Ransom & V Don - Chaos Is My Ladder INITIAL REACTION

[@TheRickshawArmy]

Toxic Love was my favorite track of the album, those lines spoke to my soul, anyone who ever felt betrayal and disloyalty, that song is like a letter of realisation.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Oh word? The topic and content was dope so I can see why you rock with it. My fav so far has been all in - love the back n forth with spesh

[@TheRickshawArmy]

@@BSideRapReviews If we being honest, Ransom been spoiling us for the last few years nonstop, everytime you feel like damn, could use some Ransom, he drops some heat. Love all the reactions man. Good to see people appreciating art to it's fullest.

[@obeii1805]

Toxic love is the best track hands dwn

[@EWeis33]

Ransom going crazy. V Don becoming one of my favorite active producers since that "Catch me if you can" EP w/ Willie. Keep crushing it man this channel is pure gold.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Ahh I haven’t heard that joint! I just knew but his most recent one - I wasn’t familiar with V Don’s name really at all until that deutche mark 3. Ima go back and check that one out! Preciate the support bro!! 🙏🏾

[@EWeis33]

@@BSideRapReviews Man I just got around to "Blue Notes 2" from V Don and Willie the Kid. Definitely check it out. Only 25 min with great feature list.

[@alonargus]

I was waiting for your reaction to this one. This is easily one of my favorite Ransom projects. The bars are phenomenal as usual and I just knew V Don would create the perfect soundscape for him. The only beats I wasn’t in love with are “Burning Bridges” and “Late Nights Early Mournings.” I feel the 3 opening tracks were perfect to start the project off. As always, exceptional reaction. I honestly feel you’re in the top 3 with this, salute.

[@BSideRapReviews]

It’s so hard for me to pick between Ransom projects cus they’ve been super high quality since I found out bout him with the directors cut series but I think I agree! Honestly his projects just comes down to the production cus all the rapping gonna be elite. But that said, idk if I’m tripping but it sounds like random getting even better lyrically which is crazy cus he BEEN super nice. I’m right there with the the opener was insane. Hit List and All In 2 of my fav tracks of the year. Preciate the love bro!! Y’all support really been growing the channel 🙏🏾

[@Mr._fit_yt]

Thank you bro this is the album of the year 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@BSideRapReviews]

Preciate it bro!! Ain’t gon lie - this I don’t have this AOTY but I respect it Fasho! Purely from lyrics perspective it’s def top 3ish

[@Mr._fit_yt]

@@BSideRapReviews I just subbed last night to bro… great content & I liked the way you broke the beats down & broke down the bars… Ransom is top 5 maybe top 3 in my eyes he never disappoints

[@skydescoperesume2632]

Crazy!!!!! Also….. your channel is gonna blow bro!!! Your dissection is crazy!!

[@BSideRapReviews]

Preciate that!! It’s been growing like crazy these past couple months so I can see it happen - y’all been supporting like crazy!

[@Trapi77-z9b]

Can’t wait for the DC4 reaction video. You’re gonna love it. Ransom ascended to another dimension. 💰🧠

[@BSideRapReviews]

It’s on the way! I just checked it out - I’ll have it up by Monday for sure!

[@Hunterese123]

I'm so glad someone bought up that line on Most Dreadful symphony cuz when Ran said it, my mind went to J Cole's Johnny P's Caddy verse and was like oh shit, lol

[@BSideRapReviews]

Haha the ironic part was Cole was talking that on a song with a coke rapper 😂😂😂 me personally I like both lanes - conscious or street talk. I only care bout if you can rap haha. I don’t think he have dreads anymore but it also reminded me of when ransom was talking about how Lupe didn’t understand the street life…although Lu def from that life lol

[@PrevioulsyKnownAs]

Had to watch this reaction again.. best rapper alive and the best reaction channel.. I was hoping you had directors cut 4 reaction out already (I know it just came out, but I can still be hopeful). I listened to it this morning and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Hope to see that soon. Again salute and thanks for the content.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Dawg I appreciate the love!! Glad you circled back to it - I had to circle back to this project in anticipation for DC4. Bro since I had my son I been on CP time Fasho 😂 ima try to have that out Sunday or Monday latest!! Preciate ya support man 🙏🏾

[@PrevioulsyKnownAs]

@@BSideRapReviews ayeee! Congratulations on the baby! I’ll be on the lookout for that DC4 reaction tho. That boy Ran is dead nice! You will enjoy it. And I already know I’m gonna enjoy the reaction.

[@facelessronin9644]

I really really like this project. So glad to see Ransom vary his flow up and hit you from different angles. V Don's style is unstated but dope asf none the less. Another dope review cuzo.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Preciate that Ronin! Yeah, Ransom never misses in general, but I felt like he brought it even more than normal. Also crazy that he's bringing this much quality on his 3rd project of the year. Salute bro ✊🏾

[@prograham2222]

This was a good review you gave! Really in depth. Ransom is crazy with it! I think this is his best project to date. My top 3 projects he’s done so far are 1. Chaos Is My Ladder 2 No Rest For The Wicked 3. Directors Cut(Scene Two)- EP

[@BSideRapReviews]

Preciate that brodie!! Bro I think you got a point! This prob his best rapping and probably top 3 production with director cut 2 and 3 and heavy is the head up there with it. My top 3 would be bout the same 1. Chaos is my later 2 Directors cut scene 2 3. Directors cut scene 3 And I like 7 a lot as well.

[@clarktownsend8991]

whats funny is that 1st track, i wrote a post too like your reaction, listen to this track and know why i love rap/hip-hop. If you cant figure out why this is outstanding we will never see eye to eye on hip-hop. Im glad to see your reaction.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Nah for real! It’s why I love hip hop more than any other music. That lyricism and manipulation of language you can’t hear any other place. Spesh and ransom honestly should do a whole project - matter fact throw Benny the butcher in it too

[@frankleespkng]

@@BSideRapReviews I feel you on the Spesh/Ran collab. There was a time where I felt their styles were so different that I wasn’t seeing a full project but it’s that difference that makes it fit. Ran is so elite with lyricism while Spesh is witty with it. And as you said throw Benny it there. I would ultimately like to see Ran and Planet Asia. I believe they would mesh like crazy

[@frankleespkng]

Spot on review as usual. Ran has proven that he’s on Mt. Rushmore with the pen play. He continues to push the boundaries. I’m afraid to see what he does with an album where every single beat matches what he’s doing with his rhymes. But V Don definitely laced him with some nice backdrops. If Ran doesn’t have the top album when all aspects are involved I definitely feel he’s definitely on top lyrically. Preciate you as always brotha👊🏿

[@BSideRapReviews]

Preciate it brotha!! And facts - the scary part is it seems like he's improving with each project. The director's cut series was what put me on to ransom and I feel like the lyricism he shown since that series has progressively gotten a tad better each year. Yeah I think the only thing that can hold a ransom project back is production and glad V Don could deliver. Wouldn't be mad to see him team up with Craven for another full project again - they always go crazy together!

[@Adam-wi5bh]

Great reaction! This video needs more views. You def get it!

[@frankleespkng]

“Them contract lyin (lion) they put their clause (claws) in it” man Ran be TALKING

[@BSideRapReviews]

Maaaaan ion even think I caught that one (prob was running my mouth lmao). It be dang near every line is a bar with ran 🔥🔥🔥

[@KillYaEgo]

Ohhh shit my slow ass didn’t even catch the clause part. Lol I caught the lyin lion and claws but forgot all bout clause actually being a word

[@frankleespkng]

@@KillYaEgo no question. His next line was “they forfeited (four fitted) the play on words with four paws is crazy

[@keithpolo51]

First time I heard a V Don beat was They Killed Pookie With Westside Gunn and Conway. Hes definitely a dope producer in the Boom Bap lane

[@BSideRapReviews]

Doope!! I just went and listened to it - that's a dope beat - I rock with jazzier production heavy. I think he's going to build a big name cus he's talented and looks like he's fairly young too.

[@leroyregis8049]

Chaos is my ladder in my opinion is ransom best body of work for 2022 he is on a lyrical RAMPAGE

[@BSideRapReviews]

Same bro! Dude was on one with the rapping but also this the best set of beats he rapped on and by a pretty big margin. Craven had some good beats on No rest for the wicked (esp imperial glaciers), but the other producers were really hit or miss

[@skydescoperesume2632]

J arrr…. Look into his ish!! He crazy!!!

Just gotta say, when I heard Random say “wavin the 5 that’s saying goodbye” is when I accepted ransom is the best rapper on the planet🤣 I’m late to this one cause I listen to the albums before the reviews, but good lord Ransom is HIM

[@BSideRapReviews]

Maaaan that dudes bars be battle rap worthy lol! I didn’t hear of Ran until 2020 with directors cut 3. So first time ever listening to him I heard that “cookin, take a couple steps back…wait for that work to Harden” line and new he was him after that haha. Never too late brodie! I’m in the same boat for the most part unless I think it might suck - then I gotta see someone vouch for it first lol

[@acgthamc]

@@BSideRapReviews ay I feel u man. I had to do the same thing with that Conway death by misadventure project🤣

[@xInsaneJuggernautx]

Ransom really is DIFFERENT. I’m a bit higher on No Rest For the Wicked than you are but I think this album is clearly better production wise, lyrically, and even the features! Want to give this some more listens to properly place it but this level of rapping is not matched on many other albums released this year.

[@xInsaneJuggernautx]

Also, J Arrr can RAP! Definitely check out his “Hoop Dreams 2” project that he dropped with Nicholas Craven production, one of my favorite projects outside of my top 20 this year!

[@BSideRapReviews]

The rapping on No Rest for the Wicked was crazy to me. The Nicholas craven beats were super dope it was just the other producers lol. I got that one like top 40ish but yeah I’m right there with your got joint for certain on my year end list. I think it has a really good argument to lyrically be the best projects. It’s between this this, elephant man’s bones, drill music in Zion, and The Forever Story imo.

[@BSideRapReviews]

Bet ima check that one out! I think I heard about the hoop dreams series now that I think about it. Either a KZbinr or blog I follow covered it but I can’t remember who off the top of my head

[@Kenpachi4207]

Ransom the best rapper alive. I don’t wanna hear none of those people’s who say ransom is fire but never switches his flow . You say that to me you getting slapped. Plus my opinion this ransom best album so far . On no rest for the wicked he said the best was yet to come. Brother wasn’t lying. He also my favorite because I’ve actually talked to him on ig. Him and J.arrr are the only two artists I’ve ever actually talked to. Everyone else gets to big and never talk to fans.

[@BSideRapReviews]

My guy!! Ay I can’t even lie to you - I got Mach as my best rapper alive but I agree with all ya points outside that haha so slap all these niggas up regardless 😂😂😂 I ain’t never spoke to him but I’ve seen him interact with plenty fans on twitter and always respected him for that. He a rapper’s rapper and also a grip hip heads rapper. Dude tough af!! Directors cut 3 is what really made me a fan so that’s always gon have a special place in my heart but this might be his best project

[@BSideRapReviews]

I actually not too familiar with his stuff. Only project I heard from him was his joint with Futurewave earlier this year but I only gave it one listen outside of that song Field Trips which I think is FIRE. Off just that one listen, he fell in the category of rappers that I think are good, but don't stand out from the crowd of good underground rappers - I'd throw guys like Knowledge the Pirate, TF, Flee Lord etc in that category. You think that new project worth checking out? I can def give it a spin
