Need to hear Travis Scott’s “Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight” and definitely “ASTROWORLD”

SuperFuego

I’d believe it lol

Adrian Centeno

(Monster, Beast Mode, 56 Nights) The mixtape Trilogy.

Jay Dog

Damn just saw your add. thoughts. Feels bad man feels bAd lol. I’m still glad u r willing to check out Die For My Bitch. It’s my favorite from him as well, and doesn’t include any Kendrick to take u out of the immersion of Mr. 2Phone. An Interesting anecdote of Baby Keem is that there have been several Reference tracks that have surfaced of Baby Keem sung by none other than his cousin K Dot. Sparking several rumors that range from “Kendrick writes all his stuff” to “Baby Keem is a just a tool for Kendrick to experiment freely” knowing that if he ever did songs like Pink Panties, old heads would say he fell off and his own fan base might even turn on him.

Jay Dog

Facts love live asap would be a good reaction for sure

Adrian Centeno

A$AP Rocky is mad overdue tho any project would be fine

Erick Fraire

Please react to ye by Kanye west it’s only 7 songs and I think you would love it

Zac

Yeah, good point 👍

Bob_the_Poppop

This one comes up a lot

Bob_the_Poppop

All this mud!

Bob_the_Poppop

As someone who says "interesting" every 17 seconds, don't worry about being repetitive :)

Bob_the_Poppop

true, could be that as well

Bob_the_Poppop

I agree. Makaveli too. It's just tough with All eyez since it's a double disc. Basically need a Friday/Saturday free to do those

Bob_the_Poppop

I'm starting to settle into this position as well

Bob_the_Poppop

lol

Bob_the_Poppop

100%

I don’t think you need to fully block out the lyrics. A lot of the times the lyrics are purposefully written to be silly and dumb, either for comedic effect or just to keep the song lighthearted. I think if you just keep in mind that it’s not meant to be deep then you’ll be able more easily vibe with the lyrics for albums like this. People say the lyrics are “bad” if they’re not deep/profound but when Keem says “I’m sexy and blessed”, “I need a girlfriend”, or “my name is not Jeff” he’s not trying to be deep, he’s just joking around. It’s completely intentional.

I always enjoy hearing what you don't like as much as hearing what you do like. It was almost refreshing to hear how much you just don't like booman lol. Also listen to God Don't Make Mistakes by Conway the Machine, some of the songs on there got some great lyrics to tear into and it's got a really good sound as well.

Yarden

Hey man, you said youre ready for some trap, well you should definetly add Culture 3 by Migos and DS2 by Future to your list (ds2 influenced a lot of this gen artists imo).

astrowisha

So if I remember correctly keem said the best for “16” was “stolen” from Kendrick it was supposedly on his computer in the possible beats for his “DAMN” album and when he heard “16” for the first time he really liked it and asked where he got the beat, which keem responded with “from you” and Kendrick doesn’t remember it which makes sense man must have a plethora of beats.

Marco Garcia

love lockdown

j0zart

Sematary reaction! 🙏

mostlycool

you said the drums on scars reminds you of lost in the world, it actually samples a song off 808s that i can’t think of right now

Tristan

this is a great example of why i love these videos. for me, i love this album but feel like it loses focus in the middle with tracks like cocoa and durag activity, and then i really enjoy the last 3 tracks

morgan

Lol never thought id see Bob gettin recommended sum izaya tiji

k

Ds2 - future is a must listen, actual peak trap

Litty Again

Hell yeah

Jay Dog

Bro it hasn’t even been a year

Jay Dog

Hell yeah can’t wait for your additional thoughts. BTW u should listen to the original version of Vent. It’s a blasphemy that they put this version on the album. The og version has a beat switch up and a insane Kendrick verse. I know why they did it given that he recycled that verse for N95, just wish they would have took the song out. Yo idk what people have told you but you’ve definitely listened to a lot of trap so far. If Rodeo or Whole Lotta Red aren’t it then idk what is. Also the mud, lean, Ak, or wok are some of the many words used to describe codine or codine with promethazine.

Jay Dog

I like some of the songs off this album, but regardless of how I feel about some songs, I can still appreciate what Keem was going for. For some of his earliest work, this is pretty out there. and I can definitely appreciate that in an artist, rather than just playing it safe. Also this album is mostly just him which is also not that common nowadays. I see the vision, I see the ideas, I see the experimentation. Which is what makes me appreciate more this album rather than just taking it at face value. Edit: I just realized I said appreciate a ton lol. I'm kinda tired when writing this so please excuse my repetitiveness

Genesis Osuna

on the nosebleeds reference, maybe nosebleed seats like at a game?

Jorge Roman

also, total brag, I got to see Baby Keem perform at coachella, and it was easily the best set and crowd for me all that weekend. It helped that he brought out Kendrick to perform all the songs they collabed on the album. The place went absolutely bananas.

Jorge Campos Jr.

I think this probably the most raw version of an artist you’ve listened to since you were doing early Tyler. This album has a lot of hit and misses, but their is clearly signs of greatness shown by Keem.

Jorge Campos Jr.

Hey, a little reaction suggestion... Steve Lacy just released his album "Gemini Rights". It is only 35 minutes long, I really would like to see you react to it. He has worked with Tyler, Mac, Kendrick and many others... Not sure how to describe his music but it is awesome is all I can say haha.

kezeye

Beast Mode and 56 Nights would make good Monday reactions because they're both short.

Dylan Woods

Please listen to monster by future- best trap mixtape of all time includes codeine crazy and if you wanna talk about finishing an album strong… holy shit codeine crazy is the best album closer I’ve ever heard and it’s not even close

Countingcaskets

Idk why fans of old music don’t want to accept new music or at least have an open mind to it which is why I love Bobs reactions because he always has an open mind. Reminds me of how the art scene probably was when Pollack started splatter painting. Looking at it being like how is this art.Meanwhile the rest of us just enjoying it.

あすなSwag

If u wanted to get out of your head more on the lyrics with artists like Travis scott think of the music as an atmosphere or almost a background on a canvas where the artist is trying to paint a picture with the lyrics. Like with Carti his lyrics aren’t deep in any sense but they are aggressive and violent which pair with the beat creating a violent picture. With Travis his vibe is spacey and his flow is taking the beat in different ways it can’t go on its own. I’ve seen all of your reactions so I know it isn’t easy for you lmao. Which is fine because lyrics are more important when listening to certain artists and I love lyrics just as much as production in music. Excited for channel orange. Keep ‘em comin bob

あすなSwag

Music video for family ties is pretty cool if u wanted to check that out👍

あすなSwag

You've said you want to listen to more Jay-Z - in that regard I think it would be a good idea to do one Hov album monthly now that youre nearly done with Kanye's catalogue.

K.W

You should listen to some izaya tiji and maybe some other artists in that scene or style haven't seen anyone suggest stuff like that other than yeat and like carti obviously. Also ecco2k and nujabes would be cool I know E was in the hunger games thing.

Talen Kataoka

They were in the marble race and lost along with thugga and future. The trap gods were sleeping that day.

CRASH

Bob please react to Culture by Migos!!!!!!!! You said you ready to listen to trap, imo it’s the perfect album in your journey right now. Migos is a trio with amazing trap production with the perfect combination of flow+adlib. It’s a MUST need in your journey right please bob love you 🥹

Stormas

i’d be surprised if he even enjoyed 7 uzi songs

Gunga Pig

We need 2pac all eyez on me man it’s been 7 months since the last 2pac album!!

Jose Garcia

ohhh boy that family ties reaction was good. the first half will grow on you. kendrick is obviously way better than keem, and he’s one of my fav artists ever, but believe it or not i’ve grown to the point where i think the first half with baby keem is better than the second half 🤷🏻‍♂️

jakob

Bob you need to react to Astroworld !

Matt C

Nah this album is just mid lol nothing to do with Kendrick. Die for my bitch is so much better

adiiiiiiiii

Love this album. Banger vid Bob! Cheers!

Rhonnie Bravo

To answer the question at the ending, I personally don't mind the album, but it didn't have an lot of impact or draw that brought me back. I heard it a few times, and was like this is cool, than moved on

sam

Some trap recommendations 21 Savage & Metro Boomin - Savage Mode 2 Pierre Bourne - TLOP4/5 Travis Scott - Astroworld Offset & 21 Savage - Without Warning Lil Uzi Vert - LUV IS RAGE 2

Cullen Hendricks

Mid. I wish Barter 6 or DS2 didn't choke

shaun

BTW Bob, Keem was cool in the scene before people found out his family ties. Once it came out, he started getting a lot of hate because people felt like Kendrick gave him a silver spoon to eat off of. I was bumping his 2019 mixtape heavy, thinking he was dope. I don’t think I found out who he was until 2020 So yeah, ignore the haters. A lot of it is people mad at unearned nepotism but Keem I think has proven himself before and after we found out his relations.

CRASH

I like most of this album but pink panties is straight basura. Wtf is that chorus

CRASH

This album is phenomenally ok

retrocalie

this is probably my fav album from 2021

khaixa

somethings wrong with your ears man

Chris

the last songs are seen as the best on the album, 16 specifically

Chris

One of the most overrated albums in recent times purely bc of Kendrick

Aiden Cleary

What are you hearing? It’s a great album, his best work so far

Lexin 17

whats the time stamp?

pussvulture

bob singing mac miller mid-review is the best timeline

Psykopomp

Trying copying the link and pasting it in a browser. If you have apple try safari

McSwagburgerXL

I wanna like keem but this album is such a big misstep especially coming off two solid tapes. Only thing I go back to is Kendrick on family ties. If anything keem on morale is so much better than anything here. Feels like a waste of a week for Bob, hope you can listen to a short album on sunday or Monday. Dj premier just released a 5 song ep that’s really good, maybe give that a listen?

Mahmood Al Mardi

This album was a sound direction change for him and it was for the worst IMO. His previous 2 and only projects Die For My Bitch & The Sound of Bad Habit have a raw, hard hitting, classic sound to it produced mostly by Cardo that honestly fits Keems style way more then what he tried on this more all over the place experimental album

Tribecalledjoe

Baby Keem's voice is so annoying...

ribeiro dantas

I cannot get sound on my mobile device. Last couple videos have been like that and so are turning the tables who use the same hosting. Anyone else have the issue? Any fixes?

fightnerd

Keem seems like a cool guy, and there’s some neat production on this album. But holy moly this album is trash imo lol. The marble race failed on this one.

Justin F

your reaction truly blue me away 👁️👄👁️

mussalila

I never got the hype with Baby Keem, if I’m being honest..

McSwagburgerXL
