Aethiopes is his true masterpiece you NEED TO DO THAT. It’s essential underground hip hop for the 2020s

[@annamundun]

One of the best records of 2022 for real, probably my favorite of him. Contemplative and wise, Preservation's beats go nuts too, different than Segal but also very fitting for Woods

[@micahrowgo8536]

Can’t wait for them to hear Remorseless

[@kentekuzan]

church betta

[@komodogd]

maps is better lol

[@adamlagerqvist8111]

I don't know how good that is for a first reaction but yes it is also my favorite woods album, the poetry on that album is just so good. I would recommend doing Haram or even diabetic test strips because they need a taste of the chemistry behind Armand Hammer.

[@h9772]

‘hiding places’ is the other kenny segal collab piece. masterpiece. album cover conveys alot

[@hattrickswayze1]

billy one of the most consistent rappers of this decade, cant wait to watch this vid! Please Haram or Shrines by Armand Hammer soon! if you didnt know its Billy Woods and ELUCID rap group

[@johnrichert92]

I second Haram… what a damn good album. Alchemist is goated of course

[@zen-xv3wg]

nah they should to paraffin

[@rapmusicplugpod]

woods is legit the best rapper ever, and his Backwoodz label is home for some of the most cutting-edge rap made today... oh and I also interviewed him :)

[@abelkeke]

Oh cool, could you send a link to your interview, I'd love to see it!

[@rapmusicplugpod]

@@abelkeke For sure! This one took place the day after Maps dropped. We got into a ton of cool topics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5jLfolrpJmNbc0si=uAqwMA_C3KA0S61W

[@wisp.]

definitely the label I am most excited for releases by, appreciate all the interviews you’ve done for those artists. not only Armand Hammer but guys like Fatboi Sharif, Skech185 and Defcee have me super hype for what’s going on in the underground. also looks like they’re teasing toward new Shrapknel soon 👀🙌

[@spencer4146]

I couldn't agree more. woods is just on a completely different level from anyone else. maps is by far my favorite album of all time... also your interview with him was great! I knew I recognized your avatar

[@rapmusicplugpod]

@@spencer4146 Maps is in my top 3 solo woods, hard to pick a true favourite though. Maybe his most listenable album though. And dope, glad you're familiar with the show!!

Woods has gradually become my favorite artist since 2020. Enjoy diving through his discography + Armand Hammer. In terms of Kenny Segal - next up is so the flies don’t come with Milo. Then of course his first collab album with woods. Segal is a magician in his own right!

[@SteepWriter]

Easily one of the best releases of 2023. His previous collab album with Kenny Segal, Hiding Places, is even better in my opinion.

[@bryanmcconnell8953]

I personally think maps tops it.

[@bennyjames7806]

Maps, Hiding Places and Aethiopes 💎💎💎

[@BREATHER_]

I agree, Hiding Places is INCREDIBLE

[@lotusbhop]

In terms of the Earl feel, you were right; Billy Woods is in a group named Armand Hammer with another rapper named Elucid, and they're on Earl's album Sick! on the song Tabula Rasa

[@lotusbhop]

also, check out armand hammer! haram by armand hammer is produced by the alchemist, and i think its one of his best

[@toxpov3612]

earl is also on falling out the sky from haram

[@JoshuaSites]

Earl was also on Falling Out The Sky and Ramesses II on Haram and Shrines respectively, lots of great connections there

[@Kenpachi4207]

Let’s go!!! This album is phenomenal!!

[@schmuck.on.wheels]

So happy to see y'all do this, might legit be my favorite rap album of the 2020s. And YES you do need to do an Aesop project!

[@nathanlheureux2296]

NONE SHALL PASS 👏🏼🤞🏼

[@donnie1725]

Ah, man. I fell in LOVE with this album. Such a great daily soundtrack. Pray this means we get Ka - Honor Killed the Samurai sometime as well, another underground CLASSIC 🤌💯💯

[@Foghuffer]

I’m rlly happy yall did this. Paraffin by Armand Hammer is amazing and worth checking out as well as Hiding Places with just Billy and Kenny Segal

[@hoggtied2796]

Woods? Who’s next? Mach-Hommy?! One could dream!

[@nathanlheureux2296]

Yo! I am SO excited you guys will be getting into Aesop Rock and Kevin seems stoked on his flow! Aes is a one in a million artist. His newest record is possibly his finest work ever (and has a sweet Billy Woods feat also!) BUT CAN I PLEASE BEG Y'ALL TO START THE AESOP JOURNEY WITH 'NONE SHALL PASS'?! classic, far out but digestible Aes - Any order you go in would work but his early work -> later work evolution is an awesome journey to follow chronologically. MUCH LOVE GUYS ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@seanjjpaul]

One of my favourite hip hop albums of the decade. Incredible jazzy production!!

[@_-LBARN-_]

Billy woods worked with Earl Sweatshirt on the album "Haram" as part of the duo Armand Hammer, album produced by The Alchemist, great album

[@knapwddd]

they got another collab song on shrines and sick!

[@domcactus]

This was my fav rap album of 2023, so I'm glad to see you two finally reacting to it! You should definitely check out more of billy's stuff, even the Armand Hammer albums if you like the more abstract vibes. I'd recommend Aethiopes as a must listen, as well as Hiding Places (which is his first full collab with Kenny Segal) Loving the vids as always!

[@hi_skitch]

Hearing Kevin's reaction to Aesop Rock makes me want a reaction to one of his solo albums so much, I'd love to see a Labor Days or The Impossible Kid video.

[@penguin1952]

I’m so glad you are doing billy woods!! It’s about time

[@jozefkrzak389]

omg i nearly jumped!!!! IT'S BILLY WOODS SEASON BABYYYY

[@adamlagerqvist8111]

I went to a woods show earlier this year and the guy went up on stage with a cup of tea and was sippin on it in between tracks, lol. Best show I've ever been to, was like max 75 people there in a super small venue, awesome experience. If you want recs on where to go next I would (Although Aethiopes is my personal favorite idk how good it would be for a first reaction because it is dense, the record has required reading, lol) recommend Haram by Armand Hammer (his group he has togrther with Elucid) it's also prduced by The alchemist and has an Earl feature on it.

[@Skewbs11]

Hallelujah! Been waiting for this

[@KyJinx177]

I recommend every single solo project by Billy Woods as well as his Armand Hammer stuff he’s one of the best lyricists of all time !

[@MarsupialASMR]

Been on a deep dive in billy woods discography lately, he really is insane. Aethiopes and hiding places are insans

[@Magic7ball]

one of the best rappers of all time. the less talked about "History Will Absolve Me" from 2012 would blow anyone away that likes this

[@Xnc302]

Aethiopes is my favorite billy woods album. It is another concept album and the concept isn’t revealed until the final track. Basically woods is walking through a history museum and seeing himself in the paintings and each song is a different slice of history. It has his best verse on remorseless and the production from preservation flows beautifully from track to track. Also billy woods and e l u c i d have a duo called Armand hammer with several amazing albums, including one produced by the alchemist. woods has also worked with earl sweatshirt on many occasions. Good catch by Kevin in the inspiration there.

[@darkchaser25]

Yes an Aesop Rock reaction is needed. Impossible Kid or the album from last year is the best start point with him imo.

[@nicholast1208]

Earl said woods was his favorite rapper in some interview. Really cool guy to see live, took a lot of time to interact with fans. Basically everything hes touched in the last decade has been incredible, I'd go hiding places next.

[@jaredneves2956]

It's hard to appreciate how uniquely light hearted this album sometimes is without hearing how soul crushing woods' other music is

[@penguin1952]

Please do more billy woods soon!!❤

[@spencer4146]

so glad you guys listened to this... I'm going to be addicted to this album for the rest of my life

[@sm3llly999]

In an interview Woods said that earl was planned for a feature on rapper weed but couldn’t due to schedule differences.

[@josedabigbrain3667]

HISTORY WILL ABSOLVE ME PLEASEEEEEE

[@arosesthrone6420]

If you enjoy Kenny's production on this, then I would highly recommend their collab on Hiding Places as well, its an amazing album. Really up there with Maps as one of Billy Wood's best!

[@wisp.]

holy shit im so excited y’all are getting into woods 🙏 greatest rapper alive

[@jackwerner2453]

This album is a 10/10

[@Dschoanig]

Woods put out another phenomenal record as Armand Hammer last year with great production (some beats by Peggy). This year they put out a updated version with a 9 minute song produced by Kenny Segal called Doves and it quickly became my favorite song of the year so far. Extraterrestrial, existential and depressing vibes all over the album but this song is on another level.

[@Dschoanig]

Also chrck out his KEXP performance with Kenny! The interview is great too if you want to get more information on him :)

[@ropesquid2085]

Doves stopped me in my fuckin tracks, made me put down what I was doing and do some serious soul-searching. Stunning, heartbreaking, beautiful.

[@splazshed]

Great video. This was my favourite album of last year, so I'm very happy you did this. I'd love for you to do Hiding Places and Aethiopes in the future. This has also got me hopeful for an Aesop Rock reaction in future. I'd guess a lot of people would recommend his early stuff but I'd recommend starting with the Impossible Kid or even ITS from last year.

[@AlbiBrian]

Been waitimg on Billy Woods reactions

[@wisp.]

if you wanna dive deeper into Kenny Segal’s stuff i definitely recommend his previous album with woods ”Hiding Places”, his album with Milo “so the flies don’t come”, and his album with rapper Hemlock Ernst (you may as know as Sam from the track FaceTime or the singer of Future Islands) called “Back At The House”.

[@victorserrano2834]

Facetime is one of my favorites songs ever

[@jaxsonsynott5717]

need kevin to experience the Billy Woods rabbit hole. he has so many great albums it’s hard to find a bad one.

[@rapmusicplugpod]

he has to

[@peroxideman5292]

This album has had one of the longest "life cycles" an albums ever had for me. I've been consitently listening to it since it came out

[@rapmusicplugpod]

you can live with this kind of record

[@bradenbester5390]

The cover is a direct remake of easyjets safety form that is onboard all their flights. I noticed it this year on a flight to Marrakech

[@BellyCheese]

You have to do quelle Chris guns. It is a masterpiece and the most underated album I have ever heard

[@MsBobbyjoe14]

Yes so glad to see y’all reacting to Wood! A great next album would be Hiding Places by Billy Woods. Kenny Segal also produces that one too. You can’t go wrong reacting to any of his works though. Also Billy Woods teams up with ELUCID and they’re duo is called Armand Hammer. They came out with a new record last year too called “We Buy Diabetic Test Strips” highly recommend that too.

[@BREATHER_]

Would love to see “Hiding Places” it’s a lot darker sonically but one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time

[@mohammadm7559]

Never thought I’d see you react to this album. We’re so back

[@mohammadm7559]

I’d recommend you watch professor skyes review/ analysis on this record he also did an interview with woods and segel that is great

[@rubber3623]

[@RDKelly12]

I've been going on a similar Billy Woods Journey as you, Connor, I just started a few months earlier. His music is really incredible. I wish that all the music I listen to had as much thought put into it. I really love Hiding Places; It's another Woods + Segal collaboration. It has some of the qualities that make this record great, but I would argue it's much more abrasive and more experimental at times. Recently I've been listening to History Will Absolve Me which is an older record but really holds up. Armand Hammer, his duo with Elucid, also has a phenomenal discography. I really like some of the songs on Furtive Movements, one of their earlier projects, and their most recent album We Buy Diabetic Test Strips is really experimental and awesome. It's kind of a challenging listen but has some great pockets of really unique melodies and rhythms.

[@drinkwater3453]

Earl and woods have INCREDIBLE songs together

[@cob1226]

Would love to see aethiopes or hiding places next 🙏🙏

[@jaxmanf]

Definitely do an Aesop album, The Impossible Kid is the one to start with

[@thefunnytvmanofthenight1537]

Billy Woods is one half of the duo Armand Hammer with ELUCID, their album Haram (highly recommended yall react soon) features Earl Sweatshirt who also features the duo on SICK!

[@brianhansen6189]

Now you gotta do an Aesop Rock album

[@bunkbed643]

all his albums are great, History Will Absolve Me is maybe my favorite, i like when the beats are hard hitting, Crocodile Tears goes so hard

[@ConcreteAtrocity]

My favorite album right now. Billy has been on rotation since Hiding Places. I only wish I had found him sooner. Guys if you haven’t listened to Billy Woods, give him a shot. Pure poetry and vibes in his music. When he works with Kenny Segal it’s something special.

[@ConcreteAtrocity]

Connor if you haven’t heard Hiding Places, you need to hear that next

[@henryhill92]

I don't know how I missed this, but I'm glad to have caught it now. Woods is my favourite rapper and has been for years now. Highly recommend their first collab Hiding Places, his album Aethiopes from 2022, and the Armand Hammer albums Paraffin and We Buy Diabetic Test Strips. It's worth noting Woods' grew up in both Zimbabwe and the US, his father was a Marxist revolutionary involved in the Rhodesian Bush War and his mother is a Jamaican English professor. You can really hear that in his music.

[@XBeamChannel]

Billy woods is my sll time fav rapper snd i got into him from maps last year. I think his top 2 albums are Aethiopes and Hiding Olaces but he's insanely consistent. On the same level (or better than) maps I'd say is the psst 4 armand hammer albusm they're all INCREDIBLE. especially tbe most recent one

[@wavesinthe5112]

I saw billy 3 times in LA. Said what’s up to him on all 3 occasions. Super chill. Nice dude🔥. And Kenny segal too

[@drummingfrog]

woods is one of the most skilled rappers alive and his beats are next level, please do continue to check him out on the channel. his large discography is so good you really can’t go wrong, but his first album with kenny segal Hiding Places is the one that really gained him a lot of popularity amount underground “earl sweatshirt type rap” fans, and his conceptual album Aethiopes has some of the most mind bending beats i’ve ever heard

[@antiobject]

this made my day

[@first3numbers]

We need a Hiding Places and Haram reaction expeditiously. In case you don’t know Billy Woods is 1/2 of the rap duo Armand Hammer with Elucid. Haram is an album of theirs produced by the Alchemist.

[@nathanjudy7705]

Hell yeah!! One of my top rap albums last year! Yall gotta check out Haram by Armand Hammer, the group with Billy Woods and elucid. Its fully produced by The Alchemist so it sounds incredible.

[@mazinabdallah5241]

I’m so happy you’re reacting to billy woods, I did not expect this to happen xD I would love for you to check out billy woods and Armand Hammers discography, I recommend We Buy Diabetic Test Strips because it has really interesting and different production

[@alfredbergman2343]

You need to hear Hiding Places, probably one of the best albums I ever heard in my life. Fire production by Kenny Segal. Billy woods also done some fire things with alchemist. He also has a duo with Elucid and they have a fire album with full production by alchemist called Haram you need to check. Billy is probably one of my favorite artist right now
