American Rapper FIRST time reaction to Pete & Bas - Sindhu Sesh + live performance

[@AustinDufraimont]

Pete is the short one, and Bas is pronounced 'Baz' just for future reference. You should watch interviews with them. Defiantly write their own stuff, their grand children help them with all the modern slang!

Bro, I'm in my 50's. I'm born and raised in Bklyn NY! I just came back from their show in Ireland. TRUST AND BELIEVE it's the real deal. I have the pics and footage to prove.

[@thetalantonx]

8:53 - This is not just instructions on making a drink, it's disposing of a body, chopping up the corpse, adding (quick)lime, etc. He starts the verse by establishing the 'breaking him down like steps on the back of the Crocker" (Betty Crocker, cake mix maker). He's creating the theme that he'll be speaking in double entendre about the business, whether with cooking/cakes or with weights/sticks (moving product, getting lit, waxing people off, moving weight in and out of the gym)

[@deanosaur808]

Is one glass enough though? I've not got any bodies I need to dispose yet, although the ex wife... 😝🤣

[@thetalantonx]

@@deanosaur808 It depends on the size of the glass, and how smelly the location can get. >.> But since it is quicklime and not, say hydrofluoric acid, glass will be fine.

[@Eclecktro]

Just to add someting minor: He actually says "like steps on the back of the box of the crock', I'll bet he ...." which sounds like Betty, nice wordplay there

[@Ludd439]

The bar about the Gin isn't just that he's also saying he's having a drink (celebrating) this bloke being buried. The rectangle box being a coffin. And it's goes from graphic 'all bruised and mangled, grim' to a casual line about pouring a drink. Such strong imagery you can almost see a gangster film playing out. Cutting from violent imagery to casual luxury. Fucking genius.

[@fruitlandgrizzly]

The battenberg him bar is so under appreciated and gets missed. "Mess with the cake and I'll Battenberg him" Battenberg is a type of cake made by cutting apart multiple cakes so mess with his money hell chop you up

[@thetalantonx]

It's even better than that. Ambulances in the UK have that same checkerboard pattern, so it's putting you in an ambulance by cutting you up and rearranging you.

[@Necron00b]

You can even say it's a triple...because battenburg can be broken into "Bat and berg him" so beat em with a bat then put them on ice.

[@thetalantonx]

@@Necron00b Sooooo friggin good.

[@ashleycole6280]

Don't forget that cake is "Cut" up and then "Wrapped" up

[@-Hann]

as well... bat and berg = batter and burgle

[@thetalantonx]

11:23 - There are layers here, almost everything is a double, if not a *triple.* "Burn rubber like I'm Michelin, five star food that I serve to them", Michelin tires, Michelin stars, food = drugs, but being involved in both the production and distribution side of the business "chef's hat on when I'm whippin in the kitchen and I switch suits like I'm Mr Ben" (Chef's hat as in cooking but also running the business, and he is involved with the production but then switches suits to go out and get involved with the street level stuff as quickly as Mr Ben) and then Bas picks up on the Mr Ben with 10/10... Ben 10?! He also makes a Gundam reference later in the joint. If you think that nothing is going over anyone's head, sorry bruv - it's going over yours.

[@TommiBrem]

There are enough old people references in there that I believe they are very, very involved in writing.

[@nobodyyouknow1549]

Studio version of that Plugged In With Fumez live performance is a must

[@seana2646]

Love it. Look at the audience in the live part, thats London, thats England. No media invented outrage or anger, no divide by skin colour. You ask how Ren can mix so many styles its in front of you right there. People of all ages, all colours enjoing being together & having fun.

If a person can flow in their 20s, then there's no reason a person can't rap in their 60s. They've lived 3 times the length of your average rapper. People question their skills because of their age, but to me it adds validity. Experience, wisdom, knowledge.

[@williamdrake6711]

They released their first single in 2017 with "Shut Ya Mouth". They recorded the song after Pete discovered his enjoyment for hip hop when his granddaughter was playing rap music on his car radio. He told Bas about it, and they decided that it would be good fun to issue it on KZbin. It was an immediate success and went viral, so they continued to create new music. They write their own lyrics...

"And I dream like Martin Luther, fall asleep to the sound of the Hoover Nightmare - Frederick Kruger" This is one of the bars that shows that whoever is writing this is around as old as they are. "I have a dream" like Martin Luther King Jr., but also Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the door establishing that he was going his own way and showing everyone in the game (religion) that there was a new way. "Fall asleep to the sound of the Hoover" - FBI assassinated MLK Jr, Hoover ran the FBI [Old people falling asleep to the sound of the Hoover/vacuum cleaner] "Nightmare - Frederick Kruger" - More of the sleep/nightmare bars, but goes back to the Dream like Martin Luther as Martin Luther (not King Jr)'s words were misused and his symbolism adopted by a nightmare. The sheer depth of historical, musical, cultural, and criminal knowledge suggests a long life. And being able to deliver the bars with conviction live suggests a personal connection to them.

[@MultiClassGeek]

When the bars need citations and footnotes, you know it’s the good stuff. Respect to you for the Deep Dive

[@thetalantonx]

@@MultiClassGeek My pleasure, I love helping people fall further down the Pete & Bas rabbit hole. I had never heard UK Drill until their Plugged in with Fumez and immediately I had to research. When Pete dropped the "one side of the family's Irish - tiochfaidh ar la if he's takin' the mick" bar I was hooked. Tiochfaidh ar la (sounding like chocky ar lah) is Gaelic for "Our day will come", and is associated with Sinn Fein and the IRA. RIP Bobby Sands.

[@MultiClassGeek]

@@thetalantonx And of course, it doubles up with "Mick", a derogatory term for the Irish. So the implied threat would be enacted if they insulted Pete's heritage, *or* if they got in the way of his business.

But do you know what 'Mr Ben' is? It's a cartoon from the 70s at latest I'd say, where the character goes in a magic costume shop, tries on a costume (like a spaceman suit) and then he's a real spaceman for the rest of the day. Next episode he might be a knight or cowboy etc

[@SideKickStudios]

So imagine all the talented rappers, B-boys, skaters etc, who were in their mid-to-late 20's, early 30's, back in 1980-1990. Today, they are seniors, 60-70 years old. Many of them still retain the talent, it'll come back with some practice. I don't know these two personally, but my money is on the fact that they were the talent of UK underground rap scene back in the 70's or 80's. The style, the flow.. You aren't born with it, this is practice and skill, honed over a long time.

[@deanosaur808]

There was no underground rap scene in the UK in the seventies, especially not with white guys 😂 The closest you'll get is Ian dury doing disco style rap "Reasons to Be Cheerful, Part 3" in 1979! Ian could be considered the oldest UK rapper if he was still alive (81) 😅🤣
