J.I.D - Surround Sound (ft. 21 Savage & Baby Tate) | FIRST REACTION/REVIEW

[@11hyann]

Jid is the best rapper on this new generation. His cadence, flow, everything. This man is a lyrical genius

[@byHexted]

No wayyy I LOVE Jid but if we talking LYRICAL genius people like billy woods Ka, Roc Marciano and even the Griselda guys are at least at the same level as JID. Watch the shady cypher with conway and Benny, or really any cypher with the two of them they’re really as good as you can get with that style imo, but billy woods is wayyy denser lyrically then practically everyone else in hip hop there’s only a few other rappers in that group like Aesop rock, milo and myka 9

[@blackstartoad5008]

@@byHexted Griselda ain‘t touching Jid, as far as multi syllable rhymes -and flow wise. Jid goes into way many pockets tries new flows and cadences whereas griselda sticks more or less to their usual rhyme patterns. Haven’t listen to the other guys you mentioned though, they seem like some underground rappers?

[@kingXkeith]

Def the most versatile in the flows. Over anyone right now especially Griselda

[@BonesWasTaken11]

@Hexted ka might have the best bars ever, but he's too much of a specialist; he basically has no flow.. If you're taking every aspect of lyricism, jid is better. Also, I like griselda, but come on, they're not even close.

[@lndulging9328]

@@byHexted Lyricism also includes word play and affects cadence and flow as well. You can have a super dense verse but your verse sounds like shit. Check out Lauder by JID, the bars per line on that song match people like eminem and lupe. Absolutely incredible.

[@fighting185]

JID flow is second to none right now imo. His words almost sound like an actual instrument.

[@yaniv8792]

Honestly can't think of anyone else who's flow and delivery is so sonically pleasing to listen to. But for me it's past and present. This man different

[@nish9698]

@@yaniv8792 baby keem but he isnt bar heavy though

[@yaniv8792]

@@nish9698 most of what I've heard isn't really for me personally. I love the track 16 but not much else on the album was appealing to me. Definitely someone I'll continue to check out though in case he puts out any other tracks I get around. But I do see a lot of people liking him 🙂

[@nish9698]

@@yaniv8792 very reasonable opinion

[@williamdaniels4013]

THAT'S A PERFECT SUM UP OF HIS SKILLS. HIS BARZ ARE STRAIGHT UP THE INSTRUMENT. JAY-Z SAID THAT EXACT SAME THING ABOUT EMINEM'S FLOWS ALMOST TO THE POINT OF BEING A PERCUSSION OR INSTRUMENT J.I.D JZ FFFIIIRRREEE ☄☄☄🔥🔥🔥🌋🌋🌋 5MICS🎙🎤🎙🎤🎙 💯%

21 savage has improved so fkn much , I mean in this song he didn't need any adlibs to deliver a great verse

[@BILLIARDman2000]

no cap bro

[@austinkelly8140]

If you were to go back to the 16 cypher and tell me 21 would be the second best out of that group I woulda slapped you. He’s crazy now. The progression is crazy

[@makeit0pium599]

@@austinkelly8140e had the 2nd best verse tho

[@toestutch2962]

When your BARZ has BARZ followed up with BARZ within those BARZ, jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeZus, then you have one helluva impressive lyrical artist

[@nickratliff8062]

JID just floats over beats. Legendary flow. And the pen game to go with it. I CANNOT WAIT for the album. This feels like his moment

[@SabeelKhurram]

What’s even more special about 21’s last couple bars is him mentioning “Heckler & Koch” right before landing on “I’m invested in shots.” HK is a gun brand.

[@Kooaid-9]

You i noticed that probably means he got a whole lotta firepower 😂

[@NasXShady]

I think “sensory overload” was the perfect way to describe it lol

[@justgetitdone1406]

21 Savage and Dreamville together DONT MISS!

[@redmondsurvivor7222]

It’s a tall task taking on the Ms Fat Booty beat but damn JID killed this shit.

[@jouharasa]

the storytelling on ms far booty is crazy.... classic. This fire too tho

[@jouharasa]

@Gravy Talks Music pay attention to what I've said there , I wasn't referring to JID's track. I was just talking about Mos Def's Classic song

[@Jedi-Biggs]

Can we all take a moment to thank j Cole for the gift of JID?

[@laylareyes7733]

Oh wait what'd he do?

[@DrippinNyimi]

@@Jedi-BiggsThat’s nice and all but it’s really about where he came from, yk?

[@lndulging9328]

Every verse JID drops moves him closer to my top 5... he just has so many tools in his box. Honestly might be in my top 5 already.

[@tannerbrewer6685]

He's easily in my top 5 man

[@barrios5430]

When Jid talked about the big stick toward the end of the song, he's referencing Teddy Roosevelt's big stick diplomacy. "Speak softly, carry a big stick. You will go far." was Roosevelt's saying (and jid does just that - speaking softly and shit). Roosevelt's known for being the 1st U.S. president to take down monopolies.. who knows what jid go do with that big stick 🤔🤯

[@KingGeorgie]

U doing too much

[@r.c.p.3]

this is what we here for 💯

[@bradyzink687]

Hold on bro thats hard as fuck

[@infectouswolf7222]

That whole big fish/pool shark/Knock Chalk off cue balls was just insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@yelsnehb]

The “I’m an anomaly” bar sounds like it references Finding Nemo (when he would say anemone). I also think he might be taking a smooth shot at Coles LA Leakers freestyle where he talks about Bas being “next in line” when JID hits that “tell me a joke” bar.

[@spod823]

"I'm a- I'm a- I'm an- I'm an anomaly" reminds me of the Muppets song "Mah Na Mah Na" that might be what you were thinking of

[@ashleybrown4754]

Your reaction when JID starts is the exact reaction I had. The way that beat drops it's impossible to not feel that shit in your soul.

[@watty613]

Okay so the last couple lines when he says, “The same lil n****s small pond, but a pool shark. I aim, big stick, knock, chalk off cue balls,” he means a few different things. So obviously it’s a whole pool analogy, like pool/billiards. But when he says the “small pond” part, he means the oldhead haters that only hear themselves and their own opinions, thus the small pond. Obviously jid is the pool shark. Big stick is a double meaning for a cue stick and (obviously) gun. The chalk off cue balls has another double meaning because in pool you chalk up your cue stick then aim at the cue ball, so chalk would come off the cue ball once you hit it. The other meaning is he knocks off a cue ball (ie an old head as a cue ball is another word for a bald person) and to chalk them off is like a crime scene where the police surround a dead body with chalk (or chalk them off)

[@tristintoth]

Okay but look at how similar the build of surround sound and dance now are…. From starting with sample then going with hard beat then back to sample after a verse and then leads sounding British on dance now and having 21 on this one. That’s tough

[@natepugh9027]

Cant wait for the album... 2022 already lookin up.

The way you kept pausing it before the beat drop was very suspenseful lol And the beat drops pretty suddenly, so it's comedic how well you timed the pauses there.

[@BILLIARDman2000]

yall always been consistent and 100 with the uploads, yall deserve all the success

[@ttan715]

that intro 1 rhyme scheme got me 🤯

[@augustuschavez6216]

Maybe another little entendre with the “block line” “On your block” could be like “at your head” kind of like, “knocking your block off”

[@Helioglyph]

9:02 Don't know if it was intentional but I immediately thought of Digital Underground. It just sounded like a Shock G flow.

[@allthingsfootball255]

21 is the most improved rapper, besides Lil baby he got it for sho 🔥🔥
