In the 46^th edition of Bangerz N Bopz 🔥 (2024), we break down “Bassthoven” performed by YouTuber and musician, Kyle Exum. 

“I’m like Beethoven with the bass on him.” That is a statement, Kyle Exum! Ludwig Van Beethoven was a musical genius; one of the giants of classical music. Sampling the Beethoven classic, Für Elise, the YouTuber and musician cooks 😮‍💨.  He drops a superb flow, confident tone, and captivating bars on his 2020 single, “Bassthoven”. “Bassthoven” is brief, merely crossing the two-minute.  That’s ample time for him to kill it. He’s assisted by Shawn Wasabi who produced the track.  That trap beat sounds dope against the beloved Beethoven bagatelle.

Naturally, “Bassthoven” contains cool references to Beethoven (“Deaf to the hate, I won’t stop”) as well as Mozart (“Me and Mozart got bars, we got bops” and “And if Mozart comes at me with the diss track) and Bach (“The next Johann, call me 2Bach”).  Exum also drops clever, sick musical references (“Ninety-nine problems, my pitch ain’t one” and “A major G, watch your tone here”).  Exum is self-assured, entertaining, and locked-in on “Bassthoven”.
