Ab-Soul - Gotta Rap (REACTION!)

[@emporeraizen1695]

Nah dude jumped off of an overpass last year, That "soul don't die" line was Insane. Appreciate yall checking this

[@bryantdegroot9269]

“Took a leap, shattered my leg, and lost some teeth and I'm still standing behind every word I speak” that line is crazy too. This songs incredible. Y’all gotta do “Good Man” and “FOMF” too

[@daminharris3879]

I hate Good Man because the producer beat me to using the sample 😮‍💨

[@kabuthakago6221]

To Shatter your legs and lose your teeth still stand on everything you say is Pretty Hard

[@2jzjesse]

Soulo just had to remind us why he's the best lyricist. "My guardian angel's name is Dough, I could never go broke" such a great line Rest in Peace Doughburger!

Herbert is some of Ab’s best work

[@failtolawl]

"definitely.. one of" wow really groundbreaking thought

[@davidmartinez9804]

💯 Glad to see him back and better than ever!

[@AndreiBerezin]

Maybe the best work of his

[@betomtz4400]

Fav songs of the album? I loved gotta rap and moonshooter

[@Britafitius]

As a lovely human who's been only been listening to Ab-Soul for 3 days and only had my toe in the hip-hop water for a few days..... "It be like that" had me on repeat for a few days.... Give it listen... Again.. as a mental health professional it resonated with me in many ways. Loved it 😘

[@anthonymaldonado4397]

Listen to Book of Soul and Lonely Soul. Two of his best songs and songs I think you would like as a mental health professional

[@TheK9class]

Welcome

[@harithmarzuqi]

Love when you guys explained the meanings/context/slangs of the lyrics. People outside America like me prolly wont able to catch them. Love from Malaysia

[@LucidMortal]

Bro I appreciate y’all so much cause no other big channel is reacting to any ab-soul new songs

[@chrismalinowski654]

Jon denton the only other one I’ve seen react to soul

[@pamfaris6206]

This was really good. First rule of good writing, write what you know. Ab Soul shared his truth with excellent lyrics. Absolutely glad he made it through his dark time and came out the other side. Another song for the playlist!

[@knowistrite]

Ab-Soul has a song called "Rush" off LTM2 and the video where lot of it was shot as him in the back seat of a car. Rolling through his city in a Rush was a call to that record and they were driving through Del Amo. University is a street in Carson. Also, the beginning of the song is a reference to a Kendrick Lamer record with Punch and Ab-Soul called "West Coast Wu-Tang" from the C4 mxitape back in the day.

[@supersaiyinkakashi8511]

Also feels like a callback to his opening lines on Track 2

[@SolidSnake240]

West Coast Wu Tang is so fire i used to play that track nonstop back in the day.

[@Josephr2211]

Oh shit! It is. Been a minute since I’ve listened to C4.

[@howtozar]

@@supersaiyinkakashi8511 ....And they couldn't wait for Soul to reappear - click boom, TNT , TDE, we in here...

[@Tmartinez114]

Yup!

[@debbiecostello6949]

I love the beat on this- jazzy, smooth and reflective of what he was saying. I absolutely agree with George! I want to hear real life, close to the heart lyrics. I want to experience what his life is about and how he feels. Ab Soul did a great job with this - so did Lost in Vegas!

[@calaabo]

Ab soul is way too underrated. He’s easily one of my top 5 rappers. His lyrics are so clever and he raps from a real place and isn’t afraid to show what he’s feeling. Super dope dude hope he gets through whatever he’s going through

[@agaleas76]

I took that mockingbird line “turn a 1 into a 2 that’s a mockingbird” as a reference to hunger games and how the last movie was separated into two parts

[@LicensedPoetics]

Good catch !

[@goodnessuche1430]

Best rap album, best produced song, best refined song of 2022 no cap. Absoul is really back. TDE!

[@CR00K__Gaming]

Just to clarify, he didn't think about committing suicide. He actually tried. Jumped off a bridge, shattered his leg and lost most of his teeth. He said it in the song and also in a recent interview. Dude has been in some dark recent years and I hope that he stays healthy.

[@Silent_prodigy97]

Watching from South Africa and got to say Lost In Vegas that your reactions (besides this one) gives us more insight especially if rappers reference something found in the state you guys are able to say " oh for those outside this means" I appreciate that and I appreciate your reactions.... Thank you so

[@RD-jr8nv]

Was not expecting that beat. Those chords are sooo nice. Love it

[@ThisisStephennn]

I'm 3 seconds in. I'm 40 years old. I love hip hop. I rap. Unironically. I've never heard ab soul. This is my first song. Ive heard of. But never heard. I listen to a lot of music. This artist has seemed to never enter my world until right now. Will return with a thought soon. Edit: I been asleep

[@ratanangjacque9851]

Can’t wait for them to do Goodman off Ab Souls album. Beat has George written all over it

[@colinryan4737]

Oswin Benjamin, Chris Rivers, and Denzil Porter put out an album early this year called “Apophenea”. Definitely worth a reaction to any song on there.

Abs 1st bar “backpack raps with gats in it don’t get ya capped peeled by the black menace” is actually something Kendrick said on a song of his C4 mixtape. I think the song was “west side wu tang” some like that but I wonder if there’s any connection with that

[@jbtheprophet]

Yeah that university line(and so many others lol) was tuff ! Ab is from Carson and there’s a college in Carson cal state Dominguez so university drive runs through the campus, that’s why he said I’m on university so much I should at least have an AA 💯

AA-12 is a shotgun as well. So he keeps that 🔫 with him

Album is beautiful please check out Do Better, Goodman and Fallacy 🔥

[@JozzeFinesse]

I agrees with the last bit about conspiracies, is hard to have genuine rap conversations with certain people without them bringing up soul selling and sacrifices and shit . Those people will never have any success in anything because the feel their world is already set out against them.

[@t-god2439]

I really wish that album cam out earlier this is one of the best albums I’ve heard all year even better than Kendricks imo

[@drippyfilms]

I agree. This project is a masterpiece. Album of the year for me.

[@Mithilan01]

I couldn't get into Ab-Soul with his previous albums for what ever reason but this one definitely made me a fan. So many great cuts, I love it! 🔥

[@rubyreduxx]

Really?! You tried “Long term Mentality” 1 &2 or even control system?

I have to agree with you. Could not get through a single Ab album until Herbert. Among my favourite albums

[@Dulla0811]

[@BensSoZen]

Ab-Soul's flow reminds me of dribbling a basketball, in a feelgood way, but his lyrics are on a level probably too high for the average listener to really penetrate.
