🎵 Avelino & Wretch 32 Fire in the Booth Reaction | Americans React to UK Rap

[@blaccpanther8715]

My favourite bar on was when he said "how do you expect musicians to stay afloat when all our sales keep going down the stream" the whole ocean scheme started when he mentioned Tidal which supposedly gives better royalties to the artists streamed on the platform

Wow.. max power and g have stolen each others stolen comment remarks, maybe its possible for humans to come up with the same thought on a subject they see, maybe the comment you saw is my long lost soul brother who's on my wave length when taking the piss or maybe IM WASTING MY TIME HERE .. (I've heard that as well before) Stay woke and positive people 🙏

[@gingetomassi8153]

Avelino is in my opinion the most immediately accessible UK artist for Americans due to his clarity and style.

[@BradAndLex]

That’s the perfect way to put it. We were surprised by how clearly we could understand him, and how similar he is to American artists as far as vibe (not so much style though, his style is unique)

[@jordanh4981]

Feel like people don’t put enough respect on his name

[@henryannafi4873]

Great reaction. Lex is spot on - his lyricism is dense with layers. You'll hear something new every time you listen to it because there are so many clever schemes and double & triple entendres. Might be a good idea to do Wretch's Daily Duppy (Redemption) next. It's not too long after his 1st FITB and the animation really helps to understand what he is doing with his words; it actually helped me understand (in part) how clever he is and attuned my ear to his lyricism. Well done bruv(s) 👊🏾🖤

[@Smokiejoe679]

[@_D1886]

Just stumbled across your channel, your reactions are great. Most Americans don't catch as many bars as you guys do - they either miss UK-specific references or they trip on the accent. Props!

[@BradAndLex]

Thanks, Dan! 🙏🏾 We gotta study up on the slang. I wanna understand it all lol

[@Red-Rambo]

"I can't swim but i'll be the anchor for the scene" . To many people sleep on that bar! What happens when you can't swim? You sink right? What does an anchor do? It sinks to the bottom of the water to hold the ship in place. So he is basically saying that even when he sinks (falls) he will still hold it down.

[@rashodafc4653]

The part about the brits was referring to the fact for so many years there was a lack of representation for our culture at the brit awards, especially with rappers in the grime scene like Wretch despite being around for years many artists never got the acknowledgement at awards shows they deserved, bar one or two like Dizzee rascal, mainly because the organisers are posh and out of touch. It’s the same with mainstream radio here, only in recent years have they started getting a lot more plays. The year Stormzy performed it was a breakthrough moment, and it made Dave’s performance of Black last year even more needed and significant, which is why it got so many complaints from eediyats. It was one of the first years there was real representation finally in all categories. Great reactions btw love your content 👊🏾💯

[@BradAndLex]

Thank you! And thanks for filling us in on the Brits. It sounds, unfortunately, similar to some of the US award shows

[@marsdenho]

their Daily Duppys are fantastic too, plus they have visuals to help you catch some of what they are saying. Also Akala and Lowkey have killer Daily Duppys too

[@cosmicserpent2181]

His latest isn't so good but his first 2 daily duppys and his 5th fitb are definitely worth reacting too

Titanic ain't going down because of me....I can't swim but I'll be the anchor of the sea. Probably the most beautiful and powerful play on words I've heard. Wretch 32 is a lyrical genius.

[@united46]

The best 2 lines in this imo. They never got the point until they grabbed the needle. N#%#as tried to minus my pluses to divide my people. Wretch 32 is an absolute lyrical demon, his wordplay and schemes are unmatched

[@BradAndLex]

That's exactly what I'm loving about UK rap. There wordplay is on a whole other level fr

[@fraser-b3494]

He is brilliant, but I prefer Akala.

[@united46]

@@fraser-b3494 really depends on what u like. They are both great but I'm a big fan of wordplay and intricate rhyme schemes

Hey Bruv & Lex just wanted you to know I really appreciate these reactions, been going through alot at the moment and these are really helping just to pass some time. Please keep them coming and the longer the better, for real, thanks

[@BradAndLex]

Wow 😳 thank you so much for that! We will keep them coming!

[@ilsospetto5142]

When Wretch says “We all got bars but nobody here’s a brewer, bringing sandwich to the beach in the hope of finding tuna,” he’s saying that rappers have bars, wordplay, etcetera, but the content is missing. They have fancy bars, but no actual content is being made to be served in the bars. And the. Bringing sandwich to the beach in the hope of finding tuna, he’s saying they expect have meaning in their tracks, but it takes more than just the “ sandwich”

[@mjlexzy]

You guys missed the last one. Tidal and Spotify, all our sales going down the stream. 🌶

this is fire! came up in my recommendations so thought id give it a look, keep up the good work and all the best for 2021.

Great reaction guys.Wretch 32 is a Mad Lyricist and you can see that with the young then avelino whose mentor is wretch.The word play and double & triple entendres in almost every line is crazy.I wanted to put them on here but this would be a long comment haha.I see people asking for Wretch Redemption daily Duppy,that is crazy as well 🔥🔥🔥

The way I interpret the tuna sandwich line is that you are living on nothing but hope and that things will magically happen for you. You coming to the beach assuming you just gonna find some tuna to ba able to make your sandwich... "this is nonsense"

Wretch is the best lyricist in the UK even though Akala is my fave artist. Fun fact: Wretch 3-2 is Avelinos mentor and Avelino was a mentor to Dave.

The part I've never seen any reactor pick up on is the line where he connects 'bars' and 'brew' (as in, beers) in the beach reference.

[@NoLefTurnUnStoned.]

Then bringing sand(wich) to the beach. Like coal to Newcastle.

[@phobsdsr4326]

New sub up in here. Avelino is a beast. That Game beat, he flowed on it like water. Wretch always gets the praise here but it was a great joint effort. Very hard to outdo this session right here. Avelino Fire In The Booth part 3 Wretch Fire In The Booth part 5 Let’s get it!! 🔥

Cassius Clay was absolute fire, bars for days in that one.

[@charleneraymond4036]

I would definitely suggest going back to the Cassius Clay one with lyrics/genius Also, Wretch is Avelino's mentor (they're both from Tottenham in North London) and Avelino was supposedly Dave's mentor.

[@snacksonaplane]

'Different Class. Sometimes You Got to Ask. Do you want to be the best in your country or the best in your school?' Not sure but I'm wondering if school also refers to old school vs new school which are worlwide, so bigger than best in a country. Either way, dropping the 'different class' line first was genius.

"I bring a sandwich to the beach in the hope of finding tuna". He is basically saying he always comes prepared. Always be prepared because you never know what is round the corner!

[@teejayquintynecom]

I don’t think it’s that you know g, he’s talking about how the artists provide all the content that generates revenue but they don’t own the company’s that make most of the money. We’ve all got bars but nobody here’s a brewer ,bring a sandwich to the beach in the hope of finding tuna. Hope being a key word there, he’s saying we dont own the industry we just turn up with the talent and have to hope we get a deal.

So... 'Bringing sandwich to the beach in the hope of finding tuna'. This is a BIG bar. Basically he's saying he's heard there's loads of big fish in the game, but once he got there he found out it's all 'bread' (sandwich) and no 'substance' (tuna). Such a cool way of basically calling out money grabbing mumble rap

Don’t worry about missing bars it’s impossible to catch all of them first try side every line word from both of them is a bar

[@SageNomad]

They have lyrics for all these “FIRE IN THE BOOTH” “FREESTYLES” and all the songs you guys react to. It’s best to pull up the lyrics along the video because there’s a lot of references and entendres you might understood and “RAP GENIUS” helps to break it down. Until you adjust to UK slang and accent, it’s best to use lyrics.
