Top Picks For You is like an otherworldly sadness, just imagine going on a recently deceased loved one's RUclips page and being smacked in the face with a reminder that the world is just continuing on without this person. There is no more "You" in the "Top Picks For You". Just content fed into a void. The synth lead makes me shiver every time, I hate and love it.
I understand the context of Top Picks For You. But I heard this album very, very shortly after my brother passed and how his six year old son watched him die. And how closely he looks like him. And everything that he does is so reminiscent and every time he says “He looks just like you, he looks just like you…” fucking. Kills. Me.
my favorite album of last year!! super hyped to hear you listen to this. knees was also my favorite track of last year, it is definitely the most emotionally connected i’ve felt to a project in a long time. i’m glad you like the other 4 projects they put out too!!
Hi nick
Hi nick
Hi nick
Hi nick
Hey Nick!
Incredible album... really hard to put into words what they did here and how it was so successful at pulling on so many emotions. I look forward to more listens and talking about it more next week 🤘
your reaction to knees is exactly how every injury reserve fan felt listening to that song. that song is so damn powerful
I listened to this album when it came out and appreciated how different it was, liked a few songs quite a bit, but ultimately left it alone for a while. Some time after, shortly before they were going to perform in Phoenix, my uncle died of covid. Everything about this album suddenly clicked. I've never cried so at a concert before and felt so deeply moved. At the end of the show everyone got together for a huge group hug and chanted "RIP!" I know it was for Groggs but for me it was also for my uncle. I don't think anything will top how I felt at this show, as far as live performances go. I'm so glad this came out when it did. RIP Tío Jay.
Rest in peace to your uncle, man. 🙏🏽 It’s beautiful how music can connect to us and bring us together in such a way, based on our own emotions and life experiences.
Rip to the uncle man hope ure doing better 🙏🙏
The group hug at the end is incredible. That right there show how this album connects.
@@bobthepoppop it was incredible
@@trvyycrtr2206 @T.D.F Designs thanks guys
You can imagine the first track as entering a personal and worldly storm, with his own personal issues and the world's too, and Bye Storm as lifting oneself from that place through the brutal honesty of the album. At least that's what it feels like to me
Oooh, interesting
If swans or gybe is post rock, this is post rap almost by definition - atmosphere over conventions like melody or harmony. Heard it about last week and it just took me to another world. Feel like this reaction will be another bob classic
I agree.
What else you would considered a post-rap?
@@Frdnnd THE GHOST~POP TAPE by Devon Hendryx
@@backup5977 really? Idk, i can somewhat connects some dots between albums like To Be Kind and Lift yr fist... to BTTTIGTP, but not with that one 🤷♂️
@@backup5977 i guess i misunderstood a little bit, i expect post-rock and post-rap to be somewhat "Apocalyptic" in a way 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Shoutout Black Country new road and Black Midi for their samples on this masterpiece. It’s incredible to see some modern day crossover between some of my favorite groups
Thank you for breaking down this masterpiece. If you’re feeling adventurous about more experimental, glitchy, collage-like music like this consider trying Slauson Malone’s “A Quiet Farwell, 2016-2018”.
I don’t hear this album being talked about enough, it is an amazing listen
Red Burns comin😪
Great recommendation
I'll probably give this one a listen on my own sometime, only because I don't recall it ever being mentioned before.
@@bobthepoppop you should wait to listen to it on video, even if it’s not for awhile. I think it’d make a great video
This album is a masterpiece
Not even considering the concepts, how the actual hell do you come up with these instrumentals
The beat to Superman That has grown to be one of my favorites of all time. It’s so layered yet the groove is so nuanced, revealing itself more and more with each listen.
I’ve cried several times while listening to this album. i definitely recommend watching the music video for knees. it’s beautiful and heartbreaking
Just put it on. Very well done.
@@bobthepoppop that was the first thing i saw from them after groggs passing. i balled
man this is like one of the greatest hip hop records ever made imo, genuinely. music that has the ability to impact you personally on this level is super few and far between. powerful as hell
Very powerful
The only feature on there, Zelooperz is on Danny Brown’s label. He’s got a bunch of great projects worth checking out. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him a few times and getting to see him live with Danny and by himself more than once. One of my favorite rappers
except dynomite which projects u reccomend?
@@vVincent. Van Gogh’s left ear, Valley of Life, and Get wet radio (on bandcamp only rn)
@@gavinroberts7932 van Gogh's left ear was def the next one on the list. fucking love bash bandicoon
Can't stop tearing up as I see someone feel this album as I did. Love you Bob.
❤
"Wild Wild West" AKA the World Wide Web. Loved your interpretations of this masterpiece Bob!
Wow
Bob. I wanna thank you for always, without failing, bringing new perspective and shining new light onto albums I already love. I'm so glad that you share these things with us. Thank you.
I appreciate it, and I'm glad I can bring something new to the table. That's certainly one of my main goals.
Black Country, New Road reactions would be whole-heartedly accepted by me; my favourite band in the world
I would love that but they’re not rap, amazing band though.
@@newjjjjj927 yeah i guess that's true. i'm happy with anything bob listens to tbh
@@retnugnahte tell me the place where he inserted the bladeeeeeee
@@bruh-nk6hi PRAISE THE LORD BURN MY HOUSE
@@newjjjjj927 it doesn't have to be rap for Bob to react to it
Slauson Malone is someone definately worth checking out, he toured and opened for BTTIGTP tour. Incredible fusion of jazz, experimental hip-hop and so much more, a good starting point is his album A Quiet Farewell, 2016-2018.
Farwell* (sorry)
It's weird to explain but I feel like the chaos and pain of Ritchies rapping and Parker Corey's production are very different but blend incredibly well somehow
Yeah, somehow it works
this album is the most emotion-packed album I've ever heard, I'm so glad you get to hear it for the first time
'Top Picks For You' gets me, every time.
Hey bob. First time I listened to this I was tripping off 1.5 tabs of acid. Needless to say I have a very strong connection to this album. I really connected to the first track especially with how kind of open ended the lyrics are it’s really easy to project your own shit onto it and that’s exactly what my tripping brain did. You kinda helped me dislodge some of the delusional interpretations I’ve had of some of the songs meanings. I still think the general vibe I got from the first track is valid though. Just this ruthless aversion to avoidance. Someone being sick and fucking tired of people ignoring the clearly wrong acts sitting right in front of their fucking face. Absolutely connects with me, and that epic ass outro gets me every time. You were spot on with that top picks for you analysis. And I think the lyrics in “bye storm” really help to alleviate the need to pick each lyric apart with Ritchie saying that he won’t “show everything” some stuff is just for their understanding and I think that’s okay. Another thing I absolutely adore about this album is how some tracks foreshadow others with some of the soundscapes or lyrics while others can use the same process to call back to earlier tracks on the album. It really makes the whole thing feel insanely cohesive and as someone whose listened to tons of different music I can concur with your “I’ve never heard anything like this” statement. This is truly next level one of a kind and art like this makes me feel blessed to live in the era of the fall of capitalism even with how shit everything is. One last thing, I super heavy feel Ritchie on SS San Francisco with his verse, the overwhelming fear of having children (I’m 21 turning 22 in a week) in a time where every year the climate drastically worsens, yet our society expects us to push out more worker bees for their factories with a complete disregard to the emotional trauma my generation will feel when our children are pumped full of micro plastics, have no nourishing food, have no stable future, and aren’t even guaranteed a safe home, all under a system that dosent give a fuck about us. “Nah you can’t force me through that shit” really fucking connects. Loved this video and love you bob, hope for nothing but good things from you.
I wish I could disagree with your rant... but in all honesty, I don't.
This was easily one of the most satisfying and vindicating reactions you've ever done. I adore this album, and you seemed to connect with it in a very raw way, like I and many others
Thank you. Given the experiences I've had with some of these albums, that means a lot to me.
If you're down for another intense set of listens similar to this, I STRONGLY recommend the last two Lingua Ignota albums, Sinner Get Ready and CALIGULA.
Though they aren't in the hip-hop genre you've been covering lately, these records dive heavily into the grief-heavy themes similar to this one. It shows someone's intense personal experiences with abuse through a lens of biblical proportions, and, especially with sinner get ready, is some of the most painful music I've ever heard.
Sounds rough lol... maybe someday
@@bobthepoppop haha yeah it's rough for sure! if you ever decide to just make sure you're taking the time you need with it, cannot recommend it enough as an experience though!
@ash2ash Just wanted to say thank you for this comment, I gave those albums a listen just from your recommendation and holy shit... I haven't had an album pull me in and surprise me like that in a long time. And for it to happen two albums in a row?? Insane. It really encapsulates everything I adore about art. Kristin Hayter is incredibly strong and talented for having made them. Thank you again for the recommendation! (:
@@joravadamee6646 hey you're welcome man!!!! super glad you ended up liking them!!!
Its still crazy seeing you with a new camera high quality bob looks beautiful
Knees brought me to my knees man. So powerful and crushing.
Haven't watched it yet but I'm predicting the tears start pouring at Top Picks For You because that song is just something else...
You are by far one of the best music accounts on RUclips when it comes to fully absorbing the music. Not only is it cool to see someone take in all the layers of a song but it helps the viewer develop more of an understanding with the music.
I honestly love your videos. It always elevates my experience of the album and I thank you deeply for it
Easily the best reaction/review you’ve given so far. It’s so awesome seeing how far you’ve come since you started this channel. Keep up the incredible work
this is one of my fave albums of all time, so excited to hear you listen to it
one of my favorite albums of all time thank you for covering it!!
My favorite Reaction of yours, Bob. Been watching since 5k subs, proud of how far you came and excited for the future. Thank you for making my fridays better!
Thanks for following along for so long, I appreciate that :)
this is one of my fav albums ever. i didnt even like it on my first listen, but the more i listened to it i developed a weird and strong emotional connection to it that i cant explain or have with anything else. its so chaotically beautiful that it makes me feel at peace, almost like my darkest moments are finally translated into something i can comprehend and grow with. thank u for this reaction, bob. your way of explaining your thoughts really helps me with the translation i was talking about and with building a stronger connection to this project. im sure you'll come to absolutely love this album even more with your next few listens !
one of my fav bob videos, thank u for this
I feel like you’d be a wonderful candidate to have an honest discussion with Injury about everything from their music, to life and grief and all that’s in between. You’re both very perceptive entities and I would truly love to see a conversation between you and them someday. Goes without saying that I hope this reaction reaches their ears.
I find this comment very flattering. I'd obviously love to have that opportunity, but at this exact moment... man. What do you even say, ya know? But then I think of where it starts and where it eventually goes, and it would be an amazing conversation.
Bob getting to the really juicy hip hop albums now
I've been awaiting your reaction to this masterpiece, glad you enjoyed it as much as I did on my first listen.
Very challenging, but so worth it. I'm glad I took the time to listen to the other albums first and understand as much context as I could before coming into this one.
Thank you for doing this, this is an adventure! Real life emotions into all forms of sound!!
Hope this reaction gets the love it deserves❤️ such an amazing album
Omg so excited you did this album it’s one of my favorites!! It’s not a sound I usually listen to but it really moved me
Yeah this is definitely one you’ll have to do a couple listens to. Amazing album. Super happy to see you finally get to this one. Really hope you enjoy it. Great to see that you’re a big experimental hip hop fan.
i'm so happy to see this. my all time favorite album holy shit
im glad you enjoyed it so much, bttigtp really is a one of a kind record. specifically i think top picks for you is one of the most harrowing songs depicting death ive ever heard, up there with stuff like Lazarus by Bowie. i cried to the same exact part as well haha, can't wait to hear your thoughts on the album later next week
been waiting for this one
Thank you so much for making me re listen to this album after a year of not hearing it. Knees hits hard man.
Yo between this and Clipping you are just hitting all my favorite music.
I love this reaction and I love you Bob
I just can’t make it through this record without crying.
I’m not gonna lie, Superman that is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard, it’s so addicting
Cant stop breaking down with this album
Glad you got to this one and their catalog in general.
can't wait 'til you get to Some Rap Songs by Earl Sweatshirt. the IR album and Earl's album are extremely different but both portray sorrow perfectly, and both are like no other album i've heard b4. mind-expanding records imo.
love your videos Bob! Especially the mac ones 92 til infinity!!!!
beautiful album, great video
Love this album for how vividly it portrays a mindset, it does not always tell a cohesive story as much but instead the production, lyrics and vocal performances come together to suck you into their brains. Tragic and overwhelming but also incredibly impressive.
edit: now seeing the reaction, I love how it fades in and out of clarity around Top Picks for You, having one of the most rational moments during that track and then jumping immediately into probably the most unhinged track of all (wild wild west). That manic energy is powerful
The world needs more people like you bob
This album was one of my favorites of last year, it blew me away, I truly believe that this album is the future for rap music. I'm so interested to hear your thoughts about this one, so let's go.
One of my fav albums of all time.
Snapbacks are a type of hat that were popular in the early 2010s
Thanks for the reaction Bob. Saw this album preformed live earlier this year it was intense and awe inspiring like no other concerts I've seen before.
Reaction spoilers below
Your silence at the end was powerful and so indictive of what a good listen of this album can do to you
you can really describe and see things through sounds, not just lyrics. would be interesting to see you reacting to some post-rock
I really enjoy post rock, though I don't get to explore it much, just know some of the bigger names (This Will Destroy You, Explosions in the Sky, Red Sparrows, etc)
@@bobthepoppop react to spiderland by slint !! you would be surprised the overlap in audience between these rap albums you've been listening to and post rock stuff like slint, swans, and stuff like that. but if you like digging into lyrics like this you will adore spiderland
Injury Reserve is performing at my school next week and I am beyond excited
WHAT
‘black country, new road’ were sampled on superman that and they’re a great new rock band - definitely worth checking out
same with black midi who were sampled on knees as well
@@finlaylonghurst they're the same band lol
@@chune4383 ?
@@mocapcow2933 it's an inside joke ig..
@@chune4383 yeah, I know the inside joke, but I have also heard this exact comment that has been said sincerely
knew top picks for you would be the one lmao. Gets me every time.
Such a good song
YOU FINALLY LISTENED! Awesome
This album is a MASTERPIECE.. thank you for listening Bob.
Masterpiece, Bob. Masterpiece.
Fantastic reaction. Fantastic album. As I'm sure you've noted from the comments and your own research, a lot of people consider this album "post-rap" as in an atmosphere/sound focused rap album in the same vein as post-rock. I would love to see you react to some post rock if you ever feel up to it and comfortable with taking this channel outside of the rap genre. Bands like Swans and Slint are mind blowing post rock groups.
That'd be fun... maybe someday, after I get through the massive back-catalog of classics that still remain.
that last frame right before cutting the video off is the happiest sadness i’ve ever seen
top 5 album of all time for me. absolute masterpiece!
Easily my favorite album of the decade so far and I'd be really shocked if anything beat it for me. I have listened to these guys for such a long time (dating back to Cooler Colors for those that know, props) but the death of Groggs fucked me up. They essentially created a genre with this album. But more than that, this is exactly how depression and anxiety and the absolute depths of hell sound like. The way Silent Hill as a game captures that, this album does. Its fucking staggering. But also comforting? I just think it's the best shit I've listened to since at least Blonde by Frank Ocean, but it's certainly a top 10 album all time for me. Sorry for the long winded answer. Also that dude had a whole bottle with him every single time I ever saw him in person after a concert and I'd see it open up, and it did not take long for that shit to be empty or glance over and a portion is gone quite quickly. Love these guys to death though and RIP Groggs. Forever.
A big inspiration for this album was an artist called Slauson Malone. Much like this album ‘a quiet farewell’ is something unlike any other I’ve heard. A mixture of lots of guitar and soulful sampling stuck in a void of glitch and chaos. Is right up ur alley Bob would love to see a reaction or for u to check it out in ur own time👍
the music video for knees is unreal
One of a kind masterpiece
Hey bob, you need to check double trio their last single under injury reserve that out this year. It is song of the year and mv of the year by a big margin ❤❤
THAT CAMERA LOOKS FUCKING CRISP BOBBY !!
knees is such a heavy track, highly reccomend giving the music video a watch. great album.
Thanks for this one of my favorite albums of all time
YESSS This album is incredible imo
you should def check out black midi! one of their singles were sampled in knees
and black country, new road while he's at it tbh. both my favourite bands in the world right now
@@retnugnahte for sure! Ants From Up There is amazing, iirc superman that also samples bncr
Not rap
@@duppy404 doesnt matter. Once you dive into these critically acclaimed albums you start listening to more praised shit. Basically anyone who loves this album also loves Black Midi, BCNR etc etc
@@duppy404 geordie greep is a rapper man
I think the tie in with Isaac Hayes version is pretty spot on, great video
I love Wild Wild West so much in retrospect. It reminds me of a part of this movie 24 Hour Party People, this biopic/mockumentary of the Manchester music scene, and it deals with the suicide of Ian Curtis and the end of Joy Division, but after there's a scene where they emphasize that he wasn't just a sad person, there's more to him, and it was a scene depicting them all at their happiest, and it felt like this song was inserted where it was to be like, remembering a person passed isn't done best by focusing on their downfall, but by remembering the great things they brought to everyone while they werewith us, and they do that by letting him take center stage for a whole song and casually spitting one of the most intense and creative verses on the whole album
Tied with LP for my favorite of last year, it’s pretty hard for me to listen to top picks for you without crying.
Based
Thank you Bob
they go by "by storm" now, i'd love to hear what you think about their new single double trio!
Hey Bob, I'd highly recommend you check out Xiu Xiu if you like this. It's not hip-hop, but it's so full of different textures and strange chaotic layers, as well as intriguing lyricism. I'd start with A Promise :)
Nice album cover too :)
Billy Woods
PLEASE
woah i didn’t see this coming!
Knees just absolutely destroys me. Devestating song.
Still remember that first time listen shit broke me
incredible.
Yeah what you said about trying to show people this album and it sounding too weird without context is incredibly accurate
Please all injury reserve albums
EDIT: Ah damn
i just listened to this album days ago
Your wife probably will love the Animal Crossing sample in postpostpartum
Great Great Great album
Interesting reaction keep it up Hopefully one day you get to black on both sides by mos def top ten albums of all time
fucking masterpiece
This is an incredibly challenging but rewarding album
You're not supposed to get much on the first listen. I think it took me at least three listens to get the gist of what they were doing
we need a rocker reacts to kick iii
YEEEEEEESSSSSSS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES THIS ALBUM IS FIREEEEE
bob = 🐐
