Tool - right in two

[@simonb4666]

Came for Pete and Bas. Subbed because it's absolutely OUTRAGEOUS how you're able to pick up on and understand so many UK-based lyrics! Absolutely killer reaction mate!

[@yzolakitchi]

Literally thinking the same - Chin Wag and Davina McCall references, I was sure would puzzle him, but damn, he's got our lingo licked!

[@aidanloveridge1721]

​@@yzolakitchi I think he played football in England?

[@chelseahaley8350]

He actually lives in the UK, and his wife is british! ☺️

[@yzolakitchi]

@@chelseahaley8350 No way. Makes much more sense then 🤩

[@C0ST4R1C4Ndude]

Welcome to the greatest breakdown reactor on the internet!

[@mgzcom]

Bas is a jazz musician (piano, arranger, songwriter, music teacher) and Pete was in a Ska band. They know musical structure and phrasing (i.e. jazz scanting which is what rap is based on). That's why they come up with so many flows. The album is going to be a smoker!

[@deanosaur808]

Bas placed this ad in the stage newspaper in 1972! "PIANIST, extremely versatile in all types of music. Basil Preuveneers, Burgh Heath "

[@renfield2020]

Yes it really shows !

[@Boots_McScoots]

@@deanosaur808 Holy shit, he's got jazz albums out? hahaha, that's so killer.

[@topshelfdustin3060]

@@Boots_McScoots he does, never been able to find it online though.

[@AlaskaDogGuy]

His nephew wrote the lyrics to all their music. Theyve said this multiple times.

[@voxlvalyx]

This has gotta be my favorite P&B track to date. Bas' voice is so silky. I could listen to him say "dripped out, aquafina" all day.

[@showtimeman5673]

This goes number 3 for me behind bish bash bosh and the generals corner

[@thaLINDZ]

The little pause in "get a whiff when I'm walkin.... past" is sexual 🤣

[@theninedivides6851]

on a loop honestly

[@Murderousbob1]

Eyyy love Pete and Bas. Especially when my favorite reactor breaks it down! Keep it up man!

[@johnathanlifsey9649]

That Potter Payper bar was a direct diss, and not the first time Pete has fired at him.

[@chux4w]

One that is being missed by all of the American reacters is that Action Man was the name given to GI Joe in the UK. We don't have GIs, so he became just a generic military dude. That's where the title of the song comes from, and explains the extra 'man' in "If he's talking figures then, man, I'm down for some action."

[@jameswallace]

This track is like a greatest hits of their best schemes and flows. That Silk Cut/Bensons line has a third meaning in that Silk Cut were low tar cigarettes, so he's saying he's clean cut on the outside, but business (full tar Benson's) on the inside. Genius writing.

[@federalreservewolflegend3523]

You are on TOP of a wave I can't describe. These boys are straight out of the golden age, mixed with drill, and all the other newer flows. But IMPROVED. It's quite stunning.

[@LudicrousBarchart]

Jam Jar is cockney rhyming slang for Car. That bar is working on hidden levels.

[@chieftron]

Pete and Bas are smooth as fuck! Love all their shit!

[@richardweekes9130]

Knox, You really need to react to all of P&B's music because you catch everything! Especially with your general knowledge of UK culture. So many others get stuck on words and terms, like "Neck", "Jacksons", "Davina McCall", "Top of the Pops" (T-Pain remix). Another certified reaction. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@twylotwo]

Pete & Bas wouldn't get out of bed for less than five figures. And if they're talking Mula: £5 = Deep Sea Diver or Lady Godiva (Fiver) £10 = Tenna , Cockle & Hen (Ten) , Ayrton Senna or a Pavarotti (A Tenor) £20 = Score £25 = Pony £50 = Bully (Bullseye centre circle score on a dart board) £100 = Ton £500 = Monkey £1000 = Grand

[@deanosaur808]

In reality though, they can't be earning more than four figures for each live show. Tickets are dirty cheap at around 20 quid! Fvcking legends 😎

[@ryanolsen294]

@@deanosaur808😂worth everything ❤

[@twylotwo]

@@deanosaur808 Yeah cost me a score at The Troxy. Bought three tickets and two no shows. Muppets missed out. Top night.

[@deanosaur808]

@twylotwo considerably cheaper than oasis tickets 😅 Some of their tickets from earlier in the year included a drink. I think 15 - 20 quid! 🤯 Sold out quick though 😥

[@BloodsCaress]

@deanosaur808 Depends, the venue may pay you x amount and still keep tickets cheap. They make the loss up in other areas like concessions

[@therefixframeuproduction1093]

Look out for Bas bar "You me call like Miss Divina=Divina McCall UK TV presenter". Pete and Bas don't miss🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@deanosaur808]

Yeah but she's married It's forgivable though 😂

[@iambish]

These guys are unmatched and will spark you out with a look 🤚🏻

[@Vossflying]

I saw them live…. They dropped some killer accapela freestyles on stage it was insane

[@iRoboticGaming]

Hope you'll break down Sindhu Sesh, probably the most lyrically dense song they have, bars on bars

[@chux4w]

Longthorne Shotgun is dense too. I'd put that one slightly ahead. Both are well worth analysing.

[@Navigata1]

Please Sindhu Sesh🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@markcarey67]

"I'll Battenberg him"

[@VaelryckSvitkona]

Please do this

[@spellcaster101]

In my humble opinion I think this community could be Knox Flock - we flock to Knox for every reaction. much love from the UK x

[@teacherbecca526]

I like Fort Knox cause he catches all the Bars😊

[@josephhall5136]

The effort you go into tho research things to bring to the videos is unrivalled. Quality videos mate.

[@AnthonyRoumo]

Luv It !!!! Album dropping 11/22 cant wait !!!!

[@danielguerrero5692]

Love your breakdowns and your music brother!! Never stop doing you!!

[@daidaley3781]

potter payper is a UK artist and i think they have this joke beef going on (dont know if its a joke but lets go with that)

[@johnathanlifsey9649]

It's hard to tell with Pete where the joke starts and stops, his internet persona is fucking hilarious.

[@DanielG1306]

I just saw them live on Saturday and absolutely loved it. They also dropped that they are doing support for Eminem's after party either next week or next month.

[@deanosaur808]

What after party?? They pulling your leg😂

[@DanielG1306]

​@@deanosaur808maybe so but that's what they said. It's not like I'm gunna be there anyway

[@vibeup3539]

I love when someone understands and explains the technical aspects of their raps. ❤❤🔥🔥🔥

[@laupstad]

My grades would be through the roof if Bas was my music teacher.

[@willdogon1874]

Pete & Bas are killing it right now. This is a banger! BTW, the very obvious name for your community would have to be Knox-ville

[@UrbnBarz]

Percussion sounds like pots and pans being hit. Subtle.

[@eyarebisong2152]

Now everyone wants to see their grandfathers rap! 😂

[@deanosaur808]

I'm not so sure 😱🤣🤣

[@virtualshoppers6633]

I just LOVE your passion for music! You have also introduced me to different artists that I probably wouldn’t listen to on my own! You are to see my playlist now! Keep on! LOVING IT!❤❤❤❤❤ Love this channel

[@michaelrudolph7003]

You could call your community "Fort Knox" and your followers could be "bars" as in gold bars at Fort Knox, but also because we're here for the lyrical bars. There's something there, I'll let you run with it.

[@DRiveraNat20]

Hell yeah

[@CrispyChips007]

Light work - Pete and Bas ! or Generals Corner! or Golf next ! love the fact you are giving these guys love. Iv been watching them for years. they keep leveling up their rapping skills. and the fact they perform live and sound good is WILD. 😊

[@Jack-SecITGuy]

Finally! Been waiting to hear you break them down.

[@1981FRUIT]

I think he's done 2 more in the past

[@thetalantonx]

7:05 - First US reactor I've seen to catch the Potter Payper bar. Yeah, Pete's got beef with him and has an outstanding challenge against him.

[@knowlesy3915]

That time I heard Sindhu Sesh for the first time, I havent heard anything as enjoyable as these two (whoevers doing it) since the late 80s/early 90s.

[@nycommittee5859]

Ya gotta react to Sindhu Sesh. It's an older track of there's...straight🔥

[@1Jonesyy]

Think you pulled every bar on this track Knox!! 👏

[@misslannie73]

You have to be the reaction King. More in-depth than anyone else. Like my old English Professor. Nice xx

[@soundthealarm83]

Bish Bash Bosh needs to be on your list of reactions for these gentlemen

[@ZurgOtter]

Was lookin forward to this reaction. Always love the breakdowns.

[@papworktv5]

They both just make rappers today look bad because they are soo good 🔥

[@MrMysterious749]

That intro song goes fucking crazy. It’s getting put on my playlist.

[@Frank-sf4gg]

bro i watch all reviews and your songs. i stream your albums. with that said some of us = me dont really understand uk slang and would appreciate their songs with a better understanding i get 70% understand when i hear i miss more than i want. ty bra keep it up

[@Idahoboy68]

Your breakdowns are so good, Knox. Thanks for the reaction!

[@mendronesg]

That first Bas verse is the best flow of 2024. no cap 🔥🔥🔥🔥

much appreciation to you reacting to another pete and bas.. can you pleaseeeee do more of them

[@petepowell7399]

You and crypt in 40 years 😅😂

I'd pay money to see Em, Pete and Bas thrown down on a track. Come on Em, Give'em a feature 😂😂😂.

There flow is beautiful and so natural/effortless

Brilliant reaction 😃😎🖤💥🔥🫡💃🏾💃🏾 Stepped in the building next! Please 🙏🏾

[@squadwipesyt3639]

Im surprised nobody has caught the smooth double Bas throws out "i-ching king with the pots and pans" working the pots to transform packs and serve em up.

[@RikFTK]

Davina McCall bars. Man, that brings back memories, had the biggest crush on her when she was on MTV Europe in the 90s.

[@Ike-q6w]

Pete = boy talk to me nicely or it's (Oris) watch brand/Bas = hallmark on my Audemars = watch brand both mention watches in their first 4 bars

[@MJ-tg7wv]

Love that you get the boys and reacting on their stuff. They are lit.

[@Sheilla357]

Hilltoppers? Knoxians? Barbies? Pete and Bas are the geezers I want to emulate when I grow up.

[@deanosaur808]

I suspect the lyrics were analyzed before the reaction. No American would know Davina mccall, and TCP? I doubt even if Brits under the age of 40 know what it is lol. It's all about the dettol now 😆

[@DJKuroh]

It's possible. He's pointed out things in so many reactions that no one else has, especially with UK artists. I give him the benefit of the doubt that he just loves to learn things.

[@1funkyflyguy]

I thought exactly the same thing you did, when he was breaking them down during the reaction. There is no way he knew those details unless he'd research it beforehand. Edit: Or else if he's got family, lived in, worked and/or visited and stayed the UK for a long amount of time!

[@andreasbuhrmann8442]

Knox's wife is british. He's mentioned that in earlier reactions.

[@chelseahaley8350]

​@1funkyflyguy He currently lives in the UK and has for some time...His wife is also british....

[@DJKuroh]

@chelseahaley8350 Well, that explains how he's so up on things like this. Good for him!

@KnoxHill should be obvious ... yall in Fort Knox surrounded by Gold "Bars"... lean into that theme

[@StillChewy]

This shit was so smooth! Excited as hell for the album!

[@beardedcreations]

Bro Ive veen waiting for you to get to this one. Pete and Bas and my new guilty pleasure that I dont even feel guilty about anymore lol.

[@aneurysm2479]

Catching this late, but your knowledge of UK early 00's TV is unreal. Even I missed the Davina McCall scheme. You shouldn't even know who she is lol. You AI Knox??? I am beginning to wonder :p As always, an absolute legend breakdown.

[@lochlanoloughlin1683]

@knoxhill of all the reactions I've watched of this you my man are the only one to see the davina mcCall bar. Going to see these OG's on Friday@, Birmingham UK 🔥🔥🔥

[@GretchZ]

There is a body part layer to the Jacksons scheme. Neck Face Figures (fingers) Then we get “down for some action.” Give em the one-two with the 3! That’s exactly why my jaw is crooked.

[@OGTricksy]

Knox Nation 🎉🎉

[@Quajek]

"I dropped him down and I made him PREY, you know I don't mean in a Christian way"

[@SntMichael716]

You should check out Pecan Pie by Nine and Dex. It is speculated that they are the ones helping pete and bas with their writing. Nine is "NineOneShots" who produces a lot of Pete and Bas songs. You will 100% hear the similarities in the flows and rhyme patterns. they are also super talented so worth the listen for sure! There is also speculation that they are actually Pete & Bas Grandsons but im not sure if there is any actual proof of that.

[@lukejarvis-q3e]

You are the GOAT for reactions, obviously you rap for a living but you get everything they say. Impressive

[@jibbybeast3330]

How intelligent Knox is im not sure if he is into politcal rap or conscious rap or trys to avoid it but having him listen to an Akala FITB or like a Lowkey would be amazing so insightful and anaylsis be off thr charts keep it up either way brother💯

Jackson’s whisky not gin, no one’s shooting gin straight 😂

[@mcblaze1986]

Shooting gin straight is actually the best way to drink it and to taste the flavours Init. The more expensive it is the smoother it goes down

You haven't met my wife...

[@keventy6114]

​@@ianbarkham5080 Lol

[@keventy6114]

If you chill a good gin, it isn't so bad. Also, gin is (or was) something more for the older gentlemen or ladies.

[@benebluesman]

I'm wondering if Bas is the most musically literate rapper. It's a meme that guitarists avoid music theory, I expect rappers might be worse. I can't imagine many MCs can give you 3 inversions of a Maj 13th chord, or notate their bars with 1/4,1/8 & 1/16th notes. It shows in his rhythmically complex flows. Finding out Pete was into ska in the '80s revealed he's been cool for a minute.

[@brettharper4763]

"Knoxers" Pus some basketball shorts up in the merch shop and call them "Knoxer Shorts" 😂

[@Info.isfree.openmind]

13:21 would like to see an interview talking about the growth and connection that brought them together!!

[@coles_recovery]

I have to thank @knoxhill for changing the way I understand rap. It's amazing how much I used to know compared to how I now interpret rap, I'm getting good at breaking down the lyrics/bars in most rap songs. 💯

I’m not ready to see rappers this old 😭😭😭😭😭 This is fire though 🔥🔥🔥

[@liquid834]

Great vid, awesome breakdown too, would love to see you react to Pete & Bas Window Frame Cypher which features the Snooker Team, which you will love i am sure. in that track is a guy called Norman Pain(Bald guy) and a guy called PKJ(ninja stars boy), who both do their own stuff and work together under the name Northern Boys. You need to check out Norman Pain - Sinhu Sesh as well. Subscribed

[@jeffmcgillisheiden794]

Wrapped in paper wet & brown is probably meat straight from the butcher, heard many miss it now haha New sub btw, learned stuff just from the way you pointed them out.

[@dreadpirate1337]

Knox has too much knowledge.. best breakdown channel imo..

[@robertoflaherty5663]

Always look forward to your bar breakdown!! Most of these other reactors are crap. And your knowledge of UK slang is impressive!!!

[@EO3CB]

I REALLY need to see you react to all of their songs.

[@giveli101]

Pete & Bas GO CRAZY, you need to deep dive

[@mgzcom]

Kitchen King is brand of pots and pans popular in the UK. Cooking!

[@charskull]

You gotta do quick 1-2 by these two. Their best sounding song

[@Tapestry1066]

Neck five with the Jacksons: Five $20s is a $100. That’s at least a triple.

[@MetalRocksMe.]

You always break em down so sweetly. 🍬 😅

[@danieljones9688]

Would love to see you break down another UK artist, Akala. Check out his fire in the booth (mainly parts 1 and 4). One of the best the UK has produced!
