Tetsuo & Youth First Reaction

Its finally here.....Enjoy!

[@timothyarbinata1023]

Mural is one of the best rap song of all time

[@rafthethinker4948]

Dude I agree. I wasn't blown away by the rest of the album, it wasn't bad, bad I can't get enough of mural

[@alemayehusolomon941]

Yes I agree with this statement so much.

[@manz981]

Was off the top too, check out sway in the morning interview.

[@boomidctv6017]

Without a doubt

[@thatguyluis]

Rafael Artiga prisoners 1 and 2 has more complex bars, i prefer it over murals but yeah, Mural is just fire the whole song is just bars after bars and the flow is contious asf.

[@Daiton45]

When I heard Mural I was just blown away man. The amount of bars in that song was fucking CRAZY

[@Alexandahh]

Cmon Chelseaaa

[@gusramirez3]

DaMoziTB Yh if you like that song check out Dead Presidents 3 by Logic..sounds similar

[@johnsonsmith1858]

DaMoziTB Yh picture is worth a thousand words so it's no coincidence that murals has 1037 words

[@johnsonsmith1858]

DaMoziTB Yh *1377 words

[@NineEther96]

+Braces I know right

[@njsw24]

Lmfao the look on his face when the banjos started playing. I'm crying

[@hyson727]

Heat up the pickup trucks and get the nooses here they come

[@hebrew26commandmentspower55]

yeah Dots and Lines Banjo in the beginning had me like O_o wtf is this!!! ...then the beat dropped..I knew it was gonna be a masterpiece !!! 😁😍😎

[@matt-be8lc]

Lmao!!

[@niftyjeff]

My boy pointed out this line on T&Y "Started at the end, that's the part where you begin." and gave me an idea to play the songs in backwards order. So far it flows a lot better than the regular version. I guess Tetsuo is the forward version and Youth is the backwards version.

[@DWRyota]

Exactly backwards is growing up and fowards is growing down

[@edwardpolenzani1039]

the album didn't take a turn. It flows perfectly with the story being told. There's a reason that chopper is the first song after winter, and deliver comes after that. Notice during winter there are no kids outside playing like the other interludes, you pointed out yourself that its darker. Chopper is painting the picture of the worst of the ghetto that lupe grew up in and deliver follows, giving you the consequences

[@amanSpawn00]

Hopefully I speak for everyone when I say BIGQUINT's reaction to Prisoner 2 is how we all reacted.

[@YKing-zr3di]

Word.

[@seshtillirest2175]

Kalamite LMAOOO yeah

[@Sador_1]

Adoration of the Magi is pure genius!

[@DaveThaBossDTB]

Selassie I caught the baby references instantly and I thought it was pure genius.

[@edwardpolenzani1039]

am I the only that liked the banjo in dots and lines? lol

[@nebiyouelias961]

I had the same reaction when I heard Dots&lines.

[@elcypher6102]

Gotta say my fav was body of work don't gotta say shit about mural of course that shit was epic.

[@Khanjure]

Up next: B4.DA.$$ & Full Speed! And react to Dark Sky Paradise by Big Sean when it comes out!

[@luke.6001]

YES!

[@jahbless2114]

so demanding dayum

[@prettiiboiipony]

Yesss!!!!!

[@C.Hash35]

Yes please react to Joey Bada$$

[@felicianosegundojr.4062]

stop demanding him you guys are some vultures

[@Ibedesire]

This albums amazing. Dehh loved this. Everyone loves him. Lupes a gangsta

[@zaKkyBoY121]

Mike said it was the album 2015 LMAO

[@MrChrispaul2233]

Ibedesire a poetic gansta that is

[@ciscotza2884]

you know this album is supposed to be played backwards?! as a reference to mangas, mural is actually the last track! fml this is dope!

[@BuckMarley]

It makes sense. I knew Lupe wouldn't end the album with ab souls verse

[@ciscotza2884]

lol, decent...

[@amanSpawn00]

+DTRIGGS This album is lyrically on-par with Poet Laurentine(a Canibus project dubbed Infinity Bars).

[@therenegadetlou7119]

I think the title comes from an old Japanese anime movie called Akira. Its about the fall of a boy named tetsuo.

[@roccr99]

That's what I first thought

[@Punjabispitta]

It is, the album isn't about him but he did help influence the story.

[@Punjabispitta]

***** he did confirm the character did influence the album though, he's just not the main guy. He said that in his skee interview.

[@megamixa]

I thought it was from Tetsuo: The Ironman.

[@Punjabispitta]

megamixa He said it's from 2 shows, I don't know how many Tetsuo's there are but he clarified that one of them was from Akira and the other one could be the one you named.

[@luopingnan15]

One of the best videos I've ever seen in my life! 😂😂😂 and it did such justice to this album's BEATS cuz they are so DOPE.

[@papayasmith]

1:21 is why we had to donate for a new camera, Quint broke it himself

[@Drcrazycow]

Body of work is so fucking fire

[@aaronpegany]

Connor Farrell I love the hook

[@theafrospacecowboy]

Plus, Terrace Martin's sax solo tho...

[@ErikGiovani]

Hugo Arruda dos Santos I shit you not that solo made a single tear run down my cheek

[@zaKkyBoY121]

This Album Killed Forest Hill Drive

[@bgetem24]

It did tho

[@Punjabispitta]

Without a doubt. I'm a huge Cole fan, but this album by Lupe is too nice, I'm on my 100th listen and it keeps getting better. I got tired of FHD after the 10th listen so it doesn't have too much replay value to me.

[@munnymatt]

damn 100th listen lol I have the album and haven't even listened once yet

[@Punjabispitta]

wabammoneymaker Well.. maybe not the whole album, but it's def up in the high 70's right now. That's also me with B4.DA.$$, I've heard it once through but can't go back to it because of how good T&Y is. Also if you watched this video, you basically listened to a little bit of every song so...

[@ionzine384]

This album killed RTJ2 and Pinata.

[@crimsonchinnychinchins3954]

in 5 years, people will see this album is better than The Cool and Food & Liquor. Yup. I said it. It's better than both.

[@andybby26]

I don't think it will have the same legacy, people don't care about Lupe like they did in 2006-07, unfortunately.

[@kooleyBear]

Grom Hellscream Yeah he said that he isn't worried about trying to get new fans. He said this album is specifically for the hardcore fans who love him for his wordplay and other things. And what is even better is he has two projects after this, Skulls and The Cool 2. And he said that Skulls is even better than T&Y and The Cool 2 is even better than Skulls so we have two great albums to look forward to.

[@DaveThaBossDTB]

I agree with you this song has too much meaning and too much lyricism. This is his best work up to date. Absolutely loved this album.

[@thatguyluis]

CrimsonChinnyChinChins don't know if it's on the same level tho, but this album got one of best rap song of all time, so it would mean a lot.

[@gotf]

Definitely!!

[@Akvaruim]

Mural was fucking illlllllllll

[@Zigmosh]

B4 Da $$ come on man ...you know you want to

[@firstgayincel]

Totally agree

[@insaneheat2994]

Mural is a great song, but this is my favorite album of all time. When it clicks for you, you know.

[@MrN8astic]

Amazing Review, BigQuint! I really enjoyed your Analyzis at the End Great Job!

[@alto3056]

to me it was the best 2015 album, followed by TPAB, Music for my friends, 90059, Sour Soul, L'Orange album and Shadow of a doubt

[@gentlemanofleisure8016]

90059 jay rock classic

[@treyspace7806]

Juanni Why Am I So Happy by Spose was dope.

[@idontknow4319]

Malibu?

[@alto3056]

Sakaru Kamaah 2015

[@idontknow4319]

Juanni Oh, my bad. Got the years mixed up.

[@ahmedabdalla2702]

"the fucks up wit the banjo bro" lmao thats what i was sayin

[@BJBryant11]

"Corn Squares" I know the struggle, but like J.Cole said "theres beauty in the struggle"

[@hosamsadek7525]

Good shit Q this is the one I was waiting for you did it again brotha! Still listening to this shit it slapsssss for real. Ahead of its time on so many levels. Salute.

[@LordHaveMurcielago]

Quite possibly the greatest hip hop record of all time

[@user-mw4qi1kx3o]

2015 was a pretty solid year for hip hop

[@TheScreamnPenguin]

Man you're great, you brightened my day

[@redstilidie101]

his reaction to the beat switch on prisoners was fucking priceless! XD what the hell his going onn??!!

[@dervonbrowne5170]

Dude this is his best album, it restored my shaken faith in him, and restored my hope in the potential of big fund Rap.

[@ondat3347]

Summer really shows the innocence of children, just playing with each other having fun. Regardless of each others race or faith. Oblivious to the problems and shadows of the 'adult world'

[@ctrlh5419]

The way in which this album was split into 'seasons' was something different. Lupe def delivers on this

[@Stevenisstupid]

his face at 12:59 was like "oh shit im gonna have to jump out of my chair again."

[@helbringer15]

This is the 2nd best hip hop album of this decade behind To Pimp A Butterfly in my opinion, the whole concept of this album is just remarkable... it's art. Not to mention Mural, and Prisoner 1 & 2 could be some of the best songs of this decade as well.

[@Portthefirst]

3 years later, but imo Drogas Wave tops both, T&Y and TPAB.

[@TheSwagIsBack]

@@Portthefirst they not topping GKMC & MBDTF.

[@hebrew26commandmentspower55]

Kendrick: Better artist and consistent Lupe : Better lyricist

[@MarLuThaKang]

You came from the future, huh?

[@Lankzino]

@@MarLuThaKang no u did lol

[@davidrowe762]

thank you for actually being the best KZbinr ever

[@darthsoul2025]

food and liquid 2 got slept on

[@als6164]

Darth Soul No, that album was trash and boring, I'm saying this as a big Lupe fan btw

[@fortyseven1476]

Darth Soul Best songs on there were Around My Way and Strange Fruition, at least for me

[@TheSwagIsBack]

@@fortyseven1476 strange fruition fire!!

[@TheHolyFlipsterTHF]

I greatly appreciate that you bangs with Lupe!

[@kyroseven]

You seem so hesitant to like this lmao.

[@Punjabispitta]

***** ... still an underrated album.

[@coolguy5772]

Murals and Body of Work are my favourites for sure though!

[@fafo867]

they bang so fucking good

[@iBeLilTommie]

lmfao When he heard that banjo tho

[@grigoleit88]

I couldn't stop laughing when you knocked the camera over hahahaaaaa

[@zaKkyBoY121]

Jesus I had Mural on Repeat 10 times straight

[@andybby26]

80 minutes.

[@aguyontheinternet7112]

LMAO the Grand Canyon Part 2! Quint is too good XD

[@donttouchtheac8651]

i swear the beginning of your videos, like the playground thing, have me dying xD. by the way mural, BARS

[@damon7972]

First video of yours I've seen and I love it. Can't wait to check out your current stuff! DMIZ video coming soon?

[@esiahgomez3817]

His face at the beginning of dots and lines

[@adriiiane42]

I thought this album was amazing. Crazy concept

[@plcmsc5077]

Would love to hear a TUT "Preachers Son" review. Also curious as to what you would think of some Felly.

[@AJ24773]

Best album of 2015

[@Tragz]

This dude really takes a cereal break and roasts kim jong Un half way through for no reason lol.

[@celestialnubian]

Lasers was not a bad project. It was definitely better than most of the stuff that was released that year. Food & Liquor II was actually a good album. Tetsuo & Youth is one of the best albums ever made period.

[@mcadarklord]

Yessss all you need to do now is B4.DA.$$

[@hypemast3848]

You better prepare a feast for break-time when Action Bronson's Mr. Wonderful drops haha

[@TheHotepKing]

His face when the bass comes in on Chopper is priceless hahaha

[@ionzine384]

This is his best work I can't believe people that say his first two albums are better this is the best album in 18 years I don't get it since 97 there has not been a better album.

[@ColdJoeGaming]

Mmlp, The Eminem Show, I Am by Nas, Stilmatic by Nas, Grodt by 50, King by T.i, Kanye's first two albums nuff said man

[@ionzine384]

Fearless Q8 None of them albums are better you're not saying much. Eminem has not done an album better then this album. Stillmatic is not better, I Am (I don't know why the album or The Eminem Show was brought up), 50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Trying is one of my person favorites and T&Y destroys all these albums. T&Y is monumental masterpiece and so is now To Pimp A Butterfly.

[@ColdJoeGaming]

Ion Zine you have to be kidding me man, this album is great don't get me wrong but its not better than the classics that I have mentioned, at least MMLP, GRODT and Stillmatic, stay real

[@ionzine384]

Fearless Q8 Your crazy I don't understand why I'm responding to some who thinks T.I. has anything classic in his catalogue. Then mentions an album that wasn't better the his first 2 garbage albums. Lupe T&Y is one the greatest hip hop albums ever and I go back from the golden age era. No one has done what Lupe has done on this album. Now...are there better albums? Yes but not many and there definitely isn't a better album in the past 18 years other then something parallel ex: Dead Prez: Let's Get Free and maybe Outkast: Aquimini (I don't think so) but nothing else. This album blows everything out the water...Trust me I didn't think Lupe would ever come out with something this good. I always knew he was capable of making a classic album but not a masterpiece. People will appreciate this later on when they catch on to everything he did on this album.

[@ColdJoeGaming]

ok I get you now, you got your own opinion and I have my own. done

[@OBISIKKID]

I need to get home relax and watch this

[@luke.6001]

Quint, do these next please!: Joey Bada$$ - B4.DA.$$ Kid Ink - Full Speed Big Sean - Dark Sky Paradise (Feb 24) And Kendrick might be dropping this month or early next month so do that obviously

[@DUHKING24]

Cosmo Kramer so

[@tafarixx6512]

Nah do TUT - Preachers son

[@badumbumpss]

the camera karate chop ceacked me up bruh

[@doltonkenway1056]

drogas wave and skulls this year are going to make u wreck your room lmao it's gonna be the best for the next 10 decades no joke lol

[@jakedifiasco2828]

BigQuint you are hilarious and know your sh!t keep up the good work bro ! Lupe is back !!!

[@dernsama5915]

Yes! Quint finally did the review!

[@salt1ne1]

Lmao his face during the intro to dots and lines was fucking hilarious

[@ernestrusseltayson5899]

U gotta do a first reaction of 'B4.DA.$$' by Joey Bada$$

[@marcusbrady1032]

No bull but when I first heard the album I didn't get past track 2 aka Mural for an entire week. Then I was blown away by the rest of the album of course but Mural is in another stratosphere as far as songs go in any genre. Insane

[@justinwiggins1393]

Big quint be spittin some real stuff tho while being hilarious at the same time xD kudos

[@jjsweg9012]

Shoutout those revisiting this

[@CrypticDragon]

10:46 that's where Big Quint makes me die laughing 😂😂

[@hosamsadek7525]

You butchered all the song names at the end lool. Btw Ayesha Jaco is Lu's sister. She did the intro to most of his albums.

[@widewatching338]

Really hope you make some cash from these videos man cause theyre awesome

[@bulletfastspeed]

Can you show your speaker setup?

[@cammaannn7379]

Yoooo Son, you gotta do that B4.DA.$$ real quick. We been waiting!

[@jacobrios7976]

man this dude BIGQUINT dope af.

[@jethunting]

I died when he hit his camera :D

[@Mmmarky92]

After watching this i had to listen to the album again for the 100th time

[@skyyyizzle]

I think the US military need to hire lupe too make new weapons. since he spit 8 minutes of straight fire

[@OutlawWVYX]

Need to do that new Two-9 tape.

[@raa_him]

Listen to it backwards

[@Punjabispitta]

genius.com/By-harnoor-singh-detailed-explanation-of-lupe-fiascos-tetsuo-and-youth-winter-to-spring-and-beyond-lyrics check out the last sentence on here, I broke it down the best that I could but it really is amazing.

[@dontknow562]

Harnoor Singh Great analysis. I love Deliver's meaning. "Papa Johns" and Little Caesars" is like saying fathers and the government. But yeah, like you said, go out and get the peace of man yourself, don't always rely on others to delivery it for you. Don't rely on government programs to make you survive the hood, etc.

[@dontknow562]

Harnoor Singh Curious on your interpretations of Little Death? So many layers in that one

[@mark123boy]

Harnoor Singh question how you listen to it backwards like start from spring or winter....im confused

[@Punjabispitta]

mark123boy read the last line from my analysis and the one before that, they both explain it, there's 2 meanings actually.

[@isaac7398]

Bro react to: B4.DA.$$ TUT - Preacher's Son Tory Lanez - Lost cause (2014 but is dope)

[@c0wboys4life]

He killing me not reacting to Tory Lanez, i gotta feeling Badass reaction is coming tho

[@KarlhiXIssa]

Yea Preacher's Son Speak of some real hip-hop. He's got that Mick Jenkins sound which is irresistible...

[@tafarixx6512]

Preachers SOn YEsss !!

Hahahaha I don't have to do it all day today and I have a lot good to see you in the a good time day of the school of the day I don't think I can getting my hopes and the other day of school for the first half and the world and a few years and the other R see you in the world morning to and from the beginning same start to the game with the same time I see you in the world to me and my mom

[@WavvyJi]

literally just got hip to preachers son and its amazing

[@MidNite303]

you heard her on almost every Lupe album she does the poems his sister I believe

[@pokez5523]

Your videos make my life.

[@korab67]

Yoo you gotta review B4.DA.$$ pleasee mannn you won't be disappointed

[@rangerkasdorf4476]

Ayesha Jaco is the person who did the intro on Food & Liquor 2 by reading off a poem about modern issues. She fulfills a similar role on Tetsuo & Youth, which is a really cool callback in my opinion.

[@CME1124]

Ranger Kasdorf she did the intro to all of Lupe's albums except Lasers and this one

[@rangerkasdorf4476]

CME1124 She did F&L 2... "Ayesha Says - Intro"

[@CME1124]

Ranger Kasdorf my bad I meant to say Lasers and Tetsuo & Youth lol

[@AcroNM]

She's actually his sister lol
