Madox: *says literally anything*
Den: Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah
*chews gum*
The communication between the two was really funny
@@drefpet yeah
Just the fact how he so smoothly switches between his voice, throat bass and vibration bass... Amazing.
Finally Boots N Cats is back!! So glad to see him comeback with Swimming like a 🐢
@@skilledharmish I think that's a joke referencing Madox's initial guess on what a toad was
🤣 yeah he's here for his annual video

The thing is, this track has nothing to do with other beatbox tracks, but it has things that exist for a long time in music and for centuries in poetry; spoken-word, irregular metric varying with what's being said and the intention of the delivery, alternating time signatures, and of course, not so literal and self-descriptive lyrics (which throws me off about many beatbox tracks)
That's why i think it divides opinions sometimes
Edit: loved it at first, the more i listen, the more i love it, it paints such a surreal and dreamy painting
Well stated! My comment before I saw yours was less eloquent but to the same frame of mind, glad some people are actually paying attention to the intricacies out here. The magic is in the details, very led zeppelin-ey for me
Thy man of culture has Blessed us with another high quality analysis let’s gooo
For me, Codfish sounds really catchy.. This beats always in my minds
Reminds me a bit of recitative in opera-the ‘spoken’ bits that are set in a much more free-flowing style and with less melodic movement, to better match the true rhythms and pitching of speech. The more I hear this piece, the more it grows on me. But the theme is so personal, I think it may resonate with some and not others. It’s basically impenetrable to me 😅.
Seeing den beatboxing in the trailer makes me more excited 🔥️🔥️🔥
I wonder if codfish will actually STAY and not leave again, but anyways codfish has definitely improved and his songs are more fire! Even if the lyrics were confusing, it’s still siick!❤🔥
I think it's odd how many people jump to the conclusion that he was off time when it was a free-form way of lyricism... He won GBB by being the absolute best musical singer in the world at the time, of course he knows how to perform at the correct tempo... If he wanted to, he would.
Thank you. A lot of people completely missed that, it's like when Helium did that crazy syncopated polyrhythmic beat during BBU and people claimed he was off time lol
Tempo is an italian word
@@leatherslipper3017 🧍♂️
It's hard he started from boots n cats haha 😂
If you think about his lyrics tho, it seems like he's the Dungeon Master/Narrator of a DnD game. Describing the sequence of events alongside with the ominous bg music through his beatboxing hahaha ...or maybe I'm just a big nerd that's why 🤣
damn, that cover by Den. or should i say "Den, that cover"
Say "demn, that cover"
Swimming Like a Toad Keep it Low like you Poison = toads are cute and seem to be inoffensive but when you touch them they are poisonous. Cod was too much time out of Social Medias and people always say that his style is getting old and not good to beatbox but then, if you battle him, he is very complete and he is very different if we talk about being an artist.
The serpent is the gbb
The haze are the gbb wildcards
If you do battle rutines and flexing the most skills to enter the battle competition you forgot a lot of aspects about music so he talks about that freedom to sing
Fighting for what’s honest = being original, and keeping far from battles because he wants to develop the most his music
I have to go to school I will continue later
EDIT: Your Christianed blade rusts … your potential as an artist downgrades “if you focus on battles” (it is a very long concept, but you could understand it by seeing Vocodah's Instagram Stories..)
The Cherished tone = maybe, that “click” you do when you realize things or you find something isn't great for us.
And cuts the tongue off the RED LONG NOSED SERPENT = red -> GBB colour | long nosed -> think of Pinocchios character, when he lies his nose get bigger and bigger | serpent -> related to bad, toxic, and more bad | cuts the tongue off -> no one can’t talk without their tongue so GBB without tongue will not tell people (children) what future is, or tell lies (as “long nosed”) (like not speaking about those s * xual assaults on GBB 21)
Your king = …
❤️ your interpretation
hows school
Replied for noti I!
Ah goddamn school i wanted more :(
Being Australian I’d assume the the reference to a rainbow with wings is in reference to aboriginal culture “the rainbow serpent”. Explains all the references to toads and serpents. Mushrooms, psychedelics and rainbow serpents are all one and the same.
8:56 isn't it kind of funny how we are all literally beatboxers, that make music with our mouths. But when we want explain a melody we still choose to go "doo doo doo doo"
It gives really classic rock led zeppelin like vibes to me in structure and lyricism. There's quite a lot of depth to those lyrics too. Big fan of the GODFISH and loved the video, keep up the awesome content 💲
So happy to see Den on the channel hope you guys can collaborate again!
To be honest, even though his singing was quite off in some parts, his vibration bass makes up for it. Plus, I'm just happy that he's back :)
Codfish is rhyming it not singing
@@godofracist1396 yeah, i guess so
@@hexiy_dev yeah, don't get me wrong, i love Codfish (he's my favourite beatboxer), but to me there were a few parts where he broke rhythm with his singing
@@gojiberrii1261 where?
It is intentional and he pulled it off so well.
29:53 dens eyes are perfect in line with the light ❤
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL MADOX!! you and DEN together?! 🤯🤯🤯🤯 lol
"Yeah" - Den 2022
Tutorial series with DEN like always
Please
🙏🏼
Alternative title: Den gives Codfishes new video the best dubbed title to ever exist
Slam poetry featuring vibration base.
Can’t wait for the Den videos!
27:21 DEN please full cover?!?!?
Yeah he is actualy so good
Yeeeee den style is cooler
Eyyy awesome to see Den! 🔥🔥🔥
the timing during the one part is like spoken word genre rather than a song per say but it’s meant to be off timing like that
Madox - says something to lead conversation
Den - yea , yea
Madox - continued conversation
Den - yea
😂😂😂 idk why this was so funny to me lol den needs to get better with interviewing and being on camera talking .
omg Den’s face on the thumbnail haha
So cool to see you doing a video together 😍
My two bb fav's in one room... Am i dreaming right now?!
19:42 LMFAO!!
Reminded me of a early days Godsmack track. Very tribal style vocals, with breakdowns in-between.
Madox : I'm bad with understanding lyrics
Den : 'He's talking abt nature you know you know just like . . . . . . N A T U RE '
Madox face : No shit !!! Really???
Seen so many people bitch about his timing on this track but I personally think it’s so raw & original! Codfish doesn’t give a fuck and I’m all for it 🙏🖤
Ya it’s definitely raw but still horrible timing
@@Neon1880 that’s your opinion buddy
@@IsX1999 no, that’s a fact. You can’t just say “that’s your opinion” when I said his timing is off, because it is. Grab a metronome, check it yourself, he is HORRIBLY off time. Amazing sound and great beatbox, horrible timing. Not an opinion, a fact
@@Neon1880 doesn’t really take away from the track for 99% of people, don’t need to be so uptight about it 👶
@@Coreyj2135 takes away for a lot of people actually, people just love his vibration base so much they ignore his flaws
i love den do more with him pls
What? CODFISH is evolving!
Congratulations! your CODFISH Evolved into TOADFISH
Swimming like a toad🐢🐢
Fun breakdown you guys! Den, bro, THE GUM...not on the mic! hahaha...you should have taken some notes from Codfish pulling away from the mic to swallow that ish.
Madox:
Den: Yeah
Den sih 🔥🔥🔥
27:21
Swimming like a 🐢
Yo how cool would it be if he did a documentary voiceover in between beatboxing! 'BUHUHYEYE This bird has a wingspan of 2 meters BUHUHYEYE'
When a beatboxer dies, they invite codfish to perform funeral service
7:26 dope
BEATBOX IS FREEDOM BRO..
I don't know about you guys, but I think this is so typical German to be obsessed with small unimportant details like "can a toad actually swim?" So funny man, but I needed to know, too, so thanks Madox :D what another great video!! ESH
As an Aussie, knowing they don't get the toadfish reference is just gravy
You guys notice that Den does this thing where he covers his top lip with his tongue? I don't know why but I just clocked that
Real man of culture - the swimming toad
Maybe there are other bands or artists that are better comparisons but this track makes me think of "King Crimson" not necessarily because of the sound of it but the lyrics feel like something they would write.
Will you ever analyze his most recent videos?
I would love to see those
madox can u make my day and say hi!
Mhmmm …
Ok, ok.
Hi!
Oh frick Den is dropping something soon? Moreover in cooperation with madox i can already see the video quality there sheesh it's gonna be very very interesting
Let’s goo best collab I could ask for
glad den brought up chocolate rain haha i was thinking of that song too
I think codfish took aton of psychedelics and wrote this
please more of this !!
Den, every 5sec' yeah.😂
Den dont know that the codfish is a legend
yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah...
When i'm hearing codfish welcome back beatbox i feel like i'm the badass hero walking towards the enemy ferious and undestructable!! Lit up the fire vodgish is gettin' started🔥🔥🔥
I liked the beatboxing sections, and I really like how Codfish is able to change so smoothy between the different bases. But the lyrics... they didn't make much sense to me. It was nice to hear an analysis by people who are way more experienced in beatboxing than me though. Thanks for the video.
pls record analysis loopstation battle frosty vs rythmind
Codfish is a legend
reminds me of aboriginal music, aboriginal is the indigenous culture of australia
The owner of that toad swimming video is probably wondering why views are suddenly going through the roof
YESS i love DEN this was awsome
Bruh , Madox produced Den sets.
Den giving us some ASMR
Thank you very much for making this video!
The lyrics got deciphered in the comments of the video by yoesh RA trooth
Ahh, do you record also for spotify? :o
Its so nice to have new track by DEN in the playlist!
Nice and entertaining vid!🐢
ESH!
The keep it low like a poison is meaning keep your strengths up and keep the thing that bring u down and feel bad low
Den hittin us with the “dayum gurl” face in the thumbnail once again
I think "swimming like a toad keep it low like a poison" means like just swim freely like a toad and killing you a poison slowly 🤔🤔
You have to be high to write this song
yeah
I remembered Chocolate Rain also when I saw the Codfish video for the first time
Lol my thoughts exactly about it being slam poetry
Great review, Codfish is a legend. But I cant do the constant gum chewing. Dude spit it out before recording a video
Yeah
We need a "yeah" counter
Unfortunately I won’t be checking out Den on spotify…
Cause I use Apple Music and I already have all his songs on my playlist.
He’s on Apple Music?!? Going there immediately
bars
I was waiting for this..
The most impressive part for me is not Codfish, but Dan at 27:01
Den got that Salt Papi down.
It sounds like a Kambo trip - Where they take the poison from a toad and put it into your bloodstream....I wonder if all beatboxers would have have beat trips lol
Why Den looking like Salt Papi in the thumbnail 🤣
Check pls loop final 2022 SYJO VS ANTRIX
What does codfish and codfish have in common
They both swim
Like a toad
🥲Plz end me
Хотелось бы увидеть его ещё раз на gbb. Как легенда будет разносить всех в пух и прах как раньше, просто и легко... Эх
Great video ❤️
Wie groß soll die Lücke zwischen cam und Videorand sein?
Madox: Ja!
Ah, so this is what beatbox poetry is!
I hope they talk about the lyrics.
They are written down in Codfishs top comment
bbx Den❤ and Man of culture feat.codfish🐟 fun!!!
TOAD OF CULTURE
it's a roasting video more than it is based on analyzing.
Den chewing gum during recording…wow. Great video but the fun chewing was a bit unprofessional
