Is it a coincidence this dropped the day Kendrick started the hip hop world war 💀

[@absolutebuffoon1679]

With Future, Metro, Kendrick, and Ye on the same side, its not a war, its a massacre

[@jusasicko849]

revisiting this album was absolutely brilliant. your dads growth and appreciation for the genre has developed a crazy amount. this is perfect

[@putyouon]

Thank you

[@javiartem]

i still remember two years ago seeing the original video, and i remember your dad didn’t like it for the first few tracks and kept saying he just doesn’t understand hip hop or the appeal, then when “u” came around, he cried and called him a genius. this moment solidified how amazing this album is, went from not understanding and not liking it, to crying to it.

[@Hod101]

Man I’m so jealous of you. The fact you have got to share all of these memories with your father is amazing, I hope you appreciate it. I’ve been here for 2 years too! Here’s to 2 more🍻

[@putyouon]

Cheers thank you 🧡

Controversial view: Hip Hop is good for your health overall. Lookin in much better spirits Papa

Not controversial, you absolutely right g

This is actually an amazing idea. Also please listen to bon iver's records, there's only 4 of them and the first 3 are all some of my favourite albums of all time.

I love the sign behind y’all. I put “u” on all the time. Might be my fav from the album.

[@User2637dsk]

U is absolute authentic 10/10 artistic expression . It’s tuff to bump for me honestly it’s so personal, I feel like I’m intruding on something that I shouldn’t be. Every time I put it on it gets to me. But nevertheless mad inspirational

[@Colinkrauss1]

@@User2637dsk I only really wanted to provide a terrible dad pun, but I agree 100%. And, Sing About Me is the only song that makes me feel that way more strongly.

[@User2637dsk]

@@Colinkrauss1 facts. His old song “his pain” w/ bj the Chicago kid, is another one from back in the day that a lot of ppl forgot about

[@Colinkrauss1]

One of the absolute best qualities about Kendrick is his level of introspection and self-awareness. The best art of any kind (to me) is art that comes from a dark place. And it is so much more interesting to hear someone talk about that, instead of the more mainstream ego-stroking style of hip hop. And Kendrick is especially good at writing songs building himself up in one way, and then having a twist that teaches him a lesson. Momma: Whole second verse is “I’m literally an omniscient God.” And then “Oh wait, everything I’ve done is complete failure because I left my community.” How much a dollar cost: “I made it on my own, I don’t need to help you in any way. I didn’t beg, and look at me now.” “Oh wait, that was God and I treated him like absolute crap and I deserve to go to hell.” The Blacker the Berry: “I can’t believe anyone could do this to a poor innocent person.” “Wait, I’m doing those exact same things but I’ve never realized I might be doing it too. Im a hypocrite.” Such great storytelling and writing.

[@xowxvvy5650]

I finally listened to the album a week ago after putting it off for so long and it was genuinely one of the best albums I’ve listened to I just need to see an analysis on it to fully understand

[@daviddevora8105]

If there’s any album worth a re listen it’s this one

[@anthonyv6962]

If you didn’t know the name King Kunta is a reference to either the 1976 novel Roots: The Saga of an American Family or the 8-part miniseries that came out the following year. The story is set during and after the era of slavery in the United States. Kunta Kinte (Toby) is a slave that escapes a couple times and eventually gets his foot cut off for escaping. Obviously, there is much more to the character and story but that is a quick connection to the song where Kendrick (King Kunta) refers to getting his legs cut off. Also, the part about the "yams" has deeper literary reference. Polyphonic a great KZbin channel has a quick explanation about what they believe the yams refer to. "What's the Yams? Kendrick Lamar's Literary References"

[@MICjordanTPR]

A lot of people don't understand the concept of Hood Politics. The first verse is from the perspective of a gang member that Kendrick has some personal affiliation with. The second verse is from the perspective of a gang member he doesn't know personally who still respects him. The third verse is Kendrick himself reflecting on his position and the responsibility that holds.

[@SiphoIkeNwahunanya]

To Pimp A Butterfly 🦋 Best album hands down

[@sigurthorbjornsson1210]

Amazing first video I saw from you guys was that original reaction. And when he cried to U I knew he had some potential in the hip hop world

[@TheMaster500ify]

Watching both reactions today, it is so cool seeing the growth and appreciation of the album!

[@grizzfan018]

I knew u? would be the song that would break him. The first time I heard that song it brought me to tears. Kendrick has a real knack for being able to connect with people in a real way and this proved it. Great video

[@benjaminsostaric3363]

Pleasant surprise of a video, love how much you guys have changed (especially Big Mike).

[@thegoat2296]

Top 5 album of all time ..not just rap albums

[@ninochuu]

wow 2 years went by so fast 😭 congrats guys also would be really interested in seeing you guys listen to paramore's "this is why" 👀

[@User2637dsk]

Thank you for doing this bro You’re the first to do this idea of a re-visit. Love it..This album is so different on second listen. Goodfukinshit guys 🤙

Thanks so much glad you enjoyed it

this is so fun and so wholesome an experience to see your dads progression into rap

[@jakobplscook]

This deserves so many more views

[@ProdbySquish]

This idea is sick. Great Video!

[@putyouon]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@3COI]

I love that you two decided to go back and re-listen to this album. I remember being disappointed with your dad's thoughts on the initial tracks bc he seemed very closed-minded, but I appreciated that he really gave it a shot and came away loving the album. heavy rap is not easy to get into, and choosing one of the heaviest rap albums ever created as an introduction point to rap was an interesting choice. Seems like it worked, though lol

[@trollandroidx]

as someone who only recently found your channel (through the tpab video) it's kinda wild seeing your dad going from a normal beard to full white hair lol

I started listening to Hip Hop albums around 2020, and this was one of the first records I heard... and same as your dad I didn't like it first listen, it was just weird and didn't get it. Nowadays I'm a huge hip hop fan and I'm grateful I gave it a couple of tries and didn't stick with the first listen

React to Raye’s Debut Album!!!

[@nettricegaskins1871]

But it's not speaking the way we speak to one another every day. Rap is about rhyming, following a beat and moving people. That's different from speaking. I'm 53 now and when I was a kid in the 1970s I heard people rhyming/talking on soul records. I heard The Last Poets and rap is a continuation of that.

Where is blacker the berry???

It’s there just missed the timestamp will add it
