Duke Reacts to KARMIN - Told You So (THAT LAST VERSE!)

All hail Queen HVRBY, one of the most underrated lyricists from the last 20 years. She DEMOLISHED this vocal especially on the last verse. The fast part caught me off guard

Discover the power of SORA 2 AI by bringing back the legend Michael Jackson. The accuracy of the likeness of MJ is like nothing I've seen thus far. Amazing

Duke Reacts to SNOOP DOGG - Bet Awards 2025 (FT. A SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA!)

BET AWARDS performance by the one and only SNOOP DOGG. Snoop was given the Ultimate Icon award, so he used his performance piece to collab with none other than the L.A. Philharmonic. Now THAT is a feature.

Duke Reacts to DOJA CAT - Ahh Men! (FT. BUSTA RHYMES!)

Doja Cat picked the same sample for her album as Big Buss did back in '97 with Turn It up (Fire It Up). SO. We're gonna listen to them BACK to BACK and see who cqme hotter over this beat. Doja or Busta. Enjoy

Duke Reacts to BUSTA X T-PAIN - Hustler's Anthem (BILLION DOLLAR COLLAB!)

Classic Busta Rhymes & T-Pain "Hustler's Anthem 09" off the Back On My B.S. album by Big Buss. The bass line definitely hits different and we got 3 whole verses from the legend. Let's GO

Duke Reacts to GENESIS - Jesus He Knows Me (THIS WAS LIT!)

One of the last truly great Genesis music videos "Jesus He Knows Me" 1991 was a parody of 80s televangelists such as Jimmy Swaggart and Jerry Falwell, off the We Can't Dance album. The instrumentation and hook section to this. is off. And I believe that was a cameo from Emily In Paris as a young girl, please verify in the comments.

Duke Reacts to NAS - Hip-Hop Is Dead (THIS AGED WELL!)

Classic MV from 2006, Nas featuring Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas. Hip-Hop Is Dead. I will argue hip-hop has never been more alive, but either way this record still SLAPS. Sample of Iron Butterfly, In A Gadda Da Vida

Duke Reacts to DRAKE - What Did I Miss? (HOTLINE BLING DANCE?)

Reacting to the full music video for Drake's latest masterwork WHAT DID I MISS? He threw in an homage to perhaps his most notorious video, Hotline Bling. It can only mean one thing. Sorry for the sound interference. There was some static but decided to keep the take.

Duke Reacts to CARL THOMAS - I Wish (CLASSIC R&B BANGER!)

Lost R&B banger from 2000, I Wish is one of the pitchiest performances of the era. Shawty finna be wildin' out to this one.

Duke Reacts to WEIRD AL - I Remember Larry (FORGOTTEN SAVAGE BANGER!)

I Remember Larry off Weird Al's 1996 masterpiece Bad Hair Day. These are among Weird Al's most savage and hilarious lyrics. Enjoy

Duke Reacts to PEARL JAM - Do The Evolution (EDDIE GOES NUTS!)

Gonna try to post my reaction for the live version of Do The Evolution which is a fantastic performance by PJ especially singer Eddie Vedder. Eddie went so hard he blew out his voice. Hopefully we can get this up here on YT for you guys to enjoy.

Duke Reacts to FRANK ZAPPA - I'm The Slime (LIVE ON SNL!)

This was the first of two appearances by Frank Zappa on SNL in the 70s. On the second one, which ultimately made him Persona Non Grata, he did Dancin' Fool. If Zappa had lived it's likely he could have reconciled and returned to the show like Adam Sandler did. But I guess we'll never know. Zappa was fantastic the first time they had him on.
