Can we all just take a second to acknowledge that Shaq is literally less than 1K subs away from 3 quarters of a million! In literally no time went from under 100 thousand subs reacting solely to UK music, and now pretty much the king of reaction vids!! Love the content, keep up the great work! Also, I am neither a UK or American fan lol, I'm a Canadian fan, much love from Toronto!
He acc impressed me bare but still missed a couple (like women that he curves (curves on the body asw)) and a couple others but overall defo the best out of all these Americans
I like the 3 G's/Alvarez one because it has so many different meanings. 3 G's in the ring like £3000 on the ring, 3 G's like 3 guys or boys in the ring/circle, and the ring part ties to the boxing bit with Alvarez and GGG. He's talented as fuck and such a seemingly simple bar means so many different things
"I don't know Clarke but I know that I'm a kidult" is SO UNDERRATED There's a British indie film about growing up in the ends in London called Kidulthood written and directed by Noel Clarke. Straight BARS 🔥
@@fredericandre9034 dunno about you but I like to see the first reactions though, he should do My 19th Birthday instead. Similar sort of song by Dave that he might not of heard before
"Happy for a minute and then I'm sad again" people thought about the beat throughout the song how its slower and more depressing then it picks up and the lyrics change and hes a bit more happy wanting to "take a pretty woman for a test drive" but then the flow slows and the lyrics change to him talking about depression.. madness how deep the lyrics go with this song its mad, this whole album should be reviewed and u could listen to it 100 times and probably still pick something up u never realised after ur first listen
@@oxtraval2755 wrong u might be right with it starting as pop boy but i dont think so cos top boy was released in 2011 so that cant be it.. the continued netflix version released in 2019
Top boy is basically someone who is at the top of their scene, whether it’s drugs or music etc. So he’s basically saying that he’s the best at his scene and isn’t going to let anyone take over..pure genius
'It's like I'm happy for a second then I'm sad again' If you've experienced it you know how deep that is!!👏 DAVE is one off if not the realist rapper alive!!
WOW so many bars! can't believe this reaction got so little views. They are missing out ! I'm so glad i did check this out! Never heard this song from Dave. This song made me a fan of him!
Around 10:30 when Dave says "I'm a top boy and I ain't giving mana turn" its referencing his upcoming appearance in season 3 of Top Boy; a British Netflix fictional show showcasing hood struggles my g
I only just found ur channel but I respect how you get the lyrics, most of the American yours on here the bars go straight over their head but I can tell you actually rate it. Thank you, blessings from the UK
That salt/pepper bar is the hardest one of the year. God damn. Dave is so fucking great. Shaq you need to break down "Lesley" soon man. That's a classic too.
Shaq that bar you didnt quite catch " im a top boy " refers to him being in the new season of top boy. The whole album is a masterpiece imo. That and made in the manor by kano are the best 2 albums of all time imo. Btw kanos new stuff * trouble * and * class of deja* are unreal
“My currency is Kenyan it’s in it for the long run.” He means like his money in not in it for a short time like he is gonna have the P’s forever or suttin because Kenyans can run forever 😂😂
This song is so crazy to me. It means a lot cause I am fighting with suicidal thoughts. I’ve had them before but this time I made reservations to actually do it. Did a lot of research and his lyrics are so real. Forcing myself to sleep cause I don’t wanna be awake.
@No Life Shaq At 6:57 he made a reference to a film. “I don’t know Clarke but I know that I’m a Kidult”. The play on words is “know Clarke”. As in Noel Clarke - a British actor who wrote and starred in the film “Kidulthood”. At 7:05 where he says “Furthermore I should bring that bitch down to Streatham (pronounced “Stret-tum”), then make her spend a day in the Vale/veil like a widow.” “Vale” is in reference to an area of Streatham known as Streatham Vale. And of course you already clocked the wordplay with “veil” in the video.
The top boy bar is referring to the series top boy that he was in. He said I’m a top boy, I’m not giving man a turn means that no one f him up he the only one doing the f ing
Bruh I just now seen u you got near enough 750k subs shit crazy bruh I been around since the sport reactions and your first introduction to British rap I just wanted to say how happy and proud of u I am my nigga real shit u deserve all this bruh fr
Man, Shaq. Dam. Thank you for this reaction. I think this is the best UK rap i have heard. It's thanks to you. They better not ban. They oughta be paying you. Im gonna comment till you know who i am man. Have a great day brotha! Peace be with you.
It’s so nice to see other people appreciating this album as it should be appreciated. Absolutely incredible piece of work from start to finish. If you haven’t heard the album listen to it now. Incredible album which takes you on a journey
Omg thank fck you released this!! He’s got some bangers listen to tequila, Lesley, screwface capital, JKYL + HYD, HANGMAN, How I met my ex, picture me. You know what listen to the mans whole catalogue he’s a hit machine.

Mike Math I agree!!!!
And all he had to do was start reacting to Eminem 🤣
Yo Mike I’m from Toronto too. Shaq is the king reactor of the North. On the way to 1 million subs. Letz git it.
@@36chambers.jake.87 YeSsiR..Dats all he had 2 do and DatsTuFF-
American and Canadian reactors and rappers have helped spotlight UK rap on a planet level.. mad love and respect for pushing it.
Dave - Lesley. A brilliant storytelling song, and there aren't enough reactions on RUclips
Was just about to suggest this 👍
I've listened to it so much. I love it.
And drama
Lesley for sure.
I was just about to say this as well ❤
Shaq catching more bars than some of these UK reaction channels 😂😂😂
K Dot how is the London accent hard to understand
Sparkled Flyer I know right 😂
He acc impressed me bare but still missed a couple (like women that he curves (curves on the body asw)) and a couple others but overall defo the best out of all these Americans
That’s why I like him
FAM i didnt even catch the reference to how i met my ex oh my
The fact that Shaq can even understand the bars that are directed towards the UK crowd is mad
that's one of the many reasons why I like Shaq, man catches the UK bars
He catches stuff even people from here might miss, I didn't catch that Kenyan bar until he explained it
SCREWFACE CAPITAL BY DAVE NEXT PROFESSOR!
This one needs to be done
It’s alright, I’d go location before tho
@@BigDaddy0Kev So many bars in scruface capital tho
I was thinking to comment this the whole video...thankyou
One of his most underrated songs
'He's gonna be the best when it's all said and done'.
Big FACTS.
I KEEP TELLING PPL MAN
Yup
he really got it right
This aged really well
"My bros are blacksmiths like Jaden and Willow" Best line ever!!
Bar of the last few years for me.

How have i only just caught that bar lol

Yes coach ! Keep up the UK reactions
More Dave reactions the guy is bar after bar. UK lyricist.
Nice ST 🤙🏼
Fire
Dave is a lyrical genius for real
Yessss please do either Lesley or Screwface Capital by Dave next!!
Another UK reaction, Shaq back to his best 🔥 keep bringing it fam love from the UK
You need to visit the UK we would live to meet you , the only reactions I watch are from you , I must be your oldest fan
Suicide won’t stop the pain, you’re only moving it. That’s such a STRONG line. Thanks for continuing to react to the best of the UK. Big fan.

Dave - how i met my ex!! The most Beautiful thing i've ever heard
Frederic André we neeeeed this
Didnt he say in this that there was a reference to that song in a bar? So he must of heard it right?
@@ldargjohnson315 but still Wanna hear his opinion tho cuz i cant find a reaction

Mannnn this song gives me GOOSEBUMPSS. So many hard bars, and he’s spitting straight FAXXX! That part about suicide... ooofffff
What a rapper
"Happy for a minute and then I'm sad again" people thought about the beat throughout the song how its slower and more depressing then it picks up and the lyrics change and hes a bit more happy wanting to "take a pretty woman for a test drive" but then the flow slows and the lyrics change to him talking about depression.. madness how deep the lyrics go with this song its mad, this whole album should be reviewed and u could listen to it 100 times and probably still pick something up u never realised after ur first listen
I thought that exact thing
9:27 is literally everyone’s reaction on that beat switch 🔥🔥
When he says “I’m top boy I ain’t giving man a turn” he’s relating to a series on Netflix he stars in, the series is called Top Boy
Suicide don’t stop the pain ! It just moves it....that is the hardest bar I have ever heard period
“How do you do all this in 4 minutes?!”
Sums dave up pretty well.. Great reaction once again!
It wasn’t “pop boy” it’s “top boy” which is reference to top boy series 🙏🏼
The lyric was originally “pop boy” until top boy got released then he started singing “top boy”
@@oxtraval2755 wrong u might be right with it starting as pop boy but i dont think so cos top boy was released in 2011 so that cant be it.. the continued netflix version released in 2019

@@oxtraval2755 true but it was still W huge thing for him to reference you know

“I saw one dude that ran for almost 3 hours.” 😂
“Dats Tuff”!!!

i lost my shit when he said that😂😂😂
Bro this man is better than 90% of the people you react to you need to do more from this new album bro. Great reaction keep it coming man
Nathan Burns 100% *
Top boy is basically someone who is at the top of their scene, whether it’s drugs or music etc. So he’s basically saying that he’s the best at his scene and isn’t going to let anyone take over..pure genius

If you've experienced it you know how deep that is!!👏 DAVE is one off if not the realist rapper alive!!
You guys need to be spreading Dave over in the states man... his lyrically a genius
From the states. Dave got barssssss
That bar "in the vale like a widow" is referencing Streatham vale
And then obviously a veil as well
And the vale in game of thrones bro
Could be ville too, his neighborhood basically
@@r.i.psteez929I see how you could think that but ville isn’t really a word used over here so I doubt it means that

This one of my favourite songs, as soon as I heard it. 10/10 song, 10/10 reaction.
This one of my favorite songs and this nigga picking up bars I haven’t been able to pick up in 4 years of listening to it
Shaq that bar you didnt quite catch " im a top boy " refers to him being in the new season of top boy. The whole album is a masterpiece imo. That and made in the manor by kano are the best 2 albums of all time imo. Btw kanos new stuff * trouble * and * class of deja* are unreal
Congrats on 750k I remember when Eminem released kamikaze and I started watching you, tuned in every day since
Love how you break down these lyrics bruh!!! Can tell you appreciate true bars.
ive listened to this song possibly everyday multiple times and got all the references but the vogue one i literally just copped hahah
Also, i know its long but Lesley is a great track off that album... unreal story to it.
made me cry tbh
“My currency is Kenyan it’s in it for the long run.” He means like his money in not in it for a short time like he is gonna have the P’s forever or suttin because Kenyans can run forever 😂😂
Who doesnt know this by heart already... I blast this album so much, just cant shake his music g
Yes shaq!! That's what I've been waiting to hear! Miss the uk days 🇬🇧🇬🇧
6:25 I just noticed currency derives from the latin word currere, which means running. dave is different lyrically
Basically watch every reaction and this is the best one yet with the most in depth break down you have done..kudos
My guy can’t lie I only subbed for the uk side but all your reactions put a smile on my face bro thank u
This song is so crazy to me. It means a lot cause I am fighting with suicidal thoughts. I’ve had them before but this time I made reservations to actually do it. Did a lot of research and his lyrics are so real. Forcing myself to sleep cause I don’t wanna be awake.
So glad you did this reaction brother & big up for pushing your UK reactions out g, your Uk fans love them, big up from manny, peace g ❤️
When he says “ my money is in Kenyan that’s init for the long run” he’s saying that his money is not gunna run out and is gunna keep coming in
straight fire! im glad i always come to check out to see if shaq reacted to an artist i just discovered.. song is hardd

Dave dropped a video for location its lit coach let's get it
Love the flow and the message...UK in the house...thanks for the reaction and for the insight!!!1

Love your reactions and how you catch everything. Even if you don’t know the meaning you catch on that it means something. New subscriber.
About time!!! I've been waiting for YOUUUU to do this
For those who dont understand the veil bar, theres a place called Streatham Vale, Veil=Vale
You are such a kind man...if there's anything you can be in this world, it's to be kind 💕
Shaq should be a private investigator. Mans catching all the bars and breaking them down
Respect Shaq always catching the complex bars that fly over my head and you break it down, and its nice to see someone respecting real lyricists 🙏🏼

Shaq We can tell how much you enjoy listening to Dave, you should defo review a few more tracks from this album
U are amazing ur the only channel that caught just about every bar except lost in vegas
Dave said “Top Boy” which was the bar you were tryna catch, because he played in a netflix series called top boy
OMG!.😱 ... Just got to the ending and TBH I've BEEN waiting & praying that u get back on the UK scene! 🤗
been waiting for some more Dave reactions lets go bro
10:45 he was referring to the show he was featured on “Top Boy”
“Ima pop boy and I ain’t givin man a turn” pretty that was a bar relating to that bop-it toy people used to play with at parties.
That bar about his currency being Kenyan that's for a long run , like how Kenyans have top runners in the world
It’s so nice to see other people appreciating this album as it should be appreciated. Absolutely incredible piece of work from start to finish. If you haven’t heard the album listen to it now. Incredible album which takes you on a journey
