I will say, the song makes more of an impacts when listened to within the context of the album. The next song, HEAVEN ALL AROUND ME, is from Walter’s perspective going to heaven, and it ties everything together in a heartbreaking way. Great reaction guys!
finally man Saba too dope s/o to the guys in the comment section steady recommending this! this is one of those albums where the singles and individual songs sounds better in the context of the project
The whole album tells a story about how Saba and Walt became best friends and once they were about to take off, Walt was stabbed and killed. Saba then felt a sense of survivors guilt once he blew up and he felt as if Walt should have been there with him. And songs from the album such as heaven all around me, and BUSY/SIRENS are about Saba’s mental state after losing his best friend

SABA had my album of the year. This song and the next (Heaven All Around Me) had me in tears. Great artist who NEVER got the attention he deserved in 2K18 and that's why y'all got my favorite channel of the century! Thanks for the dedication Simon Dean and Junkyard Denton!!!! -YLGotBars
Hey I know you guys want to do some more Dreamville artists before they release Revenge of the Dreamers. Could you please do Night Job by Bas ft. J Cole? I have been a big fan of you guys since the beginning and I have been asking for months and months. 🤟🏽

I can totally see your guy's confusion with the lack of context. Loads of people were recommending this because technically it's sabas best and most impressive track. (Many peoples best track of 2018 including myself) However what I find so fascinating about his music is the versatility, and therefore prom/king might not be the best introduction to his music. I recommend listening to all of CARE FOR ME. It's a massive rollercoaster of greif and emotional development and is definitely worth the time. It personally helped me through some dead ass tough shit. For examples of his versatility I would listen to the track LIFE, stoney or HEAVEN ALL AROUND ME(which btw is an incredible follow up to prom king) sidenote: check out some of smino's shit - netflix & Dusse or Anita (he's cool with noname and Saba but his music is a fuck load more light-hearted :)
The entire album is a masterpiece in my opinion. This song is sort of the center of the albums themes and listen to the entire thing ties in this song incredibly
Props for getting to this Saba reaction, I recently discovered him myself because of the hype surrounding his Care For Me album that this track is from
This songs is a story about his relationship with Saba and his cousin Walter which you guys seemed to get but you HAVE to listen to Heaven All Around Me now. It's the end to the story. Legit almost made me cry. Beautiful paired together with this song.
One thing I think you’d appreciate that you missed is that when he met the girl before prom and talked about his heat beating the beat fades and you can hear his heartbeat as well as when the knife is pulled
The end was talking about his cousin Walter s death. He was basically Saba s best friend and a huge impact on his life. He wasn't close with that side of the family aside from Walter before prom so that was his aunt (Walters mom) calling because she hadn't heard from him for a while and was worried. Saba found out later that Walter was murdered.
Awesome that you guys are listening to this song. I think you should listen to the next song on the album, Heaven All Around me, right after this song. It's pretty impactful.
If Kendrick has an heir in Hiphop...it's Saba. Dude is special. Fresh off bumping Care for Me. You should definitely react to Life...so much depth and so much fun all at once.
Saba has a line in the beginning of the album where he says that walter got killed for a coat, and the last song Heaven All Around Me is important to understanding this songs message
Saba was extremely smart and graduated HS at 16 that's why he went to prom at 16 just for a little background
😲
“Jesus got killed for our sins, Walter got killed for a coat”-😢
Wrong song bud
that's Busy/Sirens. great bar tho
What’s wrong by Isiah Rashad ft. Kendrick Lamar is fire a most react song
Keep commenting for them to react to this but sometimes i just feel like im running in circles....
Wat's
@@davidruhl9217 3 years later but I see what you did there haha
might stay in trump tower for one week spray paint all the walls and smoke weed😂
I will say, the song makes more of an impacts when listened to within the context of the album. The next song, HEAVEN ALL AROUND ME, is from Walter’s perspective going to heaven, and it ties everything together in a heartbreaking way. Great reaction guys!
I literally cried tears one time listening to that song and it wasn't the first time I've heard it. Shows thats such a great song by an amazing song.
yeah the whole album builds up the background and emotion leading to prom/king. still a good song by itself though
The song in general is amazing it's like you're listening to someone right next to you telling a story
Ian Appleby one of the few ties that have actually brought a tear to my eye
Songs*
Saba - LIFE
Now you have to do BUSY/SIRENS
YES
and LIFE
Yes to both of these! Well Busy and SIrens on the album are one cut, but have two separate videos.
And heaven all around me
LIFE, LOGOUT, THE WHOLE ALBUM
NoName ft. Smino & Saba- Ace
TJ Fuze such a chill song
The song fucking SLAps
the beat on it is infectious, and the way they all ride it is so smooth
Saba murdered that verse and Noname is a damn poet
Yuuup. They should also react to their live performance on tv tho.
finally man Saba too dope s/o to the guys in the comment section steady recommending this!
this is one of those albums where the singles and individual songs sounds better in the context of the project
yeah, its understandably confusing to listen to PROM/KING without all the context behind it
NEED SMINO NOW!!!!!!
N Nasir I’ve only seen the melon and Shawn cee talk about him so its cool to see more people recognizing him
Fr man been rocking with this guy since angels. Too dope.

Think they’ve done ghost. May have been removed tho
Especially cocaine
Prom / king is one of my favourite songs ever and I’ve listened to it hundreds of times and I still realise new things every time I listenv
Walter being the one singing the end part and the”I hope I just make it to tomorrow” is heartbreaking
SABA had my album of the year. This song and the next (Heaven All Around Me) had me in tears. Great artist who NEVER got the attention he deserved in 2K18 and that's why y'all got my favorite channel of the century!

Please more Earthgang & Bas. We patient we don't mind waiting.
Earthgang - No Peace. It's lyrical
Cozz - Questions
Also Folgers Crystals by Cole as well. Such an amazing track
Saba has more accessible music which helps in his popularity but this song is definitely deep and was contender for song of the year in 2018 💯

Photosynthesis
rooster05 most accurate description of “care for me”. Complete project was dope.
2 years later still the best underground story telling I’ve heard
Finally... Thanks
Tetsu hope they like it🤞🏽
We did it I stopped about 4 days in but you carried the torch farther I’m proud of you 😭
@@Cheersroblox I got you bro 💪🔥
Tetsu what song by Saba should we ask for next ?
Arneis GT LIFE or stoney fr fr
The piano definitely makes it feel more foreboding
I believe the rapid beat at the end was made to represent stress and anxiety
FRANK OCEAN- PINK MATTER
PLEASEEEEE
Super rich kids with earls awesome verse too!
Musically the beat always reflects the emotion of the lyrics I feel that’s one of the best parts of this song.
Boogie- Soho ft. JID
I was not expecting this at all and I am so thrilled this is happening. Just a beautiful beautiful song.
This album was glorious and one of my favorites from 2018
React to Danny Brown - Really Doe featuring Kendrick Lamar, Earl Sweatshirt and Ab-Soul!!
Lewis Houghton how did I forget about this somg
This song is so fucking good
earls verse is so damn hard in that
Saba - Heaven......its the conclusion to prom king
The Fatima he references at the end of the song is actually Noname
SABA - BUSY/SIRENS BEST SONG OF HIS IMO
More mainstream than this song
that last line always gives me chills idk y but its so beautiful
Him, Noname, Chance, Vic Mensa are all from Chicago and know each other since school and Open Mic Events
Saba's a genuine guy, I've talked to him a few times and he has a sense of humor but also just a nice guy that cares. RIP Walt.
Do a full album reaction of his album “care for me” it was my favorite album of 2018
It's definitely a song where you need context, you guys should definitely check out the whole album.
The entire album is a masterpiece in my opinion. This song is sort of the center of the albums themes and listen to the entire thing ties in this song incredibly

I was waiting for this moment for so long!
Omg you guys did Saba!! This was my album of the year for 2018
Another layer is that voice at the end singing about making it to tomorrow is Walt, Saba’s cousin who dies who the song is about
This songs is a story about his relationship with Saba and his cousin Walter which you guys seemed to get but you HAVE to listen to Heaven All Around Me now. It's the end to the story. Legit almost made me cry. Beautiful paired together with this song.
