"How do they expect musicians to stay afloat/when all our sales (sails) keep going down the stream" might be the most perfectly constructed bar of all time ✌️
@@YoungbloodPoetry especially as it ties in with the whole Titanic and Tidal scheme. Just brilliant. Also worth pointing out the "if you got a 2:1 but you ain't 3:2 you gotta graduate before you pass Wretch" bar all relates to our university system. When you do a degree here you either get a 1st, a 2:1, a 2:2 or a 3rd. So the whole scheme is around university/graduation but then obviously tieing in with his name (three-two). Hope that makes sense! Not an easy one to catch but another great double. Definitely check out Wretch's other fire in the booths and if you want something on a bit of a different vibe Harry Shotta's fire in the booths are really good, especially the newer one from about 6 years ago ✌️
A stop and rewind is a compliment in UK rap. You’re reaction and breakdown is brilliant. I really enjoy listening to all your UK reviews. Theyre always on point and many US reviews struggle to grasp it . Wretch is a brilliant lyricist.
Great reaction! Instant sub.Wretch and Avelino come from the same area - Tottenham North London ( as I) and Avelino is Wretch's protege and looks up to him. Old skool and the new skool who respect one another 😉 you have to check out mic righteous's fire in the booth's 1-4. They are all 🔥but my personal favorite it 4. Keep up the grind my guy 🙏🏾👊🏾💯

Just come across your channel , I'm from the UK and your reactions are excellent, you bring a level of experience rarely seen on other channels. I'm intrigued with you dropping on our UK rappers as I feel they have been under represented in the US until recently. We have some absolute fire here in the UK and rap with a purpose is valued in certain circles. Looking forward to your forthcoming reactions. I'd also like to provide a foundational list of UK based fire below (This is not an exhaustive list, just some clear high level talent, and I can see you have covered some of them) which exemplifies the level of UK rappers. Lowkey - Ghosts of Grenfell (Look up the Grenfell disaster before viewing to get the context of the one of the worst loss of life from fire on the UK mainland) Wretch 32 & Avelino - Fire in the Booth (Wretch 32 one of the best wordsmiths going, Avelino was very much his apprentice and has come through as something special) Wretch 32 - Fire in the Booth Part 5 (All Wretch 32's FITB's are excellent, but Part 5 is off the charts in double and triple meaning bars) Swiss - Daily Duppy (Swiss was in a large rap group in the 2000's called So Solid Crew, man is a Barbarian, bars will twist your head) Kano - Fire in the Booth (Kano is an OG Grime man, this is done all in one take and easily top three FITB) George the Poet - I Need (Maverick Sabre Live Lounge Version) - (Great insight into the situation in the UK for many Black youths) Kate Tempest - Europe is Lost (Live on KEXP) - (Something different but excellently performed and perfectly describes the shit show in the UK currently) Little Simz - Introvert (Little Simz is one of the best rappers at the moment, Introvert is a recent release and theatrical cinematic, strong pen game) Little Simz - Venom (Demonstrates the sheer professionalism of Simz) Big Narstie - Fire in the Booth Part 3 (Big Narstie is a Grime artist in the UK and propped up the Grime scene even when it popularity wained but is back stronger that ever now) Avelino - Daily Duppy GRM Daily (Avelino has some of the strongest bars with double and triple meaning throughout, Outstanding) Lowkey - Fire in the Booth Part 2 (Lowkey is a conscious rapper and comments the realities in the UK and the corruption of Government) Dave - Lesley (Dave speaks about such an important subject hear, Dave's whole album Psychodrama is amazing) Mic Righteous FITB Parts 1,2,3,4 (Mic gets better and better and you get a feel for his progression throught these performances, particularly his battle with mental health, If you like Akala you will lover Mic Righteous) Dave - Bl@ckbox S6 Ep 24/65 (Dave is only 16 here and give a performance straight from the heart about his brother being locked up under a joint enterprise crime which is where the government are locking up people even if they didnt actually commit the crime but were connected int he slightest of ways) Dave - Freestyle LA Leakers - Dave kills is with more passion and a good few years after Blackbox Hope you have a look at the rappers/performances on this list, I'm so proud of the level these guys operate at in the UK, they are life affirming performances that change you after listening to them.

RE the graduate bar: in the UK the grades at college are 3rd, 2:1 and First, hence if you aint got a 2:1 or you aint 32 you gotta graduate before you pass Wretch. Wretch's wordplay is like 5 levels deep sometimes.
Just watched Dave - Black, that brought me here. Wretch 32 is a beast. Just noticed u done Akala I'm off there now cos he's another beast and underrated
Avelino - Four Seasons Freestyle (Summer Edition) Wretch 32 - Daily Duppy S:03 EP:01 #Redemption [GRM Daily] Wretch 32 X Avelino - Young Fire, Old Flame Freestyle Avelino - Cassius Clay (Official Video) ft.

I caught a bar I wanted to share. at 15:35 Wretch says " How do they expect musicians to stay afloat when all our sales keep going down the stream" . Going down the stream as in going down in numbers but also going down the stream as in streaming services (Spotify etc). Great reaction 👍
YoungBlood Wretch 32 has the Dreds and is about to give FIRE IN THE BOOTH a schooling on how to spit bars on another level . Big shout out to you and fellow Fire in the booth Fans from England . 🎧🎶🎙🎶🎧
Everytime I see and hear this, I'm awestruck. The Jay z reference was killer and I'm not sure if you missed it because of the pause, but like you said, soooo many bars.
I like the "So if you ain't got a 2-1, or you ain't 3-2, you gotta graduate before you pass Wretch" because an A 21 is a university level Qualification/degree here(I think) Soyou have to be real smart to pass Wretch
Hey you've never heard someone rap on that beat because it is not a rap beat. It's a song called "The Intro" for the album of an alt rock band named The XX. Keep up the work bro, love your content!!
12:45. He's biggin up Kendrick and Cole but............... Wretch's real name is also Jermaine... King Wretch(ed) Jermains cold..... He's saying he's a beast
Great reaction 👍 Check out Kano Fitb or Kano made in the manor album! Defo react to K Koke fire in the booth - The UK guys will be watching to see if you pick up in that Fire in the booth 👀
Please please check out Wretch 32 daily duppy Redemption, he has a few as does Avelino but Redemption is my favorite you will love the platform its shorter but the editing is insane it gives you graphics that help. decipher the bars
Wretch uses Jay-Z album and song titles to good effect. Blueprint and Reasonable Doubt being the albums, Change Clothes being a single and Watch the Throne was the collaboration album with Kanye.
"How do they expect musicians to stay afloat/when all our sales (sails) keep going down the stream" might be the most perfectly constructed bar of all time ✌️
I know right!!! I missed it until someone pointed it out to me in the comments. Just amazing. Wow
