[@lyonnfire3262]

One thing a lot of people look over is ‘assassin aka agent sasco’ on the hook. He’s a Jamaican artist singing in patois which is the dialect spoken in Jamaican which came from African slaves being forced to speak English. So that fits perfectly with the theme of the song

Great job as pointing out how Kendrick displayed the Kanye quote without all of Kanye's ignorant bullshit. Malcolm X has a quote similar quote that I think both got the idea of mental slavery from.

I must second this, after the third verse, in that silence, I found myself surprised as a single tear escaped my eye. I'm black and So as a coloured person with my own unique perspectives and struggles I could feel the understanding, the empathy, like a part of my reality was deeply reaching you. That's what I'm here for. Thank you gentlemen.

Slavery isn't really taught in American schools either. It's brushed over with some emphasis on the emancipation. Listen to King Kunta from this same album

[@luv_nolando]

Ricardo Teran it really depends on where you go to be completely honest it’s luck of the draw and depends on your teacher and culture

[@jamskaterpete]

Ricardo Teran here in Florida we were definitely taught enough about slavery, starting from elementary all the way to high school.

[@OnTh3Mov3]

You must not have been in school for a while, it’s all they teach from junior high to high school

[@WanderKrew]

I took AP US history last year and slavery is mentioned pretty heavily in every chapter up until the emancipation.

[@sollertiskhan3254]

Nah its taught alot

[@bobbydee30g]

Fun fact Good Kid M.A.A.D City plays like a novel/movie begging to end. To Pimp a Butterfly is the album that plays like a poem that ties all his previous works together. You can literally tie tracks together directly from past works (ex. Kieyshas song - Sing About Me - You). Mind blowing

Cudi and Kanye where the ones who revolutionized hip hop/pop music in the late 2000s, what hip hop is today is largely thanks to those two. They pushed the sounds and culture forward.

Music at its peak can truly lift the fog between people and help them see each other. I’m not black but this album made me do research into the issues black people have been speaking about. All because of music. Your channel also is great because I get to see this effect in real time through you two. Thanks!

Well worth the wait lol.. awesome reaction!!!! I love how you guys really give your input you, both definitely need to check out his "overly dedicated" and "section.80" projects as solo reactions but a great meaningful song from Kendrick is "Faith". This song actually helped thru a dark period in my life

[@drew1753]

Excellent reaction! Love the channel! If you guys like introspective Kendrick this is definitely the album for you. In my opinion, it's a 10/10 album and definitely one you can sink your teeth into and spend a lot of time picking apart. You guys also need to listen to Good Kid, MA.A.D. City from front to back. Honestly, just listen to everything Kendrick. You can't go wrong. He's a gift to the music world.

[@Crv977368]

I've been waiting for this video for awhile now and y'all didn't disappoint! Great video guys, thank you! I got a video suggestion for y'all: Do a long video of Kendrick songs "Don't Understand", "Keisha's Song", and revisit "Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst" all in one with your current new found Hip-Hop Knowledge. It would be a long video, but it would be worth it because they're all connected in one big story like a movie. That's how Kendrick Lamar wanted us, the listeners, to take in those tracks and it's an amazing piece of art!

[@Tamales1612]

If you want an in depth analysis of TPAB after your first full listen i recommend listening to the dissect podcast on spotify. It really goes in detail about the underlying story and lyrics as well as the music. Really helps people understand why this album is considered one of the best albums of all time

[@Lemon_Oppy]

I just analyzed this album, and wow what a masterpiece I know he got flak for calling himself a hypocrite *spoilers* at the end of the song he says he’s a hypocrite because he cried for Trayvon Martin, but he killed an African American man. Nobody is sure if he truly has, but he’s alluded to it, it’s one of the few mysteries left about his character, but people took it as he was saying all people in gangs or anyone who killed their own race can’t cry for Trayvon Martin, but the beauty of this album is he doesn’t only talk about societal issues, but it’s a continuation of GKMC, and throughout this entire album he talks about the community, but also talks about his personal journey against Uncle Sam and Luci, and his eventual transformation into the Unpimpable butterfly, I think here he once again wove his personal story into a song about America in general, he’s calling himself a hypocrite not the community. He’s a genius and a leader

[@spyczech]

I agree, the ambuguity of music in that sense is so beautiful and I think its SO important artists have room to say things like this in their tracks. It was a tradegy that Georgia DA used rap lyrics to get a conviction I feel like metalheads also understand this feeling
