lowkey..... deep dives on all of kendrick lamar's songs

[@IconicVibes.]

@@TERRELLTURNER1999 😂😂😂maybe ones that don't have deep dives already...

[@TERRELLTURNER1999]

@@IconicVibes. fair enough 😭👀

[@Hello4212]

You should do a entire good kid deep dive

[@JuiceW21]

A deep dive into more Kendrick projects like GKMC, TPAB, MMATBS or even DAMN

[@bigsoulja73]

The gunshots ending the first verse is so simple, yet I don't know if anything on a song has ever been that powerful.

[@corncobbob2326]

It reminded me of what happened to the antagonist in Up, showing how swift and sudden death can be and it's not always dramatic or dragged out, especially in reality.

[@scrollwheelguy8561]

it got me the first time i heard that song

[@anwar6336]

No matter how much I replayed this song, there's always more to it. What a beautiful work of art.

[@IconicVibes.]

yeah most def idk how Kendrick managed to make a 12 min song and has your attention through out the track, masterful

[@cniplus9549]

​@@IconicVibes.This song brings a tear to my eye everytime... Still its one of my favorites of all his songs... Thats not saying much because there arent many songs that i dont like...

[@NatureBoii99]

It's easily my favorite song from GKMC. Kendrick has a way of painting pictures with his rhymes. This was cinematic.

[@IconicVibes.]

completely agree with you

[@BOULLINDINHO]

mine is maad city, it was how i discovered kendrick and lyrical rap

[@gio.ks08]

The day I first heard this song, I didn’t think much of it. I assumed people were just overhyping it because of its storytelling. But when I got to 'Dying of Thirst,' my gut sank. As someone going through a spiritual transformation, I felt an overwhelming fear that I was destined for hell after listening to it. Everyone interprets the second part differently, but for me, it's Kendrick warning us about our sins

[@IconicVibes.]

yeah its different for everyone ,i'm glad it finally gave you some soort of spiritual awakening thats how you know its just a beautifully, well constructed song

[@alospraylo]

All time favorite Kendrick Lamar song. From the first listen I was hooked to every beat every word deeply processing the song just in complete astonishment.. to this day I don’t think I’ve ever skipped that song if it came on. All time classic all around poetic true rap storytelling.

[@IconicVibes.]

@@alospraylo yeah it's amazing how he managed to make a 12 minutes song that doesn't get boring half way in, it's a very great song🔥, thanks for watching

[@alospraylo]

@@IconicVibes. right 12 minutes long and it’s like every section has its own story part while when pieced together it tells a whole outlook from multiple different viewpoints. Great video keep them coming the followers will come as well the video was very well made.

[@IconicVibes.]

@@alospraylo agreed 💯im glad yall liking the video coz it took me a long time to make considering it's my longest video yet😭

[@elijahpalma9647]

My 2 childhood best friends introduced me to this song. We were in middle school so we never truly understood the song. I used to be so impressed because they both knew all the lyrics and it was a long song. 10 years later, I believe this to be the greatest song of all time. The depth and layers to every verse is amazing. One of the childhood best friends died and this song is a constant reminder of him. The first verse specifically hits extra hard for me now. They are essentially brothers to me, and even though his death was out of my control, I still felt guilty. This song brings me to tears. And every time I hear this chorus it makes me think of my best friend/brother, to go visit his grave or watch some old videos of us. Miss you D. Thank you Kendrick for this track and for reminding me to promise to sing about him.

[@Tigercam24]

This song makes me emotional, even after all these years. Unbelievable art.

[@IconicVibes.]

yeah ,its a beautifully done song

[@mel9823]

This was so beautifully done. This is one of my absolute favorite songs from Kendrick. Like every time it comes on I don’t skip it.

[@IconicVibes.]

@@mel9823 appreciate u watching the videos 🙏🏾😂

[@smoothbrainforever]

This is a really heartbreaking song, but one that’s even more heartbreaking to me is “u” off of TPAB. Another one to mention is “Mother I Sober” off of MM&TBS

[@IconicVibes.]

@@smoothbrainforever mother i sober for me most definitely

[@lilpurpskurp]

this entire album is like watching a movie, his storytelling is otherworldly and it’s never a casual listen for me

[@deshortyprince10]

I almost always tear up when I hear samidot, the tragedies he delivers touch the soul even when I'm so far removed from that type of grief and life. It allows me to humanize and empathize with groups of people most often dehumanized and villified which is just beautiful

[@cocoapeach]

It’s hard for me to listen to this song. Just the melody alone makes my eyes well up, and then Kendrick’s poignant storytelling is just too overwhelming. I don’t think I’ve played it more than three times in the last decade because I feel it too much.

[@natates7728]

U R A Real One … When I Try To Listen To These Song I feel A Lot Of Hurt Cause Its Reality … I think Its Cause I am struggling not to accept the message cause i chose wickedness instead of weakness as kendrick said it… but i just feel a lot and a lot of memories come and i get hurt for a whole day………… the song is very solid man🎉🎉

[@ocuito4972]

I honestly think this is the best song of all time it has beautiful and perfect beat and has a great beat switch amzing vocals and lyrics and ofc a insane story telling it is perfect and overall gave me a diffrent out look on life what a masterpiece

[@IconicVibes.]

@@ocuito4972 I actually agree

[@yozeuss1054]

yo why did i think i was watching a video with millions of views from a channel with hundreds of thousands of subs. Good work bro you definitely deserve more recognition

[@IconicVibes.]

Thank you so much bro, really appreciate it u watching the video and supporting the channel 💯🔥

[@ashtonhall5248]

This will always be a favorite of mine, there’s a solemnness on this track that hurts every time

[@Whatyoumeanyoudont]

Iconic song, iconic album, i can’t believe people prefer Tpab, both solid albums tho

[@shalev441]

Gkmc is good, but tpab is better

[@Iamnotddb]

The problem with Kendrick Lamar is that every album sounds like it was made by a different person. You can’t compare his work cause it’s like each project had a different mission and he accomplishes it brilliantly every time. Regardless of which I prefer I can’t tell you why it’s better than the other. There’s a reason why the critical ratings are so high. DAMN won a Pulitzer for a reason. The man is extremely talented

[@Balls_official_account]

@@Iamnotddbthat’s not a problem

[@natrell.awsome4711]

kendrick just has an amazing discog lol I got gkmc>mmatbs>=tpab>damn id say the fact that his best album is a toss up just credits him as an artist even more

[@ульянСашков]

unarguebly probably the most shocking and best rap song oat

[@IconicVibes.]

@@ульянСашков it's a veryyy strong contender

[@Nefertiti_Naya]

I just LOVE how reflective KDot is. Thanks for covering this!

[@korgy321]

Fantastic breakdown of the song. I can't think of anything else to add. I'll say appreciate art, in any form, and listen with all your senses. Learn. Act upon the knowledge. Art is life.

@@kilo_lit Appreciate you, thank you so much for watching!

[@spedway9356]

It might not be the most iconic rap song ever, but this song without a doubt, is one of if not the best rap song ever made

[@IconicVibes.]

Most definitely I haven't heard a song that is 12 minutes and this well throught out as a concept

[@aksalic9777]

So glad i got this recommended

[@IconicVibes.]

appreciate this

[@Hello4212]

Brother you have a lot talent and I see 100k subs in your future

[@IconicVibes.]

@@Hello4212 Thank you so much bro, I appreciate u, thanks for the support 💯

[@Sender1257]

My personal take is that His Pain and Opposites Attract are even more heartbreaking, but Sing About Me is very impactful and the definition of a classic

[@parchy-_-]

this song has always been my favorite song ever written. the power that comes from both the most impactful and standout moments like the gunshots that kill Daves brother, even down to the beat Kendrick chose reminds me of home and alot of my own life. not necessarily the violence, i was luckily not so exposed the way Kendrick unfortunately was, but the loss of people and the loss of hope that comes from the fear of not being Sung About. this song blows my mind on how much Kendricks fears reflect my own. ive always been scared to die a meaningless death and feeling like ive failed.

[@TheSkyrimps3]

Keisha’s song is more heartbreaking

[@apollojuniper]

this was an amazing video! very good analysis. SAMIDOT has been one of my favorite kendrick songs as of late & this explains why really well :) keep doing what you’re doing man

[@IconicVibes.]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@yvlogings4430]

Oh my goodness, this song was thoroughly dissected and provides a deep insight on the story-telling and deep philosophical ideas in your video. Honestly it was such an entertaining watch. Really Well Done!

[@IconicVibes.]

Wow, thank you!

Great job dude. My personal favorite Kendrick song

[@IconicVibes.]

@@Weezy.y thanks, I'll put them on the list

how has this peak not blown up yet

[@junyaiwase]

bit unrelated, also great video, but what is up with the dude who just reuploaded the dying of thirst instrumental and claimed rights to this video..

Highly recommend everyone to read Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds. You’ll know why. Preferably the Audiobook available on Audible.

[@ilackskill2970]

best kdot song ever

[@IconicVibes.]

@@ilackskill2970 I agree

[@amanzegreat7387]

I ask myself when will all the violence end, Is humanity just violent

[@leviclark4525]

You should do HiiiPoWeR you have real skill with this, and your videos are easily watched

[@horsebox5138]

Great video but I think when you should display the lyrics that infer the things you are stating when they are relevant. For example from 3:00 to 8:00 you state so much about what the verse means without displaying the lyrics that back it up

[@IconicVibes.]

thank you so much ,for your feedback appreicate it ,ill try to display the lyrics moving forward.

[@insertusernamehereplease]

greatest song of all time, 4yeo is a close 2nd

[@ervinjasar]

I alway thought that die of thirst is thirst of revenge and later on the old lady finds theme as they were ready for revenge but shows them the path of god and forgiveness instead of revenge, violence and hatred

[@IconicVibes.]

@@ervinjasar yeah the thirst is so versatile as a concept but revenge is the main point

[@ervinjasar]

@@nathanadams7595 Maybe it dose but i dont see how it relates to the story of kendrick and what his thirst is. To me the "i am dying of thirst" part of samidot is talking about revenge as they tried to get revenge for kendrick from getting jumped wich led to his freind getting shot and killed and now getting revenge again for the death of that friend but as the cycle would have it the opps will try to take revenge on kendrick and his freinds and it will continue so on unless they follow the path of god and chose mercy and forgiveness over the thirst of revenge .

[@Will-bn9km]

@@ervinjasarhe says “im tired of this shit, it’s my brother homie” in the skit after the last verse on Dying of Thirst, so I think it’s Dave’s brother for continuity sake. That does make it more depressing if that is the case coz it shows even after the interaction with the lady he still succumbs and dies

[@ervinjasar]

@@Will-bn9km yeah no that i think about it if he still tries to get revenge for his brother and he himself sucumbs to death after the interaction with the old lady then its truly sad that his revenge was consuming him to the point of his demise

[@anthonyornelas2395]

best song of all time

[@IconicVibes.]

agreed

[@corncobbob2326]

In the album it turns out Sherane deliberately flirted and spent time with Kendrick with the goal to set him up to be beaten by her gangbanger family members. Why is that? What did he do to warrant that treatment? I know it ended with Dave and his brother dying but did any consequence happen to Sherane and/or her fam? Did his friends' revenge work, even with what happened to the two (and not just killing who shot Dave but also Sherane's fam that beat up Kendrick)? I know and like some of Kendrick's music (besides the Drake beef) but I'm still a bit of an outsider, so I'm asking this to fans with more info who are willing to answer. And yes, I'm on Genius and other sites rn trying to find some answers first.

soooo that wasn’t Katt Williams at the end of the song?!!!

Are you tennis thom🤔

[@IconicVibes.]

@@websonz lmaooooo nahh😂

[@INCRYPTIDFORM]

IMO I think “u” is

[@DOG_EATER_1887]

personally u and FEAR have hit me harder but yeah those first 3 verses are peak kendrick. didnt care much for the second half tho, its in the same vein as Real for being important to the story but not super memorable

[@Six-bw3ir]

You gotta really live that bro, that's the only you finna remember. Trust me second half hits just as hard

[@IconicVibes.]

I kinda agree because most of the emotional impact is set up in the first 3 verses but I'd say the second half is just as important especially with the Maya's spoken word

[@YoHairNappyLikePamMedia]

One of my fave songs off the album. Just a masterpiece

[@Dh3nd0]

Dave’s brother was the one who died tho I thought and not the other way around
