Kendrick Lamar - HiiiPoWeR (REACTION/REVIEW!)

[@jroameverywhere]

J. Cole is absolutely underrated as a producer. This beat is flawless imo.

[@withoutthejuice7193]

Cole has never missed as a producer in my opinion. Bro just knows what sounds good

I 100% agree. Makes me sad that they haven’t moved forward with their collaborative album they were working on.

Classic song keep it up

[@JerseyMcgee81]

The hieroglyphs and pyramids also referenced him building a long lasting legacy, the pyramids are around after thousands of years, a metaphor for how he wants his music perceived.

[@marqueefrescobar]

This song is a classic! It was the first song I heard form K Dot and it’s still as 🔥 today as it was years ago! Glad to see y’all review some classics on the channel!

[@MrOhioPlayer]

My first time hearing Kendrick was on Jay Rocks Hood Gone Love It but I learned he was the chosen one when I heard Overly Dedicated. The song that changed my life was The Heart Part 2. I got to thank him in Baltimore when he headlined the BET Music Matters Tour In front of 2,500 people right before GKMC dropped. Been to every Tour and Festival he's performed at. When I say I shed a tear every show just seeing him grow from shaking his hand in 2011 telling him thank you, to seeing him sell out arenas and be world famous is the greatest feeling. God bless Music.

[@TheJoshestWhite]

Heart pt. 2 was my introduction. Followed swiftly by Cartoons & Cereal.

[@MrOhioPlayer]

@joshwhite6646 Seeing cartoons and cereal live was insane. Because Kendrick would leave the stage as if the set was done, and all of the lights would go out. Then people start yelling Kendrick, Kendrick, Then all you hear is "Now I was raised In a Sandbox." THEN YOU HEAR A LOUD DOOT DOOT DOOT WHILE THE LIGHTS ARE FLICKERING. I HAD AN OUTER BODY EXPERIENCE. KENDRICK LEFT EARTH ON CARTOONS AND CEREAL

[@TheJoshestWhite]

@@MrOhioPlayer that's epic

[@askholia]

I can't count how many times I've listened to this song and NEVER knew till today that Jermaine Cole produced it. I mean, now I totally hear it and knowing J did it adds a new dimension when re-listening.

[@joepickford6219]

The City - Game ft. Kendrick Lamar was the first time I heard him and he absolutely killed it. Originally thought it was an awesome Lil Wayne verse. That’d also be an awesome song to see you cover.

[@princendaba]

Abit of back story: Alori Joh (26:32) was one of the singers in TDE, and also was Absoul's girlfriend. She committed suicide and Absoul made a song called : The book of Soul, where he was speaking about her. I've never heard Absoul rap with such passion and hurt in my life, and he even broke down and cried on the verse. PLEASE REACT TO THE BOOK OF SOUL BY ABSOUL, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

[@brainybunch_kids]

[@scarecrowzw]

Kendrick established a good motif which is in fact reminiscent of how revolutionaries operate. You keep chipping away at the same block until gain headway. He was also drawing parallels between the methods of King & X. One was more for passive change whilst the other was a radical.

[@jackgreenway4679]

This and Kieshas Song kinda just did it for me the second I heard those two songs I knew he was going to do insane things for the rap genre.

Hey guys, first off I wanna as a younger guy who loves old school/classic hip hop I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’ve appreciated your breakdowns and opinions over the years. Since I was 16 y’all have had such an impact on how I consume music and you’ll never know how much your channel has really helped me through some of the tougher times. Without dragging this on too long, I think revisiting older music is such a good idea and I’d highly recommend Kendrick’s “The Heart” series (specifically Pt. 2👏🏾) especially since Pt. 5 really resonated with you guys. Hope y’all end up seeing this and shout out to the free thinkers 🫡
