Rappers React To Björk "Human Behavior"!!!

[@dannjp75]

Björk is a genius, her stuff was mocked at the time by some quarters but it’s still rocking now… Big Time Sensuality ❤❤

[@-Heavy-]

Björk is an insane genius!I love her!!!

[@achebwahs1111]

I saw Bjork live in 1994 when she headlined the Big Day Out festivals in Australia along with Soundgarden, The Ramones and the Smashing Pumpkins. Her mic wasn't working for the first 10 seconds of her set but you could hear her voice clearly over the crowd. That was a trip and when the mic came back on her voice was live was insane. She had everybody's attention. Extraordinary artist

[@HenritheHorse]

DAMN, so many of my influences in the same place! Festivals today suck ass.

[@achebwahs1111]

@@HenritheHorse I know right

[@sarahbingham5112]

[@thomasdaugherty6671]

The Sugar Cubes "Birthday" is another one of her bigger hits that deserves a listen.

[@KiltedHammer]

the Justin Robertson 12" mix is my favorite version of Birthday.

[@sterling8298]

That's what I love about Bjork so much is that she's so totally different from any other artist.

[@phillipseaton9389]

The video was directed by French director Michel Gondry who would go on to direct Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. He also directed a lot of Bjork's videos including Army of Me. He also directed videos for Daft Punk, The White Stripes, the chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, Radiohead, foo fighters Id recommend Joga, hyperballad,

[@mikethemotormouth]

I loved his other movie too The Science of Sleep

[@terryhunt2659]

Gondry wanted Björk to play the lead in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but she turned the opportunity down because she feared it would have a bad effect on her emotional equilibrium.

[@phillipseaton9389]

@@terryhunt2659 well considering her experience with Lars Von Trier in Dancer in the Dark I can't say I hardly blame her. Even though she was very familiar with Gondry apparently Trier was a weirdo on set.

[@aprilwilliams8073]

@phillipseaton9389 i love hyperbalad ,and Venus as a Boy

[@davidmassey6332]

Gondry is a genius, I have the dvd of his whole catalog He also did: ‘Be Kind, Rewind’

[@Brent-ox8lk]

Her arsenal of vocal techniques, dynamics and range is amazing. A genre of her own.

[@jorel80]

Bjork is an alien! She’s got this crazy palate of electronica, trip-hop beats and classical strings, very eclectic. Check out “Alarm Call” it’s got a sick beat with her otherworldly voice making magic. Chinchilla is probably the closest modern artist as far as her “out there” kinda vibe and vocal ability

[@chuckw4947]

Yes, Chinchilla, Yes

[@RichardRitenour0522]

Bjork is right, Humans are unpredictable and illogical. She's also very nice on the eyes.

[@troypanton2221]

The Kate Bush comparison is spot on! She has writes, produces & is in charge of the themes! There is a lot more to discover. Been a fan since her Sugarcube days

[@markflower8885]

Bjork, yet another artist that Mike Patton has collaborated with. He sang on her album " Medulla"

[@kristaspecht]

Morning, guys! I love bjork! She is so creative and imaginative! And yes "out there", I like that! Haven't seen this video in a long time!! Very kool you are checking out her stuff!❤

[@santacruz7455]

Guys, did you recognize that Björk makes no attempt to be sweet, seductive, charming, sexy etc. in this video? It is mostly irritating to men watching her and maybe a handful other female artists refusing to match the expectations of male watchers in videos, on stage, etc.....this shows how deeply sexist the industry and society still is. She is a hero artist..

[@sterling8298]

Bjork rules. 😊🥹🫨 Her voice is beyond amazing. Yall should watch one of her live concerts.😊 This is probably one of her best songs.😊🎉 And this is another artist that my mom got me into.😊❤ Man , my mom has a good taste in music.😊🎉

[@CBGB_1977]

She is living art! Off beat in the best way. Her voice is so unique with her tone and technique. Y’all need to check out more!

[@kelst75]

She really is one of a kind. Amazing artist.

[@hitmixhyepock9405]

This song is top tier.....so is Army Of Me, Venus As A Boy, Big Time Sensuality and Violently Happy.

[@AlderPeak]

Venus As A Boy is my personal fav. So beautiful.

[@jrlaz0001]

Bjork is best enjoyed in order as her later stuff gets more academic and avant guard. It can be daunting to hear her later work without context. I’ve seen her live 3 times in 20 years and her progression has been amazing!💙🙌

[@zmarko]

My first introduction to Bjork was from The Sugarcubes song "Hit", that released my freshman year of college (1991). It was an odd, but very cool song. Definitely worth checking out.

[@JD_Slacker]

Same. I was a senior in high school.

[@jponah]

Great song!

[@grysqrl]

Björk is pretty fantastic. If you'd like to see someone else a little like her, I would really love to see you guys react to Aurora. She's the best. One of the few performers with live performances that are usually better than her studio recordings (though her most recent album is really really good). Here are a few options: -If you want an old, popular song, watch Runaway (the music video inspired Billie Eilish to look at music as a career) -If you want to cry, watch Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1) live at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert -If you want something recent, watch Starvation (music video) or A Soul With No King (live on Vevo) There are a ton of other places you can go - there's no right place to start.

[@musicaddict5076]

I was lucky enough to see her and The Sugarcubes back in 1989 with New Order and PIL. Incredible show all around.

[@willfromyadkinville]

i seriously love her! she is just amazing! from Sugarcube to her solo career!

[@kenhewitt7357]

Magnificent madness!

[@joshuacanipe7688]

Dudes! Nice shout out to Sigur Ros. They are amazing. I've been a fan of them for years now ever since one of their songs was used for a Prince Of Persia game trailer. Would love to see you guys react to them.

[@markdavy3020]

Bjork was also in a band called The Sugarcubes before she went solo

[@jonibz1456]

Yeah maybe they should check out some Sugarcubes as well.

[@Alix777.]

Björk, an infinite inventive mind. Great review guys !

[@liveorexist3661]

I've loved Bjork since the Sugarcubes back in the 80's. Love Hunter from her. I've always think of the movie Hannah when I hear that song. When my friends and I danced to her music back in the day we called it Bjorking...you just ket go.

[@HappiSwede]

I get Björk vibes from Aurora. Two amazing free spirits.

[@gennyreese420]

What a nice surprise from you guys, great reaction, Bjork is truly one of a kind, Controlled Chaos LOL I used to hang out with some DJs and they would spin her records and tweak them out all night long, we used to have so much fun rolling to her music, check out Emotional Landscapes or Hyperballad next. Also, I've seen other comments here telling you guys about Aurora, I've told you about her before too maybe now is the time.. she's an alien/angel from Norway with a very unique vibe, her music is nothing like metal but she herself is a Metalhead and metalheads love her LOL maybe start with Murder Song 5 4 3 2 1 or The Seed 🌌✌🌟😎

[@sterling8298]

I swear you all react to the best music out there.🎉😊❤

[@DefinitelyNotBender]

Björk is a Goddess

[@Ciclopea2]

What people mocked sometimes was Bjork's "eccentricities" in behavior and fashion choices, but most people agreed that she was a very talented and avant-garde musician, she even surprised me as an actress. "Dancer In Ther Dark" is a musical masterpiece and i only watched it once because her character and performance absolutely broke me, she's brilliant.

[@marcusedwards8283]

Bjork is great. You guys mentioned her song, "Army of Me"...Helmet actually did a cover of that song back in the day.

[@katskillz]

Bjork = One of Geddy Lee's all time favorite vocalists.

[@sentenced03]

I love bjork she is so talented. My favorite song of hers is pagan poetry. The video is quite suggestive, lol.

[@JonathanAshworth-mm4jp]

She's a genius, with an amazing voice. Seen her twice with the sugarcubes and twice as a solo artist. Birthday is a cool sugarcubes song. Play Dead is my favourite song as a solo artist. ✌🤘

[@DavidAston-bn9bz]

Much as I enjoyed this and her biggest hit "It's Oh So Quiet" whenever I see Bjork I think of the UK satirical puppet show "Spitting Image" which had sketches entitled "101 uses for a Bjork". These included a smoke alarm, a heart monitoring machine and an R2D2! The trippy video reminds me of "There There" by Radiohead where Thom Yorke becomes a tree. Hope you get back to them soon and you must check out the hauntingly beautiful "Pyramid Song" with lyrics.

[@dannjp75]

Reversing alarm for a bus.😂

[@DavidAston-bn9bz]

When I saw Sugacubes live for the first time she blew my mind, incredible singer.

[@ginafragata2947]

Yes shes amazing ❤

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

Love the "They Live" t-shirt, Smokey!

[@V.F.D.DaleSalvador]

Bjork was doing music pretty much her entire life. She released a covers album when she was 9 I think (it's bad, don't worry about it). Her first legit project was the vocalist for an Icelandic band called The Sugarcubes. Check out the song Birthday. super catchy and oddball like her usual stuff, BUT THE VOCALS Jesus. She was just a teenager at the time and the vocals are insane. Tons of power and emotion at that young age.

[@KenCyrus-tb3nh]

Genius song and video, and she looks adorable.

[@cjonesufc]

Bjork has a lot of music. I don’t care for a lot of that music. The music of hers that I do like I REALLY like. This song is fantastic. And she has some absolutely incredible live performances worth checking out.

[@princebloodgrave8097]

The Sigur Ros song Sigur Ros is amazing, it's the first song on their album Von. :D

[@guitaroffthecuff-davids5528]

Smokey - I love your They Live t-shirt. Epic movie. Stay awesome.

[@RedPillMode]

One of my big regrets is not going to see Icelandic band Sugarcubes, singing one young Björk. Year was 1989. Björk is genius. I love her.

[@Spiderific]

Love the song and the video.. Although the teddy bear freaked me out as a kid.

[@michaelwebster8389]

This is from here first album, which was absolutely brilliant. Probably much easier to get into than her later stuff, which is why it's the one I like most.

[@stevekeale4395]

Another great reaction from you two, can I recommend The Rabbit, by a fantastic Brighton band called 12 Stone toddler. The video is great two. Great musicians and wicked key.

[@Ltb0904]

This was the first single Björk released as a solo artist after the sugarcubes broke up. She’s said it’s written from the perspective of other animals on t earth observing humans and being baffled by us! The video concept she developed with Michel Gondry was a children’s storybook aesthetic. Her record label was expecting modest album sales, but this song and the album were a surprise hit, especially in Europe where it cracked the top 10 in album sales charts.

[@aprilwilliams8073]

Pagan Poetry is a beautiful one by Bjork

[@johnladd8421]

you should check out BIRTHDAY from SUGARCUBES. The band Bjork was in before going solo. I’m pretty sure it was the song that introduced her to the masses.

[@DerzwD]

Love from Germany ✌🏻

[@Roo-Roo-x]

really love bjork and your reaction! would love to see you react to Alarm Call by bjork

[@matthewchance8835]

"Motorcrash" by Sugarcubes is a great song, Björk's singing is top notch on that one.

[@Erichthonius1109]

Isobel is epic if you ever check it out. The string section... chefs kiss.

Can’t wait to watch you guys react to Army of Me.

Badass. She is badass. She has this song called Hyperballad. Its musically outstanding and lyrically its fuckin crushing. Give it a listen everyone, and read the lyrics.

[@ivoshandor6278]

One thing you might notice is the lack of digital pitch and tune on her vocals.....just pure raw talent

[@billspivey6919]

Try Bjork's first band, The Sugarcubes, Song - Birthday

[@InsideBilderberg]

I recommend if you do another one by her to do "Violently Happy" or "One Day" next, also from her Debut album, greetings from Iceland.

[@colinwest3301]

This was her first hit after leaving Sugar Cubes. It launched her solo career.

[@Sagitarria]

keep going with Bjork= it's such a diverse catalog

[@desireezachry8086]

So underrated

[@ShaneCarey]

You'll want to hear Björk's "Pleasure Is All Mine" featuring Mike Patton and Rahzel. On your own if not for the channel, she has bigger songs, but... Mike Patton and Rahzel!

[@colinwilson4609]

The Modern Things, Hyperballad, Army of Me. You guys are about to go down the rabbit hole.

[@ShanLH5]

They reacted to Army of Me already

[@nathanclarke2777]

Love Smokies shirt!

[@freyjagudjonsdottir4261]

We Icelanders are very proud of our Björk. I think you should check out Kaleo a great band from Iceland 😊

[@untergehermuc]

Kate Bush was a very good guess. Btw, Björk was the first singer ever who got their own exhibition in MoMa.

[@metalguru85]

I don't like all Björk's stuff but Army Of Me is a tune. Her videos are always weird and I love that.

[@jameswarner5809]

Army Of Me, and yes, it is.

[@kinskifilms]

The beat in that song is basically the hardest shit of all time

[@PeeWeeGerman1313]

I adore Björk! This video used to scare the hell out of me when I was a kid. If you want a creepy video with a beautiful woman with a hypnotizing voice I recommend What's A Girl To Do by Bat For Lashes

[@KiltedHammer]

Of Monsters and Men is another band from Iceland and their music is probably a bit more easy to get into. That said, Bjork is ahead of her time and a fantastic artist.

She should do a song with Maynard. It would make a great Pucifer team up.

I rememeber watching the music video for this back in the day. At the time, i just thought Bjork was gorgeous, now i listen to this song and realize i think a bit different.
