myth has it pete and bas ( not real names obviously ) were portrayed as covert underdogs for a big time gang in the 70s, didnt act stupid or show off so never got caught while they shut down the rivals
Pete and Bas are the classic London 'geezr' at az certain age, they are all ex gangsters.. The myth in their lyrics is also a parody of plastic gangster grime boys. Thing is, when a yoot brags, sounds fake, when a 65 year old cockney geezer says it, could be real
ruclips.net/video/TvCs2r7p4y0/видео.html they are not gangsters, they admit themselves the reason they got into drill cause there grandchildren playing it on the way home lol
They're legit legends. They get respect from people in the industry, doing features like this one, doing a Plugged In with Fumez and being on the Season 3 finale with a lot of skilled youngins. They tour live. And even still some people say they have "ghostwriters". In order to spit it with this much skill and conviction and for their references and word play to span across decades of history makes me think that's legit.
From what I’ve been told they are south London OGs if you’ve heard of Zone 2 they are from the same area. These guys are no joke you, you should check out more of their tracks
@@danielangiolini8057 Ok didn't know about that . they're definitely from Peckham though , one of them might be from just into Camberwell . Used to see them about that manor years ago . on Rye lane . I think the Monty might have been one of their locals . I remember seeing them in a boozer called the artichoke to . They're certainly not the gangsters some people are going on about . more than likely in to a bit of this and a bit of that and knew a few faces but they were just normal south London geezers . It's very very unlikely they knew the twins , opposite end of London and firms tended to stick to their own manors back in those times . anyways . amazing the random scraps of useless information your brain hangs onto hu.
They're from Peckham, like most old school Peckham boys, their haunting ground is Bermondsey as they support Millwall, which is where most of their videos are shot. This one for instance is shot on the Silwood estate in South Bermondsey right next to Millwall fc ground. Its so close you can hear everything from the stadium on match days.
It's actually super exciting to see someone to discover pete and bas as I get to relive the excitement I had when I found out these mans was official. It's no joke. They one of the hardest in the game right now.
They started as a novelty here in the UK but they're carrying the UK drill and grime scene atm. They're no longer a joke. The US has two old rappers too, but they're not on par with Pete and Bas.
Yeah, Pete & Bas are the absolute real deal. UK mob ties back in the day. Every single lyric they have is an absolute bar. Definitely have to listen a few times to catch everything they say, especially since I’m not as “in the know” with a lot of UK slang. New album drops next month.
@@chriswashingtonbeats whenever i meet an old cockney geezer like these two I wonder if they were involved in gangs or had gang connections back in the day, as gangs were huge and basically ruled whole parts of london. I'm not sure about Pete, but Bas' dad owned a bare knuckle boxing ring he used to fight in and Bas worked as a bouncer back in the 70s, thats what we have confirmed, and theres a lot of other rumours so basically he was definitely involved in some dodgy shit back then there's no way he wasn't somehow connected to the mob
Tbh I feel like the fact they are as cold as they are, and not only that but the scene has embraced them, not just ironically as a bit of a joke, but as proper GOATs in the scene... The fact that they're as successful as they are in a scene that revolves around artists living that life, I feel like they must have done a little bit of naughty stuff back in the day and know how to talk the talk, walk the walk etc. If they weren't legit they'd have been laughed off the scene once the novelty wore off. I mean it could be just masterful trolling and the rest of the drill scene is either clueless or in on the joke, but I dunno, these two are the real deal. I have no problem believing these two have dabbled in some shit in their younger years and are now just playing it up for the image. But if it was total bullshit then these yutes wouldn't be having it. But also, who even cares? The image and the bars is good enough for me, they're sick af and that's all that matters. Look at someone like CASISDEAD (sorry but I call bs on the whole him being their ghost writer theory), Cas could be completely full of shit about living that life and just talking about trappin for clout... I don't think he is, he's way too consistent and goes into so much detail at times, I reckon he's a low key dealer which funds his musical projects, he ain't fucking Pablo Escobar but I reckon he does his share of dirt... but even if he is total bullshit, who cares? I love his style, his flow, his bars, the imagery, the mask, the mystery, all of it. And the scene knows who he is, and nobody has ever called him out for talking bollocks, so I reckon he's legit. And that's kind of how I see P&B 🔥 (Sorry for bumping a year old comment 😂)

These guys have about 10 tracks on RUclips with proper video. Personally, I’m waiting for the Album. They already have an Album worth of quality tracks. I will buy on sight. Pete and Bas are better then most proper rappers.
They hard man yea back in the day they was OGs nah they only blown up 2 years ago in music they better than 99% of our drill rappers facts and real bars
Check out the interviews also other tracks they done i an from the UK an absolutely love these 2 an the rest of them to lol THEY MIXED THE OLD SLANG TO THE NEW WAYS maybe they playing just a part in it but still there flow the way they spit them Barrs is absolute fire they r that good an should be up there with the best n who ever is behind the lyrics an tunes have absolutely smashed it these oap s hav given it all a bit of fun to start with but now it more than just a joke its fab 😍🤩😂
I’ve heard more bars and better flows from just 2 of these old guys music than any of young thugs. That says something. Bruh they play games with drill beats it’s like whenever they come on it’s the perfect timing
Yo dude, I seen a bunch of people in comments mention the boys did work in the 70s and got ties from before that, but seen nobody in top comments dropping actual names of who they had ties to. Legend (and some of their official bios) has it that they related/tied somehow to the Krays and the Richardsons gangs. Those gangs ran London in the 50s-60s with iron fist and cops on payroll. Both were fatal, but the Richardsons were especially brutal, earned themselves the nickname the Torture Gang because dudes who crossed them were treated to the Richardsons favorite punishments: pulling teeth with pliers, electrocution in a bathtub til passing out, and literally being nailed to wood floors with nails half a foot long.
Late here but a bit of background, Bas -the tall one, His father ran an illegal bear knuckle syndicate in London and Bas helped out and had boxing lessons before joining the army. Pete - Short guy, He was an enforcer for the Richardson family in London (London was split between the Krays (films out about those) and the Richardsons). He did that till the late 80's - 90's
@@bradders9743 the boxing stuff is pretty well established. Pete's history is a bit rocky but both the Krays and Richardson's are alive and well...those aren't people who like having their names misused. So while I'd guess it's mostly exaggerated (especially the enforcer part)...one would have to assume some level of connection if they haven't called him out.

Of all the UK rap artists I listen to Pete and bas the most. Almost daily I listen to them .
bas's verse on Golf is next level for any mc
Norman Pain knows how to throw down as well.
Do more pete and bas mate
Pete and Bas are studs, better than 99% of young heads out there.
Closed Cases from 1965 of course they can mention in their lyrics. In reality if I see these guys in the street I’m taking U turn
Pete and Bas are the shit. Bas raps faster than a lot of the big, young artists today.
Big Pete coming in with a couple of comedy bars then gets serious. Man's like "Oh" wasn't expecting that
