    He's not only a good rapper, he is also fluent in the sims language.
  • @Archydos
    So, I think a lot of people don't realize that Daniel actually had to memorize the lyrics to produce this.
  • @regolith1350
    I'm a native English speaker and this is exactly what rap sounds like to me.
  • @JarNO_WAY
    before I learned english, this is what every radio channel sounded like
  • As a non native English speaker this speaks to my childhood. Never thought I'd hear this language ever again but here we are
  • As a Brazilian who for most of his life lived without knowing a word of English, I can say that this is bizarrely accurate.
  • @alejrandom6592
    When he said "Bonkey lee, bonkey do" I was perplexed. Not a lot of rappers these days can say so much with so little. This is poetry in its purest form
  • @random.comment
    According to the beginning of the video, this whole song is one sentence. 😂😂😂
  • @mrsauce7320
    The thing is, Daniel is actually proving the point of flow and cadence being the only thing needed to create a banger in nowadays rap
  • Bro why this lowkey a vibe tho? Like he’s saying nothing, but the flow and beat are crazy 😂
  • @alejrandom6592
    I love the fact that he made a whole coreography just in case he got the question "can you use it in a sentence?"
  • @NotDeadYet25
    As someone who likes to listen to like Korean and Japanese rap sometimes, I can confirm this is 100% accurate
  • as a rapper who raps in english but is not a native speaker, this is EXACTLY what i do to test the flow
  • @caiocesar1504
    As a non korean-speaker this could easily pass for a K-pop song and i wouldnt question it
  • @jimins-jams
    As a native English speaker, this is what it sounds like to listen to K-Pop.
  • @Furypotato
    i am from Taiwan, and i confirm that this is one of the most lyrically inspiring rap song i have ever heard, 【chipilia kapalilipa dede tritri】 really hit hard
