Out of all the reaction videos I’ve watched, no one catches the Martin Luther/Hoover/Freddy line and connections. Idk if it’s because the channel creators are young or what, but that entire part is one of my favorites. “And I dream like Martin Luther [Fall asleep] (King dying)to the [sound of the hoover] (some conspiracy theorists believe that J Edgar Hoover gave the order to have King killed) Nightmare, (To millions, King’s death was indeed a nightmare)Frederick Krueger,” then Pete connects Freddy and the Nightmare on Elm Street reference …”Money gets made and the packs I’m serving He mess with the cake then I’ll Battenberg him Kipling, missed him…” What I think is one layer of the lyrics, is Bas will beat some ass [Battenberg/Battering him] if someone interferes with the money he’s getting. Another layer is Mr. Kipling Battenberg cake is a well known sponge cake in the UK and it usually doesn’t last long in households from ppl eating it up. So Pete missed the cake that was being served up literally and figuratively. I love the Drip/ Christening, Sheldon/ Shelled on/Big Bang Theory, and the Bet he/ Betty Crocker bars

@MkJuny_rl you act like most everybody in the game doesn't, most people at the Cypher bringing prewritten rhymes, stay mad two old geezers got more cred that you'll ever have 🤣🤣
No they, don't. They're just white so they get gassed up when they rap. Like all white people who briefly give chads and Matthews hope of being relevant.
"Then I switch suits like Mr Ben" is a reference to a 1971/72 BBC cartoon (based on book series from 1967) about a man called Mr Ben who visits a magic dress-up shop, changes into a new set of clothes, and then leaves the shop to have an adventure in a world suited to the clothes (so if he dressed in Arabian dress he'd come out and have an adventure with Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves). So in this reckon they're indicating they get out of trouble quick with a clothes change to avoid the blues in the rear in the next verse.
I took it as an "Uncle Ben's" rice reference because he's in the kitchen cooking, Uncle Ben has a suit on in the picture on the box, and in the marketing Uncle Ben's rice used "whip it up to make your meal complete" because it's minute rice. Pete and Bas's stuff is freaking deep.
@@leviswranglers2813 have no doubt that they had both meanings in mind when writing these bars 🔥 it's definitely the Mr Ben TV show they're directly referencing, but the Uncle Ben theme fits too 😄🔥
Battenberg is a cake with a checkerboard pattern inside made by cutting it up into sections, and it's also the name of the colored markings on ambulances/emergency vehicles in the UK and other countries, so he's using it as a verb in a novel way to mean both 'cut into sections' and 'send to the hospital.'
Pete, Bas and 91 Shots went to a different galaxy with this track. Beat switches, finishing each other's verses, flows and wordplay... It's a masterclass.
Bro the fact you get right into the video without a long and unnecessary intro AND the bar explanations you include make this the IDEAL react channel. You deserve more subscribers
Agreed, and I live in the UK, work in London. Still don't know half of what they are saying most of the time. All I know is that they are the elite rappers in the country and there are young men who think they run the game, being put to shame.
What the?? I mean holy f**k I surrender. These 2 are in God Mode levels with their rhymes. The way they play off and into one another's lyrics is absolutely on another level.
INNNNSAAAAAAANNNEEEE. This is an absolute perfect example that the entertainment/music business is open to every one doing whatever they want to do. So freaking impressive.
No lie, brother, this is one of my favorite videos to come back to. You GET it, and your reactions were the same as mine. Like this is criminally good, and criminally underrated. The whole cake/Batternberg/Kipling scheme is insane. Mess with the cake/product/ladies belonging to Bas and he'll "Batternberg" him? Put him in the ambulance? Kipling? Cake, but also the Jungle fucking Book? WHAT??!
They are the very top lyricist. Their delivery and depth of bars, and cadence is probably the best I've heard ever. Not to mention flowing it over that thick like Jemima syrup spiced with pop rocks in it... beat. It was a treat.
"and I dream like Martin Luther // fall asleep to the sound of the hoover" Hoover = Vacuum, but also, J Edgar Hoover! (if you know the history) 🔥 Most overlooked bars IMO
Hoover was the one who started the cointelpro smear campaign against MLK. So he's dreaming like a Martin Luther who fell asleep listening to the bs from J.Hoover, so the dream was actually a nightmare like Freddy Kruger. Wow that's wild.
Wowww these men transformed my whole reality is this real? Wow, it's one of the best songs I've ever heard... How is this possible? oh my gosh they are amazing
This whole song is impeccable! I love all the references, the play of words, and the flow. If you dig deeper you will find out how far these references go. No chorus needed just straight Bars!! I love how these men just had you almost speechless 🤣

One of my favorite reactions! Your facial expressions were essentially a perfect reflection of how I was feeling when I was watching them... All the things between the spectrum of Awe and Utter respect! From that jolt of surprise to the light dawning to shock and just processing what you're seeing. I hope they inspire more! They're incredible. Also, I really like your reaction video style. Some interjections and comments are to be expected and desired from viewers for any reactions obviously, but I really appreciated your timing and substance for those comments while allowing time for people to hear the song in a cohesive way without it being stopped every 7 seconds. I loved when you said "Let's just enjoy this", then your moments of commentary were perfectly timed. That's part of the experience together as viewer and creator, you made it exactly what I want out of a reaction video to music! Look forward to more
Thank you so much. I always appreciate when people take time to leave meaningful comments. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience and even more glad that you picked up on my approach to reactions. Some people watch these things and think it's just "stealing content" and don't realize there's REALLY a science to this that you'll only understand with experience. I'm definitely very proud of how this turned out and I KNEW right after filling that it was going to be a great vid. Thank you for putting into words exactly why.
your reactions are PRICELESS! I'll be honest - this is only the third video in the last 10 minutes of these two that I have found/watched and I AM BLOWN THE F--- AWAY! BUT I DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE REAL THE FIRST VIDEO I WATCHED! I THOUGHT THEY WERE LIP SYNCING!! I am undeniably impressed and absolutely adore these two! I appreciate you posting the bars for us. Makes the experience more enjoyable, and you don't stop it every few seconds. Thank you and keep it up!
As an American I can honestly say that Pete and Bas are the best in hip hop. Not just now, but probably the last 10 years. Hopefully they make their way stateside.
nobody even notices the bars at the beginning when bas is talking chopping up the lime and pouring it in. it makes it sound like he's making a drink, but he's also saying it like he's using lime to decompose a body to get rid of the evidence of the person he just put in the ground. sick wordplay and duality.
I've been waiting for someone in the comments to state this, to many peeps slept on that bar. He states at the beginning "Grim". Thank you for mentioning it
I keep coming back to this video. This track is just so good, and your reaction is legit. A lot of reaction channels are cringe. You should compare this to their debut track "Shut Your Mouth." I remember finding that track and thinking, "it's good, but this is just a novelty." I've never been happier to be proven wrong. I really hope the boys and the whole Snooker Team can do a few shows in the states. I'll be there front row, in my 3 piece.
Thank you so much for the support! Also for taking the time to leave this comment. I feel you on the novelty thing. At first it felt like a gimmick and now they're proving to be more and more legit as performers and artists.
That 'what's the plan' verse has a crazy good cadence, reggaeton rhythm rapping from fellas in their 70s For non-British folks, the line 'mess with the cake and i'll battenberg him' could be a little bit of rhyming slang for 'merk' which means murder, but more like is that battenberg cake is cut up and rearranged into squares in a chequerboard pattern. UK ambulances have a chequerboard pattern to stand out. So what he's saying is that if you mess with his 'cake' (money; "my slice of the pie" in American perhaps?) you'll get cut up and put in an ambulance. Pete follows it up with 'Kipling' and Mr. Kipling is a UK cake brand. Genius. :D I've seen people suggest that Kipling also refers to writer Rudyard Kipling, whose son John died in battle but his body was never recovered, but I think that's a stretch even for Pete and Bas.
2:35 - Yeah, this switch up killed me the first time I watched the video. It's like they were already good and they had to go and step their level up? They brought their SSS game on this one.
im glad that you mentioned the seemless transitions of the beat and the flows because fun fact sinduh is some river in India so basically we seeing them flow like a river lol first time on the channel and um don't know if that was too nerdy or anything but its a cool play on how they flexed they flows and such
So the Mr Benn bar is very specific to a certain UK age group - it was a 70s cartoon where Mr Ben went to a fancy dress shop, put on an outfit and got transported to the relevant environment for that outfit
I just discovered these guys a couple days ago and I'm beyond blown away! "I'll hurt him. One thing's for sure and two thing's for certain. Money gets made on the packs I'm serving. He mess with the cake and I'll Battenberg him." (A Battenberg is a kind of cake. Looks like a checkerboard pattern.)
I wonder if "house in the country...plundered" and "clean out the boot...have to get back for the start of the match" is reference to the story about various Liverpool players houses being burgled while they were playing football matches
How? Like, how? Just... HOW are they this GOOD at this? I don't understand, but I am definitely loving what these dudes bring to the rap game. Astounding in every sense of the word. Flabbergasted. That's what I am.
Well...if you think about it why would guys have to be young to a)understand cadence and b)have an elite sense for poetic metaphor etc. Assuming they don't have their shlt purely ghost written, its plausible that theyre uber talented and just found out way late.
@@presidentresident you make fantastic points. It's just kinda mind blowing to see dudes that old be far more talented than around 80% of the rappers currently making music
@@presidentresident No ghostwriter. Both claim crimes you can trace pretty easy. Pete's Grandkids taught them the current slang, everything else is a 50 year old true story as far as the gangster aspect goes. These two were probably the hitter team for the Cray's at some point. Pete calls out a couple hoods in the vid. That was Cray territory. All the young Drillers, who are actual gangbangers BTW, show these guys a level of respect you'd show a Don. Both are legit retired badasses.
Also in the UK "flip the bird" means given the middle finger, so its a double :D I don't know if you knew but the people who make Battenburg's is Kipling
Yooooo, these OG's go CRAZY!!! 🤣🤣🤣 This is going to be A LOT, but unless I'm looking into it too much, that MLK line is one of the coldest I've ever heard!!! "And I dream like Martin Luther, Fall asleep to the sound of the Hoover Nightmare, Frederick Kruger Sleep with the fishes now he's tuna!" 1st Meaning: He dreams big like Martin Luther and at night he uses the sound of the Hoover (vacuum) to sleep. But, he's so terrifying on paper/real life that he's got you thinking of him at night! So keep your eyes open, because once you sleep, you'll be left behind, "dead" & canned like tuna. 2nd Meaning: He dreams big like MLK and has a platform. This makes him a problem in the industry! You become a problem, you get placed on peoples' radar! MLK; was infamously and allegedly assassinated by the FBI. FBI director at that time of assassination was J. EDGAR HOOVER! Him dreaming as big as he is and them having the platform they do makes him a nightmare for the "industry". The only way you can get rid of him is by killing him, leaving him "dead with the fishes and canned" I might be digging, but that's what I got from that section! Nonetheless, these OG's PETE & BAS GOT A NEW FAN!!! 🔥🔥🔥
You missed the fact that he said . and I dream like Martin Luther, and then ends the verse with 'don't care about color, black or white we can still be brothers' - which was MLK's actual dream. Crazy stuff man.
Del boy is a reference to a famous character from a British sitcom called "only fools and horses". The show is set in a London Borough called Peckham, which is where Pete is from
These Ol' Cats are phenomenal! I'm here for the word play!!!! They been smokin' nem stogies bout 60 years, but they don't get winded! Them beats in the back be perfectly blended. P & B be spreadin' all over these bars I'm Jelly, be smashin' them likes like what the helly... while they throwin' them blows like Rockefeller. Bobbin' my head & can't stop reelin'. Got 2 big fish from across the pond, peat & bass, I'm trapped, but they got me hooked on every track I'm squealin'. They be piggin' out, every verse they eatin'. Leavin' me dead imma need a hearse.
For those that don’t know, at 8:39, “grab that stick now I’m dipping and swerving. Flick of the wrist and left him gurning.” “Gurning” is when a person makes the most twisted face they possibly can. So, he dipped and swerved so sick, he left witnesses behind pulling twisted faces. Sick rhyme.
Drop your favorite bar and/or scheme

…”Money gets made and the packs I’m serving
He mess with the cake then I’ll Battenberg him
Kipling, missed him…”
What I think is one layer of the lyrics, is Bas will beat some ass [Battenberg/Battering him] if someone interferes with the money he’s getting. Another layer is Mr. Kipling Battenberg cake is a well known sponge cake in the UK and it usually doesn’t last long in households from ppl eating it up. So Pete missed the cake that was being served up literally and figuratively.

@@KRXOVRmedia it’s the eyes. This mf ain’t a studio gangster he’s a gangster that’s got so little time left he doesn’t give a f bout telling on himself and it’s awesome.
It also harkens back to a line from Tom Hardy in the "legends" movie about the biggest London gangsters from the early mid 20th century
fucking hard.
Just like he he hurt that red button does thr button usually get this abused because damn that poor button got slapped as hard as this song slaps
and a solid find is that when he's talking about pouring lime, it's both about drinking gin AND disposing a body.
Damn
That little section is so rich with double meaning. 'Grabbed the lime chopped it up, popped the cap poured it in.'
"Kissed...the curb" is such a great handoff/transition like it's actually crazy

That and the ringa-ding-ding..transition
It is genuinely a thing of pure beauty.

I don't know a lot of rap, but the quality is just undeniable. It doesn't take a master to recognize a master-stroke. Good GOD.
I had a very similar reaction the first time I heard this, lol. Absolutely IMMACULATE!
I thought it was a meme. Yet here I am, waiting on the next drop
"I'll hurt em" and just letting that line hang is HARD
Truly is!
nobody even notices the bars at the beginning when bas is talking chopping up the lime and pouring it in. it makes it sound like he's making a drink, but he's also saying it like he's using lime to decompose a body to get rid of the evidence of the person he just put in the ground. sick wordplay and duality.
I've been waiting for someone in the comments to state this, to many peeps slept on that bar. He states at the beginning "Grim". Thank you for mentioning it
Oh my godddd I totally missed that. These guys are playing 4d chess with their bars
@@vicgull5 trust me my g
I keep coming back to this video. This track is just so good, and your reaction is legit. A lot of reaction channels are cringe. You should compare this to their debut track "Shut Your Mouth." I remember finding that track and thinking, "it's good, but this is just a novelty." I've never been happier to be proven wrong. I really hope the boys and the whole Snooker Team can do a few shows in the states. I'll be there front row, in my 3 piece.
Thank you so much for the support! Also for taking the time to leave this comment. I feel you on the novelty thing. At first it felt like a gimmick and now they're proving to be more and more legit as performers and artists.
That 'what's the plan' verse has a crazy good cadence, reggaeton rhythm rapping from fellas in their 70s
For non-British folks, the line 'mess with the cake and i'll battenberg him' could be a little bit of rhyming slang for 'merk' which means murder, but more like is that battenberg cake is cut up and rearranged into squares in a chequerboard pattern. UK ambulances have a chequerboard pattern to stand out. So what he's saying is that if you mess with his 'cake' (money; "my slice of the pie" in American perhaps?) you'll get cut up and put in an ambulance.
Pete follows it up with 'Kipling' and Mr. Kipling is a UK cake brand. Genius. :D
I've seen people suggest that Kipling also refers to writer Rudyard Kipling, whose son John died in battle but his body was never recovered, but I think that's a stretch even for Pete and Bas.
Great reaction to a class pair of old school Brits showing the young boys they can do it in the rap scene. Respect in both cases 👏
2:35 - Yeah, this switch up killed me the first time I watched the video. It's like they were already good and they had to go and step their level up? They brought their SSS game on this one.
Their switch ups are GOATED
I love how you get all the British slang. Pete and Bas are the ‘mutts’ 😄
He missed the delboy stolen TV's and Kipling and biscuits ref but got so many others, there's a lot of Brit humour in this.
@@Claire-77 He did catch the Battenberg though so he's in the neighbourhood
The battenburg line! That was awesome.
10/10 song with a 10/10 edit . Even my sis who isn’t a fan of drill danced to this😂😂😂
😭 😭 😭 😭 That's lit. Thank you for the compliment. I took my time editing this one because I knew it would be worth it
@@KRXOVRmedia yeah this editing was top tier. Literally the best I’ve ever seen a reactor edit
Thank you! That's the goalll
Thank you for reacting to the kissed the curb handoff! so many people miss that!
im glad that you mentioned the seemless transitions of the beat and the flows because fun fact sinduh is some river in India so basically we seeing them flow like a river lol first time on the channel and um don't know if that was too nerdy or anything but its a cool play on how they flexed they flows and such
Interesting fact. Thanks for sharing.
So the Mr Benn bar is very specific to a certain UK age group - it was a 70s cartoon where Mr Ben went to a fancy dress shop, put on an outfit and got transported to the relevant environment for that outfit
Gotta love the cake bars 🤘🏻
East ends original Cockney Grimers ❤️👏👏
WOW IS ALL I CAN SAY WOW. LET ME PICK MY MOUTH UP OFF THE FLOOR
I’ve never seen a reaction and break down like this. I’m still picking my jaw up. Subscribed.
Thank you!!
Man this shit just slaps so hard.
NOBODYS doing it like this anymore. Bring this style back
I just discovered these guys a couple days ago and I'm beyond blown away! "I'll hurt him. One thing's for sure and two thing's for certain. Money gets made on the packs I'm serving. He mess with the cake and I'll Battenberg him." (A Battenberg is a kind of cake. Looks like a checkerboard pattern.)
I've been on pete and bas since dents in a Peugeot seeing them evolve into some of the best artists in the scene is insane
Worddd
HOLY I LOVE THAT THEY INCLUDED GUNDAM AFTER THAT SHELDON SPLIT
Factssss
You had me rolling watching this bro 😅😂 cuz I, too, know how you feel.. Who are these GREAT old men 🤔 👀
I was with you every damn step man...just FIRE defying all logic. Instant RAP OG's...
Bro. I'm so glad I found this. I'm finna show all my boys this. We work with music all the time and this fire.
I am amazed, blown away by these guys.. I'm definitely buy they stuff
And this proves again is why i love Pete and Bas reactions: there is no reaction, just left speechless
I would def be down for a FULL breakdown video!
That would take too damn long LMAOOOOOOOO. I might consider it though
I am not a rapper, dam their bars are beyond sick! Englishmen in New York!
I literally rewatched this morning and caught another bar, this is INSANE
Yeah they were WILDIN with this one
I wonder if "house in the country...plundered" and "clean out the boot...have to get back for the start of the match" is reference to the story about various Liverpool players houses being burgled while they were playing football matches
Good question
How? Like, how? Just... HOW are they this GOOD at this? I don't understand, but I am definitely loving what these dudes bring to the rap game. Astounding in every sense of the word. Flabbergasted. That's what I am.
Well...if you think about it why would guys have to be young to a)understand cadence and b)have an elite sense for poetic metaphor etc. Assuming they don't have their shlt purely ghost written, its plausible that theyre uber talented and just found out way late.
@@presidentresident you make fantastic points. It's just kinda mind blowing to see dudes that old be far more talented than around 80% of the rappers currently making music
@@presidentresident No ghostwriter. Both claim crimes you can trace pretty easy. Pete's Grandkids taught them the current slang, everything else is a 50 year old true story as far as the gangster aspect goes.
These two were probably the hitter team for the Cray's at some point. Pete calls out a couple hoods in the vid. That was Cray territory. All the young Drillers, who are actual gangbangers BTW, show these guys a level of respect you'd show a Don. Both are legit retired badasses.
You finally get to this one just to have Pete and Bas drop another today
loooooooool
Also in the UK "flip the bird" means given the middle finger, so its a double :D I don't know if you knew but the people who make Battenburg's is Kipling
Yooooo, these OG's go CRAZY!!! 🤣🤣🤣
This is going to be A LOT, but unless I'm looking into it too much, that MLK line is one of the coldest I've ever heard!!!
"And I dream like Martin Luther,
Fall asleep to the sound of the Hoover
Nightmare, Frederick Kruger
Sleep with the fishes now he's tuna!"
1st Meaning: He dreams big like Martin Luther and at night he uses the sound of the Hoover (vacuum) to sleep.
But, he's so terrifying on paper/real life that he's got you thinking of him at night! So keep your eyes open, because once you sleep, you'll be left behind, "dead" & canned like tuna.
2nd Meaning: He dreams big like MLK and has a platform. This makes him a problem in the industry! You become a problem, you get placed on peoples' radar!
MLK; was infamously and allegedly assassinated by the FBI. FBI director at that time of assassination was J. EDGAR HOOVER!
Him dreaming as big as he is and them having the platform they do makes him a nightmare for the "industry". The only way you can get rid of him is by killing him, leaving him "dead with the fishes and canned"
I might be digging, but that's what I got from that section! Nonetheless, these OG's PETE & BAS GOT A NEW FAN!!! 🔥🔥🔥
You missed the fact that he said . and I dream like Martin Luther, and then ends the verse with 'don't care about color, black or white we can still be brothers' - which was MLK's actual dream. Crazy stuff man.
Del boy is a reference to a famous character from a British sitcom called "only fools and horses". The show is set in a London Borough called Peckham, which is where Pete is from
Rodney you plonker😂
Ahhh got it. Thank you!
That transition in the Bell scheme was mind blowing !!! And you're one of the few reactions I've seen that felt it hahaha , you got my sub ! Lol
Thank you!!
Old school London Boys respect to them ❤️
Sign of the that two of the best rappers of the time are two old guys. Epic! But the slang is sometimes hard to follow for none Brits.
Goated track deserves goated editing and you delivered chief
Thank you!
These Ol' Cats are phenomenal! I'm here for the word play!!!! They been smokin' nem stogies bout 60 years, but they don't get winded! Them beats in the back be perfectly blended. P & B be spreadin' all over these bars I'm Jelly, be smashin' them likes like what the helly... while they throwin' them blows like Rockefeller. Bobbin' my head & can't stop reelin'. Got 2 big fish from across the pond, peat & bass, I'm trapped, but they got me hooked on every track I'm squealin'. They be piggin' out, every verse they eatin'. Leavin' me dead imma need a hearse.
@KRXOVRmedia
The face pulled at 1:48 is how I've been feeling about Sindhu Sesh the entire time aha
A reaction that I come back to watch time and time again. ❤❤🤟🤟
THATS IT, IM SICK OF THIS! WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE BEATING THE MIC UP LIKE THAT! HUH!?! 🔥🔥🔥
For those that don’t know, at 8:39, “grab that stick now I’m dipping and swerving. Flick of the wrist and left him gurning.” “Gurning” is when a person makes the most twisted face they possibly can. So, he dipped and swerved so sick, he left witnesses behind pulling twisted faces. Sick rhyme.
I love this reaction. The footnotes are gold.
Thank you!
