Duke Reacts!

One of my favorite songs by The Dan, this one addresses mental health head on. Some very powerful lyrics and imagery in this fan-made music video. But still, we finna check this out on the channel.

Same format as Lil Dicky's "Professional Rapper", he is interviewed by Big Tigger, but they rap the whole thing. Straight bars. This is some next-level stuff, enjoy

Shaq's official freestyle drop featuring some unknown local artists. But none of their verses come close to the former NBA MVP. All hail Shaq Diesel!

Reacting to 42 and Roddy's 2021 anthem 4 DA GANG, featuring a sample of the German band Scorpions of all people. We shouted out 42 Dugg on here last week, so we gonna do one for him. I see you big homie

BET did it big for Big Buss this year and I enjoyed every second. Had to react to the full performance hope they allow us to do it on here. Enjoy

Live performance of Sparks "Amateur Hour" off the Kimono My House album in 1974, from American variety show The Midnight Special. Everyone remembers when they did "This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us" but this is an undiscovered gem of a performance from the same record.

This unannounced feature from Busta Rhymes got me wildin'. It is worth sticking around for, believe me.

One of Busta's best feature verses in the last decade. Featuring an uncredited cameo from Frank Ocean and warm up verse from Odd Future's Hodgy Beats. From 2016.

Armani White - Billie Elish (Legends Mix) Ft. Ludacris, Busta Rhymes & N.O.R.E. Spittin' flames over a Sample of Noreaga's "Nothin'" from 2002.

Reacting to "IShowSpeed Getting Caught In 4K" compilation. Big shout to Speed, nobody makes me laugh harder.

This song is a gem, essentially a duet between Zappa and Tina Turner from the 1973 album Over-Nite Sensation. Tina more or less steals the show with her verse here but Frank also comes in dropping some serious BARS before hip-hop was founded. Enjoy

Won't lie to you I got a little bit of nostalgia for some of these early 2000s club joints. Dudes were rockin' ice, poppin' Cris, and all the other cliches you can think of. It was what it was, this one from 2001.

Bringing you a reaction to the FULL uncensored version of Lil Dicky's Jail from his FX show DAVE, which is killin' it this year in the ratings. Enjoy

Iggy Pop got a message for the youth in this one from 1999, off the Avenue B record. I think the 90s and early 2000s were one of the best creative periods for Iggy, he still at it today. No one is cooler. Back in Brooklyn NY where I've done some of my best work on the channel.

He might not exactly have bars like MGK or Slim Shady, but Tyler definitely has something people connect with.

Interesting MV from Madonna from the fall of 2003 "American Life" was one of her most controversial and least known music videos. But yes, she busted some mean bars over this beat, it comes out of nowhere watch out now.

Fantastic and underrated UK band from the 70s. THE SWEET in this video are Brian Connolly, Steve Priest, Andy Scott and Mick Tucker. Reacting to TEENAGE RAMPAGE off their 1974 debut album. A lost classic

Ludacris the forgotten GOAT of the Atlanta scene, this dude a sleeping giant. In his prime Chris could spit it with anybody and eat MCs for breakfast. This remains his finest work, from the 2001 banger Word Of Mouf

Did not know what I was getting myself into with this track, it's one SAVAGE verse and a hook followed by an extended instrumental section that I thought would lead into another verse but ended up going forever.

Shout to my man Professor of Rock who did the story of Warren Zevon and Werewolves of London last month, dope record from 1978. Got some interesting lyrics here and even a possible cameo from JAY-Z. Enjoy

Classic Janelle Monae joint from the 2010s. She on fire with this whole Electric Lady record. But the important thing is that she got, in one of his last truly great performances, a feature from PRINCE.

With the exception of Alvin Sane nobody goes crazier than the Jewish actor and rock star known as Jack Black. Jables for the WIN in this one, opening the 2011 Kids' Choice Awards with a little ditty called I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas

Reacting to an early music video from the GREAT Canadian power trio Rush. The Vimeo screen capture software froze my computer a few times while doing this reaction, so parts of the audio were lost. We were able to salvage the reaction using the parts that came out clean. This is for all the great Rush fans out there. I've gotten awesome responses from my reactions to other influential 70s arti...

Reacting to an obscure 90s video by a Scottish techno/house band called The Shamen. The complexity and fast-rap delivery of the verses caught me off guard.

We've unearthed a couple gems from one of the godfathers of both Rap and Alternative music. Zappa had a lot to say about the Disco movement of the late 70s. If you want us to do a full reaction to Disco Boy leave a like and let us know in the comments below. Peace
