It’s crazy how much I’ve listened to this album. Top 10 of the decade easily.
Yup definitely
Easily

top 25 imo W

The reaction you had to heavenly father is a mirror image of my first reaction to the song😂
Thabang Malaza honestly!!
I felt the exact same way
Couldn’t be more accurate😂👌🏼
Same lol.
"i think i might like him more than kendrick" oh my god the mad lad said it
Michael Langfeldt Kendrick has always been my favorite rapper, since I was in high school, but after _Tirade,_ Zaywop has slowly taken Kenny's spot.
I can confidently say that Kendrick is the best rapper of all time. That being said, Isaiah is my favourite rapper. His music speaks to me personally, I will never get sick of his music or who he is. Kendrick still the goat tho
El Capitano Credit where credit is due. Salute.
I say this all the time it’s honestly not as far fetched as it seems...Kendrick is my fav rapper but as an artist Isaiah Rashad is easily my favorite all time
eedeot bwoy You can be on a rapper's level, even with a smaller discography, but I feel you.

react to The Sun's Tirade its a classic
Ewanyoumean classssssiiccc shhhiittttttt
Suns tirade plz
@@Czjp I fucks with Isiah heavy 🔥 but it's a amazing tape but not a classic 💯
@@MORNINGSTAR190 At first listen I wouldn't have called it a classic but now I say classic without a doubt. All the songs have grown on me and I can listen from start to finish that's how I rate "classic" albums. Your opinion is valid though.
@@ChivasBarcelonaMex thankyou soooo much !!! For understanding
TDE’s ace up their sleeve.
Meme Man Man! And that’s crazy considering the roster
Facts
SO TRUE
Meme Man TDE is so stacked it’s unfair
@@zSPC and then people have the audacity to compare them to dreamville as if it’s close😭
Yooooo 😭😭😭
Zay is literally one of my fav artists. This album is insane
Same. Underrated forsure
Jordan Escobar hopefully he drops in 2020 or December
Fish L he said he was dropping before December but who knows
@@ilikeu1010101010101 Man I've been hoping he drops since 2018 it's long due. Can't wait to go to his concert also.
@@itsnoya5520 Where did you see this?? I need a link or some info don't get my hopes up bro cus there's only 2 weeks left to December lol
Imagine thinking JD isn’t the best reactor/content creator on CZcams right now.....needed this reaction
🙌🙌 thank you
He's killing it with the hip-hop reactions bro it's crazy
I mean this from the heart... thank you for reacting to this album. Rashad’s gotten us through a lot of tough times, and seeing someone truly understand his art and his message is refreshing. It’s very rare that we get to have discussions about Isaiah (because the average person doesn’t listen to this type of rap lol) so thanks again J.D!!
West savannah makes me happysad. Still almost shed a tear
it makes me feel alive
West savannah took me through a tough time in my life. Was in love with a suicidal girl, that always 'travelled for [me]' that was a fan of outkast. That was our song on the rough days man
Idk why but zay just makes me feel some sorta way, and idk why, i’ve never been suicidal or addicted to substances but whenever i listen to his music i just feel good and i love it, i agree with JD i am starting to like zay more than kendrick
It immediately stood out to me, and is one of my favorites by him. The vocal layering is amazing too
Also, Isiah and SZA are absolute magic Everytime they pair on a track

This is a solid bundle of music homie
Romalle Phillips Preciate it 🙏🏾
Live love asap
ROYALTY!!!
This was an incredible reaction. This is definitely one of my most listened albums since 2014. You are completely right about the essence captured by this record. It is timeless. I met Isaiah in Dublin at his show when i was 16. He's just a normal guy, so down to Earth. His live show was really fucking good. Also, when you broke down during Heavenly Father, I joined you. That song has meant so much to me for so long. As an adolescent dealing with the absence of a father figure and mental health issues, this song just made me feel less alone.
Great video and unparalleled analysis as usual from these reactions. College has me so busy, but when I get a chance to check out JD Tha Prophet's work, it's never a disappointment.
Gavin Danaher dude as I was listening to this, I was also brought back to the time he played Dublin, Vicar Street, opening for Schoolboy Q. Was lucky enough to meet him straight off the bus, with not a single person round. Isaiah stole the show that night
Man I wish he came out west lad I can't afford a trip up to Dublin
Hope you are keeping well Brother
Was this 2017? If so I was there too 😁
@@ch-946 hell yeah it was 🙂. Ive got the poster from that show signed and all. Great memory. Great show
One of the most intelligent, gritty, introspective and dark albums of all time.
Absolutely. Always shed tears on Heavenly Father, hits close to home man. This album seriously saved my life.
@@SilentVi3wer real shit man, album made me turn my life around
Look forward to you listening to The Sun's Tirade, don't think you'll like it as much but it's still very good.
Kemal M
Sun’s tirade takes longer to settle. When it did I liked it more than Cilvia
@@njper123 I really like it but I stil prefer Cilvia Demo myself, both are great.
Theyre both as great as each other to me
Thraitor
Agreed. It’s seasonal. Lol I tend to bump sun’s tirade more these days. Bout time Zay drops tho! 3 years it been? This man lucky he just discovered Zay lol
@@njper123 very well said
This album is my soulmate... idk how else to put it
Man, this album is keeping me alive e
This reaction made me love one of my favorite projects even more
Oh lord. I AM READY.
Thank you dude!!!! My favorite reactor by far.
I knew you'd like it man. Your reaction was basically exactly how I reacted the first time I heard this album.
28:11 Jay Rock isn’t the most underrated rapper... it’s Isaiah
Jay Rock is better.
homer wisdom that’s not the argument
@@kylekane9684 Jay Rock is way more underrated than Isaiah lol But Griselda Records is the most underrated in the game.
Jay rock is a better rapper
KungFuKennyTDE Isaiah makes better music
i grew up with an alcoholic father and always had a rough relationship with him. a few years back he got diagnosed with terminal liver disease and it sent me to rock bottom. i also started dealing with alcoholism issues of my own. i heard this tape for the first time during a late night sesh with the homie after i had a breakdown and on the brink of attempting to take my own life. to say that it touched the bottom of my soul would be an understatement. never related to anything more than when i heard this album for the first time. it will always be personally my favorite project ever, it quite literally might have saved my life. thank you zay for this absolute gem of a tape. much love to all.
I just made a very weird noise when I saw this uploaded, been looking forward to this for ages.
Me too man, weve hooked another fan 😁
When you said he might be your favorite over Kenny I felt that in my soul. Kendrick’s music has a special place in heart just for the time in which I found him and everything it did for me.
But let me tell you the first time I heard Isaiah Rashad it was like a tsunami slapping me in the face. I can relate heavily to a lot of what he raps about and being my age and from the same state as me made the connection to his music so much more special.
Discovering Isaiah Rashad was like Morpheus finding Neo. Except Isaiah hasn’t missed yet. And if his track record is anything to go by I don’t think he ever will. The man just doesn’t know how to make a bad song.
Thanks for the video
Bro when you traded up on Heavenly Father. That was me man. I don’t know what it is about him but he just soothes the soul. I felt that emotion. God bless JD
Man I’ve said the same thing ever since discovering Zay. The man doesn’t have a bad song. People complain about how long it takes him to drop music, but he just takes time to get things right and it shows. I cannot wait for his next album
@@0216Charlie - He actually has a ton of bad songs, but he'll never release them, because "they don't live up to my standards." -Zay
He was talking on instagram live when he said this. Basically he only wants to release music that he can actually proud of, quality over quantity.
same feeling here. i just put it like this: kendrick speaks for his community [and sometimes people I general], zay for himself
@@__kiri Kendrick on DAMN spoke for himself , and i think he hates speaking for the people , the pressure is too high, that’s what he wanted you all to understand with his last album
YESSSSSS
One of My Favorite Albums Of All Time
When you said on Hereditary that its straight forward with no metaphors. The whole song is ironic because hes saying his dad taught him all those things, but his dad left him, so he taught him those things but really he learned them himself from his father not being there for him (how to drink my pain away, that I dont need nobody, how to leave somebody)
I feel you man. Stay strong. There are going to be better days, much love
this album saved my life. please do The water[s] by Mick Jenkins next
The Water(s) is beautiful sonically and lyrically. When that tape came out I listened to it almost exclusively for a while!
Cilvia Demo, Water[s] and Acid Rap.
I’m gonna buy the vinyl for those projects one day just to have them.
TREES N TRUTHS
Lilskrt4k mine too !
I love you for this! Best mixtape I’ve probably ever heard, mick is on another level in that shit.
West Savannah one of the most underrated tracks from Zay, that shit is so subtly complex it’s beautiful. Love this reaction man JD the Prophet taking us back to the good days, need that new Rashad ASAP😭
This album was my senior year of high school with DBR and the Waters by Mick Jenkins. Great reaction choice 👌🏾
Jordan Johnson 2014 what a year
Jordan Johnson what a combo that was.
If you like this style of US hip-hop, you'd love Mick Jenkins! His raps are smooth and lyrically crazy
The Waters is such a damn good project
@@needlessmoose8055 still one of the best mixtapes ive ever listened to
I love that Mick Jenkins and Isaiah have such a big crossover audience. Now Mick just needs to learn to love Isaiah lol
Needless Moose u prefer the waters or pieces of a man
🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is one of the best reactions I’ve ever seen, it’s so uncut and real.
If you like this you’d love
TUT- Preacher’s Son
They’re both Chattanooga, TN artists and they have a few collaborations together
This x1000 I haven't gone a single week without listening to both since hearing them back in 2014/2015. They will NEVER EVER get old.
Money Mon
Ppl barely talk about preacher’s son. So freakin underrated
I found TUT through Isaiah in early 2015 right after the release of Preachers Son and I've listened to him every day since. The two of them really have a style and vibe that I can never get enough of.
The 🏠
🏚🏚🏚🏚
He is the only one I can listen to day in and day out for years.
Yes! I have been waiting for this for a while thanks Jon!
one of thee best reaction channels. i appreciate your willingness to understand
"They talkin',' bout... they gon' run up in somebody house.... he.... he talkin' 'bout you?"
I saw your comparison between Zay and Kendrick and I feel simil. To me they’re two sides of the same coin. Kendrick to me represents our perfect self. Every song, every word, every syllable is used exactly how he wants it to be. And even when things are going poorly and we’re feeling down things will be fine, “we’re gonna be alright.” However, because everything is so great, it feels a bit out of reach. Zay is us at our most vulnerable. Raw emotion, pure honesty, and at times it doesn’t feel like we’ll make it to the other side. I feel like the reaction you had to Heavenly Father is a reaction to how a lot of us Zay fans felt listening to his whole discography, our at least myself for certain (maybe cause Zay’s story resembles mine quite a lot but that’s besides the point). We look at Kendrick and we see how we want to see ourselves. Zay is like looking in a mirror at all our insecurities and anxieties and issues trying to face them head on, and we might not win. But even though we don’t have it figured out we will at some point, we’ll get to our Kendrick. Sorry if this went on too long but these guys are my 2 favorite artists ever and I feel passionate about their music. Great reaction as ways Jon
Amazing
You don't hear/feel any vulnerability and raw emotion from Kendrick tracks though?.. (Sing about me, u, FEEL, FEAR, etc.) Idk, even though Kendrick has a lot of positive messages and morals in his music, it never struck me as something out of reach or a representation of our "perfect self". To me, he's just living his truths while we listen along. A lot of his songs reflect personal experience and I don't think the other elements in music overshadow the disparity and relatability that he has in his music. Just my opinion though...Cilvia Demo is amaaaazing.
All great points. I don’t know maybe Kendrick’s mainstream success puts a filter on it for me, cause as you mention Kendrick has a lot of songs with emotional depth and vulnerability. It may just be the way they go about in their process. I think Kendrick is the best to ever do it, (a discussion for another day lmao) but it seems to me that his style is traditional. Of course he experiments within his music, but to me he’s always an emcee, he’s always a lyricist, and that’s where his strengths lie. Zay has said he’s got the music for the vibers. The interview he did with sway they discuss his creative process. It’s very abstract, very much like he knows when it’s done, he doesn’t have to hit a certain guideline. I think about West Savannah and all the emotions that I can feel in that track. A track which is only 2 minutes and the a lot of the lyrics come from the chorus, but still very emotional. I don’t know. I tried to put it into words as best I could how I felt about their similarities cause I had been thinking about it recently and Jon mentioning the 2 brought it back up for me. But yeah, at least we all agree that Cilvia Demo is great lmao, and I’m eagerly anticipating The House is Burning
@@jtr1298 Fair enough, it's all left for interpretation anyway. I can see how the mainstream filter can make you feel that way though, but he always seems like he's so true to himself while trying to be an artist to the highest degree so it never really effected me. I relate to kdot on a lot stuff so that's probably my perspective is a bit different and vice versa... but yeah I can't wait for new Kendrick and Zay in the year 2037 lol. Also, YES Kendrick is the GOAT but that's a whole other discussion haha.
This is a really great take
Can I just say, the honesty you displayed in this review was really touching. I'm glad you enjoyed it this much and I'm happy that I'm not the only person that puts this album as one of the best of the decade because I honestly think this is a classic and it goes into my top five of all-time. Bless up Jon!
It’s honestly just astounding how beautiful and relatable Heavenly Father is. The entire album is near perfect, and it’s one of my favourite albums of all time. But Heavenly Father is almost an anamoly. Literally everyone i’ve showed the song to has been deeply impacted by it and this video shows the same thing. I’m glad that so many others are touched by that song like i am. Music can bring so many people together and it’s good knowing that there’s people who love Isaiah Rashad as much as me. Much love everybody!
West savannagh is one of the best songs, so calming and the lyrics are amazing
Absolutely beautiful reaction
SZA and Isaiah are a GREAT duo.... They always make great songs together
i discovered your channel recently and I'm going back and watching a lot of your old stuff, I genuinely loved watching how much you enjoyed listening to this album.
I feel like I time traveled watching you react to this. My heart melted all over again. 1000% one of the best albums of all time I’m so happy you love it
Around 1.5 years later and this reaction is still
Amazing. Over 6 years later and this album is still Amazing.
Real quick bro. Thank you so much for existing. I love you.
For you to be so honest and vulnerable and share your experience with the world is such a powerful thing. Grappling with such difficult topics in real time is not easy, and you make it an art form. Thank you Jon for everything, keep doing your thing! (By the way, this is in my top 5 favorite albums of all time)
I'm so happy that you have finally done a reaction to this project!!! I love it
I have this video in my CZcams downloads and listen to it twice a week. Your commentary and listening to the bits of one of my favorite albums, hand in hand brother. Makes me happy to hear someone appreciate his music as much as I do 🙏🏽🔥
Dude, this review is one of the best reviews I've seen, actually digesting the content of the music. Amazing dude! 👏🏿
I came across your channel by luck, but to see you enjoy one of my favorite artist. It actually bring joy to see someone else connect to his music like I did when I first heard it.
heavenly father is so beautiful shit always makes me shed a tear
One of my favorite albums, so stoked you reviewed this!
This is the best reaction video I've seen, thanks for choosing this album. It's my favorite of all time.
One of my favorite albums ever and one of my favorite reaction videos too. Thanks!
This album is such an underrated classic
Jon back with another banger!
An album I can’t recommend enough is Ab-Soul - Control System
I've waiting for this for over year. I have the time to watch it now. Thank you JD! 🙏🏾
Got so hyped when I saw this pop up in my feed! One of my all time favorite albums. Great reaction/review as always! Can’t wait for more Zay reactions
You are amazing at reacting, you find the perfect things to attach the music to
I’m so weak at your reaction. It makes me feel like I’m listening to it again for the first time. That’s dope. 👍🏻
for real!!
Same and it’s amazing 🙏🏼
Shot You Down is one of my favourite songs of all time, loved the reaction🔥🔥 THE SUNS TIRADE NEXT!!!!!
Still can't enough of this album 5 years later.
thank you so much for reviewing this. was havin’ a tough day and this album typically has helped me deal with those and just seeing my favorite reactor react to one of my favorites of all-time made everything so much better. i appreciate the emotion you show in every reaction and how willing you are to just dive fully into the music every time. have a great day
I still come back to this vid every month. You’re the man, JD
13:53 oh boy, we got you now! But for reals, I feel the same. I love Kendrick and consider him to be the best rapper/artist but something about Zay pulls me in more.
Been saying this, kendrick is my favorite rapper but my favorite artist is isaiah
sooooo glad you reviewed this !!! love this mixtape
Great review really appreciate what your doing keep it up Jon!
One of my favorite albums of all time. So happy you reacted to it
One of my favorite albums of all time. Much love from Cali. Great break down btw, one if the best I’ve hesrd
THANK YOU JD THE PROPHET!!!!!!! I been in a few of your comment sections recommending this album and I'm so glad you had the reaction you did. Ecstatic right now
P.S.: I think this album is so moving because of the level of his storytelling. He takes away all of the energy necessary for empathy and just puts you the fuck there (his flows/beats match perfectly as well, they exist as a solid unit to me, much like frank ocean's music) You're right as well, I've been listening to cilvia over and over since it came out in 2014.
How I have been waiting for this one! Finally!
thank you for this j.d. cant believe you finally did it. good to see this album connected with you and so many others. its my favourite
Really enjoy watching your reactions dude. Its awesome to see your appreciation for good hip hop and how it has grown since you've started. Awesome open minded approach.
Greatest reaction I’ve ever seen to one of the greatest albums I’ve ever heard
Great Video Jon! Knew you would love this tape since Rock Reacts. Sun's Tirade is a no-brainer at this point for one of your next reactions, but definitely give time for this project to breathe first, they're both great works of art, and they both give you different pieces of Isaiah Rashad. Keep up the great work!
Ayee bruh much RESPECT for reviewing this !
Love you Jon. One of the most passionate & genuine music listeners on here.
Isaiahs a beast. He makes this kinda super soulful emotional and conscious music, great review Jon!!!
Finally! Thanks jd I haven't clicked on a video so fast
I've been waiting for you to react to this album since I found you and Simon on rock reacts I'm glad the impact that this album has on you and I'm very appreciative about this video cause watching you react to this album brought me back when I first listen to it and I'm thankful for your take on this masterpiece
This is my favorite project of the decade. Never heard of Jon Denton. Here's to a new sub for Jon and to a great record!
I’ve watched/listened to this Reaction/Review 5 times in one week and will continue to watch this for a long time down the rode. This album is probably my all time favorite and this reaction absolutely does it justice. Thank you for your appreciation to this album/artist and just Hip Hop in general. You’re a real one my g
Thank you for reacting to this! One of my favourite projects of 2010s!
Liked it before watching the video!!! So excited
React too Flatbush zombies betteroffdead mixtape
THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE NIGGA, THIS RIGHT HERE?!?!
This has to happen

Hands down has to be one of my favourite mixtapes. “That can’t even get you a burger cuzzzz,,, with cheese”
The Vision ZOMBIE GANG 🗣🗣🗣🗣

OOHHHH YEEEAAAAAAAH BABYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This ep is one of my favorite bodies of music I’ve ever heard. I run through this album almost every day. So damn glad your doin this.
This has became my favorite reaction/review from you
Wowwwwww I was shocked to see this. I’m so glad you reacted to Zay!
There’s not enough Isaiah Rashad content on CZcams so instant like for anybody providing content. Thank you
Incredibly emotional, spot on review. Still listening in 2020
I love that you reacted to this album. It's been one of my personal favorites since it released. Also agree 100% that this album has replay value 20+ years which is very rare. A real hidden gem, shout out to those who know. 💯
So hyped. One of my favorite favorite favorite albums ever
This is a dope review one of my all time favorite albums
