you have to actually be fucking kidding me. this is one of my favorite songs in the world, and it’s been forever since i’ve seen someone react to this song. lil dicky hasn’t released anything lately so he’s kinda under the radar. and this song didn’t blow up like so many of his other songs. i love watching people’s reactions to this song and looked up reactions to this song two days ago, and there wasn’t a video i haven’t watched. so not only is someone new reacting to it, ITS YOU REACTING TO IT. i just woke up to this, i’m so hype.
One of the only people who 1. Saw the metaphor before it actually came to fruition & 2. Was able to articulate the metaphor and explain it using references to Dave’s life, show, and ambitions. Mad respect ✊🏼
It's legit one of the best songs I've ever heard. As soon as I heard him pop this off I knew he was something different. Been following Dicky since So Hard dropped and God damn he's so talented.
I watch this reaction back every so often. It’s the best reaction to this song. Love to see the natural reaction and astonishment to how well this song was written. 🫡
Aye bro, I'm glad to hear someone else shares my opinion that he's top 10 in the game rn (top 5 newer gen rappers). People say I'm wack for thinking that, but I think his skill and bars just fly over their heads.
I love LD and would put him on my top 5 of current gen rappers(or new-ish rappers), I’m sure I had him in that spot a few years back when he was working hard on music and releasing a lot of it, but the lack of new songs for such an extended period of time makes it hard to put him that high on a top list of current rappers who actually are steady putting out great music. BUT, LD definitely will eventually get back to making music, I think he actually said the album we’ve all been waiting on is his next priority before season 3 of Dave. So ya im excited for that for sure, and as much as I enjoy his show, Dave, I don’t want to miss out on the amazing music he’d be putting out it he wasn’t so busy acting in and making a hit tv show. He’s said over and over that he wants to be listed as one of the greats of rap and he has the skill/ability to do so IMO but that’ll only happen when he builds his discography and in the process of doing so builds his fan base further and makes himself impossible to ignore in any discussion of the best rappers currently in the game. Anyway though: dope breakdown, can’t wait for LD’s long anticipated album to finally drop. When it does you should react to every track @TheThirdErnest
This is, hands down, the best reaction to this song. You totally got it and digested it on the first listen. As soon as I saw the title of this video I was excited because I knew it was going to be this good. This song was just waiting for you to react to it. P.S. A Lil Dicky song AS GOOD AS this one is "Make Belief"
ngl I feel the same way but I don't wanna come across cocky if I say it out loud lolbthe goal is 500k this year!! thanks for watching and tell a friend to tell a friend lol
Bro, you are a FREAKING genius!!! Your takes immaculate (always) The smartest thing I ever did was to subscribe to your channel. Thank you for the quality content!
@@TheThirdErnest sick bro keep up the good work. Hoping it's not one of his corny songs that give you a bad impression he makes a lot of stuff for kids
What you said about win-win/lose-lose is so true man. Like I wanted his show to be successful because it's what he always wanted. But at the same time, I wanted him to keep focusing on rap. Dudes just straight talented regardless
IT JUST ALL CLICKED 😱 the crazy scheme on the sway in the morning freestyle a year ago where Lil dicky was like from "im off farm im on the court " reference to this whole ( concept )song
Tell are your friends my guy....we need this man to blow up all over the world much love. Love what I'm hearing from you guys on Harry Mack on RUclips videos and what not but MUCH love to all yall
I heard this track about a month ago for the first time and after one listen this song is in my top ten all time ,That’s what a good ass track it is to me at least 💯💯
Oh my Lord you just made my day and broke my RUclips recommended. I literally just went on a spree checking out reactions to this track. One of his best shows of skill and a super dope experience
I've been waiting so long to hear you react to this one. Tbh, it's my favorite track that he's made. Glad you finally got to enjoy it with the rest of us. 💯
I know I’m late af but the fact that you were able to gather all of this on the first listen tells me how good you are at breaking down music. Glad I’m subbed to you for real!! 💪🏼
Finally someone who actually understands the song, knows everything about the artist, this video is worth every minutes. Just have reminded of this song, what a coincidence that this video is new. Earned my respect and subscribed.
@@TheThirdErnest Geez, OKC would be the OG Golden State Warriors if Durant, Westbrook and Hardin had stuck together. OKC is on a rebuild, so our team sucks ass this year 😢. I’m assuming you’re a Spurs fan??
Talk about deja vu... yesterday I searched your channel for this reaction... holy crap dude... that’s crazy ‘ish... wow... **Edit: ...and THAT is why ya boy is one of the best in reactions.... that was the dopest reaction I’ve seen for this and why I searched yesterday... that’s still crazy...
Late but you missed the bar "I'm hot enough to where I know it's not illusion" because they say heat haze isn't an illusion of the mind like people think but just an effect of heat and air and is a real thing that we can see (ie. lil dicky). You make the best reaction videos and its not even close. Keep it up bro
Your reactions are unreal. You need to check out some of his other serious songs.. 'bruh' 'how can u sleep' and 'molly'. Would love to see you break it down.
my man, you break down bars better than anyone else on youtube... it's absolutely ridiculous how well you break down lyrics of any track you listen to and it's scary how well you can recall lyrics of songs long ago! Started watching you from TOP and Lil Dicky reactions and wanted to let you know that you do it better than the rest bro
Didn't talk enough about the insane ...ality scheme that went on for ages but great reaction/break down as always! I have never been as impressed by another song in my life - the analogy, flo, rhyme schemes were toooo strong!
Bout time my guy! Lol I felt the same way when I first heard it. I was like "the fuck? Lil Dickey? Like the corny Save That Money guy?" Wish he put out more real shit like this. Keep it up Ernest
Man I love other Lil Dicky but this song is on a whole bother level. By far my favorite song from him. And it’s inspiring to take that leap and do what makes you happy and what you love
BROOOOO i've been begging for this for so long. my all time favourite Dicky track and one of my favourites of all time.
Your ability to interpret and articulate is unmatched
Amen
Hear hear
Its good but don't say unmatched..number 1 bar breakdown is Knox Hill..actual rapper who brings it down to the syllable count
@@ericbagetis1721 I was literally about to say that
@@ericbagetis1721 does he articulate them just as well? What’s a good video to watch
My favorite thing about lil dicky is how good he is at storytelling without even really trying
TRUMAN IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME
@@TheThirdErnest Truman, the antagonist, and molly are the songs I recommend people to listen to when they say lil dicky is corny or just a funny guy
@@markrush8080 Dude got layers.
The brain album was obviously comedic but How Can U Sleep goes absolutely hard as fuck
Also Make Belief and How can you sleep ft the Game are both 🔥🔥
you have to actually be fucking kidding me. this is one of my favorite songs in the world, and it’s been forever since i’ve seen someone react to this song. lil dicky hasn’t released anything lately so he’s kinda under the radar. and this song didn’t blow up like so many of his other songs. i love watching people’s reactions to this song and looked up reactions to this song two days ago, and there wasn’t a video i haven’t watched. so not only is someone new reacting to it, ITS YOU REACTING TO IT. i just woke up to this, i’m so hype.
this is probably my favorite dicky song of all time now if not all songs lol

Mad respect ✊🏼
appreciate you Tim!!! man one of the greatest metaphors ive ever heard
I see a lot similarities in your story too bro, props to you for going hard and fully “invested” on RUclips. That’s why you the 🐐 🤙🏽
damn never thought about that...appreciate that man!! gotta take that leap sometimes!
It's legit one of the best songs I've ever heard. As soon as I heard him pop this off I knew he was something different. Been following Dicky since So Hard dropped and God damn he's so talented.
this right here should've got him signed single handedly
Anyone that's shot a ball knows that sound and how rewarding it is.
Borderline sexual.
Especially when its a longer net and it loops around and gets stuck on the rim because the shot was so pure
I watch this reaction back every so often. It’s the best reaction to this song. Love to see the natural reaction and astonishment to how well this song was written. 🫡
Thank you for doing this song! I'm glad that I could support you!❤
All time great. All time. Alllll time
APPRECIATE YOU!!

No you correct pen game zero zero doubt
It honestly is that bro...if you show them pillow talking and they dont fuck with it..just dont even bother lol

texas in the house!! yes...the second half is insane
@@TheThirdErnest we still kinfolk even though you're from San Antonio lol
Every time I watch one of your videos I’m confused and low-key mad that you don’t have at least a million subscribers. Shit is crazy. 🖤
I'm long past low-key. It's bullshit. Should at LEAST be 500K on a bad year c'mon.
Same here I don't understand how some of these other reaction channels have more than our boy Ernest
@@tonyfro23 Truth.
@@ChaTaFuCuP1314 Yeah I can think of like six right off hand. And there are so many more. It just makes no sense.

Bro, you are a FREAKING genius!!! Your takes immaculate (always) The smartest thing I ever did was to subscribe to your channel. Thank you for the quality content!
Lil Dicky is the man, but when he gets deep in his bag like this track, he just annihilates beats. Awesome review
Lil dicky- make belief. Its from the same mixtape and its also fireeee
I get goose bumps everytime I hear the he knew he had found "him" line. The imagery is insane bro. Please do dan bull Civilization rap
that part gets me every time now...we all can only hope to have that moment...and I have it recorded just not edited someone requested dan bull
@@TheThirdErnest sick bro keep up the good work. Hoping it's not one of his corny songs that give you a bad impression he makes a lot of stuff for kids
YESSS, been waiting for soo long for this, this shit fire
TOO FIRE RAEBOE!!
Loved the reaction! Love coming back to this one 👏🏼👏🏼
Omg finally!!! I’ve been waiting for like 1 year for this.

Thanks for talking us on this journey with you Ernest.

What you said about win-win/lose-lose is so true man. Like I wanted his show to be successful because it's what he always wanted. But at the same time, I wanted him to keep focusing on rap. Dudes just straight talented regardless

Third Fam!! Let’s gooooo!!! 💥 💥 💥 Been wanting this one since I ran across your channel Fam! Let’s get it.
"But greatness ain't about cake" with the scratched sample of C.R.E.A.M. playing in the back is such a perfect end to that whole song/story
IT JUST ALL CLICKED 😱 the crazy scheme on the sway in the morning freestyle a year ago where Lil dicky was like from "im off farm im on the court " reference to this whole ( concept )song
FINALLY BRO! I been waitin my whole life for you to react to this shit!!!!
IDK HOW I HADN'T HEARD IT BEFORE!!
I’m SO happy you reacted to this finally. I’ve seen just about every reaction video to this, and yours was truly the missing piece. Thanks
Your ability to connect & recall past lyrics is incredible
Hey Bro ! I'm from India and imm a hugely doped with ur videos and it literally looks all the great songs and looked up all the songs u do works on it

I heard this track about a month ago for the first time and after one listen this song is in my top ten all time ,That’s what a good ass track it is to me at least 💯💯
No such thing as "too late" when listening to this song. Now do Make Belief by Lil Dicky
DO MAKE BELIEF ERNEST
Been waiting for this for so long
I have been waiting for your reaction to this!
One of the best reaction videos out there.
Oh my Lord you just made my day and broke my RUclips recommended. I literally just went on a spree checking out reactions to this track. One of his best shows of skill and a super dope experience
I hate that lol you go down one rabbit hole and takes a month to reset the algooo lol
Finally! So hyped for this
Great reactions! Really scared by lil dicky is also a great serious track to cover. Keep grinding brother, 2021 I wanna see you at a million subs!
I've been waiting so long to hear you react to this one. Tbh, it's my favorite track that he's made. Glad you finally got to enjoy it with the rest of us. 💯
Bro this song is 🔥🔥 🔥. I've heard and seen a lot of other reactions to this song, but the way you break down the lyrics and bars is unmatched.
Thank you for catching the analogy. I think this is the only reaction I’ve seen where the reactor has understood the analogy. You’re so good bro.
We've ALL been waitin for you to get to this track and we're ALL so glad its finally here. #AlgoBoost
I know I’m late af but the fact that you were able to gather all of this on the first listen tells me how good you are at breaking down music. Glad I’m subbed to you for real!! 💪🏼
Finally someone who actually understands the song, knows everything about the artist, this video is worth every minutes. Just have reminded of this song, what a coincidence that this video is new. Earned my respect and subscribed.
This notification made my whole day great🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bro, this was my first time catching one of your reactions. Your analysis of the bars is superb. You catch things most reactors are missing. Got a sub
Can't believe you waited that long to hear this!
I have been waiting so long for you to do this song...
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO REACT TO THIS LETS FREAKING GOOOO
I saw this when I was at work and was just waiting to get home to see it. Love this song, wish it was on Spotify.
Bro, this was such a dope analysis... 😎❤
FINALLY, BEEN WAITING SO LONG :,). THANKS ERNEST
This is the one I’ve been waiting on!!! Not only is this song SUPER creative, I love Russell Westbrook, even though he left my beloved OKC Thunder 😢
man had to do what he had to do for a ship!! if only those three had stayed together...just cant ever seem to be playoff closers smn
@@TheThirdErnest Geez, OKC would be the OG Golden State Warriors if Durant, Westbrook and Hardin had stuck together. OKC is on a rebuild, so our team sucks ass this year 😢. I’m assuming you’re a Spurs fan??
You hit the nail right on the head bro. Being a lil dicky fan is the continuous struggle of rooting for myguy but wanting more music
Amazing 👌🔥 commentary reaction ❣️😊 My favorite Lil Dicky track ,so far, 😁 📝🔥💯
That was a good break down. Another reactor understanding his message. Much appreciated thank you.
Been waiting for this one lol
Awesome reaction as always
So amazing!
Been waiting bro. Glad you finally got to it. Probs his best song. Next to truman probably.
truman is my all time favorite just for sheer length but this is wild...im gonna have a hard time deciding lol
So HYPED!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! This is THE BEST REACTION to this song EVER
Talk about deja vu... yesterday I searched your channel for this reaction... holy crap dude... that’s crazy ‘ish... wow...

Damn your head small son 😂 the tail on that strap long as hell😂😂 all love ❤️
I haven't heard this in a MINUTE, and you got me re-interpreting the whole song.
You're an inspiration bro 🙏
Love this song, great reaction 🖤🔥
Your reactions are unreal. You need to check out some of his other serious songs.. 'bruh' 'how can u sleep' and 'molly'. Would love to see you break it down.
Oh damn you react to this?! Looking forward for the reaction. I ngl listen to this more than the original
haha I will too now...original is fire tho too

FIRST REACTION????????? I coulda sworn you would've reacted to this previously. So good.
Ive had this song on my Soundcloud for years, always come back to it one of my favourite dicky tracks
Bro FINALLLYYY. Been wanting this shit!!
Yo when are you doing TØP again. I just was rewatching your old ones and I want more.
Didn't talk enough about the insane ...ality scheme that went on for ages but great reaction/break down as always! I have never been as impressed by another song in my life - the analogy, flo, rhyme schemes were toooo strong!
man that scheme was crazy and then to end it on finality...CRAZY
Ayyyy lets goooo
Lil Dicky really good at basket ball too. Dude can shoot 3's like crazy. Haven't heard this song in forever, it's so good.
Bout time my guy! Lol I felt the same way when I first heard it. I was like "the fuck? Lil Dickey? Like the corny Save That Money guy?" Wish he put out more real shit like this. Keep it up Ernest
Always loves you Ernest, but today put it over the top. Using my GOAT to draw similarities to my favorite "current" artist. #Lupe🐐
Man I love other Lil Dicky but this song is on a whole bother level. By far my favorite song from him. And it’s inspiring to take that leap and do what makes you happy and what you love
TheThirdErnest: I’ve been missing out for 7-8 years
Me: what the fuck me too 🤔
😂😂😂 shit isn't on iTunes OR Spotify so its like if you know you know type situation lol
