Rappers React To Empire Of The Sun "Walking On A Dream"!!!

[@ElDuce69]

I'm a metal head,but this song is my guilty pleasure....love it!

[@Adam-Z96]

I'm a metal head too and I love this band! Their music is awesome

[@WWIIman1942]

Ain't alone there. This song fucks

[@El-ingobernable]

nothing to feel guilty about lol 👍

[@DefenestrateYourself]

Good music is good music

[@ZackaryPlumley]

Metal heads strictly only listen to good music so it makes sense.

[@sally2shoes]

Love this song but I NEVER would expect THIS song to be on a reaction video 😮

[@NeverTrustGhost]

Fun Fact: In 2016, Honda used this song in a dialogue-free commercial for the 2016 Civic. In the spot, the car emerges from the head of an engineer and goes for a joyride, ending with the tagline, "Direct From Our Imagination."

[@TheLordNathaniel]

Awesome video guys thanks so much for reacting to the song, it’s one of my faves from ages back~ So for some background, Empire Of The Sun is an Australian musical duo, consisting of Luke Steele (Of the band The Sleepy Jackson) and Nick Littlemore (of PNAU), the song came out in 2008 and was fairly popular outside of the USA, big down here in Aus. It got a resurgence in the US two times, once when it featured in a car commercial I believe it was, and the second when Wiz Khalifa remixed it into a song called The Thrill that he made in 2009, that didn’t officially release until 2020. If you want to check out more, they recently (like within the last couple weeks) put out a new song called Changes-really harkens to that 80s tone you were describing in the video. Again, thanks guys, I look forward to the next reaction.

[@smalon75]

Thanks for the heads-up on their new song, really liked it and was an instabuy for me.

[@michellehawk282]

You guys should REALLY react to their song "We Are The People". It's my favorite of theirs and just so good!

[@JapandaaaTV]

This is my favorite song by them !

[@DefinitelyNotBender]

This reminds me straight up of the late 2000s/early 2010s. So many good memories tied to this song. Just cruising around at night. The neon glow of the city aesthetically mirroring the sound🤌🏼🔥🤘🏼🖖🏼

[@mikethemotormouth]

#1 Yes please do People of the Sun! #2 No don't EVER stop making guesses at the genre! When I requested "I Don't Know" by Dredg and Hollywood guessed it was going to be black metal while Smokey guessed metalcore, it gave me the widest grin!

[@44.caliberbrainsurgery63]

I was a crusty ass metalhead when this song dropped and I was immediately sold on the groups vibe and music. Still listen to them to this day.

[@juttaman25]

Their song ALIVE is the perfect summer anthem

[@highpriestofthiccmumeism]

Empire of the Sun are amazing, I was BIG into EDM and heard the Kaskade remix, decided to hear the original and bruh so glad I did. Yep very Happy music, this Australian Duo are so underrated. More Songs from Empire I recommend: Without You(New Version) Standing by the Shore Tiger by Side Swordfish Hotkiss Night Half Mast We Are the People ALIVE DNA Celebrate I'll Be Around Awakening Ice on The Dune Changes (Two Vines is the only album I haven't listened to so idk what to recommend from it) Changes is their Newest Single and instantly made want to listen all their music, I'll probably check out Two Vines this weekend. Smokey and Hollywood it'll be worth to continue checking them out, they'll definitely leave you feeling better than whatever you were feeling prior. And this coming from someone who Listens to solely to J-Metal, J-Pop, Virtual Idol Music, Vocaloid, and EDM(mostly house and techno)...so yeah.... enjoy the EOTS RabbitHole!!!!

[@emperorcrespo2670]

Two Vines is a banger; check out There's No Need and Way to Go

[@trenchy1990]

Aussie tunes. You made my morning.

[@dannjp75]

Presets - My People. Another lesser known Aussie band/tune. Absolutely stonking track.

[@trenchy1990]

@@dannjp75 Good tune. I prefer Talk Like That as an introduction point.

[@StevoT-m7f]

Love how when the vocals come in you guys just immediately tune in lol

[@zmarko]

I heard this song somewhere in the late 2000's and wondered who and when it was from. So I researched it on Google and it took me some time to find it. It's been on a playlist of mine since. Great song. Very chill.

[@Synthcronized]

One of the members of this duo also has another duo called PNAU. They have really cool songs and an album in collaboration with Elton John, reimagining some of his old songs 😊❤

[@JoTracy]

Love PNAU

[@thomasallan1196]

They’re like an Australian MGMT 😅 love their sound, it’s so happy you can’t help but smile

[@AmberPearcy]

This is one of those songs that I have never known the words to, but I have to sing along with when I hear it come on at work. No idea what the it’s about but it’s one of the few I don’t mind. Surprised to see it here. Neat video.

[@petpresidentorg]

You guys should listen to “Electric Feel” by MGMT

[@skogstjuven]

Empire Of The Sun is great.

[@alishaharper5860]

Amazing group. Amazing visuals. And great albums to frame. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mattjohn4731]

Unrelated: I dare you to react to Andy Kaufman stand-up. Try the clip called "Dadaist comedy genius, 1977". He was weird as hell but truly original.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

I’m not sure but I think Eureka is from the gold rush. I think it’s what people would say when they struck gold .

[@AnnetteAllen-m8w]

I have to say Hollywood 6ix you are awesome and love your intro rap. It's catchy. Smoke dogg is awesome too. Love you guys❤❤ Smokey's voice reminds me of wolfman Jack. Love y'all. ❤❤

[@adamchandlers]

There are dozens and dozens of great remixes of this song. A lot of these songs form the early 2010 became more famous from remixes from artist like The Twelves, Two door Cinema Club, RAC and lots of others. Weird I just realized that the pure remix producer has vanished..which kind of sucks

[@danbardos3498]

I also would never expect you guys to cover these guys. I discovered them via Tame Impala going down a KZbin hole. They are a fun band to play along to; I don't care what instrument you play. Freaking harp players can rock out to them lol. I mean, why play to a click track when you got these guys?

[@Alex-bs4md]

I've always thought Empire of the Sun could just be a Key and Peele sketch but they also have some fun songs, "Way To Go" is a song I still listen to a lot. Great music video too

[@onsesejoo2605]

Lush is probably the word. Have to say that the video looks like of stoned wonder. In several of their videos they project sort of sci-fi foreign planet feel.

[@cindygilbertson3699]

You have to listen to We are the People. Great song from Empire of the Sun

[@JoTracy]

Algerian rock band Tinariwen...(live in Sweden) they're amazing

[@grant49]

All their stuff is great

[@Doogsay]

These guys r from my town, along with Karnivool & Birds of Tokyo

[@jeremysette3657]

Love this song, great pick! Reaction ideas: Porcupine Tree- Trains Leprous- Below Anathema- Untouchable Riverside- Lament Sleep Token- Aqua Regia

Not bad. 26th the name I was thinking Asian flavor

[@liamlogan1]

Mac miller used the sample from half mast by empire of the sun for his song the spins on his mixtape K.I.D.S

[@tresdabney703]

I got introduced to this song because Wiz Khalifa sampled it on one of his earlier mixtapes

[@PeeWeeGerman1313]

This is CVS at 3 AM music hahaha not my favorite but I can vibe a little

[@holysouthpacific]

wiz khalifa used this as a sample on one of his most popular mixtapes, could be where you heard it

[@JimRoper1976]

You need to react to The Wildhearts - Caffeine Bomb

[@DwayneTate-p3i]

My happiness powderfinger.

[@sterling8298]

This song is pretty lit.🎉🎉🎉😊

[@cyclonejohn69]

Great reaction to a good song. It is time for you to step outside the box and do a reaction to Arirang Alone by So Hyang from Immortal Songs 2.

[@melkysaja8246]

Nostalgia

[@sterling8298]

Speaking of Pharrell, William shell should react to his music.😊🎉

[@Doogsay]

Birds of Tokyo-Greatest Mistakes, please 😊❤

[@seanmichaelscott]

Try out listening to Joywave - Traveling at the Speed of Light

[@JoTracy]

Please do Haitus Kaiyote "Red Room" Pretty please 🙏 😊 Also, wtf are "cheese kurds" ? I'm an Aussie Not a thing we have here I can imagine what it is, but I'd probably be disgustingly wrong

Check out Pnau.Embrace.

[@DR.DisInfect]

MGMT Clones

[@DefinitelyNotBender]

They are better than MGMT

[@emperorcrespo2670]

They are way better than MGMT..Listen to songs like DNA, Awakening, and There's No Need, nothing close to MGMT...Empire are world apart and very distinct.

[@DefenestrateYourself]

@@emperorcrespo2670 lol not even close 😂. You’re certainly entitled to that creative opinion though

[@LegalizeAdulthood]

The name of this band is making me think you guys should listen to "Children of the Sun" by Billy Thorpe!

[@thomasallan1196]

Oh my gosh yes! They’d love it
