This beat is crazy, sounds like a cold winter night
The cover art helps that feeling
it's from a uk producer as well.
It’s a UK drill beat
a lot of uk producers can make seasonal beats very well. e.g steel banglez is great for summer instrumentals
the video helps that feeling too
This is UK Drill, not grime guys. And yes he’s smashing this track
Grayson Pohio Big Facts
@@g2dap982 This style is 100% UK drill though. There's an unmistakable stylistic difference
a genre of popular music influenced by UK garage, typically characterized by a minimal, prominent rhythm, a very low-pitched bassline, and vocals by an MC.
It’s more of a toronto slang, lots of toronto references. UK slang slightly different
Ikr, but I think they think it’s grime because of the synth type part of the beat
from UK. I think its half and half to be honest. half think hes a culture vulture, the other half think hes bringing light to the sound. Me personally i watched the interview with Rap radar, regardless of what sound he hops on he respects the culture, he doesn't just bite the sound then leave. I like Drake, i feel like he is a versatile artist and to be honest he has enough money, he will always be relevant, so from my point of view there is no point of biting sounds for relevancy so he must be just doing it from a musical stand point, trying out new things. just my take.
I think you've hit the nail on the head here. I think he killed this, can't expect him to do drill as raw as the young people in the UK, but as far as someone like Drake doing it, fire.
Keem. 100 percent bro. Bare man just wanna talk shit about everything. He put UK on the map in the US. With all the features and love he shows, and bringing out our artists on tour.
Dope take man....👌🏽.
Your trying your hardest to make him look good no matter how bad he is. Cmon now.
He said it and that rap radar interview was extremely good I recommend it but yeah . If anybody finds lies in what he says put it here with proof. I don’t follow where he stays and helps but I do know when he was doing that Uk drill he did put people from that scene on his more life tape
This is one of the few channels that actually give Drake props for his craft. Most people crucify him for the rumors of ghost writing and fail to see how nice and slick he is with his bars and rhymes. I’m just saying if he got caught with the ghost writer and everybody know who he is, why is still the most important rapper and artist of the last decade.
Ulises Flores facts what a time it has been.
He's not important and he's only "relevant" because most of his fans aren't true hip hop heads.

@@sk8rjasonlemme tell you one thing bro "true hiphop heads" don't care about if someone else wrote your bars, if it slaps we gon' listen
This is UK Drill guys, not Grime...
Sentient D1Ld0 what’s the difference 🤔
What's the difference? I would like to know too🤔🤗
@@kingspeech2240 grime is 140 bpm (typically) drill has much more varied bpm and typically has a heavy bass behind it and other aspects too, not a musician or anything but from a fans knowledge that's all I can give you. Edit. If you want a comparison of the two listen to Dave - 100Ms (grime) and then listen to Dave - paper cuts (drill) two different types of songs completely by the same artist (shows the range in Dave as well)
@@kingspeech2240 completely different genres..Grime is usually much faster, 140bpm, and developed from UK Garage and Ragga/Dancehall style of MCing. Drill came from Chicago but UK version evolved over time into something different style and sound wise. Violent themes are still there, but flows and beats are very non American. This song is, sound wise, a very good representation of UK Drill, but lyrics should be much more violent. Flow is very similar to UK Drill legend Headie One, so you can check him out if you're interested. For Grime you can check Wiley, who is one of the originators of the genre. I could go on but this will get you started if you're interested. ✌️
@UCPl9VP8cz_EiZELxfg-koVA true...I do follow Drill from all over and I like NY Drill scene, plus they work with a lot of UK producers. People often think that Grime is just a name for UK Rap, not knowing that it's its own genre so I try to inform when I can.
George saying, "this kinda hot, this kinda hot..." towards the end is exactly why I'm subbed to this channel. We all know George is an elitist with hip-hop and lyricism lol but he's willing to admit when something is dope. When it's dope it's dope
he is willing to admit drake is 1 of 1 type of artist to ever live. the greatest ever
Facts he is a true Rap purist but he’s always willing to enjoy new stuff
@@dashinazarov Period. There will never be another Drake.
Darius Dash You’re gonna get a swarm of Drake haters on that comment lol
@@klnvv I'm expecting it lol. It never fails.
Drake is top tier, he’s not even promoting his drops anymore 😩. He’s the 🐐
Far from it.
That's funny
Y’all just gonna excuse the fact that he did 9 million over night, then took the video down re uploaded it and did another 4 plus million the second time lol come on bruh 😂 go get you some money lol
@@corydick324 Popularity dosen't mean something is good, look at all the shit mumble rappers recently... Probably got more money than you... lol
Again, go get you some money lol.. this the last one of you fools I’m replying to 😂. Being the goat is more than money, he’s calculated, everything he’s dropping UN-ANNOUNCED is doing millionssss in hours. Stays at the top of the charts for months at a time, been top tier for 10+ years 😩. Bye child 👋🏽
" Steppin' outta line, get outlined. " I'm kinda surprised they didn't mention this bar.
glmnk my favorite part
My fav part also.
You lot need to listen to UK drill if you like this.

Headie one, harlem spartans, 67
Or regular Drill you know from Chicago #ThisChicagoNicca
K trap, Digga d
@@vincemcgraw3826 nah cuz u man fell off we on rn #ThisLondonG
The uk influence on Canada is big! Massive connection with the West Indes and the Caribbean in immigration so they slang is very similar in the uk and Canada. This beat is a massive drill vibe big in the uk at the moment. The boy got the connections and showing variety !!! Great reaction guys !!!!
West indies influence on the UK and canada is big*
Kyle O rourke It is Jamaican influence in both area
@@Immortalizes Glad you corrected it for em
X Campbell and african
I was just going to say the same thing
It’s a UK flow but everything he’s saying is about Toronto.
I like how drake tries his hand in everything. So versatile man👌
J LOCKZ I think you meant his ghost writer tries his hand in everything.
Metal Fingers exactly, he doesn’t write all of his verses and that’s tuff but I can’t deny his flow is always different and on point
@@lunartanginamo333 Prove it then. Ever since Meek yall just act like every single line is ghost written

If there was one word I would have for Drake it’s consistent.
Unstoppable 🦉
This is more of a uk drill beat/flow than grime guys, you should check out some uk drill, it has alot of the same rudeness that the chicago drill has plus really clever writing, the wordplay in alot of the song is really good, here are some suggestions: KO - Mad about bars CB - Mad about bars OFB - ambush (uncensored) OFB - Next up 1011 - play for the pagans
J K mostly yes... Chicago still Got sum heavy bars in some of dey songs
J K for sure bro, glad They doing Their own thing
Or 1011- next up part 1&2

Drake might not ever be rightfully credited for getting behind or championing a LOT of waves before they took off in mainstream hip hop. He’s responsible for highlighting of a ton of acts and scenes this decade.
From uk, he actually did decent tbf to him and majority of us love him doing it so the UK gets more light.

Definetly!

We need this one!
Yesssss King Los LA. Y'all have toooooooo pleaseeee
They did it already
Dope vid, the producer is AXL 17/18 year old drill producer from the UK. The beat is hard and drake’s always gonna spit regardless. You guys should check out God’s Eye by Dave
I'm from the uk and this was impeccable, you know what's better? He even put our grim on the map again . Whatever he touch, turns gold.
If ur from the UK and you think its UK grime then I question if ur really from uk
When he said “man went PC”, he talking about mayhem morearty, a Toronto rapper who got pinched for armed robbery and then snitched and went PC. This whole track is Toronto references... “pressa” “wassa” “chromaz” “gg” “teesdale” etc etc . You guys need to be in tune with toronto scene to get most of it. can you guys react to Toronto drill rap?
golaji Toronto drills deaddd thoo
great comment.
Can u explain what everything means please
Lmao i thought he was talking about 69
Thanks for this
I have routinely started liking y'all videos before even watching it. I know the quality of what's forthcoming before the experience. Continued good work in the new year fellas.
You are right Drake's intention is to bring exposure to the UK scene & the flow he borrowed or incorporated was a UK Drill flow not Grime lol Grime is completely another genre all together way way faster imagine old Busta, We have UK Rap, Grime, UK Drill etc.. different genres, some artists here can do both Grime & Rap but a select few recent artists make UK Drill, but yh completely different sound to Grime, Digga D, Headie one are a few to name who make UK Drill, Although in Canada there is a lot of similarities to the UK in terms of culture & slang, but the distinctive words he uses in this particular song are UK lingo even my Toronto friends agree, he should of featured a UK Drill artist on the song would of been dope, Good reaction as always my brothers.
I'm an American, but I was thinking the same. And please correct me where I'm off. Different speeds and cadences between grime and drill. Also, I've always felt that drill had a harder street edge to it. Grime seems to be more about the pattern and cadence of the verse over the track, and less rough. I've even heard some grime artists talking more about women than the streets. I did catch Drake using UK hood slang. From what I've heard on UK tracks, and face timing with my guys in West London, there is almost a Jamaican touch to y'all slang. "ting" or "man dem" "wah gwan" "batty/batty boy" are the more common ones I hear in conversation with them. I keep waiting for one to scream WHAT THA BLOODCLAT?! 😂😂😂 In high school it was mainly 90s East Coast artists for us (Rakim, Nas, Gangstarr, Jeru) but, we rocked with alot of Reggae/Reggaeton (Buju Banton, Sizzla, Capleton, etc) so I already know what a lot of it means. Haha but sometimes I have no clue what my dude be saying. Mad heavy accent on him. He's gotta break me off some knowledge. My man was talkin about corn and teeth out da ting, and I think he said "mismatched" before I finally asked tf he was talkin about. Then he made the trigger gesture with his finger and I got it. From what i gather y'all gotta be extra careful with what you say. Yall can be brought up on charges, yeah? Anyways, i remembered Lennox Lewis would scream jamaican gangster slang when he'd win. I was always curious where that influence came from. Just picked up from the old yardy's?
His intention is to give more exposure and then take 100% credit for creating and making UK Drill, the damn culture vulture
@@Aphexia bruh! another cat told me to check out the joint he did with Dave. After I listened to it I said I'd have liked it better without Drake. Back in the day when Lennox Lewis would be interviewed after a win he'd always get into his Rude Boy Yardy mode at the end. We listened to a lot of reggae/reggaeton (Buju, Sizzla, Capleton, etc) along with East Coast artists like Rakim, Nas, and KRS-1/BDP. They had an artist called Mad Lion with them and he had a reggaeton vibe as did KRS-1 sometimes. Listening to more UK Drill and Grime I noticed a lot of common slang with Jamaican artists. I was telling the dude that something about Drake always bothered me. Like, I just don't buy it. Something not natural or genuine about dude. Then I heard that song and saw the lyrics, and the whole thing clicked! He was using yall slang but it felt way tf off coming from him. I could never quite put my finger on what I didnt like about him until just now. You nailed it. Dude trying to rebrand yall sound. I bet when he went over there for that weak ass FITB he did, he was peeping game. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Ano Nymous just cause he’s a culture vulture, he tries to “adapt” by latching onto other popping artists used his name to so called “elevate” them while staying relevant and just piggy backing off them, it’s cheap, instead of reinventing himself or just putting out the same sound to appeal to his target audience he just steals others and takes credit and no one can’t say shit cause he’s one of the biggest rappers atm
@@Aphexia I only really listen to UK rap so I can only talk about how Drake affected the UK scene and in my opinion, Drake really helped the UK scene grow by featuring OG UK artists such as skepta and giggs on his songs, bringing out some UK rappers to his shows like J.HUS, coming out to some UK rappers shows like Section Boyz, freestyled on UK platforms like link up tv, etc. He even helped fund the newest season of the UK show Top Boy which is huge. He didn't need to do any of these things, but he did and it defiently elevated the scene. To say that he just piggy backed off our culture is just not true imo, but I can only speak for the UK.
love that you guys hopped on this; always happy that you guys always don't miss anything and go in unbiased-can always trust to be an honest and analytical review from y'all thanks; songs definitely fire too lol Saw a lot of people didn't like how it wasn't a 'drake' sound but I think it people aren't willing to be open to different culture's music, cool to see drake still putting out at this level this consistently-even if he wasn't we'd always have his old shit but this is really fascinating to see how he's adapted and survived over the years with music
This is facts
Yous the only ones to catch them bars, this song went over everyone's head🙌🙌🙌🙌
The chemistry between you two is great,and I also like the way you guys breakdown the lines in the songs you guys review.
This is more a UK Drill beat and UK Drill flow which imo is better than the type of drill we have here in America for ex. Tracks like: 1011-No hook Digga D-Imagine Also drake killed it
Mk_Chicken UK Drill is so dope. Makes you not even want to listen to what we have in the States.
Etienne T. Chicago drill forever runs shit. Can’t forget where it started.
Everything they said about him being slick is the reason why he’s been around so long and is still at the top
PS woyoii Is a JAMAICAN phrase created by Popcaan which is signed to his ovo label also. Drake frequents Jamaica a lot which is obviously why he’s so in sync with the lingo (patois). The GAZA strip is in portmore Jamaica which is Vybz Kartels block. Another Jamaican artist he’s a huge fan of. Who’s also the one who put Popcaan on the scene. This is more like a mix of Canadian rap and UK drill. Cause Canadian rap is mixed with a lot of Jamaican lingo.
Thank you so much for this reaction.
Drake is really the only artist out there that can switch his accent every album and bite people’s flow and get away with it. He’s a marketing genius I give Drake props he has a lot of good hits.
That reaction @ around 9:30 is exactly how i was when i first heard it. The flow/cadence on this record is legendary
Was waiting for this reaction 🔥🔥
Cool Basquit shirt. And love your channel. Because of you guys, I am a free thinker. Used to hate rap (or so I thought), but because you guys were so open minded and cool as hell about metal and rock, I started watching your rap reviews like this Drake review WITH AN OPEN MIND and have come to appreciate rap for not only being music, but also art. I get it now. Thanks for opening my mind and not being biased. All music is cool. And like Basquit, you just have to be open to things and let the art form move you no matter the container it comes in. Keep up the good work fellas.
He mentions characters in the Netflix serious “ Top Boy “ which he produced. Great show !
I hope Drake never stops making songs. Shits always getting better and better. I'm always worried I'm gonna be disappointed and he's gonna stop producing fire, but everything new he pushes out is solid af still

Hey fellas I just recently stumbled on your review of Man In the Box and man I have been on a massive binge of your videos, they are 🔥. Keep doing what y’all are doing!
U.K Drill evolved in to it's own genre although at first it was influenced by Chicago Drill carrying over the same graphic language & subject matter, but later it evolved in to something completely different. Some of these artists have unique distinctive flows, some have crazy wordplay & barz artists such as Digga D and K.O .. but a lot have U.K lingo & U.K references so many people from overseas don't fully understand them & can't relate, the beats the whole sound, everything is way different. I think people get caught up with the name having "Drill" in it so associate it with Chicago Drill but in actuality it is completely different. From U.K Drill it influenced Drill from all over the world, Irish Drill, Australian Drill, German Drill & many new American Drill artists from New York use these type of beats & have the same flows, check out American artist "Sheff G" there's many many more.
Junier Hussein Uk drill was not influenced by Chicago drill, it’s called drill cause of the subject matter, nothing to do with Chicago
@@tabssmusic5799 Nope, you are incorrect completely untrue, a lot of misinformation, ask the artists themselves who first started making drill they themselves said they was influenced by Chicago Drill artists such as chief keef, lil Durk etc..
I mean tbh I don’t
Junier Hussein but tbh I don’t doubt that there is some influence being honest but all I’m saying is Uk drill is in a whole different lane
@@tabssmusic5799 Eti Sen? My bro you are 18 you wasn't outside through all the transitions of the music scene, from ragga/jungle to garage to grime to UK Rap to UK Drill, when the first Chicago artists popped off they was young a lot of people worldwide got influenced by them, you said to the person above no influence from Chicago but subject matter, that is exactly what influence is, you are not qualified to speak on things you have no idea about.

Y’all the kings of this music reaction shit💯
We needed this song man
The only KZhead notification I didn't get pissed off at today.
Hoping this serves as a fresh perspective. I'm a South African that listens to rap from across the world. This is definitely a UK Drill type song (and this beat is arguably the softest UK Drill beat I've ever heard) and honestly, Drake just understands the culture and uses his knowledge of patois and UK street slang to his advantage. Some say he steals the flow on this song from Headie One (arguably the most marketable and well known UK Drill artist out right now), but to me it's not a steal, but there's definitely inspiration there. All this being said, Drake has released a UK Drill freestyle on a UK platform before... He did a "Behind Bars" on Link Up TV and afterwards did a Fire In The Booth in the time he was over in London to shoot the music video for "Nonstop", and this was when his beef with Pusha T was reaching the pinnacle, because in the Behind Bars there are shots at Pusha and Kanye. All in all though, it was a really good first released attempt at Drill, with Giggs being the catalyst in the move (the same Giggs that featured on More Life, not Skepta as you guys mentioned)... In summary, I rock with this song heavily, not just for the content, but the context as well, stylisticly and artistically 🙌🏻
Love how UK got a distinct vibe and style. Pure bars and the beats always have a smooth, organized groove
Loving the outtakes 😂

First off, I love Lost I’m Vegas, but like y’all say, I have to keep it real. I really wish y’all would do more Hip Hop/Rap. Freddie Gibbs album had some bangers, and you didn’t even touch it. I know you guys are expanding you audience, but don’t forget the root of your channel. We really alway enjoy your viewpoints on the culture.
Yosheeyaw Bogan yeah I agree with you. I respect the direction they’re going in but I do wish the variety of genres was balanced more.
That's prob the best hip hop album of the year and they didn't even think to touch it. It's a bad look.

A point to note is that as much as there can be reward from borrowing from multiple genres of music and cultures, there can be equal risk with regard to an artist's perception. The importance of how you're perceived being able to make and/or break an artist's career in this age of media
