Oh heyyy STIK!

[@deezmixednutz6660]

BTG...love yall. Great work as usual🦾. Only thing u missed is pointing out the fact (imo lol) that this album is basically a parody of the state of the game at the time. Everyone wanted K Dot to stay away from his signature sound. He proved that he could make an album to please the dummies that are hypnotized by sounds and still get his msgs across. Pure genius🦾

I love how your dads been so humble about his opinions on rap, but now that he’s starting to truly understand rap, specifically Kendrick, he seems so confident in understanding the message(which he always understands). You’ve obviously sparked a deep love inside of him through this, thank you for always sharing the experience with us and for introducing him to these masterpieces

[@luismendes5868]

See, I think we as a people like watching reaction videos and actually get a feel good vibe from them because we see something that is actually lightning in a bottle during our lifetime, those moments where we discover something we are going to end up loving. Sometimes we see that happening on reaction videos, we see the development on the view, the deep interest. It is truly a beautiful thing.

[@m16fermy]

He's humble? Speaking of Humble did you know it's the name of one of the songs in Kendricks award-winning album damn 🤣

[@vijaykiran8616]

I just wanna say that the way y'all reacted to lust dna humble was literally the exact way I reacted

[@GrapesVR-]

Humble? Like the name of the song 😳

[@cool.fella_8317]

BLOOD is also a callback to How Much A Dollar Cost. When he sees the blind woman, he remembers the lesson he learned in HMADC and defies his cautious instincts, only to lose his life over it. This sets up the depression and the feeling of being lost and forsaken by God (ain’t nobody prayin for me) that stays across the whole album.

[@cool.fella_8317]

Kinda like your dad said “no matter what he does he could die” the album is different from his others bcs his whole life he felt like he had this guiding light and he loses that on DAMN. It’s fr his midlife crisis album

[@cool.fella_8317]

As for “what happens on earth stays on earth,” I interpret it as Kendrick talking to himself trying to deal with how small he is compared to the universe, telling himself to zoom in for a sec n focus on what’s in front of him. The whole album is about grappling with simultaneously feeling like the whole world is out to get you and yet you’re insignificant. That duality of perspective is in the title too, feeling damned ofc but also understanding that the world is so big there’s nothing you can say but DAMN

[@name-ei8hx]

wow

[@Kye17]

@@cool.fella_8317 this is why he’s the 🐐

[@ceecooksey4885]

Also “BLOOD.” is a reference to the Bloods. Which is what all of Kendrick’s friends are. The “blind lady” that needs his help is the gang. All she wants is his life. BLOOD. ties back to DUCKWORTH. & it basically explains what would would’ve happened had his father died. He would’ve ended up in the gang life. “….while i grew up without a father & die in a gunfight” followed by the immediate rewind back to BLOOD. was a perfect tie in.

[@giddygosh9625]

[@jennylee6421]

Your comment is what made me notice and it was one of my top played songs last year lol

[@cristianromero5945]

The second half of DNA is entirely a freestyle. Mike WiLL Made-it said that Kendrick was gonna finish before the second Fox News clip but, he continued without the beat for another minute and a half or so. So he snapped while Mike made another beat to fit the freestyle

[@since8342]

Well damn.

[@ChildishGambeaner]

Be completely honest bro, you really believe that bullshit? Lmao

[@herothehedgefox]

holy shit

[@Slantt]

goddamn

[@h0tpotatoes]

And he did a similar thing for DUCKWORTH. He went full acapella, the whole goddamn song, and then sent his vocals to 9th Wonder after Kenny said he wanted to collab, begging 9th to give him just ONE beat. 9th Wonder gave him 3.

[@YetiCoolBrother]

So Kendrick named himself "Kung Fu Kenny" after the name of Don Cheadle's character in Rush Hour 2, which why he ended up getting Don Cheadle in the "DNA." video.

[@Aveofficialtone]

What I love about Your channel vs others. Is your dad is a BLACK MAN. He has lived these experiences like other black children who Kendrick is speaking too. Any race can appreciate the music, but it takes an elderly black man to respect the perspective on a deep level. The language, lingo, and vibe is something he can tune into without much effort.

[@nully1579]

thats exactly what I was thinking you explained it perfectly

[@jombisaur7755]

yeah theres really a big difference if it's an elderly black man cause their time was so much worse

[@styx9193]

I was just posting something similar on their reaction video to GKMC when someone compared them to turning the tables. I do enjoy the latter's work, but especially on hip hop albums (or any "black music") nothing beats the reviews of people who can truly decode and contextualize all the meanings.

[@edwardpolenzani1039]

I always got the impression that “Feel” came after “Element” intentionally to reflect how Kendrick’s inner insecurities (feel) contrast with his outer dialogue (element). Similar to how art of peer pressure contrasted with backseat freestyle

[@MrJefro99]

Nice find!

[@ringoferrer2343]

in ELEMENT he's like "nobody praying for me I don't give a fuck" but in FEEL he's like "oh shit _nobody_ praying for me"

[@unexipiredwater]

did you know that if you play the songs from last to first it tells a different story

[@nobletknowes]

Rihanna’s role in Loyalty is based more symbolic because of what she went through with her accountant. She also raps in the song as well. I respect Pop’s opinion. But I think she is vital to the song.

[@YizzERR]

"I read a case about Rihanna's accountant and wondered, how w did the Bad Girl feel when she looked at them numbers?" -- From the track 'FEAR' :)

[@xbox360therogue]

With as much as your dad loves the jazz elements of Kendrick, you gotta get him into Anderson .Paak and Mac Miller’s last few albums. Would also love to see a Silk Sonic reaction from him!

[@IIREYNE]

the story behind duckworth is just so amazing the fact that Anthony “Top Dawg” was going to kill “Ducky” Kendrick’s father is just so crazy. imagine if that would’ve happened we probably wouldnt have kendrick in our life like we do now.

[@alexxschilling1611]

not hating but kendrick does say “whoever thought the greatest rapper would be from coincidence”

[@huntermoffat]

I remember listening to a podcast that dissects albums. They dissected "YAH" and what I found was super cool is "YAH" is short for "Yahweh". The radar is buzzin' like Kendrick is talking to God over a radio frequency. When Kendrick goes to the line "But it's money to get, bitches to hit, yah Zeroes to flip, temptation is, yah First on my list, I can't resist, yah", Kendrick has all of these evil thoughts like "hitting bitches", "temptation", etc. but at the end of all of those lines "YAH" comes in like God is trying to communicate through all the wickedness. Found that kinda cool.

[@mattlawrence1932]

Yah is actually God so u can't really speak both names as two different identities 💯 they're just two different names for two different religions but they're both the same exact person!!!!!! Yet it's actually blasphemous to call either of them by both names!!!! Atleast to the folks that read from the actual Torah & not a "Bible" apperently 💯

[@sldnrsdnt]

Kendrick has said the album is supposed to be played in reverse order so in that case, its like everything he's done up to blood, is the cause of his death. Succumbing to lust, pride and his soulful desires, eventually leading to him being killed unexpectedly. I can see the blind woman representing judgement, exacting the will of God without bias, but punishing him rightfully for his wrongs, but thats just one interpretation of many. Amazing album

[@IDk-xn5vr]

It's no supposed, remember 'You decide'' If kendrick is gonna live or die, aka reverse or normal

[@diosdadojrlubiano7674]

man kendrick's body of work is so marvelous that I almost cant even pick a favorite anymore. Every album so top tier and thought provoking. Makes you wonder how his mind works is levels above the ordinary man

[@XReactionsOG]

You turning it up loud as possible on the DNA beat switch 🤣🔥

[@brianattyberry]

DNA still gives me chills. I wish I could have heard Gucci on the Humble beat. Mike Will originally had that beat reserved for him once he got out of jail when he lost weight.

[@Maztuhmind]

Wow that beat does sound like it was specifically made for Gucci.

[@Shyknit]

Dna gets me so hype

[@GzusGzus]

When “FEAR” opens with the vocals in reverse, the first line Kendrick starts with afterwards is “I beat yo ass keep talking back” as the first detail and example of fear coming from his mother as a child..also playing on the duality and album in reverse factor

[@gaymerman3420]

The lines “Is it wickedness? Is it weakness?” basically make this album into a choose your own story type of album and are actually the most important lines of the entire album. Every song on the album can fall under either wickedness or weakness and they alternate, for example, BLOOD. is weakness because obviously kendrick dies in the song and the song also has a softer tone. DNA. would be wickedness because of how aggressive and boastful the song is. When you play the album in order, kendrick eventually follows the path of “weakness” and finds god. Once you play it in reverse, the entire story is flipped and he eventually goes down the path of “wickedness” and dies in BLOOD. because of it. It could also be perceived as if playing the album in reverse tells the story of kendrick if anthony killed ducky. Hopefully i explained it well enough this is all from my memory of an analysis i watched on DAMN.

[@aswacko_1416]

I saw that too

[@IceKoldKilla]

You guys should also do "untitled unmastered." Demos unreleased for various reasons including deadlines, license clearing issues, etc. Dope little project in between TPAB and DAMN.

I just figure out that even a year after uploading the video, you are still paying attention to the comment section. It has been said before, but i have to say it again, it is formidable to see you and your Dad bonding and having a walk down Kendrick's discography. I would love to do that with my Parents, but as a French Listener Bridging the Gap wth them is close to an Herculean Labour. I definitly enjoyed watching you feeling "XXX.", one of Kendrick's most underrated song IMO. I appreciate your work. Thank you.

[@BridgingTheGapYT]

[@therealeel3117]

You should still try. If you want to listen to really great French music then slowly branch out then do it. If you have the idea don’t let it slip past you. “French parents react to American rap for the first time” they just need you to slowly branch out. Either way do I toe don’t, but you totally can whenever you want. Have a great day!

[@pitcherrendon]

Xxx always gets me man.

[@Joseph-R]

FEAR has always been my favorite track on this album and I personally think it should have been the final song. The way it wraps all his thoughts and themes from previous tracks into 1 cohesive song is master class.

[@johnrega34]

Kendrick might just be the best poet to ever touch a microphone. I use to think it was 2Pac, but then Kendrick takes it to abother level. DNA alone speaks so much in just 3 minutes that so many other wish they could say. My favorite track on here us FEEL by far. Top 3 albums of all time.

[@KYSMSHKYSMSHKYSMSH]

This album is wonderful and just as ripe for dissection as TPAB!!! Kendrick said this album is his personal favorite that he's done and I can see why. An important factor my girlfriend pointed out to me with DAMN was that the album had a non-linear narrative, as opposed to TPAB which tells one consecutive story. (With occasional callback and narrative parallels) What my gf explained to me was that basically, BLOOD and DUCKWORTH are bookends to an anthology of songs that comprise this "mixtape". I personally believe that the LP as a whole is more in line with the mixtape feel, even forgetting the literal presence of a dj. It's up to the listeners to connect this massive jigsaw puzzle Kendrick has laid out in front of us. He's told us a deeply complex story, told out of order, and gave us everything we needed to deduce how everything in this album was connected. The more you revisit this album, an interconnectedness starts to be noticed throughout various subject matters and styles. Personally, I love the album, and the way he put together a project as rich and multi-faceted as this goes to show why this album won the pullitzer. Just like everything Kendrick puts out, this shit's pretty deep! Sidenote: I'm so excited for the release of Mr Morale & The Big Steppers and your guys' eventual reaction. You're becoming one of my fave youtube channels, so keep it up! :]

Literally, that final line of Duckworth made me a fan, through and through. Thanks for sharing this, and your wondeful relationship to your father.

[@gurjaapbrar908]

There was a really interesting or maybe important line in Lust. When he says “lately in James 4:4 friend of the world is enemy of the lord.” I think this is what Kendrick is battling he doesn’t want to be damned if he becomes a friend of the world.(Mainly the world’s social systems AKA, 7 deadly sins) Lust being one of them and Pride, etc. And that is where the duality theme can come from, the duality being Kendrick’s effort to battle trying not to be damned.
