Rapper FIRST time REACTION to RADIOHEAD - CREEP! Wow just wow

[@ceg2235]

This is the original. This song has been covered dozens of times from various artists. In this case, however, the original artist can never be duplicated! This song is iconic!

Have you heard the homeless mustard version? It was recorded live on the air with Andy and Opie and it's amazing!

When this song hit it was a song that knocked you over. No one sounded like this at the time. The vocals were crazy and the guitar riffs were incredible. This is their own song. Not a cover. The best self-loathing song that inspires you to accept who you are.

[@Hollylivengood]

I mean, she actually said all those things. Can you believe it? The rest of us are meeting god knows what in bars, and here this girl meets a musical genius at Exeter College in Oxford, hears the sweetest compliment ever, and she calls him a creep. Some women just don't know what they've found.

Original artist, yes. Not a cover. In 1994 I definitely felt these words.

[@crafty1096]

It is an original but it’s not. Radiohead admitted they ripped this song off and paid a 60’s group a settlement for ripping off their song “The Air that I breathe” for this. It’s exactly the same chords just backwards.

@@slytherinsteph It gets deeper because Lana Del Rey has a song “Get Free” which was ripped off from Radiohead “Creep.” Lana Del Rey then paid Radiohead. You can’t make this stuff up.

[@Rasputin-p4e]

Wrong. They only took elements from Albert Hammond song 'the air that I breath'. Even the tone between those two songs are different. However, following legal action, Albert Hammond and Hazelwood were credited as co-writers. After that legal issues, Radiohead, assured their producer, Mr Kolderie that "Creep" was an original song. He called EMI records and convinced them to release it as a single.

[@joypagni3088]

I'm 65 years old, but I remember hearing this song for the first time. It took me back to being that teenager that didn't fit in with other kids. My family life was just more messed up, and I didn't feel like I fit in with the other kids. Whenbthis song came out, I was grown up with my own family, but that insecure kid jumped out with every word and note of this song and made me face that part of myself. Great music does that. It helps us recognize and internalize feelings we thought were long forgotten. This song was brilliant.

[@char_lou]

I hear you

[@D-me-dream-smp]

As I said in another video music that we truly connect can be cathartic by encapsulating and expressing big, intense and frequently confusing emotions (especially the painful ones) that can feel too complex, overwhelming or painful to articulate. Externalising our internal landscape and sometimes even reset it. This close link with emotions is why certain music can so vividly take us back to past times in our lives.

[@DaveB-hg7el]

I'm also 65, and my years in high school were the worst time in life. Didn't feel like I fit anywhere, but music helped me to survive it. Now music helps me to keep going after losing my wife and daughter. The power of music can cross any boundaries we create. Peace 💚

[@GarrettGaudini]

This is the original and they are the original. Radiohead is one of the greatest bands, if not the greatest band of the last 25 yrs. Each band member is a master a virtuoso and together and in solo projects have greatly influenced music and film scores. This is the anthem for everyone who’s doesn’t fit in.

There is a HUGE difference between sampling someone's talent, and having the talent to perform your own interpretation of it. It's the difference between taking a picture of the Mona Lisa, or paining it yourself.

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Couldn’t have said it better myself

[@mitchchartrand]

Not at all the same. Listen to Daft Punk, who sample heavily. "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" sampled Edwin Birdsong's ‘Cola Bottle Baby'. Check out your favorite artist in the whosampled website. You'll be hard-pressed to find anyone in the last 50 years who hasn't sampled another artist's work. Prince is often cited as the most gifted musician of the past 50 years, and he was a prolific sampler.

[@Cchan53]

Thank you...a short but precise description in the explanation of the differences. I was Ling winded trying to explain why they are NOT the same . Covers and sampling. A rap fan, such as BP has said many times over and over he's heard a piece from soooo many rock songs( and I've heard this on other reaction channels) oh so and so had this in their song or I thought this was so and sons song. Many rap fans DO NOT listen to rock and therefore are under the impression these great pcs in a song were created by that particular rap artist when in fact it wasn't. A cover you're doing an entire song with your own interpretation put to it. And the world will know who the orinal came from because it's that well known a song or the credit will say so...

[@Cchan53]

​@@mitchchartrandI listened to Prince ,had his records( yes records, way back) I never recognized any known " famous " pcs. You can "sample " a cars motor revving, that's what sampling is...we're not talk similar sounding note patterns..direct pcs off of a song incorporated into one that is claimed by the artist as an original tune of their own...it's not.

[@mitchchartrand]

@@Cchan53 Tick, Tick, Bang sampled Hendrix' Little Miss Lover. For example.

Creep" is the debut single by the English rock band Radiohead, released on 21 September 1992. It was included on Radiohead's debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). It features "blasts" of guitar noise by Jonny Greenwood and lyrics describing an obsessive unrequited attraction.

[@andreacolbert4831]

IIRC, johnny didn't like the song so tried to eff it up with his guitar towards the end of the verses. But, joke's on him, it totally works!

[@karencox3235]

Dang. That was like a week after I started high school. I didn't listen to hard rock back then, but have grown to love this song. I can see how it would be more from a guys perspective... a beautiful girl and a guy who feels totally unworthy. I LOVE the acapella version in Book of Life.

[@neilsimon467]

He's just relaying the feeling a lot of people get when they are totally infatuated with someone who either isn't interested or as was the case here, the girl didn't even know him. This was written by Thom Yorke about a girl who was at Uni with him, he was besotted by her but never had the courage to approach her. Apart from once late and night when drunk he told her how she felt and she ran, understandably really given it was late and a stranger who was drunk was telling her he loved her! The lines "She's running again" are about that night. There's a live version of this on YT tagged "Best live Performance". Give yourself a treat and give it a watch, his performance is show stopping. What a band, in my view they can't be pigeonholed , they aren't Rock, Progressive etc etc . They are Radiohead ...

[@Hollylivengood]

@@crafty1096 I actually remember the song, the Air That I Breath, and it doesn't sound anything like Creep. There's nothing about them admitting anything. Normally I look up things like that too, because I'm of the generation who listened to some of my favorite music amazingly turn into a George Harrison song with different words. So I'm with you on checking this stuff out. But I don't think so in this case.

[@Hollylivengood]

@@RickshawWreck It's not even a little. You should listen to the Hollies Greatest Hits album, it's on KZbin.

He never ripped off anything.

[@simontemplar3359]

These guys are pre-emo. Lots of people consider sad music "emo," but the original definition of it was emotional hardcore. It came out of the punk/hardcore movement in the US. Bands began to get a little more melodic with frequent stop and starts as well as emotionally heavy subject matter. This came out when I was in high school. It spoke so well what I was feeling. These guys are legit and they do mess with a lot of electronic stuff. The OK Computer album has a lot of that. For a song that will hit you right in the feels by these guys, check out Fake Plastic Trees! I always felt like crapping on hip hop for sampling was weak and probably someone who has no idea what goes into it. I'm a guitar player, and this song is frankly easier for me to play on a guitar than it is to try to chop up a sample, make the pitch, tempo, etc work in another tune. There is so much more than goes into sampling than people realize. I love "found" art, so what that is is art made entirely from stuff that's already out there, but tweaked, chopped up, and recombined. Not everyone puts found art in the same category as fine art and that is a mistake (IMO).

[@abenickerson7470]

There are so many great covers of this song... in an interview Radiohead said that they won't put it in there set anymore. Haley Rinehart's cover with POST MODERN JUKEBOX is amazing. There have been some awesome covers played on AMERICA'S GOT TALENT & the other Got Talent shows from around the globe.

[@pirateylass]

I LOVE this song with as much ferocity as I did when I first heard it on the airwaves in 1992! I hear ya about not keeping songs that have certain lyrics. I think one of the biggest reasons so many loved this song when they did is that, like me, I was a young teenager, seen as a 'weirdo' in a lot of ways, feeling unsure what my purpose was, and the lyrics of this song sort of brought that to the surface in a way that let a lot of us vent our frustrations. It helped me personally not dwell on it due to the intensity of the music played in the song, wrapped up in how good it sounded. It was really cathartic, and actually helped me shrug off those inadequacies so whatever people at my school and even in my family might say about how 'weird' I was, it didn't sink in like it used to. I let myself be as 'weird' as I wanted, because I realized that I wasn't weird; I was just different than others, and that was perfectly ok. LoL Lot of the time they thought me as weird was 'cuz I spent most of my time involved with my church and youth group. I wasn't spending all my time at the mall or hanging around at home doing nothing. So if that meant I was weird, so be it! 😄

[@black4pienus]

I would call it alternative rock. I felt this song so much when it came out. I hope my neighbours enjoyed the loud volume and me screaming/singing along. lol

In the early 1970’s a band ( Alan PARSONS )wrote a song- the air that I breath - the instrumentals were incorporated into “creep " TRadiohead was sued, eventually gave recognition to Alan Parsons group for the instrumentals for Creep. the original version was air that i breathe circa 1972 .

[@orlandoochoada2242]

As others have mentioned in the comments, "Creep" is a Radiohead song and Prince covered this song at Coachella. You might also enjoy "Karma Police", another Radiohead time. Also, I'm from Minnesota. More Prince.

[@ofthenearfuture]

This song is off Radioheads first album and obviously very early in their career (1993), so this is firmly in the 90's 'grunge' 'UK alt-rock' 'Britpop' era of music. But every Radiohead album is sonically pretty different from each other, and as you mentioned they've had a few later albums which lean quite heavily into an electronic sound. Their "guitarist" Jonny Greenwood is a genius when it comes to instrumentation and composition, and is literally a composer in his own right having done film scores, etc. I would say their most famous or critically acclaimed albums are 'OK Computer' and 'In Rainbows', but if you want to check out more official Radiohead music videos I would suggest: Paranoid Android, No Surprises, Karma Police, Pyramid Song, Knives Out, Daydreaming, Fake Plastic Trees, Just, etc.

On his last I don’t belong here: Freshman year of high school, this song was playing at a school dance, there was a girl, her name was Charlene. She was one of those girls who hung out with the grunge crowd, smelled of patchouli and had long pin straight brown hair, olive skin and brown eyes. I found her to be absolutely beautiful, we never talked much, but would share the occasional getting caught staring at each other embarrassment throughout our freshman year, anyhow back to the dance, somehow at the dance we ended up talking while all the other kids danced the night away. For a moment we were in a full cafeteria with blasting music, but yet alone. Lost in each others eyes and words. Then it happened, Creep came on. The song echoed through my chest and body as I couldn’t take my eyes off her. As he let out his last, I don’t belong here, she leaned over and gave me the softest most innocent peck on the lips. At 15, I was instantly a puddle. She scurried off and the next thing I remember was my mom yelling my name saying, Time to wake up. 😢 it was all a dream. But this song will forever put me back in that school dance. I don’t belong there. 😊

The difference between covering and sampling is that rock bands state upfront their's is a cover, and they'll acknowledge the original songwriters. By contrast, hip hop will blatantly take someone else's instrumentals and use them to record their own songs with different titles, verses, hooks, and subject matter entirely- and never acknowledge the original songwriters in the track listing or liner notes. To rock/metal fans, this is considered very dishonest and insulting

I mean thats just straight up not true, its very grey actually.

Its not black and white, theres stealing and sampling on both sides of music

@@danielmcgrath680 Paying the original songwriters royalties has nothing to do with it. The issue that rock/metal listeners have with rappers sampling their music is that the rappers never acknowledge they've used someone else's beat until they're forced to.

Man, this song totally sums up my adolescent self in 1994.😂 I remember sitting outside my high school with the rest of the school chorus. The late bus was LATE LATE, and someone started singing this song. By the end we were all singing it. It's a really great memory from that year. 1994 was a pretty good year for me. ❤

[@jimfussell5589]

I LOVE this song. And just because you sing along with it and appreciate it doesn't mean you ARE a creep or a loser. Don't take it so personally. It's not about you. It's Thom Yorke explaining how HE felt when he had an unrequited and ultimately embarrassing crush on a girl at Exeter College.

[@velvetbees]

I love this song because it's so honest. It's Thom's real story.

[@1amChrlie]

Definitely check out more of them, absolutely phenomenal artists

[@andrewharrington6953]

Definitely the original

[@NBGUY]

One of my favorite songs from high school 30 years ago, and still is in my top 10

[@KeithDCanada]

If you thought they had a female singer... you may be thinking of Hailey Reinhart's version of this song. Few times can a cover to be said to be a cooler version of an already ultra cool song

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

Haley was the singer, but it should be called Postmodern Jukebox's version. PMJ does a lot of totally re-imagined covers and brings in guest vocalists. Haley is in several, but she is not the only singer that works with PMJ. Their collaboration on Creep was definitely awesome and HOT as heck. And very cool at the same time. But I would not say it was better than this, just as Disturbed's Sound of Silence was awesome but so different from Simon and Garfunkel's excellent original that I cannot call it better. PMJ is definitely worth covering. They usually have a 40s-50s sultry lounge styling - might call it torch song style. By the way, BP, it really would be a great reaction to compare the original All About that Bass with Home Free's country acapella cover and PMJ's sultry torch song cover - all very different and all very good for what they aim to be.

@@thomasmacdiarmid8251 I'll say it: If not better, just as good at the very least.

[@theresav8326]

Excellent!!!! Haley is AMAZING!!! And Sound of Silence by Disturbed… my two favorite songs and performances on KZbin!!

[@robertbootier8223]

1992 release, original artist. "Creep" is poetry. Just because you sing it doesn't mean it pertains to you, or you personally. Great reaction. Love how you ask questions all the time. You're a sponge for information. 🤙

[@Killvoid13]

I wish I was special

[@EmmaBadOne]

Great song from a great Band. One of the most unique singer I've heard. Paranoid Android is my favourite Radiohead song and it stays in my Drum Playlist forever.

[@Night_Parade]

I think you mean portishead

[@Funkenmunken]

You mentioned really liking the band's name. they took it from a song by the talking heads, A legendary band and one of the most influential of all time. The song was was called... Radiohead. ❤

[@TheAlmaward]

As I have explained before, the difference between sampling and covering comes down to giving credit to the originator. When a band does a cover version, the songwriters are given full credit, and royalties are paid. When a sample is taken, more often than not, no credit is given, and no royalties are paid. That's why hip hop gets criticized for sampling. It's not complicated.

[@Cchan53]

Exactly! If you sample from another bands song you're required to have the originator "sign off" letting you do so. Some bands works like the HUGEcatalog the Beatles have to pick at I read that they won't sign off. I don't know who's in control of their stuff these days.

[@TheAlmaward]

@@Cchan53 Sony Music Publishing controls the Beatles' catalogue now.

[@waneemo9067]

One of my all time favorite songs. Speaks to so many. Happy you did this one.

[@jcurtis5584]

Am I the only one who consistently skips the first few minutes of BP's videos to avoid the dribble and ridiculous intro 'song'?

[@jamesgreer9366]

This is by far my favorite reaction from you!! This one is a gem and a half!!!

[@lightningbug276]

Chills. Absolute masterpiece.

[@ct00001]

Another great tune of their's is Paranoid Android from their album Ok Computer. Radiohead has remained an innovative and compelling band for 30 years

[@shanerees516]

love your reactions man - radiohead are a very progressive/experimental band, hope you work your way through their work

[@manny3655]

Yeeeeeeeesssssssss!!! So glad you did RADIOHEAD. I've been hollerin' at you for the longest time to check them! I TOLD YOU!!! My friend, you have just taken what is but the very first step into the DEEEEEEEEP Rabbit Hole that is Radiohead. One of the most successful, influential, tight, forward thinking and under-appreciated bands you'll find. Do you a favor and dig deep into the thick-ass catalogue. you will not be disappointed. I promise you.

[@mandysummerlin1510]

I love this song. I felt these words in high school so much.

[@sharonstonts]

This song was all over the radio in the 90s when I was in junior high...(at least in my country), and it's still on my playlist.

[@toniswift6058]

This was the one and only! Nothing compares. x

[@seandobson6221]

This was my freshman year in college and it was the alternative soundtrack. You can hear the pain in Thom’s pain through this whole song. You need to react to one of the live versions of this one.

[@PaulineAtkinson-r4g]

Mid 40's Brit here, loved Radiohead since day one. Yes, it's the original. Thom Yorke is bonkers talent. Could you have been thinking about Portishead? Listen to their Dummy album. It's effing amazing. Beth Gibbons has an crazy crazy voice that gives me goose bumps. At least check out Glory box.

[@LunarisArts]

This was the anthem of every unpopular teen, boy or girl, in love with one ot the more popular kids while going to school in the late 90's. This was what we felt, as much as it hurt. We just felt like creeps and outcasts. We just stayed in the bacground until school was done.

[@joshuastickley2796]

Iconic song from the past and another great reaction man!

[@paulbaddiley7326]

When you see this sung live you realise just how good Thom Yorke's voice is
