Do you know whats crazy? It will stop. And when the chapter closes they will be sealed in legend. This latent flash of raw creativity and charisma that came at a real shit time for many. Thats dope.
Multi-syllabic cadence doesn't make sense. Cadence is rhythmic delivery, it's nothing to do with syllables rhyming. That would tie in with "rhyme structure".
I was wondering for a long time if they had ghost writers... then it hit me They're classically trained old British men with an interest in gangsta rap. When you think about it, it makes perfect sense their bars are absolute fire. They learned the classic and are really old and thus very good at English poetry, and they're making gagsta rap. It's wild at first, but then you think about it and go "oh fuck", also keep in mind they're old af and have a lot of life experience
@@KakkaRotSRL Yep, and they aren't the first classically trained rappers. Here's one who you might kinda know: Tupac. Classically trained musicians carve it up in other genres too, MANY electronic music artists are classically trained.
Love that bar, even better when I realized the connection he made with "they ain't getting prints off of these hands." Prints like art pieces, awesome little scheme there.
Dudes saying he killed a guy without touching him, not art pieces ,,,,, feds can’t get them prints bc he didn’t do the murder himself idk if Yall are joking around but it’s quite obvious.?
"Double chuffin the blunt, chuggin the Bombay. John Wayne gait when I'm steppin on the runway. Six shot cut down; Winnie for the gunplay. Pray for my sins in a church on a Sunday" WHAT THE FUCK, THOSE BARS AND THAT DELIVERY SO SMOOTH
“I made it through the dark days, phantom, looking at the roof you can stargaze” Now I know the first reference in this is the roof of the rolls Royce phantom which has stars on it. But there’s another reference here. Phantom as is Phantom of the opera. He’s a disfigured musical genius who is not taken seriously because of his appearance. Bas was not taken seriously because of his age. Someone playing the role of the phantom gets to go on stage in prestigious theatres in an amphitheater and when they look up at the roof, they see celebrities watching them. Stars! This is by far the coldest damn line. There is not other rapper who are able to add this detail into lyrics. I mean ever. Honestly
This is the kind of stuff that got me geeked about gangsta rap when I was 12 and just heard NWA and all that in the early nineties. Didn’t expect these old English dudes to make a song even more hard than any of em. This was great
Love that the visuals are centered around the craft - the writing at the table and passing the mic back and forth tag teaming the beat. Just incredible. Definitely a couple of educated hip hop heads who have put in the time and work with the craft. Making me rethink rap being a young man's game. These guys have had more time to master it.
Absolute epitome of ‘Diamond Geezers’. Live from the UK. These guys are top 5 in the Uk without doubt. Their age is just a beautiful cherry on top. If they were in their 20s, regardless, their talent is undeniable.
damn, they are actually good. i mean legit good, this is not a gimmick we are talking about quality lyricism, incredible flow, and they got performance.
@@sungazer603they are not writing lyrics, but they are performing it themselves, what are u on about. It's their voices, they performed live numerous times. Ofc it doesn't sound as good as studio recording but still u can hear it's them rapping on the track.
This is one of the best songs ive ever heard. The beat is absolutely heavenly, the bars are hard as wrought iron, this is a fucking masterpiece. I'm blown away, y'all have outdone yourselves.
there's a musicality to the way these guys rap, it's almost like they're straight up singing at times. it works so well with the softer more subdued beat
"Kick back doesn't work well with the work ethic I been through the dirt, and I learned lessons when from a dinger with the dents in now I vents in my bonnet and pearlescent" some top notch rhyming right there, Good shit.
Thankyou Gentlement for the 'Longthorne' mention, we love it and we are truly humbled and think a factory tour is in order here ?? We wish Peter the very best with his treatment, very warm wishes Elaine and The Longthorne Team.
@yassinsuleiman655 Wrong! Pete and Bas got the tour, and the comment got likes without the need to promote their low profile channel. They are probably fully booked and don't want too much attention.
This is pure fire from the guys. I've been listening to them for years now and they never miss. This is my new favorite song from the guys. Salute Pete and Bas.
Both of these guys are straight fire. i wish they were around 20 years ago lol. Wild that they are better then most rappers now days. I can listen to them all day long. Seen that Pete has skin cancer, I wish you the best and a full recovery so yall can bring us more heat
There are so good you can actually listen to them loud through your music box not caring about neighbors thinking wtf is he listening to? It's literally top notch rap
I love how these guys have so much better of a grasp on what hip hop is compared to what we have nowadays in the states. This is the first time I have heard a Duo that I really like, and can't pick which of the two I like better. They both kill
"Skirt in the dark like a Wiccan Ripe for the picking Fried like a chicken He could have been alive but he's kicking the bucket Down to the bone finger licking" wow, just wow
I AM SO GLAD they are giving us a glimpse of their writing process (Pause @1:40). Here they are, at the mansion, sipping on wine, breaking bread and cheese, "constructing" lyrics! They are WRITERS, not freestylers. You can see that each verse is like a business decision. This explains their cohesion. People be like "Who is their ghostwriter? They couldn't possibly write their own lyrics!" Both are educated and have seen a lot. Bas is a professional musician, music teacher, and writer by trade who can play SEVERAL instruments, and you give them ALL of the time in the world to sit and write rap verses? Maaan...
SIRS!! When y'all going to be world touring. Jump across the Pond to the U.S.A. and do concerts.. There are some REAL fans out here like myself that be digging y'all music!!!
Oh shit it's the boyyyyy 🙏 amazing production, seriously. I've been playing music for the better part of 20 years and I'm always impressed. Keep up the great work, dude
Pete n Bas man, Cockney OG’s over here never disappoints. What i love is they lettin yall know there writhing there own bars on paper and in some parts of the clip spittin while reading the bars 🔥
Found my new favorite musicians
"I've tried to control him / I ought to delete him" = Control + Alt + Delete. Damn, even their laidback tracks have sick bars. Absolutely love these guys.
Yh i caught that one too. Best bar on the track for me!

Bars that have matured like fine wine!!!
maybe my new fave of theirs
love your stuff dan, but same, the black and white scheme pete did at the start is so underrated and the flow is immaculate
the OG
Well, now I can't stop thinking of how amazing this collab would be.
Collab! Collab! Collab!
I've literally pictured you them collaborating
"Fried like a chicken he could have been alive but he's kicking the bucket down to the bone finger licking"... one of the hardest bars I ever heard
AGREED
.7.,,.6., 1:30 1:30 1:30 , 1:30
Yes thats my shit❤❤❤😂😂😂😂they are hard every verse damn
Skirt in the dark like a Wiccan is an insane one liner
Yes!!! Go over heads.
I hope that Pete recovers from his cancer treatment soon.
Well done for the music lads
wait...what? how did I not know this?
Oh no :(
Witch one is pete

thats not truth right?
Protect these Gents They are Hip-Hops gift to the World.
Man these dudes have no reason to go this hard . This puts a smile on my face and a nod in my head .
Pete's fourth verse (hop skip and a jump....) Is unironically one of my favourite rap verses right now. Like what that shit is so cold
That verse fucking slaps bro!
Still, goosebumps, everytime
You geezers are smashing it. Please don't stop

🔥🔥
1:10 gave me chills. Flow's impeccable
1:45 gets me hype every time. The flow, the bars. Shit is 🔥
Cannot believe they are better than most actual rappers . And I am not exagerating
mans channeled his inner Giggs
Legit my favorite part. Chills every time
🐸🔥
Definitely the most polished song yet. They are getting better and better every time. So inspiring!
Facts , they are such a Legends ❤️👏✊😊🔥
Dude seriously, crisp production, incredible bars, a fantastic melodic beat... This is amazing
This is mint don't get me wrong, but Sindhu sesh is peak Pete and Bas
Window frame is a good one but I agree. This is the best so far 👌
Are they from the streets? Who are they? Are they industry plants, is it ardees uncle?
I'm sorry but this shit is actually INCREDIBLE. This might be their best drop yet, imo.
It's up there but can't forget about sindhu sesh that's disgusting🔥🔥
It's close but I still think the plugged in freestyle was the best, that back and forth they did was unbeatable 👌
Why are you sorry?
@@Kpnta because I can't listen to it for the first time again 😭
@@Razza90s I agree Sindhu Sesh is my fave
That is genuinely their best song i think.
The flow, the chill vibes.
Dude yes, totally agree. Gimme a ten hour loop, a blunt, and some mountain roads. You won't see me for a minute 🙌

What's good, from Baltimore to Kenya 🤘🤘🤘 hope you're doing well
Proves your never to old to live your dreams you should be everyone inspiration you go boys
"Ain't never leave a trace 'cause I did him up freehand" Pete & Bas kill it every time.
That went over every ones head ... Not me
Love that bar, even better when I realized the connection he made with "they ain't getting prints off of these hands." Prints like art pieces, awesome little scheme there.
true
@MrChoobsabre I feel like it means tattoo artist who dont "trace" and do the tattoo "freehand" and dont use a "print"

Work ethic / Learnt lessons / Pearlescent. Absolute masterpiece from Pete and Bas.
These 2 are living legends, the world has never seen anything like these 2
Never!!!!
I'm sure I heard some Muppet whisper F&M 🤣🤣🤣
They couldn't topple P&B 😆
The “im-peccable timing” and “when I’m locked up in a bunk bed” bars just toooooo nice

He actually says “bow” which is both the sound of bang! But also means literally bow, so he’s executing someone

Even Daniella Westbrook couldn't rip line quicker 🤣🤣🤣
You probably won't know her if you are not British, but Google is you friend 😉
Lmao I know her, literally has one big nostril now 🤣
Favourite duo 🙌🏽💯🔥❤️
UK is on notice. What these guys are kicking is the best.
91 shots killing it aswell. This is on repeat 🔁
I need an album or a vinyl. Would def support these grandpas
This is pure fire from the guys. I've been listening to them for years now and they never miss. This is my new favorite song from the guys. Salute Pete and Bas.
This is fucking incredible, they just continue to evolve, the flows, bars, rhyme schemes....this is nuts
Edit to previous statement, this is on mass repeat.
"I've tried to control him, I ought to delete him". Best bar I've heard in decades!
Even better when you realise it's CTRL, ALT, DELETE.
Huge fan here but I'm glad to see they're wearing clothes in this one.
Lol don't be too sure
speak for yourself 🥵
Yeah it's definitely the Northern Boys' turn to smuggle some budgies...
Huge fan too, but that's where our interests differ sir

What people should realise, is that.. unfortunately.. There might not ever be another 2 like these 2 🥲 Big up P&B 10x
There is the Northern Boys... their latest Punk-rap song F' the World is a complete banger.
It's the same person who did the frank and maury songs listen to the voice
There will be more. Loads more. But these two showed it was possible

Bruh. The way my face twisted up when I heard that… Mad
I literally paused the video right after that bar to check if someone in the comments has appreciated it.
clever lyrics
Never heard a song like this b4, they killled every fking bar man.
Pete and Bas are actually the Raekwon and Ghostface of the UK.
More like Jada and Styles
The amount of fire bars is actually taking the piss. These are not mid range. Straight lyrical fire.!!
A shot from that's an expensive round 🔥
I love how these guys have so much better of a grasp on what hip hop is compared to what we have nowadays in the states. This is the first time I have heard a Duo that I really like, and can't pick which of the two I like better. They both kill
These boys can never miss. I cant wait to hear this song 100 times over watching all the reactions to it.
My favourite OGs. Wishing Pete a speedy recovery. Cannot imagine not continuing to enjoy these guys for years to come 🙏
control alt delete line was haaaaaaaaaaard
I love how Bas moves when Pete is singing. Senior swag enjoying it while owning that shit
Seriously Bas is so soothing on this one. Still a fucking banger but his voice is perfect for this one.
