With the entire package now here, ARIZONA BABY is nothing short moving. A 33 minute epic spanning the years of Ian Simpson's life before and after fame struck, the affects it had and this constant feeling of always being stuck in the same spot no matter how much the circumstances change.
An absolutely impeccable performance, assembly, and delivery of one of the most important, human pieces I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.
#The1999 is here.

Dominic Fike’s bit in Peach is one of the best parts of the whole album tbh. I’m glad someone else loved it as much as me.

[@dylanb2364]

Definitely. I was a little worried about his part in the album but he KILLED it

[@lukedavenport4663]

deadass

[@mxxxw4529]

In crumble too

[@4lexgm]

I accidentally ran into kevin before a brockhampton show last fall and I was so stunned that all i said was “wow, I love you” and walked away.

[@tmanx8]

Same, except I couldn’t bring myself to say anything lol

[@stevenking07]

Alex Michel wtf else would anyone say that was better?

[@quetz1813]

I see the Tabs man, I click. I see an overused san Andres meme, I smile anyway. Love ya cute ass

[@vivienneeliza4986]

You forgot to bully us in the beginning.

[@thelonelystoner25]

That spongebob campfire bit for Peach was so good

[@mrsedsheeranforforev]

im so happy that this album resonated with you as it did with me. i dont meet many people who're as passionate about the artistry of music and I truly appreciate how you review music in general

[@BRoman35]

The spongebob campfire song edit was 🔥😂

[@HotStrange]

Best part

[@jaqu9001]

lmaooo bearface as squidward too that's perfect

[@PFDadReacts]

Glad you also like American Problem... **coughs** melon **coughs**

[@c4shguy224]

When he takes off that hat it’s gonna be perfectly smooth

[@Cedrou21]

that mind lost his mind... this track is amazing

[@Maskaraj]

You are the person that I run to when it comes to album reviews. Not only are your reactions wonderful, but I can tell that your passion for music is there. Not only do you listen to it and review it, you also put a lot of work into your editing. That tells me that you care about the product that you put out. Your hard work shows. And I absolutely appreciate it. You make the experience so fun.

[@largeDUMBASS]

yo tabby your editing has gotten top notch man, always love the shit you put out Edit: AND IMMA MEET YOU SOMEDAY you should totally tour sometime and come to the carolinas bruh

[@brendenbowers1]

One of the best albums of year I’m calling it that it’ll be hard to top this

[@steadyrhythms9571]

we went from a weak year to like too many fantastic albums in about a month (Weyes Blood, Fontaines D.C., Kevin Abstract, Rico Nasty, American Football, and King Gizzard).

[@Christian-uu2yw]

until the new gambino drops at least

[@JareBralTer]

@@steadyrhythms9571 I was thinking the same thing. I wasn't very impressed with a lot of the stuff that came out earlier this year but it seems like recently there's been a high volume of really good shit dropping, and the rest of the year is looking good too with IR and others dropping

[@n1ck140]

Brenden Bowers playboi carti is dropping whole lotta red soon be careful

[@jackrotting]

idk man, that new rico nasty/kenny beats project is straight murder

[@adamboof6769]

Arizona baby is the best album of the year so far. It’ll definitely be hard to top this project. I’m so excited for the rest of the year.

[@HotStrange]

It really might be my favorite as well. So so good.

[@maszamap3888]

Your reaction to American problem made me smirk so goddamn hard

[@remembers911]

This is like endgame but with Kevin

[@starylize]

yes

[@jampoots5367]

thank you for posting this hope you're doing well loved the album just like you, the amount of depth and raw emotion it has really got to me

[@BellBird2000]

the only person on youtube i care about

[@alextromagnetic]

1999 the only year I remember

[@notinthetextbook3274]

i love how honest you are in these reaction videos. it's like you're not just reacting to the music, you are reacting to the artistry and the emotions underneath it in this beautiful vulnerable way. im going through some bad stuff atm and for real tabby your vids are helping me get through. keep it up man

[@Tabby]

hey keep it up yourself man you got this & can overcome whatever life is throwing at you 🧡

[@user-md3is4dq2d]

What I got from THE1999 livestream: *KA Likes Death Grips.*

[@vaina2]

gEt geT GeT gEt Got gOt GoT

[@inactive9544]

Boyer well epitomizes the 1999 Teach Me Empathy stream. "You cannot run forever now; Gotta learn your listen child." It's the idea of both Kevin and the people who support him learning how to properly balance their relationship. By stripping himself away from that stage or social media disconnect where it's hard to reach him, he puts himself right there for people to properly digest and understand, so overtime they can be less star struck and see him as more of just a person, sweating, running, and seeing other people approach him with memorabilia to sign in such a state. Thus teaching them empathy. He stands there patiently listening and responding, no matter the subject, all the while running, sweating, clearly in strained agony. This is Kevin teaching himself empathy. The act of persevering and not losing is cool, and not giving up, and really listening to what his fans are saying. It's a really dope performance piece.

[@TheMinecraftMan4Ever]

The end of Crumble is a Puppy snippet

[@aimzzaaay8693]

Tab "I'm inspired" by

[@HotStrange]

Boyer is by far one of the best songs Kevin has made. This album is just really great.

[@olivierreinoud3917]

please do continue uploading on a regular basis now tabby great video's recently

[@casey2072]

Tabby: American Problem is your best song EVER. Anthony Fantano punching the air rn

[@dysperdotted]

he really was on a treadmill for 10 minutes.

[@vaina2]

dymob. yeah he just slowed down the footage

[@WeGotTheWinnerJimmer]

It was 10 hours

[@dysperdotted]

Rat Activities bro it was 10 minutes.

[@vaina2]

Rat Activities dumbass he slowed the footage

[@TheShaq9001]

I love American Problem

[@Idk14287]

BRO DOMINIC FIKE IS SO GOOD IVE LISTENED TO EVERY SONG HE HAS EVERY MADE AND THERE IS ACTUALLY NO SKIPS

[@andrewkemp7087]

The spiritual connection is real. I've never connected to an artist or music group in the way I connected to Kevin and Brockhampton. When you listen to them, it feels like they just get you. That's some of the most powerful shit when someone understands you, when they know all they need to do is just stand with you while you're in the dark. They've helped so many people feel less alone and feel human and we owe them so much

[@Keipoom]

In my view on kevin 10hrs walking on the treadmill. what kevin is trying to say when he is helplessly on a treadmill surrounded by people who won't leave him alone and trying to show how tiring fame is. Rather than wanting autographs, people should support him this at the same time teaching people empathy. Teach me empathy again.

[@Skatingnoob]

This. It annoyed me so much seeing people ask for their shoes to be signed??? Like bruh

[@Keipoom]

@@Skatingnoob bro i hate those ppl just *Kevin signs autograph* Thank you you're such a inspirational *Leaves*

[@Skatingnoob]

@@Keipoom I understand you want your shit signed by someone who's affected your life, but at least show that he affected your life 😂

[@aadliafiq]

Still waiting for that flume mixtape

[@zack_whom]

adli afiq REALLY THO

[@sportclips2461]

[@Noah-mj9yx]

[@bm-ot1zb]

Listening with the car on, think about the environment Tabby!

[@ratclitoris]

your reactions make me love this album and the songs more. i appreciate the fuck out of you for that like you make me enjoy this shit more than i usually do and make me appreciate it 100x more. love ya

[@juveangulo9963]

I’m just waiting for that merch announcement. Fingers crossed he puts this masterpiece on vinyl

[@kameron5979]

Didn’t sound like it, his response on the treadmill sounded like they definitely didn’t exist sadly

[@juveangulo9963]

Kameron damn

[@4lexgm]

Kevin is being more vulnerable than ever. From the album to the ten hour stream to whatever the fuck he will come out with next, we are watching a beautiful, intimate story unfold before our very eyes. Kevin Abstract is my biggest inspiration and I know I am not alone when I say that.

[@gavindanaher5430]

legit crying rn goin thru some shit i love you man Kevin means so much

[@gracedorothy430]

i fucking love you, you’ve made me appreciate music so much more

[@Blueissuperior]

American Problem is such an amazing song for Kevin to have put! Boyer resonates the most for me ON LOOP.

[@gavindanaher5430]

[@Claudia-dv9iz]

So many vids out lately, proud of u ❤️

[@erikanderson288]

last December I went to a Brockhampton concert and I saw Ian looking out of an open window at the venue and I screamed at him "OH MY GOD IAN I LOVE ARIZONA BABY" and he yelled back to me "you wanna hold my baby?" and I almost died right there

[@dylrowan70]

Worth the wait, good stuff my dude 🔥🔥

[@UltimateIconner]

i needed every piece of this here reaction and i aint watch it yet

[@pnw8836]

Peach is definitely my favorite song of the year so far

[@TheAncientEmo]

Yeeehaw I’ve been staying up late for this

[@owennester7553]

boyer transitions into big wheels (and they’re the same tempo) so you can go hard as fuck and bawl your eyes off for eternity

[@mattmulugeta6850]

Love!

[@ShelliSands]

The faces you make remind me of when I first heard this.

[@damienscullytoo]

peach fucking bangs. I cant stop listening.

[@ellew1226]

[@ilrhwuejs]

6:13 why tf his clap sound like a signal light

[@jamesbridges7314]

This is one of my favourite albums ever!

[@Btg097]

SO MUCH CONTENT 😭😭😭

[@eccojam]

not to alarm you or anything but i made the pic of bearface at 3:29 i almost peed myself

[@harleyfields1664]

This album is Ian's "SWIMMING".

[@claptrap6359]

Sinclair Black don’t let melon see this

[@janitobonito]

The editing was tooooop

[@fkncoldy]

It is a bit late Mr. Tabbington

[@oscardevold2573]

CJ, The Atkinson Mr. Tabbsworthshire

[@birdertweet]

follow him on twitter then

[@PatchworkLP]

Not gonna hate, I loved the album too but I wish Tabby would be a bit more constructive and adding more points Sometimes it feels like he's just hyping up everything That being said, I still loved the editing!

[@WillyG38]

I see what you're saying, but the truth is he only reacts to things that he already knows he's gonna love. And this album in particular is INCREDIBLE dude. But specifically for Tabby and people like Tabby, such as myself. I can't find a single issue with this album, and I can't stop listening. So if I did a reaction it would've been the exact same.

[@edwinapa]

Clicked the video waiting to see him hear boyer

[@nikkipangbourne57]

did u not notice the puppy sample in crumble? when i first heard it i lost my shit

[@notpatrickfrench]

Hey man, it’s not rap, but you should check out Paris by Owel. It’s my aoty so far, and it’s honestly pretty damn perfect. It makes me sad that no ones giving it any attention, so you should definitely check it out!

[@davidcremin3837]

I don't think the album's perfect but this sound he's created here is so unique the mixture of genres is great

[@userkeepinglock]

dude i could’ve sworn it was matt in crumble ian sounded exactly like him for a few seconds

[@elevatorman5986]

When you're on Kevin Abstract's Spotify page and Tabby is in the "recommended" tab

[@dripdropx2563]

Question. would you react to a Foreign Project if it has an Interesting Sound ? i think, "ćpajstajl - lato w ghettcie" is one of the best Experimental Underground albums i listened to and i would be interested what you think about it. (it's only 35 min. long, and the whole thing is on KZbin)

[@RobsonDean]

Album of the year. No question about it.

[@eldudereeno77]

It's fucking April...so there is a question about it.

[@sanderdijksterhuis2262]

You should react to Not waving, but drowning by Loyle Carner, if you haven’t heard it yet :)

[@zamandave]

In glad I’m not the only one who did that at 7:16

[@MikeXiL]

Thanks, tabby!

[@kibbt]

Kevin really does sound like Matt at that one part in crumble

[@youngsinatra6029]

Aoty this albums fantastic

[@jayleegarcia7134]

7:16 LITERALLY ME TOO TABS, ME TOO, when the N word came out I said "hold up"

[@vivienneeliza4986]

Upload consistently? Who are you?

[@FlasKamel]

He is Tabby, a youtuber.

[@yo-man928]

FlasKamel you should follow his Twitter, much easier to keep up with tabs

[@MinecraftBros2412]

Peach is so fucking catchy

[@nemo2327]

crumble hitting them feels😥

[@yaakub5916]

[@fati4aaa]

[@maszamap3888]

[@leonelvelez6586]

There’s a voice on American Problem that sounds like Ameer

[@HotStrange]

It’s not though.

[@charlibeee]

[@joekratman1872]

[@notprosperBEATS]
