Pete and Bas - Sindhu Sesh - Grading Scale Reacts

[@ramionx1]

The biggest thing everyone misses. pete opens up with," and I dream like martin Luther, fell asleep to the sound of the Hoover, nightmare"...then ends with black and white we can be brothers. Hoover was the CIA administrator that was alleged to have gotten MLK killed. There is a famous book called Hoover's Nightmare that talks about Hoover's life. And then MLKs dream was so we could get along. That is so insane to me man.

[@AlmostJokingPod]

Damn that's dope I didn't catch that either, good looking out 💯

[@ilesalmo7724]

There is even conspiracy-theory that FBI were installing speakers to hotel-rooms MLK was staying in order to subconsciously influence him, when he was sleeping giving even more meanings to the "nightmare"

[@wilez3219]

The sound of the Hoover is also the Hoover dam. That fish fall down. That is a nightmare and it ties into the sleeping with the fishes.

[@justaguy4792]

God it’s so crazy but they’re spitting rhymes that can not be topped. When you can tell a story behind an 8 or a 16 that makes you literally go back and put that shit together like my boy just did with the mlk thing.. who is really doing that? And on a consistent basis like these dudes.. they are a blessing and should have way more recognition. Thanks for putting them out there more guys!!

[@moustaphamoussabouh9985]

All these intricate references cannot be at random. Amazing breakdown btw

[@adrenalineunlimited]

That whole bas scheme was a triple about weightlifting, guns, and selling drugs all at once. He also has a triple in there about preparing a drink, cooking crack, and disposing a body, all in one line.

they write it all themselves. Only thing that someone else does for the lyrics is their grandkids helping them with newer slang.

That's also a reference to breaking down a body. Extended to the "grabbed the lime and chopped it up" meaning chopping the body up, using lye (lime) to break down the parts.

Americans never get the kipling reference that ties the cakes bar with the home invasion/ kidnapping bar. Mr kipling is a cake company in the UK and Rudyard Kipling's son disappeared, inspiring the jungle book.

[@TheSniperWaffle]

Such a good line to go from battenberg to kipling. Also i've only seen one reaction get the Bas "Kissed" to Pete "the curb" line.

Nah the “Jewels on the wrist get hit with the drip like a Christian Christening” is a 🔥 bar that gets looked over

[@hag8752]

Jesus Christ 🙏

[@tokyobassist]

They effortlessly have double and triple meanings to damn near every bar while keeping schemes. Bas explaining and flowing the steps of the recipe about murking someone WHILE tying the cake scheme all the way later with the Battenburg line (a type of cake and pattern on UK ambulances) is wild. The opening is insane too. It's a lot to unpack in one listen without several listens and pauses.

[@iiitzHimmy]

I spit my drink out when you called Bas Dangerous Dan Spivey 😂

If you decide to go for another Pete & Bas song, try Golf. Turns out, it ain't just these two.

I like your reactions 👍 just a tip for you guys when you pause your video you need to run it back 5 to 10seconds before you play it again. Its better for the viewers and also you guys so you and us dont miss any of the song

[@adrenalineunlimited]

They barred to hell. Dream like Martin luther, fall asleep to the sound of the hoover, nightmare frederick krueger, sleep with the fishes now he's tuna That's j edgar hoover, a vacuum, and uk gun slang. Think about what he's saying here. He's saying that he has the idealistic dreams like dr. king, that that's what he falls asleep to, the sound of the vacuum, the thoughts of dr. king, but he's sleeping to a different kind of hoover than you'd see in a sitcom, the feds are corrupt and we're surrounded by people trying to kill us, turning that dream into a nightmare-- like the way Freddie finds his way into your dreams to corrupt them. All together he's saying that he dreams like dr. king, but because of the nightmare we all live in, if he gets caught sleeping he gets turned to tuna. I could not overstate how crazy good those lines are, man.

Great reaction. And since you mentioned Giggs, they were taking shots at Giggs in their track 'General's Corner'. If you want to check it out.

[@AlmostJokingPod]

Whaaaaaat? They be beefing with my boy Giggs? I gotta check that out!!

[@dnied8778]

If the transition of flow that I really liked when bass comes in and says he flipped the bird hit the curb and then Pete comes in and says he kissed the curb. It's that transition between the two is like the line doesn't break it melts the two verses together so well. When Beth said I'll go ten rounds and I won't stop until the Bell starts ringing and then Pete comes in and says ring a ling a ding ding, each one is finishing off the others first and they're doing it so well. I haven't found a reaction video yet that actually talks about this.

[@twite5462]

Him thinking people were clicking off cause they were old heads is hilarious for a Pete and bas reaction

[@CrunchyPaints]

pete is the one who would kidnap you and bas is the one who will pull out your teeth and feed you to the pigs 🤣

[@conrradotorres4653]

Pete was actually about that life since he did have ties to London gangs. Bas was actually locked up in HMP (Her Majesty's Prison) for a good amount of time. Don't make fun of an oldtimer who is still alive. Here in the US they would be called OGs.

[@porkflaps4717]

Pete and Bas are definitely Triple OG's...These guys are frigging LEGEND status!

[@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.

[@PScoolio]

Then there's the Martin Luther King scheme in the exact same verse, literally triple entendres.. crazy

[@toughtimes4paco]

The Krueger I think falls more into the nightmare / sleep bars with the "Fredrick Kruger" aka Freddie Kruger nightmare on elm street

[@selenacaemawr]

I think the point being made is that there is more than one reference they're playing with. They're masters at double and triple entendres. Wasn't Bas an English teacher too? His metaphors are deep. Really freaking smart. Freddie Kruger is the obvious reference, but if it also fits another thematic, then it's probably not a coincidence. ​@@toughtimes4paco

[@SirClarkus]

@@toughtimes4paco I dream like Martin Luther (MLK), fall asleep to the Hoover (J Edgar Hoover had MLK killed) Nightmare, Frederick Kruger (Hoover Nightmare was the name of the book that brought the MLK assassination to light), Sleeps with fishes now he's tuna (bringing the assassination theme back around)

I’ve been listening to these guys since they blew up a few years ago, and I honestly don’t know if they have ghostwriters or not, but they sound good and they can flow better than most. If you come back to these guys again, you should check out the Windowframe Cyphers, there’s two of them, and the second is probably better to react to but they’re both hilarious. It’s like they went to a retirement home and got all their old buddies on a track.
