![[American Ghostwriter] Reacts to: Pete & Bas- Plugged in W/Fumez The Engineer- MUST WATCH](/img/tr.png)
"Box. Rectangle. Dashed in the ground all bruised and mangled. Grim. Grab the cup, pass the Gin. Grab the Lime, chopped it up. Popped the cap, poured it in."
This bar is so good and I feel like everyone's missing the hidden meaning. A rectangular box in the ground is a coffin, but the victim is too grim looking for a burial. Quicklime is used by criminals to dispose of bodies, which are usually chopped up first, so that they decompose faster. So they popped the cap on the bottle of quicklime and poured it in to hide the evidence.
Savage catch, bro!
well shit that is a killer bar that flew past me hahaha
Thank you so much. Ever since this dropped, I've been trying to figure out this line because I knew there was something there!
"he mess with the cake and I'll Battenberg him"
Battenberg is a cake with a checkerboard pattern inside made by cutting it up into sections, and it's also the name of the colored markings on ambulances/emergency vehicles in the UK and other countries, so he's using it as a verb in a novel way to mean both 'cut into sections' and 'send to the hospital.'
fire
such a great line.
This line blew my mind. Then the Kipling line after. Who tf references Uk cakes and biscuits to tell you there getting violent?
@@bjornitto Bas also references Betty Crocker which is an American cake mix
that's a bar
I love how Bas stands at the mic as if he's kinda awkward but then spits the bars like a maestro 🔥
I mean hes abog asa awkward dude. Like i believe him when he says he gonna hurt him.. like im pretty sure he knows what hes saying from like experience… he said that shit with conviction, that man only knows violence…
They 100% write their own lyrics, but their granchildren help them out with some of the younger slang words. Pete got into the UK Drill music because his granchildren listened to it, and then he got Bas into listening to it...so they know whats going on in the UK Drill scene...hence why they take a lot of shots in their raps
how i look at it. If they can flow like that at that age, who's to say they cant write bars at that age. The flow alone is insanity.
@@18xDJHx Right? If anything I would doubt more that old guys like that can flow than be good at creative writing.
@@Mrsuperdestroyer exactly what I’m saying
Facts
They're OG's too, apparently they have ties to the Kray and Richardson gangs.
The bar i keep seeing people miss is "Had a dream like Martin Luther, fell asleep to the sound of the Hoover"
J Edgar Hoover had a personal vendetta against MLK and many people say Hoover had MLK killed, and that his FBI covered it up. So he had a dream, and then he died at the sound of a Hoover.
This!!! Been thinking it too, guess people don’t study history.
also a double in that hes saying hes been out all night touching home like a wifi router and falling sleep to his wife vacuuming in the morning
w o w🤯
Also "...Hoover. Nightmare..."
Hoovers Nightmare was the book about Hoover including his supposed time working against MLK.
He didn't just kiss! He kissed the curb. He finished the sentence for his friend
YES! No one ever picks it up!! They always pause right before!! Also “change my suite like Ben” and his friend says “10/10” like the cartoon Ben 10 the kid that has the watch that he can morph into whatever alien he wants whenever he wants.
Yeah people keep missing the handovers. They are double triple ripple and quadruple entendring. It’s nuts.
Part of me says that 2 old geezers can’t be putting this together. It’s Shakespeare-Esqe inventive levels.
3:00 - This is definitely their most technical song to date, both brought the SSS game.
100% bar after bar. Cadence rhythm, it’s just pure fire
Best duo since Method and Red....the way these 2 complement each other is insane!!
how high 3?
@@WHADATBOYNAMEIS Best. Collab. EVER!!😅🤣 I'd watch it!!
@@WHADATBOYNAMEIS hahahahahahahagahagagahaha that would be brilliant
"I dodged the case so flipped the bird" so hes giving the middle finger to the law here but also the double meaning of "bird" as in "doing bird" is english slang for doing time in prison, so he flipped the bird - avoided doing time in prison.
Exactly
Also "flipping a bird" is slang for selling a key of yayo its a triple
The intricacies in these lyrics are insane big up
"they wanna kick back cos the boots are clean"
kick back, like putting your feet up, and you wear boots
BUT ALSO he's been talking about cleaning out the boot of his car in the past verses in the song! Insane
Also a kickback is an extra bit of a deal that a person would get for completing the task - eg the boot being empty of product
Who TF is saying his name is pronounced "Base"? They don't know what they're talking about. Bas is short for Basil (which in England is pronounced "Bazzle", not "Bayzul" like in the US). So the abbreviation of his name is pronounced as Baz (with a Z). That's how he says it himself (and he knows how to pronounce his own name!).
Bas is short for Barry brother.
@@buckleycorp1977 Wrong. Go look at their Wikipedia page.
@@buckleycorp1977 lol so wrong
🤣 damn how you take it so personal or get defensive over that I'll never know but I know that you know theres different accents or expressions that other people that are not from there wouldn't know how to pronounce it or whatever. So there's a lot fkin people that's butchering pronunciations lol
I in the song with Fumes, Pete said his name and it sounds a bit more like the fish Bass
His name is Basil. Short 'a', with the 's' sounding close to a 'z'. the Windowframe Cyphers are a trip.
Small thing about "Fall asleep to the sound of a Hoover" Hoover here has two meanings. The obvious one is the Hoover Vacuum. Also the "Hoover Sound" is the popular synthesizer sound from early rave techno days. Both Chicago and UK Drill are highly influenced by those early rave sounds.
ur missing a big one , I had a dream like Martin Luther king, who was supposedly killed by the CIA who was ran by j edger hoover.
@@finnmarr-heenan2397 Oh shit! Now that fucking dope. Thanks for pointing that out.
Also, Martin Luther King was assassinated by the FBI which was being run by J Edgar Hoover
Also, J. Edgar Hoover was the head of the FBI during the time of MLK.
Documents show the FBI was harassing, surveilling, and threatening MLK during this time. So "sleep to the sound of the Hoover" leads into the nightmare theme of Freddy.
@@samdoesstuff5193 bruh that j Edgar bar went over EVERYONES HEAD INCLUDING MINE 🤯
I've listened to a lot of there stuff, imo they 💯 write there own bars, lots of stuff goes over reactor's heads, stuff from back in 80s and early 90s especially, I've heard them use Irish language, talk about cooking crack, growing weed referencing strains that haven't been about for nearly 30 years, use old skool gangster lingo, if they have a ghost writer they're the same age! Younger generation just wouldn't know about lots of the stuff.
What’s the word.. the bird is the word. It’s like a triple entendre.
If you know UK slang and pop culture, they’re even more incredible. Every other line has a double or triple meaning.
Michelin is a tire company, but also the five-star rating system used for restaurants.
Mr. Benn was a character on a kids tv show from the 1970’s. He would change into various clothes in his walk-in closet and then step out into whatever time/place/scenario his costume dictated.
Bas picked up on that and started his next line with “Tin-Tin”, which was another UK kids show from the time.
Battenberg is a cake made in a checkerboard pattern … but also slang for an ambulance (because of the checkered pattern on the side). “Mess with the cake and I’ll Battenberg him” is a phenomenal bar.
Knock Down Ginger is what we call “Ding Dong Ditch” here in the States.
Mash = gun (in another one of their songs, Bas says he’s “banging that mash like English Breakfast”, which is just brilliant because “bangers and mash” is a traditional breakfast in the UK.)
Ben Sherman = men’s clothing line (a bit dated, LOL)
HMP = Her majesty’s prison
Chain hang like bollocks = his chains are so heavy they swing like his balls. 😂
Cone get split like Chevron = splitting your head open like the V in the Chevron symbol
Also … Bas used to be a bare knuckle fighter in the day and I forget which gang Pete ran with. The stuff they rap about … pig farms, bodies in the trash and cementing people into buildings is straight mob shit.
I love these guys. They make my heart smile every day. They also scare the crap out of me because I’m pretty sure they’re serious.
😂😂😂
"Mr. Benn was a character on a kids tv show from the 1970’s. He would change into various clothes in his walk-in closet and then step out into whatever time/place/scenario his costume dictated."
Also maybe ben 10 to the newer cartoon where ben could transform into different forms depending on the scenario
My favorite is the "I'll hurt him, blank bar, one things for sure, two things for certain is in reference to the flow of that particular line. the first lyric is one and a break and the second is a two-bar link.
Also in the Lutheran church, the communion is a biscuit that is dipped so that links the christening line too!
Also, on the "Mr Ben" line. It was just after the Michelin, food/tyre ref. Mr Ben, is also a popular source brand in the UK as well as your reference.
See a lot of these weird posts on RUclips lately....generally credible, with one outrageous lie thrown in for funsies.
Bangers and mash for breakfast? Now I've heard it all....
@@idiostylze The mash reference here is about a cup of tea. So it's a complex web of puns, the mash referring to a gun and tea, the breakfast theme tying the frying (killing), bangers (more guns), tea together - it's a really great line.
@@dylanmonaghan3342I love that the drip from the glistening watch like a Christian Christening bit references fashion, religion but also blood dripping after an assault. Referencing the bar that came before about stuffing some guy into the boot of his jag
This is mental love it they bounce of each other so well
They were interviewed and stated they write everything themselves, they use their grandkids to help with production. your reactions and breakdowns are great, keep it up
The gran kids help with production and modern slang. But yes they write everything and only have help with the modern UK slang from the grandkids. These 2 hard as heck and spit flames. I legit been in love since i learned of them in my quiet part of the USA 4 months ago.
Regardless of wether they write or not, the way they pop off each other is qaulity, pete n baz keepin it real for the oap's 👌🔥
Every reaction for this track misses the Betty Crocker cake mix line at the top.
That break down Crocker and bet he (Betty) Line was crazy
This one is a damn masterclass and 91's beat switches are absolutely mental. Obviously the question of authenticity arrives but the tracks themselves are nasty no matter what. I suspect they do write because they use so, so much weird esoteric old British geezer stuff. Also Bas WAS a music teacher so I have a feeling he does a lot of guiding there.
what did he teach? I wouldnt be surprised if he knows how to do circular breathing like a brass player considering his flows sometimes
They use references that it’s not possible for young kids to know. Their references span nearly 40 years including modern slang
@@ostrichman I believe he was a piano teacher. They all talked about this stuff on No Jumper, too. Norman Pain was a drama teacher, believe it or not.
I heard bas has been in music his whole life. He played Jazz back in the day (makes sense), taught music and even worked on cruise ships performing and such. He has been in music his whole life, as told by the internet so not 100% sure but that's what articles about them state.
Thanks for more Pete and Bas!!!! Love it 😀
The "flip the bird" line could also relate to prison time as that is known as doing bird in the UK.
I gotta say, there's a fire reference that I never see anyone mention and it's when Pete says "switching suits like I'm Mr. Ben" then Bas immediately following that with "10/10" ...but nobody's appreciating the Ben10 show shoutout!
Never heard of the show 🤷♂️ ❤️
@@CliffBeatsOfficial Ben10 was (or maybe still is) a cartoon franchise where a kid (Ben) was able to transform into a bunch of different aliens based on what the situation called for.
this is also a double meaning line- Mr. Ben is an old British kids show where the titular Mr. Ben switches outfits to get into various situations and learn about various jobs.
Just picked up the whole war scheme too, from german, to sherman and serving, bruhhh insane
They are killing this crazy beat 💯🔥👏❤️✊💪😎
I’ve been sleeping on these two. They are fire! I am in awe. I love your reaction and your breakdown. The UK slang is tough for this American to catch everything so I appreciate any little bit of lyrical breakdown.
Idk if anyone will see this but when he’s says, “I’m lit, candle, grab the bing and wax them from various angles… box… rectangle” he’s playing on the angle bar but also describing a coffin. Unfucking believable
Wtf bro where the hell did these guys come from there both insane on the mic. Loved your reaction to it. My guy. 💯💯🔥🔥
Even the first line is killer. ".... I''m a Luger." He's referring to a German Luger (Handgun from WW2). Every track from Pete & Bas has so many layers.. It's insane
Old skool but I still bust shots I'm a luger .
Wow I didn’t think this was going to be that good of a rap but wow
The opening verse has a WW2 scheme. Each bar last words.
Luger - a German semi-automatic pistol used by German soldiers in ww2.
Uber - Über is a German language word meaning over and above.
Wi-fi - George Antheil, born to German immigrants in Trenton, New Jersey. In 1941, Antheil developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes in ww2 to synchronize frequency changes, referred to as frequency hopping, between the transmitter and receiver. It is one of the spread spectrum techniques that became widely used in modern telecommunications. Antheil's work helped with the creation of Wi-Fi.
Puma - a German sports brand founded by Rudolf Dassler in 1948. He was a member of the Nazi party.
Fall asleep to the sound of the Hoover - in ww2 when enemy planes were near and about to start dropping bombs. Air raid sirens would alert people to take cover/shelter. The siren sounded like a hoover (vacuum cleaner). Fall asleep meaning dying to the sound of the siren (hoover) as bombs landed.
Krueger - a German surname. Also Walter Kruger a Nazi SS General in ww2.
Martin Luther - a 16th-century German monk and reformer whose efforts to reform the theology and practices of the Catholic Church launched the Protestant Reformation.
Martin Luther was the most widely read author of his generation.
The prevailing view among historians is that his rhetoric contributed significantly to the development of antisemitism in Germany and of the Nazi Party.
Tuna - HMS Tuna (N94) was a T-class submarine of the Royal Navy during ww2.
USS Tuna (SS-203) was a United States Navy Tambor-class submarine, serving in the Pacific during ww2.
I love these guys so much ❤just been rewatching all ur mic righteous reactions n gt soooo emotional all over again , he just hits different huh ❤Thank u for keepin up with our UK artists , we appreciate u dude xxxx
I was waiting for this one ! Keep it Cliffy 😁❤️
As far as I've heard. Most of the lyrics about Pewpews, drugs and violence, are actually way more real than most people think.
Apparently they were a couple of ice cold mother truckers in their younger days.
Fall asleep to the sound of the hoover... J Edgar! Martin Luther!
Great fucking bar.
I thought it was short for Basil. So neither Base nor Baas.
Just Bas.
Short for Barry
@@reggae7761 No it's not short for Barry. His full name is Basil Bellgrave. If it was short for Barry then it would be spelt with a z (just like Gary is shortened to Gaz, not Gas).
Spelt Bas, pronounced Baz. Basil is said as Bazil here in the UK. If the US would see the word they pronounce it like the herb I'm assuming and say Baysil
HOW... how is it possible to have subtitles for the entire thing and STILL keep asking what they said..
IT'S RIGHT THERE ON SCREEN!!
Cannon on me like Gundam is such a sick line
First guy I've seen pick apart and appreciate the luther/hoover/krueger dream scheme like that.
But did u get the deeper meaning? It’s big debate on who killed martin Luther king, one popular theory is it was done by the CIA. Who was run by j edger hoover
Was j.edgar Hoover The President Back Then 🤔
He was head of the FBI.
I’ve seen soo many reactions to this song.. no one ever brings up the line where bas talks about leaving them stiff from extended clips, gonna get lit. Like candles. Wax them off coming in from different angles. And then the line after that where he says that they’ll be in box, retangle. Dashed in the ground all buised and mangled.
That’s the hardest part of this song.
Nahhh u catch so many schemes that flew over my head and every other reactor love❤
The line about "switching it up like mr Ben is a referancr to an old kids tv show from the late 60s early 70s meybe even earlier
In my honest opinion, if there was a ghost writer behind them, surely they would have taken credit by now to launch their own careers, or even for their 5 mins of fame, I don’t see anybody who wouldn’t want credit for these masterpieces.
Not necessarily. That’s exactly what I do for a living and we have NDA’s. But I think this is legit
@@CliffBeatsOfficial I really hope so bruh, they’re too cold with it, love your vids too man been following you for time, love from the uk✊
Ghostwriter is supposedly casisdead - who’s big enough in the UK to not need to come forward and confirm
@@Notoriousdan1987 I’ve heard it’s The Manor which is nowhere near as dope as Cas, but it would still be way better than their own shit
@@graphicbars6553 Except they have already confirmed on multiple occasions that nineoneshots makes the beats for them, then they write the lyrics, then they work with their grandkids to double check on their modern lingo and references.
Should do their song window frame cypher part 2
Bird is also a case in the UK, so flipped the bird is even deeper
Everyone misses one of the links when they talk about "Crocker. Bet He." Betty Crocker. It's quick and so easy to miss.
So. When you look up the definition of sindhu it comes back as “sea” or “river”, so my interpretation is this sesh flows like a river.
Smooth like Water
What are some other CURRENT rap duos or groups that do the rapid fire back and forth the way Pete and Bas do? Em and Royce do it in their song "Fast Lane" but it sure seems like it was more common back in the day.
DELIVERY! You're hooked on bars and bars are hooked!
Great reaction love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
This is straight 🔥🔥🔥they go back n forth effortlessly
“Blood on me tee shirt, rinsed and washed and spun that, box of the corn just packed up in the bumbag”
Is he talking about donating his evidence to the homeless...? TOO. COLD.
10/10 gear I shift drug reference and also car theme linked to Michelin tyres and 5 star food i serve is one of my favourite bits.
There are a couple interviews out there. The grandkids got them into newer music, they decided to give it a try. They write their own stuff and learn the current lingo to fit it in with lingo from their own prime time
“Breakin em down like the steps on that back of the crocker” “bet he take that”
Bet he Crocker (Betty Crocker)
Betty Crocker has steps and recipes on the back of the box
Slick
I have watched this at least 50x and didn’t catch that Bas used the word “bait” right after Pete was talking about how someone was now tuna. Good call.
That "Had a dream like Martin Luther/ Fell asleep to the sound of the Hoover" is referencing J. Edgar Hoover who was the first director of the FBI and investigated (among other things) MLK Jr.
Great reaction, thank you 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍
I think the "fall asleep to the sound of the Hoover" was refering to J. Edgar Hoover who was the FBI director at the time.
Bro I was so hoping you would react to this one, my days it's a banger💯
You’re now known as Cliff Bricks 😂
Hello from Cody Wyoming! You're awesome... Keep it up😊
Great reaction! Yeah it is them, with help from the grandkids. And yes, Bas is short for Basil so that should help with the pronunciation. I like your channel bro, you always seem to pick up on things I've missed!!! xx
Your right it's bas
06:32 _"Come like wasps at a picnic run up and sting ya"_ 😂
Just saw a little blurb from bbc stating "bas' past is shrouded in history, and he likes to keep it that way. As a child, bas says his father owned a bare knuckle boxing ring"
Bas is pronounced as Baz firstly.@4.15 Pete mentioned 'Mr. Benn changin suits' it was a UK tv kids programme where Mr. Benn went to a costume shop and chnged outfits every episode..
That line alone just goes to show they write their own stuff, mr Benn is from the damn 70s
Also Ben 10 he can changes into aliens whenever he wants with his watch to fight bad guys
It goes deeper than just falling asleep to the sound of a hoover vacuum, pres. Hoover was known to have bugged M.L.K.s bedroom
The best reaction actually acknowledges the depth of this
“Then made love to the ground and kissed…the curb…”. Everybodies missin that bar
Same with the Ben 10 line! Bas says “I change my suite like Ben” and Pete picks up and says “10/10” like the cartoon Ben 10 that has the watch that he uses to morph into whatever alien he wants whenever he wants.
The bar about the Hoover, I fall asleep to the sound of the Hoover, Hoover being a vacuum cleaner, and also in 1964 Edgar Hoover, said Martin Luther king was the most notorious lier in America, so playing off the previous bar about Luther king, extremely clever wordplay, and that alone suggests to me they play a big part in the writing, as not many youngers would even now that shit 👍
Back of the box like Crocker- bet he take that. Oh my godddduh
I have no doubt you will be that fire.
They've only been doing this for 5-6 years. Yes their grandkids help them with a little bit of the lingo but not much.
They both fought in the war. But they didn't know each other before 2015.
Bas (Basil) does have a very sketchy past. An almost 15 year chunk that is unknown, and he keeps it that way.
Yo these old boys are insane... they writing this fr
"steps on the back of the CROCKER, BET HE take that" = Betty Crocker bar
So the question becomes, what's harder writing it or delivering it (flow, cadence, timing, breath control) . If you can't deliver the lyrics it doesn't matter how dope the pen is.
facts
My spidey-sense is tingling over that Hoover bar, it has to have multiple layers cuz J Edgar Hoover was director of the FBI at the time of his assassination and had been constantly trying to undermine MLK and the whole civil rights movement
You’re the only one I’ve seen who caught the Hoover bar 🔥
I watch a lot of reacts and your the only person to work out the whole sleep scheme at the start of this song
how did i miss this what the f-ing hell was i on 9 days ago to miss this lol
he said Frederick Kruger that makes it even more hot
I feel like nobody ever gets this bar 'grabbed the lime, chopped it (the body) up, popped the cap (of the lime powder) poured it in (the grave/coffin/box)'. Lime powder is used to cover the scent of a dead body.
In England Bas is pronounced "BAZ" as its short for his first name which is Basil. You can also say "Bas" or "Bal" for someone who is named Barry.
Oh my god these guys are insane! "Breakin em down like steps on the back of the box of the crocker bet he (Betty) take that" jesus man these dudes got BARSSSSSS
Yo these guys have been out for over a year maybe two. Dope ! ! !💪🏼😎👍🏽🔥😂😁👍🏼
They have more raps
No one ever picked up these bars!
Bas - “change my suite like Ben”
Pete- 10/10”
Like Ben ten with the watch that changes alien whenever he wants.
Also!
Pete - “fell in love and kissed”
Bas - “the curb”
They are finishing each others bars!
Everyone always pauses right before and never picks it up! There are some other but those two are honestly my favorite and hardest bars 🫡🫡
Also Mr Benn, which is probably what they were referring to, is a kid's show where the guy gets a new suit every episode...and Tin Tin is another kids show.
At the end of the day give them there flower's now there amazing I sulute them still hustling at there age and there better than some rappers fact 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh my god, I've seen several reactions and heard this 2x as much... and STILL missed " Breakin 'em down like steps on the back of the box of the Crocker, Bet he (Betty) take that" . . . sleeper bars.
Much love.
You missed the amazing handoff of 'ground kissed '...'the curb'
baz is how you say his name
im with you the delivery is insane, they have real live shows, they also are slicked mouth old crimeys, i heard that pete used to run with the krays, and baz has been in prison multiple times.
Mad love bro.... thanks for the reaction and to hell with those who say you pause to much... we need that to see your true reaction and gear your first thoughts on the song... thus a "Reaction" channel ... with that being said bro I have been trying to get someone to check out "JZAC" "High off life' freestyle for a while and catch this dude.... he has a lot of amazing music like "Indecisive" which I feel you will relate to (trust me on this one) but I love freestyle for reactions vecause that is when they hit... well with all that said... already liked, subbed, and shared so hope to hear from you soon bro!
I call him "Bazz"... short for Basil.
Well I hope you know that bas, was teaching music. So he has a background in music so that would be the glue to the two. If that makes sense.
Thanks for catching the bars. Half these people miss it
The Michelin play with tires and 5-star food (Michelin star)
