@@ichris2011 I'm ok with appreciating other people's opinions and stuff but the fact that the Grammys are supposed to look at things "objectively" and then they do shit like this, it just destroys any credibility award shows like that have. 1989 is a bland dance-pop that rips off artists like Madonna and Janet Jackson who were doing shit like that 30 years before Taylor. Hip hop is the biggest genre in music right now and Kendrick completely transcended it with this album, breaking barriers and setting new standards for future rap artists.

Don't know whether anybody has noticed this but at the end of Mortal Man (end of the album) its actually a seamless transition into Sherane A.K.A Master Splinters )beginning of GKMC. Depending on your reading of both albums TPAB in particular, it could be seen as a prequel to GKMC. In Mortal Man he discusses with Pac the future of the black youth the youth in which Kendrick would have been a part of (Given pac died in the 90's). This transition into Sherane and in fact GKMC as a whole can be Kendricks perception of Pacs words and how Kendrick has embodied the youth. If this is what Kendrick meant to achieve from this it truly cements him at the top of the game not just as a hip hop artist but as a forward thinker. Kendrick is what the world needs, and this album demonstrates his power.

[@anthonycelestin3559]

If nobody understands the meaning of the album, Ill explain it, in a short detail. The depression Kendrick felt throughout TPAB is him being conflicted in how he approaches racism and he doesn't know what to do. Poor black people are like caterpillars that are searching for food and are still developing, its like were undeveloped like a child, that's why Tupac said in "Mortal Man" as you get older as a black man you start to lost hope in life and your not talkative and you basically give up in life. This statement is reflected in movies like "Baby Boy" where its basically saying that black man in general are like young boys because we are never fully embraced as men based on the atrocities society throws at us and theres this lack of developing especially if your poor and black. A black man can turn into a butterfly when you becomes rich or famous, basically earning money for yourself to help your self esteem and you feel fully developed as a man, but Kendrick preaches that even in this position your in, you can still be taken advantage of like a pimp. That's why Kendrick also says throughout the album that hes trying to stay away from drugs or other evils like Lucy (Lucifer) in order not to be taken advantage of. So Kendrick says in order to end racism is for the butterfly to spread its wings to shed light. A butterfly is beautiful and only during the daytime when its warm weather it comes out and when the butterfly spread its wings it sheds light. This butterfly shedding light is also a double entendre to allude to a black person spreading positive messages and uplifting their community which refers to shedding light. If a successful black person sheds light on the positive messages of what they experienced to poor black people, this can end the cycle of racism because poor black people can learn a lot and try to change the aspects that are going on in their life. The message of the butterfly shedding light is disapproved from the first song "Westley Theory" which mentions this confusing state of whether a successful black person should come back home which can refer to their old neighborhood, ghetto, or any poor urban area, theres this confliction of "Which you never came?" and "Niggas wanna come back home," and this revelation happens towards the end of the song where it mentions "Black men coming" in a very frantic and panicky way as almost saying its a bad decision to come back to your home that was poor. On "Moma" is where Kendrick first mentions that hes coming home and this foreshadows to "Mortal Man" where hes shedding light to poor black people in order to overcome their negative circumstances. Kendrick says the caterpillar and the butterfly are basically the same and need each other because racism will continue to happen if black people don't help each other and we shouldn't rely on the government or other entities to help us, black people should rely on each other no matter if your rich or poor. Kendrick tells black people to have self responsibility on songs like "Blacker the Berry." So basically hes saying that black people should stop being victims and help each other, and the more black people help each other theres a possibility racism can end.

Anthony Celestin Underrated comment man

[@Ricardo1030]

Never really dig deep into TPAB but this was great. I have a much better appreciation for the album now. Im gonna jam out to it today and listen to it start to finish.

[@brandikovae1685]

This comment so underrated wow

[@GeebleTron]

Small revision. I'm pretty sure the end of Wesley's Theory the choir is yelling "TAX man coming", in reference to Uncle Sam taking the money of black men for material items, essentially "pimping out" the "butterfly" for his own gain this album is layers deep

[@Barz4Dice]

I suggest listening to 'Dissect' on Spotify, a podcast entirely dedicated to unpacking and understanding everything about this album.

[@logan4x6]

2:48 If an album makes Big Quint say “oh my god” like a white girl, it’s gotta be good.

[@bige9268]

I think this album was better then good kid mad city as a full listen straight through, but the songs on gkmc are more individually listenable then the songs on here. Both are great

[@markb9907]

+Xpack_Music Lmfao you realize it's the other way around right? GKMC is less esnical when taken apart, while TPAB can be ripped apart and every song still remains flawless. Even though he recites bits of the poem, the songs can still be listened to separately.

[@bige9268]

+Mark Barrancos you realize it's my opinion?

[@markb9907]

*sensical and sorry to come across as a douche just thought it didn't make sense considering that the only songs that really can be removed from GKMC and can be enjoyed are the singles

[@markb9907]

I mean if you listen to "The Art of Peer Pressure" alone, it's not as strong cause it's like where does this story start?

[@threat9231]

+Mark Barrancos the beginning lol tf

[@fredreichmendiola9255]

"racism is dumb af" - BIGQUINT INDEED 2015 preach

[@drummersammy4273]

i got chills when i first heard these walls

[@MrDaryllv]

I do everytime. That beat drop is unreal. funky.

[@JR-pz7nh]

Kendrick is just a step above the other rappers. By far the best rapper of this generation. I don't want to hear those J. Cole and Drake comparisons to him because they are just not on Kendricks level plain and simple.

[@desmondduckket2336]

Cole is on his level to me, never Drake though.

[@kanyewest184]

Kendrick and Cole are really similar in Sound, but Drake is driving in his own lane of music (style). You can't really compare Drake to other rappers, because they're not similar enough to do so. All three don't focus on the same things, they all have different styles. In Rapping and in Hip Hop, I'd put K Dot and Cole right next to each other (Kendrick Slightly Above) and Drake under them two. In all the other aspects, I'd put Drake above Kendrick then J Cole. *This is my unbiased opinion

[@ChooseFreshAtSubway]

+6 God Drizzy you can't compare drake to other rappers but you can compare him to pop singers

[@kanyewest184]

ChooseFreshAtSubway smh

[@S0LACE222]

+6 God Drizzy Nigga Said It's his unbiased opinion when his name is 6 god drizzy and he has a drake profile pic 😂

[@iBrianful]

I think it's so dope that thundercat was all over this . Right before the album dropped I found out about thundercat through flying lotus and I fucking loved him

[@TawandaTD97]

great artist

[@obscuredvisions8835]

One of the greatest bassist ever

[@Tral212]

no lie kendrick gives niggas born in the late 90's and early 2000's like that feeling that like niggas that were growing up when tupac was alive had. Legit in 30 years ima be telling my kids bout this nigga. just remember when shit hits the fan to still be a fan. (shits hard to explain but u prolly get what im trying to say)

[@Tral212]

btw my fav song is aint gotta lie

[@abhiramgollapudi999]

+Tyrell Mark Mine is King Kunta.

[@kanyewest184]

+Tyrell Mark These Walls. That Track is straight Beautiful

[@mehtra7395]

fr fam

[@Pi4zza]

+Tyrell Mark Momma fucking gave me the chills no lie, when hes talking to the kid, and the kid tells kendrick that he knows his "language" but how the forgot on what public schools have taugt him. Holy fuck that made me almost cry. Not gonna lie.

[@bhavin962]

I always come back to this video, just for his reaction for "u" cause just like him it leaves me speechless listening to that track every time.

[@TheseOpenRoads]

This is my favorite hip hop album of all time, am i wrong for this?

[@theneovas1]

Nope

[@tommyemil8320]

it is your opinion, you can't be wrong.

[@a12smasher]

no I think this is the best hip hop album of all time

[@thexyzhead]

Nothing wrong with it I also prefer TPAB over every hip hop album even Illmatic.

[@andibritz]

+Tommy Emil if your favorite Album is speedin bullet to Heaven or even worse, by iggy You are wrong.

[@jonathant01i]

[@seanmower3926]

[@cedes65]

[@WUNNALEVEN]

Momma is niiiice

[@Genetikrs]

For sale is my fav at the moment, absolutely incredible album.

[@Swaggstuna69]

How much a dollar cost.....

[@c0wboys4life]

You Ain't Gotta Lie, Alright, and Complexion is probably my big 3 so far. I wanna hear this album on some better speakers tho or in a car to see how i really feel about it tho....my phone ain't cutting it

[@ninjeff46]

My favorite is the new version of "I" it was powerful!

[@jumb0franks]

8:17 to 9:07 is the single greatest 50 seconds on youtube. The laying back pointing at the screen fucking kills me every time.

[@BugVall]

9 years later and people rank this album in the top of not only hip hop albums, but all albums

[@usm1le]

and a good reason for that! insane album to say the least

[@Chowmeinpapii]

First j.cole, Joey bada$$, and now kendrick Lamar.....this year for hip hop is looking great. Keep them coming

[@shooterkid23]

Check out preachers son by ygtut , he's Isaiah rashads friend it was a nice album, tell me what u think of it bruh :)

[@officalatom4055]

Well I mean that prolly cuz of Lasers and Food & Liqour 2....but Tetsuo & Youth was fuckin dope

[@robinswiththestuds]

we can hope on rtj3 and kanye

[@jaymitchell3421]

jay j preachers son is without a doubt the best mixtape of the year . My favorite is Living on the Sun and highs and lows . Glad to see someone recognized that album

[@prncsskid]

my favorites were -- u , Alright . and Complexion . but "u" really hit home for me ! bigquint keep doing what you doing ! you are truly the funniest when it comes to reaction videos .

[@ricardo7oo]

U was my favorite too.

[@jt8234]

This would've been quint's first 1 million view vid if it didn't get removed TWICE smh.

[@icehot900]

He has a 1.6m viewed vid now!

[@Wehibrook]

Bruh I am Straight from Ethiopia and "I" made every Ethiopian Kendrick Fan lose it I still get the chills every time I hear that freestyle. First was The Weeknd, him being 100% Ethiopian by blood and speaking the common tongue and using it in HITS like the hills made us proud but when the King mentions our land of Kings it made everyone proud. And I am a big fan of you. Big Ups brother

[@steezyboi96]

Fantastic point at 26:36. People who are fans of MUSIC are going to love this album.

[@crazyshawn5000]

Best album of the year

[@calebw3353]

No question. Powers that B was great too

[@theneovas1]

+Caleb W currents too

[@bshiesty9]

for some reason this video really reminds me of how much time has passed. makes me feel so nostalgic in the best way possible. thank you for being you quint. indeed.

[@OfficialSnakerYT]

I don't really listen to hip hop that much but TPAB might be one of the greatest albums I have ever listened to. If Lamar can turn someone who listens to classic rock a lot into a hip hop fan, he is a genius.

[@Hunchobaybee]

It’s so beautiful coming back after 4 years and seeing how amazing this album really is

[@MyBihLuhCoco]

Kendrick: *drunk, crying, confessing to every mistake he’s ever made* Quint: 8:28

[@jacksondowdle5217]

I forgot how funny he is

[@vincentvdb6546]

You know it's fire when Quint is already sweating after the first track

[@Ayplus]

Ofcourse the whiteman would cut out the part where Kendrick is teaching us about Negus. . .-_-

[@Paath]

Quite an assumption there.

[@OGNICKMARSH]

***** lol

[@tjayk9127]

This album is about self respect and and equality and you just brought more racism into this gj defeating albums purpose

[@Ayplus]

TjayK This album is about Negus. . .

[@Ayplus]

Paathurnax Open ya eyes man. . .open ya eyes

[@bgetem24]

I really can't see anybody topping this album...i'm serious...maybe Kanye...idk

[@lordquoos7129]

Ever? It probably will, to be honest.

[@bgetem24]

Lord Quoos this year

[@bgetem24]

Maybe ever...we'll see

[@M4RK1999]

mehhh earl dropping

[@bgetem24]

Hentai Swag m8 not a fan of earl but respect

[@boricua9071]

This is pure gold. I play drums and alot of jazz so this album is basically a wet dream for me. I fell in love after the first track.

[@LA-ue2ph]

i'm glad he experimented and came up with this masterpiece, this is what makes a legendary artist. nobody wants to hear a gkmc part 2, real fans of artistry want to see progression and kendrick is constantly pushing the boundaries, one day he's gonna go so far and no doubt become one of the best artists to ever live.

[@nomadnw]

I wish I could relive the first time I heard this album. Crazy chills down my spine!

[@Chelseagrinkittycat]

To much chills for me thinking of it

[@dabroval]

I need literally a year and hours over hours of listen to this album, to understand Kendrick Lamar and his work in his whole complexity Kendrick Lamar is a fucking genius and for me one of the greatest artists of all time TPAB is honestly the best album i've ever heard

[@jadenpatton9615]

This nigga really had to stretch before listening to the album LMAO

[@MrDweeny]

If quint doesn't get up one time for your album just to dance then your album wasn't that good

[@THE_CORNELIUS]

"IS THAT PAC." i watch every tpab reaction i can just for that moment in mortal man it's always fucking golden

[@ohGodlordGeezer]

Or the u reaction always gets me too

[@NFZ22]

TPAB is the greatest album I've heard in the last 10 years.

[@madzmidz]

Even as an instrumental album this would be groundbreaking, the musical scope is extraordinary.

[@11undeadzebra]

the beginning of alright gives me the chills

[@frogery]

No matter how many time I watch this video I'm smiling the whole way through. It's such a good album and you express how good it is in a way that only you can.

[@bootneyleefarnsworth1978]

To Pimp a Butterfly. Masterpiece.

[@jonathann2093]

Every time a new track started its like the face of pure excitement

Watching in 2016 keep going bigQ

[@Pi4zza]

Real shit.

[@suicoke1]

best vid

[@marcobazan4187]

+SUPRA I thought this was his best reaction one. In the FHD one he was just more vibrant and happy on how much he liked it. Here he displays a variety more feelings and emotions

[@MrDaryllv]

+marco bazan Fuck off lol its a review not an album or movie

[@marcobazan4187]

MrDaryllv​ reviews are better if they're engaging aren't they? I don't want him to talk to me as if he's a robot

[@Poch99]

This is one of the best #tpab reviews. Love your passion and dancing! LOL

[@FIRSTCLASSGAMER]

U know u a real fan of this channel when u saw the original version of this vid. big ups quint!

[@radical223]

Seriously,when TPAB's Mortal Man is about to end,I really cried.I have to agree with you.This is what Hip Hop really needs.

[@CEJRAID]

This album is a god damn masterpiece.
