They are definitely not lip syncing. I went to see them in Birmingham in the UK 2022. I have footage from the front row in the audience if you need further proof these guys are legit talented and very entertaining.
Love this guy. He’s obviously good at his craft and he’s still out here opening up and accepting everyone. He’s obviously one of those people who want others to do well. Get him back on
The line "I'll hurt him. One thing's for sure and two things for certain. Money gets made and the packs I'm servin'. He mess with the cake and I'll Battenberg him" is ONE OF THE HARDEST LINES EVER WRITTEN THAT WENT OVER EVERYONE'S HEAD: 1) Battenberg or Battenburg is a light sponge cake covered in marzipan which displays a distinctive two-by-two check pattern alternately coloured pink and yellow when cut in cross section. 2) "Cake" is slang for money, cocaine, and booty. HOWEVER, "white girl" is also slang for cocaine, the marzipan covering an actual Battenberg cake CAN BE WHITE and you know "booty" means both ass and pirate's loot/profit. 3) So, "he mess with the cake and I'll Battenberg him" FIRSTLY means: "he tries eating my white girl's cake; my white girlfriend's ass/booty and I'll slice and dice him" 4) "He mess with the cake and I'll Battenberg him" SECONDLY means: "He cuts a slice of the white girl/cake, the cocaine...." 5) "He mess with the cake and I'll Battenberg him" THIRDLY means: "He cuts a slice of the cake...." the booty being money this time. Cutting into profits. 6) Ambulances in the UK have a checkered pattern on them called "The Batternberg Pattern", and so, Pete means "I'm going to send whoever messes with the cake to the hospital" when he says "I'll Battenberg him" 7) As mentioned in the first point, the cake's name can interchangeably be spelled with "berg" or "burg". Yet, BOTH of these spellings add layers of meaning, as "Batt n' Berg" and "Batt n' Burg". 8) "Batt n' berg" = Batter and berg, "berg" meaning "put him on ice". 9) "Batt n' burg" = Batter and burg, "burg" meaning "burgle". So, he's going to beat the shit out of someone and presumably recover the stolen profits or product. 10) Pete ran a fighting ring, and so, "I'll Battenberg him" ties back to what he previously said: "I'll hurt him. One thing's for sure and two things for certain". Boxing gloves often have a checkered pattern on them, so he's going to give whoever messes with the cake "the ol' 1-2"/take them out with a 1-2 punch. 11) As I said in the 2nd point, "cake" is slang for money and "checkered cake" would mean dirty money (the money he made from the fighting ring), and so, Pete may use his dirty money to knock whoever messes with the cake out.
You see a few old fellas in a London pub talking like this. Don't take liberties. You can easily go to hands but after a few phone calls there are 10 car fulls looking for you fast. The respect is earned.
I am so impressed with the acceptance and love shown by the wider (particularly US) rap community. This is maybe the tenth P&B reaction video I’ve seen and without exception, you guys find your way from understandable disbelief to respect and appreciation for these amazing artists. You get only respect and love in return. It’s a beautiful thing when we can all be family.
@@RndmEmpire They do write it themselves, with help from their grandkids on certain slang and such. Bas used to be a music teacher and is a trained musician.
Mad props to these two real ones! They reacted impartially, as opposed to the short jealous guy you had who didn't believe anything he heard and saw. Masters 🐐 🐐
Yes the write their own shit. They've said before in interviews this is their most commonly asked question. They've said that they get words and inspiration from grandkids and then they use their own lingo from their time mixed in so it's a combo of both worlds. The only story of how they met that I've ever heard is also from an interview where one of them was talking about how the other is classicly trained as a musician and he heard him playing music out a window and went up to investigate and they talked and then hit it off and became friends.
@@domdadomdom_2733it's not miming kid they cut the beat ALOT when they get wheel ups and they keep spitting so stop riding because you can't spit like these gramps😂
The "seasoning" is the thought and effort thats put into it. You can feel it. Its like when food tastes better cause it was made with "love". The person who made it cared enough to put that extra effort in.
Pete was actually about that life. He was in gangs in the London burrows. Bas was recently released from prison a few years back. That's why he referred to Her Majesty's prison, which is an actual prison in the UK. They actually write their lyrics and their grandkids make the beats for them.
Bas is originally about the life as well. Bas’ dad was a unlicensed bareknuckle boxing promoter and Bas got involved with that, now that is where you meet the real London faces - proper OG organized crime faces
Whether they live the life or not they have the chemistry of people who have lived it but they also have a chemistry to go back and forth and have great rhythm and flow bars super creative bars but anybody can have a Ghost Rider but it takes a special person to perform it and bring it to life.. I'm actually glad that you brought that point up cuz I've been telling everybody that it's crazy to have that skill 💯
alot of british people in school, from 5 years old normaly gets lessons in poems. I remember my first poem, anyone here from the UK/Wales that always did poems in school ?
Perfect timing for this video my little brother just discovered jarren I’ve been a fan since grandmas basement putting him on game of some your classics jarren
I love Pete and Bas goes to show your never to old to learn new skills, Keeping on the UK vibe could you react to Harry Shotta - Animal he has amazing Bars.
To answer your question at the 8:20 mark, it's easy... Newer, more modern music was probably their only frame of reference. My pops tried rapping (not for real, just bullshittin around) in the 90s but yet still sounded like Kool Moe Dee, because early 80s hip-hop was the only rap music he was familiar with and therefore thought that's what rapping's supposed to sound like.
They definitely are a part of the writing process. Both are ex-cons from the old life. The world before the internet. They have their grandsons help them with modern slang as far as I’m aware but the bars are based on thier experiences and lives.
As far as I’ve researched on Pete and bas they were gangsters who went to jail and they both decided they wanted to rap in their 20s or 30s but they put it off for other things and finally in their 70s as old men with children and grandchildren they got into rap because of their grandchildren who put drill rap on in the car and when Pete asked bas if they ever did rap before he said something along the lines of “yeah I think we tried it when we were younger but we forgot about it” That concludes the story now as for their writing they both write their own stuff together I believe and if they need help with slang they ask their grandchildren but they don’t help Pete and bas with writing only help with newer slang words
The unawareness to call yourself a black horse fly is impressive!!! Didn’t think anyone could or would do this unironically but I am happy to be proved wrong.
Me being from South London and 44 I can tell they definitely have an influence on the lyrics at the very least because of the old white gangster slang, the younger G's just wouldn't know that much, trust me
It is 100% real, they write their own material and their grandkids assist with newer slang. they do live shows in the UK. Also, i think the "seasoning" you're referring to can be described as Rubato
I think longhorne shotgun is a song they definitely wrote I also think it's one of the best tracks I mean all the trucks are fire but I feel like longhornr shotgun was all of that work perfected. You also need to check out quick 1-2 Bas has a crazy rhyme scheme most young cats struggle with lol and general corner

Just a word from the UK!
Pete n Bas are og
That’s how you know Jarren has natural talent.. he’s got that ear for this! If he jumped on a track with Pete & Bas we could call them PB&J 🔥🔥🔥💪🏽😤
Eughhhhhhhhhhhh
yeah, no.
Guys, in JuanYE's defense, I could totally see Jarren using that as a joke in a music video. See "Nancy"
Not as a serious name though that's crazy
They are definitely not lip syncing. I went to see them in Birmingham in the UK 2022. I have footage from the front row in the audience if you need further proof these guys are legit talented and very entertaining.
Hella late comment and joking but you are wrong! It's obviously Randy from South Park. He is Lord, and Pete an Bas.

Hey , me too!!! London, March. Out of Wisconsin, US. Hoping it's💥
@@cloveless18 same, London. See you there! 🫱🏻🫲🏾

You'll love it. Their sets are FIRE. People who doubt them leave with their jaws on the floor.
I saw them last year Brixton academy! They went just as hard ! 🔥

Mate better than any rappers in uk madness better than Dave it’s mad 😂
thats actually fucking insane
based and schizo pilled me too man
also mr kipling cakes are delicious
This why I stick to crumpets with plain butter😂
Jarren is a beast . I love he got introduced to Pete and Bas.

They are good but also love the reaction. So funny.
PLEEEEASE react to more of their songs, with Jarren as a guest!!!!!!

Love Jarren and Pete & Bas
Yes they write their own shit yes they are fucking amazing live!!!
They rly do? I'm a fan, just wasn't sure. Thanks!
@@RndmEmpire They do write it themselves, with help from their grandkids on certain slang and such. Bas used to be a music teacher and is a trained musician.
There's a newspaper out there with a bit about Bas's father's illegal boxing ring being shut down. He was a bare-knuckle boxer in his youth.
Mad props to these two real ones! They reacted impartially, as opposed to the short jealous guy you had who didn't believe anything he heard and saw.
Masters 🐐 🐐
I need more of these blind reactions. I'll never get tired of their songs.
They are for real and about to have a tour in Europe.
They go hard and play live. They enjoying it fo sho

But it’s an act, voiceovers, stahp
@@domdadomdom_2733you can literally hear them performing the songs live and they sound the exact same way as they do recorded 🤨

Jarren is such a dope artist! It would be so amazing to hear him on a track with them
These two are my favorite so far. Man i wish to see them see next reacting something similar.
P&B imo are the top drill rappers of all time. No cap they do not miss ever on a bar. They write it all. This is old man strength at its peak.

Every prison in the UK is called HMP something. Just like all Naval ships are HMS something etc.

Boroughs, not burrows. Just in case people get confused
Pete and Bas chatting to everyone's Nans lol
This is all them writing it with help from their grandchildren. They grew up around the Kray brothers and have done time.
Proving without question that experience has real power and value…
That "seasoning" jarren is talking about is soul. Most people have no soul in their music because they aren't artists they're businessmen.
Much love Mr Benton great reaction
Theyve been doing it for years and they write themselves. They weren't like this in the start. But they absolutely killing it now.
Looking forward to this one mate love from Australia ♥️🇦🇺♥️🇦🇺♥️🤜🤛
More Jarren Benton, this dude is just made for reactions with his insight. So cool to hear
They both grew up in Peckham, South London. The didn’t know each other growing up, but from same urban working class environment.
For sure those dudes lived that life millwall hooligans and firm guys from way back, dope rappers for sure as well.
Second watch and still love it, thank you 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍
😂😂😂 My husband is almost 70 and still long and strong. Guys like them with the bodies they have I imagine still go strong 😂😂😂
Theres a video out of their history. I believe it said in the video that Bas used to be a mobster
Man dem. Check there plugged in with fumes, LEVELS!!!!
They were here in Stockholm, Sweden a couple of weeks ago. Sold out. Didn't get tickets. They're touring Europe now. 🤘🏼👴🏼😎
Jarron is right Ritz has sauce. 🔥🔥🔥. I like both him anb Jarron they are on my playlists.
Pete & Baz out there double dropping the blue chews.
Enjoyed the sesh returning again to watch
They just dropped - Pete and bas - Bish Bash Bosh
In the live concert its a sing along with the audience
Whether they live the life or not they have the chemistry of people who have lived it but they also have a chemistry to go back and forth and have great rhythm and flow bars super creative bars but anybody can have a Ghost Rider but it takes a special person to perform it and bring it to life.. I'm actually glad that you brought that point up cuz I've been telling everybody that it's crazy to have that skill 💯
Also please please look more into these guys they deserve the exposure
My buddy Tye opened for you here in Oregon a long time ago Jarren. You were a class act, and it’s remembered.
My man in the middle on a RUclips video reviewing songs and says he can’t verbalize 🤣
It’s def real. Their grand kids help with new slang but they do their writing recording and performing. One just got out of jail last year
alot of british people in school, from 5 years old normaly gets lessons in poems. I remember my first poem, anyone here from the UK/Wales that always did poems in school ?
This is super dope, top five favorite rapper in the building..The Bully!!
on tour RIGHT NOW.
My man of the right asking the right questions
Im a Gentleman but not a gentle man. These guys got it.
These dudes are real english gangsters and survived to retire. Now they just tellin their stories.
They are 100 percent legit
"What if they can't enjoy (their new found fame)"
Two words: Blue Chew
I think they're cadence is the word you want and I agree
Perfect timing for this video my little brother just discovered jarren I’ve been a fan since grandmas basement putting him on game of some your classics jarren
Pete and Bas write the lyrics, but they get help with slang from their family. These geezers were pretty serious players back in the day, I hear.
That is what I thought. Don't mess with these two. They are the real thing.
I love Pete and Bas goes to show your never to old to learn new skills, Keeping on the UK vibe could you react to Harry Shotta - Animal he has amazing Bars.
Bas did time in her majesty’s prison that’s the hmp line
Dude I fuckin LOVE Benton. I still play that Team Backpack cypher him, Cyhi and Joell Ortiz did together REGULARLY
Yes that Cypher is crazy!!!

Their grandkids are rappers. Pete and Bas write for themselves but they get help with the slang and some stylistic choices.
the comments around minute 10 got me flat out laughin 🤣💥

That concludes the story now as for their writing they both write their own stuff together I believe and if they need help with slang they ask their grandchildren but they don’t help Pete and bas with writing only help with newer slang words
I’m obviously not 100% right but that’s from watching interviews from them and some friends of them
The unawareness to call yourself a black horse fly is impressive!!! Didn’t think anyone could or would do this unironically but I am happy to be proved wrong.
6:11 it’s they’re not just rapping fast it’s multi’s complex bars with speed plus the seasonings
Miss you Jarren.. you and Rittz should do a song like this where you go back and forth
And yesssssss please get a colab with them
Listen bro with how successful these guys are and how much money they got the groupies gon find a way, they don't gotta worry about taking the pills 😭
They kick arse live!! They write it themselves but the grandkids pick the beat and give them some modern slang!!!
The brass knuckle bully himself. Love Jarren Benton
They do tours all over the UK…they write with the help of their grandchildren with the new slang….but they truly are just naturals at this point
Jarren Benton Best-in-Slot
No way! I used to listen to Jarren Benton, what a great collab
From what I'm learning is that they write their rhymes but will get help from their grandkids with the current lingo. They are legit though👍
H M P = her majestys prisons.
These guys done time.
Funnwhen you introduce people to pete n bas ❤

Skitzo makes a lotta sense now 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
It is 100% real, they write their own material and their grandkids assist with newer slang. they do live shows in the UK.
Also, i think the "seasoning" you're referring to can be described as Rubato
Jarron said “running circles around em” he needs to listen to “old estate” where they do run circles around m24
Omg who remembers Black Pegasus when he did the TeamBackPack cypher.
Beware of going down the P&B rabbit hole...THEY ARE FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥
Real shit. 🤣
Jarren is criminally underrated
Pete & Bas are legends. Welcome to the rabbit hole, my friends. Grab your bunny suits, it’s Wonderland in there!
Their chikcmen tastes like its got some seasoning accurately described what you were trying to say.
Seasonin' n' Sauce is proper
The story is they write 90% of it.Their grandkids help them with the lingo.

Great reaction 🔥
Did he say ya better hope this HP printer don’t jam!? Hard!
