Did you ever do Ghetts - Conflict of Interest? Because honestly its a masterpiece. We been spoilt this year. EDIT: Just got to the bit where you said you HAVEN'T LISTENED TO IT? It's a masterpiece please do it!
If you started the album at midnight when it was released, the song Twenty to One starts at 12:40, twenty to one. “Look at the time it’s twenty to one”. Yes Dave, it fucking is.
Dave is simply an artist that knows how to paint his canvas and creates art that is simply a masterpiece. Yet he is only 23 years old. It's just amazing to witness...absolutely true or absolute facts?
And not only that create a canvas that he hasn’t himself lived in, he can take in someone else’s experience and make it his own and then make u feel and understand it- Best storyteller the uk has ever had and it’s not even close
9:17 That bar is insane. The part before it: So he’s saying he’s playing with swords, not a gun, and relating to Blaszczykowski. Blaszczykowski witnessed his mum get stabbed to death by his dad. Then a “Ronin” is a samurai who grew up woth no master. A ronin also carries “2 swords”. So, cos he grew up without his mum, and no dad cos he was in prison for life, Dave talks about him as a “Ronin”. This guy is insane.
Heart Attack is the song of the year and I love how at the end he just goes acapella like the beat just goes "i give up, I cant hang with him anymore". Fucking masterful unbelievable tune and frankly we are lucky to be living in a time when music like this is being made
When you realise the album dropped at midnight and 40 minutes into the listen Dave tells you to "look at the time it's 20 to 1". Slickness and wittiness is too easy for him man
I can see Dave really taking the piss with little Easter eggs like that as he continues to improve like Kendrick did on To Pimp. A Butterfly, just putting in little things related to Tupac that foreshadow the ending of the album
"Watch game delicate tutankhamun there's money in skeletons" Skeletons as in the watches. Skeletons as in tutankhamun buried in his riches. Skeletons as in people who have been killed on the streets. Crazy.
I agree 100 percent. Even as someone from America, I can say as well that no one in America (topping the charts) close or at his age is anywhere nearrr his level
Fucking love Dave man. He really defines the word "artist". And when I met him, he was one of the most genuine people I ever met. Guys the same age as me, it's fucked. My question is.... How many fucking books does this man read? LMAO he's citing shit like Shakespeare, referring to all sorts of mythology, etc. It's insane what this guy can do
Bout to blow your mind. Dave - Drama: "Do you believe that I Can illustrate what Sreatham is, then break the fourth wall and base Leslie on my relatives" I presume you've heard Leslie? that bar made me question everything when he said Commas Inverted!!
Mate, I was listening to this at the gym this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it, although felt like an emotional wreck listening to Heart Attack whilst trying to do reps on a machine, must've looked a mess!
Heart attack is just so special. Makes me feel so emotional, from the subject matter of the track to the call back and growth from panic attack. It’s perfect as far is I’m concerned and may now be my new favourite Dave track.
A reaction could never be worthy of this album but this is as close as you can get. So raw and honest, super reaction for one of the best records ever released
It’s quite easy to be proud of being British when your small country managed to have such a impact on the world and accomplished so much for its citizens in that time
In Drama, Dave said “Do you believe that I can illustrate what Streatham is then break the fourth wall and base Lesley on my relatives?” On Heart Attack, Dave said “I was in intensive care when I was born, mommy fell down the stairs. Whether I was gonna live or not was somethin' uncertain. I used the word "Fell", with the commas inverted.” Lesley is based on his mother. That’s mad.
Fr got me so excited when each feature came on. Was really expecting more after the first 4 such as j hus young Teflon but can’t complain was a masterpiece
@@lb61936 yeah I was surprised that there was no j hus on the album to be honest, but the initial feeling when the features just kept on coming was so good :)
@@euanpirt2594 yep at the time it was the best to listen to of them all . Shame about hus but he’s already said that Dave will be on his album so we will get a collab from them
I won’t lie, this album passed over me the first time I heard I just thought it was okay. But I relate to this album so much. As a son of a Nigerian immigrant who is also a nurse parts of this album was genuinely hard to listen to because of how close it hit home. Thanks Dave
Dave operates on a higher level. The lyricism, the intelligence, the storytelling. He's more than a rapper; he's a poet. The best out there right now by a country mile. It ain't even close.
@@michaelshearer5880 his last album was great, and the fact it was 4 years ago affects nothing. Also let’s not act like Dave has anything as good as TPAB and GKMC
Dave has hands down my favorite album of the year thus far. I played "Heart Attack" in the car with my lady and she started tearing up and asked me "Who is this and can I give him a hug?" The pain in Dave's voice on that song is raw and pure, and that song hits you in the heart (no pun intended).
Always love these reactions, You simply just get it. Not intrusive, yet informative, Not over the top, yet Emotional. Most people gloss over the music and just watch it for "views" etc you watch what you enjoy and it shows. Keep these coming Jon!
Sorry but the triple entendre here is too genius for us, Fuck a Gun Charge, 2 swords I'm a [W]Ronin, Blaszczykowski, I'm tryna score with the Polish Wronin is a city in Poland. but a Ronin is also a samurai Blaszczykowski is a Polish football player, Score (a goal) or shoot a gun (Pole). He's too clever for us

First off absolutely love watching you react Jon it’s truly a blessing to watch you react to something like this, when you listen to something this good & it moves you so much it’s lovely to see. secondly we all as fans of Dave and rap music need to appreciate just how special this young man is, 23 and he’s this tuned in to the world around him what’s going on in the world & just how great of an ear he has for music. He’s by far the best rapper lyricist & storyteller this country has ever seen going across all genres of music not just rap and one of if not the best rapper out there in the world, that’s including everyone in America and I mean everyone it’s not close really in my opinion he’s just better than all of them. Nobody does it like Dave does. This album is a masterpiece and will win countless awards and be spoken about for years to come. 2 albums down in to his career and there both special special records. Cannot wait to see how far this young man can go moving forward it’s actually scary to think what he’s gonna be like in 5/10 years if he’s still making music. Fav tracks are - in the fire, heart attack, we’re all alone, survivors guilt & both sides of a smile.
I dont even wanna see the Ghetts reaction for me, i want to see it for YOU. Its unspeakable masterful Conflict Of Interest is, unlike anything you heard
Just a bit of advice for next time When taking in an album it’s important to listen to the pre released singles aswell. They can sound different and hit different when listened to in the context of an album. Even songs you don’t expect.
As a guy from Switzerland where only really US rap is popular, I had never heard of Dave before watching the BRITs a couple days ago. I remember cheering for ‘30’ winning Best Album. When Dave won best Rap Artist, I was confused as I didn’t know anything about it. Then came ‘… In The Fire’ and I had shivers all over my body. One of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. Today I listened to this Album and honestly still can’t believe what I just heard. Absolutely insane, generational talent, an Album for the ages. I take back saying ‘30’ is the clear cut Album of the Year. ‘We’re all in this together’ is it. It’s the Album of the Decade for me and we’re only in 2022. I could go on and on but I’m gonna stop here. Thanks for the reaction Jon, killed it as always. UK rap just got a new fan, I’m out.
I've listened to this album all the way through about 30 times, and every time I clock something I hadn't before. 23 years old, the same age as me. The guy is absolutely insane. I appreciate your genuine reactions so much, times where you were speechless and other times when you were emotional. It's just a masterpiece.
That bar hit so much for me being somali and seeing all my somali friends groomed into selling drugs and having a couple of them die this shit is so fucked man
Both Sides of a Smile & Heart Attack take Dave onto to another level from any UK artist. He has gone from making amazing songs to making art. Album of the year for sure.
I’ve known about Psychodrama for a long time but never listened and from the Stormzy single that dropped I wasn’t interested in hearing the album but holy shit this is totally different from what I thought it would be. Thank you for this reaction cause this made me change my mind this man can spit like crazy.
@@tremell7559 cause at the time when I knew about it, I wasn’t as open to other sounds as I am now. So I think I knew it was a UK Rap album and I just wasn’t ready to give it a chance ig. And the reason I haven’t listened now since I am open to anything now is that nobody was really recommending it to me anywhere so I just never thought of listening to it
“I had dreams of doing architecture, or sitting through a Harvard lecture, how’d I end up being Harvey Specter.” Dave needs so much more credit, ridiculous talent.
@@aidanLVbeats I understand. I like the styrtelling part of psychodrama and all the classic bangers, but Dave showed improved skills on WAAITT imo. Psychodrama is probably the best album ever made, but I still think this album has a lot of improvements over psychodrama. Dave just keeps levelling up📈
This is the best album I’ve heard since his last album santan is a goat 🐐 at 23 this album blows anything close out of the water love the work Jon love from glasgow u should do a throwback listen to gangstarr
Definitely do Conflict of interest. On 1st listen my thought was, "That's the difference between putting out an album and crafting an album" It's a masterpiece.
He’s been my favourite artist since I first heard his blackbox 5/6 years ago, he’s just different to everyone. An unbelievable human who deserves every bit of success he gets, I’m honoured to be listening to him and the album is a masterpiece.
31:45 Think this means Leslie was about his mum which I said at the time of psychodrama because in drama he says smthn like "broke the fourth wall and based leslie on my relatives"
The audacity of people saying this project is a drop off from the level of Psychodrama. People really don't want to see you achieve success beyond what they think you deserve in their minds! This is a classic album with about 3 cuts made for the mainstream and social settings.
An honour and a privilege to be able to hear this for the first time on camera, with you guys.
Unbelievable album. We all cried Jon
If you played the album right at 12am when it dropped. You would have heard "twenty to one" at exactly 20 minutes to 1am
Yes yes yes, please react to ghetts album ,would be awesome
Did you ever do Ghetts - Conflict of Interest? Because honestly its a masterpiece. We been spoilt this year.
EDIT: Just got to the bit where you said you HAVEN'T LISTENED TO IT?
It's a masterpiece please do it!

Heart Attack is the song of the year and I love how at the end he just goes acapella like the beat just goes "i give up, I cant hang with him anymore". Fucking masterful unbelievable tune and frankly we are lucky to be living in a time when music like this is being made
He did the same on Panic Attack a few years ago, and this just sounds like a better sequel to that song
I know I'm late but I think the beat is the heart beat and in the end it stops
It’s his mother at the end that gives me literally gives me whole body chills
That cry at the end of Heart Attack. That's the realest moment I've ever heard in a studio album.
Forreal, Im super late I know but man that was haunting

Dave is a phenom. However he’s not stupid enough to go at Chip. Chip is built different when it comes to sending.
Chip just pissed that Stormzy keeps sending indirects on features, cus Stormzy knows he can't go against Chip
Dave can just create an atmosphere like no one else can. You feel like you’re in the studio with him while he’s telling you these stories
So impressed by Dave, competing for album of the year AGAIN
I think he has to of won it i doubt there will be many more complete albums like that not only this year but for the next 5 he is an insane artist 🔥

Thanks for the reaction Jon, killed it as always. UK rap just got a new fan, I’m out.
In the fire has me shook the whole way through it 🔥
I've listened to this album all the way through about 30 times, and every time I clock something I hadn't before.
23 years old, the same age as me. The guy is absolutely insane.
I appreciate your genuine reactions so much, times where you were speechless and other times when you were emotional. It's just a masterpiece.
the second part of of two sides of a smile is probs daves best ever song ever. Three rivers and the first part of the song shows him levelling up.
Dave is comfortably the best artist in the uk he can do it all and he’s better then majority of the us artists !!
Will love to see a Dave x J Cole collab just imagine
somali dad just ran away from war. now his sons in a war, that’s the cycle we’re in
That bar hit so much for me being somali and seeing all my somali friends groomed into selling drugs and having a couple of them die this shit is so fucked man
I almost get emotional listening to this. We’re witnessing the early stages of a rap legend. 🔥🤯
The ghetts reaction is for sure needed
Both Sides of a Smile & Heart Attack take Dave onto to another level from any UK artist. He has gone from making amazing songs to making art. Album of the year for sure.
I’ve known about Psychodrama for a long time but never listened and from the Stormzy single that dropped I wasn’t interested in hearing the album but holy shit this is totally different from what I thought it would be. Thank you for this reaction cause this made me change my mind this man can spit like crazy.
How do you know about a Classic album that got top honors and never listened?
@@tremell7559 cause at the time when I knew about it, I wasn’t as open to other sounds as I am now. So I think I knew it was a UK Rap album and I just wasn’t ready to give it a chance ig. And the reason I haven’t listened now since I am open to anything now is that nobody was really recommending it to me anywhere so I just never thought of listening to it
@@_.HENRY319 I "recommend" you listen to all of his prior work from the mixtapes to the loose cuts! YW
@@tremell7559 I have a lot of shit to get through but I think Imma just add Psychodrama to the list for rn
Heart attack feels like a whole movie
Conflict of interest Ghetts man! You’ve just said it yourself it needs to be done 👍🏼
“I had dreams of doing architecture, or sitting through a Harvard lecture, how’d I end up being Harvey Specter.” Dave needs so much more credit, ridiculous talent.
Dave the 🐐 fr watching this was like watching my English teacher going thru every line of Macbeth ❤️😂
Santan really topped Psychodrama. Man’s the definition av GOAT🐐🌪
for me, psychodrama >
@@aidanLVbeats I understand. I like the styrtelling part of psychodrama and all the classic bangers, but Dave showed improved skills on WAAITT imo. Psychodrama is probably the best album ever made, but I still think this album has a lot of improvements over psychodrama. Dave just keeps levelling up📈
“My OG’s roaming (ROMAN) I don’t need a call-to-see-him (COLOSSEUM) - elite ✍🏽🥵🤯
Look into the Błaszczykowski bar, JD. The meaning behind it is mad!
We definitely need a reaction to that ghetts project Jon
37 MINUTE REACTION! I've been waiting for this!
I like this a lot
Bonus fact: if you listened to the album from its release at midnight, you would have listened to Twenty to One at exactly 12:40… levels 🤯🤯
Only if u skipped clash tho (which most people probably did)
Yes definately do the ghetts album. Amazing song with dave there.
The only song I skipped was clash, everything else was fire. Amazing album
I reckon clash was a banger, but it's fine to have opinions.
@@James-jv7sp clash is a banger, but it doesnt fit with the rest of the album
@@James-jv7sp no he skipped because it was already out so he didn’t want to listen to it again
I hated clash first listen now I love it
Clash is good, would have been better if Stormzy would stop sending indirects on his features
Yes please with the ghetts album reaction, it’s another masterpiece
Stunning reaction to a stunning masterpiece 👊🏾🔥🔥🔥🖤
Thank you 🙌
After 8 months this is definitely the best album of the year.
can u tell me where your pfp is from? ive seen a few people with it but i never knew the context :D
This is the best album I’ve heard since his last album santan is a goat 🐐 at 23 this album blows anything close out of the water love the work Jon love from glasgow u should do a throwback listen to gangstarr
thank you Jon Denton for trying to formulate the feelings we get when listening to this album - you're the best at it
Definitely do Conflict of interest.
On 1st listen my thought was, "That's the difference between putting out an album and crafting an album"
It's a masterpiece.
He’s been my favourite artist since I first heard his blackbox 5/6 years ago, he’s just different to everyone. An unbelievable human who deserves every bit of success he gets, I’m honoured to be listening to him and the album is a masterpiece.
31:45 Think this means Leslie was about his mum which I said at the time of psychodrama because in drama he says smthn like "broke the fourth wall and based leslie on my relatives"
That’s an insane catch if true and easily could still be but in Lesley it’s defo implied it’s her first baby but Dave has 2 older brothers
@@ziggythetortoise4237 isn’t it about domestic abuse against women in general?
you should deffo listen to meekz
The audacity of people saying this project is a drop off from the level of Psychodrama. People really don't want to see you achieve success beyond what they think you deserve in their minds! This is a classic album with about 3 cuts made for the mainstream and social settings.
