"You're lookin' at the Messiah, the son of Jehovah, the higher power The choir that spoke the word, the Holy Spirit The nerve of Nazareth, and I'll tell you just how much a dollar cost The price of having a spot in Heaven, embrace your loss. I am God" Not sure how much of this is pulled from the bible but I get chills everytime. Literally my favourite line ever.

[@idocta12]

I'll always come back TPAB but I will never forget this song. The beat, the flow, the story, the lyrics, the metaphors, the relatability and the religion aspect is all so much and too much and enough at once. In ONE FUCKING SONG

[@Inkthenoble]

Euphoria bro I swear I can listen to it on repeat and still got chills

[@DomR1997]

It's a powerful line. We grow up with a lot of emphasis on God depending on your family. I grew up catholic, I'm borderline an atheist now, and it's still chilling for me. Goose bumps. Whether or not god is real, I dont know. But if he is and he comes down to earth, that's how I imagine he'd be.

“The Blacker The Berry” or “u” would be great for you guys, maybe Blacker the Berry musically will be better for you guys but both of them are stunning lyrically

[@phar0ahad3]

even i is a banger...i kvie the song "I" i dont get why people ignore it...

[@IsdudeMe]

phar0ahad3 only for the album version in my opinion, and even then I don’t think they’ll get it because the song is heavily tied in to the concept of the album which they won’t be able to appreciate fully out of context, especially the second half

[@Boog1137]

exactly, i actually prefer the live instrumentals in the album version. It's a lot more jazzy to me

[@Boog1137]

as well as that great acapella bit at the end

[@BroImLeandre]

I love “U”.

[@KyoPewz]

The beautiful thing about this song is it doesn't matter if the homeless man is actually god or not, his point still stands. By being selfish and greedy you can argue Kendrick loses a spot in heaven or atleast decreases his chances. Even if you don't believe in a Religion his point stands, heaven is all just one big metaphor for being happy with yourself, doing the right thing morally and giving away a dollar makes you feel good, gets you closer to happiness ( Heaven ). That's the true beauty of this song, in pointiancy but still slight vagueness.

[@iamjulian2810]

KyoPewz nah

[@oliviermarcoux9675]

Julian Alexander oh ok

[@corbynliam7441]

you're wrong because that's not theological nor is it what Kendrick intended but if its your take then we can't take it from you so big up

[@nsane6581]

THE BLACKER THE BERRY, THE SWEETER THE JUICE

[@GZZI11ION]

hi ollie

[@AvenirToThe]

Pretty simple honestly. The man came to Kendrick as a homeless person with nothing, asking for him to give grace. Kendrick refused but still saw that there was something different about the man and questioned his intentions. The man was god and was asking for grace in order to get to heaven. He was disguised as someone with nothing because grace is not about material but about giving unselfishly when we see another in need. And so Kendrick was unwilling to give therefore was banished from god. Begging the question, how much does a dollar really cost? When we are unwilling to give to those in need, that person in need could be the most important person you could ever meet. How much does a dollar cost?

[@Ismail-sl5we]

It could also mean that you are given an opportunity to go to "heaven" only once. Someone or something will happen in someone's life that will allow them to achieve wealth, power, or respect and evaluate to a new level in life. "Heaven" is seen as something where someone gets what they've never been able to have. For most people its wealth. For some its women, and for some its power. I mean the list goes on, but what I think Kendrick wants to tell the world is that you will be given a chance atleast once, and opportunity to change your lifestyle and be given a chance to obtain things never before was obtainable. All at a cost of giving up something small. Weather it be a small investment, or a small help to someone, or helping a chairty, being part of a movement, etc.... I mean it all connects to the whole message of the tpab album.

[@sibem8859]

The beggar could also be saying it metaphorically as in we are all children of god and he sees us as deserving of mercy. Also he could have just been a crazy guy.

[@Zuentax]

He said he was god... he is not sure if he is... it was a real experience.. but it gos him thinking cause we are made in the image of god according to the bible... when mozes asked god who and what are you god answered.. I am that, I am.. aka he is being.. being = consciousness god is conscious of everything we are conscious...aka we are all a part of god... and everything with consciousness is God... dont want to go deeper into it..

Let go of your dollar. (Your life), and let that allow you to get past materialism and sin (pride, greed, envy of others' wealth), and let god live in you." I went in a bit much, but metaphorically that line can have so many meanings.

[@mannyrasco6007]

“Be careful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unaware.” I believe this is conceptually what Kendrick is conveying. Although complex, the story is straightforward. Basically, he pulled up at the gas station and a bum asked him for a dollar. Kendrick wouldn’t give it to him. He was unwilling to do it because he judged the man’s character by his appearance and thought the dollar would go wasted on drugs or alcohol. Turns out the man was an angel/Christ/God in a terribly lowly form and by not giving him a dollar - an insignificant amount of money - Kendrick (or the character he is portraying) loses out on his opportunity to bless the MAN and thus loses out on salvation. My two cents.

So Kendrick loses his spot by not helping the homeless man. Anyway really enjoy these reactions keep it up guys.

Kendrick will most likely be considered one of the greatest rappers of all time, however hip hop heads, especially the older ones hesitate to bring new rappers into the conversation until they prove their longevity (10-20 years in the game) e.g. Jay z or they create timeless music that impacts the future generations e.g. Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Wu-tang.

[@cantu7214]

most old heads already accepted Kendrick tho. he got the new and old fans

I would say if your going to do a full kendrick album do good kid maad city. It's much more easier to listen to than to pimp a butterfly. It's a storytelling album and tells his upbringing in Compton. It's a short film basically and also enjoyable to listen to straight away. Phenomenal storytelling

[@cantu7214]

true. TPAB takes someone whos main genre is rap to truly appreciate

[@gunner0479]

@@cantu7214 yhh it's not the first kendrick album you wanna listen to. It took me a while to enjoy it.

[@itsRichErich]

I wanna see their reaction to hearing "Sherane"... such a flawless intro

[@justjayceeok99]

TPAB actually got me into rap lmao

[@gunner0479]

@@justjayceeok99 I find most people who listened to other genres of music and who are older enjoy to pimp a butterfly more than general hiphop fans. But just by watching these two I don't think they would enjoy it as the first album they heard from him. The production would be kind of off putting maybe

[@lawvanleeuwen]

Do Isaiah Rashad

[@DTTaTa]

Yeaaaaah

[@Ryan-hy6vo]

This album is a masterpiece and the greatest not just hip hop but greatest album regardless of genre of this decade.

[@lukeshen1661]

this song is so amazing man lyrically conceptually and sonically

[@gunner0479]

You should check out some of kendricks more accessible songs aswell like king kunta, money trees, swimming pools, poetic justice

[@Nintendude4life]

Kendrick is PENATRATING those GOAT conversations more and more ;^)

[@panini578]

Listen to “i”, “u”, and “blacker the berry” by Kendrick

[@johnkerr3050]

Nah they just need to listen too the whole album lol

[@panini578]

Simplethegoat true

[@dominickskinner407]

To pimp a butterfly is a story in Kendricks way of his journey through the music industry. There is a podcast called dissect that takes apart the whole album, I really recommend giving it a listen.

[@lukapitkanen3333]

I want Simon to hear the whole album. It's really an experience...

[@JehZHD]

REACT TO SCARLXRD - HXW THEY JUDGE, ITS METAL AS FUCK

[@ezraprzytyk]

Actually amongst even many old head they put him in the GOAT convorsation much more then anyone from his generation. Hes up there with; tupac, biggie, eminem, nas, jay z, rakim, etc

[@AA-yi2fg]

Nah Kanye should not be in that conversation. Definitely not for his lyrical ability.

[@HeyStepTaco]

Kanye?? Definitely shouldn't be in the list. He's more known to be a great producer rather than lyricist.

[@ezraprzytyk]

Jesus Suarez yeah i was hesitant in putting him in but in terms of hiphop legends in general and the amount of classics hes made i hear people putting him in that convo all the time! Maybe not AS much by the older gen tho

[@ezraprzytyk]

There i took him out cause i guess we kind of are talking lyrical ability more than anything but i wouldnt put jay in there either

[@HeyStepTaco]

@@ezraprzytyk I understand. Andre 3000 is definitely up there as well.

[@noahcooper2105]

This song is not acclaimed that much but people do love it, more the entire album itself is widely celebrated and this is one of the most access able.

[@cameronwarburton1741]

Many fans interpret Kendrick’s last four albums as him playing on four different mediums of media. His Section 80 album being a Book, GKMC being a Film, TPAB being a Poem, and his latest album DAMN being a Screenplay. I’d recommend that you give the albums a full listen again after you do maybe 3-4 tracks from each, as in perspective the brilliance of his music is even more apparent. Love you guys, keep up the hard work, as for recommendations and due to the fact you mentioned Lupe, I’d love for you to listen to Jump from his latest album DROGAS Light, it’s a lyrical, upbeat track and has a little story to it.

[@jameswallace5235]

That's really interesting

[@vintagetrey4272]

Listen to blacker the berry

[@DiesleADogg]

I think you guys should react to the whole album at once. Each song ties together, and I think it's taken better as a whole. I understand that means you won't be able to get to other artists for that recording session, but I think in this scenario it would be worth it. This is some of the best hip-hop ever created.

[@johnkerr3050]

Factssssas

[@ownedpowned860]

Huge L TPAB is the most overrated album which is pure mediocrity

[@johnkerr3050]

owned powned Looks like someone doesn’t understand the album

[@johnkerr3050]

owned powned Also the most overrated album ever is All Eyez on Me, Makaveli’s better

[@ownedpowned860]

Simplethegoat lmao don’t even I’m sick and tired of listening to the retards on the internet heralding anything kendrick does as a classic. He’s so fucking overrated it just amazes how so many are brainwashed by mainstream media. He’s so lucky to be in era where most rappers have zero lyricsm so when k dot comes and starts rapping with meaning people jump on the hype train. TPAB is mediocre and very very poor attempt at being a protest rap album and kendrick fails terribly and being a political socially conscious rapper. Dead prez turn the radio shits on this album, killah priest, immortal technique, Paris, public enemy one have all spoken far deeply on similar matters but only until mainstream media sucks the dick out of aftermath as they’ve always done they herald as a classic. For it to be such it has to be the best in its field which is truly isn’t hell its far from it I feel bad for the rappers I listed been far superior but only because they don’t have Dre behind them their shit will never get the recognition it deserves. Ever since he signed for Dre I knew what was gonna happen goodbye to true hip hop like his section 80 album and now it was time to ride social waves to make profits. Fuck mainstream media I’m sick of it one day people will realise how overrated kendrick is can easily name 25 rappers better than that guy. Damn was shit, TPAB was mediocre, GKMC was good definitely not a classic, Section 80 was great

[@Crv977368]

The inspiration for this song is an amalgamation of Kendrick Lamar's real experience on his trip to Africa and the Bible story Mathew 25: 31-46. Amazing piece of art by Kendrick. One of my favorites next to "Sing About Me, I'm dying of thirst", Which is one of the greatest songs ever written.

[@Emkay1205]

Childish Gambino - Me and your mama !!!!!!!

[@sciencecharity]

Meir Khassidov the best song of that album!

[@MrSteviethegreat]

the guitar on that song sounds like the ghost of Eddie Hazel ! love it

[@bstosnbata]

I gave my English professor TPAB. He's a gay balding white guy that knows nothing about hip-hop, and he still found TPAB as some incredible literature. Kendrick is a great lyricist, but I don't think he's the best at it. What he is the best at though, is story telling. He is a pure artist.

Love this channel. Your positive attitude is really contageous. Some Kendrick tracks that would be cool to get your reaction on: Fuck your ethnicity Ronald Reagan era Keisha's song (Sing about me, i'm dying of thirst's second verse is very much linked to this song) Hiiipower (This song is actually produced by J. Cole) The art of peer pressure good kid Wesley's theory King Kunta These walls (This song is referencing sing about me's first verse) u Alright For Sale?

Childish Gambino - Me and your Mama!!!, its the marriage of Lenny Kravitz and Pink floyd, shits amazing, pls react to it!!

[@MrSteviethegreat]

to me it sounds more like funkadelic. But Lenny Kravitz was a big funkadelic fan. check out Margot brain. There stuff before 1975 was very Psychedelic rock oriented.
