Pete & Bas - T-Pain | American Hip Hop Head REACTION - IS THIS FOR REAL? Can I Find Proof ??

[@msliddy9744]

Pete and Bas are definitely not a gimmick. I'm a big fan and find them to be better than most young rappers today.

[@1973miniclubman]

Facts

[@rodneygillard5136]

YEP, real lyrics,RESPECT BRO

[@AllTheHandlesTaken]

Agreed. Just because there is novelty doesn't mean it's a gimmick.

[@JamesBond-ib9tq]

They are very refreshing with extremely intelligent and clever lyrics and puns with societal references all over the place that’s missing today in rap.

[@davidjonmiller8193]

@@msliddy9744 super authentic

[@richardweekes9130]

SO YOU LOVE BARS? WELCOME TO THE PETE AND BAS WORDSMITH WELL They have put out over 30 bangers in SEVEN YEARS. An album, 'Quick Little Mixtape', and two sold-out live UK tours. These two ex-gangsters deliver the lot, bars, schemes, cadences, and timing with charisma and swagger that's unmatched. Together with the world class productions by their grandsons, 91Shots and Handsome Dexter, who also have started rapping as Nine and Dex, this whole project is unstoppable! Start with..... 'Sindhu Sesh' 'Longthorne Shotgun' 'Plugged-in with Fumez the Engineer' (FUMES, as in smell) 'Gangster Sh*t' 'Browns' 'Bish Bash Bosh' 'Mr Worldwide' 'Stepped Into The Building' 'Quick 1-2' 'The Gentlemen' and the rest all the way back to the beginning are monsters, and all different. Masters 🐐 🐐

[@ponego2821]

Need to check out this list well picked to get you down the pete and bas rabbit hole

[@JiggyHimmins]

Couldn't have said it better

[@ethnicalbert]

they are dope! but THEY ARE NOT EX GANGSTERS FFS. Literally no one even said they were apart from youtube comments section.

[@TheOnyxSpy]

​@@ethnicalbertYeah, but Pete and Bas are a bit quiet and reserved about their past, other than the song Golf where Pete gives you a timeline of gang activity he was affiliated with. So maybe you're just wrong and a hater 🤷🏻

[@dodong4806]

You know ball 🫱🏿‍🫲🏾

[@henrikjohansen7324]

They literally just dropped a new remix with T-pain a few minutes ago .... containing a few new verses.

[@keenanmonnett234]

Yes please check that out and react❤

[@JimmyCrohnsWanker]

turn im into an headstone, call me medusa.... fucking new bars eh

[@magnetsoldiercephas331]

T-Pain a real one

[@VirtualCockpitChronicles]

The only thing that comes close to the feeling of first hearing Pete and Bas is watching others experience it. It’s so hard to find new genuine first time reactions so finding this today is awesome. You’re going to love all of it. Every suggestion I’ve read on hear would be a great place to start… enjoy my man, I’m subbed and looking forward to more of your content

Truth!

true, credit to him for not cutting that intro out. man ate his words lol.

[@VivienneEvans-m5r]

Hahaha! I actually lol'ed at this comment - EXACTLY! 😂

[@agentbaldy7]

This is a quality reaction video, you done exactly what you said and called it for what it was! You are in for a right treat, The boys don’t miss and the production is class!!

[@JimmyCrohnsWanker]

91shots beats are real sick, he can do mad different styles. obviously the mandems can rap

[@hermes_job_observer144]

I'm an older hip-hop head myself since '83, and i love introducing Pete & Bas to my unsuspecting friends. They're legit! That's coming from someone who's favorite mcs include Del, Kool Keith, Black Thought, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Planer Asia, Madchild, Heiroglyphics, Swollen Members, Big Pun, Pharoah Monch, Living Legends, Freestyle Fellowship, Schooly D, Ultramagnetic MC's, Stetsasonic, etc. If you want more dope songs with great bars and back and forth, which is almost every song by them, then i recommend: "Gangsta Sh*t," "Longthorne Shotgun," "Stepped into the Building," "Mr. Worldwide," "Bish, Bash, Bosh," "Sendu Sesh," "Plugged in w/ Fumez," "Pint & a F*g," "The Old Estate," "Lightwork Freestyle," "Quick 1-2," "," and "Get Low." These are all found on different channels, so i compiled the definite best of here. Loved the reaction and can't wait to see more reactions to these genius mcs! Peace.

[@marcelmcclease2725]

This is my new favorite Pete & Bas Reaction. You just got a new sub. I respect your skepticism, and I like your style. This is coming from a 56 year-old hip-hop, reggae, ska, punk, rock afficionado. I will be checking out more of your channel.

[@JLS12041969]

I'm a huge fan. I went to London to see them live a couple months ago. They're amazing. Their little gang was there with them. They signed autographs afterward, then walked down the block to the pub to party with the crowd. I carried a sign that said "I came all the way from Texas to see you." Pete threw me his pink tie and then signed it for me after the show. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@aftonair]

Wow. I genuinely felt like an envious Beatles fan hearing that story. These gentlemen are exceptional. They were made for this.

[@benwall9251]

Defo not a gimmick mate, they are the real deal.

[@cullain3967]

These old boys are Cockneys, South Londoners who commonly rhyme in normal conversation, it's called Cockney Rhyming Slang and was developed in the early 19th century to avoid police attention. Pete was a Royal Mail worker in his day but apparently also ran as a toecutter with the Richardson Mob in London, Bas was a piano teacher and musician and is from a family that ran illegal bare-knuckle boxing tournaments... There are also live performances available, if you go back to their very early stuff you'll notice the difference and the improvement over the 7 years they've been releasing tracks...

[@piotrjeske4599]

Cockney Rhyming is at least 250 years it has roots in XVIIIth century "bandit" songs.

[@flawedgenius]

Cockneys come from East London not South, specifically gotta be born within the area that can hear the Bow bells

[@spoobini]

Tell-a-Husse = Tallahasse. T-pain bars Kofte = Fancy lamb dish. The snap of his fingers fancy food is delivered Wap = British gun slang, basically "piece/thang" (occasionally means "wet ass pussy", use context) Food = Commonly traded illicit substances, implied to be the gentleman's choice of drug, coke. Back = the part of the human body that is behind the face, chest, and front torso respectively. Butt Crack = Refering to the "Intergluteal cleft". Indirectly proportionate to the aforementioned "Back" as stated by Bas

[@cloveless18]

Thank you!!! I knew hussy meant sumpin. They don't use random words😂

[@rufustdangleberry5127]

Sounds like T-Pain is from Tallahassee and Pete is calling his mama a talla hussey coz she's hustling to buy Pete's goods.

[@RockShoxLoon]

Hussy noun DEROGATORY•INFORMAL a girl or woman who behaves in a disrespectful or inappropriate way or who has many casual sexual relationships. "that brazen little hussy!"

[@PeterScottBurridge]

They've on European Tour right now. I see them in Braunschweige 🇩🇪 Next week. Big Up Uk. 🔥🇬🇧

[@PeterScottBurridge]

🔥🇬🇧

[@cloveless18]

Go to the after party if one is advertised. They WILL be there taking pics, etc. Nice dudes. Bring a sharpie, talent always forgets to bring one😂

[@abeining]

I saw them Yesterday in Oslo, Norway. Was loads of fun, but poor Pete seemed to run out of steam in the one hour show. They were definitely rapping, though had their own recorded vocals in the background.

[@markusjentzsch7932]

Usual Rapper: grows up save in the subburbs, starts rapping and then tries everything to become something like a "gangsta". Pete&Bas live a life kinda like a gangsta all along and THEN decide to rap about it. And that better than 90% of the young dudes. Now, who's the gimmick?

[@kristibrown5899]

Bish Bash Bosh, Sindu Sesh, Stepped Into the Building. 3 more of my faves. Your reaction to T-Pain, is my favorite so far!❤ EDIT: Had to come back and add Longthorn Shotgun. Impeccable flow, and fire bars.

[@keenanmonnett234]

Yes!

[@chantelvenessa]

Best reaction!

[@davidjonmiller8193]

I just found these guys maybe 48 hours ago they are some of the sickest bar holders I know!

[@darkmatter6714]

They co-write with their grandsons, Nine and Dex. UK rappers are different 😂 BTW - they were real life gangsters too!

[@aftonair]

Bas's family ran an underground bare knuckle boxing ring in the South of London.

[@twylotwo]

I am a fan of P&B and saw them live in March this year 2024. I would say there is novelty value here but definitely not a gimmick. If you want to know if they are respected then they are, check out 'the coldest link up 2' where they perform and quite honestly match or out perform the rest of the rappers on the track. Bas is a pianist so has musical talent and has just turned his hand to this almost effortlessly. Pete has the aggression and has a knack for the lingo and gets better and better each time they drop. Enjoy. Oh here's a clip of them at The Troxy in London. I then put my phone away and enjoyed the rest of the concert. Super vibes and the crowd were so nice. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4aYfYWsoraribssi=pQEdCnQSLVbb7ZQ3

[@amyf9835]

😊 had a great time. Love and respect to Pete and Bas for doing what they want. Great reaction Jared

[@thetalantonx]

16:37 - "with me tats out" is a triple, tattoos/cheap goods for sale/so then product for sale. It's also a contrast between Pete's boxing skills and Bas bringing the tools when he revisits the bar.

[@kb104]

Loved your face when they started the flow, been on a huge Pete and Bas session lately. A good next step with them would be Sindu sesh, Mr Worldwide, Longthorne shotgun

[@BadBoyV1]

same lol

[@chantelvenessa]

Loved this reaction! I knew you were going to love them. I've subscribed as I want to witness your deep dive. My faves are Golf, Sindu Sesh, Plugged In with Fumes, Stepped into the Building, Quick Lil freestyle, Mr Worldwide There are so many. Can't wait

[@Murry20]

All of their songs are great! Loved your reaction. I'd say " Bish Bash Bosh" came out just before this one. That would be fun to see you react to. Also, they aren't the only ones! They have "Windowframe Cypher 1&2" with more older gentlemen rapping with them! 😄😄

[@michaelphipps8647]

Speaking of "Gangster Sh¡t" they have a Banger by the same name!

[@dannyspeer8459]

Bro you got so many tunes to find from these 2 and I promise you one thing you will never be disappointed

[@hermes_job_observer144]

I think you'd really appreciate their tracks, "Gangsta Sh*t," "Longthorne Shotgun," "Mr. Worldwide," and "Pint & a F*g." All are pure 🔥! Their back and forths are some of the best I've heard, and their bars are cold af, period! 😎🥶

You’re a great reactor and honest. New sub here. Pete and Bas are legit OGs

This is one of the most enjoyable reactions I’ve seen in a while. I appreciate your genuine reactions and the lack of over the top physical actions and outrageous yelling. You got yourself a new subscriber.

Pete and Bas are on tour right now. You can basically pick and random song they’ve made and it’s gonna be a banger. They don’t miss.

[@truckinleprechaunscottcask9747]

Welcome to Pete and Bass! A rabbit hole well worth going down. Glad to see you've opened yourself up to these guys. I've been listening to rap since the '80's. This is some great shit! Better than most of the stuff in the US by far.

[@spamhands]

Loved the prologue, knew after that that you'd love this. These guys go hard every time and they've only got better over the years

[@MattDozler]

I'm not going to lie; this is my first time seeing you and I just paused 4:55 into your video because I think your introduction was legit. I hate long introductions, so you were lucky to make it that far. I subscribed before seeing your reaction. I love seeing people's reactions to artists I like, but I want it to be genuine. You seem no nonsense. Please don't disappoint.

[@MattDozler]

Alright, man; I was impressed by your breakdown, but I wish you would have given one listen, then all the pauses and breakdown. I'll watch another.

[@shownotfound]

I was 'like' number 1200 on this video (to give some context). I have to say, I've watched a LOT of Pete and Bas reactions, and yours is one of the better reactions I've seen. About 15 seconds after Pete comes in, your eyes get a little big, maybe a little bit of a confused expression.. You turn up the headphones. The head starts bobbing, with or without your permission and an almost giddy smile crosses your face. Genuine AF. Welcome to Pete & Bas. Amazing reaction, keep it up!

[@brentbeach7380]

From what I've learned in my P&B rabbit hole, they've had some help with a couple of grandkids. I'm not saying the grandkids wrote everything by any means. I wasn't there. But based off their own words, one of Pete's grandkids actually got him liking the hip hop they were listening to. He then convinced Bas to join him in this music venture. Now, it's should go without saying that old folks wouldn't be hip to modern slang that younger artist. But, they say that they provide the words, and they have some grandkids that provide beats. Now, I'm a firm believer that they had help at least at the begining of their rap career with keeping the slang current. But even if that don't write any of the lyrics, the fact that they can deliver the words with flawless execution and many flow switches is enough for me to respect these guys. I love it. And as a musician most of my life, I can't think of any better way for these to guys to spend their golden years...Living it up as fucking rock stars.

[@MarcstaR321]

This might be my favorite reaction. I love the apprehension in the beginning, turning into appreciation. I felt the same way…

[@PrettyKiKi1981]

I've subbed for more! Fire reaction 🔥 Pete and Bas - Stepped into the building is LIT ❤

[@michaelphipps8647]

#Renagades The Original OG's!!! No gimmick, all their songs hit!

The only thing better than listening to Pete & Bas is watching other people discover Pete & Bas.

I’m going to see them live 10th November, they’re on tour at the moment. Tell a hussie is reference to Tpain coming from Tallahassee

[@JED4prez]

They just released a remix FT TPain with a new verse by them Today. They mix modern and old slang. They ahve a whole group of old men rappers with legit experience in the underworld (most of them)

It was 🔥too💜

​@benttl77 when pete came in on the remix with the new verse he initiated my stank face

[@bockerwright4132]

The whole video I was thinking are you gonna drink that Guiness or not? 😂

[@zippy4109]

Welcome to the rabbit hole. I'm convinced these two are the best lyricists in the game right now. Quick 1-2, Bish Bash Bosh, and Sindhu Sesh are my favorites for just non stop bars.

[@arthunter92]

Bow Bells are the bells of a church in East London. If you are born within the sound of these bells you’re considered to be a Cockney, a true East Ender…

[@benwall9251]

I would to see an extended video of you going down the Pete and Bas rabbit hole dating back to 2018.

[@culloden1745]

Nice to hear someone so honest about hip hop and watching you appreciate all those bars. So many miss them Start with Sindhu Sesh then Plugged in with Fumez.

[@natewolfe4343]

Nice reaction!!! I was skeptical at first too but their delivery is so smooth and their bars are immaculate. I had to look up a bunch of UK slang but now I get it. Most of their songs are produced by 91 Shots, which is one of their grandkids, who also have their own group Nine and Dex (91 Shots & Handsome Dexter). Dex’s voice sounds so similar to Bas it’s great. Btw Pete is the short one, Bas (short for Basil) is the tall one. For bars: check out “Sindhu Sesh” & “Plugged in with Fumez” For insane Bas flow check out: “Old Estate” & “Golf” A couple of my favorites for flow and lyrics that don’t get mentioned very often but are amazing are “General’s Corner Freestyle” and “Browns” Also to hear them rap with a bunch of other old dudes check out “Window Frame Cyper” - there are two songs, “part 1” and “part 2” There are a bunch of other great songs too… welcome to the rabbit hole…

[@DaProlifik1]

Coming from a Detroit area old school hip-hop head, these dude dont miss. Everything is fire. Even their mid songs are miles ahead of pop rap. True gangsta rap, with super clever schemes, and NEVER corny.

[@davidstraghan916]

Got your channel recommended to me by KZbin. Just gonna say this once and only once,..... Thankyou KZbin algorithm. You got something right for once. Great reaction. Love the honesty. Thanks.

[@davidstraghan916]

Also I subscribed.

[@errolmc]

Nice reaction ❤‍🔥 Welcome to the rabbit hole that's Pete & Bas. Old G's deserve the respect, simple. I prefer some of their older stuff: "Quick Little Freestyle"; "Lightwork Freestyle"; "The Old Estate"; "Plugged In"; "Bermondsey"; "Mr Worldwide" etc. 👍🏽

[@tommoore2856]

When you get through the Pete and Bas catalogue or if you wanna mix it up, check out an Indian rapper who grew up in Houston named Hanumankind.. his big song is Big Dawgs and it's a banger and immediately in the play list. But you would fucking love his track Genghis..

[@carlakane3313]

This 👆

[@shayxie8318]

their video Gangster Sh** is a FANTASTIC place to start!

[@shayxie8318]

their Plugged In with Fumez The Engineer is outstanding too though.

[@markbrads2006]

I really thought you were on point with this video over the others on KZbin 😊. I've subscribed, so keep up the good work and listen to 😊

[@F0RTY4]

Awesome reaction - maybe you missed this one "Tell A Hussy" = "Tallahassee" where Tpain originally came from.

[@crystalscolza1663]

I heard your doubt in the beginning but I knew you would not be disappointed

[@tobiasbain9571]

Bro they have live performances 👊

[@AnthonyRoumo]

Brother, I was just like you. I was like what no way . I’ve been listening to their music nonstop for the past month. These Dudes are for real. They got bars punchlines delivery flow. Bro they’re fucking wicked and I would pay money to see a live show.

[@cema5123]

We the people think Pete and Bas Bars on bars are 🔥🔥🔥🔥 they got fans out ere

[@Brianstr2]

I've been hoping that you would check these guys out. They have all bangers. So many doubles,metaphors, crazy flows,schemes they rap rap. They are very bar heavy. They have live performances on here as well. They do tour Longthorne Shotgun Bish Bash Bosh Stepped into the Building Sindhu Sesh Plugged in with Fumes. Just started reaction. So hopefully I'm not deleting this post at the end of reaction.

[@Brianstr2]

The story is they write their lyrics but get the current terminology from grandkids, or nephews, some younger generation relative. I forget their names but they rap also and you can hear the relation with their voices. S sounds like listening to a younger Pete and Bas.

[@gable354]

New sub! Love these guys! Try "stepped into the building" and "Bish bash bosh"

[@bumbelb263]

6:05 This transition is amazing, that sigh, bro went from "why am I doing this? what am I doing with my life" to "hold up this is fire" in about 4 seconds

[@tomraymond9795]

Welcome to the Pete and Bas rabbithole! So many bangers, not sure where to steer you first! Mr Worldwide is a bop, stepped into the building is a must, their plugged in with Fumes the engineer session blew them up on the net a few years back and for good reason! Gangster shit, Longhorne Shotgun... just jump in my man, the water's nice! BTW, am seeing these live next month and I'm around your age and era, although from a UK perspective. I also checked out from US hip hop for a bit with mumble rap and autotune. These gents are really smashing it though by any standards! I even saw a reactor call for a collab with them and Coast Contra! 😂 Which would be amazing...

[@InsuranceSpecialist]

Your reaction mirrored mine exactly 💯 Straight up incongruous shock 😮 Bars like that? How they deliver like this????? Too on time, too...good. Sindu sesh blew my mind

[@vimfuego9738]

these 2 guys are on tour 100% legit

[@Markerman_642]

That’s a real reaction. I’m here usually just for Tom Macdonald. But serious respect to these two. They do sound good

[@thetalantonx]

20:31 - Yeah, the behind the scenes video with Fumez (said like fumes, paint fumes) the Engineer is a great interview. They also do perform live in the UK, with their producers 91 Shots and Handsome Dexter (who have their own music out now as the duo Nine and Dex.)

[@MoominDoogie]

I could be wrong but their producers, Nine and Dex, are also their grandsons?

[@thetalantonx]

@@MoominDoogie That's the lore at least, yeah. I try to be very careful in what I say, only posting what I've confirmed. The story is they are the grandsons that help with writing on top of being the producers and it's plausible since they do resemble each other, but I don't know that *for sure.* Like I know Pete and Bas use stage last names, and I've found Bas's full real name.

[@sheenadees2701]

It is always so fun to watch people's first experience with these 2.They blew me away my first time too😂😂😂

[@DonkeyScourge]

Apparently wap means weapon in england 😂

[@kishreef8294]

It’s funny watching you go through it because that was my exact reaction at first. If you like this one, you should definitely check Sindhu sesh and Pete and Bas with fumes the engineer. The bars are heavy in those !

It was so cool to watch your mind change in real time in Pete's first bar 😂
