JID is truly one of the greats of this current generation. Best flow in the rap game.

[@lukeanderson6962]

The best I’d say at least currently

[@hiddeelzenga]

​@@lukeanderson6962Billy Woods the best rapper currently imo. JID is definitely up there as well

[@tyrelleaton8063]

One of the best. Big Krit, Smino, Dear Silas, Joyner Lucas and a few more

[@hiddeelzenga]

@@tyrelleaton8063 I can kinda agree with Big Krit, but the rest ain't even in the conversation tbh

[@tyrelleaton8063]

@@hiddeelzenga flow wise absolutely!! But that’s my opinion. It’s a sound, cadence, proper timing of voice inflection, emotional intelligence, pronunciation. All of that matters.

[@JimeLello]

Welcome to JID. He legitimately doesn't have a bad song

[@MarvinB5CO]

I swear he doesn’t even have a bad verse

[@baldurherason9036]

The Forever Story is just good enough to do a full reaction to

[@NeutralMjolkHotel]

The Wayne comparison is awesome and I’ve always thought the same thing. Good pickup, dad.

[@NeutralMjolkHotel]

And the Mos Def comment??! Dad is killing it

[@itstoonbruh]

I’ve always said he’s the best southern rapper since Wayne

[@LarryFisherman742]

Yea back when he released the never story I got Wayne vibes but everyone was saying Kendrick for some reason but now I can see both

[@dominator1548]

In "Stars" on the Forever Story, he says "I used to want to be Jay, I used to want to be Wayne..." so Wayne was definitely an inspiration for JID

[@deucedaprodeuca]

He's not forgetting his lyrics. If you watch battle rap, when you have a catchphrase or the crowd knows your lyrics, you don't finish the bar. You let the crowd get involved and it gives the artist an opportunity to catch a breath. Believe me, JID doesn't forget his lyrics.

[@seanharrison7428]

Dad has a great ear for music

[@blueyoda4385]

If he appreciates jazz in hip hop, then you all need to do some Tribe Called Quest. Either something from Low End Theory or Midnight Marauders.

[@NickAtNight02]

JID performed at my school last weekend and it was awesome. Glad you're introducing your Dad to his music.

[@mrsports1075]

Lucky

[@Zekew24]

By the way, I don't know if it's an intended double entendre but I always used to hear "pin king" in NEVER too, but I checked on genius and apparently it's also "pen king", as in a king of making stuff up in writing their lyrics. Just some wordplay that always stands out to me!

[@SteveNashty131]

that's 100% what the lyric is meant as.

[@omargoshthatscool]

Yepp it's pen king, like someone that writes very great fictional stories about being gangsta

[@RevolverRiot]

That pendant is Edd from Ed, Edd, and Eddy. He has a song of the same name that is pretty dope.

[@Oxhhs]

He did such an accurate trumpet noise 😭

[@frontroom]

One of my few talents. Thanks for watching. (dad)

[@Montweezy]

JID reminds me alot of Andre 3000 from Outkast

[@Moniyaw55]

Jid has said andre 3k was his biggest inspiration alongside lil wayne, jid is from georgia so outkast was his stuff as a kid.

[@ulovit1]

I've been meaning to watch JIDs tiny desk forever. It was so cool to experience my first watch with you guys. Delightful!

[@frontroom]

Nice, thanks for watching! (Kai’s dad)

[@jordanlee5594]

The chain you guys are asking about was actually made by FRED LOZANO. The character is a drawing of JID in the style of Ed Edd n Eddy, a show from old cartoon network. He has a song named after the show, and the music video is a short cartoon of JID and his friends as Ed Edd n Eddy characters.

[@frontroom]

dope thanks for the info - never watched the show but love the jid song

[@AgentLemmon]

Highly underrated. To me, he is up there with Kendrick. I saw him live with Earth Gang, also severly underrated in my opinion

[@ImMimicute]

I'm convinced in like two albums JID is gonna bring a level that's going to straight up humble everyone in the game, singlehandedly drag the game kicking and screaming into a new level

[@rdsh7524]

"Watch This" was from the Usher Tiny Desk Session

[@NeutralMjolkHotel]

The “watch this” thing he did that had everyone laughing was imitating Usher who had JUST done the same thing in his Tiny Desk. It was kinda corny and funny, and was clowned all over the internet for a little while.

[@Sandiego2019]

They should probably do the Usher Tiny Desk too. A lot of people know the meme but it was really good.

[@Sandiego2019]

The reason why Surround Sound has so many plays on Spotify is because of that Ceiling Challenge that someone starts for this song. It happens with every internet meme challenge because people are practicing it over and over again for their Tik Tok challenge. 😂Good song but that’s why… I’m glad it happened for him though. He deserves so much more attention than he gets. He’s a real artist and he deserves this shine!

[@kikibara1]

I LOVEDDDD his last album, had it on repeat for a month straight

[@TheR.E.A.L.Podcast]

Me too

[@Stevennn-]

On the way to, from, and during work, on all the time!

[@tfe5956]

Same, at least a month.

[@jordanlee5594]

He is not forgetting any lyrics, I promise you that. He is an insane live performer, I would argue this is actually one of his weaker performances. He has same INSANE like hour + long concerts where he raps every word basically.

[@isauthentic9280]

i cant believe you showed him wocka flocka flockaveli before jid

[@Wetwallz_45OT]

Watching your dad learn hip hop the way we all did in real time is astounding

[@tony199002]

I’m waiting on the Forever Story review!!! Your dad’s going to lose his marbles when he hears Sistanem in full production!!! That song gives me chills

[@MoeDavinci]

16:40 This was a wordplay flip on the word(s) pin/pen. ‘Kingpin (highest dealer of dope…in this case musical dope), you a pin king” “King Pen (best lyricist), you a Pen King” The quick applause and cheers in the background of the studio version was celebrate the people who caught the bar.

[@thatdamelana]

The joke, "watch this", is something said. It became a viral meme/gif.

[@willbedolla214]

JID is a true artist, great post; you guys are awesome love that you guys share and bond with music and your father appreciates all music

[@indigobokiiie]

One of the best tiny desks ever. I love the band and his performance on was 🔥 Can't wait for Forever and a day

[@DPagan99]

JID is super talented. I'm glad you guys covered this.

[@Ducklemon885]

“Run that back a little, I wanna feel it” go dad go!!! Ugh we love y’all lmao

[@cardenasadataco5620]

Full album reaction for sure!

[@abmodder16]

The pendant he's wearing in the video is Double D from Ed, Edd n Eddy. I'm pretty sure it was his favorite cartoon as a kid.

[@cadenfendel2855]

The silver guitar with the pink strings is a work of art 🫡

[@ricwill85]

Check out Chika's Tiny Desk performance. She's underrated as a rapper. Very lyrical

[@AgentLemmon]

The pendant is from the cartoon Ed, Edd & Eddy which is also one of his first singles if i remember correctly

[@jordanlee5594]

"'Kingpin?' you a pen king." A kingpin is a person or thing that is essential to the success of an organization or operation. He saying you are NOT a kingpin, the only thing you are king of is the pen, or talking/fabricating lies about your so called realness.

[@Juan-tu4ld]

the kingpin bar is kind of a double entendre because he said kingpin you a PEN king like they cappin in their raps so they the king of writing about being a kingpin and not actually one

[@canonadium492]

JID is the man of flows, he has so many and they are always new and unique

[@kickstandkidd254]

JID said “Kingpin? You’re a pen king.” Meaning they don’t live what they write. He’s saying they’re a master at using a pen to fabricate stories not calling them small. Great video btw

[@mikesd0t]

I love your dad's honest reactions... Yall have great chemistry... Keep doing what your doing

[@MICjordanTPR]

Somehow I missed this! It was cool watching it for the first time with you guys. :) Y'all really make me miss my dad, we used to listen to stuff together like this sometimes.

[@onicafoster6480]

JID is soooooo incredibly dope. Those who know, KNOW. So glad people are truly appreciating his artistry. 🎉

[@t-rizziehuff5782]

The fact that your dad made trumpet sounds and it actually sounded like them

[@ChipThaRip]

The “kingpin, pen king” reference is referring to people who snitch and turn into a “pen king” by writing stuff down for the police. Basically pen king means snitch.

[@zakkreiser5727]

JID been one of my favorites; I saw him at Dreamville and last weekend when he was in Washington. JID is an INCREDIBLE performer.

[@natebrown7135]

Y'all should do that Ab-Soul tiny desk too!

[@thompson924]

just got done watching the flokavelli episode. man that brought me back to my adultescent youth. drugs, fighting, parties, women, mannn.. what a time to be alive

[@byronheels9729]

Dad casually nails the horns impression at 34:00 👏🤣

[@ImMimicute]

He really did that was wild 😂

[@yoavmamane9084]

Lil Wayne is a pretty big influence on him but he has talked about more influences that I can remember from every genre

[@_Tie]

I took "pin" from "pin king" and related it to jail. It's interesting to learn other people's interpretations.

[@thewheelneil1379]

Or 🖊 king. Good at writing lies

[@vredeling]

Tiny Desk Concerts so awesome. And so many good ones. Great for picking up whats good when your not one of the cool kids.

[@Lancerdp23]

love JID, it's funny they said Wayne and Kendrick. I've always described him as the Kendrick and 3 Stacks love child

[@yeahr1ghty]

"I ain't Lil Weezy, but that nigga inspired my dreams So word to him, Jay, Nas, 'Ye, Kenny, and D" - JID, Funk Flex Freestyle Kenny refers to Kendrick Lamar. So yes, bang on about his influences. Exceptional freestyle btw, would highly recommend to any JID fan.

[@benc1102]

I’ve been waiting for this

[@MrMaddzkillz]

As far as new school rappers go, JID is easily in my top 5. Your favorite rapper would agree.

[@codyvaughn3986]

The pendant on JID's chain is from this old cartoon on nickelodeon called "The Wild Thornberries". There is this one wild kid on that show (like literarily wild) that somebody in his family used to compare him to just joking around and stuff cause they used to say he was a "wild child" like a lot of southern families say to describe their kids when they got a lot of energy. lol The pendent is altered from the actual character from the show with a number, which I believe is his old football number from when he used to play high school and college football.

[@NishDontGame]

His chain is an African American version of Double D who is a cartoon character from the Cartoon Network tv show called Ed, Edd, and Eddy.

[@sammyjoseph.]

yo u guys should totally react to "You Never Know" by Immortal Technique. It's not graphic like Dance With The Devil, but it is beautifully written and brings a tear to your eye at times

[@mauriceyoung9533]

He is terrific! His pauses are for you to finish the lyrics.

[@pcaz23]

One of my favorite albums and td episodes

[@bluc6049]

I think its pen king...as in you're the king of writing lies in your raps. First time checking you guys out, I enjoyed your reaction!

[@nitbs511]

That pendant if anyone wants to know is a character of him as a Ed edd n' Eddy character from his song Ed edd n'Eddy

[@RCJR02]

Never seen this Tiny Desk performance, this was great!! JID is very underrated. I think you guys would also like Westside Boogie btw

[@shaunmaclean2758]

Brilliant reaction. Would love to see you both cover The whole "Forever Story" album 👏🏼💯

[@vitoheld4857]

you really have to show him the forever story, before forever and a day is released. That way you can react to it when its out.

[@ryankoppel2007]

WE NEED MORE KENDRICK REACTIONS PLEASE.

[@angelagreen7021]

I think Busta Rhymes made dreads popular in the wrap world first. He doesn’t have them anymore but he had major dreads back in the day.

[@Mattavo12]

Been waiting on this!!

[@jigz5963]

You guys for sure need to listen to the full Forever Story album eventually. Not only does it have a variety of musically different songs but I would consider it a damn near perfect album

[@dominator1548]

The reason I believe JID did the Usher "Watch This" was potentially because it was recorded on the same day as Usher's tiny desk performance or perhaps it was recorded on the same day the Usher tiny desk came out on their KZbin channel. But that is just my speculation.

[@loganacord1]

"kingpin? your a pen king." he's saying rappers make things up in their lyrics.

[@imarejay1788]

Love the vid!! You guys definitely should react to the Forever Story🫶🏾

[@christiansandoval5507]

His chain is himself as a Ed Edd n. Eddy the cartoon from cartoon network

[@Jude_Zilla]

17:11 just a correction, he said "pen king" not "pin king" he basically said you don't live what you write about.

[@Twenty4sevenn]

I think the "pen king" line is him saying that those rappers are just good at writing about being gangster.

[@lokimowgli5151]

Insanely talented female guitarist named Tash Sultana... you should react to her video Jungle.

[@NewYork0riginal]

[@melaniewilliams9103]

He is my favorite rapper. Hands down. I am 40....an R & B girl, but I LOVE him.

[@SamadaLlama]

Great reaction to one of the GOATS of our generation. 1 thing quick: He says "Pen King" not "Pin King", which makes it even harder, cause these rappers just be writing stories not reality.

[@mathewmena1688]

The forever story is one of my favorite albums of all time I suggest reacting to it

[@w912smith]

The “Watch this” inside joke was a reference to Usher’s tiny desk performance
