@@iRjarlok Battenburg is a type of cake. Kipling, as in Mr Kipling is a famous brand of cakes in the UK. Bas says “mess with the cake I’ll battenburg him” - as in don’t mess with the goods (drugs) or I’ll put him in an ambulance. Battenburg south london slang for police cars due to the checkered square pattern on in them resembles the checkered squares in the cake, but can also mean ambulance for the same reason. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battenburg_markings It’s insane word play basically.
For other people from the U.S. who didn't get it: battenberg is a type of English cake with a checkerboard pattern inside; there's a very similar pattern on emergency vehicles in many countries outside the U.S. And "cake" is money or coke.

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.

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 🔥🔥🔥!
@@spencerm5913 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…
Perfection! Not a wasted word, no filler or overly complicated metaphors, not even a curse word and it hits soo hard. Legendary level. I mean the bars! The bars!!
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..
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
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
Saw them in Newcastle the whole night was class! The most fun live show I've been to easily. These boys know how to have fun. Bas is really committed to interacting with the crowd and being a proper performer. Pete has class stage presence.
@@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. Bas actually jumps around the whole show, gets down from the stage into the crowd a bunch of times. 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!
@@jord9261 ahh that sounds sick thanks for the description. I guess I'm more wondering about the lip sync vs live performance, but I don't wanna spoil anything for anyone 😅
@@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.
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 😏 😂
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)
"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
How is they haven't dropped one bad track not one that should be impossible even the biggest artists with all the money in the world and biggest teams around them can't compete with this consistency who ever is behind the scenes with these two are doing amazing work
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!!
The boys mean business with this one, just spitting straight bars 🔥 So many clever rhymes in this one... need to listen a few times just take them all in 👏
I was initially confused by "box the man back like I'm mucnhing jollof" like...take away jollof in a box? Then realised he meant throwing hands like shovelling rice into his mouth two handed, and I can't stop thinking about it, it's genius
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.

“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
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 😂
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
“One more word and we bring them bings, nuts and bolts and a couple of more things out” sheesh! That was some pressure.
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
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
@@spencerm5913 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…
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
"I'm an old dog, I'm still out there serving" 💯
Perfection! Not a wasted word, no filler or overly complicated metaphors, not even a curse word and it hits soo hard. Legendary level. I mean the bars! The bars!!
"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?😂
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're the greatest ive ever heard or seen. Love and respect.
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" 😉
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!
"Glistening, jewels on the watch on the wrist get hit with the drip like a Christian christening" 🔥🔥🔥
That line is perfection bro!!!
"one thing's for sure and two things for certain" that line flows so well!
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
Tall man be spitting his damn soul out and I'm here for it 😂🤘🔥
Thats Bas 🔥🔥
@@Tyius420 thank you I had no idea who was who🙏
nws brother@@mr.tortuga9626
Saw them in Newcastle the whole night was class! The most fun live show I've been to easily. These boys know how to have fun. Bas is really committed to interacting with the crowd and being a proper performer. Pete has class stage presence.
always wondered, how do they approach it performing it live?
@@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. Bas actually jumps around the whole show, gets down from the stage into the crowd a bunch of times. 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!
@@jord9261 ahh that sounds sick thanks for the description. I guess I'm more wondering about the lip sync vs live performance, but I don't wanna spoil anything for anyone 😅
@@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.
that switch is insane. hardest shit
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
@@AnotherBangaTV you just literally saved the planet with this information, good looking out my G!
I'm doing my part! This is getting shared today!
@@inacook2285 that's exactly what I'm talking about!!!!
Bro estoy enamorado de estos tios, lo hacen real, puro fuego, respeto 👊
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.
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 😏 😂
Seriously 1:59 might be some of the hardest shit, crazy bars just stacked on top of each other. Never fail to impress me
2:13 unmatched flow ...
Wtf you mean, Lil Dicky matches that.
This track is still fire doe.
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)
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
this made my jaw drop, legitimately.
Oh my .. This duo have no business being this good. I love it .
"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
Rap may be a young man’s game, but this here is undeniable
Pete is right, they're definitely the most slept on. These boys are 🔥!!!
FLOWING BETTER THAN THE WHOLE SCENE
That "I'll hurt em" hits HARD!
And the frown like you know he means it.
"Popped with a red dot, rib shot, punchbag. Pull up outside cannon on me like Gundam" 🔥
2:50 Everything leading up to this, dancing and headbanging in my kitchen. FIRE
How is they haven't dropped one bad track not one that should be impossible even the biggest artists with all the money in the world and biggest teams around them can't compete with this consistency who ever is behind the scenes with these two are doing amazing work
waiting till im in my 70's to make bangers like this
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!!
The hardest part of loving these guys so much is knowing how limited the time for them to produce these absolute bangers is.
The boys mean business with this one, just spitting straight bars 🔥 So many clever rhymes in this one... need to listen a few times just take them all in 👏
Agreed, I'm often laughing out loud at the cleverness of the lyrics
Their FLOW IS STOOPID LIT!!!! 🔥
3:05 🔥🔥🔥
Man's straight ended the song with a bar about Gundam.🐐
Every bar pure heat 🥵🔥
I listen to these 2 when I'm gaming or working out and I'm not even ashamed...
Almost every song is a hit, most artist can’t do this now a days
Facts 💪😎🔥✊
💯
A hit..nah its entertaining...
'ONE THINGS FOR SURE AND 2 THINGS FOR CERTAIN' THIS SHIT IS TOOOOO HARD
It’s actually mad how good these gents are
I was initially confused by "box the man back like I'm mucnhing jollof" like...take away jollof in a box? Then realised he meant throwing hands like shovelling rice into his mouth two handed, and I can't stop thinking about it, it's genius
