I know I've threatened to do this a bunch of times but this time it's real!

Gonna do a quick-ish Q+A vid just for Patreon, and hopefully figure out with you guys how to turn it into show/content idea for the main channel 

So please do leave a question, HOT TAKE or discussion topic, and we can go from there!

Thanks!

Jon

hot take: travis scott is on his way to be the next kanye west. give him 5-6 more years and he'll be on par or even better than kanye

Kevin Shaw

which living artist or band that has not made music in a while would you most want to see come back with some new music?

Brooke Cleary

what music did you listen to as a kid?

BK

What albums would you recommend to someone to get into metal?

shannon day

Most underrated artists of the year? Decade? Life? 😂

Jason Armstrong

What albums have you kept in rotation since first reaction?

Colin

what do you think about the future of concerts and festivals?

Crimberd Creve

Doing artist rankings could be cool, like ranking kendrick projects or future projects, etc. Could also rank top songs by an artist

mearns

From everything you've heard so far, do you prefer hip-hop from the 90s, 00s, or 10s?

Lassikko

How we can get reaction to more underground artists that don’t get a lot of votes? Ppl like Mavi, Billy woods, Aesop rock, Etc.

Marquis

Did you ever have doubts or thoughts about being a white guy from the UK (which I have no issue with obviously lol) reacting to rap which is predominantly black and culturally black. Clearly it worked out but I assumed that there was some fear of backlash that didn't happen

Eyþór Sváfnisson

I've heard you talk about how underrated Jay Rock is. My question is have you listened to an album of his so far? Either 90059 or his newest project Redemption. And if not are we getting a reaction? 👀🤞

LeBron's Burner

Are there any artists you discovered on this reaction journey that you had a misconception of before listening, and how has your opinion changed on said artist?

N D

Have you listened to much Sufjan Stevens? He's my favourite artist, just curious if he's somebody you've listened to.

Izzy Jennings

hot take: jid will be considered better then kendrick and cole within 5 years

Timothy Payton

Would you be inclined to react to some Young Jeezy?

kelseyocon

How do you feel like your previous (maybe still current?) career in music writing for magazines influences the way you do reactions/reviews? One of the things I love about your channel is that you have a really elegant and nuanced way of talking about music in general.

Leon Rosetree

Where would Punisher rank in your 2020 list?

Uzi Jacobson

We've seen you listen to and talk lot about XXXTentacion whether its been on Rock Reacts or JD solo, but what is your honest and final opinion about Jahseh and how has his music influenced you? (if at all)

Chris

choose 3 rappers (3 from trap & 3 lyricists) who you think will carry the mantle of rap throughout the 2020s. Preferably rappers 30 & under

Gyra

I know this is kinda negative, but who do you think are the most overrated artist(s) in rap and also R&B? Also please share thoughts on the degradation of (pop/rap) music due to artists chasing viral hits by catering music for TikTok challenges

Dominic McCarthy

What album or albums have had the greatest impact on your life? Whether that be albums that you purely loved or that you found to be relatable to your life experiences. Love the vids. Keep up the good work!

Anthony

Who have you had the most fun reacting to since your journey started ?

Will Schaaf

any plans for more “artist seasons” where you go through someone’s major releases in order? Future perhaps?

Alex Cartwright

Can you talk a little bit about your jiu jitsu journey? Why you started and why you stayed? Where you train and what you enjoy about it? What's your ultimate rolling playlist consist of? Really interested to hear about that part of your life! Much love and respect for the channel and an added bonus that you train bjj!

Karolina Stachowiak

Which album, that you reacted to, was a disappointment? And why do you think it could have been better?

Monkey D Nathan

What albums/songs/ or artist even did you listen to any the start of your hip hop journey that you highly rated that no longer is as highly rated for you due to the other exposure you have. Or vice versa any first listens you didn't like and find yourself going back to and liking?

Ahmad Timsah

top 5 favorite songs from The Weeknd?

Tele !

CAN YOU DO A REACTION TO RELAPSE OR READY TO DIE

Darnelle

Top 3 worst albums you have reacted too?

Gav

When reacting, how brutally honest are you when you don’t enjoy what your listening to? Do you ever feel pressure to not be overly critical through fear of upsetting that artist’s fan base or even burning bridges with that artist and their label (if ever it’s a smaller artist who might actually see your reaction)?

Gav

Do you listen to a lot of music in your free time/outside of the channel? If so what are the main types of music you listen to on a regular basis? Do you find yourself listening to less music in your free time seeing as listening to music is basically your job now?

Teddy Andrew

Whenever you fully get through an artists discography you should make tier lists & then update them accordingly in brief videos whenever they drop a new project

Chris

Have you heard Denzel currys taboo album?

Luke Bechtel

At any point since you started doing reactions, have you "faked" a single reaction? As in, you did a "first reaction" to an album you've already heard just because you knew it'd perform well? You don't have to specify what albums btw!

no

I know you're really busy with all of the music you react to each week, so how often do you actually go back and listen to albums you loved upon first reaction?

Cassandra Ugalde

What album/track/artist(s) have most surprised you during a reaction? Whether it be good or bad?

michael

You ever thought about revisiting kendrick lamar DAMN or good kid mad city? I noticed you have those on youtube but would love a full song version, i just cant hear my favorite albums cut off, but i do understand why u did it tho

Sebastian Pretzmann

Can you rank the weeknds projects from best to perfect 😂

Wulf Morpheus

Hot take: Yachty really be snappin and a lot of people are sleep cause he got a weird ass voice. Peep the track he got with JID and Menace 2 with Quavo

Shmuffalo

I like the idea, but that's kinda tough if you're just digesting an album; Let alone a discography. It takes a while for most to hit - Maybe update after a month, or however long, later? Good thought, man.

Shmuffalo

Hot take: Echoes of Silence > House of Balloons > Kiss Land > Thursday (yeah I threw Kiss Land in with Trilogy, needs more respek on the name). Further not so hot take, Starboy should've been spliced to a 6 song EP. Random thoughts on content: These 30 year old ears don't resonate with some of these newer artists. Thoughts on a video of (I guess, topical due to the new Netflix Doc) reviewing/comparing Biggie's Ready to Die/Life After Death.

Shmuffalo

My rank, holding no credibility: EOS, HOB, Kiss Land, Thursday, After Hours (damn, I want this higher), Beauty Behind the Madness, Starboy.

Monkey D Nathan

That's a good one especially for those of us who have been watching since the rock reacts days I kinda onlu followed Jon

Jason Armstrong

These two albums should never be in the same sentence with each other

Aaron Roberts

I got into wrestling when AEW came out, so I've been following Simon also, as he's doing a tonne of wrestling shit

BelG

The Origins! Would be nice to hear more about your early days, like what albums had an impact on you growing up and when you enter in the 20s then 30s. But at the same time, do a little origins of song. We loves the videos where the samples used by daft punk got shelled. So it would be nice if you did hiphop track, then hear the main inspiration of the song.
