"Phantom, look at the roof you can stargaze". The ceiling of a Rolls Royce Phantom has the option of having hundreds of different size LEDs embedded in the fabric which give an effect of looking at the stars. A surprising number of them actually have that option selected. They obviously know about it.

Wtf!? Handful of these lines are masterclass in terms of rhyme structure, multi-syllabic cadence, and delivery.

[@harrydavey9884]

Multi-syllabic cadence doesn't make sense. Cadence is rhythmic delivery, it's nothing to do with syllables rhyming. That would tie in with "rhyme structure".

[@KakkaRotSRL]

I was wondering for a long time if they had ghost writers... then it hit me They're classically trained old British men with an interest in gangsta rap. When you think about it, it makes perfect sense their bars are absolute fire. They learned the classic and are really old and thus very good at English poetry, and they're making gagsta rap. It's wild at first, but then you think about it and go "oh fuck", also keep in mind they're old af and have a lot of life experience

[@ChineseKiwi]

@@KakkaRotSRL Yep, and they aren't the first classically trained rappers. Here's one who you might kinda know: Tupac. Classically trained musicians carve it up in other genres too, MANY electronic music artists are classically trained.

Pete's fourth verse (hop skip and a jump....) Is unironically one of my favourite rap verses right now. Like what that shit is so cold

[@Jamison1888]

That verse fucking slaps bro!

[@j0fiz986]

“I made it through the dark days, phantom, looking at the roof you can stargaze” Now I know the first reference in this is the roof of the rolls Royce phantom which has stars on it. But there’s another reference here. Phantom as is Phantom of the opera. He’s a disfigured musical genius who is not taken seriously because of his appearance. Bas was not taken seriously because of his age. Someone playing the role of the phantom gets to go on stage in prestigious theatres in an amphitheater and when they look up at the roof, they see celebrities watching them. Stars! This is by far the coldest damn line. There is not other rapper who are able to add this detail into lyrics. I mean ever. Honestly

I AM SO GLAD they are giving us a glimpse of their writing process (Pause @1:40). Here they are, at the mansion, sipping on wine, breaking bread and cheese, "constructing" lyrics! They are WRITERS, not freestylers. You can see that each verse is like a business decision. This explains their cohesion. People be like "Who is their ghostwriter? They couldn't possibly write their own lyrics!" Both are educated and have seen a lot. Bas is a professional musician, music teacher, and writer by trade who can play SEVERAL instruments, and you give them ALL of the time in the world to sit and write rap verses? Maaan...
