@@Pretendship They came on in 3 piece suits, song by song a layer came off to give a different look which worked pretty well tbh.

Pete is more of a slow walk around and points at people kind of guy equally as fun I have some good videos. They have a bunch of people at the back of the stage who are kind of stage hands but also hype men jumping and lip-syncing along. Got a few people up on stage to down pints with an egg in them. Honestly can't recommend it enough., They didn't come on till 1am it was a proper club until then. They came into the crowd after the show and signed a bunch of girls chests, I got selfies with them and signed posters.
@@Pretendship it was amazing! I saw them 1 year ago. They pulled up in suits and killed the set! Then they gave me and my gf shirts signed by them. Then we went to the nearest pub and sat down with them at a table and had several pints! Got a few pictures with them and spoke to them for over an hour. Super nice blokes and very funny then Pete had an argument with security gave them a handshake and got the train home. Incredible night!

@@Pretendship from the videos i've seen of their live shows they lip sync over the track and occasionally use their real voices which obviously sound nothing like the track. Lol. Seem like fun old dudes though.
The writer for these two is next level. Not only do they write fire. They make it relevant to these guys age with the slang used. Most of its dated. Which adds to the technical value.
Hahaha, same. I just saw a short a minute ago and I honestly thought it was a joke/dub/voiceover. I read the comments talking about them and how they're legit. Blew my mind 🤯. _Absolutely_ putting them on my playlist! They're 🔥🔥🔥!
"Your man got shelled on, big bang theory" is pure quality wordplay. These lads are still producing absolute bangers 2 years on from this, putting everyone else in the game to shame, but I always return to this sublime track as it's completely packed to the brim with genius.
Genuinely surprised to know that these two write everything themselves. Pete said since he's from south London talking fast is easy. After learning that I'm like 1000% sure Pete and bas were real gangsters back in their day.
Why is better to know that an artist doing this genre is or was a criminal? Why the concept of this music must have someone who did gangster stuff ? I find it childish
@@MrLockwiseit's not about being a criminal. It's about having the experience to match the words. No way in hell these 2 old timers spit the way they do without having some life in their back pockets
@@MrLockwise the very idea of "being a real man" and "Real G experience" has been closely associated with criminal behaviour. This "concept of music having gangsters in it" has existed since the 1920s. It's simply that people who live within the rules find it cool. It's cool to fantasize about taking what you want, living big and living your life to the max. That dream is really nice when you are living a boring office job like many in the 1920s. Hollywood and the music scene are STILL running with the glorification of gang activity. this dream completely focuses on the individual at expense to anyone around you. Why would several generations respect this type of behaviour? because it's brave, powerful, and hyper-masculine. Men killing men quietly but confidently for economic reasons, speaking well in well-dressed suits where violence isn't even something someone bats an eye at. It's unrealistic, damaging to society at the end of the day, and slings lots of boys into prisons. But it looks hardcore and sounds cool. "Experience to match the words" because if you haven't committed violent crime, you're just not as interesting. In this world you have to physically demonstrate your strength, it's a world like chimp enclosure or a prison yard. You can't simply be capable of violence, you need a track-record, that makes you more "legit". You can blame media entities for glorifying old-school illegal alcohol dealers as "legitimate businessmen" and for styling rappers in the hood as being "more real" than another because they witnessed a man get shot, or because they rode along for a drive-by shooting. Then we actually respected rappers who were poisoning their own black communities with shit like crack cocaine and heroin because "they wuz juz feedin their kidz" Queer and broken. funny to me, my family are from former S. Rhodesia. None of this loud nonsense. Many people were lost and it wasn't romantic or cool, many of my uncles are stone-cold murderers and all it did was ruin their minds
As an artist who grew up on Nas, Jadakiss, jay z, mobb deep, master p, UGK, 8ball and MJG, big L, the roots, ect I have mad respect for these guys. The delivery is spot on most new rappers can't even stay on beat and these gentlemen are flawless with it 🔥🔥
@@AdJOR for Nas anything on his illmatic Album is a conflagration. Nas was known to be a menace on the mic but he went God Mode on that album. "I am" is a pretty good 2nd with "Hate Me Now" being the frontrunner single. Up to preference though as many people liked "I am" more 🤷 As far as Big L, no offense, but I prefer Big Pun, Fat Joe, Nelly, or Fat Pat. Most of their stuff was better overall. To me Big L was like Bone crusher, had a few bangers but fizzled out quickly.
@@AdJOR any album from either artist. The big picture was big L's final album but was posthumously released so some tracks didn't seem like it was his newest material. As we know Nas still dropping heat gotta listen to magic 3
goes with the party theme at the start. earlier on they go on about betty crocker cakes, candles, and a drink with lime, then later on wallops and dollops and well, you messed with the whole cake now..
"Two hand on my hips and glide, if a man tries to act to hard he"ll get cemented building site" one of many mad line these man come out with they are sick to be fair lol
Holy fuck these were the best bars I've heard in a long fucking time holy fucking shit!!! "Burn that rubber like I'm Michelin, five star food that I dish to them, chef's hat on when I'm whipping in the kitchen, then I switch suits like I'm Mr. Ben" FUCKING UNREAL BARS
I can't believe nobody is talking about the burn that rubber like I'm Michelin (as in the tire company) that's the 5 star meal I dish to them (as in a 5 star Michelin chef) chef hat on when I'm whippin in the kitchen (chef hat cuz 5 star Michelin chef plus whippin as in whipping eggs and whippin a dude's arse) then I change suits (cuz it's prob covered in blood from the whippin he just gave the dude) like I'm Mr. Ben (call back to the food thing)
@@CornerCastCrew idk about the UK, but here in the states, " whippin in the kitchen" ," cookin up in the kitchen", means cooking up a batch of crack cuz you do it on the stove.
Damn these og got this rapping ish in a choke hold, like how the hell can two old school out rap all the new school rappers 😮I am still shocked of words damn y’all got it old heads respect
It’s not even a joke how good they are. Word play, flow just everything about them. They are the best out there. None of these lame bars, lame flows it just reminds me of good old grime (I know it’s not grime but the word play and straight bars)
As someone with knowledge of English literature I cannot tell you how magnificent this is. Generations to come will be studying this on a level with Shakespeare and Wordsworth. It is the poetry of the modern day. Has it all - rhyme, rhythm, cadence, alliteration, onomatopoeia, wordplay and most of all, top notch flow. ❤
@@NoughtSure i've only seen one video of them live, they seemed out of breath and i could barely hear them over the recorded track playing. I get that the fast cuts add energy, but look at COLORS for example, they do tend to cut a few times but nowhere as fast as this, plus there's a difference between cutting to another angle and cutting to another take, this vid obviously cuts to a bunch of takes.
@@k_kingz2317You’d think that a professional brass musician wouldn’t get gassed rhyming considering the breathing technique requires is of a higher standard…
I like the differences in American & British rhymes. Accents can create so many different slant rhymes , also culture and geography play a huge part in it too. These guys pull off gangster rap with a genuine sort of class. I dig it . Sure as hell beats any rapper under the age of 30 these days who yap instead of rap
I never knew these guys till last night and I can't even comprehend how crazy this is🤣 these guys are an instant favorite. It's like they know every flow there is and just know where and when to use it. This is just great 🤣😂 immediately became a fan from the 30 second clip that brought me here
Glad someone else noticed. Bas got saucier on the bars lately as well. I love how they’re trading places now more with Pete taking in flows and Bas getting some punchlines slick in there. Not to say they hadn’t before ofc 😏 😂
These guys are too hard! The fact they mix content and stories from their "time" with old school slang on current music Is insane!! Top notch!! Can't rate em enough! Gone hard from day 1!!
Like nothing else I've ever seen this makes me proud to be English and I really can't explain why. God bless the country that produced these two lyrical geniuses.
the fact that this has as many "buts" "surprising" and "reactions" is a sign that the one form of prejudice we never eliminated is ageism. This is pure talent, period.
It is - these two are straight fire. But I think it's the juxtaposition of age and race and, for a lot of Americans at least, that they're from the UK. None of it's ok, but I also kinda get it. They're old af for the game, but clearly it does not matter - they spit bars like true heroes of the mic. They're white af, but clearly it doesn't matter, those bars are hard as hell. And they're from the UK, but it doesn't matter - because it literally just doesn't matter. It's cool for folk to be shocked, as long as they don't try to front and act like Pete and Bas aren't lyrically superior to just about everyone else in the game.
Look. I don't care who writes this stuff. It's bloody brilliant. Old skool gangsta story telling combined with modern day slang and flow. Pure genius.
They do. No one write like this
@@jas_bataille their grandkids are also rappers on the 91 label. I'm sure they have input but who cares? Honestly they flow better than their youngins

@@Pretendship from the videos i've seen of their live shows they lip sync over the track and occasionally use their real voices which obviously sound nothing like the track. Lol. Seem like fun old dudes though.
3:49 Bas holding his back from the weight of carrying the ENTIRE British music industry 😳
Haaaaaa haaa I love this comment ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Looool
Yooooooooooo😅😅😅😅
You ve killed that
Best comment!
From America and can say these guys are legit af on a lyrical rap level. Just found these guys and I’m adding them to my playlist
The writer for these two is next level. Not only do they write fire. They make it relevant to these guys age with the slang used. Most of its dated. Which adds to the technical value.
@@danbeasteu9785 damn the subtle shade I see you
Also fire delivery and sound
Hahaha, same. I just saw a short a minute ago and I honestly thought it was a joke/dub/voiceover. I read the comments talking about them and how they're legit. Blew my mind 🤯.
_Absolutely_ putting them on my playlist! They're 🔥🔥🔥!
@@dsandoval9396 yup the exact same. I thought it was cap. Old dudes not playing
"Your man got shelled on, big bang theory" is pure quality wordplay. These lads are still producing absolute bangers 2 years on from this, putting everyone else in the game to shame, but I always return to this sublime track as it's completely packed to the brim with genius.
Bas killing the track and that ponytail
Check out purple j’s by Ben stanez
It’s low key fire
@@loganbain90 no he isn't
Pete’s “yeah” is slowly becoming iconic!
*Rapidly
@@henryviiifake8244 fair play to my grammar mistake!! Well done sir I stand corrected, I’ll not even edit it to highlight your correction! My bad
@@vigilantetroll6865 Wasn't a grammar correction lol!
I'm just saying it's catching on quicker that you said, is all
it's more like ahhhh
Genuinely surprised to know that these two write everything themselves. Pete said since he's from south London talking fast is easy. After learning that I'm like 1000% sure Pete and bas were real gangsters back in their day.
They were its documented these guys are absolute G's
They still are
Why is better to know that an artist doing this genre is or was a criminal? Why the concept of this music must have someone who did gangster stuff ? I find it childish
@@MrLockwiseit's not about being a criminal. It's about having the experience to match the words. No way in hell these 2 old timers spit the way they do without having some life in their back pockets
@@MrLockwise the very idea of "being a real man" and "Real G experience" has been closely associated with criminal behaviour.
This "concept of music having gangsters in it" has existed since the 1920s. It's simply that people who live within the rules find it cool. It's cool to fantasize about taking what you want, living big and living your life to the max.
That dream is really nice when you are living a boring office job like many in the 1920s. Hollywood and the music scene are STILL running with the glorification of gang activity. this dream completely focuses on the individual at expense to anyone around you.
Why would several generations respect this type of behaviour? because it's brave, powerful, and hyper-masculine. Men killing men quietly but confidently for economic reasons, speaking well in well-dressed suits where violence isn't even something someone bats an eye at. It's unrealistic, damaging to society at the end of the day, and slings lots of boys into prisons. But it looks hardcore and sounds cool.
"Experience to match the words" because if you haven't committed violent crime, you're just not as interesting. In this world you have to physically demonstrate your strength, it's a world like chimp enclosure or a prison yard. You can't simply be capable of violence, you need a track-record, that makes you more "legit".
You can blame media entities for glorifying old-school illegal alcohol dealers as "legitimate businessmen" and for styling rappers in the hood as being "more real" than another because they witnessed a man get shot, or because they rode along for a drive-by shooting. Then we actually respected rappers who were poisoning their own black communities with shit like crack cocaine and heroin because "they wuz juz feedin their kidz"
Queer and broken. funny to me, my family are from former S. Rhodesia. None of this loud nonsense. Many people were lost and it wasn't romantic or cool, many of my uncles are stone-cold murderers and all it did was ruin their minds
"I'm an old dog, I'm still out there serving" 💯
That whole printer scheme by Bas is one of the sickest things I’ve ever heard
Bas has like 3 verses that could carry an entire song on their own here
As an artist who grew up on Nas, Jadakiss, jay z, mobb deep, master p, UGK, 8ball and MJG, big L, the roots, ect I have mad respect for these guys. The delivery is spot on most new rappers can't even stay on beat and these gentlemen are flawless with it 🔥🔥
Kinda outta topic but you got good song recommendations from any of these artists? I really like Big L and Nas.
@@AdJOR for Nas anything on his illmatic Album is a conflagration. Nas was known to be a menace on the mic but he went God Mode on that album. "I am" is a pretty good 2nd with "Hate Me Now" being the frontrunner single. Up to preference though as many people liked "I am" more 🤷
As far as Big L, no offense, but I prefer Big Pun, Fat Joe, Nelly, or Fat Pat. Most of their stuff was better overall. To me Big L was like Bone crusher, had a few bangers but fizzled out quickly.
@@Zenai01 love big pun
For real....they honestly surprised me
But they legit
@@AdJOR any album from either artist. The big picture was big L's final album but was posthumously released so some tracks didn't seem like it was his newest material. As we know Nas still dropping heat gotta listen to magic 3
"Messed with the cake and I'll Battenberg him" - These guys drop fire.
goes with the party theme at the start. earlier on they go on about betty crocker cakes, candles, and a drink with lime, then later on wallops and dollops and well, you messed with the whole cake now..
Even Mr Kipling received an invite.
ice cold cake bar lol seriously i heard that and dislocated my jaw in a jaw-drop hehe
Battenburg is also the pattern on Ambulances! So it works on so many levels
Boxed up?😂
“One more word and we bring them bings, nuts and bolts and a couple of more things out” sheesh! That was some pressure.
"Two hand on my hips and glide, if a man tries to act to hard he"ll get cemented building site" one of many mad line these man come out with they are sick to be fair lol
“If a man tries to act too wide, then he’ll get cemented, builder site”
CHILLS!!! 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Lol $hit happens lol
The line immediately after that is bonkers.
**Builder's side (I think)
If a man tries to act too hard, then he'll get cemented builders site
Who cares if I got a word or two wrong or right the bar was there get over it guys
“Your man got shelled on (Sheldon) - Big Bang Theory” is one of the best bars I’ve heard on a track in years.
That shit was stank face FIRE.
Jeeeeesus
You're not wrong
Out of all the bars, THIS is the one you thought was good? 🤣
heard it before, young lad on 'Blackbox - u18's Cypher'. Hard none the less
These two gentlemen are sliding' like kings! Big respect!
Holy fuck these were the best bars I've heard in a long fucking time holy fucking shit!!! "Burn that rubber like I'm Michelin, five star food that I dish to them, chef's hat on when I'm whipping in the kitchen, then I switch suits like I'm Mr. Ben" FUCKING UNREAL BARS
Thank you for noticing this! Prob the best bar in the whole thing
I can't believe nobody is talking about the burn that rubber like I'm Michelin (as in the tire company) that's the 5 star meal I dish to them (as in a 5 star Michelin chef) chef hat on when I'm whippin in the kitchen (chef hat cuz 5 star Michelin chef plus whippin as in whipping eggs and whippin a dude's arse) then I change suits (cuz it's prob covered in blood from the whippin he just gave the dude) like I'm Mr. Ben (call back to the food thing)
@@CornerCastCrew idk about the UK, but here in the states, " whippin in the kitchen" ," cookin up in the kitchen", means cooking up a batch of crack cuz you do it on the stove.
I thought they was on about whippin something different in the kitchen if u get me
I'd bet everything that they didn't make these lyrics
"Popped with a red dot, rib shot, punchbag. Pull up outside cannon on me like Gundam" 🔥
The way pete flows on these beats is unholy
Pete has better flow but Bas usually has the harder lines. Amazing duo
@@Alroytt na, Bas’s flow is way better 😂
@@user-bv9wo9op4j nah it’s definitely Pete is better
@@josephtdi8764 can't lie I agree with T bas flow (taller guy) is insane. Pete's delivery and verses hit hard plus his aggression.
they pick up and respond to each other like no pair i've ever heard before 🔥🔥🔥
Check out Don Trip and Starlito’s album Step Brothers 3 different style obviously but their chemistry is top tier
1:06 love the switch of the beat here, really ramps up the energy.
Mane felt it was like WAYMINUTE 😮😮
Fun fact you can actually hear the sample used in window frame cypher pt 2 there. I find it amazing
Lyrically, this is probably the best thing i've ever heard. The flow switches, and double etendres and this beat is just too sick. 🔥🔥🔥
have u listened to browns by pete and bas its also absolute fire
@@awesomehaz5105 It's so good! Too bad it's in the dark web section of RUclips for some reasons. Probably pole dancing reason 😏
People forget these guys were English professors rapping started off as a challenge by some of their students they ended up doing it better than them.
@@shawnbeeson6685 Where'd you source that from my dude? I've never even come close to hearing about anything like that about them.
Shawn that's bs 😂
Damn these og got this rapping ish in a choke hold, like how the hell can two old school out rap all the new school rappers 😮I am still shocked of words damn y’all got it old heads respect
It’s not just what your saying but how your delivering, they maybe old but their respect is never ending
It’s not even a joke how good they are. Word play, flow just everything about them. They are the best out there. None of these lame bars, lame flows it just reminds me of good old grime (I know it’s not grime but the word play and straight bars)
“One thing for sure, two things for certain..”🔥🔥🔥🔥
These 2 are going in so hard on this track, they don't even have a chorus... say no more..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Is this real
RIGHT!?!
They didn't need no filler! They got straight to work and didn't let up till the end, bro.
Straight FUEGO 🔥🔥🔥
This is how rap is SUPPOSED to be! Just 3-4 min of hard hitting bars with layers upon layers of nuance to eat for a month minimum.
As someone with knowledge of English literature I cannot tell you how magnificent this is. Generations to come will be studying this on a level with Shakespeare and Wordsworth. It is the poetry of the modern day. Has it all - rhyme, rhythm, cadence, alliteration, onomatopoeia, wordplay and most of all, top notch flow. ❤
Damn and now they're on another level by doing their own mock COLOURS show. Good shit boys
i wanna see them do a clip like this without all the fast camera cuts, same as on fumez, i wanna see that one take.
@k_kingz you believe that was one take?? 😂
@@deanosaur808 no they never done anything one take that i've seen yet thats what im sayin
@@NoughtSure i've only seen one video of them live, they seemed out of breath and i could barely hear them over the recorded track playing. I get that the fast cuts add energy, but look at COLORS for example, they do tend to cut a few times but nowhere as fast as this, plus there's a difference between cutting to another angle and cutting to another take, this vid obviously cuts to a bunch of takes.
@@k_kingz2317You’d think that a professional brass musician wouldn’t get gassed rhyming considering the breathing technique requires is of a higher standard…
I like the differences in American & British rhymes. Accents can create so many different slant rhymes , also culture and geography play a huge part in it too. These guys pull off gangster rap with a genuine sort of class. I dig it . Sure as hell beats any rapper under the age of 30 these days who yap instead of rap
💯💯💯
Yap instead of rap.
This is the reality of hip hop in America today. It’s all drag. This shit is fire! No yap here!
I never knew these guys till last night and I can't even comprehend how crazy this is🤣 these guys are an instant favorite. It's like they know every flow there is and just know where and when to use it. This is just great 🤣😂 immediately became a fan from the 30 second clip that brought me here
Same!
U can tell they are most likely legit since they have improved alot since their old songs
We have something in common , that clip brought me here
Go check out their other tunes! 👍 You'll have to search for the elusive "browns" by it's full title "Pete & Bas - Browns video" 😉
Pete is right, they're definitely the most slept on. These boys are 🔥!!!
We all have a duty at this point. It's to blow this banger up! 1.2mil? Not enough the world needs to see and hear this!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
here's the rest of their work complied in one place ruclips.net/p/PLNzrdSP7UWaRO7y2qplPK8nA9f-V9MQDy

Thats Bas 🔥🔥
@@Tyius420 thank you I had no idea who was who🙏
nws brother@@mr.tortuga9626
They're the greatest ive ever heard or seen. Love and respect.
1:39
“mess with the cake and I’ll battenburg him” into “Kipling, missed him” even the cake references are fire
Listened to this about 30 times and never caught that lmao
pete has elevated his flow and cadence to the absaloute sheer maximum, spectacular
Glad someone else noticed. Bas got saucier on the bars lately as well.
I love how they’re trading places now more with Pete taking in flows and Bas getting some punchlines slick in there.
Not to say they hadn’t before ofc 😏 😂
2:13 unmatched flow ...
Wtf you mean, Lil Dicky matches that.
This track is still fire doe.
"one thing's for sure and two things for certain" that line flows so well!
Rap may be a young man’s game, but this here is undeniable
Oh my .. This duo have no business being this good. I love it .
These guys are too hard! The fact they mix content and stories from their "time" with old school slang on current music Is insane!! Top notch!! Can't rate em enough! Gone hard from day 1!!
2:50 Everything leading up to this, dancing and headbanging in my kitchen. FIRE
FLOWING BETTER THAN THE WHOLE SCENE
Like nothing else I've ever seen this makes me proud to be English and I really can't explain why. God bless the country that produced these two lyrical geniuses.
That "I'll hurt em" hits HARD!
And the frown like you know he means it.
Une longueur d avence que tout ces Rappeurs de la nouvelle génération ❤
“The man got shelled on a Big Bang theory” bro, that’s bars….these guys go fking hard!!
Their FLOW IS STOOPID LIT!!!! 🔥
3:05 🔥🔥🔥
the fact that this has as many "buts" "surprising" and "reactions" is a sign that the one form of prejudice we never eliminated is ageism. This is pure talent, period.
It is - these two are straight fire. But I think it's the juxtaposition of age and race and, for a lot of Americans at least, that they're from the UK. None of it's ok, but I also kinda get it. They're old af for the game, but clearly it does not matter - they spit bars like true heroes of the mic. They're white af, but clearly it doesn't matter, those bars are hard as hell. And they're from the UK, but it doesn't matter - because it literally just doesn't matter.
It's cool for folk to be shocked, as long as they don't try to front and act like Pete and Bas aren't lyrically superior to just about everyone else in the game.
For a real treat - look up videos of rappers reacting to these two. I love watching 'em light up.
I love how the tall dude walks off at the end holding his back dealing with those old age aches and pains.
These two spit FIRE 🔥
