[@catalyst7269]

Ahmed phelephe American here. This is the first UK rapper I’ve listened to, and I feel spoiled that this is my first experience from a foreign rapper. Dave is something special and I’ll definitely being paying more attention to the UK scene.

[@a.phelephe9220]

Catalyst Do that and you will not be disappointed. You should give these a listen too. J Hus, Mostack & Aj tracey for the bangers, melodies & wavy songs. Wiley, Dizzee Rascal & Giggs for grime. Loyle Carner, Avellino & Wretch 32 are wordsmiths and got a nice wordplay like Dave too. Cadet(R.I.P) for storytelling. Fredo for trap & street rap.

[@robc1014]

Catalyst and lowkey, akala, mic righteous, wretch 32, avelino. That’ll get you going.

Streatham had a triple entendre. "Cutting through bricks like the 118" 1. The 118 bus goes through Brixton 2. That same bus (118) smashed into a brick house (through bricks) 3. Line before talking about friends selling weed and then cutting through bricks of cocaine.

[@jerimiahmings3944]

TheUnionJack My G’s done draws (1-1 like in sport) and eighths (8) = 118 😳

[@TockSickOfficial]

Plus the 118 advert where they go through a brick wall

[@FantaLord007]

@@jerimiahmings3944 he coulda meant that but i think that was different a draw is 1g of weed and an eighth is 3.5gs of weed but he could mean a draw like in football

Streatham is a part of London

[@rockreacts6823]

This video is a perfect reminder of why I fell in love with reaction videos in the first place and started our own channel. I aspire to catch bars like you guys do! Was great to watch a breakdown from people who are both outsiders to the UK but are deep in hip hop culture. Subbed, inspiring stuff guys, look forward to seeing more of your stuff! Love from across the pond, JD from RR

[@louisbraithwaite5409]

Best reaction channel I’ve seen on this album. Really love this channel now they’re so on it

[@elliothardisty1276]

From someone from south London who watches reaction videos, American youtubers rarely take time to understand these English songs with a lot of bars and decipher deeper meanings and messages, however you have done a great job with this reaction. Picked up loads of metaphors and secret meanings even I missed out on and provided a good overview of not only the songs but the psychological conversations in the ‘interlude-esque’ intros.

[@PJ-po7fu]

👌🏾🎧🎯💯

[@Stephenleelia]

True, I mentioned above that the vocabulary in British artists are really strong.

[@danhopkinson2811]

@Elliot hardisty agreed, coming from the UK we are fortunate that hip hop and black culture from the states has been pop culture for so long we understand the references and slang. most of these American reactions miss so much and pick up on the minor bars missing the bigger meaning, but you can't blame them, its all new to them aye. FairPlay to these guys admitting there will be alot they'l miss

[@benharvey491]

Bow is a district in London so the bar about Cupid was referencing he has a girl ‘across’ bow

[@cillian4830]

That line is so underrated

[@nathanconley2337]

I didn't even clock lol

[@FuckdasketsHOPassass]

that bar was hard as fuck

Also, Bow is in the East

[@reisswright7135]

Streatham/Streatham Vale is the area he’s from hence the Veil/Vale bar bro

These guys did us proud, caught way more bars than all the other American and Canadian channels

As someone from the UK, thank you guys so much for doing a full album review. I honestly think this is the best rap album from a UK Artist.

[@robc1014]

Dre Dre best in the last 5 years for sure. Before that I’m unsure. Cradle of civilisation by lowkey, its not a rumour by akala are two albums I’d put up there as well.

One cultured reference you missed Dave make was in 'Streatham'. My G just came out for a shooting And Ramz done a madness, charting Say that man got something in common 'Cause trust me, both of their tings been barking Ramz is a UK artist who made a single called 'Barking'. As well as this 'barking' is a slang term for shooting. Hence 'both of their tings been barking'.

I’m from the UK and this is the first video I’ve seen on your channel and I have to say that this is the best reaction to Dave’s album I’ve seen from the US and the Uk. I hope you guys continue to react to UK misic because I love the way you catch the bars even though you’re not from here. If you are looking for more UK artists to react to, I suggest Yung fume - Noughts And Crosses 4 (a recent project), D-Block Europe - Home Alone, and AJ Tracey - AJ Tracey (self-titled debut album),

In Purple Heart he says “Singin like a rockstar McCartney, She interstellar like Jupiter” He’s playing on Paul McCartney cause his wife is Stella, hence the inter- stella

[@sammook01]

Daughter not wife

[@liyaha.4611]

Tripple entendre there. "She's interstellar (Into stella) McCartney" it's like she's so exquisite that she wears Stella McCartney (a luxury designer brand).

Dominic Campbell So glad you and many others are giving him the exposure he deserves. And at 11:30 that was Burna Boy who is wavey as fuck. I’d recommend the song “Sekkle Down” by him ft J Hus (the other wavey feature on psychodrama). You should check out Hus as well, such as his ‘Common Sense’ album which also features Burna Boy. Lots of different vibes and moods in that album but it’s one of my favourites.

When he said "my linen all tailored. my outstanding debts; swift like Taylor and man I owe dem a beating"...like they'll get the beating, quick. Then went straight in to the beef "stake" reference. He's nice.
