FIRST TIME HEARING!!! Pete & Bas - Sindhu Sesh - Reaction

[@happysqWid]

That Battenberg line is insane. It's a checkered cake that you slice, and the checkered pattern on uk ambulances. These dudes drop double and triples effortlessly.

[@NoNumbersAfterName]

Yeah, "Mess with the cake and I'll Battenberg him"? Sliced, checkered pink and white, ambulance takes him away. Piece of cake for these guys.

[@markfirth7861]

Then the kipling line by Pete straight after.

[@dinglebertsamateurhour3309]

Also bat and burg (burglarize) him, so hit him with a bat and rob him

[@-Jester]

The Crocker line as well. Breaking them down like steps on the back of the crocker, Bet he take that. Betty Crocker is a line of pre-mixed ingredients for baking cakes. Just unreal intricacy.

This is one of the best first time Pete and Bas reactions I've seen! Usually people get so hung up on how they look that they don't even bother to pay attention to the bars. They also miss the multiple complex flow-switches. But you caught all of that. Kudos.

[@jamesfox2130]

and the slang that goes with it

[@disaffectedmale]

Legit Cockney wanka here. Had people telling me I talk too fast my whole life. We've had slang since before someone invented the word slang. It was originally used so you could talk about criminal activities within earshot of the Police and them to be unable understand what you're talking about. We've got slang for everything even numbers 5= A jacks 10 = A Tenner 20= A score 50 = A bullseye 100 = A Ton 500= A Monkey 1000= A Grand but you could also use large, 3000 is 3 large. We literally have slang for more or less everything. Old school London slang is now being replaced with a lot of Jamaican and Indian slang terms now but these two old geezers know whats up.

[@jonessabal8190]

You caught so many bars other people didn't. Pete and Bas are definitely GOATS. You can react to anything and be blown away.

[@davidhill9696]

being from the US, I just assumed the "crocker" term was a uk thing, mind blown on the betty crocker

[@Theunknownmoniker]

@@davidhill9696 He is the first person i've seen to get the betty crocker bar! Being from the UK its not really a thing here but seen a lot of Americans react & not catch it which is a surprise, admittedly is a subtle bar.

[@BGAbazor]

@@Theunknownmoniker It goes even deeper and I haven't seen anyone pick up on it yet. But not only is he referring to the step by step, but he starts the next like with "Bet he" and joins it to make it sound like "Betty".

[@Cylonatreides1975]

Just wanted to add in a few explanations to some very British references in their bars, 1. "The bouncer came out and he got weighed in" Weighed in means knocked out. 2. "Then I'm switch suits like I'm Mr Benn" Mr Benn was an 80's kids TV cartoon in the UK where the main character dressed up in different costumes in a costume shop. 3. "I dodged the case, so I flipped the bird" This means i didn't get prosecuted and didn't need to go to prison (Doing Bird). 4. "mess with the cake then I'll Battenberg him" Cake meaning drugs & Battenberg is a type of cake eaten with tea in the UK. 5. "dipped like a Rich Tea biscuit" Popular British biscuit (We do love our Biscuits). 6. "Knock Down Ginger" game played by kids in the UK where you knock at someone's door and leg it to wind them up. 7. "Box a man back like I'm munching jollof" Jollof is Nigerian Rice. 8. "Super Kings and a bottle of bourbon" Super Kings are very long Cigarettes sold in the UK. 9. "Let that rip when I'm whipping that German" German refers to a BMW Car. 10. "Flick of the wrist and I left him gurning" Gurning is a weird distorted facial expression (Just Google "Gurning" and look at Photos, You'll understand!) 11. "Just stepped out in a fresh Ben Sherman" Ben Sherman make Shirts. 12. "I was locked in an HMP" HMP is Her Majesty's Prison. 13. "Del Boy, Peckham, they recognise me" This refers to Del Boy the main character of at UK TV Show called Only Fools & Horses (Arguably the Best Sit Com we ever made). 14. "Then he'll get cemented, builder's site" Buried in a Building site. 15. "cone get split like Chevron" on UK motorways they sometimes have Chevron markers that tell you to stay 2 metres apart. 16. "Chavving his jewels" Chavving means Stealing. Hope this helps our American Cousins :P

That's the thing, people talk about ghostwriters, but you can't just pull shit like *that* out unless you've been around. Nine & Dex definitely have a hand in crafting their style, but at the very least, it's a very successful partnership between the kiddos and their gramps/uncles/whatever.

[@dsmith1888]

Every bar and verse is genius. I could go into specific detail on each bar, verse, schemes, beats etc but it'd take me hours to breakdown in it's entirety. And alot is just my interpretation. That opening verse has bars that have obvious meanings like "cats jumping like puma" "dream like Martin Luther"... As we know, the verse has a "sleep" scheme with "Dream" "Fall asleep" "Nightmare" "Sleep" in each bar. Now I could be way off thinking this, I've never read anyone mention it. But that opening verse also has a German/ww2 scheme. Let me explain. Luger - a German semi-automatic pistol used by German soldiers in ww2. Uber - Über is a German language word meaning over and above. Wi-fi - George Antheil, born to German immigrants in Trenton, New Jersey. In 1941, Antheil developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes in ww2 to synchronize frequency changes, referred to as frequency hopping, between the transmitter and receiver. It is one of the spread spectrum techniques that became widely used in modern telecommunications. Antheil's work helped with the creation of Wi-Fi. Puma - a German sports brand founded by Rudolf Dassler in 1948. He was a member of the Nazi party. Fall asleep to the sound of the Hoover - in ww2 when enemy planes were near and about to start dropping bombs. An air raid siren would alert people to take shelter. The siren sounded like an old hoover (vacuum cleaner). Fall asleep meaning dying to the sound of the siren (hoover) as bombs landed. Krueger - a German surname. Also Walter Kruger a Nazi SS General in ww2. Martin Luther - a 16th-century German monk and reformer whose efforts to reform the theology and practices of the Catholic Church launched the Protestant Reformation. Tuna - HMS Tuna (N94) was a T-class submarine of the Royal Navy during ww2. It was equipped with German-built engines. USS Tuna (SS-203) was a United States Navy Tambor-class submarine, serving in the Pacific during ww2. - now it's just my interpretation, and I could go into even more detail on the full sesh, alot that ive never heard anyone mention.

"THESE N****s is rappin!!!" What a reaction. Welcome to your new rabbit hole. Think about that this is THE BEST track they put out, and all other tracks are FIRE!! Pete is the short one, and Bas is pronounced like BAZ, as his name is Basil. I'm sure you've gotten a lot of suggestions. Go way back and work your way up if you want to see the progression of them getting better and better. When they do drill, they always reference, or borrow a line from a previous track, which is "Cha Cha step in the dance and slide, two hand on me hips and glide", is from the track Shuffle from this summer. Golf, Old Estate ft M24, Dents in a Puegot, Lightwork Freestyle, Bermondsey. The new releases this year in order were Browns, Mr Worldwide, Shuffle, Windowframe Cypher part 2, and this current one Sindhu Sesh

Your reaction was awesome and a joy to watch. It’s always so much fun watching someone discover Pete & Bas for the first time. (They were one of the few joys of the pandemic for me.) They’re even more impressive if you understand UK slang or pop culture. For example, Mr. Benn was a kids cartoon in the 70’s that featured a character who would change into various costumes inside his walk-in closet, then step out into whatever time period and/or location the costume suggested. I would recommend Mr. Worldwide, Shuffle, Old Estate, Golf and Plugged in with Fumez.

Someone on another video explained some of the British slang they use that just adds so much more depth to their bars that I simply miss out on as an American. Like the verse that starts with "One things for sure and two things for certain", later he says "mess with the cake and I'll battenberg him". Sooo... obviously he's talking about cake like it's money. But "Battenberg" is some sort of checkered looking British cake, and it's slang for the checkered pattern on their ambulances. SO much more than meets the eye going on here. The levels are ridiculous.

[@mimcduffee86]

Another one people tend to miss is in the "Burn that rubber like I'm Michelin, 5 star food that I dish to them, Chef's hat on when I'm whipping in the kitchen, Then I switch suits like I'm Mr Benn" lines. It goes from michelin tires, to michelin star restaurants, to making drugs in the "kitchen". Then it's all tied together even neater by the Mr Benn line saying that whatever needs doing, he'll do it.

Late reply but you are right, they were. Pete was a notorious South London gangster, associate of the Krays and on trial in 1998 for, you can guess. Bas was a money launderer and ran a.. bare knuckle fight club in his garden. Among other activities. Lads are legit.
