Wife and I Reacting to "Brat" by Charli xcx

I love your reactions!! And especially this one! Charli released "Brat and it's completely different but also still brat" and I think you would both LOVE that album like I do. I know you said you don't like deluxe albums, but this album is almost completely different from the original brat album. I would definitely watch if you do react :)

Can we get an underground hip-hop album moved up the queue? I've recommended Boldy James (Killing Nothing or Across the Tracks) and Roc Marci (Marciology or The Elephant Man's Bones) before but I also think you'd enjoy Freddie Gibbs & Madlib's Bandana as well! Thanks Bob

Hey Bob! Great reaction as always! I loved this album so damn much when i'm not usually a pop guy but Charli has that effect on me. I came in here to shill a few album recs: Foreva Is A Mighty Long Time by Big KRIT - KRIT is a rapper that caught a buzz in the early 2010s along with artists like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Joey Badass, etc. This is his magnum opus and also one of the greatest Southern hip hop albums of all time. I think you'd absolutely adore it. Better Off Dead by Flatbush Zombies - This is a mixtape from the Brooklyn based rap trio Flatbush Zombies. Production is done entirely by one of the members, Erick the Arkitect. This is easily one of, if the THE, greatest mixtape ever recorded. Erick's production is absolutely stunning and all 3 members put in nearly perfect rapping performances. This group is a huge part of the underground and I think you'd love this one as well. If you do end up reacting to this one I recommend listening to the SoundCloud version. This project is on Spotify but a lot of the beats are different and a song or two was cut due to sample clearance issues. Ruffs by Kenny Mason - I don't have much to say about this one. Kenny is one of my favorite rappers and makes a very unique sounding version of Atlanta trap. I'm not sure if you'd enjoy this album to be honest but Kenny has fantastic bars, unique flows, and isn't afraid to experiment with his sound. For a few trial tracks, I recommend Firestarter, US, and Pulp Fiction. Those three tracks shoudl give you a good idea of the type of music Kenny makes and whether or not you'd want to a full reaction to any of his projects.

Yess. Love that you guys reacted to this but I still would love a Billie reaction. that album has been my favorite this year so far. def worth a listen 😄

Vince staples worked with SOPHIE. probably were you had heard of it before.

If you enjoyed this, definitely listen to the remixes and the deluxe tracks!

great reaction. She said she wanted to write the lyrics as if they were text messages with friends gossiping and stuff

B2b is such an ear worm lol still get it stuck in my head

Pop 2 (2017) which is one of her mixtapes is more experimental and strange and is hugely influential for lots of 2020s "hyperpop" and online music as a whole. Brat is a more toned down and commercially oriented album, Pop 2 is like this but even more distilled, very intricate production by A.G. Cook (as well as some by EASYFUN and Sophie)

You probably recognize SOPHIEs name because she produced on Big Fish Theory by Vince Staples

listen to the remixes! they're really, really good and add a lot to the tracks. especially the von dutch and girl, so confusing ones!

So no Billie :/

I am so glad you all enjoyed the album! It's so good. I'm just coming to respond to some of the comments. You mentioned accents in music, and I find that fascinating, too. I don't know Spanish, so I can't comment on that, but I know Arabic. It's interesting because you can totally tell the difference between the dialects of musicians in the Arab world. For example, you can quickly pick out an Egyptian artist when comparing them to a Lebanese artist. It's wild that English-speaking countries have a tendency to go full American. Also, I like that you mentioned her voice! She can definitely sing well, and she's talked about how she doesn't need it, but she just uses autotune and other effects to make her voice sound unique. I loved the reaction, as usual!

I saw somewhere in an interview Charli saying 365 was about going through different rooms in a giant club as the night goes on and the more muted section was supposed to be in the bathroom. You were spot on saying that part sounds like you’re outside of the club.

this album was fantastic so glad u reacted to it with ur wife 💛

you guys should totally react to dua lipa’s new album radical optimism! i think a male and female perspective would be interesting to see!!

Love your reacts with your wifey! my album of the year so far
