Duke Reacts!

Busta's "You Don't Really Know" music video from 2015 featuring J Doe leading off. This one of the forgotten ones from the 2010s where he really spazzed tf out.

Mick Jagger called Yungblud one of the new British artists he's most excited about and gives him hope for the future of rock. Mick Jagger has never been wrong.

React to Nick Straker's 1979 record A Walk in the Park, performed on Disco 2000. This was one of the earliest music videos. I sampled this record for my first single recorded for the Mental Health Week project: https://open.spotify.com/track/6cpCh4zRxeq5s7fzUiqLeO?si=4af8084aaedb422b

This is different in tone to the other Duke Reacts episodes. It's a more serious reaction to a music video that hits different today because of mental health. Seether - Fine Again video from their 2002 debut Disclaimer. I always thought their frontman Shaun Morgan is an underrated songwriter from the post-grunge era. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Been waiting to get into this one for awhile. This is among Weird Al's finest works, paying tribute to the legacy and many musical styles of Frank Zappa.    Listen to Alvin Sane on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6mRUc495ldnPXT56pSjAMz  Buy Alvin Sane on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/alvin-sane/1556109981  Follow Alvin Sane on Amazon: https://music.ama...

Reacting to a lost 90s classic from the Smashing Pumpkins - with a vintage charismatic performance from the one and only Billy C.

There is no chill, no off switch, no fs given. That would be how to describe Big Buss as he moves in to absolutely lacerate these verses. With a bonus warm up verse courtesy of Lloyd Banks.

Hilly Michaels is the former drummer for Sparks, I believe on their Big Beat record. Calling All Girls was referenced by Weird Al Yankovic in his 1996 song "I Remember Larry" which I used to love as a kid. But the original was so much crazier. Why does nobody remember this song or insane music video? That's why we here for it, enjoy!   CORRECTION: the chorus lyric is "Got everything that my m...

Lost banger from Buss a Buss off the 2001 classic Genesis, featuring a fire hook and verse from Kelis. Busta and Kelis's verses both caught me so far off guard that it took awhile to recover. Enjoy

The man known as Narduwar is one of my favorite hip-hop journalists of all time. This one ran a bit long for a weekly broadcast, but we here for all of them. Enjoy

This song is celebrating it's 20 year anniversary in 2023 and it still hits just as hard today. This is a BK classic, shout to BlackStar, Talib and Mos. Enjoy

Pretenders frontwoman Chrissie Hynde totally spazzed on the last verse, caught me off guard. Fantastic gem from the UK, mid 1980s, off the album Learning to Crawl (1983) Enjoy!

YOUR OLD DROOG is authentic HIP-HOP, staying true to the authentic soul of NYC rap. Shout to the LES, shout to Sway, shout to YOD. Y'all gotta react to this dude too, he fire.

Another gem from the mid-80s, Julian Cope was a British songwriter with a couple hits, this one hit different today I tell ya.

Iggy spazzed on this one, not only losing his voice but taking aim at a variety of targets. One of Iggy Pop's best performances, 5 minutes of pure punk rock fury. From the 2001 album BEAT 'EM UP. Enjoy

Dah Dah DahDah is the second track on his debut album “Who Is Nardo Wick?” in stores now. The chorus is based on Suzanne Vega's "Toms Diner"

Reacting to Thin Lizzy singer Phil Lynott's solo music video for "Old Town" (1982). Underrated singer and band. This is also on the mental health tip, as Phil was being vulnerable and reaching out for help with these lyrics which I admire. This reaction is dedicated to my friend named Phil who passed last year,

Big Daddy Kane for the WIN! React to Busta Rhymes - Slap (ft. Conway the Machine of Griselda and Big Daddy Kane). Awesome old-school lyricism all around, they all brought it. Busta's verses always catch me off guard, enjoy

Absolute BANGER from Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention's Over-Nite Sensation (1973). This dude got it in, killer hook and guitar solo.

The lead singer of this Canadian band from the 90s bears a striking resemblance to the Doors' Jim Morrison in his looks, swagger, and aggressive lyrics. Let me know in the comments if you see it too, this a gem we unearthed for y'all here today on Duke Reacts! Happy New Year

This would be my favorite version of the artist known as Drizzy Drake. Middle of the Ocean was my favorite track from Drake and 21 Savage's new collaborative album "Her Loss".  (Editor's Note: I filmed this episode In the middle of dental surgery, please be understanding and mindful in the comments. We still got it in for y'all.)

You See Me is my favorite off Donald Glover's 2011 masterpiece Camp. It's debatable how well some of these lyrics have aged, but either way the kid got BARS. Enjoy the reaction and shout to Bino, check out the final season of Atlanta on FX. 

Reacting to the official video of Thin Lizzy's "Waiting for An Alibi" off Black Rose: A Rock Legend (1979).  Thin Lizzy lineup as of 1979: Phil Lynott, bass & lead vocals  Scott Gorham & Gary Moore, guitars and backing vocals Brian Downey, drums. Enjoy!

One of Zappa's more interesting compositions, i guess this was supposed to be his "punk rock" record but he takes it a few other places. Enjoy.
