The pioneer of lo-fi bedroom rap

[@special_ID5]

Another Fantastic video from you once again

[@adankpancake]

Thanks!

[@TRPBOYADDCT]

im always shocked how rav hasn’t been a mainstream hit yet despite him knowing a lot of famous people and having better production than most mainstream rap artists

[@adankpancake]

yeah, i think it's just the fact exo doesn't really put a whole lot of money into marketing. i think if they had sponsored ads or something maybe they could get more appeal but tons of youtubers know who he is and have used his music before

[@ricebowls2118]

Rav is one of the most underrated artists I’ve found in ages, such a great sound

[@adankpancake]

fr!!!!! thanks for the comment!

[@BootlegSoda]

Very nice

[@adankpancake]

LETS GOO THE GOAT COMMENTED!!!!

[@someguy2350]

Yessir yesssirrr, we love some R A V Appreciation. Rav is by far my favorite artist ever, it's unbelievable how he's come up with like 5 million songs that both sound fucking amazing and are PAINFULLY relatable, sometimes it legit feels like he's speaking directly to my soul, even knowing how different our lives are and how many other people feel the exact same way. His song-writing and lyrics are genuinely art, man, I can't even begin to imagine how much time I've spent listening to his stuff either when I'm just vibing or when I'm in my feels pacing around my room at 3 AM. I could never put into words how important this man's music is to me. Don't mean to exclude the other exo boys of course, I love Scuare and Bill, they're right behind him in terms of my favorites, but Rav's shit just hits different and he's *the* artist for me. Great video! (Also, "Be" is the best fucking song I've ever heard.)

[@adankpancake]

Literally everything I could say right there. It's not that I don't think the other members of the group aren't on that level it's just that the way he writes hits me where it hurts every single time. I would say even airospace as big a fan as I am of airo even airo can't hit me like that

[@collinwade]

also discovered him in 2020, he is now my favorite artist

[@adankpancake]

yuhhhhh huge W

rav is such a great artist and probably one of the most relateable artists ive ever found, super cool you made a video about this keep up the good work!

[@adankpancake]

W opinion. Thank you for the comment!!

[@criticalscythus369]

Rav be that type of guy that hits the vibe. Plus the samples are quite nice. Jippy, mndsgn, birocratic, j^p^n are all awesome producers

[@JpgSilent]

I sometimes relate to rav and kill bill and that's why I love their music

[@adankpancake]

the relatability is like their selling point imo

[@TotallyShr00m]

Feels good seeing rav related vids pop up in my recommended

[@adankpancake]

feels good seein these views go up LOL (thanks for the comment, i really appreciate it!)

[@Subtle_calamity]

Such a great video that perfectly encapsulates why rav and exo means so much to me. I have to admit as a big fan of airo, I’ve also not been the biggest fan of the music he’s put out this year and the way he’s done it. What happened to this day still sucks but I can never deny what all of their music has done for me and I’ll always be excited for anything they put out. Thank you for making this!

[@adankpancake]

yeah. still a fan of both groups but im so done with picking sides i just wish that sh never happened. the music of everyone involved will always be important to me so it is what it is. thanks for the comment!

[@Subtle_calamity]

@@adankpancake I said the exact same thing when deciding to go see rav on his tour or not. At the end of the day, it is their business and we are not friends with any of them personally and I just want to enjoy the music. Much love to you bro!

[@noladotlol]

oh my god rav getting attention?? literally just any attention at all??? been listening to rav since I'm On To Me and man. still shocked how little attention he gets. one of the most influential lyricists to me.

[@adankpancake]

im onto me fr changed my life. been listening since new moon. thanks for the comment!

[@anthonynaquayouma9028]

This video goes hard i hope rav sees this. More over you should do videos showcasing KB and scuare music and history they definitely overlap but it still would be interesting

[@adankpancake]

i think this is the one he talked about on twitter lmao

[@anthonynaquayouma9028]

@@adankpancake most definitely. i just saw your post about it while checking out your catalog to make sure you didn't already do videos on the other exo boys im excited to check out your other work! You earned a subscriber

[@adankpancake]

@@anthonynaquayouma9028 thank you so much! yea i think at some point i will make videos about bill and scuare but i can't promise a date attached, making any content takes me a while but I just do my best to be consistent with posting.

[@kyledoesdev]

banger video! i got some really really great footage of rav and scuare live in philly on my page, he had an awesome set.

[@doomvest4972]

Idk if is a butterfly effect but i found rav by a video called single second from 2012, i see it and no more, know 8 years after i see it again, and the rest is history, i really like rav and i hope someday i can go to a show (my english is really bad) (greetings from chile)

RAV not rahv, not rave, roove R-A-V RAAAAAAAAVVVVV

[@tronkles3633]

Good vid, though I wouldn't categorizing Rav into lo-fi rap.

[@adankpancake]

I would say a lot of his earlier stuff definitely CAN be defined as that but nowadays he's forming his own sound which I think is really working for him. Thanks for the comment!

[@yOGlo]

I remember i illegally downloaded this tape off bandcamp 0:51 that was my first time hearing him n i didnt really like no lie 🤷‍♂️ 💯 i dont remember what that tapes called but i remember listening to it allot .. but great vid still tho n great editing aswell btw 👏 🖼🎨

[@furret3195]

Who’s official still in exociety?

[@adankpancake]

i think its just rav bill and scuare lmao, maybe rekcahdam but he doesn't hang out with them ever, or work on music with them ever so who knows??

[@bsod404s]

from what i know, it’s rav, bill, and scuare as the main three. datacat and rekcahdam are also in it, but datacat is rlly mysterious and ppl think it’s an alter ego for bill but i asked him on an ig live recently and he said he’s not data but that’s prob a lie. rekcahdam is still part of exo but he lives in japan if i remember correctly so he doesn’t have a lot of time to collaborate. ashido brown left in 2020 i think and airospace left after the cds were released that prompted him to go
