ROYGBIV is also the order of the colors he talks about in the first few bars. Each color he mentions is just a little further down the color spectrum. Dude is one like 9 levels at all times. He literally moves from the longest wavelengths to the shortest wavelengths of light on the song.
Another note! ROY G BIV is an acronym for the colors of the rainbow, Red.Orange.Yellow. Green. Blue.Indigo.Violet. Also, Black Lights are used in criminal investigations to reveal clues (typically blood or bodily fluids) or things that arent available to the naked eye. So that also plays into the black lights bar because when the black lights come out we all have flaws that we dont show people and that we keep hidden. Amazing video and analysis!
This might be a stretch. But they used to use black lights in hotels that had White bed sheets and pillow cases to show how dirty the were even though they appeared to be white and clean. Potentially a comment on white people saying there not perfect and innocent.
Roygbiv was coined after a science experiment to show the behaviour white light when it passes through a glass prism. White light split into Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet, hence ROYGBIV. Jenkins plays on this for the title of the song
I've listened to this album at least once a day since it came out. I'm still not tired of it. There's so much content packed into the lyrics and the instrumentals are so interesting that I'm getting extra bits each time i listen. Really hope this album gains Mick some higher accolades because he really deserves some recognition.
This song is incredible. My favorite on the album for sure. You guys should check out Pasta from the album as well, its more aggressive and the bars are on 100 as you'd expect from Mick
ROYGBIV can also be viewed as an acronym for the sequence of hues commonly described as making up a rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Brilliant views once again from you guys
Great video gentlemen, been loving Mick's music and there's so much depth to it. Always appreciate the insight from George and Ryan as to life implications from lyrics, quality breakdowns bring me back to this channel when I see music I've been listening to in the title
I laughed after that incredible breakdown of the last verse and then George doesn’t know Roy G Biv 🤣 but seriously everytime I see how these guys are able to break down lyrics i’m amazed, been watching for what feels like 8 years and very thankful for these guys
tons of bangers on this album. pasta, mop, sitting ducks, farm to table, damn near the whole album p much lol edit: roy g biv is actually an acronym used to remember colors of the rainbow. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
A great album released in an absolute drought of a year. Also think he can pull off concept songs like this in a way that isn’t corny. Some “more popular” artists attempt to do it and fail.
The initials of the title being RGB is also a play on colours... all colours that visible to the human eye are derived from RED, GREEN & BLUE (especially when it comes to digital screens). Painter derive from RED, BLUE & YELLOW when painting though.
My only issue with this album is I wish it was longer. 28 mins is an EP to me, but still very creative and cool. Just heard it today actually, love your breakdown. Also realize that I don't comment on the channel enough and share enough with people so I'll definitely do both more often moving forward. It was great finding two men who look like me and are more experienced than I am five years ago when I first found this channel
One thing y'all missed is the fact that Mick was born in Huntsville Alabama and went back there briefly when he attended Alabama A&M. Great breakdown though as usual.
Please please please do more Mick Jenkins. Not enough REAL hip hop heads break down Mick on RUclips. Yall one of the best to do it and it's how I found yall tbh. I love y'all channel 💪❤️
YESS dope choice you two! I hope you look into pasta i think its the best track on the project! Man this project in general is maybe my favorite of micks. Really came through
Everything Mick does is so far ahead of his peers. It's pretty crazy to think he is this good and this unknown. Greatness doesn't always get noticed. Take that into mind when you are pursuing you rown passions.
Love the insight on this song, yall elaborated vividly and quite clearly. At first I was wishing that there was a reaction to Michelin Star,Smoke Break (Dance) and/or Sitting Ducks instead of this track but I was impressed by the dissection, and hadn't listened closely enough to peep what was mentioned. Now I we have to see a noname reaction THE J.COLE KILLER!!!🕺🏿
@jordanlee5594 noname and j.cole had a misunderstanding,therefore prompting them to make songs that can be seen as "diss tracks." Allas both fight for the greater good, just with different approaches and perceptions (similar to debates or disagreements between W.E.B Dubois & Booker T. Washington or Malcolm X & Dr. King, ).
I highly recommend yall to peep K-Rino only reason he hasnt blown up is because he didnt want to sign a record deal but hes a tripple OG in the underground.
What he meant btw by the black lights come out and see that we all stained is a double or triple entendre, When you shine a black light on white peoples skin, we're covered in so many freckles that we look black, literally. But to the naked eye you don't see the freckles, that also plays into your character, everyone has fault, you also need blacklight to see blood on peoples hands no?
This whole albums is fire. Definitely one of the better ones this year for hip hop
Pasta is my favorite track.
@@K1NG931fire mines either that one or Michelin star or farm to table 🔥🔥 too many lit tracks
Holy shit I’m late af but I 1000% agree this shit is crazy
@@K1NG931mop is mine

Y’all would love Mick’s song “Smoke Break-Dance” featuring JID off his new album. They both killed it on there.
I listen to that song at least 3-5 times whenever it pops up in the rotation lol

They should do roygbiv by boards of canada
Also RGB as in Red Green Blue which are the basic colors on our screens. Everything we see is a mixture of these 3 colors
🔥🔥🤯 holy shiiiiit

ROYGBIV is called the color wheel. :) Not necessarily the rainbow as the rainbow could be a lot of different combos.
This album deserves a grammy. We definitely need more reactions videos from this album. Its crazy!
I see Mick Jenkins in the title and its an automatic like !!! Keep it coming with the Mick reactions!
Genius level writing and concepts from mick like usual
This is so good. Greatness indeed.
Your channel is fantastic! I love what you do!
Roygbiv was coined after a science experiment to show the behaviour white light when it passes through a glass prism. White light split into Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet, hence ROYGBIV. Jenkins plays on this for the title of the song
Yessss been waiting for you guys !! Long live mick . 😎
Brilliant analysis!

Been waiting on this! Found Mick Jenkins from this channel years ago and been a massive fan since!
This song is incredible. My favorite on the album for sure. You guys should check out Pasta from the album as well, its more aggressive and the bars are on 100 as you'd expect from Mick
So glad yall got to this! The minute I heard it, I knew you guys would enjoy it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Roy G Biv stands for the rainbow
Red orange yellow green blue indigo violet
Been waiting on this! Whole album is fire, Mick is making a case for best rapper out today IMO

The Auburn/"Roll Tide" line is actually 2 college football rivals: AUBURN University and the U of Alabama CRIMSON Tide. Bonus colors.
Great video guys you outdid yourselves with this one. Great breakdown.
Been looking forward to a Mick Jenkins reaction! TY
Mick is brilliant. Great reaction as usual!
WOW! This dude is different. Definitely checking out his catalog. His pen is HEAVY!
This album up there for album of the year. Amazing to see where Mick has gone with his art over the years. True artist
Been looking forward to your take on this project King. Love it🙏🙏
Mick is brilliant, y'all did a great job in vid this guy's 🔥🔥
This track is the vibe that I Iike the most, it takes me back to the *WATERS* album 🔥🔥🔥
We need all the Mick Jenkins!
Probably Micks best work. Elite lyricism as always but with a new hunger that idk if I’ve heard from him.
He sounds mad as hell in this album😂
@@the21611 real shit bro, every time I listen to Pasta he got me ready to run thru a wall 😂
Thank you guys finally this album is crazy
I feel like Mick's writing style feels more close to rock than rap with continuous thought throughout the track. His style always feels refreshing
I laughed after that incredible breakdown of the last verse and then George doesn’t know Roy G Biv 🤣 but seriously everytime I see how these guys are able to break down lyrics i’m amazed, been watching for what feels like 8 years and very thankful for these guys
This is what I wanted to see y'all react to please more from the album 🔥🔥🔥
tons of bangers on this album. pasta, mop, sitting ducks, farm to table, damn near the whole album p much lol
edit: roy g biv is actually an acronym used to remember colors of the rainbow. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
Roy G. Biv stands for Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet, its the colors of the rainbow
I think they know that
@@NaawG bro didnt watch the video lol
This guy is dope I have to check out his album quick fast!!!
this was dope man. you guys are amazing, please do Michelin Star, Mop or Smoke Break next if possible.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 I’m here for anything mick Jenkins
one of my albums of the year, great review
A great album released in an absolute drought of a year.
Also think he can pull off concept songs like this in a way that isn’t corny. Some “more popular” artists attempt to do it and fail.
Please do "show and tell" off the album! Grimy beat and fire lyrics. One of my favorites for sure.
The initials of the title being RGB is also a play on colours... all colours that visible to the human eye are derived from RED, GREEN & BLUE (especially when it comes to digital screens). Painter derive from RED, BLUE & YELLOW when painting though.
Waiting on the Mick Jenkins reaction 🔥 love the album
Mick is needed in the game for real
Plz do more of this album the production is on point and Michelin star is my personal fav
Its been a great year for hip hop
This album is on POINT!!! Mick so slept on 😞
What's incredible to me.....is the commitment FOR YEARS to the exact same intro. That's not a dig, it's actually incredible. 😂😂
My only issue with this album is I wish it was longer. 28 mins is an EP to me, but still very creative and cool. Just heard it today actually, love your breakdown. Also realize that I don't comment on the channel enough and share enough with people so I'll definitely do both more often moving forward. It was great finding two men who look like me and are more experienced than I am five years ago when I first found this channel
that’s funny bc that’s exactly what i said. great album but some of the songs would be way better if they were longer.
@@connor_weggy I was heated when some of them ended hahaha. I was like ah come on that's it? Lol
THANK YOU
ROY G BIV is an acronym for the colors of the rainbow 🌈
Missed that Yellowcard reference 😉 great song, reaction and breakdown
Easy aoty contender from Mick!
We need more Mick on this Channel 🙏🏿
Give my man his flowers woooh💥💥
Yezzir! Mick! 🔥🔥🔥👌🏾
One thing y'all missed is the fact that Mick was born in Huntsville Alabama and went back there briefly when he attended Alabama A&M. Great breakdown though as usual.
You guys make me listen to music different 😂😂
Please please please do more Mick Jenkins. Not enough REAL hip hop heads break down Mick on RUclips. Yall one of the best to do it and it's how I found yall tbh. I love y'all channel 💪❤️
Love mick!!
Please do the whole album 🔥🔥🔥 pasta is so fire as well
First verse is referring to Malcolm X, who used to be known as Red prior to becoming a public figure.
I know this video ain’t getting the views but seeing you guys react to pasta or literally anything on the album would be fiiiiiire
also think the oversaturate -> blue faces line might be a reference to brockhampton saturation albums with the blue faces on the covers
Roy G. Biv is also an acronym for the colors of the rainbow.
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet
YESS dope choice you two! I hope you look into pasta i think its the best track on the project! Man this project in general is maybe my favorite of micks. Really came through
Have yall reviewed any of The Mickstape? You wont be disappointed
The grey area bar is also a reference to his track with Kaytranada. Crazy tune.
Roy G. Biv also stands for the rainbow. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
Amazing breakdown to help us gain more understanding , please do Pasta or the Freddie Gibbs one
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Album is 🔥🔥. Definitely recommend Show & Tell or Pasta
Everything Mick does is so far ahead of his peers.
It's pretty crazy to think he is this good and this unknown. Greatness doesn't always get noticed. Take that into mind when you are pursuing you rown passions.

Gotta do “sitting ducks” next!!!
The blueface/jaded in reference to blueface and his bm jade was slick
I just had to tune in to see if this was going to be some weird cover of the They Might Be Giants song. haha.
Alabama called the CRIMSON tide another shade of red
Keep reacting to him

Roy G Biv
RGB
Red Green Blue
Damn I saw mick and thought this was the new Nick grant freestyle
Been checking constantly for that one!!
What he meant btw by the black lights come out and see that we all stained is a double or triple entendre, When you shine a black light on white peoples skin, we're covered in so many freckles that we look black, literally. But to the naked eye you don't see the freckles, that also plays into your character, everyone has fault, you also need blacklight to see blood on peoples hands no?
Please react to more songs from this album.
