TheBlackSpeed Reacts to Pete & Bas's T-Pain! T-PAIN HOPPED ON THE TRACK TOO!?

[@TheBlackSpeed]

Guys, I finally get it's pronounced with the short "a" sound. Yall are horrible at explaining it, but I got it. We're SO good on it, we can move on. 😂 Daaaang yall can latch on to shit.

[@AdamDray]

And 'bazz'

[@Simo76195]

I wanna be like Pete and Bas when I grow up 😂😂😂

[@thetalantonx]

Bas rhymes with Jazz, short for Basil.

[@TheBlackSpeed]

I actually, through a Wiki article somewhere, figured out it's pronounced like the sound a sheep makes, so that was pretty cool haha. Because I'm American, you saying that still comes off to me as "bay-sool" because we don't pronounce it "bah-zool". Just something to keep in mind. All those videos I heard where it's clear as day they're saying "bayse", their accent just thick as hell lol.

[@thetalantonx]

@@TheBlackSpeed Fair enough. In their video for Plugged in with Fumez, Pete himself introduces them as the song begins. It's in the first 10 seconds of the video and it's as clear as he ever says it. A lot of other times I know it can be hard to hear. I hope this helps!

[@TheBlackSpeed]

@@thetalantonx Yeah like I said, I know how to pronounce it now. Short "a" sound. :) It's just the accent for people who aren't overseas isn't that obvious. It's all good. :)

[@thetalantonx]

@@TheBlackSpeed I gotcha. I'm trying to learn how to be better at explaining it for new people so frustration gets cut down overall. Thanks for caring. o7

[@TheBlackSpeed]

@@thetalantonx Haha it's no worries. You did fine. Other people were being annoying. You're cool. :) It's hard when two words that are spelled exactly the same sound very different dependent on the country ha. Hard to get across online sometimes.

[@Stormpriest]

I want to see Pete and Bas do a collaboration with, Guy Ritchie films. He's notorious for doing films about the London underworld, these dudes doing the soundtrack? That shit would be lit!

[@muninraven3327]

"Triplets" is such a mic slamming bar, and the first time I watched this I had that personal moment of predicting, that it smashed that much harder for me. I hear you on the flipping between, and getting caught up in different artists. I would suggest always do what feels natural to you on any given day. You may grow subscribers slightly by doing the latest thing that drops, but you're more inclined to get returning viewers (the thing you should cultivate the most); if you simply go off what you want to do, or in the frame of mind to do. It resonates so much. ❤

[@johns3040]

Great reaction. Loved your energy

[@magnetsoldiercephas331]

You are a true music head and can tell. Love the natural rhythm and pure enjoyment you have for good music. Great reaction and new sub here. Keep up the positive energy. It’s infectious

[@shanksre6186]

Wishes from the UK 😊

[@MJ-tg7wv]

Great reaction and so glad you dropped this after you heard both tracks - you still ought to dig out the vid of TPain rapping his part - it was cool that he filmed it. I hope TPain knows how much love and respect he is getting from the Pete and Bas fans. He responded to the open verse challenge in such a fire way. And we know he wouldn't have done that unless he acknowledged that the OGs are the real deal. In the original version they give a nod to where they all come from: Tell a Hussie (Tellahassee for T Pain) and ringing the Bow bells - if you were born within the sound of the bells of the Church of St Mary le Bow - then you are a true Cockney. Love to all from the UK - and yes you must do some more Pete and Bas - they always produce a banger with bars on bars - even when having fun!!!!

[@TheBlackSpeed]

Hey, no disrespect, just curious if you watched the whole video? I have his part in here lol. Just curious. But yeah, I got every bar. Except the UK part of course ha. But yeah, T-Pain SLID on this.

[@MJ-tg7wv]

@@TheBlackSpeed Nah mate - I watched the whole thing and as ever you are fab. No it is the short with the visual of TPain - it was lit that he did it.. In fact he did 2 shorts, but this link is the better one kzbin.infoiQFOGsKzmIM. If you have time, it is fun. Same verse, just TPain in person! have a fab day. Love to you and yours from the UK💖

[@MJ-tg7wv]

@@TheBlackSpeed I should have given the link in the first place - I know you are real busy. I think your reactions are superb. Don't change - you are doing a fire job. Yeah - Tpain wouldn't have done this if he did not think the OGs deserve respect. Also Krizz Kalico did a reaction on another channel and he loves them too. It is neat. They put the work in - I am with you - I am not sure they write it all - but I think they will have some input - a collab - cos they have got to deliver the bars. Cheero!

[@TheBlackSpeed]

@@MJ-tg7wv That's kind of you to say, I do appreciate that! And haha linking will always help me out. 🙏🏿 Oh, they get my utmost respect. I've never seen an act like theirs before.

Lol I won't say it "doesn't matter". It's cool to know who does things behind the scenes. Doesn't take away from how dope this is, and never said it did. And yes, did you watch the full video? It's in the video.

[@jmas43]

My favorite collab all year. Go watch the short that T-pain released prior to this.

[@TheBlackSpeed]

He did a short on it? Because in this video, I have his rap. Is it something else you're referring to?

[@jmas43]

@TheBlackSpeed Go to T-Pain's account and hit shorts. It's the one that says new chunes coming soon innit/before ya Iphone had ITunes on it.

[@TheBlackSpeed]

Ohhhhh I actually saw that on Tiktok! But for some reason couldn't find it on KZbin and saw Sindhu was postin' the audio and said why not. I can tell they remastered it. But yeah, Pain is fire. I need him to keep coming with new heat.

[@jmas43]

I'm hoping this encourages him to write some more hip-hop. That would be cool AF.

Bas, short for Basil, pronounced similarly to "jazz" or "has" - stop calling my man a lake fish!

Now, you're just confusing him. That Lake Fish is pronounced 'Bas'.😂 Spelled like Bass, the frequency range.... but said like Bas, one half of this duo.😂😂

[@TheBlackSpeed]

@@simiangimp2282 I don't know why they're not getting this!!! Haha. I get it now. 🖤

[@Strangeworkings]

They're cockney, they grew up with cockney rhyming slang. He says they do crosswords, especially if they're hard like cryptic or double clue gives them all the skills they need to write bars. Plus Bas was apparently a music teacher. I don't get why it's so hard for people to believe they write their own material with some help with modern words from their grandkids, "Hey grandad, there's this guy called Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory". Rhyming, double, and triple entendre were not recently invented things.

[@TheBlackSpeed]

Some of yall really not picking up on the comment as being more "it's COOL that these old dudes are able to do that as most old people are slangin' lines like this". THAT I think is more surprising. It's not that far-fetched, especially when your comment comes with the context of people who know them. Not everyone does. People their age can barely drive, let alone spit bars. That's all that comment means. It's a compliment. Anyway, I think that's why people may think it's hard to believe. No sarcasm, I hope that helps.

[@ianpereira3119]

They are not cockneys as they are from south London bermondsey Millwall. Cockneys are from east London born within ear shot of the bow bells.

[@Strangeworkings]

@@ianpereira3119 Did you just google that or do know what you're talking about? Cockney's have been around for generations and have moved around a lot since. It's a dialect... Yes, cockney orignated in east London but now you can find them all over, just listen to their accents. Pete and Bas are from the South-east anyway.

[@ianpereira3119]

@Strangeworkings I'm from Tottenham Norf london and like most londoners north south east and west we do all sound kinda cockney (not the youts dem though) but we as in north south and west Londoners AINT COCKNEYS because none of us were born and raised anywhere the bloody bow bells

[@davidodanye8658]

They write but their grandkids redefine it with new slangs … so it’s a 4 team writing… that includes both Pete and bas

[@RamenDenominator]

@davidodanye8658 That's the lore, but it's not the truth. This is an industry project from the jump. That doesn't make it bad.

[@TheBlackSpeed]

Of course it doesn't, just always cool to know the info behind the scenes. I don't think anyone thinks it matters due to how talented they are in their own right (pun intended).

[@altonthorne8875]

​@RamenDenominator okay, so legit question. If it's an industry project, why are they independent? How come all of their growth has been through grass roots, for example not copyrighting reaction videos to get the word out there? How come they don't have more collabs? There are tonnes of things that would accelerate their growth if they were industry plants, surely? I'm not saying they write the lyrics, I'm pretty sure Nine and Dex contribute a lot to the writing... but I'm just not sure there's any evidence that they have industry support.
