As soon as Dan starts rapping in reverse I was like "WHOOOAAA IS HE REALLY DOING THAT? NO WAY. YEP. HE'S GOING BACKWARDS. OHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Mind = blown. Nerdgasm.
Song starts out with a catchy toon, I'm just like "oh ya, I can dig this" I even start tapping my foot and grooving along with the beat. I watch as the video goes through the history of war and I'm really feeling the lyrics. But when it got to the saber vs human climax and started going in reverse I had no idea the words were being sung backwards until the end. I re-watched this like seven times just so I could hear how amazing the words were when sung backwards. This video completely mind fucked me. You have once again made yet another amazing rap. I tip my fedora to you good sir.
wait. wait. FUCKING WAIT A SECOND. did you just write a rap that still works, and is still fucking awesome, when sung backwards? I pledge my life to you, my Great Lord Dan. Eminem needs to come up with a new title for that one thing he wrote once.
7 years, I still come back to this, I've only managed to unearth a single other piece like it and it wasnt anywhere near as lengthy. This should have gone mega viral, its so unique! Love it.
how is it laziness? please explain it to me because i must be to retarded to understand. Every single line makes perfect, grammatical as well as logical sense. no matter which way you read it. now matter if forwards or backwards. Coming from the german language, the language of poets with a proper back knowledge to secure upon. I must say, any other word than genius would be inappropriate.
@NoNoNoNii Dan bull rhymed a 2 minute long verse than proceeded to rhyme it backwards with entirely new meanings behind them . He rhymed faster than godzilla before it was out. He rhymed in perfect alliteration 7 times in 1 song. He rjymes complex rhyme schemes just like em
I always come back to this one. This one is your peak. I've never seen anyone else create a song that can be played in reverse perfectly. It makes it uniquely
If anyone sees the Honda commercial that is being shown on TV at the time of writing this comment, then you’ll see that they’ve totally taken this idea from Dan and made their commercial the exact same way. Honda needs to pay this man!
I think this is the crown jewel of Dan's music. The way he is able to play with English and language in this song or The Crew one or Fuck Everythin, really makes me happy to be alive, to be able to exist and experience such skill. Like, wow, that came out of your head!? You're showing me a whole other dimension I wasn't aware of! Thank you for your amazing music Dan, you are a true artist.
the way i interpreted the trailer is that other games are moving into the future (biggest example is Call Of Duty) while farcry is moving far into the past hence becoming almost unique in the way its evolving.
I won't lie Dan; your stuff is always awesome. And then, sometimes, you go up a notch. Happened when you made your Civilization rap, and happened now with Primal. New favourite :p
This is, without question the best rap I've ever seen you do. This is nothing short of artistry, and it should be held only in the highest regard by anyone who hears it. Bravo, Dan Bull.
Absolutely AMAZING!! The backwards part blew me away. So very unique. The beat was fast paced with just a touch of classical baroque. The lyrics time with the beat perfectly. Lyrically strong. Can touch everyone because we all know deep down that there is a universal feeling that war takes us away from our humanity.
I've been addicted to this song for about half a year when I first heard it. I still know every single word by heart and just can't comprehend how writing this is within a human's capacity.
It still amazed me to this day when the first time I heard this The rap fits theme to the game, the lyrics still make sense to meaning even in backwards and the message, everything in this rap is so detailed and polish so well
I'm happy that Dan has grown big enough to endorse and advertise big games and companies. He is one of the RUclipsrs that, in my opinion, deserve all the fame he is getting and more - and in a world that is dominated by money, he also deserves all the money that comes with the fame. However, it would be a terrible "business strategy" to rely on RUclips ad revenue, which is why such things as Patreon exists. RUclips ad sense isn't a reliable source of income, because your viewership could drop by 50% in a week, or Ad Sense could just close down suddently without warning, or half his videos could be forcibly unmonetized. Anything can and will happen, so having several sources of income is a great thing, because it means that Dan can continue to make amazing videos that I love to watch and listen to.
So all the wars we saw in this video could be the likes of the following: - Some sort of future generation war, (most likely a world wide conflict in the 2040’s or 50’s) - A conflict clearly set in the bloody events of the Second World War, and judging by the clip from the video, most likely the D-day; Normandy landings of June 6, 1944. - We then had a taste of what seemed like the Napoleonic war, or the war of 1812, (or just some major conflict in the 19th or 18th century judging by the soldiers uniform, equipment and stunning amount of soldiers charging through the war torn meadows, a tactic that only soldiers of that time would really endure) - After that we where greeted with a man running forwards towards the opposition lying ahead, and quite frankly, judging by the crossbow in the warriors left hand and the rural village he was based in, i can only guess that this image of war was based around the Viking era, or maybe even Anglos and Saxons times. - And last but not least, the Stone Age, where we see a clear man of the Stone Age, taking on a sabre tooth tiger in an all-out head on fight, with an unpredicted reason other then the reason to survive off of one another, in the un-forgivable times our founding blood lines where born in to. Now listen you can call me a nerd, but I just love learning about was has happened and what can happen if we as humans where to fight one another and toil our enemies nerves, as horrible as it is to witness war or learn about the horrors it has produced, you have to admit war is pretty fucking cool to learn about, whilst remembering the brave men and women willing to give their blood for the sake of that act of upholding society and maintaining peace within man kind that is. Because it never hurts to be respectful to those who deserve respect.
Men seek war my dude ever since our hunter gathering days evolution has shaped men for conflict if not with nature then themselves....this is the reason why so many men are depressed these days... I'm not justifying war many men who were in wars don't want it no more but...but most men who have not feel drown to it because that's just our basic settings
My friend played this to me without any visuals. It took me until the chess part to realize that he was going backwards. This would be just as amazing of a rap if it wasn't for Far Cry. Well done, douglby. Hats off.
i love dan bulls music so much im trying to memorize hes playlist like i did with epic rap battles of history when i found dans music i was like YES expert level rap to learn word for word your primal and dying light songs are the 2 i have memorized atm keep it up dan
As soon as Dan starts rapping in reverse I was like "WHOOOAAA IS HE REALLY DOING THAT? NO WAY. YEP. HE'S GOING BACKWARDS. OHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Mind = blown. Nerdgasm.
+JT Machinima same pretty awesome
And the fact that it still makes sense when it's read backwards.
Like.
Dan. Stop making us all look bad XD
yes. very wow
when i saw the lyrics go backwards i was like no... you got to be kidding me
+Basel Hamad well it ended the same way it began
“I’m so ahead of my time, I’m properly rapping backwards.”
He’s done it boys.
completed the rap game
Awwwwww, yeahhhh. >;3
This and the Civ rap are messages to humanity not the games
Agreed
Parts of Division could be a message to America
Agreed, hell you could just as easily cut together clips of modern day Aleppo to this track as you could gaming clips
kingster8400 parts of the payday 2 rap as well.
kingster8400 agreed
It ended... the same way... it began
My headphones are on fire Dan!
"He's just another leg wrenched from the centipede,Another living chess piece that'll never get to queen."
SO DAMN TRUE.
Soo true; Signed, Atlàsean Silver.
The repeat backwards is just... genius! You're a true artist, Dan! I love it!
Edit: 5 years later and it still blows my mind!!! EVERY.SINGLE.TIME!
+Stylebreed truly phenomenal
The guy flying back onto his horse in reverse was awesome
and Kanye says he's a creative genius. Yeah, sit down son. XD
This was amazing and very clever. Respect.
Agreed
true
kanye🙀is shit💩
true. and a self-centered twat.
true
It's funny how one independent RUclips can be a better musician that all other multi millionaire "rappers"
Yeah the are so many good independent youtubes
with very little cursing
exept for fuck everything XD
fuck everything was pretty clever at the end xd
exept lil wayne! especially 6foot7foot

I pledge my life to you, my Great Lord Dan. Eminem needs to come up with a new title for that one thing he wrote once.
Marco G. Verbruggen i think its calmar gap rod
calt
Eminem would destroy dan bull even though i like them both.
Deep Fried Twinkie WRONG SIR!! They may be very equally matched, but Dan will wreck Eminem’s ass
@@derekblacktechz wdym wreck? Like in rap battle?
Lmao both of them would fall to any real battle rappers like DNA or dizaster
in other words war never changes
I was thinking the same thing.
Well ,
Following total atomic annihilation,
It may fall to you to save the great nation!
@@nathanbrown8196 that is why vault tech has brought you this
S.P.E.C.I.A.L presentation.
Dan did a fallout song as well.
7 years, I still come back to this, I've only managed to unearth a single other piece like it and it wasnt anywhere near as lengthy. This should have gone mega viral, its so unique! Love it.
the lyrics are really clever how they mean something else and make sense when read backwards
thanks i didn't realize

Datan1234 you are right man and this guy is ignoring the incredibly intricate rhyme patterns
I realize this is a year late, but you're a fucking idiot.
This is just too elegantly written. True poetry
This guy could school any of the mainstream multimillionaire rappers.
Alex Ghitza Leaving them in a state of shock. Who'd expect a middle class Brit to win? We would.
welll...not exactly
@NoNoNoNii I would honestly say he is better than em
@NoNoNoNii
Dan bull rhymed a 2 minute long verse than proceeded to rhyme it backwards with entirely new meanings behind them . He rhymed faster than godzilla before it was out. He rhymed in perfect alliteration 7 times in 1 song. He rjymes complex rhyme schemes just like em
@NoNoNoNii listen to dans civilization rap and far cry primal rap god tier story telling
Yooo, the fact this rap reverses is insane, there's no one greater than you man! absolute beast!
+SGTTangoGaming But what about our lord and savior Kanye West??
+SGTTangoGaming true words. i'm sittin here in awe. That's some ill shit. D:
Luke Cola Hmm true. He's a genius! GlasshouseMurderer It's so good man!
Dan bulls raps also help me understand the game better what about y'all
ye
+Skullking Nicons agreed
+Tye Young i have bought games entirely from dan's songs, like the crew
+Tye Young sometimes but i don't think so with this one :P
+JGaming Which is why Ubisoft pays Dan to make those.
After the scene reverse. The guy about to fight the tiger is like NOPE NOPE NOPE.
Zero Dash IM GONNA DO IM GON-AHHH FUCK IT NOPE NOPE NOPE!
Me in the Stone Age
"tiger"
@@bit-sy2hu Sabre-toothed tiger.
I always come back to this one. This one is your peak. I've never seen anyone else create a song that can be played in reverse perfectly. It makes it uniquely
1.7 million views isn't nearly enough, this is the most underrated fire written of the 2010's at LEAST
The beat to this song sounds awesome. I like how it has a bit of a tribal feel to it.
Holy crap man, your skills continue to blow my mind.
Dan is the definition of built different
This still gives me chills 4 years later
Every time i watch this it gets better and better.
This is actual art, holy shit.
You've single handedly revived rap as a possible art form for me. I had given up on it twenty years ago. 😳
OH DAMN THAT FLOW YOU HAD THERE WAS AMAZING. AND WHEN YOU WENT BACKWARDS HOLY CRAP! I am in love with this.
bro that shit gave me goosebumps #straightfire
agreed😁😄
The video game me goosebumps not the rap.
that bad ?
If anyone sees the Honda commercial that is being shown on TV at the time of writing this comment, then you’ll see that they’ve totally taken this idea from Dan and made their commercial the exact same way. Honda needs to pay this man!
7 years later and this still slaps as hard as the first time I heard it.
I can't put into one comment the amount of applause you deserve for this
I think this is the crown jewel of Dan's music. The way he is able to play with English and language in this song or The Crew one or Fuck Everythin, really makes me happy to be alive, to be able to exist and experience such skill. Like, wow, that came out of your head!? You're showing me a whole other dimension I wasn't aware of! Thank you for your amazing music Dan, you are a true artist.
This sir is an EPIC ART, wonder how he manages to create such a song that can be sung backwards and still convey the same message
This is one of the most unique raps I have ever heard. Thank you yt for recommending this to me. Always nice to revisit my previous favourites
I just got this house why did you have to burn it down. Fucking fire man
this rap is not only good! it's cleverer than anything
+Dikó more clever lol
yea haha
cleverer is in fact grammatically correct
Back bigger, quicker and cleverer!
Halo 4 rap reference!
Alexander kourie nope
Okay, it's official, DB is the smartest rapper alive. Any man who can pull a "Lost Generation" with a rap has officially hit the pinnacle.
This is by far the best rap i have ever heard.
the way i interpreted the trailer is that other games are moving into the future (biggest example is Call Of Duty) while farcry is moving far into the past hence becoming almost unique in the way its evolving.
The 'repeat' part was what cemented this as my favorite song out of all the ones you made.
That ending was epic. Incredible.
Flawless style. Most technically accomplished lyrics to date. Be extra proud of this one, Bull.
I get chills every time I listen to this masterpiece.
Almost 3 years later this still blows my mind
STILL A FUCKING TRIUMPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly, this is revolutionary and phenomenal artistry
it's almost 2020 and only 1,5M views? people just dont know what really art is.
I won't lie Dan; your stuff is always awesome. And then, sometimes, you go up a notch. Happened when you made your Civilization rap, and happened now with Primal. New favourite :p
I wasn't impressed by it at first, but when the twist came, it became one of my favourites!!
This should be the official credits song for the game.
This is a piece of art worthy of history's remembrance.
How is this not epic rap??? Masterpiece and god damn hard work
This is, without question the best rap I've ever seen you do. This is nothing short of artistry, and it should be held only in the highest regard by anyone who hears it.
Bravo, Dan Bull.
What about civilization?
Absolutely AMAZING!! The backwards part blew me away. So very unique. The beat was fast paced with just a touch of classical baroque. The lyrics time with the beat perfectly. Lyrically strong. Can touch everyone because we all know deep down that there is a universal feeling that war takes us away from our humanity.

make it about salt
+DelToroFlow Sick burn
+DelToroFlow That seemed like a reaction. Watch out, they can sue you now!
+AlphaWolf777 No they cant.
Bloody good trick Dan. Didn't expect it, made me pay more attention.
I remember showing this to my lit teacher in high school.
I've been addicted to this song for about half a year when I first heard it.
I still know every single word by heart and just can't comprehend how writing this is within a human's capacity.
It still amazed me to this day when the first time I heard this

What's nice with Dan bull is that, he makes a lot of sponsored raps, but they're all freaking awesome.
they're sponsored?
+Insidious Venom1 yes, look in the description. well if this is supossed to be an advertisement it's the best i've ever seen. the rap is just amazing
Absolutely fucking brilliant. So clever how you made the rap a palindrome
Best one yet for sure
Dan, I have one thing to say to you: F***ing Epic. Loved it, especially the repeat. This is yet another great song from you. Cheers.
This blew my mind Oo Amazing as always Dan!
Definately one of my favorites, this one's up on my list next to the Skyrim one and the Borderlands one.
That ending tho...I mean that beginning tho...? I mean that whole rap tho!!!!!

Nobody will call you a nerd for having basic knowledge on history

I'm not justifying war many men who were in wars don't want it no more but...but most men who have not feel drown to it because that's just our basic settings
It ended like it began.
This song deserves a rerelease.
Jesus christ, dude. Surpassed yourself, again.
I didn't know Dan was in the Mind-Screwing business...
This rap is art masterpiece!
and THAT, my friends, is why Dan Bull is a fucking master
This is insane even years later
this was by far his magnum opus
GOD DAMN. This was mind-blowingly good. You are an amazing rapper!
Because war... War never changes.
I see what you did there
You're not real.
THE NUMBERS, MASON!
oops wrong game
+Viktor Reznov the most over used line
Good job making a rap that works being sung backwards, takes a lot of skill to pull something off like that
raps forward
raps backward

Looks like my computer overheated.
At first I thought you had put up the wrong title but of course after watching the rest of this great video I understood it now :D
Good work Dan
My friend played this to me without any visuals. It took me until the chess part to realize that he was going backwards. This would be just as amazing of a rap if it wasn't for Far Cry. Well done, douglby. Hats off.
I've watched and listened to this so, so, so many times, and it amazes me every time. You're great, Dan!
Will we ever hear the Witcher 3 rap from You, Dan?
in the word of badass music everywhere I give this a triple god mode plus
"It began the same way it ended" That is some sweet work!
+Pheelyks Artifex "It ended the same way it began"
Imma be real. This song is a genuine work of art.
I've watched this a dozen or so times, that beat is hypnotizing as all sin.
It's amazing!
Dan, you're really a genius!
It's I shall always repeat.
REPEAT!
It's I shall always repeat.
Dan, you're really a genius!
It's amazing!
Great work as usual Danny! Still waiting on Far Cry 3 rap😟
+vcprovost Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Making a song about Far Cry 3 after I've done Far Cry 4 and Far Cry Primal.
+Dan Bull Then im insane! Cuz I keep asking the same thing over an over again expecting shit to change! LOL
Keep supplying us with that FIRE!!!
+Dan Bull Does it matter when Farcry 3 was THAT good?
far cry primal is the best stick poking simulator i've ever played
i love dan bulls music so much im trying to memorize hes playlist like i did with epic rap battles of history when i found dans music i was like YES expert level rap to learn word for word your primal and dying light songs are the 2 i have memorized atm keep it up dan
Blew me away, I was totally happy with the rap before it reversed but as soon as I realized what he was doing... just wow! Mind = blown!!!
