[@user-jq2rt5mr1m]

Tool - right in two

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@lindsayholt5824]

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

[@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.

[@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 😥

[@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

[@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.

[@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 😂

[@chieftron]

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

[@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😊

[@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. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@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."

[@LudicrousBarchart]

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

[@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.

[@iambish]

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

[@josephhall5136]

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

[@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

[@AnthonyRoumo]

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

[@misslannie73]

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

[@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.

[@danielguerrero5692]

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

[@1Jonesyy]

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

[@UrbnBarz]

Percussion sounds like pots and pans being hit. Subtle.

[@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

[@MrMysterious749]

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

[@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

[@lorrainemcdonald7982]

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

[@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

Now everyone wants to see their grandfathers rap! 😂

[@deanosaur808]

I'm not so sure 😱🤣🤣

[@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. 😊

[@soundthealarm83]

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

[@Jack-SecITGuy]

Finally! Been waiting to hear you break them down.

[@1981FRUIT]

I think he's done 2 more in the past

[@vibeup3539]

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

[@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!

[@Sheilla357]

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

[@ZurgOtter]

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

[@petepowell7399]

You and crypt in 40 years 😅😂

[@mendronesg]

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

[@papworktv5]

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

[@nycommittee5859]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@andrewkennedy5702]

Love from Australia at 4am. Just finished playing some BO6 zombies now gonna watch this ☠️

[@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.

[@Idahoboy68]

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

[@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.

[@RikFTK]

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

[@DanDan-hm2ws]

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

[@brettharper4763]

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

[@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.

[@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 🔥🔥🔥

[@lukejarvis-q3e]

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

[@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.

[@OGTricksy]

Knox Nation 🎉🎉

[@wfmcurrie]

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

[@ianbarkham5080]

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.

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

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

Great reaction Knox. Chin wag in the boozer could also be a reference to taking Ecstacy. Chin wagging due to the unbelievable gurn from the E's

[@deanosaur808]

Nah, it's just chatting in a pub 😆🍻

[@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

There flow is beautiful and so natural/effortless

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

“I ship packs like dpd” - in the UK, the parcel shipping company DPD is also known as UPS in the USA. “so the boys on the beat won't leave me be” - the beat is the police foot patrol. so the cops won't leave him alone as he is shipping product like UPS

Jam jar is Cockney rhyming slang for car. You caught the Silk Cut reference but Bensons was another brand of UK cigarette. Anyway, for someone not British you did really well.

[@deanosaur808]

Silk Cut used to be a milder version of Benson and hedges. I still remember b&h written at the bottom of the packet Only smoke the finest grade of green now 😆

[@itsakittyting]

You have a very analytical mind and it often makes me wonder if the artists who's flows you dissect, really think about these things🤔 I would presume it's a question of feeling the flow inside your being, but then again I am not analytical at all when it comes to music, i just feel it. Interesting how different humans are from one and other
