I am so happy to find someone who lives and breathes metal that also respects and adores hip-hop like this... it just great how one culture can mix into another so well...
I love my whiplash inducing playlists. Cypress Hill, followed by Fear Factory, followed by Tears for fears, followed by Oliver Tree, followed by Lizzo, followed by Blondie, followed by Powerman 5000, followed by Tori Amos. I love good music, period.
The Amish Paradise bit cracked me haha. I was a little metalhead kid in the mid 90's and bought the Gangsta's Paradise record when I was like 13 in 1995, growing up in suburban Sydney, Australia in the 90's the 3 big things kids at my school were into were 90's hip hop, NOFX/Pennywise style pop punk and nu metal. I agree with your bit about kids knowing the songs but not the artists, so many songs from the past have been in media over the years they've probably heard some songs a million times and never thought of who the artist is, it's just a song that's always there, same with you I had that a lot growing up with classic rock.
also being a aussie 90s kids (you r 2 years younger ) recordingtop 100 onto tapes! hip hop never was big in oz at all! lookat ticketsales ! so you reference is shiot!
@@iamnutty8471 not sure where in Oz you're from dude, I grew up in Penrith and finished school in '99, hip hop was massive amongst kids my age, there was a year or two in particular where it seemed like everyone was into Tupac, Dre and Snoop. Also, local Sydney hip hop local Def Wish Cast was a growing scene then too.
I had so much hope that Kriss Kross "Jump" would make the cut, love that song plus the novelty factor of it being kids would have been interesting to see them react to
I’ve introduced both my little brothers to 90’s Hip-Hop. I was lucky enough to be able to grow up around some of my favorite 90s rappers and have actual human conversations with them. I’m only 36 but I was hella privileged and honored to be able to experience that first hand. I am both a Metal Head and a hardcore Hip-Hop head respectively. Both my brothers 24 and 17 know about real Hip-Hop, and I’m a proud older brother for that. I’m honestly shocked they didn’t mention, SNOW!
as Ive watched more and more of these, Jackson has had the best range of music exposure and his parents need to get some serious respect for their taste and experiences transferring to him.
Nothing wrong with immediately going to Amish Paradise. I probably listened to that more than the original, so it's just stuck there. A fun similar fact: Don McLean has said that he's almost started singing The Saga Begins instead of his own song plenty of times in concert since Weird Al parodied American Pie.
Whenever I hear it, 100% what would be in my head or would come out of my mouth at the chorus - My my, this here Anakin guy. Maybe Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry.
Shock G was crazy underrated and they launched Pac. They where in the movie “Nothing but trouble” with Chevy Chase, Demi Moore, Dan Akroid and John Candy. Great movie!!
@@tanakinskywalker7089he started out as a road hand for Public Enemy with Treach. He got with Digital Underground and was a stage hand/ dancer while Shock G helped him learn how to pattern songs. He got his break with All Around the World, then signed with Interscope and released 2Pacalypse Now. He recorded the Strictly for My N's and Me Against The World albums on Intersope also. He signed with Death Row in '96
Watching you get excited for all these songs (especially Digital Underground) made my day. Made me miss the days of watching MTV after school before my folks got home.
I thought everyone my age knew 2pac came out with digital underground? The song in the vid is "Same Song" from the Nothing But Trouble soundtrack. Released Feb 1991. 2Pac debut album 2pacaplyse Now released in Nov 1991. I'm a late 80's baby, 90's and 00's Hip-Hop is literally the soundtrack to my life. I love it.
Gotta say, the production value in your channel has increased as you started to add the references to music styles as you talk about them. Thanks for the effort you put into this.
As a Swede growing up in the northern parts, the first song with rap I heard was Finnish Boomfunk MCs freestyler and beasty boys sabotage(if I'm allowed to call that rap...)😂, but that's in the same time I heard about this little edgy but cool punk band in the next village to mine setting fires to meat trucks and calling themselves Refused...🤔
Boomfunk MC's freestyler was huge, also in Switzerland. I guess it's hard to find someone born between 1985 and 1998 that doesn't know this song. A couple years ago i found the Battledragon version of this song, which has a video that is filmed in the exact same locations (pretty hard to find the spots with that wide spread, extensive subway network of Helsinki... ^^).
@@ajs787 as I've understood (not a American) and please correct me if I'm wrong; New York was an anomaly from the rest of the American music scene, it was often its own scene. In the way that the new york scene didn't care as much about the east vs west beef, even though it was a center for the early gangster rap (NAS etc). And that the punk and hip-hop scene in NY many times merged and collaborated, took inspiration and visited each others gigs, each genre of music wasn't as divided and segregated as in other parts of the US, NY has a long tradition of underground music pushing the boundaries of what's considered "x genre".
Im gen z and ever since i found my dad's eminem cd back in 2008 ive been listening to rap and through the past 7 years, I've been deep diving into different time frames and subgenres of rap.
13:40 Everlast was in La Coka Nostra, featuring Ill Bill and Slaine. Everlast did make a rock song in the early 2000s that was a major hit at the time. Ill Bill and his brother Necro, both rap legends, had a metal band as teens that opened for Obituary and Sepultura. They both reference and feature metal quite often. Look up Ill Bill's song "War Is My Destiny" featuring Max Cavalera.
First, this video gave me my whole LIFE. This was the soundtrack to my childhood. Secondly, I knew Tank was a Metal encyclopedia. I was today years old when I found out Tank is also a Hip Hop guru too! Bro when you said DIGITAL UNDERGROUND...😲😲😲 That is one for the archives! Respect Tank, you know your ish ✊🏾🤘🏾🫶🏾
This was a bad ass video bro, my son loves old school rap and r&b, there was an episode of Rick & Morty that featured Tony Toni Tone I was so proud he knew the song and artist’s 🤘🏼
When you mentioned Nas, instant goosebumps thinking back to my Uni years, when I used to listen to that album almost nonstop on my walkman! Damn good times!
I just saw down and watched your Gen z music reaction vids from Slipknot to this, and I've just been adding songs to my playlist that I've forgotten about 😂
@TankTheTech great content, thanks for posting. Love that you're musical taste is diverse! I have and always will be a "rock chick" ; that said I love many different genres of music. Also, sometimes I'm not great at who the artist is, other times I can recite chapter and verse song titles , artist, a bands history. Weird how it goes, it is what it is. I'm genuinely happy I subscribed to your channel.
Love how at the wnd you were talking about how youre the "old person" now... and then realized you had forgotten to press record 😂 . As someone who has almost 9 years on ya I can only say, welcome to your future 😊
I’m 10 years older than you. You saying your old is making me feel really old. 😂 I love watching you react to the react videos. Keep making them. It’s gold.
That Georgia Satellites example was perfect. We hear songs everywhere and don't usually have a dude like Casey Kasem adding who we just heard when it's done.
A both interesting and understated thing to note is understanding HOW Gen Z listens to music in general how they connect with it. With streaming you hear the songs on pre made playlists, BUT not necessarily connect it to WHO made the song. This was fun. It's cool to see how much Gen Z knows and them enjoying "older" music. Lol. 😉 Thanks for posting.
This is a massive generalisation I dont know anyone that listens to those absolutely fkin horrible premade playlists then again my friends probably listen to more music than most and definitely more rap than most and more critical about it. Everyone has their own lists that mostly overlap, but anytime someone finds something new that deserves a spot on the list they play it in the car and everyone adds it to their list lol
Growing up my dad had 2 cassettes: ZZ top and George Thorogood. Everything else while driving was classic rock radio, so I know the song, beat, lyrics but not the artist/band to so many songs. I can relate to that feeling very well.
Man as a west coast kid that graduated in the early 90’s…. Illmatic was a banger ! Every one had to give it up for that album regardless of what coast!
As a 90s baby I started with hip hop then moved onto pop punk and metal around 10, but then I also listened to everything my grandparents listened to (from Beatles to Sex Pistols to Iron Maiden to Bonnie Tyler was played in my house), so I feel ya on the being a metalhead but also 90s hip hop was a vibe
All these songs are my childhood. I grew up with ALL of these and i remember when they came out and how huge they were. And honestly all these hits are timeless and will stand against the test of time!
the ones i was a lil surprised to not see them make any reference to was a tribe called quest, public enemy and Jurassic 5 tbh chuck in some ol dirty bastard and really outkast
When they ask who's in the California Love song/video everyone usually says Tupac and Dr. Dre but the always leave out Roger Troutman. He's the one singing the only verse that everyone knows.
My favorite 90s hip hop song would probably be Dead Prez - Hip hop. The album it was on was released in 2000, but the single was released in March of 1999 so technically it's still a 90s track haha.
That went down the memory lane pretty well...before sticking to metal almost exclusively I was listening to all those 90's HipHop bands, and I agree that Nas Illmatic is top, my preference lay on the Wu-Tang Clan, specifically Method Man, for some reason I actually don't know anymore...and 2Pac of course, now that I think of it he definately ranked before Wu-Tang... Other favorites were Dr. Dre, Luniz, Outkast (specifically ATLiens), and the Fugees
I respect the fact you’re so knowledgeable about hip hop yet you’re willing to admit when you don’t know something and or that you recently found out about something and not make it seem like you knew all along. That’s very genuine and I respect that alot
Funny as hell how all the "community" kids straight knew Annie right away. As soon as they threw up some Broadway, they couldn't contain themselves lmao!
Industrial Metal like SKinny Puppy, NIN, MInistry sample A LOT. Nine Inch Nails sampled "Night Clubbin'" for Closer and it's not credited. Electro / Dance samples so much also, Metal has samples laid out throughout like Linkin Park, Slipknot, Deftones etc. Regular pop is covered in samples, same with R&B, there's a lot of genres, probably one artists in every single genre has had samples or taken elements from a song.
Lol totally into symphonic metal, Nightwish and Epica, but used to be into hip hop. Can't believe they didn't include: Slam by Onyx (was played at every dance I went to), Naughty By Nature - Hip Hop Hooray, and Whoop There It Is. 😂😂
Happy birthday! You’re one of the few RUclips’s that doesn’t make me feel old. I’m 31, and most are in their 20s. Even people like Dr Mike. But don’t worry 36 is not too old yet. You have plenty of time
Gotta say the comment in chat regarding knowing Amish paradise better then gangstas paradise "shows how white you are" cracked me up and feeling so guilty 😂
I'm not surprised Cube turned it down. One of the biggest things in the genre for people calling themselves a legit rapper, was writing your own stuff.
I know the younger Generation hasn't gravitated to Master P the way they have other 90s Gangsta Rappers, but Ghetto Dope was 1997. I mean Outkast was probably the first and finest of that '3rd Coast' 'Dirty South' rap, but Master P definitely put his stamp on the 90s. I can still quote C-Murder's verse from 'Come and Get Some' word for word all these years later. I think the trouble is most of Ghetto Dope was just too raw to get videos made, so it was a bit more underground even back in the day.
hahaha i loved how tank get the songs asap. Hahaha, thats a true lover of music man. And i share the thought about the thing that not only rap artist sample other music.
I think there were a lot of us that were coming into our own the ages of 12 through 14 as the 90s were starting that really didn’t give a fuck about the heavy-metal handbook that while we were getting into bands like Metallica and Pantera we were also listening to hip-hop as well. I grew up on metal and hip-hop and love them both equally. 2pac, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Warren G, Tha Dogg Pound, Tha D.O.C. , Nate Dogg, N.W.A, Westside Connection, Bone Thugs, Biggie, Eastsidaz , Xzibit, WC, Kurupt, Mack 10, Souls of Mischief , Domino , Coolio, Bad Azz, MC Eiht.…. That was the shit that I really loved in the 90s. Then the end of the 90s and early 2000s it was everything that Dr. Dre kicked off with Aftermath/Shady/G-Unit . Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, D12, G-Unit, Obie Trice, Game, etc.
Same here, My parents would bump all that stuff growing up so I ended up just listening to both genre's but I was born in '02 so I wasn't in the prime time for it but it still worked out lol
I wasn't much of a rap listener as a kid/teen so I didn't know a bunch of these songs, I did know all but 1/2 artists though. I mostly listened to rock and metal at that age. Like how I got to know Iron Maiden and Fear Factory because of a game called Carmageddon.
As being basically one of the oldest gen z's this is the stuff i grew up on. Between an older sister and parents, cube, 50, biggie, pac, nas, tone, d.u., all of it was symbolic of my upbringing haha
Your comment about how kids know Ice Cube from movies reminded me. On other REACT videos, when Phil Collins shows up, the kids ALWAYS refer to him as the Tarzan guy. In the 1980s, it seemed like half the hits on the radio were Phil Collins, either solo or a Genesis song. Tarzan is like the tail end of his career, but pretty much all the kids know him for is that. I think Will Smith gets the same treatment, tbh.
...love da comment ya gave,... about knowing older tracks/ songs word for word.. and not knowing what they looked like!... shit, we grew up with mtv/bet.. throughout our younger years!... they decided to change to reality tv shits! 🙄🤣🤣🤣
Respect for these youngsters! 😆. I was born in ‘83. I knew all the songs, but I grew up in that era. I know a lot of music from earlier decades, but I would probably struggle with names and faces.
You saying you feel old and are turning 36 sent me since I just started getting into the RUclips metal videos this year going on 39, love your videos regardless
I was a massive hip hop fan as I was born in 1987 but loved nu metal aswell. Cant understand when people say I hate this genre or this genre, to me good music is good freaking music. This days ill listen to soft rock, r&b, rock, jazz, and even pop ofcourse including hip hop and nu metal
Jackson KNOWS every single song in every episode. KID HAS SOME DOPE RENTS! *sideways hip hop, crossed arms, sideway hat, windbreaker hat back to back Pose*
Man, thinking back. The last cassette I owned was either a Meatloaf album or Skeelo lmao. That sounds pretty odd, but I've always been into all music. Even stuff from the 50's
When this generation thinks of the 90’s they’re actually just thinking of the 80’s. The 90’s was something else, their was so much grittiness to the 90’s
About the age thing. I turned 38 in March and know exactly how you feel. I didn't listen to much rap when I was younger just because of where I lived and my Rock/Metal father didn't particularly care for the music. Listened to it when I wanted to explore music, but on the whole I appreciate it when I come across it occasionally. I guess it really does depend on where/when you are at any on given moment. Can't wait for the collaboration, it sounds cool. Love from Australia ❤❤❤
I am so happy to find someone who lives and breathes metal that also respects and adores hip-hop like this... it just great how one culture can mix into another so well...
I find that if you listen to the extremes of one music you kinda like the extremes of other music
@@Otes exactly

Agreed 👍🏾💯, it's crazy seeing a young guy with that much depth when it comes to old school music of MULTIPLE genres.

Easily the best period.
Late 80s to mid to late 90s for me. But it definitely peaked around 93-96.

Beastie Boys were VERY heavily respected in the New York hip-hop scene, so I'd say they count.
100% true, but the Beasties were never in the conversation when it came to a lot of the East vs. West battles, which a lot of this came from.

Funny as hell how all the "community" kids straight knew Annie right away. As soon as they threw up some Broadway, they couldn't contain themselves lmao!
Industrial Metal like SKinny Puppy, NIN, MInistry sample A LOT. Nine Inch Nails sampled "Night Clubbin'" for Closer and it's not credited. Electro / Dance samples so much also, Metal has samples laid out throughout like Linkin Park, Slipknot, Deftones etc. Regular pop is covered in samples, same with R&B, there's a lot of genres, probably one artists in every single genre has had samples or taken elements from a song.
The one who put "roll a blunt," they're going places
another fact about Tupac and Digital Underground is Tupac was a backup dancer for them.
Lol totally into symphonic metal, Nightwish and Epica, but used to be into hip hop. Can't believe they didn't include: Slam by Onyx (was played at every dance I went to), Naughty By Nature - Hip Hop Hooray, and Whoop There It Is. 😂😂
Sampling is what makes rap so amazing and fascinating....
Happy birthday! You’re one of the few RUclips’s that doesn’t make me feel old. I’m 31, and most are in their 20s. Even people like Dr Mike. But don’t worry 36 is not too old yet. You have plenty of time
Gotta say the comment in chat regarding knowing Amish paradise better then gangstas paradise "shows how white you are" cracked me up and feeling so guilty 😂
I'm not surprised Cube turned it down. One of the biggest things in the genre for people calling themselves a legit rapper, was writing your own stuff.
HAPPY MO FKIN BIRTHDAY MY DUDE!!!! early or late i hope you have/had a great one and thank you for all the entertainment, information and great vibes!
I know the younger Generation hasn't gravitated to Master P the way they have other 90s Gangsta Rappers, but Ghetto Dope was 1997. I mean Outkast was probably the first and finest of that '3rd Coast' 'Dirty South' rap, but Master P definitely put his stamp on the 90s. I can still quote C-Murder's verse from 'Come and Get Some' word for word all these years later. I think the trouble is most of Ghetto Dope was just too raw to get videos made, so it was a bit more underground even back in the day.
hahaha i loved how tank get the songs asap. Hahaha, thats a true lover of music man. And i share the thought about the thing that not only rap artist sample other music.
I think there were a lot of us that were coming into our own the ages of 12 through 14 as the 90s were starting that really didn’t give a fuck about the heavy-metal handbook that while we were getting into bands like Metallica and Pantera we were also listening to hip-hop as well. I grew up on metal and hip-hop and love them both equally.
2pac, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Warren G, Tha Dogg Pound, Tha D.O.C. , Nate Dogg, N.W.A, Westside Connection, Bone Thugs, Biggie, Eastsidaz , Xzibit, WC, Kurupt, Mack 10, Souls of Mischief , Domino , Coolio, Bad Azz, MC Eiht.…. That was the shit that I really loved in the 90s. Then the end of the 90s and early 2000s it was everything that Dr. Dre kicked off with Aftermath/Shady/G-Unit . Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, D12, G-Unit, Obie Trice, Game, etc.
Same here, My parents would bump all that stuff growing up so I ended up just listening to both genre's but I was born in '02 so I wasn't in the prime time for it but it still worked out lol
No Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, Bone Thugs?!?! Busta Rhymes?! The music video for "Put your hands where my eyes can see" is top tier!!!
I wasn't much of a rap listener as a kid/teen so I didn't know a bunch of these songs, I did know all but 1/2 artists though. I mostly listened to rock and metal at that age. Like how I got to know Iron Maiden and Fear Factory because of a game called Carmageddon.
A lot of people don't know Everlast got his start With the Syndicate Under the tutelage of of one Mr. Tracy Lauren Morrow Aka Ice T
been watching for a few months, forgot to subscribe. Your channel is cool. Thanks for your insights!
As a big fan of Cypress Hill and Beastie Boys, I'm a little disappointed they weren't featured. But at least Missy Elliott was included.
As being basically one of the oldest gen z's this is the stuff i grew up on. Between an older sister and parents, cube, 50, biggie, pac, nas, tone, d.u., all of it was symbolic of my upbringing haha
Your comment about how kids know Ice Cube from movies reminded me. On other REACT videos, when Phil Collins shows up, the kids ALWAYS refer to him as the Tarzan guy. In the 1980s, it seemed like half the hits on the radio were Phil Collins, either solo or a Genesis song. Tarzan is like the tail end of his career, but pretty much all the kids know him for is that. I think Will Smith gets the same treatment, tbh.
Worked in a music store in the 90's and these were all on the playlists!
That kid who looks like MatPat was on point. Respect.
90’s hip hop was full of hard core lyricist
Ice T and Ice Cube even made a movie together 😅
90's Hip Hop was probably the best time ever
Fun fact, 2Pac was a background dancer for Digital Underground before they put him on a track. That's why he was with them to begin with.
...love da comment ya gave,... about knowing older tracks/ songs word for word.. and not knowing what they looked like!... shit, we grew up with mtv/bet.. throughout our younger years!... they decided to change to reality tv shits! 🙄🤣🤣🤣
the Diary that scareface put out on 94 is still my favorite rap album
Respect for these youngsters! 😆. I was born in ‘83. I knew all the songs, but I grew up in that era. I know a lot of music from earlier decades, but I would probably struggle with names and faces.
You saying you feel old and are turning 36 sent me since I just started getting into the RUclips metal videos this year going on 39, love your videos regardless
Happy Birthday Tank
I was a massive hip hop fan as I was born in 1987 but loved nu metal aswell.
Cant understand when people say I hate this genre or this genre, to me good music is good freaking music.
This days ill listen to soft rock, r&b, rock, jazz, and even pop ofcourse including hip hop and nu metal
Jackson KNOWS every single song in every episode. KID HAS SOME DOPE RENTS! *sideways hip hop, crossed arms, sideway hat, windbreaker hat back to back Pose*
Bone definitely deserves a spot without question
Man, thinking back. The last cassette I owned was either a Meatloaf album or Skeelo lmao. That sounds pretty odd, but I've always been into all music. Even stuff from the 50's
This is classic Gold!! Hahaha I love it man!
Thanx for that time travel. Greets from Germany.
Great hip hop reaction.
When this generation thinks of the 90’s they’re actually just thinking of the 80’s. The 90’s was something else, their was so much grittiness to the 90’s
Fun fact, digital underground was in the movie Nothing but Trouble
90s hip hop will always be better than any hip hop made today!
About the age thing. I turned 38 in March and know exactly how you feel. I didn't listen to much rap when I was younger just because of where I lived and my Rock/Metal father didn't particularly care for the music. Listened to it when I wanted to explore music, but on the whole I appreciate it when I come across it occasionally. I guess it really does depend on where/when you are at any on given moment.
Can't wait for the collaboration, it sounds cool.
Love from Australia ❤❤❤
I love these kids! They really know their stuff.
Jaxon is the man. Dude has a wide appreciation for all sorts of music.
