Listen to way, way more Flatbush. These guys are seriously some of my favorite dudes. Genuine. No label. All work! Better off Dead is a phenomenal album, guys.
Strait up flatbush is real as hell, and they have dropped nothing but bangers, check out some of their earlier stuff to reallly get a feel for these dudes.
MORE FLATBUSH RECOMMENDATIONS: - Bounce - Facts (ft. Jadakiss) - Palm trees - MRAZ Another Note: Erick (the guy on the 1st verse) produces 98% of all their beats. Great reaction guys!
smokedoubt it takes some getting used to. I can understand why casual fans would find it difficult to hear and digest some of the more lyrical rappers.
YES YES YES IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS. Much love from australia guys. This is probably my fav track from them but their tracks ‘Bliss’ and ‘Amerikkkan Pie’ are also amazing tracks.
The creativity in the lyrics is crazy you can tell they studied the craft cuz you gotta know the history or rap to even remember some of these titles from legends and OGs of the rap game. Flatbush had a couple hits wayback when they were really out there with ASAP Mob but its refreshing to hear some new joints. Big ups for the dope reaction Lost In Vegas !!
This is probably the only reaction to this song where they catch almost all references and it's probably the only reaction I revisit whenever I remember the song.
Man everybody's gunna have to find something else to request now! Lol. They've got a pretty fire freestyle y'all should check out. My favorite part about them though is they they look like their voices switched bodies.
As an almost 40 white chick from the sticks, NOTHING about this would've made sense to me without your breakdown of the lyrics. This was pretty cool! It also makes me feel SUPER old that the hip hop I listened to when I was younger is now considered CLASSIC. What? Haha! Very cool though! Another great reaction guys!
A Cb105 I don’t think being white has anything to do with it. It’s all about where you’re raised. My wife is 40 (and white), and understands hip hop perfectly. She grew up in the Bronx though.
12:42 I actually disagree with Ryan when he says that they went back and did their research. Flatbush Zombies genuinely grew up listening to all of that great hip-hop so it was mainly their primary influences that they were touching on so getting the names of albums and tracks probably didn't require research but rather from their head due to growing up with them.
It wasn't that literal. He wasn't saying that they didn't experience it and had to basically 'wiki' it to fake it. And if YOU took it that literally, you probably think they remembered every album off the top of their heads or didn't use them to reference when they were writing lol
You entertained me, you captivated me and most of all you educated me. I' have watched this reaction like a checklist for the benefit of my own hip-hop knowlege and its been amazing, sick video well done! subbed.
Clockwork indigo - butterfly effect, it's a collaboration between east coast rappers like Flatbush Zombies, and the Underachievers. The lyricism is amazing. Also listen to Flatbush's projects as a whole, like better off dead and the Odyssey
That was a bunch of fun to listen. And jewice has gotten a lot better since clockwork dropped. Just Issa and AK have a different flow then FBZ so even though I love to listen to them individually. It’s hard when the song transitions from meech, to AK, to Erick, to Issa then jewice. It just doesn’t feel like a FBZ or UA song sounds even though the bars are fucking amazing
I enjoyed this song because I understood most of what they were saying, but it has to be said that my gf actually enjoyed it too, even though she's not into rap and hip-hop, LIKE THAT. They did such a good job at putting this song together, honestly. Amazing work
Fun fact: the Jesus walks "sample" in the background is actually Meechy Darko, the last dude with the raspy voice doing that with his voice. You guys should check out "U&I" for the next Flatbush Zombies song. They snap on that one
Honestly, Don't worry about what Artists you guys are reviewing, I love every video, no matter what you're checking out, you guys always seem to give the most honest, educated view on anything someone is dishing.
What if Headstone has multiple meanings? For example, what if another meaning is actually referring to Capstone, which is what you work on in college to show an example of the culmination of all you've learned since you started school? So this song, exemplifying the history of rap and hip hop shows what they've personally learned from it along with all their hard work and creativity. Cap, another word for hat, which you wear on your head, headstone. Idk, just food for thought. Also, check out Palm Trees by Flatbush Zombies.
Damn you guys are like musical dictionaries for hip hop! Really opened my eyes on this song. I've been listening to it since the album came out and you guys really broke it down for me! I gotta do my research!
Vacation is probably my favorite off that album by them, it’d be funny to see you guys review that video. This song reminds me of Fame by GZA, probably heard it but it’d be cool to see a review of that one. He uses famous names instead of songs/albums. Great review as always. 👍🏻
Album of the year without doubt and i say that as a huge J Cole and Logic fan. Flatbush never fail to disappoint and are so versatile. It helps that they are all lyrically on point.
Some more Flatbush for you guys: Their freestyle on Flex, MRAZ, Palm Trees, Bounce, Lava (this one is a solo song by Juice), Bliss, Thug Waffle, Vacation
Holy shit you guys just killed it with those references, just brought a whole new perspective on the song for me. Cant wait to watch you react to more FBZ
Alright, if you guys reviewed this song then I'm requesting if you guys can please review Flatbush Zombies - U&I. Has a dope singing intro, the beat reminds me of something Kanye would do and the lyrics are hard. Please pretty PLEASE do a review on this some. You guys won't be disappointed!!
whoo, goddamn, this was a super fun video to watch because of you guys. your obvious love of old school hip-hop was infectious. I'd love to see like a top 10 albums by you guys, or like a year-by-year break down (or decade breakdown). Just something where you guys talk about your roots of hip-hop and you playing some of your favorite things.
One of my fave albums this year. I would say check out facts, HELL-O. palm trees is a classic one from one of their mixtapes better off dead. Y’all have a lot of catching up to do 😅 definitely worth the journey.
Check out their song, Glorious Thugs!! Bars for days, literally could pick anything from their discography and it’d still be fire though. Glad you guys loved headstone
Nice! The requests for these guys were piling up. It'd be cool to make a playlist from all the references in this song. Rock on LiV! The Streets - Has it come to this
Thanks so much for the info on the artists and albums in this song. I have a list of classics to start listening to.. I'm a rocker at heart but starting to enjoying rap. Because of your reviews - Rittz, Nas, and few others, I listen to their Albums regularly now... Free Thinking allows you to enjoy more that's out there.. including Music.. Thanks Ryan & George for the 411...
Please react to Bounce by Flatbush. Meechy's personality is so strong in it and you really get to hear the best of each member. Zombie Juice's flow is amazing in it too. Would be a great reaction!
I’m waiting for a bus at the airport to go to boot camp in a couple hours and this is just what I needed. Thanks guys I watch all your vids, hopefully when I get back in 8 weeks you’ll have more Flatbush/ mick Jenkins/ earl type people
I’m hoping you try Death Grips eventually. Might seem a little left field at first but it’s like the most abrasive and chaotic delivery I’ve ever heard in rap. “Takyon” started it all for me
Headstone is off their newest album Vacation In Hell, which is good, but Better Off Dead is the tape where these guys really snapped. I would recommend doing the song AmeriKKKan Pie from it.
More Flatbush Zombies please! For all the reasons you stated and more you are sure to love their entire catalog. I suggest The Glory, Bounce, New Phone Who Dis and This Is It
Yasss you guys finally did my faves. Been a Flatbush Zombies fan for a loong time. Ya'll should check out this whole album. 🖤They're really reppin NY to the fullest🗽
Im 24 light skin grew up on all types of Music. im Juggalo . but yalls reaction to "wish you were here" from Pfloyd and "simple man" deff earned yall another Sub.. Love when people show respect to all genres. FlatBush Nice Af btw!! #TheyGettnBusyDude!!
Listen to way, way more Flatbush. These guys are seriously some of my favorite dudes. Genuine. No label. All work! Better off Dead is a phenomenal album, guys.
Josh Threeton Flatbush zombies n underachievers been killing shit !!!!!!!!! They're legit the best of this generation they're so slept on
YES something off Better Off Dead frfr
Strait up flatbush is real as hell, and they have dropped nothing but bangers, check out some of their earlier stuff to reallly get a feel for these dudes.
Flatbush fam❤️
Fbz UA and PE,best of our generation and most slept on
The best part is they didnt even do research for this song, this the shit they grew up listening to
Fun fact: Erick the architect (second verse) produces every beat for the group. Man is a genius. He’s also an artist
Yes Erick is awesome
Almost, in an interview he said he produced all except 2 songs on ViH. Still incredible
@@nickstaudinger440 He basically produced all their older shit, which in my opinion, is way more fire than their new stuff
Erick is a beat master
CHECK ERICK OUT ON TWITCH
It takes everyone this long to finally recognize flatbush .... smh
Shut up hipster
evan grasseschi agreed! Been on my playlist. This song hit me cause they mentioned literally all my fav tracks, albums groups growing up. So dope
evan grasseschi man it feels good tho. They getting recognized
Just be happy people are discovering the music
Im late but Im a fan for life
MORE FLATBUSH RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Bounce
- Facts (ft. Jadakiss)
- Palm trees
- MRAZ
Another Note: Erick (the guy on the 1st verse) produces 98% of all their beats. Great reaction guys!
X Isaac X agreed !!!
2 verse*.
Zach Hill its intro (juice), then hook (meech), then 1st verse (Erick). Juice takes 2nd verse :)
You recommended the perfect songs man, I like it.
I’ve listened to bounce and regular and complex at least once a day
FINALLY! First Denzel Curry and now Flatbush Zombies ya'll hitting my favs list now. Go ahead and do some music from The Underachievers.
That collab with Portugal the Man would be so dope and stuff.
Definitely do UA!
I can't wait until they do.
Crescendo would be a great track to start with
Yes!!!!! Underachievers 100% !! Lol someone said wtf marry me ahaha
MRAZ by Flatbush it's one of the hardest songs to come out in the last 10 years
Truest comment here
Factssss
facctssss!!!
Or "did u ever think"
Jacob Walls that and bounce
Finally someone who catches all the references! sick reaction guys
I like watching your reactions to Hip Hop songs because without you guys explaining things a lot of stuff would go right over my head.
Tyler Miller just take the time to understand the bars, read them or something
smokedoubt it takes some getting used to. I can understand why casual fans would find it difficult to hear and digest some of the more lyrical rappers.
how did u reply 2 weeks ago >:(
Lol bruh if you didn't know this was about classic music I feel sorry for you
SuperBlueboy2010 patrons prob
YES YES YES IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS. Much love from australia guys. This is probably my fav track from them but their tracks ‘Bliss’ and ‘Amerikkkan Pie’ are also amazing tracks.
generic soundcloud rapper agreed !
Doogerio Houser agreed !
you gotta go back to their better off dead tape and listen to palm trees itll definitely change your mind
Bliss go hardd
R.I.P.C.D is a great song by them, the 3 are rapping like crazy here with a lot of slick lines
Junior Brollo there is definitely a lot of other songs way better than that
Nuclears TM lmao deadass
Name them I want to see what you think is better because the case of a song being better is purely subjective. I wanna get an idea what you prefer.
Love that song
bro i swear meech doesn't even take a breath in that r.i.p.c.d verse
Flatbush Zombies- "Bounce" im sure u guys would like that song
Astris Achieveee faxxxxx
I have that shit on repeat till this year
@@emilioginobili3851 We still bouncing out here!
Ysl pants with the zippers, yikes
@@jeepersmcgee3466 met her this evening, already hit it, twice!
The creativity in the lyrics is crazy you can tell they studied the craft cuz you gotta know the history or rap to even remember some of these titles from legends and OGs of the rap game. Flatbush had a couple hits wayback when they were really out there with ASAP Mob but its refreshing to hear some new joints. Big ups for the dope reaction Lost In Vegas !!
Nate Baker yeee
Palm Trees - Flatbush Zombies
Your Favorite Rap Song- Flatbush Zombies
Bounce - Flatbush Zombies
Cole Nordan this is it. Also
This is probably the only reaction to this song where they catch almost all references and it's probably the only reaction I revisit whenever I remember the song.
Try Underachievers, they're friends with Flatbush zombies and are really unique as well
The Underachievers - Herb Shuttles
Indigoism is sick
gold soul theory is also a good one
The mahdi would be dope too
Generation Z is the shit
Idigoism is hella tight, hope they're ready!
Man everybody's gunna have to find something else to request now! Lol. They've got a pretty fire freestyle y'all should check out. My favorite part about them though is they they look like their voices switched bodies.
Philly B agreed! Zombies been killing shit !!
Philly B They really need to do MF Doom or Madvillian (Doom+madlib)
soloist One Love SEND THEM MY BEST REGARDS
Philly B
As an almost 40 white chick from the sticks, NOTHING about this would've made sense to me without your breakdown of the lyrics. This was pretty cool! It also makes me feel SUPER old that the hip hop I listened to when I was younger is now considered CLASSIC. What? Haha! Very cool though! Another great reaction guys!
A Cb105 how is this comment 2 weeks old when this is a new video?
Darrick Franklin the video was released early for patreon supporters
generic soundcloud rapper oh okay cool
A Cb105 I don’t think being white has anything to do with it. It’s all about where you’re raised. My wife is 40 (and white), and understands hip hop perfectly. She grew up in the Bronx though.

Clockwork indigo - butterfly effect, it's a collaboration between east coast rappers like Flatbush Zombies, and the Underachievers. The lyricism is amazing. Also listen to Flatbush's projects as a whole, like better off dead and the Odyssey
Chris Kontoulis it's my least favorite project by them
Which project?
Chris Kontoulis clockwork indigo
its definitely not their best overall project but there's definitely some gems in there like butterfly effect.
That was a bunch of fun to listen. And jewice has gotten a lot better since clockwork dropped. Just Issa and AK have a different flow then FBZ so even though I love to listen to them individually. It’s hard when the song transitions from meech, to AK, to Erick, to Issa then jewice. It just doesn’t feel like a FBZ or UA song sounds even though the bars are fucking amazing
Ive never seen George this amped for a song, check out more flatbush!
I think the “devil wears Prada” line is a reference to when ye said it on can’t tell me nothin.. “so if the devil wear Prada, Adam eve wear nada”
I enjoyed this song because I understood most of what they were saying, but it has to be said that my gf actually enjoyed it too, even though she's not into rap and hip-hop, LIKE THAT. They did such a good job at putting this song together, honestly. Amazing work
Y’all should react to the album. These dudes are fr
MeloMash absolutely the whole album is great.
Do U&I by Flatbush zombies. They went hard on that
Almighty Phantom man I wish more people would request this one. Meechy spits straight fire on that one
THIS ONE!! 🔥🔥🔥
Meech goes hard on that
Meech spit his best verse ever on that song
Flatbush Zombies got a playlist on spotify called Headstone with all the mentioned tracks ;)
Is it public?
This is the best reaction video, not even a reaction more like a full breakdown video. Very good content.
Earl Sweatshirt-
Wool
Whoa
Bill
DNA
Hive
Grief
Off Top
AM // Radio
Anything at allllll
Its Blezzii def Hive
Fun fact: the Jesus walks "sample" in the background is actually Meechy Darko, the last dude with the raspy voice doing that with his voice. You guys should check out "U&I" for the next Flatbush Zombies song. They snap on that one
Evan West c0 et eee

This song is just *chefs kiss* with the callbacks to rappers before them who inspired them *chefs kiss*
Palm Trees - Flatbush zombies
Ripcd is the track that had me hooked by Flatbush. Thank you once again for the awesome breakdown on the lyrics!!!!
What if Headstone has multiple meanings? For example, what if another meaning is actually referring to Capstone, which is what you work on in college to show an example of the culmination of all you've learned since you started school?

"MRAZ" needs to be the next song you guys should check out by Flatbush
ReZik Sieve one of my fav
Faaacts
All their shit is good. Its just whatever song you have a taste for. They have good features and collabrative stuff also
I guess im just saying their good.
everyone make sure flatbush zombies see this
Vacation is probably my favorite off that album by them, it’d be funny to see you guys review that video.
This song reminds me of Fame by GZA, probably heard it but it’d be cool to see a review of that one. He uses famous names instead of songs/albums. Great review as always. 👍🏻
Do more Flatbush please. I’m telling you guys, you will appreciate these guys
Try New Phone, Who Dis? It's also by Flatbush Zombies
BRO! FINALLY! This was on my list of requests but the people was with me!
Kidaf - Never Ending (ft. Shadow the Great)
TheAdamSmasher Multiverse I think Oswin Benjamin and Don Mykel are better than Kidaf
I ain't mad at that. I disagree but I got those guys up high on my list too
TheAdamSmasher Multiverse who do you think is better KAAN or Kidaf?
Daf. KAAN is dope too. There is a lot out here #TBP
They should react to loaf muzik in general. All of the extremly underaited NY rappers.
Album of the year without doubt and i say that as a huge J Cole and Logic fan.
Flatbush never fail to disappoint and are so versatile. It helps that they are all lyrically on point.
I have so much respect for you guys. You really know your stuff regarding hiphop. Holy crap! Good job!
Palm Trees - FLATBUSH
Out of every flatbush song, that wouldnt be the best to reccomend imo
React to Flatbush Zombies - Palm Trees
Flatbush zombies- factz better yet just do the whole album
I also love that they coupled that "Who shot ya, I shot ya." Right after mentioning 50. So not only referencing the tracks but shading 50.
The Underachievers - Unconscious Monsters
abisd agreed every thing but underachievers !
Illusions is good too
Oh lawd they gonna be on the whole beast coast in no time
Anything from The Underachievers will be great
They need to hear the whole indigoism tape
Some more Flatbush for you guys: Their freestyle on Flex, MRAZ, Palm Trees, Bounce, Lava (this one is a solo song by Juice), Bliss, Thug Waffle, Vacation
Holy shit you guys just killed it with those references, just brought a whole new perspective on the song for me. Cant wait to watch you react to more FBZ
So glad y’all did this! I was waiting for y’all to do it & I’m glad you finally got to it! So many throwbacks in it 👌🏽
Flatbush - This is it

They are a breath of fresh air because they got their own style
Nice! The requests for these guys were piling up. It'd be cool to make a playlist from all the references in this song.

this is their best reaction and its not close
The “Don’t push me” part was in reference to the chorus of 50 Cent ft Lloyd Banks, Eminem- Don’t push me. It was on Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
Please react to Bounce by Flatbush. Meechy's personality is so strong in it and you really get to hear the best of each member. Zombie Juice's flow is amazing in it too. Would be a great reaction!
Please listen to Flatbush Zombies -The Glory (ft.Denzel Curry)
best song on the album

Cowboys from Hell - Pantera
Orion - Metallica
Slum Village - Reunion

React to Barbie Dreams Nicki Minaj
Why I love you guys? I've never heard of Flatbush Zombies. This is my new fave song.
I honestly had no clue that almost every line was a shout out to previous shit man. God damn. Thanks for the breakdown my dudes
I’m hoping you try Death Grips eventually. Might seem a little left field at first but it’s like the most abrasive and chaotic delivery I’ve ever heard in rap. “Takyon” started it all for me
React to UnderAchievers they are also from Flatbush. They are slept on. Maybe Chrysalis, leopard shepherd, or Crescendo!
Finnally!!! I stop requested this thinking you guys wouldn't get to it so happy you did
Wow this song went further than i thought. And i can thank you guys for that. Thanks again
Headstone is off their newest album Vacation In Hell, which is good, but Better Off Dead is the tape where these guys really snapped.
I would recommend doing the song AmeriKKKan Pie from it.
Y’all should react to Vince Staples.
Black Jesus Christ like if they should do Rigamortis by K.Dot
KingShai nah they probably already heard it
R.I.P.C.D by Flatbush. You got to
Your knowledge of hip hop history is so great. I'd love an original video of your opinion and knowledge of hip hop history
YESSS MORE FLATBUSH ZOMBIES
Flatbush Zombies - Bounce
Headstone was the first Flatbush zombies song I heard too! Cute haha
The “devil wears Prada” line is a reference to Kanye’s lyrics “So is the devil wear prada, Adam Eve wear nada” from Can’t Tell Me Nothing
More Flatbush guys. Please!!!
So happy they finally did my fav. Group. Fire . Zombiengang
More Flatbush Zombies please! For all the reasons you stated and more you are sure to love their entire catalog. I suggest The Glory, Bounce, New Phone Who Dis and This Is It
