Rocker Reacts to "Big Fish Theory"

[@BlackDeckerRiceCooker]

Yeah Right feels like such a once in a lifetime merging of artists its baffling at times. rest among the stars, SOPHIE 🕊️

[@croissant87712]

They way Kendrick killed that beat was magical. I just we could’ve got a cross with Sophie and Kendrick

[@tylerinmotion4075]

this is exactly why i love it (also it slaps)

[@JJJackson777]

one of them songs you where you remember where you were when you first heard it, same for Distorted Records by Rocky, Ricky by Denzel & Baby i'm Bleeding by Peggy

[@XBeamChannel]

It's a mix of SOPHIE, Vince Staples, Flume, Kùcka, and Kendrick. Insane fucking lineup

[@believeincez]

I used to skip after Vince’s verse cause I had no idea Kendrick was on it. Then one day I let it play through and oh my god was I surprised.

[@ellieosteen]

I’ve been waiting for this! RIP Slurpy RIP Sophie

[@dbmontefalcon]

Bob! After your reaction to Yeah Right, you gotta listen to SOPHIE’s album OIL OF EVERY PEARL’S UN-INSIDES! One of the best sounding albums ever from a visionary producer.

[@0_Cardboard_0]

that bass on Yeah Right is QUINTESSENTIAL SOPHIE

[@frackingfluidinjection]

i second this so. fucking. much. an essential listening experience

[@croissant87712]

Been saying this for MONTHS! This album is so forward thinking even five years later.

[@tariq6319]

Rip Sophie

[@nerdude360]

I've suggested this in the past but, Sophie, who produced Yeah Right and SAMO, is an artist I would highly reccomend you to listen to. I think it'd be a bit out of your comfort zone, but while she was alive, she made some of the coolest experimental pop music. It's like pop music absurdism almost. Deconstructing mainstream pop in a very unique way. Most, if not all, of the sounds in her songs are created by her... Like she would literally record each individual instrument through very strange methods, and the sound design is absolutely insane. Now that you've gotten a taste of her music, I would love to see you react to PRODUCT, which was her debut project. There is no thing that sounds like it. Very strange textures that will tickle your ears lol

[@sakshamchauhan202]

he should react to charli xcx

[@Benjlmao1996]

Out of his comfort zone? Bob listens to Aphex twin im sure hed like it

[@nerdude360]

@@Benjlmao1996 Theres a pretty distinct difference in the weirdness between aphex twin and sophie lol... hes also said that pop is generally out of his comfort zone... so

i’ve been obsessed with vyzee by her. like she’s such a great artist and producer and i’m glad she’s being appreciated now compared to never

Gotta go back to Summertime 06 first before going forward, that album is essential

[@gabedabling7894]

@money kenny too much filler bro. The highlights are incredible, like INCREDIBLE, but everything else really ain't it

[@moneykenny119]

@@gabedabling7894 Id kinda agree, tho I think the entire first half has no filler in it. It's really the 2nd half that drags it down a bit

[@fornikolas]

@@moneykenny119 i think it's essential too -- maybe he should just listen to '06 on his own instead of a double album reaction.

[@colezlomke4642]

RIP Slurpy. I still fondly remember his festivities over Christmas

[@dandan78566]

it's always stood out to me, and I've always really enjoyed, how one of the highest praises Bob can give is "Trippy man!" as an initial reaction, such a great energy

[@bobthepoppop]

It really is. That's when you know my mind is experiencing something new/original/unique and having a blast soaking in the unknown :)

[@Kaasgeelheid]

Love your response to the Yeah Right bass hahah, SOPHIE once said something among the lines of attempting to create instrumentals that sound like a single morphing object instead of different layers of instrumentation, which imo was really inspiring. Not really rap, but you should def give Product and Oil of Every Pearls Un-insides a listen :)

[@Kaasgeelheid]

one of the premature artist deaths that I’m truly cut up about, I feel like she wasn’t nearly done with her music revolution. rest in peace

[@0minousity]

R.I.P SOPHIE, u should react to her albums, they are both amazing

[@patsnation8427]

Vince Staples got an hell of an discography.

[@wealthywop]

Fr hes got a handful of fire records. Big Fish is my shit still

[@CritikalJari]

Its crazy how Vince has such a strong no break flow when he has asthma, in like some interviews after a live performance or sometimes during you can see him clutchin the inhaler, really overcoming his disabillity its so cool to me, I remember him saying he also got better at managing it and has had less problems with.

Still remember my first time hearing this album, the non listed Kendrick feature made it so memorable, modern classic! + rip Slurpy

[@thafinessekid7879]

[@josephdurgam8578]

YES! ALL KILLER NO FILLER! Extremely bold and original production, awesome lyricism and potent flows from Vince, also some really great features. This is my favorite project from one of my favorite artists. Big Fish Theory is INCREDIBLE

[@Zekew24]

Yeah Right shook my entire existence when I first heard it

[@goose0078]

I remember being disenchanted with hip hop in the mid 2010s after seeing acts like Blu, K.r.i.t., Cunninlynguist kinda never getting there shine, and just going through my own journey as an artist at the time who wasn't really able to make the music I wanted to make because at the lower levels in big cities, it's hard to separate the art from the hustle. Staples was that dude that brought me back to it as the first rapper my age I really messed with. As a dude he just reminded me a lot of my cousins, and the music was honest, imperfect, and moody. It was a lot of what I wanted to make honestly. Found that a lot of rappers in that generation had a similar aesthetic, and was reminded that Hip hop doesn't die, it evolves. For that I'll always have a soft spot for Vince. Glad you enjoyed it, and r.i.p. Slurpy.

[@donb.loneleo770]

This album is so good, nice that you enjoyed it as well. R.I.P. Slurpy btw On a sidenote since Vince referenced E-40 on one song I'ma use this comment as campaign for a E-40 reaction. I think it'd be dope to check out in order to add some variety E-40 is a west coast rapper from the bay area and is a legend. He has a unique rapping style (which might get a lil while to get used to) and if I'm not mistaken his earlier sound (instrumentals) is referred as mobb music which I'd say is like "rider music" (not in sound but think of OutKast's first album in a sense of it's just some fun rapping with clever wordplay here and there and it has you vibing) I think the first project you should check out from him is "In A Major Way" but if you want something shorter I also strongly recommend his "The Mail Man" EP which was his breakout project, if I'm not mistaken. On Spotify there's 2 versions of the EP (one as it came out originally and the other one is the version that was re-released after he got a distribution deal, correct me if I'm wrong) and they're basically the same with the only difference being is that one has an extra track called "Ballin' Outta Control" (which was released on the re-release of the EP) Anyway, this comment is long af and if you've read it til the end, I appreciate you. Take care

[@poko_hahaha]

you need to listen to SOPHIE's album OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES

[@carlosfuentes4944]

Bob , all of Vince staples albums are worth your reaction. Hope you listen to his other albums !

[@Ty-nh8gz]

RIP Big Slurp

[@asoingbobgaming5465]

You gotta listen to oil of every pearls un-insides by SOPHIE. Amazing album.

[@YerpDerp17]

I commented this on your Patreon but also wanted to show the KZbin channel some love. Have a wonderful and positive weekend everyone! WAY off topic, but since you mentioned it in the reaction I just had to agree. The Amy Winehouse story is one of the most tragic, sad, but equally angering deaths in all of entertainment. Her music was so beyond timeless and it truly is a shame. But how the record execs didn't give af about her mental health, and her addiction, and made her do shows when she was completely wasted out of her mind is so messed up. And that's not even nearly all of it. Her music will absolutely last forever though. That voice will never go out of style. A random fact. Mac Miller was a huge part of his early success. He would hang out at Mac's house with Tyler the Creator, Earl, and the whole crew. They always tried to get Vince to rap but he just wouldn't. But then Mac made a bunch of beats for him, told him they are for free, to start making some songs, and sort of jump-started his career at that time. Also took him on tour so he could get used to how they go and stuff. Pretty sure Tyler's first big tour was with Mac as well. I could be wrong, but I do know it was early in Tyler's career. Also, if you haven't, you should absolutely check out Vince Stapes in The Cave episode. Dude it's actually one of the funniest people I have seen. He has such quick and smart wit, that is rare to find in many people.

My favourite reaction yet! Such a great album, I can't wait until you get to his self-titled too! It took a while to really warm on me but it slowly became my favourite in his discog (by far) the more I settled into it. I would also strongly recommend watching the movie 'La Haine' Vince references in the closing track. It's an incredible French movie that tackles social issues / class struggles in such a powerful way.

[@donb.loneleo770]

Agree with all these but def 50 Cent GRODT because it's one of the essential and one of the most iconic hiphop albums of all time + it recently was the 20th anniversary of the album I think in a video not too long ago (can't remember which) he said that he has already listened to Eminem prior to making the channel and that he has already listened to Em's first 5 albums. He did consider doing a relisten/revisit tho
