ITS TIME FOR CHANGE - Kendrick Lamar - Blacker the berry - (official music video) REACTION FRReacts

[@atma86]

All the people explaining the lyrics are fulfilling the line “once I finish this witnesses will convey just what I mean”

[@212phantom]

when kendrick says “I might just push the button” that symbolizes calling the west coast to “go to war”. He previously mentioned he is the only one next to snoop that could push the button.

[@dandirck3178]

oh yea!!!!!!!!!!!!! hood politics is one of my favorites from the album and i hadn't realised that thank you

[@EShum]

Just as the dark side of the moon is never lit up, the real face of black culture is never seen in today’s America.

[@Habibis_ting]

This is the best interpretation of that bar that I've seen yet ❤

[@shipshoptoolsoklama8172]

Wdym by real side?

[@cheshireket3132]

This song makes me cry. I am a mixed person who comes from a hispanic country (where my blackness was heavily discredited). To me It expresses the pride of being black. And when i listen to it, i can feel my pride still inside.

[@Matheusrfrosa]

Yo same man , this shit gets me so proud bro no cap

[@Matheusrfrosa]

Love to see I’m not the only one

[@paulgabes787]

2:43 The moon is black its just the reflection of the sun that makes its shine.

[@WRLD-ch4ft]

Yeah, and the other side of the moon is soooooooooo dark you can’t even see it at all.

[@puupipo]

There's another layer of meaning to this track that you might have missed. I don't blame you, it's a first reaction, I get it. But since no one has mentioned it in the comments yet I thought I'd do it. Notice how Kendrick begins each verse with "I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015", and goes on to say that if you listen to the end you'll agree. Well, at the end of the third and final verse he raps "So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street / when gang banging made me kill a n-word blacker than me / hypocrite!" He spends the majority of the track addressing society's racism against black people, and yet at the end it's revealed that he actually feels conflicted about it because he himself (or a fictional character he's rapping from the perspective of) has killed someone because of the shade of their skin. So, not only is this track about racism, it's also about a kind of self-hatred within African-American people that is a result of racism. I certainly can't speak to it as a white guy but I can be thankful for artists like Kendrick and try to learn from what they have to say.

[@thefreshmailand]

I agree, although I don't think he killed him because of his skin color, more like other reasons like pride or greed. However, African Americans killing each other is the point where they turn themselves into hypocrites while they talk about their problems which are self-made to some degree. This point is mentioned by him in other tracks too.

[@Habibis_ting]

I'm so glad you've said this, I feel like many people overlook this part of the song. good insight bro

[@hoodz7776]

[@Iplayquad]

Ya all the music on his tracks are about his actual life so ya, and also I def heard it the first time and its a good and main part of the song so good explaination

[@melferriera333]

Black as the moon without the sun shining on it

[@psouposrs6975]

The chorus is too deep! "They put me in a chain, cause I'm black - imagine now, big gold chains full of rock" from chains as a slave to golden jewellery full of diamonds "And then with the whip they left scars on my back, but now we got big whips parked on the block" slaves use to get whipped for disobedience and now they got big whips (cars) parked on the block 🔥

[@LogicallyIllogicalStudio]

Insane

[@RollTide1995]

Songs like this, and moments like TPAB, are just a couple of reasons why Kendrick is the GOAT of his generation. Easily in my top 5 dead or alive.

[@Khalidi0_o]

Fact of the day: The moon is black, the light from the sun reflect on its surface which lights it up.

[@demetriuslloyd3736]

I’ve never heard nobody like Kendrick Lamar..... WOW.

[@bloodblitzowns11]

its interesting that you guys have the mics set to only come out of their respective channels. So it feels like youre speaking from either side, i kinda like it.

[@MoneyBeGreenMf]

Very professional

[@BluEx22329]

Oh

[@RaghuRoxx]

Bruh i didn't even realise that until i read your comment and plugged both my earphones.

[@kevlarmoneybags157]

Aye homie with the grey hat. I can see he's young but his grasp on life. Real life is real. Its beautiful.

[@miguelojeda7583]

Kendrick is known as the best of our time for a reason. This was one of his most controversial songs. He performed it at the bet awards the year of its release. Amazing performance you should check it out on your own time. Love the reaction. Now that’s I have said my thoughts back to my requests. J Cole - everybody dies and Joey badass - La leakers freestyle.

[@ahooraj3577]

It’s great to see a reaction with a worthwhile breakdown of the issues so long after the song came out. This song has not once failed to give me goosebumps or tears in my eyes. Great work to you two. I’m glad I found my way to your reaction. Cheers

[@LogicallyIllogicalStudio]

Thank you Ahoora, truly appreciate the support. Cheers

[@niki4you]

In regards to the comment below me I honestly don’t know why people find his music not re-listenable? Even the songs that are heavy in lyricism still have banging beats! But if you take out the heavy songs you’re still left with AT LEAST 5 songs per album that are just great bangers.

[@kkreactions2761]

Kendrick saved my life

[@ShawnFarris]

Let’s get some more Kendrick on the channel !! Can literally pick any song you want he’s that good

[@LogicallyIllogicalStudio]

👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼💯🔥

[@loxworthsa2928]

"Just because we're doing it differently it doesn't mean it has gotten better." those words my dude💪🔥

[@ethandaniel8123]

I love how honest and respective you guys are of your own personal opinions I love that. No matter the difference we are all the same and bleed the same no matter what. Just because someone has a different belief doesn’t mean we hate them we should respect one another everyone has their OWN belief and not everyone thinks exactly align or alike as one another. That doesn’t mean we can’t be friends some political issues get in the way of being an actual humanitarian to one another we only have one life make it count.

[@LogicallyIllogicalStudio]

Thank you Ethan, we couldn’t say it any better then what you just said. Much love and respect. LETS GO!!!👊🏼👊🏼

[@JeromeProductions]

I’d say Kendrick is closer to Malcolm X with his intensity

[@MphoMphiwe]

I love you guys by the way I will subscribe coz u guys are real.. Kendrick is Great for this ryt.. Keep being real

[@wada8658]

hey fellas appreciate you guys for listening to this song, another song that I would love your to listen to and that I believe is as powerful as this song is mortlal man. thats if you didnt listen to it yet

[@bloodblitzowns11]

"Im black as the name tyrone and darius, excuse my french but fuck yall" is ironic because Tyrone and Darius are common names for African Americans yet their origins are rooted in Ireland and Persia.

[@KingKong-od8nn]

Ty you guys for reacting to this

[@kikilovesyou1600]

nice reaction. one of the best reactions to this song

[@bigblue3216]

Oh yea man Kendrick is on that next level of Hip Hop this song is so fucking raw. Hope you guys do more Kendrick soon. 🔥🔥

[@ibuprofriends]

[@Oscar-os7fj]

Fantanos 3rd best song of the decade and Tpab is his best album of the decade.

At the end of the course he says every race start from the block remember. That

[@joredet8521]

There are very few people in the world who can do what Kendrick did in this song. And if it was anyone but him, it would not have done this justice. The thing about this song is that you can’t only agree with one portion of the it. Half is about people who use stereotypes and condemn systemic racism, vs the self hate inflicted within the black community that results in gangbanging as a product of greed. “I’m the biggest hypocrite of 2015” is his way of saying, “you don’t get to just choose one”. There is so much more in this song to dive into that opens 100 more doors with even more meanings. This is why people need to give Kendrick time for his albums. This will be a significant piece of history and to see it popping up now with all of the protesting shows me that Kendrick owes nothing to anyone. He’s paid his dues already.

[@PREMIUM_CIDER]

"i know you hate me as much as you hate yourself, jealous of my wisdom and cards I dealt. Watching me as I fill my tank and peel out. Muscle cars like pull ups, show you what these big wheels 'bout".. The white man is jealous of the flamboyant nature of a successful black man knowing that he would never live up to the social applaud as the black man, even if he displayed the very same antics of having a muscle car with big rims. The black man is jealous of the successful black man because in many cases you need hard work, determination and a lot of LUCK to get yourself out of the hood, buy a car and live the good life... these forms of jealousy both culminate into a form of hatred that comes from jealous, a hatred of one's self and love for another's good fortune

[@MG-gb6hg]

KDOT is The GOAT i respect his hustle his skill and talent its undeniable. But i cant get into his music and keep on relistening to it like some.

[@genesisosuna]

Why not? I can understand some like mortal man, fear, or maybe even sing about me, but most of his songs are relistenable.

[@MG-gb6hg]

Genesis Osuna sing about me is a masterpiece. There is only a few that i actually have on my playlist that i do relisten. But idk maybe its his flow? Or voice that isnt too appealing for me

[@genesisosuna]

@@MG-gb6hg I'm not denying that. But your point was that you cant listen to some Kendrick songs on repeat so I mentioned lengthy ones that are very dense lyrically ehat not everyone might enjoy from that standpoint.

[@amanSpawn00]

Play on the term black heart, meaning it’s full of evil not love I’m BLACK as the heart of a fuckin Aryan That was the simplest yet hard hitting line of all the lines besides the ending bars

[@onnarampage4984]

I feel like Kendrick took a life at 16 he mentions his life kinda changing around that time in many songs. Songs like this isn’t necessarily a confession, more like he expressing his anger at how blacks have so many societal disadvantages that lead us to live how we live. Kendrick is angry bruh listen to his songs

[@deazy6453]

I think this is yall time, man. This just came up on my recommended
