That's all of us mate - after the third video of theirs I watched my jaw was on the floor & I was sure they were writing their own bars because of all the old school cockney slang and references they were effortlessly weaving in no millennial ghostwriter would think of.
drill always has been tho Idk I honestly think they can live under the same roof. Contrary to popular belief not all Mumble Rap is bad and theres many ways to incorporate it in other genres so it’s not like we can’t have the best of both worlds.
@@ELISHACAEZ Aside from Little Pimp (FKA Lil Pump) and his clones, most rappers who are deemed mumble rappers are done so unfairly just because older people/people with an "older" taste don't like them. Like not everyone has to like Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, and Kodak Black (I certainly don't like all of them), but besides a few songs here and there, they are certainly not mumbling throughout every track... especially not like a Lil Pump or Smokepurpp would. Despite this, they are all still dismissed as mumble rappers.
The pig farm line is a reference to the UK Gangster film Snatch, one of the characters disposes bodies by feeding them to his pigs. "You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm.”

@@tashi321 all rappers, nay all musicians lip sync the music videos lol. yeah they might occasionally sing it but they dont need to because its for the music video in the first place.
In the 70s and 80s, when the Carribbean community started to become fully integrated in the UK, there was quite a lot of cultural crossover between them and the white working class here.

@@tashi321 when you say they aren't actually rapping what exactly do you mean? Are they literally pretending to be the rappers when in truth its someone else performing the vocals?
idk what their background is, I don't want to generalize "hey these old folks are so quirky and make hip hop music," but goddamn I hope I take youth culture at least half as seriously as they do when I'm their age.
I mean, idk how old you are, but hiphop was exclusively youth culture back in the what, the 80s? (which is now -sigh- 50 years ago) I get what you're saying and I fundamentally agree, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had somewhat been in the game ever since it started.
After hearing him say he's not blown away by any of the bars I need Anthony's response to the line " Got the thingamajiggy, I'm rejigging it quickly and I'm running all sorts of attachments. Scope with a thermal site and up on the rooftop, prone on a mattress"
My favourite bar from them is: "I'm the governor, I'm the quiche Lorraine Chuck a oner at the bookies, you can keep the change We don't speak the same Your mum's on the packet, and it's me to blame" Cracks me up everytime
Re: the whole drill scene thing. In Britain it seems like everyone realised there are only 2 possibilities. Either they are real and they've been Gs for several decades but never get caught in which case some group of kids starting something would probably be a dumb idea, OR they're not legit and starting something would just involve beating up 2 old guys and that proves nothing and is just generally a pretty bad look
"are they about what they rap about" Pete and Bas both lived through the grime wars and you can even see old gang tattoos one of their shoulder, they definetly are.

This is the best thing I've come across all week, makes me feel fine about getting old.
much swag thank u anthony!
I don't know much about UK hip hop beyond older stuff like The Streets, but Pete and Bas, especially with their accents remind me a lot of The Hitcher from The Mighty Boosh.
i know Stella has a different place in the UK beverage ecosystem than in the US but it is still funny to see them holding it in the studio
How is it seen in the us??
@@jonahauker Maybe it is different in other places but in my Midwestern City, Stella is on tap at craft and imported beer joints, albeit it's like the cheaper "standard" beer that doesn't get switched out. I mean it is by no means fancy, I just don't necessarily associate it with street or working class culture, unlike malt liquor or some domestic beer you can get a lot of for cheap, even if it takes cans upon cans to start getting buzzed (I guess we just like consuming)
@@jabscha7051 yeah it’s for sure working class culture, people call it wifebeater here in the uk because people would go out get shit faced on it and you know...
@@jabscha7051 you can google wifebeater and Stella cans come up 😂
@@jonahauker damn! that's crazy. I will say though that Stella is a more quality drink than our notoriously "trashy" beer
They've got a really good dynamic going on, that's for sure. 'Quick little freestyle' and 'Golf' are great.
