[@MusiciansAgainstDJs]

Some suggestions for your next hip hop reaction video Changes - 2Pac Paper Trail$ - Joey Bada$$ Black Skinhead - Kanye West Jesus Walks - Kanye West The Blacker The Berry - Kendrick Lamar How Much a Dollar Cost - Kendrick Lamar

[@swiftymcswift8506]

Pete Rock & CL Smooth "they reminisce over you" one of the all time classic hip-hop tracks should be done as a reaction video.

[@KardiFan2000]

O.C. - Time's Up Black Star - Thieves In The Night Gang Starr - Moment of Truth AZ - Rather Unique A Tribe Called Quest - 1nce Again De La Soul - Stakes Is High Pharcyde - Drop Outkast - Aquemini

[@brainwashed2390]

KardiFan2000 Aquemini a classic

[@TonyRedgrave1501]

Man, I love "Time's Up" but O.C. made a really great lyrical effort with "The Crow". That one would be something different from what these guys would expect from rap music.

[@AaronRudder]

Great list of lyrical hip-hop here. Props.

[@kothakid1572]

aquemini!!!!

[@OthellZethus]

Agreed on Times's Up by O.C. Really good pick.

[@MrGrifter123]

Do bone thugs n harmony reaction If you want a different style

[@joselevy2527]

Houston, Texas rappers of note: Geto Boys (group), Scarface (sometimes called your favorite rapper's favorite rapper), Bun B, UGK (group). If given the option, start with Scarface. A Google search would get you started since his catalogue is deep. Some of my personal favorites: (solo) my block never seen a man die, hand of the dead body, high powered, no problems, steer; (with the Geto Boys) g code, fist light of the day, Damn it feels good to be a gangsta, mind playin' tricks; (as a feature) sunshine to the rain (miri bin ari) hip hop (dj khaled), and anything with Jay Z.

[@grantd7545]

Def, Maxo Kream is another dope mc from Houston

[@nikk796]

React to Outkast - Aquemini

[@kothakid1572]

Nikhil Bhagat !!

[@juelz3451]

Theres a LOT of different genres of rap and i hope you guys do more videos and experience the differences and hopefully you can appreciate it more

[@mightymorphinetime]

You guys are some of the most respectable dudes on youtube ! Your approach to new music and culture with such open-mindedness is dope. I like how in depth your guys are when reviewing the music too, you guys have good insight

[@randyh.7782]

*RDO* and *Grimby* I love your videos. You two are doing a great job of giving your honest opinions on hip-hop so far. I should've left a question for you two previously. If I could make a recommendation for a song to be reviewed, I would ask you guys to please review *U.N.I.T.Y.* which is a track by *Queen Latifah* from back in 1993.

[@randyh.7782]

*Stereotypical J Cole Fan* Oh most definitely.

[@hd331]

Thanks for answering our questions! Really enjoying the videos and keep up the good work! \.../ Stay Metal \.../

[@D3PTH27]

Cage - Agent Orange Aesop Rock - Blood Sandwich Childish Gambino - 3005 Prodigy - Keep it Thoro Black Rob - Whoa! Souls Of Mischief - 93 'til infinity Lost Boyz - Renee Keith Murray - The most beautifullest thing in this world

[@menudo666]

Good video guys. As a person into many genres of extreme music including metal and punk in-proportionately Hip-Hop I beg you to please check out Death Grips. Industrial hip hop hardcore

[@menudo666]

Oh yeah, PE Fight the Power..

[@dillonkramer8064]

fuck yeah Death Grips, Clipping too

[@LedPESRule]

Great stuff, lol, as a metalhead who listens to rap and other genres too it's fun to see your reactions, and even discovering some of these rap songs at the same time as you. You could do *Dr Dre - Let Me Ride* if you want another chill old-school classic

[@particalsayian6621]

Please keep doing your videos the way you do them. I'll keep watching them because they are AWESOME!

[@themightyfp]

Honestly I’m a HIPHOP head and I’ve been doing reaction vids and so far I’ve had a great experience with METAL HEADS they have very informative for the most part. I do enjoy your videos. Thanks for the motivation.

[@MaTTisTheGR8EST]

Outkast- Aquemini

[@kothakid1572]

Matt P ^^^^^

[@bigpeeks4764]

this is exactly what the fuck they need to do

[@mitchellcumsteen9220]

That's what I'm saying!! Best hip hop album ever in my opinion (besides Illmatic).

[@THISISLolesh]

2PAC - DEAR MAMA

[@solomonthell7589]

D K9 no.

[@THISISLolesh]

Mind your own.

[@johnnys7875]

You must be happy now

[@THISISLolesh]

i got dear mama and n.y state of mind bro very happy

[@jayant4742]

A Tribe Called Quest - Scenario

[@benjaminjosephholmes1062]

Aquemini- OutKast Yonkers (do the album version because it is longer)- Tyler the creator Chum- earl sweatshirt Notorious thugs- big ft bones thugs All caps- madvillain The next episode- dr Dre

[@kothakid1572]

Im on Cocaine aquemini!

[@SebOutdoors]

Good show, I've liked your comments throughout the series, so thank you for that. Some suggestions for artists and tracks could be: Common - "Love is..." Gangstarr - "Zonin" Mobb Deep - "Up North Trip" In my opinion these are some of the best tracks in hiphop and tracks that draws inspiration from the 90's boom bap era (Mobb Deep was part of this era), jazz and jazzhop as well.

[@justinstuart9109]

Thanks for this Q&A video. It's nice to see you guys a bit more relaxed and chatty. Keep up the good work!

[@ParadiseIslandDun]

its crazy how much Metalhead Reaction to Hip Hop videos im seeing now after you guys.

[@MrRapfanatik]

The first 10 minutes I understand everything... The Metal part though.... nothing. Crazy.

[@nicholasromig5506]

that last Vektor album was sick as hell, I wonder if he'll ever get another band together under that name.

[@cranktankerous]

had a good time listening to this. could hear the passion you guys have for music when you spoke about metal. really cool stuff, hope to see some metal reactions in the future. shoutout to vektor, whom you guys mentioned briefly. was recently introduced to them and haven't been able to stop listening.

[@HankHillC3H8]

RDO picks Maiden, Grimby picks Priest and the video has Priest font in the back and RDO's got a Maiden shirt on. Perfect haha. And yes Firepower is a great album.

[@MetalbyteMedia]

Cool observation dude, it was not deliberate on our part. Cheers!

[@shawnboland8533]

Thanks for the videos fellas. Really enjoyed this an as always cant wait for tha next one. Keep havin fun an makin great content!

[@Edit12332]

Great stuff guys. Can't wait to see new reactions! Keep it up. :)

[@Jason-ft9gg]

I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest hip hop fan (at least not anymore). But you guys make these videos worth it. I'm not sure if there's a strong "metalhead react to hip hop" community but you guys are like the "lost in vegas" of this community. Yes, that's a compliment.

[@Turtl289]

the crack about dream theater fans. daaaamn that's great hahaha

[@pauljackson1456]

You guys are awesome. I wish you'd put out videos more frequently.

[@kyleeaddy967]

Hey RDO and Grimby, I've been watching your reaction videos to much joy. Thanks to the two of you to doing this series. I recommend these two songs for the purpose of musicality and the changing of beats. The first is Public Enemy- Welcome To The Terrordome. There are so many samples in this song, it's crazy. The second is Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth-They Reminisce Over Use You. It's a beautiful jazzy number with hard drums, and very retrospective, storytelling lyrics. These are different from anything other people have recommended. Enjoy!

[@franknitti100]

Geto Boys "My Mind Is Playing Tricks On Me"

[@sireelite6827]

Big L - 98 Freestyle next.

[@joezic]

my first metal band was soad back when i was in 8th grade in 2009

[@ralphsevere3311]

New fan since a couple of weeks, big hip hop fan, love the concept. Please react to: Big Pun and Fat Joe (Twinz) Big L (Devil's son) Tupac (Holler if you hear me) Eazy-E (Boyz n da hood) Krs-One (Step into a world) Redman (Yesh Yesh y'all) Eminem (8 mile road) not lose yourself! Got too many songs but that's what's coming into my mind for now! Much love from Montreal, Canada

[@MaeloLambo]

I really enjoy what you guys are doing. Great work guys. Very fun and interesting to watch. Has anyone recommended some old LL Cool J / Rick Rubin stuff?

[@terminal2881]

Nice, thanks! I love Appetite for Destruction! My favorite rock album!

[@miconis123]

Thanks for taking my question and it's pronounced my-con-iss. It's an old nickname based on my real name of Mike..with numbers added obviously. I look forward to seeing metal reviews. I'm pretty out of touch with all the generes these days but I know what I like when I hear it so want to hear samples of lots of things.

[@les009]

React Big L - Lifestyles of the Poor and Dangerous Album

[@torbmain8628]

To hip hop heads Just listen to Judas Priest: Painkiller if you want to get into metal.

[@Mari000]

Big Pun “Beware”

[@Syncrecordings1]

Dude this channel fucking rocks. You guys are awesome.

[@kurtcostigan95]

Check out Run The Jewels. It would be considered heavy in a hip hop context.

[@buddylove3724]

Kanye West - All Falls Down

[@SleepFan771]

I'd love to see them react to Kanye West's Jesus Walks

[@timflanagan2219]

RealDeadOne cop killer by body count

[@rainfire9765]

J cole is the greatest rapper of this generation 2007-2018 and counting..he's in my profile pic. You should react to him.

[@furryinfernogt2379]

Rain Fire no tech 9 is better

[@aredobleyoum1562]

Love the answers! Agree on all accounts. BTW I said it was obvious between priest and maiden since your channel is named after an iron maiden release! Keep it up guys.

[@monaqvi1326]

J Cole is so corny lol. Kendrick shits on him in every way.

[@adamrobertorr9019]

jpeux pas attendre pour entendre quelle chanson vous sélectionnez ensuite 👌🏼 keep up the good work!

[@Sithman1776]

Great job guys! Very entertaining!

[@jonathanhicks5780]

Hoards of Dream Theater fans will attack you from the shadows! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@flameofanor8252]

There is a hip hop artist name Quasimodo.

[@-47-]

Quasimoto* he's a producer too

[@flameofanor8252]

The Pyronator right, he also kicks little verses here and there. Mainly produces for stone's throw.👍👍

[@mitchellcumsteen9220]

He's a very talented,(and interesting) fellow.

[@sammyshehole]

Was always more into hip hop all my life but when I heard the Norwegian metal band Emperor, that got me into metal and I’ve found some other great bands since. Emperor remains my favorite, though. In The Nightside Eclipse is perfection all the way through.

[@thomasjames7568]

Have you guys listened to the version of Bring The Noise that Public Enemy did with Anthrax?

[@CzarDawg]

Lol I found Lost in Vegas by watching your vids

[@Fillmore.Pockets]

Tech N9ne - Absolute Power Ice Cube & Dr. Dre - Natural Born Killer Busta Rhymes - Give Me Some More Method Man - Bring The Pain Ice T - New Jack Hustler Will Smith - Summer Time Ice Cube - Today Was a Good Day

[@mrbigdogofficial]

You guys are awesome! Please do NAS - Ether. Diss tracks are a big part of the hip-hop tradition and IMO Ether is the best of the bunch, closely followed by Eminem - The Warning and Ice Cube - King of the Hill. Cheers, and keep up the great content.

[@anoopchana4740]

Love your videos guys keep it up!!

[@AJ-cs3cx]

Great vids thus far, fellas. Can you react to Lord Finesse - Hip 2 Da Game?

[@Drewnonymous]

Hey guys my favorite Canadian thrash bands are Annihilator and Razor. Are there any others that you may recommend? Thanks!

[@mrsdarthstefeny]

Drewnonymous if you’re looking for another great Canadian metal band, check out 3 inches of blood. They don’t exist anymore but they’re one of my favorite Canadian metal band. Also Woods of Ypres. The lead singer, David Gold, passed a few years ago, but he had some of the best doom metal.

[@DarthGrimby]

Drewnonymous Sacrifice, Voivod. With your two, that’s probably our big 4 of Canadian Thrash.

[@Drewnonymous]

Darth Grimby thanks you guys, cheers!

[@dylanvieira9152]

Love you guys, thanks

[@rawloke8334]

Great video guys!

[@Benjieboy247]

Thanks for answering guys!

[@mavhunter8753]

React to MF Doom - Beef Rap

[@carlojacobo7776]

Mav Hunter I second this

[@chrism7091]

Mav Hunter at least MM..FOOD

[@kothakid1572]

They not ready

[@BadKnightLv01]

You guys should definitely check out Mobb Deep, they're honestly my favorite out of 90's NYC. The group consists of Prodigy and Havoc, actually Prodigy passed away last year so it would be cool to share their work to some new audiences and keep his legacy going.

[@aidanrezvani9295]

2pac - keep ya head up

[@Chocolatetorpedo]

You all should really do some reactions to some of Rakim's stuff in his prime (80s). It'll be listed under Eric B and Rakim (Eric B was the Dj, Rakim was the Mc). Rakim was a game changer. Without him, there's no Nas, Eminem, Wu Tang, Etc. Some songs by Eric and Rakim I'd recommend are: "Lyrics of Fury" , "Follow The Leader", "Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em", and "No Omega". Rakim introduced mutli-syllable rhymes, rhymes within rhymes, etc.

[@UptopPierre]

Tupac - Troublesome 96

[@Jaysun1]

Immortal Technique - "Dance with the Devil" one of the greatest story telling rap songs ever written.

[@elchupacabra2336]

Please do a song from Jay Electronica next (Exhibit C. , B (ft. Mos def), Shiny Suit Theory and Abrcadabra some of his best songs) But id recommend Exhibit C and B as it has lots of bars and verses

[@melo15813]

Lupe Fiasco - Adoration of Magi

[@XxKaosVikingxX]

One of the guys who asked a question early ons name was "Lord Quasimoto" This is a reference to an alter ego by hip hop producer/rapper Madlib. I recommend reacting to "Come on feet" by Quasimoto.

[@jdu8y4m]

You guys should listen to Anthrax/Public Enemy "Bring the Noise" remix

[@Fidelis1776]

HA!!! I came to this page just to bring that song to their attention!!!

[@ikarus8982]

RDO and Grimby sound like they would be great rap names.

[@ChuuuuCKie]

next please --> RA the Rugged Man ft. Jedi Mind Tricks - Uncommon Vailor

[@BigALXreviews]

The head bobbing lmao I had no issue because like RDO pointed out, Grimby does bob just a bit.

[@mrmorrison5142]

Dude I can't tell you how much I enjoy the fact you are open about your knowledge gap, it's refreshing dudes I'd like to suggest the following Lupe Fiasco - Put you on game Kendrick Lamar - RigamortisJay Z - American Dreaming

[@CranyumHipHop]

Favorite New Subscription. You guys are great. :)

[@50jem]

You guys should make a reaction video about Yelawolf!

[@certifiedkungfuguy]

React to Danny brown or Death Grips :)

[@benjaminjosephholmes1062]

Do you two like mushroomhead? (For the future q&as)

[@plantifulalexandra]

Yeah Codex Omega by Septicflesh, so good!

[@TheReviewSpace]

Especially the guy on the right, I'd love to see your reaction to 'SCOM' by Fort Minor. That one sampled GnR and I agree, Appetite is a hell of an album.

[@benjaminjosephholmes1062]

Were you two mad about the 3 hour prurient album too?

[@ramonsturdivant2551]

Aesop Rock - Daylight Atmosphere - Sunshine or Yesterday Outkast - Pretty much anything from Aquemini Pharcyde - Keep Passing Me By or Drop

[@hugopina4160]

If you want rap with great storytelling listen to the song dance with the devil by immortal technique

[@deadlydimitarr]

You guys really should check out more recent Hip Hop with top sub genres - also Akala's Freedom Lasso.

[@debodatta7398]

Eyyyyyyyyyyyy my fellow Canadians

[@J-Hz]

Hey keep it up guys. You guys seem really friendly

[@TheReviewSpace]

You guys have to react to rock rap (not rap metal/nu metal) but ROCK RAP. As in rap songs with a strong rock influence/sample/riff. I'm talking about Lady Venom by Swollen Members, Mutilate the Beat by Necro, SCOM by Fort Minor, and All Night by Fort Minor.

[@benbeard4256]

You guys should react to 2pac staring through my rear view and great videos dudes keep it up

[@DJ_Miclotek]

React to either Big L - lifestyle ov da poor and dangerous, immortal technique - you never know, Jedi mind tricks - uncommon valor (a Vietnam story), blu & exile - cold hearted, j Cole - dreams, army of the pharaohs - suicide girl, papoose - the cure, ras kass - reelishym All really good and really lyrically mastered Anthrax is my favorite of the big 4 they got me into metal... And sepultura and sarcofago...

[@mitchellcumsteen9220]

You guys have to listen to Outkast's Aquemini album! It was the most experimental hip hop album when it came out (1998). It really incorporated other genres of music into rap. Before that hip hop was mostly just beats made from old samples looped over & over with a kick & a snare & some bass added to it (except for Maybe the roots). Outkast took hip hop to outer space on Aquemini! Besides Illmatic I think it was the most influential album in rap history.

[@dansandu8136]

MOBB DEEP- SHOOK ONES

[@DKChubs]

Something else to consider: a "Boot Camp", for different styles of music. You speak on genre basics, tropes, and fundamentals; someone else (LiV or whoever, really) speaks on the same for their area of expertise. Let everyone get the FUNdamentals out of the way.

[@mynamesMihir]

“shut your j cole” lmaooooo

[@MenTaLisKing]

Love y'alls perspectives. There's a lot of artists though that I think would really shatter y'alls current perception of rap. One of the things I've heard yall mention quite a bit, this video included, is that you keep hearing the same ole dark subject matter brought up a lot. Check out artists like Chance The Rapper or J Cole and I think you'd really appreciate what they're talking about substantively On another note, There's also a lot of hip hop artists who actually take a lot of influence from Metal like Lil Peep, Flatbush Zombies and even Kanye West on his Yeezus album. The one thing I definitely hope to see from y'all in the future is reviews on newer artists. Aside from the Kendrick Lamar video, all your reviews have been songs that are all 20/30+ years old

[@tc2241]

Was about to give you shit for knocking Ghost, but you caught yourself lol

[@Duracell2]

Congratz on 25k subs! You must be doing something right! It's like walking your white friend through the hood... One step at a time. I'll sub and turn on my notifications for when you guys react to Lupe Fiasco - Murals Well actually that might be going too far right now. Maybe start at Daydreaming or Dumb it Down, take a break by doing a few videos reacting to different artists, then come back to it. Give it a few months, then dive in. Make sure you have your encyclopedia, calculator, thethorus, and bible handy because even Lyric Genius won't be able to save you. Heh heh heh... No one will...

[@Fidelis1776]

Hey guys, been going through your vids for the past few and am enoying the hell out of them. I know suggesting this song might be "cheating", but you should look up the "Bring the Noise" remix by Public Enemy and Anthrax. That might be right up your alley.

[@MetalbyteMedia]

C.S. Bailey Hey dude! As metalheads we know this one very well. We could do a summary but it wouldn't technically be a reaction. Thanks for your views and comment/suggestion!

[@gastonwalpole86]

Guys love these videos. Please please please do Big L - Ebonics. this song will teach you about the slang used in a lot of songs. Also Big L is probably the most lyrically gifted rapper of all time. cheers

Guys as a fan of Hip/hop and metal, i highly recommend reviewing Jedi Mind Tricks. Pretty much any song from the "Violent by Design" album. "I against I" is a great choice if you need a quick pick. You will really enjoy this music and it will be great content!

[@rtristan82]

Yes!
