Missed some cracking bars. Smoking a biff of the highest grade, now my head's twisted like a Rasta

That’s just a regular older man cockney accent. So many old guys sound like this england.

These are London O.Gs, lived that life, did the dirt, retired and are now doing this and it is amazing! Love from the U.K

Uk music (rap and grime) is all about bars so we don’t care if a track is 10mins or 20mins long, it’s all about the art of listening to what styles, punchlines and hype the artist can bring. Some are even an hour long and most are done live with a DJ or just in front of a camera with a beat playing. Back in the days all this was on stage in front of 100s to 1000s of people so if you messed up or said a shit bar everyone would cuss you for it lol. To understand grime you have to go BAAACK

@@BradAndLex much love to both yous 👊🏾 just remember before going into this, just like American rap, grime started/came from the sound system battles waaaaay back in the day where a DJs would showcase his talents on the decks while an MC would do the same on the mic. The aim was to either hype the crowd or kill the other MC with bars. (If the producer or MC killed it the DJ would “pull-up” or “reload” the instrumental which made the crowds go crazzzzy! (Some songs are banned because they’d make people so hype gunshots would go off or fights would start) the slang you hear in the music are basically just Jamaican and African words mixed with normal English.

They are better than 99% of artist out there, it is both their voices and them writing, lots of media out there to hear them speak.

You need to understand, these are true OG gangsters from the U.K.. Pete, the shorter one, was actually muscle for the mob. These OGs are the real deal. They could still make someone disappear.

@angelogandolfo4174

They probably still DO; not just COULD. Like you said, they’ve been muscle, enforcers, debt collectors, etc, for the mob, for real. And, maybe scariest of all, they were the “Go To” guys for a number of serious gangland bigwigs and the mob. And “Go To” guys have that title for a reason. You go them when a problem needs ‘fixing’, and you can’t get anyone else who’s guaranteed to do the job properly. And I don’t need to spell out what kind of ‘jobs’ we’re talking about. But it wasn’t fixing a leaking tap (faucet). I’ll leave it there.... For anyone interested in finding out more, one of the most infamous and “successful” fixers/ “Go To” guys, going right back to the 60s’, was London gangster Freddie Foreman. There are tons of documentaries and stuff that mention him, on KZread. Worth a look. It is fascinating. Finally, This is not idle, “make a quick buck using the ‘novelty’ aspect of being older guys rapping”. Having dug a bit, they were properly mobbed-up. Wow.... nice find......

Pronunciation and not mumbling words so the references and the words making sentences flow in a nice descriptive matter, a thing that is often lost in rap because a trend of wanting to do it as fast as possible. Theres is not stress and they are actually telling you something so you try to listen to the lyrics in a way you wouldn't do in a song where content is repetitive or not original. I think the shorter one said something in a interview about his accent helping him in a weird way.

Listen these guys have been doing bits for awhile

IMHO, if you started this with your eyes closed then opened them 1/2 way, you'd be shocked. Watching these old geezers rap actually detracts from what they are doing (due to the shock value and juxtaposition of the rap and the age). Not really my thing but kinda cool.

Definitely their voices, you'll find a lot of old London boys sound like this

These guys are legit... and they write there own bars from what I've heard.

Pete and Bas are the mutt's nut's! Keep em coming! Gravely and deeply smooth voices They're the real deal, big following here in the UK

It's how we talk in London! 🔥💪🏾

When u gona do the Pete and bas - old estate

People in disbelief proves how great they are

Bas had no right to ride the beat like that on his second verse!! Mans was going IN!

Quit hating, they absolutely went bananas on this beat.

They're not tuned up theres hardly any mixing on the vocals besides just making the audio clean

Lexs London Cockney accent made me fall in love. These 2 Eastenders genuinely sound like this. They did it for a bet with their Granddaughter and did well.

This was amazing

I really encourage you to listen to their other music. Age aside, they're actually dope 💯

taller dude is over here sounding a little like pop smoke lol

They have fairly standard voices for their age and location

How can you listen to Bas' insane flow and not acknowledge it my man???

They are well seasoned Veteran Rappers. Because Pete and Bas are musical friends, their history was hard and through the hardship they express their experiences through music 🎶🎶. They got today's slangs from their grand children in fact their grand children introduced them to Rap. They just amplified it with Cockney accent and a hint of Gangster life.

You need to check out some of their other tracks like Speeding, The Old Manor etc. They channelling the old English gangster vibe - see films like The Gentleman, Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrells, Snatch.
