MIKE - Beware of the Monkey (FULL ALBUM reaction!)

[@nosreklem]

From his clash magazine interview: “Not only the seventh song on ‘Beware Of The Monkey,’ Ipari Park is also a universe MIKE created. “It’s a 24/7 family reunion cookout kind of vibe. It’s definitely in Nigeria. Definitely has palm trees,” he elaborates. The musician first noticed the words “Ipari Park” on a sign while traveling in Budapest and was shocked to see a Yoruba word in the Hungarian capital. Since then, he’s brought his own personal meaning to Ipari Park”. After reading this and relistening i loved the project even more

thank you for this!! I also noticed his tour for this album is called Ipari Park

[@aaronc2044]

Was waiting for this one.. mike keeps getting better and better

[@Top5Troy]

yep! DISCO from 2021 was by far my fav album of his

[@aaronc2044]

Yeah Mike is from new york thats also where earl recorded most of his SRS album

[@Top5Troy]

SRS reeks of MIKE influence

[@malcolmnotinthemiddle]

Sister Nancy responsible for the infamous reggae hit "Bam Bam".

[@Top5Troy]

wow thats a dope look for MIKE

[@castoroilcastles]

jamaican classic

[@1978Blue]

Love the review. Only thing I would say is mike has no filler bars. You should consider pulling up genius just to get a better understanding. Mike writes with his heart. Sometimes the overuse of his flows can seem like he’s just trying to rhyme. But nah mike the real deal. The last 5 or so songs on this album is some of the best shit he ever wrote!

[@Top5Troy]

Fair enough!

[@mykealbellingham3437]

You're really knowledgeable i commend the luv you have for music as the expert. 💯

[@yungty7321]

That’s not mike on the end of eczema

[@KawakiUzumaki]

whats the lyrics for swoosh 23? the part where he says "Pray to D'Usse"

[@maxwellsamuel3255]

“Big tapestry” as in this universe is vast, the universe consists of many patterns like a tapestry. It kinda reminds me of Earls line where he says something like “I heard the tapestry is enormous”

[@curtisforshey5890]

Good content besides the fact you skip the end of songs

[@Top5Troy]

thanks! I try not to make the video TOO long

[@chadkndr]

check out war in my pen by him if you haven't already

[@spuvvvtacobell284]

I think you say it jah-dess-ah

[@Top5Troy]

thanks😂

[@matheusboetius5585]

Isnt it jay da sea?

[@stateportSound_wav]

@@matheusboetius5585 yes, this lol. Also, Pink see-foo. I initially scrolled down to say that was a sample, rather than Mike speaking! His voice is just as gravely and low speaking as it is rapping. Keep on making videos you truly care about, you got the most based channel 🔥

[@alexanderpinterscale289]

13:24 😂 ABSTRACT =not the typical musical canvas 98% of listeners love 😅you not built for MIKE

[@alexanderpinterscale289]

You are not equipped to do a review or even speak on MIKE music. You are not prepare to digest new wave lyricism, you don’t even know who Sister Nancy was lmao

[@Jason-bt1qm]

bro shut up

[@MutenRoshi300]

Shut your gate-keeping ass up bro 😂😂😂
