This guy is the logical culmination of the "music reaction" RUclips genre. He is the pinnacle of a video category plagued by the lowest of efforts. Something about the unconventional way he experiences music, completely immersing himself and not troubling with the nitty gritty, lends itself perfectly to this content. He even makes his own additions to the songs in real time. You can watch as the music washes over him, and see it flow through him. The rest can go home now. He's perfected the formula.
I think that's all reaction videos in general. That's why this genre of youtube videos mean a ton to me. I would love to go back in time and experience an album for the first time. And if I can't do that, I'm going to watch another person's reaction and compare it to my own. Reaction videos have completely changed my opinion on music.
Runaway was his “comeback song” after the whole taylor swift incident. he basically disappeared for a year and reappeared at the VMAs to perform this song - hence the toast to douchebags, scumbags, assholes - that’s what the media was calling him at that time makes the song even that much better when put into that context!
Hey man I don’t know if you’ll read this but I just want you to know that we do not overlook the amount of effort that you put into these videos. If you ever need to take a break from going so hard on the editing, please do so, we will not mind a bit
Can tell you’re talented just by how you add to the songs creatively and see patterns in music. You pick up shit in your 1st listen I’ve still not noticed having heard the song thousands of times.
Unfortunately it wasn’t ever released on vinyl, but you can get a analogue cassette version if you look hard enough. But agreed, he’s going to loose his mind with all the distortion / noise.
Love em both. Extremely different though, so it’s not like they are comparable. Fantano is a critic, and Mercurial is a viber who captures his raw experiences with the music.
This video made me fully realize the effort he puts into his videos. The synth that he added on top of Runaway made the song even better, there's 4 different cameras in the room all for different angles to show what he's doing, the random instrumental he made using the pops and cracks from the vinyl and the mixing let me hear sounds in some songs that I hadn't heard before. Thank you Mr. Mercurial Number Six
@@phatrick that’s your opinion. I strongly disagree. But regardless, that’s pretty rude considering the unique content that Mr. Mercurial is bringing here that is hard to find anywhere else on RUclips

I’ll never forget the first time I listened to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I was already a massive Kanye West fan before the album dropped and it was my most anticipated album of that year. He also had probably one of the greatest lead ups to an album ever. Every Friday he would drop us a track as part of the G.O.O.D. Friday series as an build up to the album. I come from South Africa so generally we didn’t get everything as soon as it dropped in the states and this was way before the internet was today and instant reactions and reviews weren’t a thing so I visited the CD almost everyday to check whether the guys had the album in stock. And then one Friday, I went into the store and there it was. I was still in high school but I had saved up for this album and I bought it. I remember coming home telling myself that I’ll listen to the first few tracks on our old ass stereo system (it was older than me!) and then go make some food (I had just gotten home from school) and then listen to the rest of the album. 70 minutes later I was still sitting on the floor. I hadn’t moved. The thought of wanting to go made food has gotten consumed when by the time I got to Power. And when I heard people clapping I also started clapping as well because I knew that I had just listened to the greatest album of all time
(GENIUS ANNOTATION) Runaway outro - The outro contains Kanye singing the first four lines of the hook through a vocoder. It begins with West mumbling something that sounds like “I'ma be honest…” before the vocal effects drowns out what is audible in his words, to the point. It could be interpreted that the purpose of the outro as a fantasy of escape through pure catharsis, with the vocoder literalizing Kanye’s ability to transform his personal shortcomings into art. As a result the words take on an emotional, primal, more visceral sound. Another interpretation was proposed by Chicago Sun-Times writer Thomas Conner, who wrote: The last four minutes find him humming and singing, but his voice is Auto-Tuned and distorted beyond perceptibility. What’s he saying or singing? Can’t really make it out, can’t really understand him. Which, no doubt, is how he feels his clumsy public statements are often received.
Or, he just wanted to turn his voice into a guitar tone. I doubt very seriously Kanye West thinks that deeply about any of his creative indulgences, as he indulges in them.

DO NOT let the negative reviews get to you. You’re bringing joy into the viewers lives. Enthusiasm, completely immersed & heart felt. Everything the world needs right now.
I’ve never come across this channel. I’ve never seen any of your videos. But this Dark Twisted Fantasy series caught my attention and made me instantly subscribe. I like reaction videos but yours really put my ear to something I’ve never heard before. I’ve listened to this album plenty of times but after watching your videos, I played the album in my car and heard sounds I had never heard before. That’s something special and remarkable that many can’t do. You’re like “The Giver”... but with sound of course haha. Love the energy, love the enthusiasm, and when you sip your adult beverages just totally jamming out... man I feel like I’m there with you.
Lost In the World is my favorite song of all time. To watch you embrace it (and anything you listen to) for the first time is nearly as moving as the first time I heard it myself. I'm grateful for that.
@abmusic after I posted the comment I thought that. It might be, but sometimes it's not on perfect pitch so maybe it's not. But yeah, it wouldn't make sense for a little controller to have every musical note 😂
I'm sure he just edits the bell sound to the correct pitch, but he does have a very good music ear, playing bass over a song he's listening to for the first time

This mini-series of you reacting to MBDTF is a masterpiece and genuinely some of the best content I’ve seen on RUclips. The energy, passion, wisdom, humour, production, editing, musical talent etc. was immense. Bravo 👏🏼
Man... if not anything else, watching this man’s passion is incredible. There are few better feelings in life than seeing someone deep into their passion and watching them enjoy the things you’re passionate about as well. Cheers mate.
These 4 reactions to MBDTF have meant a lot to me. Kanye is my favorite ever, and the fact you already listened to Late Registration and MBDTF is amazing. It’d be a dream come true if you listened to Yeezus. It’s my favorite Kanye album. It’s revolutionary. I think you’d love it.
the tempo is slightly sped up and the pitch is slightly higher than usual as well (probably just the vinyl being played slightly too fast) which might contribute to it sounding better (which it definitely does imo)
Bruh Jon goated, I literally rewatch his reactions all the time, check out TCtheTopCat if you haven’t, he’s great too, has a really unique personality so it really adds to the reactions
jon and tc are the best 100%. i like this guy but i feel like he does a little too much in his videos. other two really take in the music and you can tell they’re passionate about hip hop.
@@bigdog6927 he doesn’t do to much that’s his personality. He’s doesn’t only react to hip hop, he pays attention to the music and adds his own live twists to songs instead of focusing solely on the lyrics like most reactors. This guy is the best out
The biggest compliment I could give this video is that I now can’t wait to get in the car and put this album on during my commute to work this evening. Almost like rediscovering an album that I’ve played hundreds of times. Thank you for that.
Mate I just want to say. This is already one of my favourite albums ever. But after watching you react it it’s further up my list. Please keep supplying the world with your content. It’s golden
It really is crazy how what you did with the song just gave it a whole new element and made it all come together better in my opinion. Runaway is one of if not Kanye’s best song but I’ve always thought the beat was very raw and missing something.
Whenever i hear his songs in such times of him being down i try to see how he is feeling atm really makes me emotional and inspired at the same time kinda uplifting
Your ability to improvise and make something new of the music or add something of your own is incredible. I REALLY enjoyed this reaction series, I was dancing for my life to Lost in The World while listening to it with you. What an incredible experience! I'll be watching many more of your videos. Thank you!!
Been watching your channel since your KSG reaction and gotta say when at first I didn't understand what you were going for, even I could see how much work you've put into crafting a video that does both the artist and listeners justice. Since then I think I must've watched that video 4 times front to back and also every single other video you've made since then which goes to show that your channel is more than just the albums you're listening to, at least to me, and I've been more than happy to follow your musical journey ever since. As a metal head and hip hop head and heck, just a general music lover, it's been so fun going back to albums you've listened to that I love but also finding a lot of new music, and I feel that you enhance that experience even more than just slapping headphones on and hitting the play button on spotify. This Kanye experience was stellar and much as I would like to see you react to his other works, I would also love to see your reactions to The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails which is a fantastic industrial metal record, Sad wings of Destiny by Judas Priest which is early heavy metal, Stankonia by Outkast, Mystic Stylez by Three 6 Mafia, any Run the Jewels album, Flamboyant by Dorian Electra, Sawayama by Rina Sawayama, or Charli by Charli XCX. Anyways I apologise for the long list of recommendations, by all means please listen to whatever comes to you, I'll enjoy it either way😅 I'm happy to see how much your channel has grown since I started watching. Peace from London :)

Yeezus is minimal. Very experimental.
Why does runaway sound better through this video than Spotify god damn
no fr
That's from a vinyl and his mic probably great too.
the tempo is slightly sped up and the pitch is slightly higher than usual as well (probably just the vinyl being played slightly too fast) which might contribute to it sounding better (which it definitely does imo)
Such a great album! You should react to “Malibu” by Anderson. Paak
“This is the best thing I’ve heard in my life”
Me too, Mr. Mercurial, me too...
Me too
Runaway's outro is my favorite moment in music, probably ever. It's perfect.
Better than Blood on the Leaves outro?
@@Pedrooo317 defo for me. i like the botl outro too though
facts. but I’ve found a steezo fan 😳?
@@numbernineinmyjeans just a naruto fan unfortunately haha
I'm on the edge of tears watching this
runaway is the best song of the 2010s and mbdtf the best album
🤔
You forgot sumn. LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem
@@SaVaG3d0ubleCup True!
This is really the best music reaction channel, John Denton is close 2nd
Bruh Jon goated, I literally rewatch his reactions all the time, check out TCtheTopCat if you haven’t, he’s great too, has a really unique personality so it really adds to the reactions
@@namansheth3609 bro ik all of the music reactors but I’m just saying these two are the best
@@namansheth3609 tc is the best in my opinion
jon and tc are the best 100%. i like this guy but i feel like he does a little too much in his videos. other two really take in the music and you can tell they’re passionate about hip hop.
@@bigdog6927 he doesn’t do to much that’s his personality. He’s doesn’t only react to hip hop, he pays attention to the music and adds his own live twists to songs instead of focusing solely on the lyrics like most reactors. This guy is the best out
The biggest compliment I could give this video is that I now can’t wait to get in the car and put this album on during my commute to work this evening. Almost like rediscovering an album that I’ve played hundreds of times. Thank you for that.
Mercurial 1 minute into Runaway: "This is a pop song. This is a pop song!!"
Runaway 4 minutes later: "good one"
Pop is not a dirty word
@@Comrade.Question Pop is a great word!
Is it weird that I salute the screen at the end of every video?
yes
No
No
“That thing that everyone thinks is rubbish you enjoyed it” sounds a lot like my football team 😔😂
:-D
Arsenal fan? :)
@@abhinandukanil3415 if arsenal are 7th in the national league then yeah
Mate I just want to say. This is already one of my favourite albums ever. But after watching you react it it’s further up my list. Please keep supplying the world with your content. It’s golden
I love how the “ding” noise is perfectly on key every time.
It really is crazy how what you did with the song just gave it a whole new element and made it all come together better in my opinion. Runaway is one of if not Kanye’s best song but I’ve always thought the beat was very raw and missing something.
Blame Game is just fucking incredible.
Ehhhh idk man it’s one of the weaker tracks imo, that outro throws me off
@@extraspicy4715 the outros the best part
Bottom 3
@@extraspicy4715 the outro adds to the song.
@@salvulcano6209 it’s like when biggie is getting head on ready to die, it takes me outta the album a lil bit
I nearly spat out my drink at 15:58 LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Lmaooo same
Was looking for this comment 😂😂😂
Everyone talking about the "Iron Man" interpolation but no one's speaking on the Aphex Twin sample in "Blame Game"...
your next listen should be piñata by freddie gibbs and madlib, would be interesting to watch
yeah
the energy of this video is unmatched. i loved watching this so much
so mesmerized at how you never spill your drink
Hearing that reaction to the vocoder told me three things: we need 808s, we need Yeezus and we need The Life of Pablo
Whenever i hear his songs in such times of him being down i try to see how he is feeling atm really makes me emotional and inspired at the same time kinda uplifting
He managed to make one of the greatest songs ever better that was heavenly with the strings he was putting on with the key board
The way he described the setting of Blame Game was incredible. Never thought about the track in that manner.
That tambourine on hell of a life was actually nice
Your ability to improvise and make something new of the music or add something of your own is incredible. I REALLY enjoyed this reaction series, I was dancing for my life to Lost in The World while listening to it with you. What an incredible experience!
I'll be watching many more of your videos. Thank you!!
Thank you. Nicest comment I've read in a long time. :-)
every once in a while i come back to this master piece of a video, just to enjoy this
If I was friends with Kanye right now I’d tell him to put the divorce papers aside for a minute and come watch this.
“Yo Kanye I know you got a lot going on right now but watch this bro, it’s so good you’ll love it I swear.”
@@kingmasss3919 you just know he would instantly feel better about life. And we’d get another classic album
Who’s ready for him to listen to the rest of the Kanye discography?
I’d be so interested to see him react to Yeezus
How did this man make Runaway even more beautiful then it already was?
Been watching your channel since your KSG reaction and gotta say when at first I didn't understand what you were going for, even I could see how much work you've put into crafting a video that does both the artist and listeners justice. Since then I think I must've watched that video 4 times front to back and also every single other video you've made since then which goes to show that your channel is more than just the albums you're listening to, at least to me, and I've been more than happy to follow your musical journey ever since. As a metal head and hip hop head and heck, just a general music lover, it's been so fun going back to albums you've listened to that I love but also finding a lot of new music, and I feel that you enhance that experience even more than just slapping headphones on and hitting the play button on spotify. This Kanye experience was stellar and much as I would like to see you react to his other works, I would also love to see your reactions to The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails which is a fantastic industrial metal record, Sad wings of Destiny by Judas Priest which is early heavy metal, Stankonia by Outkast, Mystic Stylez by Three 6 Mafia, any Run the Jewels album, Flamboyant by Dorian Electra, Sawayama by Rina Sawayama, or Charli by Charli XCX. Anyways I apologise for the long list of recommendations, by all means please listen to whatever comes to you, I'll enjoy it either way😅 I'm happy to see how much your channel has grown since I started watching. Peace from London :)
You need to listen to Pusha Ts DAYTONA!!! It was produced by Kanye West, a short but sweet album!
the way he depicted the greatness of runaway made me scream with happiness, i love you
Man, when you add these little sounds it makes the song even better
These videos somehow renew my appreciation for albums I haven’t listened to in a while
11:54 that was the cleanest shit ever
The bass/squirrel sticking its head out of a tree analogy just makes so much sense for some reason lol. You’re the best, can’t wait for what’s next
You made me enjoy and appreciate music a million times more than I did previously
I think you would greatly enjoy listening to Outkast Speakerboxxx/The Love Below!
...and I would enjoy watching you react to it
