Hey guys, CDTVProductions here, and today in Best Verses, we will be looking at Lil
skeet skiddy bang bang Skies. Skies is a rapper that I discovered from my, umm, review series,
with a title that totally doesn’t make you think I dislike his music, but no it turns
out I love his music, and I’m gonna see him live hopefully in about a month so I thought
today we would look at his best verses. That’s all I’ve got to say, make sure you check
out the CDTVThaG channel where my twin uploads in depth reaction videos, this is ya Boi,
CDTVProductions and let’s get into this video.
Life (Verse 1)
This is one of my favourite Skies verses for sure if you’re looking at the lyrics. As
the title tells you, Skies tells the story all about his life and his upbringing on this
track. He tells us all about his family, about how he didn’t like asking his mum for money
because she has bills to pay, about how his uncle sold drugs, and Skies thought it was
pretty cool until his uncle went to jail for it. The whole song, which one long verse,
is just about how Skies came to be the person that he is. It’s got a really nice vibe
to it, and it’s just cool knowing the background behind the person.
Russel (Verse 2)
This is one that I enjoy because it’s something that we rarely hear from Skies, as this track
actually has quite an aggressive and foreboding sound to it. His flows are incredibly suited
to this, and he moves very fluidly throughout this verse. Lyrically there aren’t really
insanely crazy lines here, but it’s all just fitted to the dark theme that this song
has, with some nice, gritty lines. I’m actually happy Skies doesn’t employ this sinister
style more often, because that way, it’s more enjoyable and notable when he actually
does use it.
LilSkiesFuneral (Verse 2)
I just wanna say, you really missed an opportunity to call this one SkieFiesFuneral, but maybe
I’m the only one who thinks that sounds pretty cool. Here Lil Skies bounces his words
over the kinda fast paced drums on here, and it’s got a cool energetic vibe to it. I
will admit there are a couple lines I consider to be a little corny on here, but the rest
of it is pretty solid, and I mostly listen to Skies for flow and vibes anyways. And he
did a pretty damn good job on this one. He also closed out the song with a fairly nice
singing segment, and it’s always good to hear Skies pull out a fairly strong rapping
verse.
Lettuce Sandwich (Verse 1)
I love this track as it’s really a nice mix of Skies using his melodies and rapping
flows in tandem to create a great sound. He uses auto tune throughout this verse, which
actually isn’t something that Skies utilises regularly, and that surprisingly makes this
one stand out from his other tracks. Again, “milk the game like a t!t” isn’t a great
lyric, but the rest are fine to me. The beat dropping out, which occurs a few times on
this first verse, just serves to make the verse even more catchy, and it’s one of
the Skies verses that has stuck in my head the most. I really enjoyed this one.
No Bad Vibes (Verse 1)
I think this is simultaneously Skies’ most emotional and chilled out verse at the same
time. It’s got an inspirational feeling to it, and inspiration is something that Lil
Skies does very well. One of the lines that really got me was where he said “I’m Trina
blow up and do an interview with Westwood”, because that’s exactly what he did. He had
that ambition back in 2016 when this dropped, and almost a year and a half later, he would
blow up very rapidly and achieve that interview with Tim Westwood, the man that looks like
every schools swim team coach. It also hit quite hard when he says he’s single because
he doesn’t wanna risk having his heartbroken, and I think this whole song is great if you
want some laid back motivation. It’s probably one of my favourite tracks from Skies and
I didn’t discover it until recently. The second verse is also great
on
this one.
