Is this real!? 🇬🇧🎵 Pete and Bas Plugged In Reaction

[@emilianopaz2800]

That’s their real voice, every proper English old man basically sounds like that

[@ghostgirl10]

I used to work in bookies around East London and 75% of my customers sounded like this! Propa'geezas! Even more confusing when they used cockney rhyming slang which some did sometimes.

[@johndeeregreen4592]

You need to understand, these are true OG gangsters from the U.K.. Pete, the shorter one, was actually muscle for the mob. These OGs are the real deal. They could still make someone disappear.

[@angelogandolfo4174]

They probably still DO; not just COULD. Like you said, they’ve been muscle, enforcers, debt collectors, etc, for the mob, for real. And, maybe scariest of all, they were the “Go To” guys for a number of serious gangland bigwigs and the mob. And “Go To” guys have that title for a reason. You go them when a problem needs ‘fixing’, and you can’t get anyone else who’s guaranteed to do the job properly. And I don’t need to spell out what kind of ‘jobs’ we’re talking about. But it wasn’t fixing a leaking tap (faucet). I’ll leave it there.... For anyone interested in finding out more, one of the most infamous and “successful” fixers/ “Go To” guys, going right back to the 60s’, was London gangster Freddie Foreman. There are tons of documentaries and stuff that mention him, on KZbin. Worth a look. It is fascinating. Finally, This is not idle, “make a quick buck using the ‘novelty’ aspect of being older guys rapping”. Having dug a bit, they were properly mobbed-up. Wow.... nice find......

[@maxredpain5582]

Uk music (rap and grime) is all about bars so we don’t care if a track is 10mins or 20mins long, it’s all about the art of listening to what styles, punchlines and hype the artist can bring. Some are even an hour long and most are done live with a DJ or just in front of a camera with a beat playing. Back in the days all this was on stage in front of 100s to 1000s of people so if you messed up or said a shit bar everyone would cuss you for it lol. To understand grime you have to go BAAACK

[@BradAndLex]

Yesss we wanna do a history of grime livestream with yall!!

[@maxredpain5582]

@@BradAndLex much love to both yous 👊🏾 just remember before going into this, just like American rap, grime started/came from the sound system battles waaaaay back in the day where a DJs would showcase his talents on the decks while an MC would do the same on the mic. The aim was to either hype the crowd or kill the other MC with bars. (If the producer or MC killed it the DJ would “pull-up” or “reload” the instrumental which made the crowds go crazzzzy! (Some songs are banned because they’d make people so hype gunshots would go off or fights would start) the slang you hear in the music are basically just Jamaican and African words mixed with normal English.

[@karlnelson4218]

90s DNB lead the way; loved hearing that staccato rap over those beats; then Roots Manuva with the slow drop beat followed by the quick bars. Haven’t kept track of stuff from the UK for a while, but UK rap is very distinct. It’s great.

[@carlosvelez6029]

Sounds way better and way more talented then majority of mainstream artists nowadays 🤣

[@raha1277]

They are better than 99% of artist out there, it is both their voices and them writing, lots of media out there to hear them speak.

[@sicraandrei4735]

this 2 can't apreciate...sad

[@b3a5t89]

I 100% agree with Pete’s voice being described as “crispy”. I’ve loved how he sounds on the tracks since I first heard them, but never could attach a word to it.

[@willrichardson519]

Definitely raspy

[@scubasteve4152]

Pronunciation and not mumbling words so the references and the words making sentences flow in a nice descriptive matter, a thing that is often lost in rap because a trend of wanting to do it as fast as possible. Theres is not stress and they are actually telling you something so you try to listen to the lyrics in a way you wouldn't do in a song where content is repetitive or not original. I think the shorter one said something in a interview about his accent helping him in a weird way.
