure

[@chasecallister6724]

bro hates bladee lmaooo

[@2onylee]

Hahah I’ll give him a second chance
