[@MarlonCraft]

appreciate y’all man 🙏🏻. much love. hope everybody in here get to check out Funhouse Mirror my debut album out everywhere. 🙏🏻🙌🏻

[@poetjoel]

Dude, you are effin awesome.

[@CharleyCarey]

Dope album!

[@krimzonghost1987]

Yo Marlon Craft! I love the album man! Tunnels end was the shit too! I can't wait to see what impact you have on hip-hop moving forward. Respect from Michigan!

[@josephgreene4841]

Aye Marlon you dope fam.. album is fire too

[@emill2119]

Straight bars yo respect from chicago

[@TZ4789]

Plot twist: Jay electronica actually dropped the album

[@NivekTheTruth]

Underrated comment

[@JimmyMcAsshole]

Marlon did it

[@aratathekingx1401]

This aged like wine. He did it. The mad man Jay did it

[@MK-fi6mh]

Hahahah

[@iowacub1]

I feel like they were missing the line by saying "oxy coat" it. He very much said "Ta-Nahesi Coate it" referring to the writer who wrote "Between the World and Me" and the article "The Case for Reparations". HUGE difference between those lines.

[@TheCarnivore5247]

Bothered me to no end. But they were just confused by the barrage of good lines there. You right tho.

[@sorrywereopen3140]

I'm sure they read Lyrics to most songs they put on the Channel, so probably whomever typed up the Lyrics missed the bar Edit: You can see them reading when they pause, and they say as much in other videos

[@roman111117]

Tbh I still never new that until now and I think most people wouldn't catch that one.

[@markmcgarrity8911]

Second reaction that got that line wrong in the same way. Makes me sad more than anything, because that bar is SOOOO good.

[@MoinMeister_187]

I feel like "Gang shit" by him would be a pretty good recommendation

[@CharleyCarey]

I been saying that!!!!

[@FaysalAlZand]

Na I don't think that's his best imo

[@MoinMeister_187]

@@FaysalAlZand well i wouldn't know since i havent heard anything else from him, bur gang shit i really enjoyed for the sound as well as the concept of it

[@tylito4764]

Do the work

[@kerryshelton8868]

"So I feed 'em raw bars but I Ta Nehisi Coate it"... reference back to the culture. Ta Nehisi Coates is a journalist/author whose research and writings on redlining exposed the injustices of past American institutional practices that help to explain the current state of racial disparity and form part of the conversation on reparations currently being held.

[@scottbaglia9264]

Thank you for finally giving Marlon a chance, been requesting him for almost 2 years now. Yeah he started off doing freestyles around NYC most of the time in his room. He does a lot of live band stuff you should check out like tunnels end or static. His new album funhouse mirror is dope as well.

[@myjciskate4]

scott baglia Now they just need to do King Iso. I’ve been requesting him just as long not as I’ve been requesting Marlon Craft.

[@officialandr3s215]

Been waiting for this one let’s go! Glad to see you guys are all well! Thanks for what you do for the true hip hop culture💯

[@moneybeast3369]

Check out his new album funhouse mirror. Its super fire

[@Rushnzl16]

Bro its amazing the soul and jazz on this album it's so good

[@aceofspade2120]

It's a masterpiece. Those live recordings are epic. "Family" alone is epic

[@davydoomz]

A fan of RTJ AND Craft!?👊🏽 BADASS

[@Bobuniz]

I sleep on my back, my girl sleeps on her side.. and everyone sleeps on Marlon Craft

[@MrCBTman]

"I feed 'em straight bars, but I Ta-Nahesi-Coat 'em" - My favorite bar of the freestyle.

[@CharleyCarey]

Took me watching this like 10 times to hear that line right.

[@Providenza]

Everyone misses this bar, shit was like a quadruple entendre and can be taken so many ways. Marlon is the truth.

[@Kqtoh]

Damn, this dude is pretty dope ty for putting me on lmao Also, could y'all react to Tsu Surfs Bars on I-95 Freestyle, it's easily one of the best freestyles I've listened too, just straight up real street shit you guys would love it

[@HawwwFordShittt]

Facts!! He recorded that over here in CT 7 I must admit thats one of the best freestyles i've ever heard

[@DazeDemon]

I usually ignore comments like this tbh but I happened to look this up and god damn

[@chrismalinowski654]

They liked your comment so your wish might be granted or they’ve already heard it

[@zeus8684]

LgcIX check his survival of the fittest so many bars

[@assheismyheart]

Crazy freestyle!

[@qAYKE0406]

He makes these "Craftstyles" - remixes of songs, where he records himself rapping them into a microphone in his (bed)room

[@georgemartinez5855]

Let em know g!!!

[@Hydro.420]

Just wanna say thank you guys for checking this out. Been trying to put people on to this kid, I even transcribed this whole thing on genius. Keep up the good work!!

[@dylangaither8078]

Marlon Craft- Gang Shit It’s similar to Joyner Lucas- I’m not racist

[@MegaShinobi2011]

Man, this song and video will easily put him as a personal favorite for them both.

[@Happycamper808]

Thats one of his weaker songs tbh. The stuff on the tunnels end Pieces ep are better

[@joker6-6]

@@Happycamper808 You can go to sleep now. 😉

[@danndib]

Gang Shit is a MUST!!

[@nunu32246]

@@joker6-6, he's right. Alot of people prefer conceptual songs to actually lyrical songs. There is a difference.

[@ramontavarez7273]

Ya should do “Gang shit” by him. Dope song where he gets to show his flow with a dope concept. Keep up the good work guys love this channel.

[@richuseloh]

"Gang shit"... This boy is the truth... Our people need to get back to the "message in the music" format of the culture (hip hop). His whole catalog has got sumthin to say. My new #1 right now lyricist ... That's from ol skool...

[@jmartfishing]

Agreed, yall need to do GANG Shit!!!!

[@fatherandsonvibes]

Salute my Brothers. Best to both of you. Marlon is a young Assassin.

[@fallonemagali]

Since English is not my mother tongue, I find these videos very helpful. Thank you guys😊.

[@MiddleClassMagi]

Magali good for you dear!! Listen to Marlon Craft, he has mastered the English language.

[@juanbond85]

It's about fuckin time!!! I've been waiting for this for a long time now, and I couldn't click this fast enough when I woke up to this notification. So glad you guys finally know who he is, and I can't wait to see more reactions to his music!

[@nikolatesla9296]

One of the best reaction videos I've seen. Don't mind the pauses at all because you guys actually break down the bars.

[@SuperNikeface]

Ya'll do the BEST breakdowns when rappers got real bars. Everyone else just skims over them and hardly address them. good stuff, keep it coming.

[@nicksmart2611]

Facts, they need a radio show maybe on shade 45.... Hands down the most intelligent brake downs on YT.

[@alanaduran9045]

I had to revisit this. Watched a year ago. This dude ahead of the curve. He was talking about this world were in right now before we were in it. Love it

[@Birdman2003]

Love yall breakdown, when I saw 2 old schools I hit the sub G, thank yall for acknowledging this dudes lyrics cuz this will really push the movement off the dope and murder rap.

[@sibusisokhanyile5045]

Bra you exactly what's been missing in hip hop straight, your music is just a breath of fresh air... thank you sir,

[@standup4change]

I'm glad you guys are finally getting into Marlon! His Craftstyles are definitely worth checking out, as well as his "Tunnel End" freestyles that he did IN and FOR every borough in NYC!! Appreciate you guys' dedication to music! 💙🙏🏽

[@joojoobomb]

I love this. Subscribed to you guys on the strength of this video. Brother on the right has some great analysis of the content. You guys are great. Respect!

[@1978Calamity]

I am glad y'all are reacting to him. I have been following him for a few years. He is always deep. You should definitely listen to more of his music.

[@daltonhostetter7405]

Glad you guys gave this man his props and dues. He is always slept on. Marlon Craft is the man. He is giving hip hop a purpose again.

[@RJ-sh6ow]

Didn't catch all of these lines until it was slowed down with the commentary, appreciate how a few words has so much depth it takes a few minutes to dive into it.

[@craigberman6263]

So pumped you're finally on Marlon Craft. Kids been around for a bit and finally hes getting recognition. He speaks wisdom.

[@OsOl0K0_ttv]

I love seeing Marlon on the channel, he's had it for years, dude is one of the best out right now imo

[@dallasaho3115]

I’ve been patiently waiting for this. I’m liking this before I even watch.

[@edwardshalash2607]

FINALLY ... I couldn't believe y'all eventually gonna get to Marlin, I have been requesting his freestyle since his first one on Sway Highly appreciated guys . Salute

[@skyfe5430]

Wow... thank you guys AGAIN for putting me onto another great artist! Been checking out a whole lot more of him the last couple of hours and he's incredibly talented. Would love to hear you react to "Do the work" in particular. I'm pretty sure you'll value it a lot too!

[@tyrawilliams5683]

I love your guy's reactions I watch your channel to find more real music this guy Marlon Craft was fire because of this video I looked more into him. Thank you guys for what you're doing with promoting music with heart and soul real shit

[@davydoomz]

Been following Craft for years. Glad to see him coming up!

[@GothamCityBrute]

Marlon Craft- Marco Made Me Do It. That whole album probably my top 10 ever

[@jordandavidgoldy]

Dope you guys finally got to Craft!! He used to make rap videos in his room. One of his most popular freestyles is his Survival of the fittest Craftstyle, definitely give that a look and also his track Gang is really dope, story telling. Another really dope track is Politickin, very relevant track aswell. #freethinkers shout out from SA 🇿🇦

[@AAEdits]

Get on Marlon’s new freestyle on FunkFlex. It’s even better than this.

[@jornoporno05]

This! Locksmith's recent freestyle on Sway is great as well.

[@stickyone11]

@@jornoporno05 yo Locksmith legit murdered that harder than I've seen anyone done it in a long ass time

[@suciobeats]

And Flex did him dirty.

[@MrWowh]

Idk about that one, but still fire. Flex is trash tho. They fucked him. And fucked him with the beat, and he is just a trash host.

[@patrickgouthro7031]

He dropped it hard that shit was long bro

[@chilldad981]

I stumbled upon craft back in like 2017 or 18. First track I heard was breakin n I was hooked! Kids got that IT factor.

[@chrisrome1426]

Love that yall gave him a proper listen, he's good, again gang shit would be nice. I love your break downs thank you for all yall do. much love.

[@adamthomas7]

Best reaction video ever seen. So many of these bars went over my head before I listened to this 😂

[@blainekym9516]

You better take note of any artist that artist that George be sayin ‘Depth’ like every 3rd word when describing that said artist. When he does use that magic word, that artist not only does has BARS but he has intellect, deep introspective thought, foreshadow, delivery, cadence and the ability to stay on topic and deliver home a single meaningful message. Well done again gentlemen. 👏🏾 from the 206

[@blainekym9516]

Well done unlike my grammatical errors. Sorry.

[@jmckenzie1099]

Worth the wait! Reminds me of the first Nick Grant video you guys did

[@davidrosenzweig1380]

I appreciate the way you both break down bars

[@hunterbartel222]

You guys have been the only reaction channel I like watching do this freestyle. When I first saw this I knew you guys would like this video...... he can rap rap lol 🔥 🔥

[@Cados52]

You guys did Marlon Craft?! I've been waiting for the day!

[@Stillrickyd]

was waiting for this review!

[@clarktownsend8991]

He is signed to a major label now. His last album released 3 months ago was his major label debut, its dope.

[@zackklingman155]

Who he sign to?

[@nathanhalstrom1197]

First video I’ve seen from you guys but won’t be my last. Love the way y’all break down the bars. Most people don’t catch them the first time. Sways look at the end of interview says it all. His craftstyles are fire too on his yt

[@douglasclark8234]

It is amazing that when someone bring real "hip hop" back to the modern times, people are sleeping on this dude when there are real messages in these barz; not candy coded lines that are not thought provoking; wake up "Marlon Craft" is a upcoming GOAT!!!

[@urielvaldovinos268]

Salute Marlon

[@jaredpeyketewa1911]

You guys give the best breakdowns. I'd definitely listen to your guises podcast.

[@CapturedByKen]

Damn, didn’t realize y’all were so close to a mil ...feels like yesterday when I found this channel lol ...the come up is definitely real

The video for gang shit by Marlon Craft is great video to react to

[@NyVsEvery1]

This song is Crazy 🔥🔥🔥

[@kylerobinson1985]

Yesssss, so glad you did Marlon Craft. Gang Shit and almost all of his "craftstyles" are amazing.

[@Happycamper808]

The static - marlon craft. An older song on a project thats heavily slept on. Or Politickin - Marlon craft.

[@RD-jr8nv]

Excellent review, shed some light on some bars I overlooked on this, respect. Be nice to see some Kendrick again, his new track with SiR is excellent.

[@NickMintz]

Can't wait to see your reaction to Marlon Craft Funk Flex freestyle. #MarlonGotBars

[@WhereFansMeet]

Gang Shit video has to be next on the Marlon Craft reaction 💯

[@Marcelo-zy5fh]

I hear the critique of "does he have flow?", and I have exhibit one Funhouse Mirror. Please, I know this isn't practical but, do a review of the album he just dropped. Every time I listen to it I hear new lines and feel like there is a flow to the whole thing. This kid is the truth.

[@BigGeorgedavis]

I believe it is the soul, Not the complexion of the person.................

[@joelarun5057]

Speaking of freestyle, could y'all react to the Logic No Pressure freestyle? It's like the YSIV freestyle, but better I think you'll like it

[@KevWebsz]

Was trying to think of how to describe this freestyle but it was said best here. "He can rap rap"

[@MrBlazzin101]

Bro its crazy that you can see when the NY rap comes out of him. Wow 🔥

[@cantseechit]

I've been subbed for a bit but just wana thank yall for the breakdowns. yall the best. respect!!!

[@austincrow9541]

Y’all should react to some Griselda freestyles/songs. Especially the Griselda LA Leakers freestyle with Conway and Benny

[@JimmyJ1983]

Yeah man griselda my favourite shit for last few years they flying the real flag for today's rap shit!!

[@f.rancooo]

They need at least one Griselda reaction on this like geeeez

[@enhancingthemind4608]

Craft is mad intellectually inclined for the game... he has a few more freestyles on sway as well as dopest freestyle ever on sway that created a new segment on sway which is called "Tapout"... Lord Owen

Much respect for George man....his knowledge about hip hop culture and references in general seems to know no boundaries !

[@ryanlindsay3837]

Thank you guys for your dedication to TRUE hip hop!! You guys need to do Oswins recent freestyle on Sway. Sway said it was best of the year! But be warned, it will probably be a 60 minute video because the bars are unending.

I am so glad you guys finally listened to Marlon Craft. I heard him for the first time almost two years ago. And right off the bat, I wondered almost angrily, why don’t the powers that be invest in artists like this? At least, from to time! Maybe it’s time to in invest in the next generation of Gil Scott-Heron protégés. Another excellent review. BTW, please review Marlon Craft’s newly released Gang Shit and Shithole.

Marlon has earned from me the kind of respect I had for some artists back when I didn't know what any rapper looked like and only knew them from their voice and their skill. I don't know if I can properly convey how much that means, but I hope that Marlon finds success and get his really big chance.
