This record 19 years old. Jehst is so slept on it hurts. Huge props for checking it out man, I hugely dig your channel here in the UK
I think this album is his best he falls off really badly after this with the exception of a few tracks
This period of U.K. hip hop will never get the recognition it deserves, it fell between drum n bass/garage/grime at a time when a lot of hip hop heads only wanted to listen to Americans. Only real ones know
Respect for reacting to it
It's annoying that they dont get the recognition they deserve!! They paved the way for uk hip hop. 🤬🤬
One of my all-time top tracks, you did well man. Dope as f**k.
"I seek change like a busker but things stay much the same" ..... A simple bar but so perfectly written and delivered, I think it says it all. Probably the most memorable line for me in any record.
Keep up the good work!
Damn. I'm from the UK and never heard this guy. Lyricism is artwork 🎨 keep up the good work man!
This is in my opinion the finest song ive heard so far
Jehst is just ridiculously gifted , talented etc
A fxxkin einstein with a mic 🙌🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love that you gave this the time it deserves! Amazing tune and lyrics...one of the best! Whole album is next level 🔥
“Give me 26 characters for home sick travellers”
My inference is that when he moved from the sticks to the city he felt homesick and is searching for the right words to communicate this, like a traveller. Perhaps he’s even lost and can’t communicate this. Beautiful
I reckon “go home to my house made of glass and throw stones for a laugh” is a reference to self-sabotage and self-destructive tendencies; again linked to depression and the previous lyric about his world being overcast and living in the dark 🤯
Jam Baxter - Feek feat. Jehst 🙏🥺😁
This brings back memories.
Been waiting on this one. Jehst is a beast
Never skip this track
Don’t worry man, a track this dope needs to be analyzed in depth. Otherwise you miss a lot of shit like I apparently have for years.
I'm so glad to see a reaction to this track and see it blow someone's mind as much as it did mine back in the early 00's. Love your channel ❤ China shop Taurus is another one you should check ✔
personally i wouldnt mind if you did pause it at every single bar, the way you take in all this stuff and give your explanation, i would watch an hour this. good job
Got this on vinyl when it was first released!!!! Went to see him in Manchester last year and he performed this and the crowd when nuts ! Took my copy of adventures in new Bohemia 12” that he sighted in 2003 and got him to sign it again 2023 !!! And he gave me a free copy of him latest album that I highly recommend!!! Not only is he a beast on the mic and beats he is a really nice guy !!!! Respect to your channel from north uk

Yess!!!
Absolute classic, one of the UK’s best for years
Great reaction. God tier MC.
Yes @canadiandadreacts just got onto your channel and love your analysis of UK hip hop! If you like Jehst check out Alien, bars in that song are incredible, definitely one of my favourites!
Thank you 👊🏼
"Clutching at straws" is a phrase that means like, a desperate last ditch attempt at something. So he's using a grass/straw metaphor to say he's clutching at straws but it's backfiring. "I'm clutching straw but I'm cut by a blade of grass".
Just to add to that.. Straw is what you call grass.. as in straw bales (grass feed for cattle)
Might be stating the obvious but blade is a play on the literal instrument in case anyone missed that.
@@aronbradley-clarke4278 It's obvious now you say it but yeah I never really thought about that. Damn that bar has a lot of layers to it.
@@HarryDuBois616 think being cut by a blade of grass can also mean being overly sensitive, as grass is so soft and there are so many blades of it. So every little thing is hurting him, physically or emotionally even when he's already in a desperate place.
Jehst is the absolute greatest!
- “Physical” form is a “metaphor” for disorder.-
Fuck offfffffff, jehst is the best
Cheers for this, a decent walk through a complex track. I don’t know if you take suggestions from the comments any more, but Citizen Smith might be my fave Jehst track.
Keep making reactions. I love your channel
I’m sure that Jehst means no filler in some far off language, probably the first language used by mankind.
I’m gonna put it out there. This is Jehst’s best track
Word bro
Hmmmm don’t know about the best
It’s definitely up there I’ll give you that. 👍🏻 It’s gotta be city of industry for me though, I literally want to take that track to the grave with me.
Up there for sure, it's an absolute masterpiece 👌
@@cukkc What are your favourites out of interest
Love how much this channels escalated 🔥
If it makes you love him even more, this album was pretty much completely produced by Jehst himself
Rhyme Asylum - Ground Zero 🔥
Love jhest reactions
"Battling me? That'd be an embarrassing mistake
Like promoters who don't get the "H" in the right place"
@@paddy_wax 😂 it was 4am 😂
Jhest >jehst
I think you are right regarding the gypsy thing but also he grew up in the county side in my home town and I believe has gypsy descendants (not 100 on that) and moved to the city when he was pre teens and grew up there and so saw the contrast of the two.
One of my favourite Jehst tracks for sure lyrically and production-wise. Just remembered a Jehst verse today in the Parky produced track called 'Rice & Peas' right here ruclips.net/video/oxG6Ng1ieOg/видео.html - i think you'll enjoy it lol very different, but also very funny.
Apocalypse when - wordsmith, jehst and scribblah. Its a journey of a tune lyrically. Going through the stages of an apocalyptic situations. If not on your channel check it out and would be great to hear your thoughts.
Try 1979 by jehst.. or rise up by manage.. I remember the first time I heard this album in 2002 .. so good.. him along with taskforce got me into the uk scene..
Also "Mixing Smirnoff (Vodka) with Dandelion and Burdock (a root beer like soft drink)" in the hook, from Cosmic Gypsies as I'm sure you're aware haha
Hex one peep the steeze
He says "borderline" soon after "disorder" which I think is a reference to borderline personality disorder. Could be wrong though.
Definitely!
Yes, missed that the first time.
@@CanadianDadReacts you smash it every time man, always learn more from seeing your videos👌
JAYSTAR LOVES A DRINK.
LISTEN TO "OLD NO. 7" bro
Nightbreed ft Kyza would be another strong one from this era
Checkout my throwback Thursday playlist. It’s in there.
@@CanadianDadReacts oh yeah nice one. Another one that came to mind is Our Da Ville - Queen's Palace.
@@xtallegacy1183 that's a wicked tune +1
Your a don and a G as always cd and your analysis is perfectly on point as usual. But me personally I would prefer it if you keep your videos to under 20 mins otherwise I can’t really watch them, just a personal preference though. 👍🏻
I feel like kids would really pay attention in English class if they studied this track instead of a boring book that kids don’t pay attention to 🤔😂
clutching straws and cut by a blade of grass. - If you are clutching at straws or grasping at straws, you are trying unusual or extreme ideas or methods because other ideas or methods have failed. so it's trying new methods as others have failed but still getting 'cut' - or failing by a blade of grass. the link of straw and grass is obvious cos straw is basically dried grass. not too much into it - just nice wordplay.
I'm honestly not just upset, I'm pissed off at the fact I heard about jehst late, so glad I'm hearing it from you tho, I actually wanna get revenge on the music system but I don't know how, compare any of these absolute gems to recent artists... They get shat on I'm sorry (the new mumble rappers n that I mean) ☮️🇬🇧❤️🍻👀🦻
I feel ya on this. But I’m loving this “second chance” I’m getting with hip hop. Feels like I’m 13 again, discovering all these great artists.
@@CanadianDadReacts ah that's great to hear man ❤️, yeah I definitely agree to an extent, the only way I differ is being 22, a shed load of this stuff is new to me, like stuff that shouldn't be. Love the channel mate, keep kushty 👊🏻🦻☮️🇬🇧💖🍻
Oh, and another overlooked bang tidy banger, in my opinion is :
Lowkey - alphabet assassin
I'm not sure if you've reacted yet apologies if you haven't 😜
Please do Chester P Unkown dangers
Please can you do a video on mc life - moviedrome
It'll blow your mind.. I'd like to see how many movie titles you can name
Moviedrome by Life is dope. I would love to see his reaction to that.
@@quincybones7626 it'll be interesting to see his reaction and I'd believe Canada dad would be the first to make a reaction video to this track
