HALLOWEEN IN THE UK?? | Americans React to Jam Baxter - Brains

[@graphicbars6553]

Jam Baxter ‘For a Limited Time Only’ is the one 👌🏼

[@noordstradamus]

Jam Baxter - The Stump is one of the illest things i have heard coming from the UK. Jam is super dope

[@michaelrichardson2418]

Jam Baxter is a crazy lyricist he is a very surreal writer, he is like a Picasso of bars but he flows smooth. He is one half of Dead Players with Dabbla the other half.

[@BeersBars]

Ah yeah, thanks again for putting us on ✌️🍻

[@deanmason4925]

Dead players are pure 🔥🔥🔥

[@ripdangerdolanunsubbedbutn8902]

​@@BeersBarshave you not done 'psychoville' yet by Dabbla!? Coz that's a must 💯💯💯💯

[@danielfletcher7796]

Please put these guys onto more of the high focus lot 🙏

[@lethaljakkson3174]

1/3 mate dont forget the beat producer GhostTown

[@LJboochaa]

Jam Baxter is a fucking genius man. Especially his first 3 albums. Whoever made his beats for those days is crazy. The prod’s name escapes me atm

[@bearthat]

SOOO GASSED you're exploring Jam! He's personally my favourite rapper (Ghetts is second) His subject matter is often bleak, gruesome and gritty, but his cadence flow and extensive vocabulary manage to paint mad visuals with words. A great artist.

[@JNRix1]

my favorite as well

[@DarkDemonicDating666]

Same, his descriptive language and imagery are unbeatable with intelligent lyricism, it's unreal. Definitely my favourite too, the whole High Focus label is so reliable. Love it all 👌

[@tylertheotaku9270]

Checkout 'For A Limited Time', 'Saliva' , and the Ed Scissor feat Jam Baxter track 'Excellent Donut' My favourite track (no video though) is 'Breakfast'

[@Rk-w03]

Rinse our Friday/spac out Monday Give it a listen, some of jams best stuff

[@axelperssonwieslander7687]

Yes some Jam Baxter! Hope you continue exploring this interesting artist! Keep up the amazing job! :) (He got some really good old tunes with the group Contact Play aswell)

[@BeersBars]

👀

[@sambbk7203]

Please do everything he's ever done. It's wild. 'Go On' 'The Stump' 'For a limited time only' Everything else.

[@onesths]

It's probably time to look up Baxter's 'for a limited time only' for a reaction. It's a masterpiece

[@markbebber2284]

Four owls “assassination”

[@FullMetalJesus84]

You should check out his newest tracks. It features a Spanish artist, Granuja. Jam actually drops a couple of bars in Spanish. Really smooth stuff.

[@michaelrichardson2418]

Yo of course we do Halloween, we created it! It's where you got it from🤣. it's originally a Celtic pagan religous festival called all hallows eve. Of course you guys commercialised it tho 🤣

[@sk8mysterion]

Been into UK rap since the 90s. Jam Baxter is my fave at the moment. Also on the "backpack" side of the scene: Cult of the damned, Lee Scott, Black Josh, Jehst (veteran!), Foreign Beggars, Ed Scizzor, Dirty Dyke. Jam Baxter tracks: Salsa Valentina, Red Hawaiians, Dumb, Mask, All Clear. With Dead Players: Cherry Turbo, Cooked.

[@arise2]

Why not try Cult of the Damned - Offie on for a taste of some grimey flavoured bars and into to Blah Records. And Lee Scott - Don't Tell Me for an introduction to his dope bars. Id look deeper into Lunar C's stuff for bars as well (Skwolla, Bumpin, Shabang/shallow) . Oh, and Ed Scissor - Coma is a good video introduction to the lyrical wizardry of High Focus Records. Ed Scissor - Theremin is how you paint pictures with language. Dirty Dyke - Whoops is how the uk flows in ways only the Uk do.

[@BeersBars]

Couple more checks!!

[@LOGANWINGATE2804]

@@BeersBarsanother vote for “Mask” and “Salsa Valentina” by Jam, great tracks

[@ilyLew]

Yess been waiting for some Jam Baxter. Please do ‘For a limited time only’ next

[@Leon_FTP]

Never expected to hear this song as a reaction, the reason why I love this channel 👊🏻

[@BeersBars]

🍻

[@jackvaxx2100]

if anyone's interested, i found the original sample completely by chance. it's in the live rendition of nat king cole's nature boy. check it out and wait for the piano solo :)

[@adrianadios5041]

UK Classic!

[@noordstradamus]

Here is a few other tracks that go hard from this Legend! Jam Baxter - Vines, Red Hawaiian , Caravan, but The Stump is the sickest thing on the list.

[@tylertheotaku9270]

He's awesome LIVE. I highly recommend going to one of his gigs. Check out the rest of the OG High Focus crew! Yes we celebrate Halloween

[@thedeeprot]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@michaelhawes1989]

Please do Jam Baxter - Vines, always been my favourite tune of his and its absolute wizardry from the best lyricist in the UK bar none.

[@jasonhaywood8200]

Yeah we do Halloween

[@matthewwalker5430]

Sorry it's a bit late, but you asked about Halloween and I'm not sure anyone answered in the comments. Halloween developed from British traditions but we don't celebrate quite the same way. When Christianity arrived on our Isles it took many of our festivals and turned them into Christian feasts - the Irish 'Samhain' and Welsh/Brythonic 'Noson Calan Gaeaf' became "All Hallow's Eve". The word "Halloween" is actually the Scottish abbreviatied way of saying "Hallow's Eve". We never had pumpkins, we would carve Turnips ... which was MUCH harder to do by the way ... but when the pilgrims went to the New World and could not find turnips they discovered pumpkins, which were both larger and way easier to carve. You guys "Americanised" it and because we Brits love any excuse to make ourselves look silly, it has caught on a bit here but it's no way as big as in the US. Over here it is really more for the kids only and even then it isn't as big a deal as in the US. We do, however, treat it as a night for the supernatural and certain communities engage in some of the folklore and tradition attached to the night, but generally we just watch ghost stories on the telly these days, which is a little sad. At least the students go get drunk in fancy dress (costumes).

[@Mixmidget]

So glad you got to check this 🙌

[@Tomp4ul]

Deffo check out more Jam Baxter! Proper poetic lyricist.

[@georgewalker4260]

As a fellow brit I can confirm that we do celebrate halloween.

[@StayFr0sty]

defo do more baxter!

[@CosmosesJones]

We have Halloween in the Netherlands, the carnaval you mentioned is only really in the south of the country (Brabant and Limburg) Officially Halloween isnt a holiday but many people celebrate it in some way and stores will have discounts etc Edit: yall should check out "Future Posse Cut One Thousand" by Dirty Dike if you havent already!

[@klompb]

I always enjoy watching you guys react ot UK hip hop. Here's to hoping you get around to Knee Deep by Dead Players.

[@Mistake_Not]

on an extra note (just because on the second watch i'm not sure if you put it together or not) but you've actually reacted to jam baxter before because he's 1 3rd of Dead Players. He's been in other collective colabs like contact play but dead players is the most recent as far as i know. He did a lot of duo stuff with Ed Scissortongue too which was also worth exploring. get ready for heavy metaphors and picasso style imagery

[@lethaljakkson3174]

yes yes Jam Baxter is the best mc check out: Jam Baxter Husk SBTV rooftop session and/or Tittanic 2 ft Lee Scott

[@littlebabyrhino9471]

So glad to see u lot on jam beeeeezy, so underrated even here in the UK

[@swervmusic]

[@BeersBars]

Climbing!!

[@barney_7672]

Yeah we have Halloween in the uk. Not a traditional festival like but one we've adopted from the US. We dress up and trick or treat, same as you

[@bftb]

halloween originated in the uk, we didn't adopt it from the us.

[@MikeNolan59]

The instrumental on this slaps 🔥

[@michaelworld1]

Like the trick of treat :)

[@jameshutcho1]

try "go on" by him too :)

[@youngaRLK]

You’ve already reacted to him with a few dead players tracks. But if you want a halloween track from him “Hellathon” or “Mask” ft Rag’n’Bone Man & OG Rootz (Durrty Goodz)

[@Leon_FTP]

If you want a very lyrical tune with jam Baxter in and plently of the other high record artists coma is a good song to react to 👌🏻

[@deanmason4925]

Life in the balance by the 4 owls has jam on it 🔥🔥

[@bftb]

halloween originated in the uk.

[@plentyofcalcium]

Shame you didn't have much to say. He's one of the best lyricists out there.

[@ryanbarratt6991]

Check out cult of the dammed they fire ..or mcarber brothers

[@matthewjones9081]

You boys need to check out bugsy no 1 he's 🔥🔥

[@stfckelpol]

High focus cmon so sick

[@PatrickByrne-e5v]

Do PITMAN

[@bloxHD]

we do have Halloween but no where as big of a deal as the American version

[@TheActualJesus]

Jam Baxter is sort of too good for his own good. The level of effort he puts into each sentence is too much for most people digest after 10 listens, let alone one. He sort of suffers from being a bit too...idk. hes writing art, not rap. He's talented to a degree thats overwhelming and so special that i just think its not possible for him to get appropriate recognition on a grand scale, and thats too bad. This person could've done anything artistically and been top 3, he just happened to choose rap.

[@kevintwine2315]

Very few come close to Jam

[@Mistake_Not]

we do have halloween but we dont really compared to you guys. kids dont really trick or treat, maybe a little but not en masse like the americans. nothing big really happens. people might throw a party or go out to the pub in fancy dress or something but its pretty quiet really

[@Amabqlad]

First

[@123456twat]

jam is a legend , also i personally prefer your old intros as imo its less fragmented / keeps the vibe going without the longer pause for the intro to be done , that's just my opinion as you asked a few reactions ago what we thought :P have a good Halloween gents! 🎃🎃👻👻🦇🦇
