[@BaxsStudios]

Yah hes also the first dude I ever heard mention that because I listend to the leaked version a lot and duckworth is my favorite song on the album I always wondered why Kendrick Changed just that lyric. I cant remember one other lyric he changed and God is one funny mf is so much more raw, why this miniscule change. Really shows how insanly perfectionistic Kendrick is as an artist. But imo the song was better with God instead of live it just sounds better so I always rap that lyric instead.

[@orewayasuke888]

@@BaxsStudios It really speaks to the method by which you listen to music. I listened to the leaked version that I got off KZbin bc I couldn't afford streaming services at the time. So I would just play that version back to back which is why I didn't remember the other Kid Capri parts and Cousin Carl skits

I love this dude and he’s like the opposite of spectre

[@gollossalkitty]

Yeah, I honestly greatly prefer this style. While not everyone can spit off the top of their head, this is DEFINITELY not that. This is more of a raw showing of love for the ideas in the record and what this guy latched onto. This doesn't need extra details or loads of editing, not that he didn't have natural talent in putting in details but it didn’t really show until he got to songs he thought were most important which is just natural. Spectre's videos are good; this is my opinion. Fantano's video could have been even more centered around the content he was reacting to, but it did a pretty good job on that and I wouldn't fault him or his editor.

This reminds me of Toyomu's album "Imagining The Life of Pablo", where he couldn't listen to TLOP on release because Tidal wasn't available in his country, so he looked up the titles and samples used in the songs and made his own version. It's not great on its own but it's fun to listen to when you're already familiar with the original.

the highlight is how he remembers all the ignorant parts of blacker the berry but then when it gets to the part where kendrick is trying to make the point he's like "ah shit it is what it is" also cannonically he did GKMC at 3am and TPAB at 4am so this is hour 3 of remembering kendrick songs by memory
