I mean when you combine the best sample of all time with the best sample-using producer of all time, and then slap a rapper like Freddie on top of all that the result is unavoidable
I'm a big fan of Danny Brown now, but honestly it took me so long to get into him (I'm sure I'm not the only one), and his verse on High was the first time I was like wait this guy is great.
@@andrejristic4956 Oh yeah, I'm definitely a fan now (althought tbh I do struggle with Atrocity Exhibition still, great as it clearly is). And I definitely agree about uknowhatimsayin, much more accessible than his other work, especially AE.
Im literally sitting here smiling like a kid seeing someone appreciate this amazing music for what it is. It brings me back to when I first heard the record I was still in college at the time. Pre game sessions before hitting the club, or just chilling on the weekend with friends during the day. Man those were the days. Sorry for getting nostalgic on yall lol. Much love. Cheers
every time Jon reviews an old projects of an artist they drop another one straight after it.. Freddie Gibbs just dropped a tape with Alchemist wtf.. this man is blessed, protect him
@@fuegobeats3383 in the cases when he has, the release is usually a surprise drop and isb't announced before the video so idk, but in some cases that may be true as it is better for getting views.
“Watts” is a voice mail left by his uncle (the one he raps about: alcoholic, crack smoking, etc) & his nickname is ‘Big Time Watts’. One insane yet kinda hilarious voice mail... Essentially an interlude, He passed away a few years ago RIP Big Time
one of the best hip hop albums of all time imo, could listen to it all the way through endlessly. both freddie and madlib went crazy, and the mixture of beautiful, soulful ,unorthodox hip hop beats with raw gangster rap is a match made in heaven. also your reactions are best you actually catch the bars and appreciate the music i love it
Piñata was an instant classic I said it back when it first came out and its still something I dont get tired of listening to today (the definition of a classic). One of the best records to come out in the last 2 decades. Madlib is a fucking genius. Respect.
I'm so glad you said theres an argument for earl being the best current rapper. A lot of people tend to right that off because his discography might not be as legendary but he's up there
@@SomethingSeemsOff he commented on another video responding to someone asking for a reaction. I don't remember which video. He said it he thought it was fantastic though
When you started quoting bars I was like "there's no way he doesn't pause on that 'euthanasia' bar in Shitsville" because that's one of the slickest lines I've ever heard.
This notification honestly made my day man. And loved the rant aswell. Amazing to see how much you've grown into hiphop over the years. Have a great day Jon!
Bro I've been watching since Rock React, I love the way John's has navigated this hip hop thing and matured his taste. For some reason it's so comforting seeing some one like him from a completely different walk of life appreciate Black art, and really understand/appreciating it on a deeper level
Yo man you giving love n respect to Earl right here around 20:34 has made me a fan. Ur point about how he shrouds his bars with bits of reality to keep people locked in is great. He’s brilliant man
I found this channel when you were reviewing circles by Mac Miller and since then you’ve definitely turned into one of my favourite channels on RUclips. Listened to this album today for the second time and you hit the nail on the head. Keep up the great work
My fav album of the decade. You kept looking like you were expecting to hear a bad song and it never came lol, ur reactions are great, album is truly a masterpiece, you just got urself a new sub bruh
this is one of my fav reviews of all time on youtube history what an album what a guy, closest feeling to listening to a masterpiece of an album like its the first time
great reaction. my personal favourite hip hop album. picked up the 1984 edition for record store day earlier this month its so good to have a physical copy
I saw your face when you heard the Domo's verse John! Hes up there with Earl in terms of lyrical ability but he doesn get much buzz. Definetly worth a deeper listen
Without a doubt, Jon is a prime example of how hip hop can really influence people and make people excited. You are an amazin reactor since you care about the culture and the music. Love your work man!!!
at long last a guy who reacts to the music and not just the shock value.. lee hearing you nerd out over some bars oder rhyme patterns or beat break ups, that's what makes great rap man. keep it up
My mans jon denton!!!! One of best albums ever. Crazy how timing works. Freddie just dropped 1985 with alchemist. And alfredo full project with freddie gibbs and alchemist tonight! We need that shit
Jon Thank you for putting this out bro been fuckin with gibbs music for years he's an amazing artist that deserves more respect keep doing your thing my nigga I fuckin love you channel 🔥💪💯❤🙏💐🌹
I’m so glad you have the same appreciation for ‘Uno’ I do. Nobody I know has it in their favorites from this album but I think it might be my favorite hip hop song ever
Love when the shades go on lol

legend fr
The whole tape sounds like a sunset in the hood.
Wowowowow you described it so perfectly😳😳😳😳
Sounds like Indiana summers
Perfect description.
And tomorrow Alfredo, Freddie Gibbs x Alchemist.
Just pre ordered the vinyl and hoodie, gonna be another classic
Elijah Leighton where is it for sale? I dont see it on his sight
@@zachpeterkoski1664 www.alfredo.restaurant/ here's the site
@@elijahleighton1390 On a real, some of the most creative merch I've seen in a while, would totally cop if I hadn't already blown all my money!
@@elijahleighton1390 nice
Genuinely think High is one of the best hip hop tracks ever
It definitely goes off...
I mean when you combine the best sample of all time with the best sample-using producer of all time, and then slap a rapper like Freddie on top of all that the result is unavoidable
beans
@@ryanglynn1150 agreed
I agree.. Everything just goes together so perfectly.
I'm a big fan of Danny Brown now, but honestly it took me so long to get into him (I'm sure I'm not the only one), and his verse on High was the first time I was like wait this guy is great.
He's definitely an acquired taste. He's a very distinctive personality.
That verse was my introduction to Danny Brown
I know atrocity exhibition and his earlier work is great but on uknowwhatimsayin he sounds much easier to listen to if you are not used to his voice
@@andrejristic4956 Oh yeah, I'm definitely a fan now (althought tbh I do struggle with Atrocity Exhibition still, great as it clearly is). And I definitely agree about uknowhatimsayin, much more accessible than his other work, especially AE.

The Harold's beat touches me spiritually
Same case here 🙃
Best reaction since Rodeo
House of Ballons though...
every time Jon reviews an old projects of an artist they drop another one straight after it.. Freddie Gibbs just dropped a tape with Alchemist wtf.. this man is blessed, protect him
Have you ever thought they maybe he drops videos on the same day as an artist is dropping something on purpose?
@@fuegobeats3383 in the cases when he has, the release is usually a surprise drop and isb't announced before the video so idk, but in some cases that may be true as it is better for getting views.
Looks like Jon needs to listen to an old Kendrick mixtape he hasn’t heard then
@@siftwram FRRR that nigga been away for too damn long
ӂ̴ -MATEEN- ӂ̴ yeah very true. Was just a thought. Would be clever on Jon’s behalf of it was the case.
“Watts” is a voice mail left by his uncle (the one he raps about: alcoholic, crack smoking, etc) & his nickname is ‘Big Time Watts’. One insane yet kinda hilarious voice mail... Essentially an interlude, He passed away a few years ago RIP Big Time
It’s such a great album Freddie Gibbs is very underrated
Underrated but I think not underappreciated anymore
I’ve been listening to Freddie since 2010. He’s criminally underrated.
One of the greatest Hip Hop records I've ever heard, rap at it's finest 🔥
I think this is the best produced album of all time, Madlib is unmatched
i cant think of a better produced ablum
It's definently up there with madvillainy, The Cold Vein, The Unseen. Madlib is easily top 5 hip hop producers of all time.
Actually fuck that, he is top 3!
1. Madlib
2. Dilla
3. Premier
4. Kanye
5. El-P
I personally think that J Dilla is better than Madlib. Actually I think Dilla is the greatest of all time and no one is better than him, imo.
The beat switch on Real already a classic. The whole record really already a classic 🔥
when he broke down the youtube trap i had to pause the vid and comment, real ass dude right here
one of the best hip hop albums of all time imo, could listen to it all the way through endlessly. both freddie and madlib went crazy, and the mixture of beautiful, soulful ,unorthodox hip hop beats with raw gangster rap is a match made in heaven. also your reactions are best you actually catch the bars and appreciate the music i love it
Great timing bro! as Freddie has a new album out this weekend entirely produced by Alchemist, guaranteed to be fire 🔥
Really?
YO THE FUCK A FREDDIE X ALCHEMIST RECORD COMING THIS WEEKEND? HOW HAVEN'T I HEARD BOUT THIS UNTIL NOW?
Im Offended Tyler, Benny, Conway and Rick Ross are features 🔥
@@marxistlynchist YOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT THE FUUUCKKK
@@marxistlynchist fam how have i not heared about this
Shouts out to JD, this was the reaction we needed.. One of the greatest albums of my lifetime, no cap.
This was like listening to Piñata for the first time again. Great reaction JD
Completely agree. This shit made me feel like the first time I heard this 🔥 Nostalgia.
One of the greatest albums I’ve heard this century.
Pls do Billy Woods & Kenny Segal - Hiding Places 🙏
Yes
Underrated
YES YES YES
Would love this
Spongebob is the track that got me onto billy woods. When he says you promised damn do I feel that.
This is genuinely in my top 10 favorite albums of all time
One Of The Best Records Ever🐐🔥
John you don’t understand how much you have made my day right here. Waited years for you to get this reaction up man fuck me im so ready for this
16:23 - 18:01 that's why we love you Jon. The level of authenticity from a basic YT reactor's stand point is unparalleled in the game
One of my favorite albums of all time. It’s like listening to the soundtrack of a movie. Such a masterpiece!
Piñata was an instant classic I said it back when it first came out and its still something I dont get tired of listening to today (the definition of a classic). One of the best records to come out in the last 2 decades. Madlib is a fucking genius. Respect.
I'm so glad you said theres an argument for earl being the best current rapper. A lot of people tend to right that off because his discography might not be as legendary but he's up there
Man you've got to do James Blake-Assume form, that album is just beatiful.
YES!!!
He's heard it
@@licoricelaces4205 shit, my bad.
@@licoricelaces4205 - Really? How do you know? I believe you, I'm just curious. Is it because it was on British radio a lot?
@@SomethingSeemsOff he commented on another video responding to someone asking for a reaction. I don't remember which video. He said it he thought it was fantastic though
One of the best albums ive ever heard its real life bro, i loaned my friend that CD never got it back i cant blame him
I can’t explain how much I love thuggin, best is so nostalgic for me too
We need MM..FOOD or VaudeVille Villain b MF DOOM!
Or Operation Doomsday!
i second this plug. MM FOOD :whew:
@@jamielee5695 great album aswell
Vaudeville Villain for sure. DOOM at his lyrical peak, crazy production. Perhaps his best album
@@SquishyTF2 yeah I love it probably number 2 for me after MadVillainy
When you started quoting bars I was like "there's no way he doesn't pause on that 'euthanasia' bar in Shitsville" because that's one of the slickest lines I've ever heard.
for real that’s coldest line i’ve ever heard
This notification honestly made my day man. And loved the rant aswell. Amazing to see how much you've grown into hiphop over the years. Have a great day Jon!
Nice pfp
@@jean522 🙏🏽🔥
Your Monologue at 16:00 is something more people need to speak on. I appreciate the honesty about your reviews
Two best words to describe Gibbs’ rapping: effortlessly and calculated.
Not a single bar wasted
Favorite album of all time right here
This album is an all time classic
That thumbnail caught me off guard lmao
Bro I've been watching since Rock React, I love the way John's has navigated this hip hop thing and matured his taste. For some reason it's so comforting seeing some one like him from a completely different walk of life appreciate Black art, and really understand/appreciating it on a deeper level

Finally! Gibbs been one of the most consistent artists for well over a decade. So glad has gettin the shine he deserves for the work he put in
This album is a classic! You should try listening to Little Simz - Grey Area
We gotta see an Atrocity Exhibition reaction soon! One of the best hip-hop albums of the last decade.
Freddie is top 5 in terms of active rappers rn imo, his constant progression, consistency, and versatility is almost unrivaled
uno genuinely one of the best rap songs I've hea4d
From Trap to Boom Bap... that boy showing range. This producer is EVERYTHING!!
finally, i get to see your reaction to my favorite album, thanks jon
My fav album of the decade. You kept looking like you were expecting to hear a bad song and it never came lol, ur reactions are great, album is truly a masterpiece, you just got urself a new sub bruh
Top 3 of the decade
Finally someone who puts respect on Freddie Gibbs! Great video bro
23:17 facts!! 🔥 The last dance was unbelievably good. And saved the year imo.
Freddie can rap over any beat. UNO goes hard af
you’re the man for recognizing Earl as one of the (if not THE) best in the world. He’s too good to be overlooked and I’m glad someone hears it, bro 👌
Gotta say Domo Genesis is pretty underrated. Worth it to check out his old stuff as well as Mellowhype.
Old stuff? Everything that man touches is gold
No idols is my shit
Keep up the awesome work. I love all types of music and one of the reasons I watch your videos.
this is one of my fav reviews of all time on youtube history
what an album what a guy, closest feeling to listening to a masterpiece of an album like its the first time
great reaction. my personal favourite hip hop album. picked up the 1984 edition for record store day earlier this month its so good to have a physical copy
Alright, this is the video (with the yt rant) that made me become a patron.
Ily bro
I saw your face when you heard the Domo's verse John! Hes up there with Earl in terms of lyrical ability but he doesn get much buzz. Definetly worth a deeper listen
like how you are gradually moving closer to listening to Ka and can’t wait to see ur reaction when you listen to the grandmaster of lyricism.
Really like your opinion on the analytics John. Support from New Zealand! Keep it real
Top 5 albums ever
I wish I could go back in time and listen to Pinata for the first time again
Jon I know this is an old vid. But the deluxe dropped last week and there is some crazy tracks, instrumental pieces, and remixes
respect for what u mentioned bout yt. keep rockin
Finally Jon! I'm so excited
What I wouldn't do to be able to hear this for the first time again. Much respect!
Without a doubt, Jon is a prime example of how hip hop can really influence people and make people excited. You are an amazin reactor since you care about the culture and the music. Love your work man!!!
that youtube talk in the middle was real, keep doing what you like, jon. we're here for it. piñata is a classic at this point
I'm glad my favorite cut of this joint made you go out on a rant, Jonny Eastside - keep bringing the realness.
Some of the best beats I've ever heard in my life
I literally looked at your channel last week to see if you reacted to this and was a lil sad when I found out you didnt. Thank you
Let’s goooo been waiting for this
Genuinely one of my all time favorite records
