I was considering the alternate punchline of making a bunch of requests for different ShaggyReacts videos. "Do some of his early stuff next, man!'

@@wilander1 It's not today's standards. The Beasties moved away from that kind of "guns and women" style of lyrics after Paul's Boutique so from Check Your Head in 1992 onwards they had become more conscious of what they were putting out lyrically. The 90's alternative scene was full of people being more socially conscious and fighting against entrenched stereotypes. Kurt Cobain, Kathleen Hanna, Kim Gordon and yes even the Beastie Boys were outspoken feminists even if some of their fans didn't like it or want to admit it.

I feel your pain on the pauses. lol

R3 you are so OG. The B Boys started me down such a winding road of hip hop / rap / rock since 86. Such finds as Kool mo D, LL, Rakim, PE,Doug E fresh, and just that north eastern rap emergence. Took lots of heat in HS for being white and just immersing in the art. Thanks for bringing the boys back into the light. Recalibrating my ears from my 80s cassette of license to ill played on my sony walkman with those crappy orange foam headphones to today, the sound just blows my mind.

Mmm...drop and Let me clear my throat, count how many times those two lines have been sampled over the last 30 some years.

This guy is making me pull my arm hairs out...LET IT PLAY!!!!!!!!!

THE last thing I'm gonna say about this... I think the gap in understanding this between the generations is that I don't believe they know what a "Rap BATTLE" is. These kids may have wandered through the livingroom while their parents or grandparents hade 8 Mile playing on tv or whatever, but it's been decades since there was any fighting for anything by making music. I may be wrong. That's why the wicked vulgarity and whips and changes with beats and tempos, and scratching like you're smacking somebody in the face with it. My favorite line of almost any song ever, "I'll steal your hunny like I stole your bike!!" Shamefully, I have actually used that a time or two in real life. Yes, this 5ft tall white girl was not afraid of anybody or anything. I wouldn't have wasted the time of day on their boyfriends anyway, but the people I was fronting didn't need to that. Lol. I've pretty much grown up since then, unless I'm joking around. It's still SO fun to say!

yeah, the biggest problem with reaction videos is the constant pausing, which inhibits their ability to fully get the vibe and pacing of the song. the best reactors watch the whole video straight through and then give their opinions and insights. i especially can't stand when they try to discern or figure out the lyrics on their own instead of just googling the fucking lyrics and having them at hand so they don't need to interrupt the flow of the music.

4 and 3 and 2 and 1. Got lucky and I'm about to catch the premier. I've watched yours and I've seen the one your about to react to. Before it starts I will say SwaggyReacts has some energy. Think he normally feels it. cant wait to see what you say. I like both of you. Respect My reaction to follow. lol Around Check Your Head they found a new path and quit saying most of the sexist, violent and homophobic stuff. The would say things like "I got a 22 karat tooth on my person." Also I've seen them live 7 or 8 times starting in 92 in Miami. I've counted all the dances on all the albums at one point Mike D claims at least 10 dances. I like what you to Triple R. We come form a efferent time this was cutting edge a few years before this it was 3 guys rapping over a live band covering a disco song. This had production, it was funny, the flow the 808. I'm more of a Beasties, PE, Run DMC, LL, T La Roc, I'm Biz was insane etc than I am a Full Force person. They will never understand this Hip Hop before it was an industry and it was just coming out of the dark ages as far as Hip Hop. Keep doing what you do and you funny as hell and you're kind and understand. Great Job!

He goes for the deep cut. Part of his charm is the breakdown. I don't ever feel he is faking it. Life is short be kind do right leave it better tan you fond it. Peace. Bot that 808.

Heres my 2 cents on watching reaction videos....I prefer a short intro to the persons channel and what they will be reacting to.... then if they do stop throughout the video, keep it to like 4 times throughout the video and keep the thoughts reasonably short. And what i really like is when they do stop to comment, they roll back the video about 5 seconds and continue where they left off. A lot of reactors do this but not all of them. Like i said, thats just my personal preference.
