Quadeca - I Didn't Mean To Haunt You FIRST Reaction

[@Gabriel_Alex]

I still find the saddest line “tried to call but the dog runs away from me now” because of the whole “dogs can see spirits” thing. The dog was his only company but now it’s forgotten him and is scared of his presence

[@Definitionofill92]

Great catch, I did hear that but didn’t even think about it like that 👌🏾

[@natureplayer1980]

there's a super sick vid on his "Quadeca Exclusives" channel where he shows the actual session with Sunday Service Choir

[@Definitionofill92]

He’s him

Danny brown was rappin from the perspective of carbon monoxide

[@musthabe_]

Yup, the entire album is amazing and everything makes sense if you follow along with the lyrics. Quadeca went all out on this one.

[@Definitionofill92]

Wow! Honestly didn’t notice! Makes the song harder now 🤣

[@danielmcgrath680]

Will never get over a how a 20yo youtube rapper took 1 year to self produce a masterpiece, get Danny Brown & Sunday Service Choir on it, then perform at Coachella a year later. The musical glow up is fascinating. Great reaction too! This album gets better with every listen. I'll forever be greatful i found this artist, IDMTHY helped me in some pretty rough times. Earned a sub, keep killing it

[@Definitionofill92]

Thank you so much for checking out the video! Quadeca really worked his way up, extremely talented

[@will.amartinnn]

the memories we lost in translation has one of the more pure and beautiful moments if you watch his movie/music video for the full album, it’s filled with his own childhood videos (born yesterday does too) and it’s so sweet seeing all the happy memories he was channeling when making these songs

[@user-lz5ut8nb3p]

the sunday service feat was in fact not a sample, and there's video on his second channel recording their session

[@Definitionofill92]

Big props to Quad on that!

[@chrisj2546]

The static at the end is a call bak to a line in Knots "i Dont Fade To Black I Cut To Static"

[@TortoiseNo.3]

Tightrope

[@CycleOfJudges]

I don't wanna be the "aksually" type of knitpicky guy, lol. But that line will never make sense to me. Even in the concept or through the songs. There isn't even slightly a "cut to static" there is a FADE to static, which happens after a CUT to black. And I can't unknow that. Everytime I see someone mention this my brain starts spazzing.

[@EyesDontCry]

​@@CycleOfJudgesI mean the end kind of does cut to static, the music cuts out and then the static starts and slowly builds. If it was a fade to static, the static would be continuing from the music as the music is phased out and the static takes over, but the music quite literally cuts out and then the static starts all by itself, it doesn't fade in. The line is congruent with the album, and it makes sense in that he cut his life short, instead of having a "normal end" to his life as a movie normally ends fading to black, he cut his life short and now instead of it being black (him passing on) he is stuck in purgatory, a fuzzy in between of life and death like everything being static (static also visually being black and white but so fuzzy that the distinction isn't clear, further showing the in-between of his purgatory state representing that fuzzy mix between life and death) It fits perfectly as far as I'm concerned, I don't see how the line is nonsensical in any way.

[@quadecamashups]

I actually made a video essay relating born yesterday and the A24 movie A Ghost Story. Good on you for picking that up too

[@Definitionofill92]

Awesome! I love a good chunk of A24 movies, more recently “Iron Claw”

[@breezeoh]

you have the best vibe bro

[@Definitionofill92]

Love to hear this! Thank you for supporting!

[@mybadcarter]

i think it’s dope that you picked up on the aspect of hope in fantasyworld, yeah the song is a suicide note but he is saying like achieve those goals and don’t waste your life like he did

[@SilentPhoenix__]

Fantasyworld is truly a masterpiece man

[@jonathancamina3149]

one of the greatest composed songs ive ever heard

[@Definitionofill92]

It’s so good! Creeping up as the favorite

[@maaaaaaaaaaaark]

i think my favorite detail is danny brown literally rapping from the perspective of carbon monoxide

[@Definitionofill92]

Song is even harder now

[@nugzyyy]

hey, love the video some info on fantasyworld: it’s my personal favorite on the album but it’s easily the most devastating song on the album once you know the background. it’s actually the character’s suicide note, which makes the lyrics all the more impactful. hard to keep from crying when i hear that one. absolute masterpiece.

[@Definitionofill92]

Wow thank you for checking out the vid! Fantasy world is starting to become my favorite song from the album

[@_rvngd_]

house settling is about him killing his mother with co2 by leaving the stove on, then on fractions of infinity he’s saying “those words don’t do you justice” from the perspective of his mother when he apologized… heavy,dark, and beautiful writing

[@austinggdyudjdh66319]

you always dropping the best reactions at the right time. amazing album

[@coleslaw2]

Love the comparison to a24 movies. So detailed

[@yungkabob9531]

yo you gotta react to his album FROM ME TO YOU, it’s where his rapping truly shines

[@YT1147.]

love ur reactions

[@Definitionofill92]

Thank you! I appreciate the support! 🥹

[@AmirYoshi]

Bro this is such an amazing well detailed reaction man I respect you for respecting one of my fav artists for a long time now. Keep going brother really pleasant reaction.

[@Definitionofill92]

Thank you so much for the support! 🥹

[@dir-gk]

One of my favorite albums of all time, until you have that moment where you get it, and you're just living (or spectating) as him, as the ghost after he committed suicide, IN that mindset, begging... pleading to get back, when you go to that place and you don't come back til the album's over, I don't think you feel the same. Or I'm just speaking for myself LMAO. This album is the heaviest, darkest most atmospheric project I've ever had the pleasure to experience, it is a movie and THEN some. He even dropped a movie with a dif music vid leading into each other until the end on his channel and its beautiful. And it's so desolate. Feels like you're away from everything and everybody that ever existed and you're just trapped, talking about everything that happened and renting them, the sorry's, the anger, having to face crazy and depressing shit you did over and over again cause what else are you going to do. Scary shit, I don't know anybody else who could've came up with a scenario in music where you killed yourself, you get mad cause you're family's not there with you, so you go back and try to kill em with poison gas to take them with you, and Danny Brown is the fucking poison gas like do i even gotta explain-- (also someone check up on Quad). For me, you can't get much more haunting than that LMAOOO. I don't like feeling what this album makes you feel in your core, because it's just how I imagine what purgatory would be if it is real. PS. After I got the concept, second time I went back to listen to it, memories in translation broke me i don't think i ever bawled as much as i did throughout that song, shit is terrifying it really is haunting, but its okay he didn't mean to so its all g.

[@archiewall124]

This is very true. I’ve thought about how sick a movie, or even a musical, based around this album would be. It would be so good.

[@Definitionofill92]

Agreed!! This honestly would be a great movie! A24 could pull it off

[@chaddarko5038]

Great reaction bro... I've been waiting for another quadeca video after your last one

[@Definitionofill92]

Thank you for checking out the video!

[@mattskinner846]

Thanks for covering Quadeca man!!

[@Definitionofill92]

Of course! Definitely will do more Quadeca, I hear he’s dropping an album this year

[@mattskinner846]

@@Definitionofill92 yes! His previous album, From Me to You is also worth checking out. It’s not as consistent as his most recent two, but it’s very good and got some of his best songs on it imo

[@musthabe_]

I'm still watching the video so I don't know if you mentioned it, but I definitely recommend checking out Quadeca's full album video he made for this when you're ready to re-listen to this album, the cinematography and locations are really really well done by him and his friend, and they give more context and experience to the songs I feel. Especially for the last track. EDIT: Just got to the part where you thought Sunday Service Choir is a sample, Quadeca also has a fun video of the session where they record the song, recommend to also check it out. EDIT2: loved your reaction and thoughts. Quadeca really is amazing at being creative - he made this concept album when he was like what, 20-21? It's gonna be crazy to see what he's gonna do in the following years to come. His next album coming soon too! Don't know if you've heard his song Sisyphus, but that's when I became a fan and that's when he started to make the transition into becoming a really good songwriter and producer in my opinion.

[@Definitionofill92]

Thank you so much for checking out the video! Actually sick that he got the Sunday service choir! He’s really that guy. Definitely gotta check out his video

[@hakunadamatta]

Don’t mind me supremacy. Great reaction

[@Definitionofill92]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@AmirYoshi]

YESSIR im so happy he loved it so much

[@damianmyers3502]

Awesome reaction! You should checkout his album "From Me to You", it was his first self produced studio album. You can really see the growth in his music, to me anyway, it provides great context to this album and makes it just that little bit sweeter.

[@fidboi2715]

This is very true. I checked out FMTY after IDMTHY as well, and it has some pretty good gems, but when you hear that one and realize that this was the album that walked so IDMTHY could run, it makes you love both albums far more.

[@SRSafford]

His album before this, From Me To You, would be an interesting listen for you because it’s the start of his transition into this style of music, but it’s clearly not as good with the exception of a couple songs.

[@realharrykane2063]

Idk if you knew but this album was fully produced by quadeca himself

[@Definitionofill92]

Yessir! Self produced albums automatically get praise

[@oskarallen]

You should definitely check out Today I Laid Down by Bl4ck m4rket c4rt

[@Definitionofill92]

Sounds interesting, definitely gotta check it out

[@aidanmilb7]

Great reaction man. Love these keep em coming. Love how you listen to all the layers and production its cool seeing you discover the different moments on the spot. You definitely need to see him live. I went to Seattle for this albums tour and the opener was knots, so insane. He's a great performer and plays instruments for most the songs as well as singing, he had a live band on tour with him

[@Definitionofill92]

Thanks you! Definitely love some amazing production! That’s awesome, I think I’m gonna try and catch him this year if he tours

[@Dildtherapper]

Check out quadecas second channel, Quadeca Exclusives, 20 minute vlog with sunday service choir live during the song, pretty insane stuff

[@prodigion1]

Thanks for putting me on Daedelus🙏

[@Definitionofill92]

You won’t be disappointed 🙏🏾

[@dais.2620]

I don’t know if it’d be the kind of genre you’d go for, but I think it’d be sick if you reacted to underscores’ “Wallsocket”. Really interesting electronic/punk/alternative album with amazing storytelling, & similar sound palette to Quadeca tbh

[@Definitionofill92]

Love being put on! Thanks!

[@dais.2620]

@@Definitionofill92 Ofc! Just to lyk there’s a good few songs that have a lot of ‘cryptic’ stuff unless you’re in community with trans people, so id recommend a tiny bit of research if you did do this one! especially for the track “Geeze Louise”, since its a complex discussion of that, religion, & other identity intersections.. could be a genius annotation type album LOL. I’ve seen a few reactors try the album and end up missing out on half the content bc they didn’t have the lens to understand coming into it but yeah! Enjoy that and this neurotic reply LMAO

@@kurainu1495 Beamin could go way harder than it does, but the mix on it is so messy (adlibs are WAY too loud) and kinda ruins it for me. Also, some cringe bars. The rap tracks on Scrapyard are way better lyrically and his mixes make more sense now, even if they are chaotic and lo-fi.
